Michigan Crop Report.

For this report on wheat more than
LOO returns have been received, repre-
Eenting all parts of the state. The cor
respondents estimate the yield per acre
in bushels and not in percentage of
previous or average crops. The average
of the estimates for the state and each
section Is as follows: State, 9.88
bushels; southern counties, Ola
bushels; central counties, lib bushels;
northern counties, 11.S2 bushels, and
upper peninsula, IA bushels. The esti-
mate for the state Is the lowest ever
made July 1; it is nearly bushels
lower than the estimate of July 1, 1894,
and nearly bushels lower than the
average yield in the eighteen years,
1S76-1893.
The light crop is mainly because of
the drouth that has prevailed all the
season and still continues, yet other
causes have worked more or less in
Jury. A correspondent well says:
Light top last fall, freezing and thaw-
ing in spring, frosts in May, and drouth
in April, May and June" To these
should be added extensive damage by
insects.
The number of bushels Of wheat re-
ported marketed in June Is 522,311 as
compared with S66,361 reported market
ed in June, 1894, and the amount mar
keted in the eleven months. August
June, is IL, $50, 800 bushels as compared
with 14,29S,306 bushels in the same
months last year.
The acreage planted to corn Is slight
ly In excess Of the acreage, and the
condition is 81 per cent of condition, in
average years.
Oats are estimated at 81 per cent of
an average crop. The average for the
southern counties Is only 81 per cent.
The acreage planted to potatoes is 6
per cent in excess of average years, and
in condition the crop promises sc per
cent of an average. Corn and potatoes
seem to have stood the drouth remark
ably we'll. II an abundance Of rain
comes soon both crops may be expected
to yield fairly well.
Meadows and pastures were probably
never In poorer condition at this date,
and the spring seeding to clover Is
nearly all lost.
The outlook for apples and peaches
Is not encouraging. The former prom
ises perhaps one-third, and the latter
five-eighths of an average crop.

Mr.. O'Shea, the author of the book,
gave the following description of an
adventure he had with a herd of ele-
phants. He said: "a young friend
asked me once to show him some ele-
phants, and l took him along with me,
having first borrowed an apron filled
with oranges. This he was to carry
while accompanying me in the stable,

bad to get back to the door. Every ele-
plant in the herd had his greedy gaze
focused on that orange. 1t was as
much as my life was worth to give 1t
to any one of them. What was to do?
held 1t up conspicuously, coolly
peeled it, and ate it myself. 1t was
most amusing to notice the way those
elephants nudged each other and shook
their ponderous sides. They thor
oughly entered into the humor of the
thing"

E2udite Commission Now Selecting o
Site for Rio Janeiro.
Rio de Janeiro, the capital OF Brazil
HIS VIGOROUSLY bad climate. 1t Is a
fastness of yellow fever and subtle trop-
zeal ailments, and the death rate is so
alarmingly high as to seriously affect
the commercial prosperity of the city.
Some time ago the Brazilian govern
ment took in hand the question Of re-
moving their capital and appointed a
scientific commission to fix site, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. The commits
sion have selected a plateau which
should be a real land Of promise to the
transmigrants from the coast. The
spot Is between the parallels Of Is de-
grees 40 minutes and 16 degrees s Sec
onos south, ana the .meridians Of 40 de-
grces 30 minutes and 81 degrees west.
1t is over 1000 feet above the level of
the sea and it's temperature resembles
that of middle France. There is plenty
of water for agriculture and no yellow
fever. The journey by railway from
the coast Is a matter Of some eighteen
hours. This is believed to be the first
occasion on record in which science has
been called In to choose the ate Of a
capital.
