The Latest War News.

The latest war news is eagerly sought
after. To some it brings happiness, as
they read of valiant deeds accomplished,
while to others the same message brings
sorrow, when they note the death or
capture of their loved ones. There is
also much sorrow and suffering through
out our country by those who have been
captured by that greatest enemy-dys-
pepsia. For this, however, there is a
remedy and that is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which also cures indigestion,
constipation, biliousnesS, nervousness
and insomnia, and as q preventive for
malaria, fever and ague it is u%nequalled.
1t has a record Of fifty years of cures to
back it up and a trial will convince you
that your case is not incurable, as you
will find after taking a few doses your
stomach will be strengthened.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN
An Ideal Week for Harvesting Throughout
New England-Condition of Crops.


An Ideal Week for Harvesting Throughout
| New Decentralization of Crops.
The weather of the week ending Aug.
u has been favorable for growing crops,
except In limited districts where pro-
longed drought prevails. The week has
been ideal for harvesting, which is still
in progress in northern New England.
There l. a general deficiency of moisture
which has been increased bya prevalence
of sunshine during the past seven days.
The general absence of precipitation
for the week would not have been severe
" felt had there been an average degree
of cloudiness. Clear skies, however,
combined with the excessive heat OF the
past three days have caused blackberries
peaches, apples, and plums to ripen pre-
maturely. Corn has suffered but little
from the dry weather. The heavy rains
of the week preceding have apparently
been sufficient for its present growth.
Grass is very poor. In portions OF the
three northern states grass-hoppers are
running pasturage. Several reports state
that wells and streams are again low
and that pastures have completely failed.
The weel, has been suspicious for the
harvesting of wheat, oats, barley. and
Hungarian grass in Maine, New Ilamp-
shire and Vermont. Fall blowing, how
ever, has been stopped and unless rains
fall soon autumn seeding will be de-
layed.
Portions of Maine and Connecticut
send the most discouraging reports on
the condition of pasture lands. Several
state that the stock get no grass what
ever. and are fed altogether from grain
aries. Rowen is very short in the three
southern states. Hungarian grass,
which is heavy, IS now being harvested.
In general, grain is maturing rapidly.
| Oats and barley are heavy crops IN
Maine. The rains of last week injured
the straw Corn. though somewhat late,
is promising only one repor. is unfavor-
able. Fodder is now being cut in Con-
nectcut.
There is great unevenness in the apple
crop. In the same orchards portion
of the trees may be laden, while others
are destitute Of fruit. summer and fall
apples are abundant. There is an
average yield Of winter apples. The
rains Of last week will greatly increase
the size Of the fruit; they have also
checked abnormal dropping. Peaches
and plums are abundant in Vermont.
Pears are medium in Massachusetts.
Blackberres are plentiful in New Hamp-
shire, Cranberries are below the
average.
Rust is not now doing much damage
in potato fields. The late potato vines
remain green. There will be a full crop
of beans. Tomatoes and onions are
plentiful in Rhode Island, there is com
plant. however of the former rotting on
the vines. Cabbage is in excellent con-
dition in Massachusetts, but in COnnecti-
cut the crop is suffering from the pre-
Vaiing drought.
