The secretary asserts that much
loss has resulted to the cattle indus
try in the west in recent years owing
to the injudicious management OF
ranges. The departments expert.
ments show that much could be done,
under proper control, to restore the
ranges to their original condition, and
he recommends action by congress.

Washington. ~ z. 1.-THE report of
George e. ROBERTS, director of the
mint, upon the operations of the mint
service during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1901. has been completed.
The coinage of the mints during the
fiscal year amounted to 176,999, 1872
pieces, of the value of $136,340, ISL.
OF this s99.065,715 was in gold, $24,-
29S,S50 was in silver dollars, $10,966,-
GAS was in fractional silver and S2,-
O09,o6S was in minor coins. The coin
age of silver dollars during the year
was wholly from the stock of bullion
accumulated under the act of July H.
1890. The amount of this bullion on
hand at the beginning Of tke fiscal
year was S3,2SS.054 standard ounces
and at the end of the year 52,562, 1927
standard ounces. The coinage of this

mfnts and assay Offices amounted to
$153, $50. an increase of $19,1s1,-
SCI over the preceding year.
The estimated production of gold

endar year 1900 was of the value Of
$40, ILL., 900, and notwithstanding the
fact that this country led the world In
productions. its imports exceeded Its
exports by @12.S66.01o. The produe-
tion Of North Ame1ica, practically all
of which comes to the United States,
was 1116.051 500.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.


Weather Most Favorable for Maturing
and Harvesting All Crops.
The weather conditions of the week
ending Sept 2 have been normal and
seasonable in all respects. Clear skies
with abundance of sunshine prevailed
until the 3lst, followed during the
remainder of the week by generally
cloudy weather. The sunshine and
fair weather were much needed, and
have been of much benefit to all crops.
All crops have been improved by the
sunshine and seasonably high tempera-
ture. The weather has been most fav-
orable for the maturing and ripening of
fruit, grain and grass, and their harvest
ing. In parts of Connecticut there is
some complaint of excessive moisture
causing mildew and injury to vegetable
and other crops on low ground, but
with this exception the ground is in ex.
cellent condition for more farm work and
crops. In parts of Maine blowing for
fall crops has commenced.
Corn continues to make an excellent
growth, and all correspondents report it
to be in the finest condition. and that
canning of sweet corn has commenced
in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
and the crop is of excellent quality.
Field corn has commenced to harden. .
some fields have been cut and shocked
and more will be soon. Ensilage corn has
made an enormous growth, and its cut
ting and filling of silos has been begun
In many parts of the section
Cutting and curing of the second crop
OF grass has been general during the
week, and with few exceptions it is
reported to be heavy crop. Fall feed
and pasturage are green and in good
condition. No complaint of grass.
hoppers has been made except in Suli-
van county, \. H.. where they are
reported to have caused considerable
damage to grass.
Apples continue to drop badly; nearly
all reports state that they are wormy and
will be light crop. Peaches are now
rottng badly in Connecticut from the
effects of the cloudy, foggy, humid wealth
er of the preceding week; there will be
much loss from brown rot, and the crop
will be less than expected. In other parts
of New England where peaches are
grown the reports are favorable. Plums
and pears are reported to be a light to
fair crop, although in parts of the section
there is complaint of rot in plums and
also in grapes.
The potato crop is generally reported
to be light, although reports vary to some
extent. In some sections there is little
or no rust or rot; In others, potatoes are
rusting badly. In Aroostook county,
Me, potatoes are reported to be of good
size and fine quality. Onions and celery
are fair to good; melons and squashes
have been injured by blight.

No Stronger Evidence Can Be
Had.

Look we'll to their record. What they
have done many times in years gone by.
is the best guarantee Of future results.
Anyone with bad back; any reader suf-
fering from urinary troubles, from any
kidney ills, will find in the following evil
dence proof that relief and cure is near
at hand:
Mr.. Patrick o. Dwyer, mason, Of 81
White street New Haven, Conn, says:
" In 1896 when Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of backache which always bothered
me when 1 caught cold, which hurt me
when l stopped, or Strengthened after
STOPPING, which refused to disappear TN
der treatment of different medicines. 1
was only too pleased to let the people of
New Haven know the fact through our
newspapers. Three years from that date,
or in the month of May, 1900 Just as
ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as l did when they effected the cure
mentioned above. My advice to anyone
suffering from kidney complaint is, call
at drug store, procure Doan's Kidney
Pills, take them as directed, and you will
be surprised at the results"

Good Roads Benefits.

