Northern Indiana Weekly Weather Report.

No rain, cool nights and hot days. Corn ripened and dried fast; early-planted corn is being cut, but, on account of the long continued dry weather, the quality will not be as good as formerly. Most of the corn is now beyond danger from, frost. Potatoes are a poor crop; tjjey are small with but few in a hill.. Cabbages are a fair crop, but they have been damaged much by worms in localities. Tomatoes are ripening fast, but the erop is not so abundant or the quality so good as last year. Cel-

ery is a good crop of fine quality. Gardens are dried up. Buckwheat is a fair crop, but it is too dry to fill well. Apples are a fair crop, Watermelons are abundant and good in some localities, and a fair crop of muskmelons are now ripe. Clover hulling continued, with good results. Plowing is mostly done, but, seeding is delayed, and farmers are waiting for rain. Some early-sown wheat is coming up in Huntington County. Pasturage is getting dry, and stock is being fed on many farms; stock water is getting scarce; in Kosciusko County lambs are dying.
