The Grain Crops. The grain acreage thin year was a little is than ip I11U7, anti the )'leld is twenty to twenty-five per cent, better than last year. Thei average yields may be stated about as follows ; Wheat, 20 to 25 bushels per acre ; oats, 50 bushels ; barley, 40 to 43 bushels ; peas, 20 bushels. Prices are not quite so good es lett year, but as .the farmers had little grain to market last year' the high prices of 11107 did not )iogle very loudly In the hamlet's pocket. Prices this fall have been very satisfactory. Wheat has brought 90c. a bushel ; oats, :vie. ; barley, We,' to Mc., and peas, Mc. Theta was not so large an acreage of hay this year.

Dairying. • Prices for dairy products are high and those who are giving their atten- tion to this .feature of tarutwurk find the conditions of the last few years -ex- ceptionally good. This fall pastures have suffered from the dry weather, but on the whole dairying has had a very prosperous season. A large amount of butter is manufactured at Dungannon, and the town of (ioderich always affords a good market for private butter -makers. the aexson Fne)nea to is favorable for a heavy crop. but a slight frost in June injuied the pros- pects and the yield .wax nut much better than last year and o'ut up to the average of former years. A good deal of buckwheat was sown atound'here this year and it 'turned not well. it is a very useful crop for fattening purposes. It wan an exceptionally favorable season, for corn, and an there was a huge wage sown the 'yield was a sph taiid e.

Farmers got about $La) a barrel in the orchard for goal apples. Pears were a good crop. Small fruits of nearly all kinds gave an exeeotionally good yield. The Fall Work. The dry weather greatly retarded the fall plowing. but nntwithrtanding this the fall won k is well advanced, As one elan reports. the farmers got their other work done in extra good shape while they were unable to go on the land, and during the -last two or three weeks they have been hard at the plowing. so that they are now really farther ahead than usual. One drawback in the outlook is the unsatisfactory condition of the fall wheat. The acieage sown is tmtch below the average. This. Inc. is the result of the dry weather of fhe fall.
