THE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS.
An Improved Condition of Corn
Damages from DrOuth,

An Improved Condition of Corn
Damages from Drouth.
The detailed reports from the corn belt in
dicate an Improvement for the outlook Of the
crop in Ohio, Minnesota and Indiana, in all
IF which States there is the present promise
Of full average crop. This is in accordance
NTH the tenor Of the reports for the last
three weeks, but in some instances, in the
three States named, the outlook is declared
10 be unusually promising.
In illinois general improvement Of to 10
per cent. is noted, but hegeneral average for
Henry. Madison, Stephenson, and Whiteside
rcunties the average ranges from 40 to 50 per
cent In Bond, Cas-, Coles, Crawford, Chris
tian, Dupage Fulton, Kankakee, Like,
Macoupin, Pulaski, Shelby, Stark, and
Wabash counties the averages range from 81
TO 80 per cent. In Washington county the
yield will be less than 20 per cent Of an
average.
The general average is low for all the Iowa
Counties, running from ~ to % per cent. In
Ringold AMI Wayne counties the average is
40 pr cent. In Fayette, Jasper. Iowa, Craw-
ford, Mitchell and Wiunesheik counties the
average is so to 70 per cent. In Cedar,
Davis and Linn counties the verage is so to
: 10 per cent. The average in Missouri ranges
from 80 to Is per cent. The average Of the
State does not promise one-half Of an aver
| age yield.
In Dakota the yield of wheat is averaging
from 10 to IL bushels, and the grain is grad
Ing well. In Minnesota the yield Of wheat
ranges from s to "a bushels, ruling very
irregular.
In many counties in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin the ground is reported too dry
to permit of fall blowing, and the effects Of
the drouth are also still seriously felt owing
10 the dryness of the pastures. Unless relief
by rain comes shortly stock will go into the
winter in poor condition.
Fruits are reported as abundant in all the
western States, with the exception of Wis,
censin. Hog cholera is reported in st. Fran
co.'s county. Missouri, Ringgold county,
Iowa, aud in Christian, Greene, Pulaski and
Shelby counties, illinois. AS a rule, however,
hogs are reported as unusually healthy.

sEDGwICK's ESCAPADE.
A Revised Version in Which Some
Gloss is Put on the Affair.


Gloss is Put on the Affair
Reports have been current since Friday
night regarding the treatment Of Mr.. Sedg-
wick, the American special agent in the Gut
ting case, who was one evening one OF the
guests at ball given by one Of the clubs Of
Mexico city. The cub in question is the
most aristocratic in Mexico, among its mem
bers being Government officials OF the highest
class and representatives Of the eldest and
most distinguished families The members
II the club gave Mr.. Sedgwick an invitation
as special honor to an American representa-
tive. He was received with marked tokens
of respect, and every one endeavored
to make the evening agreeable to him, he
being the most honored guest. Toward the
small hours Of the morning there was the
usual flow of champagne and numerous toasts
were drank in one of the rooms set apart for
gentlemen. A careful investigation shows
that Mr.. Ssdgwick, while undoubtedly par
ticipating in the convivial enj yment Of the
hour was in no way treated insolently. The
members of the club and its managers siren.
uously deny that any discourtesy was in-
tended or practiced toward Mr.. Sedgwick
who made an excellent impression.
To set at rest the injurious reports regard
Ing Mr.. Sedgwick it is proposed by leading
representatives of the highest society of Mex
leo to give him a series OF dinners and recep-
tons in order to make it evident that he has
the esteem of the Mexicans. Since the ru-
mors became current, large number OF en-
tirely ridiculous and unfounded reports have
been in circulation, but no person Of reputa-
lion or standing in the community CONVEX
SAINT with the matter supports them. Last
evening Mr.. Ssdgwick was guest at pri-
vate house at dinner. at which were present
Minister Mariscal, of the Department of For
elgn Relations, and Minister Romero Rubio,
Of the Interior Department. Mr.. Se1gwick
is con Ferring with Minister jackson and in
vest eating the laws of Mexico bearing on the
Cutting case. He is having TRANSACTIONS Of
the laws made and when through here lie will
90 to Chihuahua and then to Paso del
NoIte.
In an interview Mr.. Sedgwick, the Ameri4
san special agent, emphatically denies the
stories against him in circulation in the
United States. Leading representatives OF
the Jockey Club, who have been interviewed
On the subject, express themselves as sorry
that the good name Of the club had been
called in question. They said that Mr.. Sedg
wick was conspicuous guest at their ball.
and that he behaved as gentleman should.
Senior Mariscal, Mexico's Secretary of
State. has ordered that hereafter all arrests
If foreigners in Mexico shall be made only

