-ABORERS WANTED BADLY.
Forty Thousand Farm Hands Needed to
Care for the Crops of the Northwest.

Forty Thousand Farm Hands Needed to
Care for the Crops of the Northwest.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July S0.-There is
panic among Dakota farmers lest they
be unable to harvest their great wheat
crop now being cut in the southern part
of South Dakota. Central South Da-
lxota begins its wheat harvest in a week
or ten days, and near Huron farmers
are especially anxious. 1t is estimated
that from 200 to 400 laborers are needed
in each county in South Dakota east of
the Missouri river. This means 10000
laborers. Southern Minnesota needs
help IN the harvest field also, and North
Dakota will begin harvesting in two or
three weeks. Altogether conservative
estimates are that 10000 laborers are
needed within the next month in order
to harvest the immense grain crop of
the northwest. The acreage is little
less than last year but the yield prom
ises to be equally great, if only the crop
can be secured. The farmers also prom
ise good wages and abundant work,
thrashing following close on cutting
and giving many weeks employment
at an average of two dollars day.

grain is fed in a trough consisting OF
two boards joined together, as shown in
end view, one beng six and the other
twelve inches in width and both of the
same length as the rack. The trough
is attached by hinges to the front OF
the rack at point midway between A
and C and can be lowered for grain
feeding and fastened up out of the way
when the grain is eaten, as shown in
Fig. l. All lumber used should be
planned on one side at least and the
grain trough should be planed on both
sides. The hay racl of itself is good
one and rives good satisfaction used
alone The grain-feeding attachment
is easily and cheaply made, occupies nc
room when not in use and makes the
rack complete.-C. f. Curtiss, lows

800 Were Frustrated.
New YORK, July S0-Friday was the
worst and most malignant day of all
the eight of affection before the almost
unprecedented hot visitation came to
an end The heat-weary ana worn out
inhabitants of the metropolitan region
arose in the morning-most of them
from sleepless pillows-and looked
eagerly for some sign of the promised
relief Instead of GOODNESS in the air it
was hotter than ever.
The wind was from the south and
blew only miles an hour during the
morning. The heat in the streets
steadily increased. Horses fell down
in the traces and died. All the up and
down street cars were stopped at times
until the horses that blocked the tracks
could be relieved. The teams were re-
lieved every mile along the lines. but
even with that they toppled over every
few blocks. Five principal street car
companies have lost more than 200
horses in these eight days.
During the day there were reported
ninety-four deaths directly attributable
to the heat, and over 800 prostrations.
One hundred and seventy persons have
died of the heat in New York and its
suburbs during these memorable eight
days
Half dozen physicians have been
kept in the sugar refineries in Williams
burg and Green Point by the American
Sugur Refineries Company and they
have treated over 200 men since the
hot wave came. Eight of these men
died. The cases were not reported to
the police.
In Brooklyn the deaths from sun
stroke Friday were twenty-seven.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 30.-Mrs.
Brown, wife of Gov Brown, was pros
trated by the heat Friday and now lies
at the Hotel Rennert in a critical con-
dition. Mrs. Brown had just come
back from Ocean City, where, with her
husband, she attended the ball of the
season last Saturday. Mrs. Brown is
beautiful woman and one of the lead
ers in Maryland society. She was
about to visit her dressmaker when
overcome in the street. There are four
docto in attendance tonight.
PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-Twenty-
nine deaths were added to the results of
the hot weather Friday, but relief is
now a. hand. A thunderstorm burst
upon the city at night and the tempera-
ture has fallen several degrees.

SCIENTIFIC authorities in Europe are
about equally divided on the question
of whether railroads aid in the spread
ing of epidemic diseases, as cholera and
yellow fever. At one time the diseases
travelled by the slOw-moving caravan,
but now they go by express trains NOV
ing from forty to fifty miles al hour.
Still it is acknowledged that they carry
off fewer people than they did several
centuries ago One reason Is that the
telegraph puts cities OF their guard.
Another is that doctors aud remedies
are transported faster and means of
combating diseases improved to a great
erextent than those of spreading them.
