A drive through our surrounding
country Just at this season, when the
hay fields are far too busy to suit the
grasshoppers,a and the pitch-forks, tine
and handle, glisten in the sun, gives
one good heart for his daily tasks
and just the rosiest kind of hopes for
the future. A more prosperous look
ing lot Of farms than are to be seen
along the valleys and uplands about
our Guiet town, are scarcely to be
found anywhere. New England has
her coy orchards, Of course, and
Michigan has better ones; and HoOsier-
dom, if we are to believe her dearest
poet, is high old place to live in
while it's June; but to the dweller in
the st. Croix valley who at any time
passes through New England, there is
an uneasiness because of the innumer-
able stone walls and limited distances,
a sensation of being crowded, lack
OF elbow room. As to Indiana in July,
Why, it's the deadest, sullenest, old
stew pan that ever simmered under
hot sun. But here in Wisconsin
where the woods still fringe the bluffs
and water runs gaily in the valley,
who minds the stone wall or the all
summer drought? Why, nobody-no-
body minds even the populist! Now
and then the fragrant chlnch bug
comes in for little after dinner COM
ment, but he arrived late this year
too late, it is hoped, to do his hateful
best. And so, If you go out OF an aft
ernoon. along the winding highways,
you see finer sight than was ever set
IN stageland. Toward Centerville,
especially, where the farms look neat
well-kept and independent, but to-
ward Prescott, or up the Kinnickin-
mic valley,-indeed, along any Of the
prominent roads, as well, the country
side looks surprisingly prosperous and
almost Self-sufficiup.

The Weather and the Crops.

The indications were abundant in
the early sunshiny days of spring that
with favorable conditions for their
development chintz bugs would be
unusually numerous. The air was
full of these flying pests seeking
Matching places. The long cold wet
spell that retarded the early start of
seeds was a saving factor in the
ultimate development and maturity
of small grains, since it prevented the
that does the damage to grain-until
the grain had attained considerable
growth toward maturity. Rye, of
which a large area was sOwn last fall,
is fully ripe with no perceptible
damage from chintz bugs. Barley,
which is an average crop, is out of the
way of the rayages of the pests,
although the ground in the rye and
barley fields is red with minute and
actiye young bugs. Wheat is not
sufficiently matured to escape damage.
Indeed many fields are already show
ing by the whitening straw that the
damage is likely to be considerable.
Corn will undoubtedly suffer to some
extent from the ravages of the chintz
bugs after the harvesting of small
grains.
The warm wet weather of the last
month has fastened the growth Of
oats while it has developed weak,
sappy straw and large areas in the oat
fields show the straw to be badly
lodged from the heavy rains of the
last few days.
The hay crop is not a fair average,
the weather, although furnishing
sufficient moisture, was too cold for a
stout crop of grass. The crop will
also be badly damaged by rains after
the moving. Corn was predicted a
failure month ago, but the favorable
weather of the last three weeks has
given it such a remarkably rapid
growth that the outlook is good for a
fair crop. The stand however is
below the average, owing to the
backward spring with too much rain
and too little sunshine. Potatoes
have made vigorous growth and the
stand is excellent. A smaller area
was planted than in either Of the past
two years. Potato bugs are numer-
Gus and persistently troublesome.
The weather has been favorable for
the catch of grass seed sown in the
spring, and there appears to be moro
land seeded to grasses this year than
usual, in consequence, probably, of
the low price Of clover and timothy
seed. The harvesting of rye is under
way. and next week barley will be
harvested. Although it was predict
ed that the frost had killed the straw
berry crop of Wisconsin the crop has
been very good and the berries of
excellent quality. The raspberry
crop is also abundant in this locality
and the report is current that the
blue-berry crop will be large. The

strawberries, raspberries and black
berries in the South which has kept
the markets abundantly supplied, has
cheapened the price of berries at
home. Altogether the prospect is
pretty fair for sufficient quantity of
food stuffs to keep the human soul
and body in association and to fatten

The Farmers Outlook.

The statements Of the fiscal year
just ended show that the agricultural
element of the country has enjoyed
a greatly improved condition during
the past year, while other statements
received here are equally gratifying as
to the prospects for the coming year.
The expectations of breadstuffs dur
ing the year ending June 30, 1897,
amounted to s1s9, 1898, s28 in value
against sl36, $40, s45 in the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1896, and $40, 967, 1873
in the fiscal year ending June 80, 1895.
This is an increase of S53,OO0,000 in
the pockets Of the farmers for the
year just ended for breadstutfs alone,
as compared with the preceding year,
and an increase of $40, 100000 COM
pared with the year 1895. Tie expOr-

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that I'M
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine yor should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
mail. Mention THE RIVER Fails JoURN-
AL and send your address to DIR. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, n. Y. The proprie-
tor of this paper guarantees the genuine
ness of this offer.

MARRIED.

CLARK-HAYNEs.-At the home OF the
brides father, Mr.. n. b. Haynes in
Mankato, Mimi, July 81, 1897, Prof. l..
II. Clark of this city and Miss Cora
Haynes, recently a member of our
Normal School faculty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark will be at home
after September Both.
From some unpublished reports
that have cropped out lately, it would
appear that the recent decision of
Judge Bailey in the Willow River fish
cases was hardly final settlement.
1t seems that several chance en-
counters that have occurred between
venturesome farmers and members of
the Pleasure Club have resulted in
plenty of farce comedy as well as
some little swapping of blows. A
farmer took down his tackle one eve
ming not long ago and strayed into the
Clubs preserves to whip out few
trout for breakfast. For this piece
of imprudence several of the club
men gave him a severe ducking in the
stream and sent him home quite out
of breath-and temper. Later he
organized a posse Of his incensed
neighbors, sixteen strong, and
together they began openly to patrol
the stream inside the preserves.
Another encounter took place, even
as the sky-larkers expected, but in
this instance it developed into free
for all fight with all sorts of rough
language and some little letting of
blood.
