good promise of being 'a `splendid crop.
Generally during the latter part of this

with respect to wheat, being liable to be
injured by a freezing out process; .but.
this year, so far, it has escaped injury and
now looks well. The spring is apparent-
ly
pparent-
lyopeningearly, and ample time will be
given for putting in a large breadth 'of.
crop. There is no sno}v. on the fields, and
only a little in drifts on the road sides.
Taken altogether the spring opens as
favorably for farming operations as could;
be•ivelldesired. Horses,cattle 'andsheep

been abundant.
