1t Kept the Hen HustIlng.

Mrs. David Simpson had a turkey
hen which laid thirteen eggs when
the buds began to show, and the eggs
were taken from the nest and hatch
ed by a chicken hen. As soon as her
turkey henship missed her eggs she
went to work and laid some more,
upon which she sat and Matched a
brood, which was a few days after
ward destroyed by hogs. Not whit
set back she showed her spunk and
laid eight more eggs, and set upon
them awhile, when her liege lord, the
old gobbler, lost his manliness, and
in his assumed effeminacy took the
incubation abreast his own bosom,
mortified the "lost cause" of the fe-
male to such an extent that she sat
by his side for three days, and then
from pure grief died. The encroach

elderly farmer residing seven miles
from the church. 1t was generally
known that he had some $15, 900 or
$1S, 900 in bonds and other securi-
ties, besides a large and well-stOcked

which is worth repeating. He says;
"On a recent rainy day Mrs. Lease

recognized by all the men, who bad

a taste of her own medicine. As she
passed to the other end of the car a
man looked up in a startled way and
instantly rose to give her his seat.
Don't said the man next to him,
that's Mrs. Lease. She believes in
the equality Of both sexes and all

To those who made her look so black.

The Crops and the Farmer

Farm products will be 81 100000,
600 more this year in the United
States than they have been during
the recent years of depression. At
this the estimate put forward by the
American Agriculturist in it's annual
review of the harvests, to be publish
ed in the forthcoming September is
sue of that magazine. On the basis of
present prospects this authority es-
Inmates the corn crop of 1891 at
1000, 100000 bushels, wheat 5000,-
600, 900 bushels, and oats 622 .000,-
900 bushels; against 1,500,
bushels, 100000, 1000 bushels and
524 100000 bushels respectively in
1890, and 1,7OO, 100000 bushels,
AS, 100000 bushels and SIS, 900,
900 bushels as the average for the
preceding II years. This makes the
total prospective crop of corn, wheat
and oats 2S.S per cent greater than
last year, and 14.7 per cent over the
average of the preceding IL years.
The American Agriculturist believes
that unless unexpected influences
wholly change the current of events,
the value OF corn on the farm will
average in December fully 80 cents a
bushel, wheat 81 a bushel and oats
at least 40 cents. On this basis the
corn crop to the farmers will be ST.
600, 100000, wheat $780, 100000
and oats $25O,OOO,OOO, or total of
$1,75O,000.0O0. This is $45O,OOO,-
600 more than the value of these
crops in 1890.

you have a dyspeptic look and if
your kidneys be affected you have Il
