THE CORN CROP. BMt Don Wo Danagt to Nebraska*— Kmm* Mot So Larky. Omaha. Neb., Aug. 3.—Copious rain* nave fallen all over Nebraska, putting an end to the hottest period of weather experienced in many years. The grain operators of Kansas City. St. Louis. Chicago, and the east have been wiring the grain men of Nebraska to ascertain the effect of the heat on the corn. Every county has been heard from and not one reports damage. In fact, all return the most flattering reports of the com crop. So much so that the first estimate of 300,000,000 bushels is now raised to 350,000.000 bushels. The heavy, warm winds have blown furiously over the state for the past three days, with the mercury as high as 112 in some localities. The corn has not shown any bad effect. This is due to the great quan- j tity of moisture previously deposited. All the old corn held over from last year through fear of a crop failure this year J is now being released with a rush. Farmers have 140.000,000 bushels of this old grain and cannot get cars fast enough to ret it out. Emporia. Kan.. Aug. 3.—Hot winds in Lyon and adjoining counties have , dried and burned up everything in the way of crops. Corn will not average a bushel to the acre and is unfit for fod- j der. Cattlemen here are desperate, as ! there is no pasture^ and are rushing cattle to market until there are not cars enough to meet the demand. The apple crop, which promised so well, has also < been destroyed within the past few days. Even kaffir corn and cane are ! shriveled up, but the farmers claim ! they will recover with the first rain, j These and alfalfa are about all there is hope for now. Kansas City. Mo.. Aug. 3.—Reports as to the condition of the corn crop in Kansas and western Missouri continue j to be discouraging. Throughout the * district the weather continues scorching hot and nothing but a soaking rain can save the crop.

A REMARKABLE SHOWING. Art*ra*k« In (hr Front Rank aa a \Vhrat-l'rodariaK Staff This year Nebraska has come to the very front rank as a wheat producing' state. with her splendid crop of 35,000,000 bushels of spring wheat, averaging over 22 bushels to the acre, and 5.000.000 bushels of winter wheat, which will a\erage 21 bushels to the acre. The table giveu below, which has been carefully compiled, shows, what will surprise many, that Nebraska stands third among the states as£. wheat producer, and it must be borne in mind that the states that outrank her are almost exclusively wheat states, whereas Nebraska is a country of diversified crops, corn being her principal product.

Chicago. Aug* 3.—A sudden, peaceable and successful strike it as inaugurated and concluded by the men employed in the big stoue quarries at Lemont Monday. A demuud was made for an increase in wages from $1.25 to $1.50 per day—the latter being the wages paid one year ago—and 500 men quit their work until their demand was granted by the companies. At two o’clock in the afternoon the Western Stone company acceded to the demand and the other companies followed suit. Work will be resumed in all the quarries this morning. A strike of the workers in the quarries of the Joliet Limestone company followed that of the workers at Leinont. Following the lea'd of the Western Stone company, the Joliet company also granted the demand of the men for an increase of 25 centa^for a day’s work of ten hours. A FARMER SLAIN. XlsirMlsWonaB Heats Her Mnabaaa to Death. Kedwood Falls, Minn., Aug. 3.—John O’Connell, a well-known farmer pud prominent politician of Westling township, Kedwood county, was murdered between 12 and . one o’clock Saturday morning at his farmhouse. Seven gashes in his scalp by some blunt iron instrument were the immediate cause f of death. After the blows had been in- j dieted O’Connell’s clothing was taturated with kerosene and bis home was set on fire. Statements of three of the j eldest of nine children made to the county authorities are to the effect that : Mrs. O’Connell, wife of the murdered man. was the sole author of the tragedy. His wife’s antipathy to drink was strong and his abuse of her and the children while under its influence may have driven her temporarily insane and caused her to commit the deed. .trw Rate on Corn. Chicago, Aug. 3.—The Illinois Central put into effect Monday its export j rate of ten cents on corn to Xew Orleans. The rate is put into effect in pursuance of the policy of the Illinois Central, which is determined to make Jiew Orleans one of the leading export ports of the country.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS THE CORN HARVEST. t.nbor-Savinic llrvicea Have Made It* tethering; Gnajr. Harvesting the corn crop is being made easier every year by improvements in labor-saving machinery and devices. Large commercial crops are cut, tied and left iu straight rows by the improved corn harvester, while the bundles placed in shocks or stooks of 12 to 20 bundles to cure are then drawn, to the barn and run through the shredder. Farmers who cannot afford the latest and improved machinery, or who Lave small areas of corn, cut by sled as illustrated below., or by hand cutter. The armfuls thus cut have to be tied in bundles, various materials being used for this purpose, some using two or three cornstalks, others a small handful of long, strong straw, swamp grass or willows. But whether cut by improved machinery or by hand cutter. the large bundles, shocks or stooks have to be securely fastened to withstand the fall wind and storms. To make a corn cutter, as portrayed herewith, make a platform with runners six feet long and two inches thick; the higher the runners the higher it

