Messrs. Henry & Crall, Hardware Merchants, had in operation one of their Hydraulic Rams, which elicited much interest. This is an excellent article, every farm-house and barn yard in the county, having a small stream of water with a few feet fall, can be supplied with a constant stream of water, by application of this machine.

WOOD COUNTY.

BY ELIJAH HUNTINGTON.

1. PRINCIPAL CROPS.-Wheat, Corn, Hay, Oats, Potatoes, Buckwheat and Rye.

2. WHEAT. Average usual crop of wheat 15 bushels per acre; this year 22 bushels; most subject to injury from the Hessian fly. Liming the soil has been found the most efficient remedy. The aggregate amount produced in the county, this year, cannot be less than 100,000 bushels. The most approved kinds are, the white blue stem, the old blue stem, and the Mediterranean.

3. CORN.-Usual average crop 36 bushels. yielding an average of 48 bushels per acre.

This year's crop good,
Crops of corn have

generally been mostly used at home for feeding hogs, cattle, horses, &c. One-tenth part may, perhaps, have been shipped from Perrysburgh. Price, at this time, 31 cents per bushel; 33 cents would, probably, be about an average price. Last May and June there was quite a demand for it, and it rose gradually from 371 to 48, and finally to 50 cents.

4. OATS.-Usual average yield 28 bushels per acre. This year's crop good, yielding an average of 38 or 40 bushels per acre. The crop is not usually liable to injury from any particular cause.

5. RYE.-Usual product per acre 20 bushels, but not much cultivated. Price from 40 to 50 cents per bushel. Barley cultivated but

very little if any.

6. GRASS AND HAY.-Usual average yield one and a half tons per acre; that of the present season but little over one ton per acre, having been considerably shortened by drouth. The best yields are from clayey soils with a rolling surface. The usual price, delivered at Perrysburg, is from six to seven dollars per ton; it is now worth eight dollars.

7. ROOT CROPS.-Usual average yield of potatoes 100 bushels per acre. This year's crop good; early planted potatoes were injured by the drouth. Sandy soil yields better than the clayey, and the potato not so liable to the rot. The neshanocks are the best flavored but most liable to rot; the long reds afford the best yield. Planting on sandy soil without manure is found best adapted to a healthy growth. Early digging, and a small mixture of lime when stored away or buried, have been found the best means to prevent disease. Turnips, carrots, and field beets are grown to some extent, but (not?) much used to feed cattle.

8. FRUIT.-Peaches and apples have been cultivated to a considerable extent, and in a majority of the townships are plenty; the nine townships furnish a large surplus, sufficient to supply the more recently settled parts of the county. It has not yet become much of an article of export beyond the limits of the county. Considerable pains have been taken to cultivate the best kinds of pears, and quinces are also cultivated to a considerable extent. The climate is a favorable one for the cultivation of good fruit,

40-AG. REP.

9. SEEDS.-Timothy yields four bushels per acre, clover from four to five. Timothy generally sells for 75 cents to $1, and clover for $2 75 to $3. Flaxseed can be cultivated to advantage, but farmers have paid but little attention to it.

10. OTHER CROPS.-Usual aggregate yield of field beans from 25 to 30 bushels per acre, worth 75 cents per bushel, not cultivated to any great extent; broom corn is cultivated by farmers for their own use, but not as an article of manufacture; tobacco, castor beans, hops, mustard seed, madder, flax, and mint oil but little cultivated. Hemp is grown on one farm and manufactured into ropes, but I am not able to state the yield per acre or profits.

11. DAIRY PRODUCTS.-Cheese is not manufactured for export. The amount of butter exported would probably exceed twenty tons, average value ten cents per pound. No marked increase of this business of late nor improvement in the quality or process of manufacturing butter or cheese. No particular preference has been had for any one breed of cows for dairies. The average product of butter per year probably 150 pounds.

12. SHEEP AND WOOL.-Number of taxable sheep 7,667, producing, upon an average, 2 pounds wool per head, 17,672 pounds; general quality of the wool middling. The increase in the number of sheep has, for the last five years, been gradual, with a general disposition to improve in the character of flocks. About a quarter blooded merino prefered for the reason that the wool is sufficiently fine for cloth of common wear, and better adapted to the carding machines in this part of the country.

13. PORK.-Supposed aggregate product of pork 450 tons; value $2 25 per cwt.; mostly slaughtered at home. The quality of the hog stock is rather improving.

14. BEEF.-From 900 to 1,000 head of beef cattle are annually raised in the county, partly exported and partly slaughtered; aggregate value of each at 4 years $18. There has been some improvement of late in the breed of cattle by importation from abroad. The roan Durham is preferred for large growth and appearance.

15. HORSES AND MULES.-From 400 to 500 horses are annually produced. Some improvement of late has been made in horses, but

not of a very marked character. There is considerable difference of opinion as to the best kind. Many prefer the Chester Ball of a light bay color with a white stripe in the face, and above the common size. Average value at four years old fifty-five dollars.

16. IMPLEMENTS.-No new improvements worth naming.

17. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.-No experiments made in the renovation or enrichment of soils. Considerable efforts are made in draining wet lands; cost various, according to the depth, length, and capacity of the ditches.

18. MINERALS.-None.

19.-MILLS.-During the last two years there has been some increase in the number of mills, and there is a prospect that a considerable greater increase will take place in mills and manufactories next year.

20. The amount collected from license to public shows, for the State Agricultural fund is ten dollars.

WYANDOT COUNTY.

BY F. R. PALMER.

1. PRINCIPAL CROPS.-Pork, Wheat, Corn, Cattle, Sheep and Wool, Potatoes, Oats, Fruit, principally apples.

2. WHEAT.-Average about 18 bushels-51 has been raised this season on an acre-injured by the red weevil, but escaped this year. Generally failures arise from shallow plowing and late sowing. Remedy, thorough plowing and draining. This year's crop probably 100,000 bushels.

3. CORN.-Usual average, about 35 bushels per acre-present crop good-generally fed in the county to cattle, sheep and hogs-common price, 25 cents per bushel.

4. OATS. 30 bushels, present crop, an average. The objection to this crop is, that it often falls before cutting, much of the land
