CLIMATE AND CROP REVIEW
Last Month Very Favorable for the
Badger Farmer.

The month OF July, says the official
report for Wisconsin, was very Ia
vorable for the growth and maturity
of all crops as well as for the advance
ment OF farming operations. Inc
ralrs were timely, abundant and fairly
well distributed except in the extreme
northwestern counties, where they
were excessive and did some damage
to crops. There was, however, sui
ficient dry weather, especially during
the latter part OF the month, to cure
the hay crop. which was generally put
up in EXCELLENT shape. The tempera-
ture during the early part was consid-
erably above the normal and from the
7th to sub was remarkably high, a few
stations reporting temperatures IN eZ-
cess of 100 degrees on those dates.
This condition, together with the album
dant moisture, forced crops, and es-
pecially corn, ahead to remarkable
degree and in large measure over
came the effects Of the unfaVOrable
weather during the early weeks OF the
season. Germ suffered materially from
the cold wet weather during the plant
ing season and where up was badly
damaged by the frost of June l, which
made mach replanting necessary, and
I'D until the last week in June the out
look was anything but promising. ONE
Improvement was made during the lIt-
ter part of June, but when July opened
very little work had been done III the
fields, W Oh had become very Weedy:
the plant was small and the prospect
for a good crop poor. The growth OF
this crop during the month has been
remarkable, and although it has not
received the proper cultivation IN many
instances, it has continued to advance
until it now gives promise Of a very
good crop. With favorable weather
early corn which escaped the June frost
will be out Of danger from frost by
Is, while the second plant
ing will require from five to ten days
longer for its maturity. The hay crop
proved to be better than was anticipat-
ed early in the season. The abundant
rains caused it to thicken very much,
which added both to the quantity and
quality 1t was generally put UP dur
ng the latter part Of the month and
mostly secured without being wet.
Winter wheat and rye were cut early
n the month, wheat being almost a
allure, while rye was somewhat better, |
)ut hardly more than fair crop. |
Spring wheat has made a very good |
;rop. There has been no more than |
he usual complaint of rust and insects i
md no serious damage has been re-
ported. The stand is said to be heavy,
he heads well filled, and the grain
lump. Some counties report the crop |
IS the best for several years. Barley
uttered to some extent from the cold |
weather. early in the season and the
ate frosts both damaged the quality
nd shortened the quantity Of this
cereal. The crop is considered fair.

BIT BY A TARANTULA.
Eau Claire Clerk Finds Poison IN
Tropical Fruit.

Eau Claire, Wis, Aug. 27.-Lawrence
Flagler, a grocery clerk, was bitten by
a tarantula Thursday afternoon while
pulling bananas off a bunch at his
store His arm is badly swollen. 1t
is thought he will recover, but the ply
sicianS are in doubt. Tarantula bites
in this country are so infrequent that
physicians are hardly prepared to treat
them. Many tarantl las and other
poisonous insects are found in fruit
shipped north, but generally they are in
a torpid state, and are handled with
out fear by freightmen and those who
carry the goods into the warehouses.
The excessive heat in Wisconsin early
this summer has in some cases not
only kept in full vigor and activity
the tarantulas received in northern eli
mates, but in several instances has
Matched out nests of the big poisonous
spiders. They do not live in a temper
ature of 60 degrees for "a hours.

TO THE GOLD STANDARD.
Peru Making Preparations to Make the
Change

Lima, Peru, Aug. Bel Commerce.
says editorially that the financial
measures recently submitted to and
now pending in the Peruvian congress
will without doubt lead to the adoption
of the gold standard in Peru. This
result, Ell Commerce. further says,
will not be brought about without
monetary crises more or less insense.
The gold standard, in the opinion Of
the paper, is the only remedy for
Peru's present financial strait, and
such change would be productive of
permanent good. In the meantime,
business in Peru is practically at a
standstill, and the markets are almost
in state of panic.

CONDITION OF MONEY.

New York, Aug. Shipments of
currency to the south and west Mon

treasury is doing all it can to facilitate
the transfer of currency, especially
small bills and silver dollars, to places
where money is needed for the moving
of crops, and to that end has placed the
supplies of several of the sub-treas-
uries in order that transfers might be
made as quickly as possible.
