tiers. They cleanse the liver, givevig-

stomach. So perfect is the amalgama-
ton of the various drugs and medica-
ments contained in these Bitters, with
out depriving them of their separate
value, that they perform their beneficial
effect on all the digestive organs at the
same time. The arrangements of the
stomach and liver are the cause of all
nervous and brain disorders. Paralysis,
apoplexy, epilepsy, cholera, arose from
neglected gastric affections in the first
place, and are always relieved and Of

organs. These invaluable Bitters are
the most potent medicines in the world
for this purpose. and never fail in their
effect. Appetite is restored and health
guaranteed.

"Cheat in Wheat. J"

To the Standard.
Hickory CREEK, April 81, So
We wrote an article for your paper
about twelve months since in which
we stated that "cheat" or "chess" was
degenerate wheat, and was caused by
heavy and late pasturing. As the year
1881 was dry year, and but very lit
tie forage was provided for stock for
the following winter, growing wheat
was paStured heavy and late, even un-
til grass was sufficient for stock to live
upon it. From this we predicted that
the wheat would be mixed with cheat.
The wheat farmers can answer whether
or not their wheat was generally mixed

with cheat, or chess, last year. AS it
was not necessary during the last win
ter to pasture the wheat, we now pre-
dict that the present wheat crop will
be free from cheat, provided there was
no cheat in the wheat when sown, and
particularly when the wheat was sown
early and on good or well prepared
land. We think likely that the severe
freezes of winter might affect the wheat
in the same manner as pasturing, and
cause it to bring forth as much cheat
as wheat, but upon we'll prepared land
and when the wheat was well rooted
before the cold weather we think but
little cheat will make its appearance.
The wheat prospects on Hickory
Creek are not promising. We have
some wheat that looks very fine, where
the land was turned very early and
wheat put in with the drill, particular
ly where green crop was turned I'M
der; but where sOwn on stalk land and
put in with bull-tongue plow, the wheat
is very sorry. We have just returned
from Rutherford and Cannon counties,
and on our trip saw only one field of
good wheat. This was near Murfrees.
boro and was sown early with drill.
We noticed quite number of farmers
blowing up their wheat, preparing the
land for corn. The wheat crop is a
failure in the country through which
we passed. The oat crop there and
at home looks promising. The outlook
for the corn crop is not at all flattering.
We look for a short corn crop, and be-
lieve that corn will be worth more in
the fall than now. Clover and grass
look well, and stock is improving.

The Outlook For Wheat.

We devote many columns this morn.
ing, on our second and third pages, to
careful and trustworthy reports by our
own correspondents from all the wheat
growing sections except California. 1t
will be seen by these reports that the
outlook is good for an average crop of
wheat this year, The reports of dam
age from the severe cold proved to
have been unfounded in nearly all
cases. Warm, genial weather of the
past few weeks has turned the brown
fields green, and thus dispelled the
gloomy forebodings which were rife a
month ago. From Minnesota, Ne
braska, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas,
Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, Dakota, the
great wheat-growing sections, the re-
ports are all favorable for fair aver
age crop, and in some cases for an in
crease over that of last year. There
will be slight falling off in the pro,
duct of Minnesota, but this will be due
to the fact that Minnesota farmers are
turning more and more each year to
dairy farming, which yields swifter
and surer return than wheat. The
falling off in that State, however, will
be more than couuterbalanced by the
increased acreage in the newer wheat
growing sections, like Dakota, which
will almost double its acreage, and pos
sibly double its yields. Some of the
comparatively older States are also in.

Crop Outlook in California.

Special to the World. SanFrancisco,
CAL, April 30.-The Chronicle this
morning publishes exhaustive crop re-
ports from all sections of the state,
showing the wheat to be in excellent
condition, and says the reported grain
pest is a canard. The increase acre
age of what is lost on wheat by drought
is more than made up in wine. The
fruit crop is the largest ever known in
the state. The former outlook is alto
gether most prosperous.

DAYLIGHT, May 1st.--Farmers are
late finishing planting corn, owing to
the late wet spring. Wheat looks well,
though some crops are entirely too thin
to make good yield. There will be
a fair crop of all kinds of fruit if no
further mishaps befall them.

Kentucky 10 per cent, and so on.

ing States. But even Ohio's pros
poets have frightened visibly during
the past week or more, and it is be-
lieved that the yield will not be more
than third smaller than that of last
year.
This estimate includes the California
crop, which is now generally conceded
to be in good condition and to promise
an average yield in all save few lin
tied areas. Within the next few weeks,
if the present favorable weather con.
tinues, there may be such rapid adj

But what would like to hear from some disinterested parties IS what location would be desirable, If near rum ming water the year round, or would 1 have to sink wells, the water courses be- ing well taken up? What act would I have to perform to become possessor of the land, or would have to buy, and how near settlements could 1 locate? The price of cattle-yearlings and two- year-olds-and any information relating to the above, which you might think would be advantageous to me also, are goats raised in the territory as a busi- ness and can you inform me of whom I can get information in regard to them? l had some thought of locating a ranch in Texas, but your article in the Chicago Tribune, of to-day's issue, has interested me to know more of Arizona. So If you will kindly hand this to some party, who would feel interested enough in his ter ritory to answer ne, shall thank you kindly.