Another stake of the same size, but 20 inches high, on the right side of platform near the edge, and 21 inehes from the front of platform (d). Take a rod of five-eighth-inch iron 67 inches long and weld a piece of flat iron one-half inch thick and ebrht inches long to the end of it. bolt tft flat piece to platform (13 inches from center to back of platform), and bend the rod forward 17 inches above ' the platform, as in e.

The bends in the rod are made in order to bring in the corn and lay it across the platform without the help of a man. In this way the danger of standing over the knife is averted. Nail a small stick something like a lath from top of stake d to the outside runner a few inches ahead of the knife. Bolt the knife to platform alxiut 26 inches from back part of platform with two bolts, and have the knife s'ant back considerably. I put a scrap piece of two-inch plank under the platform at c and h, to make the platform morfr* solid where the large rod and knife were bolted fast. The large rod from g to e should be with bends 50 inches long. Directly across it is 48 inches, thus using two inches for bends. The large rod is outside of stake d about fi ve inches. Hitch on a<}uiet horse, hang the lines on d and ride on rear of platform, and when a large pile of corn is cut and laid across the sled, atop and shock it up.—Farm and Home WOMEN AS FARMERS. Peculiar Scheme to Be iBangarsted b» a Nebraska Woman. Mrs. Hattie X. Bemis, of Arabia, Neb., does not see why women should not be successful as farmers, and announces that she is going to try the experiment if she can get a dozen women to assist her. She owns a large tract of land in northwestern Nebraska which she says she intends to give to 12 deserving widows of northwestern farmers. In return she will require them to cultivate it without man's assistance. She says she will start them out with all the machinery they need, a sufficient supply of cattle, horses, swine and poultry to serve as a nest egg. and money to last them until the tirsi harvest can be disposed of. She admits that the climate is dry, but proposes to instruct her wards in the operation of a system of soil culture by w iiieh method experiments have proved the rainfall of the section is sufficient to insure bountiful crops. The nearest the women will be allowed to come to dealings with men is to sell thecropsi to them. If Mrs. Bemis ever learns that a man has been employed about the premises the farms will revert to htr. Any member of the community who marries will also forfeit her -title to a share in the property.—ChicagChronicle. Mntn taint njc the Standard. Or.e of the causes of the deterioration of flocks of poultry is the practice of sell! tig off the old hens and using pallets. Pullets will probably lay more eggs than w ill hens the first year, but j chicks hatched from eggs laid by pullets are not as strong and vigorous as those produced from eggs laid by hens. It is also less expensive to retain the | hens than to feed the pallets a whole year before they are old enough to lay. Ileus are serviceable until five years old, and sometiides longer, the stock beiug less liable to disease and loss of vigor if cocks 18 months old and hens over two years old are used for breeding purposes instead of pullets that are mated with cockerels.

HIGH-CLASS POULTRY. Wiy the Progressive Farmer Will Italic Ko Other Kla«l. No man has a better chance to keep high-class poultry than the farmer. Be has unlimited range for them, and this is conducive to health and best results in rearing the young. He produces at first cost every necessary food product that goes to keep a flock during the year, and no one who desires to purchase eggs for hatching would ever buy of a breeder who keeps his fowls penned up If he knew where he could get eggs from farm-kept fowls. There is just as good a market for high-class poultry as there is for poultry for market, and the demand is always good for good stock. The farmer who keeps this kind of poultry has two chances to make money. His flock will be profitable as an investment at market prices, and he will make many sales without effort at much above market prices. It is no trouble at all, as the writer knows from experience, to get from 50 cents to one dollar a dozen for eggs from high-class hens during the hatching season.and even at the smaller price there is an immense profit in the business.

