The latest game to;swindle farmers is played by a man claiming to represent a large provison house in Chicago, such a firm being anxious to learn of farmers their opinion of the harvested crop. This takes with the honest tiller of the soil, and he proceeds to answer the question propounded. The sharper notes dew n the answer carefully, and when he is through he has the farmer sign the report to give it weight. This accomplished, the man leaves, and later a note turns up in tin hands of the inBmoent purchaser. The only safe way is to sign nothing for a stranger.

I BOP NOTES. Wheat sow lug is progression rapuli'. There is no doubt that Indiana will be the banner State in the Union this year for crops. The opinion is becoming general amon^ farmers that wheat culture is uo rouger profitable as a erop tor the markets, and they are beginning to devote more attention to clover, timothy, oats, fruit and stock. The Boonvitle Enquirer says that \\ arrick county farmers are rapidly finding out that home is better than Kansas, or any other State, and that Indiana gives them better crops and more money for them. Some farmers who have gone West from this county have also -tound out the same. Thefhwt here injured the tobacco crops in this county so that it will fail short one-fourth of a full crop, and in Dubois, Berry, Spencer and Warrick counties the rcceut cold weather killed from a fourth to a third of the tobsiceo up there. This is very unfortunate, coming on the facets of last season's dull market.
