January 27	1876			Harrison Township is still increasing her dairy business. Last year was taxed with 856 cows, this year with910. The farmers of that township always raise something that is in demand as fait prices. Bingham is next to Harrison in the dairy business, having assessed 705 cows as against 663 last year. When all the townships do as well as Bingham, this will be a prosperous county.

May 19	1876			Crops are looking well and grass never looked better and insures a heavy crop of hay. As evidence of thrift among farmers, I notice many new barns being built, while others are making additions to those already built. Among those building large barns are J. Chrisman and Sons, on the line of Bingham and Harrison; S Lewis on the North Fork; James Latta, north of Lawrence Mills; C. W. Cornish, on the State Road, Mr. Cornish has built a new horse barn. Benj. Johnson, on the road to Ulysses, is also having a fine horse barn built, and his neighbor, Henry Ellis, is building a good barn. A. E. Martin is building an addition, 30 by 40 ft. to his barn. Many others are making improvements by cleaning and fencing and getting their farms in condition to add more cows to their stock. For all admit, even at present butter and cheese prices, that dairying pays better than raising grain, and always brings ready money at some price. The cheese factory at this place and the one near White’s Corners are both in operation. Go where I will among farmers, I find that those who have been industrious and careful not to run in debt for things not really needed are doing well and have little to say about hard times. The ones croaking about hard times are those who have been living beyond their means and have bought too many things they might have gotten along without, and gave their noted and are now being forced to pay the same.
