Fresh FtTTS.—At length the pouch trade begins 
to look a little favorable for growers . they have had 
to count losses on nearly all shipments since the 
season opened, but now with dry fruit and desirable 
shipping sorts offering, including solid old M**xohh 
and Muilocotons, which will mature in crates, prices 
lire stronger und the Improved qualities call out a 
larger local business. Wo have boon receiving them 
at the rate of over 75,IX0 baskets. Many of these 
that would miss sale a day would have to go Lo the 
dllliipIliK ground. It Is nut likely tliut after the un¬ 
fortunate experience of this season that so much 
attention will he devoted to the unattractive early 
varieties. Indeed, wo leurn that Maryland punch 
farmers tn some sections intend to throw their en¬ 
tire orchards into grain. There is a good supply of 
other summer fruit, hut it is impossible to get up a 
steady demand for anything outside of u few fancy 
items, owing to the. ubundunoe pf ponchos. Water¬ 
melons very tow ; musk melons slow; many South¬

Fulton Station, Ky., July 19.—We have had 
fine weather for ten days past. Wheat not In¬ 
jured to the extent supposed, a great deal of It 
drying out entirely ttuinjured. Corn and to¬ 
bacco still promise finely. Cotton is injured to 
some extent by the rains which caused the oivr- 
l'est sq uares to fall. Farm hands receive from 
$8 to $12 per month, with board ; 50,000 bushels 
of wheat will be sold at this place at $1 per 
bushel.—P, p. H. 
Elkton, Todd Co., Ky., Aug. 19.—We have 
had almost constant rains from June until now, 
damaging wheat and oats in the shock; but 
corn will be a fair crop, and tobacco about half 
a crop. Good bands can be hired for $150 per 
year. The potato beetles have been pretty 
thick, but there will be a fair yield. It would 
be to the advantage of those looking for a place 
to settle to visit this section.— k. w. g.

higher figure than dealers will pay. The price has 
already declined $1 F being now $4.25. The 
greater part of the crop will lie held hack from three

It cannot but be thorough and useful. No book 
contains more solid Information upon the sub¬ 
ject in so few words. A complete index enables 
he roader to refer to any branch of butter mak¬ 
ing, and take in the whole subject In a very 
short time. 
Lay it beside, your churn, and apply Us 
useful lessons each day, and your one dollar 
booh will have yielded you fifty dollars before 
the end of the year.
