WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

LITTLE ROCK, June 27.-Such rain as has occurred was in the shape oi local showers and where it fell 1t was of much benefit tV growing crops. High temperatures have pre- vailed, encouraging q rapid growth of vegetation.
 Cotton is growing fast and is a promising crop, though along the Upper Arkansas much overflowed land that was replanted in cotton will be abandoned, the rains having been so frequent as to prevent the proper working Of the crops: the same condition exists in Chicot county. Corn is most promising crop and is in all stages of advance ment, from st above ground to full silk and tassel; ears are forming on the earliest plantlngs; much corn is being laid hy in good condition. Wheat thrashIng is in progress and the yield is up te expectations. ex cept in few localities where rust oecu"ing late In the season cut the crop short. Oats nearly all cut and in shock. As q general thing the grain is very fins though the straw is short. All minor crops are prom .ising and grasses and the range are better than foryears.

A THREATENED OUTBREAK
IS THE RUMOR IN MINNESOTA
The Game Wardens Claim That
There Is Danger of Another In
dian Uprising Near Sank Rapids
Tried to Arrest Chippewas Carry
ing Deer.

|, ST. Paul, Dec. 4.-Another uprising OF
the Chippewa Indians is threatened. The
game warden at Sauk Rapids has had a
fight with ii OF the red men, whom he
attempted to arrest, and he was badly
whipped. State Game Warden Fullerton
has ordered that the Indians be taken into
custody, be the result what it may. The
Indians declare they will resist all at.
tempts to capture them, and will organize
rebellion.
The Sauk Rapids deputy met the In
dams in the woods, and as every one was
carrying the carcass of deer, he at
tempted to arrest them ON a charge OF
having violated the game laws. In the
fight that followed the deputy was Sc
verely punished, and his rifle taken from
him. The Indians warned him against
following them, declaring they would new.
er be taken alive, and threatening to be.
gin shooting the moment posse appear
ed in sight.
Game Warden Fullerton has notified the
authorities that he will pursue the In.
dians with a posse and serious trouble is
feared.

CAMELS AS AGRICULTURISTS.
Have Been Used for Centuries as IA
Drawer of the Plow.

Camels are familiar to us in almost
every capacity which beast OF burden
can fulfill, except as plow horses.
Mongolian camels carrying chests of
tea; African camels carrying men of all
sorts and colors up the Nile; Turkish and
Arab women inclosed in little square
boxes of cloth, with peepholes in them;
lion cubs and young rhinoceroses in cages
slung between a pair OF Somali camels on
their way to the coast; Indian camcls
of old-fashioned rajahs, with swivel guns
fitted to saddles on their backs, or draw.
ing carts carrying secluded in their inter
ior bejeweled Hindoo ladies-all these are
no longer novelties. But the camel as
agriculturist appears in a new part to
US. He has, however, been used in this
capacity Tor centuries in Algeria, where
this view was taken. The plow is OF the
prehistoric kind, such as has been in use
in the east long before historic times be
gan. The popularity Of the arrangement
is the immense yoke by which the two
camels are fastened, and from which they
draw the plow. The yoke rests on pads
where the camels' necks joins their shoul
tders, and to this the pole is attached by
ropes OF esparto grass. The popularity
OF this arrangement is that the plow can
be shifted along the yoke, and all the wide
space between the pair Of camels is plowed
in line across the plain. The plow is
then lifted and another set OF furrows are
run parallel at distance OF some yards

GROWING vIoLETs IN WINTER
How to Treat the Plants to Make
Them Flower.

In order to make violets bloom success
fully in winter they should about this
time be put in pots or boxes in sunny
window in the house. They win not, how
ever, do we'll in IA temperature higher
thbn so or So degrees, so it will be best
to have them in a sunny window in
room where there is not much fire heat.
When the hotbed can be had, it should
be in a spot exposed to the sun. These
plants require plenty Of air at all times,
but the temperature should remain about
30 degrees, both day and night. The air
can be had by lifting or sliding the sash
which covers the frame Of the hotbed. 1t
is better to lift it, however, as the lower
plants do not receive their portion OF
fresh air when the sash is slid back.
They should be kept moderately moist,
not vet. The soil used should be from a
good compost heap.
| The small, fine runners should be kept
pinched out in order to throw the strength
into the main crowns whence the flower
buds issue.
Pansies can be treated in very much
the same manner as violets, taking care
TO plant them so that the plants are not
TOO close TO one another in the frame.
Violet plants can be obtained from any
OF the larger florists at this season. The
season of blooming is from October until
April or May, il the weather is cool; but
when warm weather sets in the plants
will commence to grow, and will not
flower again until the next October.
II other plants are desired they will
be found to have propagated themselves;
hence the tiny runners can be removed
and planted as SLIPS" or the new plants
can be separated from the roots of the
old ones, roots and all, and made TO form
new growth. This, of course, refers
only to hothouse violets; the ordinary
wood violet being merely a Johnny.
jump-up" Of the viola family. This plant
has no fragrance, and is native to nearly
all parts OF the northeastern and middle
states.
A rare plant-the true perfumed single
violet--is found in some parts Of Penn
sylvania and other sections Of the coun.
try. The plants might also be transferred
to the house. but could not be forced" to
bloom much ahead Of their natural sea
son.
