WHEAT AND APPLES SUFFER.
The Temperature Low and Rainfall
Excessive IN Michigan.

The Temperature Low and Rainfall
Excessive IN Michigan.
April was cool wet month. The
mean weekly temperature OF the State
during the month was from two to
nearly four degrees below the normal,
and the rainfall after the 10th in excess
of the normal. The last week of the
month the rainfall was excessive, al
most drowning out wheat on low, flat
and undrained fields. The eastern
portion of the central section seems to
have suffered most. The reports were
made on Saturday, May /, before the
rains had ceased.
The average condition of wheat is as
follows: Southern counties, 81; central,
"A; northern, 81, and State, 50 per cent,
comparison being with vitality and
growth OF average years. The average
for the State in 1896 was 90, 50 in 1898,
and 80 in 1894. The condition IN the
southern counties is seven per cent
lower than one year ago.
Very little wheat will be plowed up
in the southern and northern counties
because winter killed or otherwise des-
troyed. The proportion in the central
counties is reported at IL per cent.
Correspondents in their notes COM
ment eXtendedly on the outlook, but
these notes are not quoted as the per-
centages given fairly indicate their
views.
The amount of wheat reported mar
keted by farmers in April is 500 ,45S
bushels MS compared with 4GS ,G34
bushels in April, 1896, and Sl0,226
bushels in April, 1895. and the amount
in the nine months, August-April, is
8 1854 800 bushels, rs compared with
1871 $50 bushels in the same months
last year, and 9,670,541 bushels in 1895.
The wet weather has been favorable
for grass, and the area that will be
plowed up because water-killed or
otherwise destroyed is estimated at
only per cent of the total area in the
State. In May, 1896, the percentage
was 26. The average condition in the
southern counties is so; central Sc;
northern 81, and State, SO.
Apples promise less than two-thirds,
and peaches less than one-half, of an
average crop. The figures are, south
ern counties, apples 62, peaches Al;
central counties, apples sc, peaches
"a, and northern counties, apples 70,
peaches So. One year ago apples
promised 90 per cent, and peaches 81
per cent, of an average crop.

Give the Proof of Merit in
Dr.WHEELER'S NERVE VlTALIZER

Symptoms to the inexperienced are very
deceptive. A case in point is that of Eugene
Farmer, manager of the East Saginaw Bush
ness Mems Club. In addition to sleepless-
ness, he had very direct symptoms of heart
disease, which, together with symptoms of
paralysis, no doubt caused him many anxious
thoughts, especially as the doctors with
whom he counseled and the various medi-
cines he used had no effect. Fortunately he
learned of DR.. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer
through friend. The result of its use can
best be told in his own words, as follows:
Through the kindness Of Mr. Frantz, of
Bruske's drug store, / commenced using DIR.
Wheeler's Nerve Vitalzer for a nervous diff

taken DIR. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer very
long before / was convinced it would cure
me, which it certainly did after using few
bottles"
Mr.. Farmers is not an isolated case. DIR.
Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer has and will cure
every case of nervous trouble where used.
If health has any value procure it. Iflife
is desirable prolong it. To do either you
must use DIR. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer.

AssENBLYMAN CLAsON's medical bill,
which was passed by the legislature
last week, is an important law in it's
bearing upon the practice ofmedicine
in this state. 1t creates a board of
seven, four to hold Office for two years
and three for four years. The board
shall be composed of three allopath,
two homeopathic, and two eclectic
physicians. The board shall hold
four meetings ayear-one in Madison,
one in Oshkosh, and two in Milwau-
kee. A young man who graduates
from a medical college and wants to
practice in Wisconsin, has no clear
title to that privilege. He must apply
to the board for license at one of it's
regular meetings, and must submit
to an examination both in medicine
and surgery, or present his diploma
from medical college. If the young
man is found worthy, or his diploma
is from medical college in good
standing, he shall receive a license,
providing that five or more members
of the board vote accordingly. The
law also provides that all persons be-
ginning the practice of medicine after
July l, 1897, are required to have
license from the board, and an at
tempt to practice without such H.
cense will be tineable III sum not less
than $50 nor more than 500.
