CROP PROSPECTS.

The state department of agriculture
sends out the following bulletin on the
crop prospects for the present season:
Corn planting has been delayed by fire.
Quent rains and the cold weather has been
I'm favorable for growth and much of the
cary planted seed has rotted in the
ground, necessitating considerable replant-
ing.
Chinch bugs are reported in large num-
bers in various portions of the state, and
a season of hot, dry weather, previous to
harvest, would make it possible for these
destructive insects to seriously damage the
grass crop.
The army werm has made its appear
ance much earlier than usual in some OF
the southern counties, and in such num-
bers as to cause much uneasiness concern
ing the grain and grass crop. Our dis
patches confirm the danger resulting to
winter wheat from the army worm. In
Union and many other southern counties,
where the blades in many places have al
ready been stripped from the stalks, and
the worms are now eating off the heads of
late and tender varieties of wheat.
There is limited number of farm ami
mails in most of the counties, when com
pared with the same date last spring. The
Interior tohullloh VI SUM 10 ioPoiteu as
the result of the partial failure of crops
last season, and consequent high prices of
hay and grain, which have induced farmers
in many sections to feed sparingly during
the winter, with the expectation that pas
lures would be as good as usual in the
early spring, and that stock would soon so
regain flesh as to be up to an average in
condition.
The cold, backward spring, and partial
failure of grass, owing to the severe drouth
last season in Central and Southern Hi
nois, has disappointed feeders as to obtain
ing the much needed supply of grass for
stock.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column

WHAT Ais YOUf

Unless the food is properly prepared in
the stomach it becomes corrupt and poisons
the system it is intended to nourish. Dys-
pepsia and its accomplishments are bad
breath, headache, constipation, piles, bill
business and depression of spirits. Suffer
ers with dyspepsia experience a rapid and
permanent cure by the use or Simmons
Liver Regulator. 1t is purely vegetable
and pleasant to the taste. A half-table-
spoonful, taken after eating, ensures good
digestion.
