Mr Kditor: 'Ike recent rain*
has caused tho river to overflow |
all the low Ian.I*. Some fear is J
entertained that the grain crop
may ho injured to some extent l>y
the heavy raina. Now come the
beautiful snow. It in claimed by
those who know to be the largest
in years.
On looking over some old books
some time ago. I came across an
old agricultural book published
in 1854, giving an account of the
number of bushels of wheat sown'
in neh state. I noticed that
Ohio sewed from I t to 2 bushslk
per acre. The crop nt that time
ATornged from dO to do bushels
per nee. The reason I refer to
Ohio is, I met a gentleman some
time ago from that State who informed
in* the ATsrsge crop now
was trotn df> to |a hushcls per
acre. Tln?y use drill plows which
plant* tli* grain shout four inches
apart in rows, I think tho grain i
doss much better planted this

A business man of Philadelphia
told me the other day that Mr

Philadelphia store last year were
over $1,750,000, and that those i
from his New York sto?-e would
run close to that figure. The
Saturday before Christmas the
receipts ir New York were even
greater than thoso in Philadelphia
and exceeded $500,000. The
New York store paid a profit from
the rerr day tnat it was opened,
although two firms which occupied
the establishment eince A T
