CONDITION or CROPS.
Generally Favorable Outlook East OF
Mississinni River.

Generally Favorable outlook East OF
Mississippi River.
The weekly crop report gives the fol-
lowing summary of crop conditions: Rain
is generally needed in the South Atlantic
and east gulf States, and ever portions
of the upper Ohio valley, lower lake re-
gion and middle Atlantic States, while
excessive moisture, due largely to the
rains of the previous week, retarded farm
work over the region extending from Ar
Kansas and Oklahoma northward TO Min
nesota, and the Dakotas. Killing frosts
occurred in Minnesota and upper Mis-
souri, valley, and over the northern Rocky
Mountain and North Pacific coast re-
gions, the principal damage being that
done to late fax in Minnesota and the
Dakotas. Very favorable conditions pre-
vailed in the west gulf States, central
Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys, and
generally on the Pacific coast.
East of the Mississippi river the week
has been very favorable for gathering
corn, but in the principal corn States
westward of the Mississippi this work
has been interrupted by wet weather, and
in portions of iowa, Missouri and Kan
sas some damage has been done by heavy
rains.
Except where interrupted by rains in
portions of Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Missouri cotton picking has progressed
under exceptionally favorable conditions,
and is unusually well advanced. In the
central and eastern portions of the cot
ton belt the bulk of the crop will be
gathered by Oct. 10. Picking is also pro-
crossing regularly in Texas, except in the
lower Brazos bottoms, inundated by the
rains of the previous week, where the
crop is almost a failure.
Excellent progress has been made with
blowing for fall seeding in the States
west of the Mississippi river and in por-
tions of the Ohio valley and middle At
lantic States, but in the South Atlantic
and east gulf States the ground has been
too dry for this work.

Shouts Arthur Goebel Is a Liar and
that He Is Innocent.
One of the most remarkable scenes
ever enacted in a Kentucky court occur
red Tuesday night in the Youtsey trial at
Georgetown, Ky. Arthur Goebel who
had been put on the stand, testified; Il
talked with Youtsey the day he was ar
rested in the Jail in Frankfort in refer
ence to the murder of nv brother"
Youtsey jumped up and shouted: 1T is
untrueit is lieI never spoke a word
to that man in my life, nor he to me"
Youtsey's wife sprung to his side, and
while endeayoring to make him sit down
could be heard SAYING: "Now you have
killed my husband, / suppose you are
satisfied. Youtsey Historically shouted
again; Il am innocent; there is no blood
on my hands; those men are swearing my
life away"
Mr.. Sheriff, il the defendant does not
behave himself put handouts on him, "
said Judge Cantlill. Meanwhile the au-
dience could not be forced to keep their
seats until the judge threatened to fine
those who stood up. Youtsey cried hys-
terically. and finally the trial was post
poned till the next day on account Of the
defendants condition.

Dry Corn Fodder.

When pasture is at its very best, we
would feed little or no grain, but add
good hay, clover preferred, in its place
We have long advocated the feeding OF
some dry fodder in connection with
pasture and silage. This was done
partly on theoretical grounds and part
ly because we have noticed in our own
herd the craving of the cows for some
dry fodder and that they apparently did
as well when thus fed as when they re-
ceived grain. Our own opinions Were
very fully confirmed by some accurate
experiments made by Professor San
born in New Hampshire. OF course
when the pasture becomes short and
dry it is expedient to add more or less
grain. and under the circumstances and
the prices given by our Missouri friend
we would use equal parts by weight
of bran and gluten feed, the amount to
be allowed daily to be governed by cir.
cumstances.-Hoa Dairyman.

Bloat in Cattle.

When cattle are first turned on young
clover in the spring there is danger OF
bloat The remedy which we use is a
very simple and effective one and can
be quickly applied. 1t consists simply
of a round stick about two inches III
diameter ard twelve inc,s's long. with
a piece OF small rope attached to each
end. In case of hloat place the stick
croSswiSe in the mouth and fasten Il
there by tying the pieces of rope to-
gethcy over the head. This permits the
gas formed by the clover to pass of.
\ three-ounee dose of Kerosene should
also be given. II the animal is not too
far gone. cure viii be effected in half
an hour.-F. A. Moerlock.

INDIANS WILL BE VOTERS.
Braves of Many Tribes May Cast a Bal
lot for President.

Braves of Many Tribes May Cast Bal
lot for President.
At the approaching presidential cleo
ton a considerable body of new voters,
made up of indians whose tribal relations
have been broken up and who have be-
come full citizens of the United States,
will help somewhat to increase the UNI
certainty of the result. According to the
census of ten years ago there were more
than $4,000 taxed and taxable Indians
having the right Of suffrage as citizens of
different States
1t will be found, when the present CEN
sus is completed that the number Of tax
able Indians has increased by reason of
the breaking up of more reservations and
the enforced independence of certain
tribes that have been wards of the
government for years. And if the policy
that is being pushed now is carried for
ward consistently nearly every Indian in
the country will be enfranchised before
another presidential election takes place
OF the 100000 Indians in the United
States, the most considerable and impOr
tant body are the 10000 belonging to the
five civilized tribes in the Indian terri
tory, and still living under a tribal gov
eminent. These tribal organizations are
breaking up, the Creeks and the Choc-
taws having already signed an agreement
to allot their territory and become citi
zens of the United States.
These Indians will be found to be fa-
miliar with the duties of citizenship when
it comes, and familiar with the machin-
cry Of elections. But those Indians from
the small reservations, scattered from
Maine to California, and making up a
total of more than 135, 900, will come to
the ballot, after acknowledgements, ignor-
ant both of its method and its purpose.
