 At 4:39 in the afternoon the predic- tion of the weather bureau that the heat would continue without intermis- sion and that there would be no rain was set at naught by thunderstorm which swept over the lower part of the city and then shifted and struck above the city line mp through Westchester county and over to Connecticut. The relief brought by the electrical disturbance and the rain which fol lowed was almost instantaneous.

lambs, 442 swine, 4S5 veal calves 95 horses

American farm is too large is an eco

man with 300 acres, who cultivates but
fifty or hundred acres, is laboring at a

acres of land that return him nothing.
"Small farming" as it is called, il
