that the horse is too good friend to

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

In general, the week has been very
favorable one. Winter wheat is fair
crop and nearly ready to harvest
Spring wheat is heading as far north
as the Red River valley counties, and
in bloom in some southern counties
Oats are heading we'll. Barley is well
headed and the heads are filing well;
the crop is good one. Flax is In all
stages of growth; the earliest is in
blossom. In Big Stone and Freeborn
counties something is causing fax
plants to die. Rust is reported in some
wheat and barley fields, and also some
lodging, but the drier weather is stiff
fening the stalks so that lodging will
not be as serious as If wet weather
continued. Corn is still somewhat
backward, but it is improving steadily
Hay is generally good crop, but there
are localities where both clover and
timothy are SO poor that other crops
will have to be used for provender.

EXPECTS.
Washington, August 12-After re-

said he did not consider that the West
Indian hurricane had yet reached the
Florida coast, regarding the high
winds Of today at Jupiter and other
points in the southern part OF the STATE
as a mere forerunner OF the storm
which is yet to come. He said IL was
evident that the centre OF the huri-
cane would enter the coast some where.
south of Jupiter. He further expressed
the opinion that the storm would
curve. upon hitting the coast, turning
northward from the striking point. He
expected the hurricane TO be felt as
far north as Jacksonville an Savannah
tonight and said that in all probabili-
ties Cape Hatteras would be reached
at least by the advanced gales within
the next twenty-four hours. However,
it had not yet been thought necessary
TO display hurricane signals north OF
the South Carolina coast. The velocity
of the storm is regarded as slow. but
