O" THE OUTLOOK. The harvest is about over, and an â- estimate of the jield of the various farm products can now be made with reasonable correctness. We learn from the reports given through various sources, that the yield is far short of what was antici- pated two months ago. The almost universal and continued drought over this continent has had a serious effect, and whUe the farmers in this county gfQ moie or less inclined to complain owing to their sanguine prospects be* ing to some extent blighted, we can say, from authentic reports from the various districts in Canada and the United States, that on the whole, w? â- -Ao not know of a county which shows -aSjgood general returns as Grey. While it is not well to be elated at the expence of others, it is certainly a just cause for gratitude, and of con- tentment aa^ encouragement, that the seasons operations are so favora- ble with us, aud it becomes the duty of every iadividual to make the very best of bis circumstances. The hay crop in this county was one of the most abundant and well saved in its history, while this crop was a failure in many parts, and besides, stock had to be fed bay during July owing to the pastures being dried up. This will have the effect of making a market for all our surr)las iiay at good prices, and as hay can be pressed at small corit, the dificalty f of tue shipment to distant parts is over- come. Then the dairy iutersts are bogming. The make of butter and cheese up to the middle- '^f July was something enoriiious, .d now that showery weather has net in we may look for fair returns for the balance of the season, aqd in order to increase the flow of milk, bran or other food should be liberally fed in order to make up for the want of nutritious grass, until the efiecto of the drought is over. The price of butter and cheese is very high and still advancing, of OB tiwf Tha i^brk Itm lodmpUted anew Cbe «UBp«tedSKoirauig,lQto on fk^Uudkjr •fbartioon. bcfom noiaee irf-t^ ftfjiine? tion was feirvad on the eratEaotori, and it is «Mparted that kieservioe has not yet biaen efboted. â€" Hon.S.
