But when one is a little low in health or strength one is apt to give way too much to gloomy thoughts. I have been of late years rather low in health winters, but as spring draws on I get better. I have no steady help now. most of the time I have some one with me. I have still as much as 500 bushels of corn to husk out. I have raised the most corn this year, that I ever raised in one year. The price at present is 22 cents a bushel at Paola -- 10 miles from here. If you deduct the price of gathering (2 1/2 to 3 cts a bushel) and a very moderate charge for drawing it to market, it would leave the home price pretty small too? My corn was mostly cut up and shocked last fall. Some days it is too dry (breaking the fodder) -- as we leave our shocks of corn standing in the field till the corn is gathered Those who are able are holding their corn for a better market,