Good roads pay from every possible
point of view. They save the farmer
money, both in the improved market
ing facilities of his products and in the
wear and tear of vehicles and teams.
He can draw bigger loads, get to mar
ket quicker, travel more miles daily
with less fatigue and put his products
on the market In a great deal better
condition.
The value OF land il also greatly en-
HANGED by the improved conditions, as
are properties in the town. 1t would
be impossible to state in brief inter-
view the pecuniary benefits to be de-
rived from good roads, to say nothing
Of the comforts and pleasures depend
ent upon the same.
Good roads are absolutely essential
to the prosperity of any agricultural
community

GOOD ROADS PAY.
Results of Highway Improvement In
North Carolina.

The industrial commission at a recent
session at Washington took up the sub
ject of good roads. Most of the time
was devoted to paper read by u. T.
Hutchinson of Charlotte, \. c. His
statement, however, was confined al
most exclusively to the roads in North
Carolina. The movement for road
improvement in his state, lie said, had
started in the towns and had been adj
vocated and supported very strongly
by the residents of municipalities. The
citizens of his city, Charlotte, submit
ted to a road tax in addition to their
town taxes, aud the money raised this
way made it possible to build the first
macadamized road in Michlenberg
county.
The roads, Mr.. Hutchinson said, were
worked by convicts. one effect of i'm
proved country roads, he said, was to
increase the value of suburban prop
erty. Farming lands on macadam
roads within two to ten miles of town,
he said, have increased from 80 to 100
per cent in value in the last ten years.

ought to try new medicine named Calcura
Solvent, which had the reputation of being
the best thing in the world for liver,

it was new discovery by DIR. David

VERMONT TRADE REPORT
Bradstreet Tells of Conditions Prevailing
During Last Week.

Inquiry in Vermont through Brad
streets Burlington representative reveals
the following conditions: The favora-
bic features reported throughout the
state for the past few weeks in business
and industrial circles continue ard pros
poets are good. worlmen are well en-
ployed a. a rule. The potato crop Is
small, but prices are high and there will
not be large net loss to farmers. The
apple crop will also be small. Other
wise agricultural interests are favorable
and the good weather for the past week
has been beneficial for late crops. Lumber,
granite, marble and slate interests are
very active and the creameries continue
to do well.
Business in nearly all departments is
good at Burlington; manufacturing in.
terests are well employed, retail trade is
good and there is the usual distribution
in iobbing way. The stock of coal for
the fall and winter trade has been re-
ceived to large extent and dealers in
other heavy supplies are securing goods
in considerable amounts. availing them
selves of the low transportation rates
which open navigation by lake and canal
affords. Manufacturing business at
Bellows Falls is good, retail trade active
and collections fair. The yield of pota-
toes and apples from this section will be
small. There has been no particular
change in manufacturing or retail BUSH
ness at Bennington. which continues
quiet, collections fairly good. At Brat
tleboro large plant has shut down for
weeks vacation; otherwise conditions
remain practically as reported last week,
with retail trade fair. Pronounced ac-
tivity in manufacturing lines is the rule
at Rutland the marble works are run
ming to full capacity. 1t is stated that
seldom if ever before has this line of
business been so prosperous. Other lines
of manufacture are also fully employed !;
retail trade and collections remain fair,
while crops bid fair to yield an average
harvest. The same is true at st. Johns
bury, and the leading manufacturing
concern there Is unusually active. Nor
risvllle reports manufacturing fairly ac
tive, with retail trade good and collec-
tons fair. Conditions are unchanged at
Barre trade is reported good and help
scarce, with collections fair. At White
River Junction business in both manu-
featuring and retail lines Is good; col
lections as usual.

means that he has been Justly paid. a

of justice experienced the usual sense
of discomfort when her driver straight

HOMESTEAD LANDS.

Uncle Sam is still rich enough to give
us all a farm. Despite the fact that the
government has been exceedingly liberal
and has opened up an immense area of
land for settlement, there is yet remain
ing sufficient to satisfy well developed
land hunger. The government has over
100 100000 acres lying in the western
states TO give away. Already the advant-
ages of these unappropriated lands are
being summed up by agents and pros

$50 miles of Duluth, there lies a govern
ment tract of 5000, 900 acres, including
hundreds of square miles of rich agricul-

traces, too, of mineral matter lie in the
soil, and there are waterfalls sufficient to
