January Crop Report.
For this report returns have been received from 622 correspondents, representing 481 townships. Four hundred
and forty-eight of these reports are
from 320 townships in the southern four
tiers of counties, and 96 reports are
from 86 townships in the central counties.
Wheat was injured very little if at
all during December. About one-fourth
of the correspondents in the southern
section of the state express the belief
that some injury has occurred, but this
belief evidently is based on the fact
that the ground was practically bare of
snow all the month rather than on the
appearance of the plant. About three-
fourths report no injury. In the central and northern counties about one-
third of the correspondents report injury, and the remainder no injury.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in December is 1,858,692. Of this amount
432,537 bnshels were marketed in the
first or southern tier of counties; 32S,-
012 bushels in the second tier; 334,673
bashels in the third tier; 527,4S4 bushels in the fourth tier; 221,340 bushels
in the fifth and sixth tiers, and 14,646
bushels in the northern counties. At
28 elevators and mills from which reports have been received there was no
wheat marketed during the month.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in August, September, October, November and December
is 8,S69,547, which-is 1,139,275 bushels
more than reported marked in the same
months last year.
The average price of wheat Jan 1,
1892, at the tissual place of marketing
by fjivffiers was 88 cents per bushel, of
corn 49 oents and of oats 33 cents, and
the average price Df hay was S10.90 per
ton,
Tho average price of fat cattle was
$2.94 per cwt., of fat hogs, S3.8S, and of
dressed pork §4.4S.
The average price of each class of
horses was as follows: Under one year
old, §32.14; between one and two years
old, $51.46; between two and three
years old, S74.35; three years old and
over, §101.17.
Milch cows were worth 524.83 per
head. Cattle other than milch cows
under one year old, were worth per
head, §7,11; between one and two years
old, S12.05; between two and three,
S19.52; and three years old and over,'
§26.56.
The average price of sheep under one
year old was §2.47, and one year old and
over, S3.17; and hogs under one year
old were worth §3.81, and one year old
and over, S7.10.
The prices as here given are for the
state, and, except for milch cows, fat
cattle and cattle other than milch cows,
are higher than the average prices in
the southern counties. The average
price of milch cows in the state is §1.21,
aud the several classes of cattle other
than milch cows range from 44 cents to
§1.16 lower in the state than in the
southern counties.
Compared with, one yerp r..jo ■star.e is.

oats 11 cents per
bushel. There is also a decline in the
price of each class of horses, df milch
cows and of sheep, while hay, fat cattle, fat hogs, dressed pork, each class
of cattle other tli'ui milch cows, and
hogs, are higher now than one. ve-*,?-

Always qosn'sbio,   A few thrifty ferns,
flowering plants or evergreens add a
great deal to tne brightness and beauty
of any room, but particularly in the
dining-room.   Have them there if you
possibly can.
Burning Rubbish.
The dining-room, writes Maria
Parloa in her domestic department in
the February Ladies1 Homo Journal,
should be light and sunny. The most
essential pieces of furniture are. a table
of generous width, capable of being
enlarged, comfottablo chairs and a
sideboard. After that, if t]\e yppm he
Uj(-g8 epaitgi*. ana \\w pui'se will admit
of the purchase of a cabinet or two, with
glass fronts aud sides, so much the better. In these there cau be kept dainty
bits of china and glassware. These
cabinets will brighten a dining-room
more thau anything elso you can put
into it, possibly excepting pictures. If
there be no room for a cabinet,  a eor-
temperature in the past sixteen Decembers, 37.2 degrees, occurred in 1877,and
the lowert 17.2 degrees, in 1876.
The average percipitation for December was 2.14 inches, or .44 inches less
than the average of the past sixteen
year. The deficiency in the southern
two tiers of counties was .57 of an inch.
There was a deficiency at every station
in these counties except two, Bell
Branch and Vandalia. About four
inches of snow fell in the southern and
central co unties during the month. On
the loth of the month there was scarcely any snow on the ground, and on the
31st none at all. The average precipitation in the southern four tiers of
counties during the month was 1.74
inches.
•There were three principal storms
passed over the state in December.
The first occurred on the 3d, 4th and
5th in the northern counties,, and on
the 3d, and 4th, and 6th, and 7th, in
the central and southern counties. The
second occurred on the 14th to 17th,
inclusive, in the nortern counties, aid
on the 14th and 15th in the central and
southern; and the third occurred mainly on the 22d throughout the state,
though there was light precipitation
nearly every day from the 22d to the
end of the month.
The largest amount of preeipitatiou
at any one station was 4.63 inches at
Fremont.   The largest amount at any

The largest amount of precipitation in
the past sixteen Decembers 4.85 inches,
occurred 1SS4, and the least 1.41 inches,
in 1890.
The total amount of precipitation
during the year 1891, was 30.65. inches,
a deficiency of 4.20 inches compared
with a fifteen year normal. The deficiency in the sections was as follows:
Upper Peninsula, 3.94 inches, northern i
counties, 1.81 inches, central counties-
and north two tiers of the southern 1.60
inches, and in the south two tiers o'-
the southern section 2.66 inches, lt
will be noticed that the deficiency for
the state is greater than for any one of
the sections. This is because the record for many of the stations is for a
less number of years than for the state.
