was much farming all the way. The e
is an old Indian at Oak River, who h e
a good lot of crop in ; he has simme re 1
fine peas and potaioes. Peas do re 1
well here, but very few were sokvn. M.
Hannah and I drove out to riswo:
and lost the trail. We passe sever
half-breed farms on our way tip ; th y E`
have a good deal of breaking done, bt t:
very little in crop. The first placee
stopped at was a Mr. Camerdn's. e
has 100 aures in wheat and 15a in oat ;
about the half is good, the ret is b t
very middling. He had: soma Iudi n .
corn planted, but it..won't ripen. I ha e,
not- seen any corn that will.00me o,
maturity in this country. He have a,
large stock of Berkshire pigs nd •so e
good cows, a very good huse, a d
underground stables with the 'grana y
built on top. He and- his son own o• e
