The charge is $25' a year for farmers but I hope the farm- ers in Huron will get it far cheaper than that, The crops in Algoma this year were very light, on account of such a dry June. Potato crop was very good from 300 to 400 bushels to the acre. The first snow fell on the 12th of October but melted the next day. Potato fops were green up to the middle of October. Our plowing match came e off the of UCtOh ' el. There is very Iittle frost in the r now, and abnut8inches of snow. 01e get no cold blizzards or dangerous storms here. Lumbering is brisk, plenty of wolkand good wages. The. saw mill here is in good shape, capable of cutting 100 feet a minute with one saw, driven by the best water power in Ontario.
