In this vicinity are large bodies of white oak lbs., per acre. Thrashers are now at work on clover seed, but there are many fields that will make another crop of hay in a few weeks more. The beautiful green clover and the delightful fragrance from the blossoms has to be seen and enjoyed to be appreciated. The wheat crop has been good for this sea- son. Summer-fallowing is in general favor here, lands so treated yielding from 30 to 40 bushels, when winter sown yields but 15 to 25. The gale of last spring did serious dam- age to wheat, consequently many are looking for a variety that will ripen after the high winds cease. Proper wheat has been a favor- ite seed, but its ripening too early makes it objectionable. Club seems to be the choice of many for next season. Last week I saw on the farm of J. Fowler a fine sight of 70 acres of corn of different Hogs are kept on it the year round, and a drove of 100 is a common sight. In this vicinity there are between 2,000 and 3,000 acres of clover. It makes an excellent article of hay
