SHELBY COUNTY.

Shelby County is in the central portion of the Stofe, and its northwest corner comes willen n few miles of the State Capitol. It is one of the wealthiest counties in Indiann, nud maks as third in point of agricultural inlue. In 1875, the Sime Board of Equalization assessed its taxable land al $34.2 per acre, und there being 255,525 seres returned, as such their inmue umouuled to $2,761,972. The improvements thereon amounted lo $826,060. The number of town lois in the county is 2,247; these, with Their improvements, were assessed nt $1,083,350, and the personal properly was returned af :1,940, 725, in all innking a total tax value of $13, 502,707 The largest low'n in the county is the county seal, containing a population of about four thousand ; hence the wealth of Shelby County is mainly due to the nnlive fertility of the soil, and the high state of cultivation il has olinined. As nu indication of this latter, the roads leading to all parts of the county may he ented. There is hardly a highway in the entire county nol graded und grareleil, and not a road lending into the county seal Ibni is not in this condition nol kept in good repair. Consequently the formers enn bring their produce lo marker at all seasons of the year, and often use a lime for such work when little else could be done.

The soil is the allurium of river beds and soud, with n slight mixture of eloy. On the uplands this Intier preinils lo n considerable degree, oud re- quires under ]ruining to tanke it equnl in value to the soil of the bolivros, or Ilini bonlering on the water courses. This is irell understood by the majority of the formers nnd file draining is extensively junelieril Tins svil is more pro- ductive of fruit Than any other, especially apfiles. The more leikler i arielles do helter where sandstone exists, and where ridgry proleet auch fruits from cold blasts aud "cold suaps," and the sinaller rerieties of berries ale grown, and yield profitoble rriuros.

TIMBER.

The conply, before the advent of the white mon, was corered with n grand grurth of forest trees, and isas the "hunting groundl" of the Delaware Tribe of Indiana. These found plenty of gmue in The foresty abd tu ofmindlance of fish in the sirvanis. Poplar, onk, hickory, wolont, beech and sugar free grew, in all their unire majesty, muud when the first

The majority of the walnut has been ent off in supply the dr. mnods of that tenie, mul but little of that kind of timber remains. Poplor, hickory mul ush ore plenty, and me beginning to be used in the mountir- ture of Mirnilure, Hickory is used mainly in thr manufacture of wagony und marringes,

Where the milrond eresses this creek, the sine is quarried und side tracks linve hiren exteuilvil up the creek to St. I'mul, and down the same stresin some distance mio the county. This stube is extensively used inthe cities ju ereeling large buildinga, und, as the mihvny is extended down Fiul Rock freek, Transportation is improveil and business increased.
