The Crop Outlook.


The Northwestern Miller prints edi!orally
the following review of the crop situation:
In North Dakota and Minnesota the crop
was not in the proper stage to receive greatS
injury. Had the hot weather come ten days
later, the crop Of the whole northern part OF
Dakota and Minnesota would have blightefl.
As it Is, nearly every field shows more OF less
damage. 4 letter from Crookston, written on
the I'd, says the tops OF the heads show blight
In very many cases, and in some fields on low
ground tho grain is injured from to Is per
cent. Ths best promise at present is along tliss;
Northern Pacific road from Fargo west. The
conditions have been mors favorable in that
section than in any other. The crop of Min-sa
nesota will be hardly an average one, say go
OOO, 900 bushels In Dakota the increased acre
age will make up for much OF the damage.
and tho total yield will be fully on large as last
year-about q, 100000 bushels. Iowa has sur {
fersd from the hot weather, and tie yield oS
S0,O0O,0O bushels for that State, according to
the official estimate, will probably be reduced
from 3,00O,0 900 to 100000. :
Reports come of unusually heavy hail storms
in the James river valley In Dakota. Near
Jamestown and along the territory traversed
by the jamestown and Northern branch Of tile
Northern Pacific, more hail has fallen this sea-
son than ever heretofore, but most of tho losses
are covered by the insurance companies that
have been doing large business there aud
throughout the territory. One company is try
ing to look pleasant over some sixty losses at
New Rockford and one hundred and twenty at
Lariinore, with scattering knock k-outs at many
other points. As a rule the losses are adjusted
aud paid with reasonable pronptncss aud the
companies operating this season are not cons
sidsred OF the wild sat order. Most of them.

has a years labor aud provisions at stake for a..
few weeks when hail does strike must be felt
to be appreciated. Tho general advento for

verified by the astounding advances made in
the fields of surgery and sanitary science
They are both quickly displacing medicine in
their application to the treatment of disease;
the former as curative, the latter greatly as
preventive Day by day almost, are diseases
which were formerly under the domain OF the
physicians passed into the hands of the sur
geon. Surgery saves life now in cases which
less than fifty years ago would have been in
evitably fatal. Physicians profess faith in
medicine, but really have very little. Apart
from about half dozen drugs, all medicines
are so uncertain in their effects that the ap-
plication is greatly experimental. Over
twenty years ago DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes
said that if the whole materia medica were
sunk to the bottom of the sea it would be all
the better for mankind, and all the worse for
the fishes"
Fifty years ago Magendie, the great French
physiologst, told his class that medicine
did devilish little when it didn't do mischief,
and doctors seem to have found it of less value
in these days than it was once thought, for
they use much less of it. But we have no
idea that this hobby of the speedy disappear
ance of the medical man and his pocket apoth-
ecary shop, will stand long, till rival hobby
will come to magnify the services and needs
of the pill and powder and their admins
traitors and belittle the merits of the surgeon

Josh BILLINGS did not find his true vocation
in life. or at least the path which led him to
financial success until he was forty-ive years
old. To write semihumorous. semi philosoph-
ical reflections in phonetic language not a
very digniied or desirable occupation, perhaps,
but he at least, gained competence without
doing harm to soul, and by giving pleasure if
not profit to many-a fact which is true of but
few men who have attained financial success.
Josh Billings was not great man, but he was
honest honorable and happy-hearted. and the
world is the better for his having lived in it.
