Ignorant Superstition.

As Z result OF a benightcd condition
of mind inhur,an cruelty is too often
practiccd in tbs enlightened country.
4 horrible case of cruelty to q child
tool; place in Plymouth, Pa, the other
night. a Polish woman gave birth to q
child which wa a freak Of nature. The
child was well developed, but had six
fingers on each hand AID six toes on
each foot. The Polish midwife became
quite alarmed at the curiosity and IT,
formed the father that in order to save
the little ones life the extra fingers and
toes should be quickly amputated. Tho
father got to work with a sharp jack
knife and was not long in severing the
extra fingers and toes from hands and
feet. The operations were performed
successfully. The little child's wounds
were dressed and the blood stopped.

of sluggish streams from low lands soaked by
freshets or from marshy muddy flats on the out

this envenomed atmosphere, there is no i'm
munity save in an efficient medicinal safeguard.

a REMARKABLE LETTER.
A Prominent Professional Mans Ex'
traordinary Statement.
New York Sun.

TO the Editor:
SIR-As my name and face have appear
ed in your paper and the public prints late
ly. and as many of my professional breth-
rem are wondering at 1t, / feel 1t only
Just that l should make an explanation.
The statement published over my name
was made ten years ago, after long and
mature investigation. and / have never
changed my mind To tho facts then
stated. At that time l said, as physi-
clan, that believed Warmers Safe Cure
was the best OF all known preparations
for the troubles it was advoc ated to cure,
and say so still. know it is consid-
cred the proper thing for the medical
profession TO decry proprietary and other
advertised articles; but why should they
do so? AS the late DR.. j. q. Holland,
writing over his own name in Scribner's
Monthly, said
1T is q fact that many OF the best
proprietary medicines OF the day are
more successful than many physicians,
and most of them were first discovered
orused in actual medical practice; when,
however, any person knowing their vir-
tue and foreseeing their popularity Sc
cures and advertiSes them, in the opinion
of the bigoted all virtue went out Of
them"
DR.. Holland was an educated physi-
clan, an unprejudiced observer, and he
spoke from broad and unusual expert
ence. Proprietary medicines should not
be decried. The evidences of their
value are overwhelming. [ have seen
patients recover from gravel inhamma-
ton of the bladder, and Bright's disease.

ment over that OK fourteen days ago.
The weather has been 30 wet and cold
that In some of the best counties In this
important area Of the winter-wheat
belt the crop has n sickly appearance,
and some fields are turning yellow.
In Michigan the weather has been
cool and wet Wheat has made slow
growth, and, on the whole, the crop has
held its own. Spring work Is back
ward, and there have been but few oats
seeded yet Farmers are selling but
little wheat, and millers are carrying
small stocks. Prices are low, and
farmers will carry over good deal un-
less the prices advance considerably.
Central Kansas reports during the
last few days that there has been some
slight Improvement in the winter wheat
situation 1t is still small in growth,
but is stooling out well. In Northern
Kansas harvest will be ten days late.
The crop has made slow growth, as the
ground is packed from too much heavy
rain. The general conditions are not
as good as those of q year ago. The
season is late and the outcome mixed.
Southern Kansas reports that they have
had little growing weather SO FAR; that
the wheat harvest will be from two to
three weeks later than last season. The
late sown is a better stand than the
early.
Southern Missouri reports that the
wheat is still small, and that with hot
and dry weather i'm the near future the
crop will not amount TO much, but If the
weather continues cool and damp the
prospects are for a good crop; not as
large as was made last year, however
A tro1 n,.i
says that "he goes a cool deal on the
pulse of the farmers" they are quiet
now on the wheat question. and so long
as they .eep quiet he considers the crop
in fair shape; but the crop is not as good
by 20 per cent. as it was this time last
year.
Condition OF Corn.
BY the end of the third week in April
at least two-thirds of the corn lands of
the great corn surplus States of the
West ought to be plowed and ready for
planting. Such, however, was not the
case this spring. 1t is only on lands
which have been undetermined, and
those are lands confined to the States OF
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, where there
has been any progress i'll blowing for
corn worth reporting.
In Kansas and Missouri there has
been little corn planted, but no mat
ter how much land was ready, with the
ground cold, wet, and soggy it would be
simply the height of folly to attempt to
put the seed in the ground for it would
only rot and have to be replanted.
There has been little land plowed for
corn in Iowa, and the great surplus corn
State, Nebraska has made no Roadway
with this most important crop.
The reserves of old corn in farmers
hands are still firmly held, and with the
lateness of the season, the backward
ness with the work on the farms. and
the uncertainty which must necessarily
follow a season like the present farmers
will not be inclined to sell their surplus
after corn planting, as they usually do
at that season of the year. Hence the
surplus corn this spring will be carried
over until late in the fall if not until the
opening of 1893

Spring Troubles.