With the better care that is always given to good stock comes a greater return in eggs and meat for the feed used, and here is an additional profit on the transaction. There is no excuse in these days that justifies any farmer in allowing his flock of hens to remain mongrels. The man who does this is -‘anding in his own light and do«?s not live up to his opportunities. It does not need fancy houses, elaborate systems of yards nor extraordinary skill in breeding to make a success with fine poultry. Plain, hard common sense, such as is needed to raise good crops and conduct any farm successfully, is better than any number of nice theories which are of no practie al value.—Farmers’ Voice. THE STING OF A BEE. H la m Very Complicated and Delicate Structure. The organ of defense which worker bees possess is a very complicate!! structure. The sting is composed of two highly polished, sharp bellow spears or lancets, B B, and an awl. A, as portrayed in the cut, held firmly together by projections Ton the centra’ one. which fit into grooves T on the sides of the other two. These lancets lying together form a tube between them. The central lance A. sometimes called the sheath* is larger than the others and has a cylindrical reservoir S at its base which connects with tut poison sac C, by the tube M, and below

U U, in the sectional drawing, which also shows the tube in the lancet, and the openiugs, O O. connecting the tube with the exterior. These barbs catch and hold, causing the sting to be left in when it is used. The poison is driven through the openings and through the tube formed by the lance, into the object stung. This poison is an acid fluid which the bee secrets and stores in the sac C. Being acid an alkali, as ammonia or soda, will neutralize it and help to allay the pain and swelling.— Farm and Home. HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS. Shade the hives when the weather is warm. Put starters of thin foundation in the section boxes. Look out for robbers when the harvest becomes scarce. Basswood is the greatest honey producer while in bloom. Remove all frames filled with brood from the brood chamber. Put the honey in the driest, warmest room about the house. If exposed to cold of dampness honey will granulate in the cells. Strong colonies at the proper time insure a good honey harvest. If you work for extracted be careful not to extract too close. A little pine tar smeared on a board will drive anta from the hive. A weak solution of carbolic acid and salt is a good remedy for bee stings. Where the honey is extracted a largc nurnber of extra combs are necessary. The only way to keep drones for any length of time is to keep hem in queenless colonies.—St. Louis Republic Uuod .\ew» from Missouri. Robert Cornwell, a Barton count \ (Mo.) farmer, living near Golden City, after numerous experiments, thinks he has succeeded in developing a potato that will grow without vines. They grow entirely under ground, and will do away with the fear of potato bugs, which cost so much to destroy each season. oat to mention the damage they do. A field planted with the vineless potato may be worked with the ordinary harrow. Should the new potato prove to be a good producer, as Mr. Cornwell hopes, it is likely to supersede the present variety.

AROUSED HIS CURIOSITY. ike Had Merer Heard of tke Cathay Bat It Host Be Good. “No,” remarked the young man who is eery much given to interspersing his conversation with quotations, “1 shall not go away for the summer.” “That is too bad,” exclaimed the young woman in the bicycle suit, sympathetically. “Not at all. This thing ot sitting around on piazzas and doing nothing except wishing that there was some other way of killing time faster is not at all to my taste. As a matter of fact, it isn’t any warmer in the city than it is elsewhere, and there is always something going on. 1 like the bustle and the hurry and the hum.” “But you must have rest, you know. You i will wear yourself out if you don’t.” “Oh, well,” he went on, with that come-what-may manner which can usually be relied on to impress a very young woman, “it is better to wear out than rust out.” “But there is no need of doing either, is there?’’ she inquired, apprehensively. “Perhaps not. But it is my disposition. My motto is: ‘Better 20 years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.’” “Why, Arthur. How suddenly you change the subject!” "I wasn’t aware that I had changed the subject.” “Why, yes. You said: ‘Better 20 years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.' ” “Aren’t you familiar with that?” _ “No,” she reluctantly confessed; “I believe you made it up.” “Oh. no: that isivt mine.” “Well, anyhow, I’d like to see one.” “One what?” “A, Cathay. I never heard of it. but i must be a very fine make of cycle, to cost as I much as a trip to Europe."—Washington Star.

Story of m Scarecrow. There is an honesi Swede employed as a gardener in the East End, and his deliberate speeches are a source of much delight to las employer. He has been much annoyed by thievish birds, and a few days ago suggested that ia scarecrow would be a good thing. It took him some time to make the employer understand what he meant, but tinally he realized it was a dummy bird scarer. “lak in ol’ country.” The employer fell in with the idea and i told the bwede to rig up a frame. When | this was completed the latter was given a bundle of cast-otf clothing to deck out his dummy. lie looked askance at the garments as he put them on the sticks and was evidently much impressed by their excellent condition. He glanced down at &s own clothes from time to time and seemed to-be making a silent comparison. Presently he put the scarecrow m the garden and returned to his employer, who stood at. some little distance. He looked at the work of art with his head very much on one side, and tinally said: "Sav, mister.” “Well. John?” “Av tank maybe it was better I change j clothes with scarecrow, or else stand mvcelf in his pl„ace.” He couldn't beat to see the dummy wearing better clothes than he did.—Clevt^aud I’iuiu Dealer.
