Only one quart Of milk per cow for each
day may be the turning point between
profit aud loss in the dairy. As some cows
will yield twice AS much as others, it be-
comes the duty of the dairyman TO raise
his COWS, and use only those from good
milking families. No dairyman can sue
coed who buys fresh cows to replace those
that dry off, as the chances are against
him. No COW can be depended upon as a
mixer until she shall have been tested.

CROP REPORT.
Report Of the Department of Agriculture
on the Crop Prospects,.


on the Crop Prospects.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-The report OF the
Department of Agriculture says low tenn.
perature and deficient rainfall with driving
winds and some frost have reduced the
condition of winter wheat in the Central
States 1t has also been cool on the At
lantic coast and rot favorable to improve
ments, and yet the plant has nearly held its
own In this region. On the Pacific coast
only a medium development is reported.
In the Southern States chances are slight,
several averages being the same as last
month.
Pennsylvania shows decline Of points,
New York IL, Ohio IL, Michigan IL, Indi
ana G, Illinois Z, Missouri 2, Kansas g. The
general average is reduced 9 points from
So to %. Last year the condition was re-
duced from S. in A pril to SIS in May.
The State averages Of winter wheat in
the principal States are as follows: New
York 76, Pennsylvania 81, Virginia 20, Ohio
Sc, Michigan 81, Indiana So, Illinois 81,
Missouri 50, Kansas ~, Texas 80.
Winter rye remains very nearly as in
April. the average being 929 instead OF
1885, The condition of winter barley is $50,
promising medium crop. Spring blowing
is not quite so well advanced as usual. 1t
is relatively later in the more Northern
States Of the Atlantic coast, slightly later
than usual in the Middle States and
scarcely up to full average in the South.
Its progress Is an average in the Ohio val
ley but late in the Northwest, especially IN
Dakota.
Investigation Of the rate Of wages Of
agricultural labor shows that no material
change has occurred since the last previous
inquiry in May, 1855. There is q slight in
crease in New England, in the northern
tiers OF States from Michigan westward,
and in some OF the Southern States. There
is no appreciable change in the Central
States

TORNADO IN INDIANA.
CHICAGO May IA cyclone of tremen-
dous force whirled over a portion OF North
ern Indiana last night. The extent of its
ravages can only be guessed from few
scattering reports and the fact that the
telegraph wires throughout considerable
territory are Frustrated.
At Wlnslow siding, on the Nickel Plate
railroad a train of sixteen freig hit cars
were lifted from their wheels and distrib-
uted in pieces around the surrounding
prairies.
Information has been received that at
Wanatah a number of houses were un.
rooted and much timber in the country up
rooted.
Much alarm was felt regarding the city
of Valparaiso, which it was thought lay in
the path of the cyclone, but late dispatch
from there says the cyclone did not strike
there, but was detected two miles south.
Three hundred telegraph poles were blown
down near there.
