Nebraska Not seriously Affected.

|
The torrid temperature that has pre-
vailed in nineteen states during the past
three weeks has wrought incalculable
damage. The intense heat, which in
many places has broken all records, has
covered an unusually wide range. All
the crops which have not yet matureG,
with few exceptions, have been seriously
damaged. This includes nearly every
agricultural product of importance ex-
cept wheat and some of the smaller
fruits. The destruction is most severe
in the great corn belt.
In 1900 the corn crop of the country
aggregated 2, Ioo, 900 900 bushels, which
had an estimated value, on the farm, Of
$3.50, 600, 900. Sixty days ago the corn
crop of 1901 was estimated at fully
2. 200, 900, 900 bushels, at a valuation of
not less than $500, 600, 600.
The most ~extravagant estimate Of the
corn crop at this stage does not exceed
so per cen of the crop of 1900, the
greatest s%hrinkage being reported from
Kansas and Missouri, where the pro-
tracted hot spell has been most severe.
In Nebraska the damage SO far is not
so great as to cause serious alarm; in
fact, the only section Of the state that
has been seriously affected is that por-
ton lying west of the Tooth meridian,
where a comparatively small area is de-
voted to corn raising. In the central
and eastern sections the conditions in
dictate a medium crop unless the usual
July rainfall fails to materialize.
At the very worst Nebraska is i'll no
danger of a recurrence of the distress
caused by the drouth of 1894 and 1895.
Nebraska's excellent wheat crop, which
is already harvested, Is estimated at
$40, 900, 900. The value of other cereals
and farm products will range from
&c., 900. 900 to $I5,ooo,ooo, so that the
gross value of the agricultural product
will exceed S35 per capita. emitting the
corn crop, dairy products and the re-
ceipts from cattle, sheep and hogs,
which will this season run into the
millions.
Altogether the prospect for Nebraska
cannot be said to be discouraging, what
ever may be the outcome of the torrid
wave.-Cmaha Bee.

ONE of the worst features of the drouth
is the shortening of the crop of feed,
which necessitates the shipping to
market of much young and immature
stock from this section of Nebraska es-
p~ecially and this fact carries with it the
incidental curtailing of freight traffic
from this section. The1ocal outlook at
this writing is far from roseate.

The Woman without a Trade.

For the girl whose parents have rec
ognized the changed conditions, and al
lowed her to fit herself for a profess
sion or trade. the question Of susten-
ance has no terrors; but it is the wo-
man with no particular qualification,
with a meager education, who, when
suddenly brought to the brink of ne
cessity, cries, in bitterness and alarm,
What can l do" When her hour of
need comes she finds herself a COM
petitOr with a few millions of women,
each one Of whom is by schooling made
mistress of some one art or craft, and
is thus safely launched on a career.
For such a one, provided she has suf
ficient money, probably the true solu
ton of the difficulty is to qualify her
self to enter the lists-go at once TO
one of the training-schOols, such as
Cooper Institute, in New York; Pratt
Institute, in Brooklyn; Drexel Insti-

Extending End Gate.

When corn has been loaded on wag-
IN, it is very unhandy to shovel on at
first until the bottom of the wagon DoX
has been reached, says an exchange.
To overcome this difficulty different
methods are followed such as laying
one end of long, wide board on the
end gate of the wagon and the other
on the floor of the box before loading
and shoveling on the board till the bot
tom of the box is to be got at, but the
extending end gate, shown in the pic
ture, will be found among the best OF
these eXpedients. 1t is fastened to the
bed of the box by strap hinges which
are sunk into the wood so as not to in
terfere with the shovel. The gate is
made wide enough to allow the side
pieces to be. outside Of the box. Iron
straps hold the side pieces secure on
the gate. A rod of one-quarter inch
iron Topped in the manner shown in the
cut is attached on each side. Thumb
screw bolts enable the looped rods to
hold the gate when let down. When
the hand bolts are screwed up tightly
on the rod, they will hold the gate when

Formation of Coral Islands.

Prof. Alexander Agassiz, who has
been investiga ing the coral islands of
the South Pacific, has returned after
an expedition lasting several months,
with observations that tend to disprove
several of the older theories of the for
nation of the coral islands and reefs.
Prof. Agassiz states that in his opinion
the coral forms crust on some noun
tain that has sunk into the sea or on
some volcanic pile, and in proof of this
opinions presents the results of borings
which in nearly every case found the
coral to be a comparatively thin layer.
The sand, mixing with the coral, makes
the reefs, and instead of coral being
made, sinking, and then being replen-
ished indefinitely from the surface,
Prof Agassiz considers it a mere cap
to submerged mountains and volcanic
upheavals.

horticultural Notes.

