About two months ago a female gray
wolf in the Geological garden, gave birth
to a litter OF five curious little creatures,
which proved to be q cross between the
mothers kind and a Scotch shepherd
dog. The new corners were the pets Of
Head Keeper Byrne, who watched their
growth with anxiety and carefully noted
their peculiarities. The Gneer little nom
descEpts thriVed famOusly, and before
long, had Outstripped their dam and were
fast surmOunting the trials of puppyhood.
But the she wolf did not take kindly to
her progeny. The young ones resem bled
their sire in shape and actions, and their
mother in color. They had Whiskered
muzzles like Scotch COllies, and they de-
VelOppd the awkward romping prOCiivi-
ties Of half-grOWn puppies. The mothers
antipathy grew with their growth, and
her behavior changed from moroseness
TO active hatred. She drove them away
from her, and set her sharp fangs into
their flesh whenever they came near
her.
One night recently, there was a terrific
bowling in the wolves quarters. The
keeper on that night ran to the den, and
by the moons light, saw the mother wolf
rapidly devOuring one Of her puppies. A
pole was used to drive the wolf away,
and it was then found that another of
the puppies had been so Injured by her
cruel fangs, as to neCessitate killing it
with ChlOr form. A net like those used
by dog catChers, was procured, and the
wolf Was caught and transferred to a
strong box in pen. The young puppies
are now doing we'll, and are already
One-third larger than full-blooded wolves,
but as they grow older, the vicious ma
ture Of their mothers race begins to
make itself visible.

The following sports frC IA various states
are given to show the condition Of the
crop:
The secretary of the state board Of agri-
culture reports that returns from 9s1 TO Wn-
snip correspondents show that the corn
crop IS IN very hattering condition. The
probable area compared with 1884 Is 108 per
cent. The probable total in bushels is ia. .
lS2 IA against I've year average of 81, =
544 81. It viii be the largest CfOD in the
history Of the state excepting 1873. No
tr0sts have been reported, and the crop is
now safe. The yield will be of the finest
quality and the fetal may exceed the above
amount.
Detroit, September 17.-Oa account OF
the cold weather corn has made very slow
progress toward maturity. Unless the
weather in Septemb 81 is exceptionally fav-
Orable, there is little hope that the crop in
al parts Of the state viii fully ripen.
There mas been no killing frost in Michi-
gan. 1t is not thought that the crop can
be injured By frost at this season.
Nil WaUkes, Stp'ember IL. But f5W fields
of corn In this locality have been Injured
to any extent from uCst. Husking has, Rs
! su@oiently maturod TO be beyond that
period where any damage can be done TO it,
and a fair crop is assured.
ST. Louis, September II Brief dispatch

Missouri report corn in a good condition.
No damage has yet been done by frCst, and
if no sudden change to the very low TEN
DeratuFe. no fear is EpDrehended. The dan
g 9r point will be passed within ten davs
The yield is expected to be large, and will
perhaps average from forty to fifty bushels
per acre.
Louisville, September18 In consequence
Of the contiLU ed drought which preVsiled
in many portions of this state during
AUGUST, the average condition of corn il
siZtv-seven cOvnties, has rsceded from lO5
TO 81. There has been no frost, and the
recent rains will materially benefit the late
corn. The crop is well advanced, and no
fears are entertained from frost.
Indianapolis, September 17.-ConCerning
the following is reported:
There has been no damage to corn in
Indiana by frost. The crop in the southern
b alt Of the state is now sufficiently matured
60 be out of danger from frost. an the
northern half of the state, the late corn,
which is about 80 per cent. of the crop in
that section, might be hurt from hard frosts
during the next seven days. But after that
there will be no danger from frOsts in that
part of the state.
The general crop, as to the condition and
yield, in the state, viii be about the aver
age. Some counties taking leo as an aver
age, and reporting $50 per cent. for cOndi-
ton and probable yield. There will be
more bushels OF merChantable corn grown
IN Indiana this year than was ever grown
before.

CONCERNING hog oRoLERA.

Speaking Of hog cholera the AtChison
Globe says: As usual, when a plague of
this kind comes, a great many took ad-
vantage Of the occasion to compound
Remedies" of any stuff they could think
Of, and sell them at high prices to men
who were being ruined. They were ale
ways bought, even if nothing but ashes,
and the vendors "fXed" themsel yes cut
of other peoples misery. But retribu-
ton overlook one of them. He was q
farmer and owned 200 hogs himself,
which seemed perfectly free from the
disease, while those of his neighbOr
were dying by the dozen. Taking adj
vantage of this fact, he mixed up prep
aratiOn and sold il TO the other farmers,
alleging that it had kept the cholera
away from his hogs. He had raked in
about 500 on the experiment., v hen his
own animals commenced to die, and he
hadn't time to sell any more of the in
fallible cure because of dragging dead
hogs out of the lot. He now has two
hogs left Of his drove, which were so
tough looking that the disease hadn't
the nerve to tackle them. Another man
was losing his hogs as fast as they could
conveniently die, when a stranger sp-
peared, and said that if he would take
three or four dead hogs TO the lot where
the living ones were, and burn them
down to charred bones and ashes, which
the sick ones would eat, he would lose
no more hogs. This plan seemed an ex-
tremely silly one, but as it cost nothing,
the farmer tried it, and every big, shoat
and pOrker that partOOk Of the cremated
remains Of its relatives, lived through,
and has a prospect Of living happy ever
after. This was tried by several and
they ali claim that it was too much for
the cholera. Another farmer claims hs
saved his hogs by feeding them turnips,
but in all the afflicted districts there Is
not a man who will tell yOu that he
saved a hog BY the use of drug store
remedies. The loss in Brown county
was even worse than those spoken of,
and there are many men there who are
literally ruined, for hogs constitute one
of the chief pillars of Kansas farming.
No estimates Of the loss can be given,
but it will need seven or eight figures
Nobody viii buy hogs now, nor viii
they for a long time to come, and az the
farmers have nothing to feed their corn
TO they will sell it, which will lower the
price greatly. The cold weather Of the
p lst few days, with the attendant rain,
mas given the disease great assistance ia
its work Of devastation, and there are
many who fear that the beginning is
only commenced
