The New England hay crop will not be
such failure as was expected at first, if we
may trust the crop bulletin of the weather
bureau. Haying has begun in Maine to a
c. nsiderable extent, and the end of this
week will witness active operations in the
State. In Aroostook and Waldo counties
the outlook is favorable for good crop.
The yield also promises well in portions of
Cumberland county. Haying is well under
way in New Hampshire and Vermont, ex-
cept temporarily suspended during the
showery period. In the southern section
good progress has been made towards com
pletion of gathering the crop. Although
short at the best, the crop is better than an
ticipated some weeks ago, and is secured in
good condition. On low meadows in the
eastern counties of Massachusetts a full
crop is reported Mown fields are starting
well and there is abundant promise of fine
second crop.

Globe Year Book
A Valuable Reference work.

The Year Book and Almanac issued
by The G l o company, of st. Paul,
is the best work Of the kind which has
come to our notice. Complete in every
particular, it combines history and
facts, statistics and general informa-
ton, properly classified and indexed in
a manner which permits of instant ref
erence. The statistics are most COM
plete and admirably arranged for in
telligent understanding. Sixty pages
Of the 500 which this wonderful book
contains are devoted to Minnesota, and
the political information Is the most
comprehensive and valuable ever pub
lished in the state. We bespeak for
this work the consideration Of every
intelligent person in the state, and we
can say without hesitancy that 1t is
valuable alike to Merchant, Farmer
Mechanic, Sportsman or Politician.
The price Of the book is 25 cents,
mailed anywhere, and considering the
amount of information it contains, it
is worth fully three times that amount.
