Crops and pastures have suffered very much by drouth cutting them short. There had been bat little rain since the spring rains until tue 23d and 26th mat, when we had Sne rains, breaking the drouth and potting out the forest fires. There wa? much damage done by the fires. More across the state line in Michigan than in thw + section of Wisconsin. . Mr. Letter has fine corn and a good garden. He kept up cultivation during the dry weather and the late rains have made everything look fine, showing that cultivation, if the sun does shine hot, is better than waiting for the rain. It brings better results anyway when it doe? rain. Mr. Lefler and wife are well. _ MARY E. LOWE. The stalks of clover sent measured three feet and six in length, and is as fine as one ever saw.
