THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
Jersey City, Wood Co., O., May IS.— Very 
backward spring; weather very oold ; the last 
two or three weeks more favorable. Winter 
wheat was badly Injured by freezing, and will 
not be an average crop; within tho last few 
weeks it has improved greatly. Clover was 
badly frozen ; what is loft is improving rapidly. 
| Considerable land has been sown to oats, and a 
small amount to flax, neither of which look 
very well. Prospect for apples not good. Peach 
prospect excellent. Prospect for a crop of cher¬ 
ries likewise good. A large amount of land will 
be planted lu corn; probably one half the corn 
Is In tho ground, a small amount being up. 
Stock looks tolerably well; feed of all kinds 
was extremely scarce before pasture started. 
There is no sale for horses and but little de¬ 
mand for cattle; milch cows bring $25028; a 
large number liave been bought and shipped 
East. Wheat Is worth $1.3501.45; corn. 00070c.; 
oats, 35040c.; hogs, $0.250,6.50 ; potatoes, $1.26® 
1.50; dried apples, 10012c.; butter,25030c.: eggs, 
12c.; clover seed, $5; chickens, 7®So.; turkeys, 
12c.; beans, $2.50; lard, 8@10c.; hay, $15020 per 
ton.— h. vv. 
Amherst, Mass,, May 35.—Winter set In very 
oold and stormy Nov. 15. From that time until 
May it was very changable—summer and winter 
all mixed up. The mean temperature of No¬ 
vember was 20' 68’, and of December ZIP 23'; the 
coldest November for 36 years. Depth of snow 
fallen in Nov., 12.0 inches; Deo., 17.2; Jan., 
10.8: Feb., 18.1: March. 7.1: April, 14.0—total, 
79.2 inches. Number of days’sleighing in Nov., 
14; Doc.,6; Jan., 10; Feb., 10; March, 1: April, 
1—total, 41. The mean temperature of April 
was38°83'—the coldest April for.T6 years. Spring 
was very backward up to May 8. Since that 
time It has been much warmer, and vegetation 
Is about as far advanced as at the same date 
last year. The past ten days it has rained about 
half the time. A heavy south-east rain storm 
to-dny. Grass land looks very promising. There 
Is a fine prospect for a good crop of fruit of all 
kinds.—L. w. a. 
Lake Co., O., May 26.— Fruit prospects here 
arc remarkably fine at this time, and similar 
reports come from all parts of tho State. We 
have not, bearing treos enough for a large crop 
of peaches, but probably enough for home use. 
Cherries, pears and apples are also setting fruit 
very abundant; and all will need thinning and 
good culture to prevent injury from overbear¬ 
ing; though the insects usually perform this 
work pretty effectually—especially the apple 
worm or codling moth—unless sheep or bogs 
are kept In the orchards during summer. We 
find this much the best mode of trapping the 
worms. Potato beetles (Colorado) arc already 
abundant on tho early plants, and they lose no 
time In depositing their eggs, If not speedily 
picked off. Our potato growers arc expecting 
a hard fight with them this season. — M. B. 
Bateham. 
Kenosha Co. , Win., May 25. —The Spring has 
been cold and dry here, with some hot days. 
Wheat sowed from 10th to 15th April, barley 
and oats Immediately alter: llux from 25th to 
last of mont h : all put In in tho best condition 
and looking finely now. Grass suffering some 
for want of rain. Cherry trees in bloom. Apple 
blos-orns beginning to show. Forest trees In 
half leaf. Hay plenty, $10012 per ton, m. $15® 
18 last year. Corn meal $26 per ton—$15 last 
year; wheal. $1.25; oats, 42®50c.: butter, 23® 
27c. Cheese factories starting some later than 
usual this year. Corn planting done during the 
past, two weeks. Prospects all look favorable 
for tho farmer hero except perhaps tho hay, 
which will be light without we have rain soon. 
A good place to get a first class farm fora mod¬ 
erate price.—w. p. 
Salem, Honnoko Co., Vn,; Mny 20. Ourcarly 
spring was windy, with irequent and heavy 
rains, bringing forward vegetation very rapidly. 
We aro now suffering from the other extreme— 
a drouth—having had no rain for twenty-eight 
days. Wheat which has been looking Uuciy 
and promising a splendid harvest, Is now suffer¬ 
ing much. The yield of grass must be light; 
heavy frosts have destroyed pretty much all 
fruits except apples, in tills section. We admire 
your manly arraignment, of that, huyc humbuy— 
“ The Centennial scheme.” Continue to thrust 
sore at the beast, and spare not. If for want of 
Government support it perish, then lot it perish. 
So mote It be.—p. n. J. 
Wellington Co., Ontario, Mny 25.—Season 
very backward; no seeding done till first of 
May, nnd as our staple crop Is spring grain, 
things had to be done in a hurry, so that fortbe 
last threo weeks men and teams were kept 
busy; tho weal her being fine and cool for teams 
at hard work. With very few exceptions seed¬ 
ing and planting is done and nut much Inter 
than the average. Trees are only coming out 
in leaf. Wheat, $1.25 perbushel; oats 55c.; po¬ 
tatoes, 90c.; peas, 70.; hay, $15020 per ton, and 
scarce : meadows are very promising.— c. .1. M. 
Hand fcprlng, Delaware Co., Iowa, May 16. 
—Wo had a very mild winter, thermometer on 
coldest day 18° below zero. Good sleighing for 
about six weeks; snow not very deep; spring 
quite late but dry; some wheat sown the first 
week in April. Too much frost in the ground 
to admit plowing till the 20th of April; first 
gorn planted the Oth of May ; corn principally 
planted now. Wheat, $1.15; corn, 55c.; oats,45c.; 
butter, 25c.; eggs, 10c.; tiogs, live, $4.7505; 
cheese factory at Sand Spring opened April 
10; cheese 14c. wholesale, 18c. retail.—R. w. c. 
Clark, Mercer Co., Pa., Slay 30.—Crops 
look well; if no frost comes we shall have 
abundance of fruit. Farmers have no grain to 
sell and no money (hardly) on account of pros¬ 
tration of the iron hustneSs. Corn, 65c.; oats, 
65c.; wheat, $1.50.—8. C. Kooner.
