THE GROWING CROPS.
Statistician Chamberlain Gives Reasons for
His Prediction of Short Crop.

MILWAUKEE. June IFS Ell. Seamens. sec
rotary of the National Millers' Association,
has received the following telegram from w. j.
Chamberlain, the Ohio Statistcian, in response
to an inquiry to Mr.. Chamberlain, asking if he
had any good reason for reducing his estimate OF
the wheat crop of 1885 to 10000, 900 bushels:
Two hundred and seventy millions is my June
estimate; 300, 000, 900 bushels was my May esti-
mate. Wheat lost rapidly in April and May,
and lately the fly has been very destructive, and
much supposed wheat proves to be cheat. Ohio.
Indiana Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and California
give only 90 O00 900, against fve-year average
of 20S.O00,OOO bushels. My information from
these points is most reliable. The wheat failure
is the most disastrous for twenty years, and
there is no use denying it, or letting the public
down gently to the knowledge of it"
The Commissioner of Agriculture of Tennessee
reports to s. W. Talmadge. of this city. that
there is no improvement in the condition of
wheat Many counties report that very little
more than the seed will be harvested. Much of
that left by the winter freezes has been attacked
by the Hessan fly, and many fields have been
found to be filled with cheat, so the crop may be
considered failure. The most favorable condi-
tons until harvest can scarcely improve the
present outlook.
In regard to Kentucky, c. E. Bowman writes:
The wheat crop is in deplorabie condition
The State will scarcely produce 100000 bush
els, and may fall below that The fact is, our
wheat crop does not deserve to be dlgnifed by
being called crop. The United States Agri-
cultural Bureau estimated the wheat crop Of
Kentucky, last year, at Is. 500, 900 bushels"

SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, June 1.-THE advance
sheets of report upon the corn crop Of Illinois,
soon to be issued by the Department of Agri
culture, shows that the area planted in corn is
much larger than last year, especially in the
wheat section. Insects have damaged the grow
ing corn seriously in many portions of the State.
and the dry season has been unfavorable for
planting and growth. Corn in the northern part
OF the State is usually nearly half that of the
entire corn area of the State, and, in 1884, OK
ceeded three million acres. The average condi-
ton of the growing crop in June is "a per cent,
against SO last year. There has been an increase
of II per cent in the corn area of the central di
vision, as compared with 1884, when 2,960.O 900
acres were planted. The condition is Sc per cent,
against 80 last year The area in southern
Illinois is IA per cent. larger than last year, and
the condition is 90 as against 81 last year.

When he confessed to a glass at dinner,
I wondered if he could fancy me de-

from drink and tobacco. Then how
came this'strange decadence Of the IA

weed, says: "

the chief ingredient in the manufac-
ture of leather, becomes more and more
confident as he progresses in his inves-

grows thickly upon the ground to the
height Of three or four feet, and in the
fall and winter presents a red appear
ance. 1t produces from sixteen to
twenty-three per cent. Of fannie acid,
while oak bark produces only from
eleven to thirteen per cent. The cost
of the raw material will be about one
quarter the cost Of the bark, and the
supply will never become exhausted by
use, as it re%produces itself each season.

Facts Worth Remembering.

Venerable Wait: 1t is worth while
for all farmers, everywhere, to remem-
Der that thorough culture is betterthan
three mortgages on their farms.
That an offensive war against weeds
is five times less expensive than a de-
fensive one.
That good fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is a good deal cheaper made
in the summer than bought in the win
ter.
That a horse that lays it's ears back
and looks lightning when any one APP
proaches him, is vicious. Don't buy.
That scrimping the feed of fatting
hogs is a waste of grain.
That over fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children is money
loaned at a hundred per cent.
That M evening spent at home in
study is more profitable than ten in
lounging about country taverps.
That COWS should be MIXED regular
ly and clean.
That it is the duty of every farmer
to take some good, reliable agricultural
paper, and pay for it promptly.
The New York Times very pertinent
ly suggests that this is a good year for
Americans to stay at home and visit
the novel and picturesque regions of
their own land in place Of roaming ov-
er Europe. There is pretty certain to
be war over there, 1T is believed, and
quite as likely cholera, with inferior
ocean accommodations upon slow
steamers taking ten to fourteen days,
as the British government has charter
ed all the fast steamships to be used as
armed cruisers to run down Russian
pr:Yateers in case. of war. 1t has been
estimated that Americantourists spend
from twenty to thirty million dollars a
year on the other side. 1t willbea nice
little sum if they scatter the money
this year in travel at home. Probably
the greater portion OF them will do SO.
BY this course they will be benefited
and material service be rendered the
country: They will see more in the
western world that is really worth see
ing. They may not find SO much that
has a written history running back to
the hazy dawn Of civilization-no arti-
fetal sphynx Or pyramids, but grandcr
ones fashioned by the hand of naturein
eras that imagination can hardly meas
IRE. If there are on the plains of Da-
kota no vaticans and galleries Of the
workmanship Of the old masters, there
are mirages that surpass the efforts of
human genius. Let them visit the
marvels of the national park and halt
by the beautiful lakes and ~piscatory
streams, inhaling the rich and lnspirit-
ing atmosphere Of North Dakota, and
their returns in invigorated systems
and rational enjoyment will be immeas-
urably greater than can be had in loi-
terlng about old cities and venerable
tombstones of defunct notables in the
transatlantic regions.
