The Droutn and the Grain.

hC thhc
The drouth has been unusually protracted.
In certain sections there has been no rain
fall since the first week of May. Those
whose method of farming is diversified will
best be able to pass through this trying Or
deal We cannot see that anything but
harm can accrue to the farmer from not
furnishing faithful returns, and our object
is in every case to lay the facts, even ii
unpleasant. before our leaders. There
is no doubt that the effects OF
this exceptionally long period of
drouth have been intensified by
the absence of the usual supply of moisture
in the earth, owing to the very small
amount of snow whicln fell last winter:
Before complete returns have been received
from all the agricultural districts. it is pre-
mature to count upon exact figures. There
will be falling off in the wheat yield OF at
least 40 per cent. We fancy the entire
wheat crop of the United States Will not
exceed 400, 600, 600 bushels. Our reports
from Minnesota, Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Nebraska do not promise an average
yield of more than nine bushels to the acre
of wheat. Corn is very irregular crop in
Nebraska. Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Illinois. In Minnesota corn, which had been
looking wonderfully well, is now showing
the want of ram. The oat crop cannot be
more than three-fourths of an average
Weld. With the exception of Minnesota
and part of Nebraska the potato crop will
prove almost failure. In turning from
these unfavOrable results which no human
ingenuity could have modified. it is pleas
ant to reflect that the enhanced price for
all farm produce will recoup many for the
shortneSs of the yield. Some sections, too,
which have been favored with timely
showers will produce more than an aver
age yield of grain. and of the best quality.
This is particularly true of barley and rye,
which have yielded unusually heavy re-

Too Long for a stage wait.

Pail Mall Gazette.
1.-The following story is told of an eminent
physician who watched Mary Anderson do
the part of Juliet. The performance de-
lighted him till towards the conclusion of
the play, when his countenance wore
troubled expression. When it was over he
went up to the actress. My dear young
lady" he said. you are wrong in one of
your effects. Don't you know that corpse
doesn't stiffen for at least six hours after
death?' My dear DOCTOR" resp onded
Mary, slowly, speaking in deep. rich tones,
and adopting strong American twang,
do you think I'm going to keep my audi
ence waiting six hours while stiffen?"

KATY Did.

Katy did? / am surprised
To hear such thing of her!
Never her own love disguised?
Never made the least denur?
Mol He kissed her flnger-tips,
Like knight who'd favor win;
Then he kissed her on her lips
Katy! Katy! And what then?
Katy did? Pray tell it all
If you will, and ] will hearl
Well, at first heard him call
Her his 'love" and katy dear"
And she said: my dearest John,
Do you know il is a sin?"
And then-well, she kissed him on
His lips once-and once again.
Katy did? How dreadful! And
You beheld it all, you say?
Yes-he held her by the hand,
And they came this very way
In leafy bower above
Like thief the while hid,
And l heard him say. MY love!
And she kissed him-Katy did.

Outsne RANGES.

On the ranges which are greatly over
stocked, the rounding-up will soon be in
full swing. The Chicago buyers are taking
up the best stock, and there is every indi-
cation that more stock will now be shipped
East from Montana and other sections, at
better prices, than for many a year pre-
vioJs. Still, stockmen are far from jublant
when they look ahead and ask themselves
how stock is to be fed at profit from this
out. with so little grass on the ranges and
every probability of long and severe
winter. The fact is. the best ranges
have been so heavily stocked for
q number of years that Il very much shorter
period of drouth than that we have passed
through would have unduly drained our re-
sources. The days of the drive are num-
bered. and III the future the cattlemen of
the Northwest must seek new outlet for
their surplus stock or prevent the usual in
crease In addition to the dearth of pasture,
the stock on many of the ranges is
threatened with a scarcity of water, as
many of the smaller lakes and streams have
become dry. We earnestly counsel all men
connected with stock, whether on a large or
small scale, to put up all the hay and fOd-
der possible before winter. Any surplus
hay can be sold at good profit, and it will
not be possible to keep the markets down
bv large importations of fodder, as our
neiglborS are worse off than ourselves.
TO Destroy Chimch Bugs.
A correspondent who claims that he will
harvest the bulk of fine crop of wheat.
while his neighbofs crops are decimated by
this pest. describes his method Of warfare
as follows: When the weather is cool the
bugs collect in clusters and they can then
be shoveled away and destroyed. To piow
some half dozen burrows and keep the earth
freshly turned will prevent any incursion of
the bugs from your neighbors' land.

Pruning Melon Wines.

A practical gardener says: Last year
as a test of a frequent practice among
growers Of melons and squashes L pinched
the ends of the long main shoots OF the
melons. squashes and cucumbeTs, and LETT
some to run at ther own will. The squash
plant sent out single stem reaching more
than forty feet, but did not bear any fruit
Another plant was pinched until it formed
compact mass OF intermngling side-shoots
eight feet square, and it bore
sixteen squashes. This year a
a musknelon plant thus pnched in, covers
the space allotted to it. and it has
twenty three specimens of fruit. The
pinching causes many lateral branches,
which latter produce the female or fertile
blossoms while the main vines produce
only the male blossoms. The difference in
favor OF the yield Of an acre of melons
treated by this pinchilg process may easily
amount to 100 barrels.

How to Reclaim saoor Lands.

This is a question which is beginning to
confront many farmer in Minnesota whose
farm has been run down from excessive
cropping. Here is a method which a
farmer suggests as having adopted on his
land to his entire satisfaction. | SOwed

farm to rye and seeded it down. using a
liberal amount of clover seed, and | kept on
treating the rest of the farm i'll this way

About Farm, Horses.

What is needed in farm horses in many
of the agricultural sections of the North
west is greater weight that IS, more bone.
muscle and flesh properly distributed. As
has often been said before the most desir-
able weight for farm horse is from l, $50
to 1000 pounds. Our breeders have al
ready done sufficient to supply our work
ing horses with speed and ac-
ton. 1t now behoves them to con-
slider how, along with retaining
desirable shape and the above good quail
ties, they may at any time increase the
general standard Of weight. 1t is very de-
sirable that more of our men of intelligence
take in hand the breeding of horses with
this object in view. Should their efforts
fail in some cases, they will have the salts
faction OF owning in the horse which
has fallen short of the standard
of the heavier class most
salable animal, good for general purposes:
whereas, if the breeder of trotting and
pacing stock fails to attain high standard
of excellence in that line, he finds thrown
upon his hands comparatively useless ami
mal-something which is neither fish nor
flesh, nor good red herring" as the phrase
goes. There is no need here to expatiate
upon the known excellence of
the Percheron blood In breeding from
grade Percheron mares and pure bred
sires. care should be taken that both sire
and dam possess in marked degree the
points which it is desired to perpetuate.
Besides exhibiting desirable bodily quail
ties, they should inherit good constitu-
ton and good temper. The selection of a
mare relatively larger than the horse
is good principle in breed
ing, but nothing short of ones
own, or impaired experience can
direct the breeders how to act so as to in
sure the best results. Neither overfeed nor
oyerwork brood mares. Every young horse
