RURAL SPECIAL REPORTS. 
Arkansas, 
Dayton, Sebastian Co., Feb. 12. Weather 
mild and warm. Farmers sowing oats and 
planting potatoes. Wheat looking green and 
splendid, 1 think this the most beautiful and 
healthful climate iu the Southern States, with 
a productive soil, good markets, and cheap 
lands: land worth $1 2T> to $5 for “unimprov¬ 
ed,” and from 6-1 to 615 for “improved.” 
Room yet for thousands of good homes to lte 
taken under the Homestead L ws. Chief 
farm products hereabouts, cotton, corn, wheat, 
oatB, barley, rye and millet: fruits, anil veg¬ 
etables also do splendidly. Cora is worth 
§1,25 per bushel; oats, 75c.; wheat, §1,50; 
pork dressed, 7e. to He, per pound; sweet 
potatoes, §2.25 per bush.; Irish potatoes, 
§3, per bush.; eggs, 20c, per doz,; butter, 25c. 
@35e. per pound; hay, §15, per ton. Laborers 
wages from 75c. to §1 per day, with plenty of 
work. G. w. r. 
Californio. 
Bikuer, Lasson Co., Feb, 18.—Last season 
crops were good—the heaviest ever harvested 
in this section. Vegetables do well with irri¬ 
gation. Wheat is selling for §1 percental; 
barley, §1.25; oats the same; not much corn 
raised—climate too cold; altitude 3,500 feet 
above sea level. Potatoes §1.50 per 100 pounds; 
butter, 37;oc. per pound; eggs, 25c. per doz.: 
dressed beef, 5f#> *. per pound; pork, 6(<g8c.; 
wild grass hay, §5@(1 per ton; wheat and bar¬ 
ley hay, §10. Small fruits do well here: not 
many fruit trees planted, There is plenty of 
Government laud vacant iu this county. 
We have had rather a cold Winter; heaviest 
snowfall, 15 inches. K. M, u. 
Fresno, Fresno Co., Feb. 10th.—We are in 
the midst of a dry Winter, the plains are as bare 
and the road as dusty as in mid-summer. The 
area planted to wheat and hurley iu this section 
is greater than that of last year, some of it is 
over the ground just enough to be seen. We 
have had the longest spell of freezing weather 
ever seen in the Joachin Valley. A hard crust 
forms on the ground every night. There will 
be about 2,000 acres planted to grape-vines 
this Spring in the irrigated belt. s. H. H. 
Illinois. 
Altamont, Effingham Co., Feb. 13.—Since 
the 1st inst. we have had remarkably fine 
Winter weather. Comparatively speaking, 
wheat in this county looks fine, particularly 
that which was sown previous to September 
25. Considering quality and quantity of feed 
owing to the continued drought of last Sumi 
mer, the stock looks quite well. Soil very 
compact for the want of hard freezing, and 
we anticipate tough plowing. Last year the 
reverse was the case. Our county is about on 
the dividing line between the great “ corn¬ 
raising” region of Illinois, north of us, and the 
“ wheat-raising” region of Egypt iu Southern 
Illinois. When fully developed it will afford 
fine, comfortable country homes, L. s. 
East Spuingport, Jackson Co., Feb. 20.— 
Fine weather, like May; robins singing. Wheat 
looks well; a large acreage sown. h. w. n. 
Kingston, DeKalb Co., Feb. 21. — Our 
Winter has beeu exceedingly mild—few cold 
snaps, short ones. This month has been al¬ 
most too bright; we may pay for it in 
March. Everything plenty here for the 
workers. B * B * A * 
Virden, Macoupin Co., Feb. 21.—Winter 
wheat very spotted; a great amount of seed 
rotted iu the ground last Fall; some good on 
well-drained land. Hundreds of acres will be 
plowed up for Spring crops. Millions of live 
chinch bugs are housed up in corn husks and 
other places of protection. Cora not. all busk 
ed, it being almost impossible for a team to 
get into the fields. Corn down and badly 
damaged. Prospect good for a large acreage 
of oats and corn. J. T. A. 
Iowa. 
Cherokee, Cherokee Co., Feb. 20.—Wild 
land hereabouts can be bought for from §8 to 
§12 per acre; improved farms at §12 to §25 
per acre. Hogs, §0 to §10; cattle, §4(tf§5 per 
hundred; wheat, §1.10; oats, 32(u35c.; corn, 
42c.; flax, 'JOc. & §1; butter, 18c.; eggs, 
15c. k. E. \V. 
Viola, Linn Co., Feb, 20. Winter very 
mild: hardly any frost iu the ground. Usually 
our Winters are cold and steru, so that it is 
hard to realize we are in Iowa during these 
warm, kindly days. d. C. w. 
Kansas. 
Bunker Hill, Russell Co., Feb. 14.—A 
splendid Winter so far. Stockmen all feel 
happy on account of no feeding of hay or 
straw, as the cattle ranging on Buffalo Grass 
look well. Winter wheat growing nicely; if 
not injured by alternate freezing and thawing 
this month aud next, Kansas will come out 
with a big wheat crop this year. Farmers are 
sowing Spring wheat and plowing for oats; 
wheat sowed ten days ago iscomiugup.A.w.s. 
Fontana, Miami Co., Feb. 22.—A very 
heavy sleet storm, lasting 30 hours, has dam¬ 
aged the fruit trees a great deal, and the for¬ 
est trees are greatly broken dow n under their 
heavy loads. Telegraph wires have also beeu 
greatly damaged, and 50 or 00 miles farther 
south the storm was still heavier. Some had 
begun making garden and sowing oats, but 
now they have come to a standstill, for the 
ground is covered with ice. w. P. 
Washington, Washington Co., Feb. 10.— 
Cora and wheat were not half average crops. 
Oats good. Potatoes not enough to supply 
home demand. No corn to spare. Hogs have 
done well; nearly all sold at §4.75 to §5.50 per 
100 pounds. Cattle are wintering well. Hay 
plentiful and cheap around here. s. G. B. 
Yates Center, Woodson Co., Feb. 17.— 
Kansas farmers are busy plowing and will 
commence sowing oats next week. F. w. 
Minnesota. 
Howard Lake, W right Co., Feb. 10.— 
Snow enough just fallen for a few days’ sleigh¬ 
ing, but mild temperature as usual. Roads 
have been p-rfeot since Dec. 1, 1881; yet there 
is dissatisfaction which comes of no sledding 
to help farmers to gather thiir winter har¬ 
vest. Portable saw-mills have to lie idle 
much of the time, and many other troubles 
arise from the same cause—this, after an 
Autumn of unprecedented floods of rain. 
No severe weather this Winter, but much 
of the time delightfully pleasant sun¬ 
shine. 8 * A * 
Rockford, Wright Co., Feb. 14. A very 
open Winter so fur. No sleighing yet; rouds 
dry and dusty. Some days as warm as in 
May. E- K> 
New York. 
Wyoming, Wyoming Co., Feb. 18.—We 
have had a very open Winter thus far; there 
has been but very little snow and no sleigh¬ 
ing worth naming. V\ boat has had a tough 
time of it aud a great many pieces are about 
used up now. It is evident that the next crop 
will be a short one in this section. This is a 
bean country, and there are a great many go¬ 
ing to be planted iu the Spring. They are §4 
here at present. Beans are a very exhaustive 
crop and people have found that it requires 
g 0 od land to raise even white beans, w. s.'F
