WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Rainy Week and Very Favorable to
Corn.

The mean temperature for the week
ending July "a was generally slightly
lower than last week, and ranged
from 20 degrees over the southern
counties to 81 degrees along the north
ern border, says the government re-
port for Wisconsin. The temperature
during the week was quite even and
no decided changes occurred. Heavy
and almost continuous rains occurred
during the week over the entire south
ern and central portions of the state
At some points, especially in Adams.
Juneau, Wood, Clark, Columbia and
Dane counties, the rainfall was ex-
cessive, the total for the week rang
ing from three to FIVE inches. Over
the northern portion of the state the
precipitation was comparatively light,
being generally less than one inch.
Severe local storms, accompanied by
high winds and hail, occurred in a
few localities, resulting in consider
able damage to crops in limited areas.
The rainfall during the past few
weeks has been sufficient to thorough
ly saturate the soil and as a result all
growing crops have advanced with
great rapidity. The week was very
favorable for corn. The heavy rains,
except in few localities, have not
washed the fields to any great extent,
and the present condition of the crop
warrants the prediction of a large
yield. Early paintings are in tassel
and in some sections the silk is begin
ming to appear. Thus far the crop is
generally free from smut. Winter
wheat and rye are mostly in shock.
The excessive rains and high winds
in some sections caused some damage.
Of oats and barley very little harvest
ing was done during the week, on ac-
count of the wet weather, although
oats and barley are generally ready
to cut in the southern and central
counties. The heavy and continuous
rains have flooded marshland and in
terfered with haying The crop on up
land is very light. Pastures have con-
tinued to improve and are now in
excellent condition. No hail was re-
ported from the tobacco section. The
crop is making very rapid growth and
promises a large yield. Potatoes con-
tinue to make excellent growth, and
there is now sufficient moisture in the
soil to fully mature the crop. Recent
rains have filled the reservoirs and
the present condition of the cram
berry crop is good, although some
damage was done by frost on June
50th. The berry crop has been i'm
proved by the rains. Apples continue
to fall badly and the crop will not be
large.

Great and manifold are the evils of
the tobacco bondage" some one has
said, and it is probably more or less
true. But particularly unfortunate is
the man who in these days of strikes
and lock-outs worships at single
shrine; who demands daily his Mani
tella or his Zerimar or his Flor de
Borinquen, and is daily disappointed
because it is not. The smokers temple
should be a pantheon, and there should
be many gods; for the nicotine
divinities are proverbially tickle, and
the worship of single one of them for
long time may work a mans I'M
doing. Devotion to a single object
may well be admirable in other
matters, but it is better that man be
catholic and free and generous in his
tobacco love; for COO often a man is
forced to a sudden realization that his
favorite cigar, the one he has been
smoking these many years, is 40
longer an actuality, but a dream, a
reminiscent glory, gone forever to the
realm of dead roses.
Just now a large number of the
finest brands of cigars are not to be
mad for love or money. Many factories
in Florida, New York and elsewhere, to
which the smoker looks for the
choicest fabricios de tabac, are idle by
reason of difference between employer
and employed, and one result is serious
hardcbin for tho man WAC has fOner
smoked and learned to love to the ex-
clusion of all others some certain
brand of cigar. 1t is true that there
are thousands of varieties, of every
shape, color and quality; and true also
that the great body of smokers use
only the commoner brands made in
abundance everywhere, and care not a
little bit for the disappearance of El
Murillo; but with the discriminating
smoker it is another thing. When his
favorite cigar is gone love is lost.
On the whole it would be much better,
in view of possible vicissitudes, to
avoid a passionate attachment to one
particular cigar.
There are many thousands of cheap
smokes" made in this country each
year that are fit only for the garbage
wagon, but these nevertheless manage
somehow to get themselves consumed.
There are hundreds of brands of
domestic manufacture also that are of
very good quality, and these serve the
wants of the generality of our smoking
population, the men who are content
with five or ten cent article provided
the material be good and it be well
and cleanly made. This kind of goods
where and at all seasons.

ABOUT KISSING.
Newspaper Controversy That Leads to
Biblical "reminiscences.

Two of our esteemed contempor-
aries, the ST. Louis Republic and the
Chicago Chronicle, are engaged in a
controversy about kissing. The St.
Louis Republic, it seems, takes Of
Tense at certain scientists who are
engaged upon an investigation of the
origin of this delightful practice and
denounces it as unworthy of scientific
research. The Chicago Chronicle re-
proves the Republic for the position
it has taken and fires a volley OF
learning and authorities at it more
fearful than the fusillade from a south
African kopje. 1t reminds the Repub-
lie that a kiss is far more worthy of
investigation than a microbe. 1t
quotes Dick Steele as saying that ma
ture was the author of the kiss and
that it began with the first court
ship. Darwin is quoted IN support of
the kiss and various anJhropologists
are put upon the witness stand. John
Bunyan in his Grace Astounding, is
quoted as having prejudice against
kissing because the brethren in ad-
ministering the holy kiss of Scripture
were prone to select the best looking
women upon whom to bestow it. Bun
yam argued from this that the kiss
was possibly not exclusively and al
together holy, but had in it an ad-
mixture of sentiment.
If anyone should desire to know
what it is to kiss he is informed by
the Century Dictionary that it is
TO smack with the pursed lips Ca
compression OF the closed cavity of
the mouth by the cheeks giving a
slight sound when the rounded contact
of the lips with one another is
broken)." Josh Billings added in his
aippant style that kiss is like mo-
lasses-sweet, but dauby. A great
deal Of kissing went on in Bible
times, beginning with Genesis and 60
ing almost to Revelations. But some
OF this Biblical kissing was Of an
e1,eedingly indiscriminate and alto
: aer unpleasant character. There

wept for very joy, it was so extremely

INDISPENSABLE TO A CAMPER.

OF course, it is the aim of every
camping-out party to burden itself as
slightly as possible, but there are a
few necessary things that must not be
forgotten. You may be able to get
on without saucepan, but you must
have a kettle to nang over your
ire gipsy-fashion, a tin dish holding
one quart or three pints-the latter
size is the better-and tin cup. You
must, unless you are to be near vii
lage where you can get the things as
you go into camp, take some flour,
meal, salt, pepper, salt pork, crackers
and a small box of baking powder
Usually milk, eggs and butter may be
obtained from the farmhouses in the
vicinity of the camp; but if milk is
not easily obtainable there is always
condensed milk, which is a good sub
stitute. If you find a difficulty in OBJ
tanning butter, the best way will be to
carry it to camp with you; and you
may do this safely and easily by cut
