CROP PROSPECTS.

The Latest Reports Show q Falling on
Owing to the Continued Dry Weather.
CHICAGO, July 30.-The following ap-
pears in the Farmers Review: The ma
iority of our correspondents in Missouri,
Kentucky and Minnesota report local
showers that have in measure revived
psrched fields One-third of our Ohio
correspondents report local rains, but
the uniform report from other parts OF
the State is, very dry" Except in a
few scattering counties drought is gen.
eral throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and the Dakotas
The effect of this widespread drought
is most marked upon the potato crop,
the present condition of which is 40 per
cent lower than last year at this season
From the present outlook the Dakotas
and Minnesota are the only States that
promise any thing like fair crop
A great decline has taken place in
the condition of corn during the past
two weeks The Dakotas are the only
States that apparently maintain high
average and in these States the condi-
ton is not uniform. The reports from

below the average, while in the majority
of instances the reports range from
100 to 125 per cent. Since our last re-
port the general averages have fallen
off Is points in Ohio, Kentucky and Ne
braska; in Kansas the decline amounts
to 125 points; in Illinois, Indiana, Mis-
souri, and Minnesota it ranges from to
10 points.
No marked change is observable in
Nebraska and Iowa reports relative to
spring wheat, but in Minnesota and the
Dakotas the averages of condition have
declined several points. We summarize
as follows the reports of our correspond
ents:

THE KANSAS DROUGHT.
Light Rain MISUNDERSTANDING Noble
Advises Planting For Feed.

A Light Rain Notwithstanding Mohler
Advises Planting For Feed.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. IA light rain
fell here yesterday afternoon. 1t was
not enough to do the crops any good,
but it cooled the atmosphere and broke
the heat which had been excessive for
the past four days.
Hon. Martin Mohler, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, said: Il
have no information as to the extent of
the rain, but if it had covered the whole
State its benefits would be limited,
so far as the corn is con-
cerned. There is much corn in
all portions of the State, especially in
the western and southern portions of
the State, that is totally beyond help,
and no amount of rain could be of any
benefit to it There is larger area, of
course, that is not so badly off and that
good rain now would help, making a
yield of, say, so to 40 per cent of crop.
In Eastern and Northern Kansas good
rains nov and for the next two weeks
will give a yield of from 80 to so per
cent of an average crop. Aside from
corn, however, rains will be of great
benefit to all portions of the State.
Pastures are scorched and water is
scarce Good rains will start
the pastures afresh and may per-
haps produce a fair crop of late hay,
which would be fine thing for the
farmers. The indications now are, as
suming that the rain did not extend

crop will be lighter in Kansas than in

Good Northwest Crops.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 1.-The
best authorities estimate the wheat
crop of the present season in Dakota
and Minnesota at 100, 600, 600 bushels.
Colonel G. D. Rogers made a guess a
year ago and although he started out
10, 900 above all other crop prophets,
bull or bear, he came out of
the wheat campaign with colors
flying, for he hit just little un-
der the mark. President Greenleaf
of the Chamber of Commerce is a pretty
good prophet and he agrees with Colonel
Rogers as to the total production. He
places Minnesota at 40, 0o0 600 bushels
and the Dakotas at &c, OoO, 600.

A BOA IMPERATOR.
Rare Reptile Brought to Chicago In
Bunch of Bananas.


DR.. Joseph L. Hancock, the natural
ist, has Just forwarded to the United
States National Museum at Washington
young boa about three feet in length
and an inch and half in diameter at
the middle of the body. "The speci-
men," says DR.. Hancock, sis of more
than ordinary interest, inasmnch as it
was transported all the way from Aspin-
wall to Chicago wrapped about the stem
of bunch of bananas, and fell into my
possession through the kindness of Dr.
Martin Matter, who obtained it from
one of the employees of grocery
store on Wabash avenue in this
city. The specimen dropped from a
bunch Of bananas onto the side
walk when about to be carried into the
store by one of the men, and was after
wards caught and placed in glass
fronted cracker-box. Insects, frogs and
toads were placed in the box as an ex-
pertinent, but these it rather regarded
as companions than as food. AS starva-
tion seemed imminent l hit upon a
novel idea of joining several small pieces
of glass tubing together with bits of
rubber fastenings, forming a hollow
flexible rod, through which warm milk
was fed directly into the snakes mouth,
which sustained life during the period
it was confined in the box for a number
of weeks here.
II have just received from Prof. G.
Brown Goode, of the Smithsonian In
stitution, a communication in which he
says the Curator of Reptiles, DR.. Leon
hard Stegneger, of. the National Mus
cum, had examined the living specimen
sent, and pronounced it young boa
imperator,' species closely allied to
the South American boa constructor but
confined to Central America. Chicago

WHAT DOES IT MEAiI2

What IL the Cause of the Great Farmers'
Movement.
The air is full OF rumors concerning
the Farmers movements In various sec
tons OF the country and politicians arc
stirred up as never before. A new POI
litical party and the smashing OF old
ones are hinted,' and in some sections u
new party not only advocate ted, but act
ually placed in operation. Every thing.
upon every side, so far Us the farmer is
concerned, shows unrest and dissatis-
faction with the present state of affairs.
On August IS the staid, steady, plod-
ding farmers OF Ohio met in convention
at Columbus, and II was grand out
pouring OF the sturdy ycomanry OF the
State.
Now, what does all this mean? What
cause has the farmer for being so stirred
up and dissatisfied? II one had COM
piete cyclopaedia OF the causes before
him he could not more accurately tell,
than can the farmer who has thought
and studied over passing events, and
felt the heavy shadow of coming pow
erty overshadowing him through tho
merciless action OF unjust and class
legislation. 1t is idle, 1t is foolish for
any one to assume that American Ag
riculture is in good and improving con-
dition as did reputable United
States Senator not many days ago
upon the floor Of the Senate. We do
not assume that agriculture is upon its
last legs, or that the farmer is so much
OF an imbecile that he can not right all
wrongs, but we do assert without fear
OF successful contradiction, that for the
past twenty-five years legislation. both
National and State, has been vicious;
for the few against the many, and the
farmer generally made the pack-horse.
Space could not permit the recital OF all
the wrongs committed by our law
makers not only against the farmer,
but against the masses OF the people OF
all occupations.
Glass legislation is ono OF the curses
OF the age, and must be stopped; parti-
sanship Is another, and deserves the
condemnation OF all farmers, for through
it they have too long been separated;
but the day is breaking, apd by this up
rising of the farmers OF the Nation will
come the unification of the people, with
tho one object OF purifying all coTrup,
places and securing government ''of
the people, by the people and for the
people,"
This movement meahs that the "Old
Guard" has been called into service, and
as did Cincinnatus of old, so arc the
farmers of to-day, leaving their plows
standing in the burrows and responding
to the call OF patriotism and the cause
of freedom.