A New Apple.

Spirit of the Farm.
A prominent nursery man inform
ed us of the discovery of a very fine
keeping apple in one of the adjacent
counties, which promises great deal
for this country. 1t is very like the
northern favorite, Ben Davis, being
large, red, juicy, sweet tasted apple,
equal to the finest northern fruit, and
its keeping quality is beyond ques-
ton. 1t stands alone in an old or
chard, a young volunteer among old
trees. 1t barely escaped cutting
down, and was only saved by care
lessness. 1t came up Seeding out
of a row, and the owner thought
every time he passed he would cut
it down, but it was neglected, until
finally it bore and its excellence be-
came apparent. The apples were put
up with many other varieties, and in
the following spring it was the only
one left, even the limber-twig having
disappeared. 1t is named Eclipse, is
ten pears old, and the owner jealousy
guards it from the knife of nursery
men. He intends, we hear, to graft il
next spring so we may get it in our or
chards in year or so. This brings tC
us the reflection that, with very
little trouble and expense, we nigh
originate as many good winter apples
as we need. Select such trees as W,
wish to hybridize, and scatter TIT
pollen of one over the flowers of an
other, first clipping out the stamen
of that flower, and then planting tn,
fruit coming from those flowers. Car
and eXactness are all that is requisite
Let the trees grow until they bear
and the value of the fruit can b.
quickly determined. There may b.
many bootless growths, but one sucl
tree as the Eclipse, or Kinnard'
Choice, would repay all the troubl
and make rich returns for all outlay
The northern nurserymen are con
stantly originating new varieties, bu
however well they may keep there
they mature here as fall apples
Therefore we must grow our ow
apples, or do, as we have been doing
without. The few we have wer
started by accident, but with littl
care it can be done at will, with be-
ter promise of good varieties.

Poultry on the Farm.
Poultry Nation.

Poultry Nation.
Farming is made up of many home
industries and to neglect poultry as
one of the sources of income is poor
economy. AT certain seasons, when
most of the other products are dis
posed of, eggs and early broilers in
the spring and summer, and roasters
in the fall, are in the aggregate quite
an item, and many furnish all the
store supplies needed. We have al
ways maintained that the farming
class have facilities and advantages
over the ordinary village poulterer in
the way Of range and keeping them
cheaply at all seasons of the year. 1t
costs very little to keep a flock of
fowls on the farm. They usually
provide the greater share of their own
living from the stable, the orchard,
the stubble field and the straw stack.
The grain and the seed which they
pick up, if left untouched, would be
of no earthly use to the farmer, and
the worms, grubs and insects they
destroy would injure his growing
crops, vines, fruit trees, etc.

THE WEEKLY UNION, which is the best
paper of its class ever published in Tennes-
see, is complete and reliable compendium
of the home and foreign news of the week.
Special attention is paid to its features of
late and accurate market reports and an in
dustrial and agricultural department care
fully prepared for each issue, and printed
and mailed the day on which it is dated.
THE WEEKLY UNION is in these respects
equal to any of the agricultural papers, and
the farmer and country readers will find that
it gives more variety and better news than
can any of the one.idea or one.department
papers. The price of THE WEEKLY
UNION is 81 a year, and no where else can
those who are not conveniently situated as
to a daily receive as much valuable informa.
ton for that amount.
Sample copies can be obtained by applica.
ton personally or by letter.
In view of the fact that THE UNION has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its read
ers with news matter it finds it necessary to
return to its original scale of prices.
