Kingsbury County News: Should no
serious disaster occur within the next
two weeks to blight or destroy the pre-
sent prospect the harvest for southern
Dakota this season will be the best ever
gathered. There is much qualification
to be derived even from hasty trip over
the country and from inquiries made of
farmers coming in daily. Many farmers
are surprised at the bright prospects and
say that some wheat fields will yield from
twenty to thirty-tive bushels to the acre,
Thus fur the season has never been more
propitious, and in consequence the grain
has stooled out wonderfully. Through
out Dakota the wheat is looking magni.
ticently. while oats. rye, barley and flax
promise unprecedented yields. Corn i.
small, but in view of nll the circum
stances it is a base ingratitude to com
plain as this and the next are the corr
making months. Everything is lovely
and the goose hangs high.

The completed report of the depart
ment of agriculture on the condition Of
crops for July shows that there is an in
creased area of potatoes in nearly every
state and territory, the natural effect of
the high prices. The increase amounts
to about per cent. The condition was
also high, falling little short of 100 any
where, and averaging lO2. The acreage
Of tobacco is nearly the same as in 1881.
The condition is high in Kentucky, len
nessee and North Carolina, but below
the average in the Connecticut valley,
Maryland and Virginia. Apples and
peaches will be fairly abundant. In
Deleware and Maryland the crop OF
peaches may exceed eleven million bas-
kets. A medium crop will be gathered
in the Michigan, Illinois and Missouri
peach regions. The conditions of fruit
is better west Of the Mississippi than in
the Ohio valley. AS usual there is a
great local variation iu the condition.

The Bahamas.

A correspondent of the New York
Home Journal, writing from Nassau, n.
P, says: Much has been said and writ
ten in praise of the Bahamas as a health
resort. Grateful convalescents have
termed Nassau the Isle of June 'Jasi-
mine Garden Earthly Eden Island
Paradise, Land of the Lotus, ETC. The
roses and oleanders, the night blooming
cereus and stephanotis, fill the air with
sweetness and make the place bower of
loneliness and verdure. The sea, with
its marvellous beauty of color, the outly-
ing wood, and the blessed golden sun
shine that floods them all and gladdens
the most hopeless hearts, have all been
descanted upon. But one point, the
most important of all to the invalid, has
not, l think, been sufficiently emphasized,
the marvellous equability of the climate.
Nowhere can one find such alb
sOlute thermometrical stability as
here, not even in Madeira. Day
after day the mercury stands here in my
chamber at seventy-five degrees, only
dropping to seventy-two or seventy.
three in the small hours of morning. 1t
is the wonderful equability of this eli.
mate that gives it It's sanitary superiOri-
ty. But aside from this the island has
for Americans a peculiar charm. No
doubt if 1t belonged to the United States
its importance as a sanitarium would be
increased, but half its charm would then
have vanished. 1t is now a picturesque
bit of the Old World. The life here
among the officials and natives varies
essentially from anything one sees at the
watering places of the United States,
and the visitor from the States will find
in it, therefore. an element of freshness
and novelty, adding greatly TO the pleas
ure of his sojOurn and TEN pting him to
prolong it. -