Farmers and all other persons who
are exposed to the weather in out-of-
door pursuits have cause to dread this
season Of the year. They work and
overhead themselves, and then, be-
coming suddenly chilled, they con-
tract a cold which settles in their
back. This is the experience of great
many people. The result is rheuma-
tism, or pneumonia, or pleurlsy. The
real reason is that the cold has af-
fected their kidneys, and all these
maladies come from disabling those
organs. If they will take REDS GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE they
will find that it is certain and never
failing remedy for all troubles of this
sort. 1t contains nothing deleterious,
nothing that can injure them in the
slightest degree, and there is no dam
ger from an overdose, but it is the
best remedy for all maladies that arise
from a cold. Ask your druggist for
it, and if he will not get it for you
write to us. Small bottles 20 cents,
large ones so cents.

Cold ana backward.

SO far we have had poor spring for
getting anything into the ground, and
it seems almost an impossibility to get
ii out even after ii is in. This situation
has been brought about by an excess OF
moisture, a lack of sunshine, and low
degree of temperature. The grass has
made slow growth, the winter wh9 at
ditto, and the oat crop is now only be-
ginning TO break through the ground.
These conditions have been general
all through the lower lake regions, the
Ohio Valley, the Upper Mississippi and
the Missouri Valley, and when we travel
into the extreme Northwest we find all
these conditions in much more aggra-
waited form. A year ago at this time all
over these areas the weather was favor
able, the growing crops in excellent
condition, the oats were practically all
seeded, and blowing for corn was in
progress. The last week OF April, 1891 +,
closed with the whole Northwest and
Southwest under full Roadway.
The wonderful revolution in farm ma
chinery us applied to putting in and
gathering the oat crop has pushed this
important crop rapidly to the front dur
ing the last few years and in area it now
comes next TO the corn crop. Dat seed
ing commenced the present season the
last week of March, but before much
was put into the ground heavy rain
storms put stop to seeding. Since
April l the weather has been cold,
cloudy, and wet, and as soon as the
ground would get into condition to work
more rain would follow. The conse-
quence is that, taking the country over,
not the usual acreage has been put in
this spring, and large proportion of
that has been sown under great diff
Guilty On low, fat land, where the
water has stood, the crop has more or
less rotted. Last year, although the
seeding of oats was late, the crop was
all in the ground by April 10. The
seeding of oats will end practically
with this week. In one sense of the
word the cloudy weather, with the
ground SO full of moisture, has been a
favorable character in the history of the
newly-sown crop; on the advent of warm
clear weather we ought to see rapid
growth in this crop. There are, how
ever, few fields to-day which look green
and show an even stand.
Nebraska reports that they are only
now just finishing up the seeding OF the
crop, that the job SO far has been poor
ly done. A large percentage of it was
practically "mudded in, land the earliest
sown is coming up slowly. The ground
and atmosphere are cold and damp and
warm sunshine with occasional showers
greatly needed.
In Iowa about two thirds of the oats
are now in the ground. On account Of
the low temperature vegetation OF all
kinds is making little Roadway.

Spring Wheat.

west OF the MISSOURI hlVer III NOrtn
Dakota spring wheat seeding is going
on. On the east side of the river, owing
to so much moisture, they have barely
commenced. Under the most favorable
circumstances, through the Red River
Valley on the Dakota side, il will take
three weeks Of most favorable weather
for the ground to get into condition to
let farmers onto the ground. OF course
there will be isolated places where some
spring wheat can be seeded, but general
seeding cannot begin before the first of
May. This is a month or six weeks late,
and with these conditions frost is liable
to catch the crop in August.
In South Dakota the wheat is practi-
cally all sown. The seeding is some
what later than usual, but the soil is in
fine condition, which will counterbal-
ance that, probably, in the end The
weather, however, keeps cold, with
more or less freezing every night There
have been some few reports of seed rot
ting in the ground.
In Central Minnesota about one-half
of the spring wheat has been sown.
None of the early sown has come up yet.
Seeding will not be finished until May
l. The situation in this portion of the
State indicates an increase of acreage,
due more to the opening of new farms
than TO increasing old ones. In South
ern Minnesota most Of the farmers are
entirely through sowing wheat. There
has been little oats or barley sown yet.
There is plenty of moisture in the
ground, and wheat is just coming up.
The weather is cold and warm growing
weather greatly needed.
