The ’Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday, May 10th, 1895. A Good Outlook for Farmers. . . 5 Within the past week or so we have heard at least a dozen farmers say they never, in all their experience, saw a more favorable spring than the present, and one of them, an old resident of Fenelon, said- that there was grass on his land which had grown six inches in two days by actual measurement. Spring set in late, but there was a long spell of exactly the right kind of weather for ploughing and seeding, and, just when they were needed, came abundant show- ers of rain, accompanied by an unusual degree of heat for so early in the season, and the result is that vegetation is as far advanced as it generally is by the end, or nearly the end, of May. Up to date, therefore, farmers are almost as well pleased as if they had had the ordering of events, and some have ex- presscd the fear that the outlook is too bright to last, and ruef'ully remark that such fine weather so early in the year is generally followed by June frost; but let us hope that this year will prove an exception to the ruleâ€"if rule it really be, which we are strongly inclined to doubt. But, apart from the crop pros- pect for the present year, there is en- couragement in the general outlook. for wheat is steadily on the rise, and, though it may never again reach a dollar a bushel, it is not likely to fallâ€"at any rate for some considerable timeâ€"to the wretched price it sold at a few months mm. In addition there is a scarcityâ€"â€" taking the continent overâ€"of horned cattle, and not only beef but other kinds of meat will be somewhat dearer than CLARK & SON.
