THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
Caledonia, Livingston Co., IV. Y., April 13. 
—We have just passed through a great storm. 
The fall of snow was not so great, but the wind 
Wits high and the temperature low. Yesterday 
the thermometer at sunrise was at 11°; this 
morning at 15*; at 12 M., with a clear sky, at 
27*. The prospect for a good crop of winter 
wheat Is not as good at present as on the first 
of March. Then winter wheat on good and 
well-prepared soil looked well; but wit h all or¬ 
nate thawing and freezing it is badly seared and 
some of the poorer fields appear entirely de¬ 
stroyed. Some $UOh fields have not been seeded 
to clover, thinking It may be more profitable 
to plow them for spring crops. Clover has 
heaved out very much, caused by the great 
amount of rain. The frusta of the two preceding 
winters were more severe, but the ground was 
dry, and clover wintered well on timbered 
lands; but complaint is heard from the porous 
subsoils of the town this spring. It was antici¬ 
pated last fall that there would bb more or less 
suffering from lack of fodder; but with reduced 
numbers and judicious feeding, 1 have not as 
yet heard of any great want, although the yia- 
jority have to feed with care- At auction sales 
on the last of March, hay sold cheaper by three 
to five dollars per ton than at such sales last 
fall. Bui if the present unfavorable weather 
continues ten or fifteen days, 1 shall not be 
surprised to see a large increase in demand aud 
price, for the reason that the amount of feed in 
the country is very small. There has been a 
little plowing done. One here and there, 
started the last of March and again last week; 
but all is at a stand-still now. The price of 
farm labor by the month and board, ranges 
from $24 to $26. Men with families sometimes 
have privileges added by way of pasture, house 
or land. The roads are in no condition to 
movo any amount of grain, but I think there is 
not a large reserve on hand. Wheat, is seiliug 
at $1.40(gi1.60; barley, $2; corn, S0c.; potatoes, 
B0@90c.; bay, $15@25; good cows. $35@80; store 
sheep, $3.802.5; yearlings. $2,60(g*C50. Caledonia 
has not been as well supplied with butter as 
New York; at times a pound could not be 
bought in any store lathe town and 40 cents 
was reached; but country buyers are reluctant 
ones at such figures. The grape and peach 
appear to have wintered well.—n. l. 
Mechanicstown, Carroll Co., O., April 14.— 
Farmers have most of oats sown; some corn 
ground plowed; the past winter mild; feed 
plenty; crops last year about medium; these 
l'ox township hills used to be a reproach and 
by-word, but tho property here has changed 
hands within a few years; the present owners, 
by using fertilizers and sowing clover have 
adopted an improved system of cultivation. 
Land here that was counted comparatively 
worthless 15 years ago, will now produce 70 aud 
80 bushels of corn per acre. Wheat $1.50; corn 
65c.; oats 50.; horses $140@235; cows $4O@80; 
wool 50355c.; Land $50@100 per acre; money 
plenty, loaning at eight per cent.— j. n.

fees of our readers, we would state that we have
