Here is a lesson that the farmers should

has killed wheat and com seed by put

This reminds ui of former days in
Union, when the cows could he seen grazing
peacefully along the streets of Union,
cropping off the luscious crab grass that

grunted contentedly in their wallows
about town, while a large port ion of our
male population wore busily engaged in
tlieir occupations; viz., whittling' whistling
and waiting for "something to turn
up." We can now hardly realize that

Our corn crop is very short, cotton
about one-third of a crop. The stalk is
growing and putting on shapes and lieginning
to bloom, and if it keeps warm
and the showers continue for six or
eight weeks we will gather a second crop
of tlie staple, so mote it lie. Some gardens
