CORN AT ITS BEST AND worsT.
Rains Improve the Crops in Portions
ofthe Northwest

Rains Improve the Crops in Portions
ofthe Northwest.
The followed crop summary appears in the
Farmers Rerie,o' Rains have improved the
prospects for corn in portions of Minnesota,
Iowa. Illinois, Ohio and Kansas, while in
Indiana the tenor Of the reports indicates a
full average yield. Very large sections in
all the remaining corn growing States have
as yet no relief from the drouth, and reports
are now coming which would indicate fail
ure OF the crop in wide areas.
The reports from Putnam county, in Hi
DIS, state that much of the corn is fired in
the ear and some to the tassel. The entire
crop threatens to be a failure. In Scuyler
county, Illinois, entire fl ,lds are reported de-
stroyed. In Bureau, Edwards, Ircquois
Union, Piatt. DeKalb and Pulaski counties,
thousands Of acres are reported ruined, and
the outlook, even with rain, does not indi,
cate more than one-half q crop. In Mont
gomery and Edgar counties timely rains
have insured the prospect of good yield. In
Jasper, Fayette. Clay, Muscatne, Hardin
and Tama counties, in Iowa, the outlook is
regarded as very poor, with prospect not
| to exceed one-third to one-h half an averag e
yiell. In Woodbury. and Webster counties,
| in Iowa, there is still the promise Of full
| average crop.
In Ohio the general outlook for corn has
been improved by rains, with an outlook of
s. per cent. Of an average yield. In Atchi-
| son, Labette and Allen uuties, in Kansas,
there is the prospect of one.half an average
yield Of corn. In Chautauqua and Graham
counties the yield is placed at three>fourths
of an average. In Minnesota corn has at
tanned a growth of six to eight feet, and the
present outlook is for nearly full average
crop In O!mstead and Blue Earth counties
the outlook is very good. Throughout Mis-
souri, the prospec5 is not good for more than
one-ha'f to three-fourths Of an averag crop
| The rep rts from Wisconsin d. not give the
promise to exceed one half an average
yield In Nebraska the prospect continues
good for nearly full average yield.
The quality Of the winter wheat is gener.
ally reported as above the average. The
berry is plump and hard, giving a promise
that the grain will grade unusually we'll.
This is tenor Of reports from Kansas, Mis-
souri,, lnois and Indiana. The yield OF

~prove-what, indeed. we knew before
that long prior to the Greek civilization,
with which we are familiar, there was an
older civilization which persisted before
history began. At Tiryns he has I'M
earthed the ruins of n palace built of
Cyclopean stones, as large as those which
nave been found in Easter island, and
obviously implying the existence of ma
ehinery and a knowledge of mechanics.
The distribution of the palace into halls,
dining-rooms, sleeping chambers, i'm
plies an advanced degree of culture and
an orderly, not to say luxurious, fashion
of living. The walls were painted, not in
q high style OF art, certainly, but with
bright colors IND n general system of
tracery suggestive Of Phmnician or
Assyrian origin.

Did you ever look at the "marbling" on
the edge OF u book and wonder how they
put it onl did, and went TO n bindery
on purpose to see IL done One man per-
formed the work for the entire establish
ment, and | am told that there is a GER
tain secrecy about the process that en-
ables those who follow IL to command
high wages. There was before the work
man a sink filed to the brim with a dark
red paint, thickened with mucilage.
Near this was n table upon which stood
the jars OF the other colors-white, blue,
green, and yellow. These, too, are
thickened in the same way.
At the workman's hand are the stitched
but unbound volumes, the edges of which
are to be marbled. The sinkful OF red is
examined, and all foreign matter
skinned of. Then the workman takes
in turn a brush from each jar of color
and strikes it across a stick which aids
him as a maulstick does n painter. This
scatters the paint from the brush to the
surface of the sink, where it lies, by rea-
son of its preparation, without running
together. In this position the marbling
appear Just rs IL does when on the edge
of the book. Several books are picked
up between the pieces of millboard, n
while clasped tightly together are held
against the concoction below for a second
or two. When they are withdrawn the
marbling has been transferred to their
edges. Others are dipped till the mar
bling is exhausted from the sink. Then
the whole preparation is repeated.
Another thing I think not generally
known is the fact hat gilded edges are
put upon books not so much to improve
the appearance of the volumes, but to al
low them to be the more easily cleaned.
When gilt-edged books are dusty n sharp
slap against another volume or the sur
face of a table will clean them instantly.
1t Is for this especial reason that thou
sands of books are only gilded-o on the top
edge, where the dust is likely to settle.
People not knowing this often return
such books to their dealers as incomplete.