! Pruning.-EXamine trees recently
planted, and if the wood is not plump
prune them in closely, as shriveling
proclaims the roots unable to supply so
much top.
Bleeding Heart.-A strong root of
| bleeding heart pOtted and placed in a
window in winter will be sure to give
you flowers, and its large, rosy, pink
| blooms are charming to look on.
Hedge for Limited Place.-Where
| space is limited use arbor vitae for
| hedge. 1t forms a complete one, while
growing tall without spreading. Hem
lock and Norway spruce require more
/ ground room.
Fern for Indoors.--A variety Of the
sword fern, known as the Boston fern,
| is in much demand for indoor use. All
of the family to which it belongs are
useful in the same way, not Directing
to air of dwellings.
! Basket Willows.-There are favOrite
willows for basket-making such as the
/ FOrbyana and Purpurea, because of
! their fieXibility, but those who make
/ baskets use many kinds, some of stout
growth and some of slender growth.
House Plants and Insects.-If house
plants are started free of insects they
| are rarely much troubled with them in
| winter, but vigilance must be exer-
cised to keep them clean. az their we'll
doing is greatly dependent on this.
4 Mistake.-It is mistake to rake
up the leaves in the wood lot or anv
other place where they may be allowed
TO remain. Besides being of value as
4 winter protection. when decayed they
add much to the fertility of the ground.
Blackberries and raspberries grow
from shoots formed just below ground.
When transplanting them the mistake
of setting them too deep practically
killing them. is not uncommon. The
roots should be but just below the sur
face.
The Snyder blackberry is a popular
sort I'M the Northwest because Of its
extreme hardness and its productive
ness. Taylor's prolific has larger fruit.
but it is hardly as hardy as the other.
but quite hardy enough for the Middle
States.
BOrers in awthorn.-It is only Eng
fish hawthorn and its varieties which
are subject TO borer attacks. Our ma
tive sorts are exempt. But we have no
eolored sorts among ours: all are white.
50 we have 10 fight borers TO have these
lovely hawthOrnS.
Setting Out Trees.-Fal Is an excel
lent time fo- the setting out Of all trees.
Those who can not plant then should
do the work the very first ring in
spring. that the trees may be well set
tied in their new positions before grow
ing weather sets in.

Handy Helps in Rutchering.


To clean and carry hog with ease
use a short ladder about six feet long
will do) and place legs about foot long
under each end. Place a little tar in
the scalding water, and the hog will
clean easier. For a good hog scraper
take a piece of an old grass scythe
about four inches in length, with edge
rather dull. In place of scalding
trough a large cask laid in a slanting
position will answer the purpose almost
as we'll. Two good rails placed in a
slanting position against a building is
the simplest method of hanging hog
easily.
To clean a pork barrel that is tainted
and has bad smell about it wash it out
rs clean as you can, then whitewash it
with fresh Stacked lime. Let the barrel
cry. and it is ready for use. The lime
will not hurt the meat at all-Kansas

The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true to-day of most pro-
prietary medicines. But Peruna has b..
come so justly famous, it's merits are
known to so many people of high and low
stations, that no one hesitates to see his
name in print recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men

A dignifed representative of the Pres
byterian Church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Pcruna in his

remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.

Big Gain in Winter wheat.

The statistician of Department OF
Agriculture estimates the United States
wheat crop of 1900 at 81, 229,5O5 bush
els, the area harvested being II, 49o,3So
acres and the average an acre l2.Z9
bushels. The production of winter
wheat is estimated at 350,025,409 bush
els, and spring wheat at 112,2Oo,o9o
bushels, the area actually harvested De-
ing 26, 235, S97 acres in the former case
and 1929, 4SS acres in the latter. Ihe
winter wheat acreage, totally aban-
doned in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana ana
Illirois, is finally placed at 3,522,1S
acres and the spring wheat acreage,
totally abandoned in North Dakota ana
South Dakota, at 1913, 467 acres. The
extraordinarily rapid rate at which the
winter wheat acreage of Nebraska is
gaining upon the spring wheat acre
age of that State has necessitated
special investigation of the relative eX-
tent to which the two varieties were
grown during the last year. The result
of the investigation is that while no
change is called for in the total wheat
figures of the State 590,575 acres have
been added to the winter wheat column
at the expense of the spring variety.

BIG Mares.

The breeding of draft horses of ex-
IRENE weight is not likely to be over
done in this country for a long time.

is there are not any too many mares
that can produce the top weight kind.

worth money TO the man who is fixed
for raising heavy horses. Breed her TO
n good. big stallion, feed ker and the
foal plenty of good growing feed, such
as oats, bran and clover hay, with some
corn, too, and there is no danger of an
understood colt. Draft blood is some
thing. but not everything. Lack of feed
in early life accounts for a whole lot of
