THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

Smaller Yield Than Last Year-COrn In
jured by Drouth and Damp.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 10.-The month
ly crop report says:
The average yield in corn in seven states
is: Ohio. 90 bushels: Indiana, %; Illinois.
25S; Iowa, IS; Missouri, %; Kansas, 1913;
Nebraska, 2s.7. The average yield for
buckwheat is AL bushels per acre. In
New York, 14.7; Pennsylvania, 14.5;
Wisconsin, 1875; Iowa, 1O7. The yield of
corn averages, on November returns. is
224 bushels per acre, and promises an ag-
gregate production of little more than
100000 900, bushels, while that other great
bread grain, wheat. which by the returns
of last month pointed to product based
on acreage investigation that is nearly
perfected. will not exceed 500, 600. 900
bushels. with the possibility of shrinkage
in the spring, and is certainly of light
weight.
In the Northern states on the Atlantic
coast the crop has ripened we'll. In the
cotton states 1t was injured somewhat by
excessive moisture, causing rot and mold
in some districts, shortened by drought.
In Ohio the crop is well cured but
chaffy from drying too rapidly. The yield
was very uneven, ranging from ten to
sixty bushels per acre.
The Indiana production is in good con-
dition on early planted and better than
expected on late planting. and in view of
the long-continued drought the local
yields were extremely variable. There is
much complaint of the lightness of the
ears and looseness in the cob in Illinois,
and the same variability in the yield and
quality elsewhere 1t is we'll dried out
and unchanged by drought. Some was
injured by being cut and shocked too
early There is much chaify corn and the
average weight will be light.
Iowa corn has ripened the heavy frosts
Being delayed until the last week in Octo-
Der but late planted is shriveled from the
rapid drying of immature ears. Part of
the crop is sound and good and a portion
is very light. Low lying areas were dam
aged by excessive moisture in the early
summer.
The wet weather in the spring and the
drought in the summer reduced the guam
tity and quality in Missouri.
The average in Kansas is reduced bv the
low yield of seed corn, which, of course,
is included in the aggregate.
Nebraska corn, early planted, ripened
thoroughly. Some of the latest planting
was piowed up and sown TO wheat The
variability of the yield makes it difficult
to f. fair average. In low places there
was some injury from frosts.
The estimated yield of potatoes is So
bushels per acre. 1t is 81 in Maine, So in
New YORK. 80 in Pennsylvania. 50 in Mich
igan, 20 in Minnesota, 81 in Iowa and AZ in
Kansas. The crop almost everywhere is
light. The tubers are small as a rule, and
are rotting considerably in New YORK and
throughout the West.
The yield of tobacco is less than last
year, the average being reported at $50
pounds per acre for all kinds, against 7s4
for last year.
The average yield of hay is LIZ tons per
acre, nearly the same as 1891.

up their votes thick and fast, and he was elected
by majority of ten votes. The opposition to
him was strong owing to Hart having for the
past month been out daily on the stump spe-

service to the whole Republican ticket through
out the whole of the south end OF the county.

Literarv InsDiratiOn.

"Do you know" said the author, II am
q firm believer in inspiration, and believe
it is far more common among authors than
most people suppose. The poets by no
means monopolize it. In almost every
authors work there are sentences, scenes
or chapters that are genuine inspirations,
born of the moment, flashing upon the
authors mind without the least warning.
In my own case many Of the best things
have written have come to me in that way.
See here, let me show you how l work"
and he took a long blank book from his
desk. '"This is the kind of a book l write
the first drafts of my stories in before hay
ing them copied on typewriter.
''You see, write on only one side of the
page, while on the other side you will see
occasional lines hastily jotted down di-
agonally across the page. Those are my
inspirations and they come about in this
way: While I am writing suddenly an
idea will pop into my head, often utterly
irrelevant to the particular part of the
work on which am engaged-some scene
later on in my story, or it may be only
sentence or two-the happy expression OF
some thought. I turn instantly and jot it
down on the opposite page, then go on with
my work, and when I have reached the
point in my story where my inspiration is
needed turn back and copy it.
81 used to try to remember these things,
believing that when l wanted the sentence
the association of ideas would bring it back
to me, but 1 found that unwise. These
little inspirations in my case, are very
feeting, and have to nail them at once OF

A Clever Horse.

This story shows the intelligence OF n
Kentucky roam, which was left in an open
paddock fastened by means Of wooden
hasp. This he learned in few days to
take out with his teeth and drop on the
ground, only to have it carefully replaced
by the stable boy, who displayed wonder
full intuition about discovering it. Finally,
when it became plain to his horseish I'M
derstanding that there was nothing to be
gained by such performance, he tried the
experiment of carrying it over to the far
ther side of the fence and letting it fall
into neighboring yard.
Now it 30 happened that his owner
caught him in the act and relentlessly went
and fastened him in again; then from a
distance he watched to see what would
come next. As he had expected, the horse
diligently loosened the stick again, but
now comes the queer part Of it-instead of
putting it in any of the old places he gave
one defiant snort and laboriously set to
work to eat it up. If his object was the
total humiliation of the hasp there is no
doubt he accomplished 1t fully. All of
which goes to prove what splendid disre-
gard of splinters and a little ingenuity will
accomplish. Chicago News.

If man has a corn it can be removed,
but If he is suffering from rubber foot
fever no chiropodist can help him, and the
only thing to prescribe is liberal bathing
of the feet and removal of the cause. Rub
bers should only be worn to keep wet out,
and they should be removed the moment
the wearer gets indoors. Failure to note
this gives man wet feet in a far worse
sense than if he had waded through mud
ankle deep.
1t was the trouble resulting from fore
ing the perspiration to soak the stockings
and keep the feet perpetually damp that
drove rubber soled boots out of the mar
ket. Even loose rubbers are source of
danger, and the cause of many more seri-
GUS colds than they avert.-India Rubber

Hours of Sleep for Children and Adults.

A German specialist, DR.. Cold, pleads for
giving young people more sleep. A healthy
Infant sleeps most of the time during the
first weeks, and in the early years people
are disposed 30 let children sleep as much
rs they will But from six or seven, when
school begins, there is a complete change.
At the age of ten or eleven the child sleeps
only eight or nine hours, when he needs at
least ten or eleven, and as he grows older
the time of rest is shortened. DR.. Cold be-
ieves that up to twenty youth needs
nine hours sleep and an adult should have
eight or nine. With insufficient sleep the
nervous system, and brain especially, not
resting enough and ceasing to work nor
mally, we find exhaustion, excitability and
intellectual disorders gradually taking the
place of love of work, general well being
and the spirit of initiative.-London Tit

The age of 80 is a hard corner for woman to
turn and IS is still harder. She feels that she is
fast leaving her youth behind her. But there 10
no reason why a woman should be faded and

early fading of American women is found in the
fact that many of them suffer from some form OF
