The Crop Conditions.

Washington, August 10. The Aug.
report of the statistioian of the de-
partment of agricultural shows de
cline in corn Of nearly 2G points since
July l. The average for the entire
breadth was SOL, against 95 for the
month Of July. The condition in
August, 1898, was 81. The great de
cline is due almost wholly to the ex-
tensiye and unprecedentedly severe
drouth that set in since the last re-
port and to The hot, dry winds that
swept over the states of Nebraska,
Kansas, Iowa and parts Of other
Western states.
In some localities the crop has been
injured beyond recovery; in others
timely rains would go far towards as
suring fair yields. The averages for
the principal states are:
Ohio, 70; Kentucky, 80; Indiana, IS;
Illinois, IS; Iowa. As; Missouri, So;
Kansas, 40; Nebraska, 80; South Da-
kota, 30
The condition of spring wheat has
fallen since last report 1.3 points, be-
ing GIL, against 684 for the month
of July. The condition by states is
as follows: Wisconsin. 70; Minneso-
ia, 76i Iowa, 81; Kansas, 80; Nebras-
ka, At, South Dakota, 80; North Da
kota, rs; Washington, SO; Oregon,

from correspondents and throshers

quality.

In note in the Medical Record by
Or. William B. Noyes, Of New York,
he says:
Every new medical text book and
periodical accumulates statistics tes-
tifying to the brilliant results follow
ing the use Of cold baths in typhoid
fever. The hospitals in which this
method is chiefly carried on are al
most, without exception, showing
higher percentage of recoveries than
ever before under any other plan of
treatment.
Why IS it, then, that this method
is not universally adopted and car.
ried out in private praetiees The
answer is simple. DAISY as it is in a
hospital with an abundance Of skilled
assistance, there is no method Of
treatment in use SO difficult to carry
out properly as Tubing in typhoid
fever III private families.
1t is very easy thing to slip rub
Der blanket under the patient, and
raise the tive sidps and the ends at
the foet and head of the bed, nine or
ten inches, by row Of pillows, boil
sters, sand bags, or simple boards.
The rubber blanket ought to be
of double thickness, as large as can
be purchased, and special care must
be given to the arranging Of the cor
ners. WAl8n this is done you have
the patient at the bottom Of an i'm
pronptu bathtub, into which you can
pour water at any desired tempera-
ture, and III sufficient quantity to par
TALLY or entirely cover his body.
Only two inches Of water would be
enough to give cool sponge bath
ten times as efficacious as the ginger
ly sponging under ordinary circum-
stances, and il the sides and corners
are firmly fixed, you can easily make
this tnb hold all the water you de
sire, The water may be run from the
nearest faucet by rubber tube. I
have found it a simpler and equally
successful method to carry it in pals
and pour it over the patient, starting
with tepid and gradually cooling it
down to the desired temperature.
The neatest method, I have found
by experiment, is to use large
watering pot" with sprinkler,
such as is used for Watering plants.
This is a method which will not com
mend itself to those who dislike hum
bic and commonplace methods to ac-
complish something that more com
plicated and more impressive methods
might do.
l believe that this kind of bath
will always be grateful to the pa
tent, and if it is found necessary to
use water at 4 decidedly low tempera-
tnre, would give rise to less shock
than q sudden plunge into tub
filed with very cold water. The Of
feet on the temperature is the same
as it would be under the other
method with q stationery tub.
The water can be removed with
out spilIing q drop on the bed, by
siphoning with q rubber tube, or
dipping with small pitcher or cup,
ors ponging. Then the blanket can be
dried and left in place, covered by a
clean sheet, or, better yet, removed
and dried in the sun.
