100000 acres. The plant is healthy, growth
nearly average, the stand good Where recent
rains have been excessive the crop is in the

The condition of winter wheat is reported
lower than ever before in June. The general
percentage has declined from 40 In May TO 62.
The averages of the principal states are: New
York 81, Pennsylvania 81, Ohio Sc, Michigan
"a, Indiana 63, Illinois 40, Missouri 80, Kansas
50, California 5S In some states there has
been greater loss of area than was anticipat-
ed in previous reports. The average yield will
evidently be less than 10 bushels per acre.
The probable product of winter wheat states,
according TO these returns, Is reduced to
about 207, 0O0,0 900 bus hels. But none Of the
territories are included in the winter wheat
area.
The report Of spring wheat is more favorable.

Of winter wheat area, and later by the British
Russian war rumOrs. Substantially the same
area has been seeded as last
year. about 100000 acres, in northern
New England, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska and all the territories. The percent
age of last years area is 95 in Wisconsin, 80 in
Minnesota, 102 in Iowa, 90 in Nebraska, and
103 In Dakota. The condition of spring wheat
is "a, and indicates a crop Of about l53O00,000
bushels. The average for Wisconsin Is IS /;
Minnesota "a; Iowa 100; Nebraska, 1G2; Da-
kota, 101.
The present report, therefore, indicates a
wheat crop of 500, 100000 bushels, %, 000, 900
bushels smaller than that of 1881.
The general condition of rye is SO. The area
OF barley is nearly the same as in 1884, and the
average Of condition is 50. The acreage Of oats
has increased 4 per cent, and the average Of
condition is a. Corn will be reported in July,
but voluntary returns indicate an increase of

Picked up by a Cyclone.

A passenger train on the Sioux Falls branch
of the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul railroad
was, blown from the track near McCook, a
small station in Dakota, several miles north
west of Sioux City. The train was going at
nearly full speed when the cyclone struck it,
The wind seemed literally to have lifted every
car from the track and TO have turned the cars
about in the air. The engine was only partly
derailed but the couplings were severed as
clean and completely as though cut by chisel
cars were thrown on their sides into ditch.
There were go or 40 pen sons on the train, and
when the shock was felt momentary tumult
of yells was drowned In the roar of the wind
but followed as soon as the crash was over by
the shrieks of women and cries for help of those
caught in the wreckage. The engine crew and
several passengers who were but slightly bruis-
ed at once began chopring at the wreck. and a
wrecking train was Immediately sent with
surgeons as soon as word was received.

A Shower Of Birds.

Special to St. Louis Globe Democrat:
A terrific rain aud wind storm swept
over Central Mississippi, on the night
of the "a inst. 1t game from n north
westerly direction and lasted several
hours, blowing down trees, fences and
ouJhouses, and in some places washed
up corn and other seeds that had been
recently planted. The next morning,
at Canton and vicinity, number Of
strange birds were found lying, or
sitting on the ground, some of them
dead and others crippled from being
hurled against trees, houses and other
obstacles. Again others we're found
apparently uninjured, although they
seemed unable or indisposed to fly any
considerable distance. Upwards of a
hundred of these birds havo been
picked up, and, as they are entire
strangers to the locality, tho SUPPOSE
ton Is, that they were caught up on
the sea coast by the wind and waited
this way. They are certainly species
of sea fowl, and resemble the pcnquin.
They are about the size of tho teal
duck, have head like the game
chicken and bill like the crow. Their
legs are short and web-footed; their
wings are also short. The feathers on
the neck and back are black and dark
green, while those on the breast are a
bright silvery gray. The birds have no
tails, and the live ones were found
either sitting up or waddling, and
made no effort to fly.
