New England Crop Conditions.

/ The L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Climate and Crop bulletin of the
Weather Bureau. New England section
for the week ending Monday says
/ Extremes of temperature were notable,
ranging from maximum readings above
90 degrees to minima that reached the
freezing point. There was a general
frost Friday morning in many local.
ties.
Grain-Fall-s grain is still do
ing well and there is every prospect of
an average crop. The reports regard
ing corn show varying opinions; in
some localities it is slow in growth
and yellow, in others up and doing
nicely, having been hoed once.
Grass-Grass in the northern por-
tions of the district is doing we'll in
the south there is need of more rain.
and on the uplands it is getting dry,
with June grass about ready to cut.
New -sown fields are doing well in all
sections, but there is still complaint
that the yield from old meadows will
probably be light.
Fruit-The setting of fruits was not
seriously injured by the frosts that
have occurred, except in few places.
Strawberries were set back some, but
are making fairly good crop and the
quality is excellent. Raspberries and
blackberries, both wild and cultivated,
are said to be blooming full. with
promise of an abundant yield if there
is sufficient moisture. Connecticut
still suffers from the tent-caterpillar
plague, the foliage in some orchards
having been almost entirely devoured
About the only unfavorable reports re-
garding the general outlook are that
cherries and Baldwin apples are not
promising.
Vegetables-The greater part of gar
den produce is making good progress,
although the frost cut down some po-
tatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes: some
case with field crops, the growth of
vegetables has been hardly up to the
normal owing to the cool nights. Some
potatoes in the north are rotting bad
" owing to the excess of moisture in
the soil, and the fields will either have
to be replanted or some other crop put
in. Considerable damage IS reported
from the Colorado beetle and from cut
worms. The planting of potatoes in
Maine is still being delayed by bad
weather and the outlook is for late
harvest.
Tobacco-The reports regarding to-
bacco are very encouraging, the show
ers that have occurred having been
very beneficial. Most of the plants
have been set, and it is thought there
will be an acreage largely in excess of
that of last year. In Massachusetts il
is estimated that there are at present
1T least Zoo acres under cloth.

its arrival in town than wire some
thing like the following arrives from

Advice To Cattle Feeders.

Columbia, Mo-, June lO.-To
the end Of advising in the matter
of selection of cattle for beef feed
ers, F.B Mumford, profeSsorof ag.
rlculture i'll the State Agriculture
College, has given out some valu-
able hints to Missouri farmers and
stOckmen. Mr.. Mumford saws
that the ultimate profit from feed
ing any class of farm animals will
depend primarily upon two funda-
mental factors. These are the con-
formation or type of the animal
and the age at the time of fattcn-
ing.
y good feeder he describes with
Il strong back and II straight top
line. The under line should also
he approximately straight, and
especially should it be carried
back by II low flank. Above all
in connection with straight, uni
form and parallel lines, insist up
on II deep and broad frame, giving
the general appearance of II low
set and blocky form. This. com
blncd with II certain elasticity of
movement and vigorous action,
giving the animal stylish appear
ance, is valuable character, and
completes his description of the
high-bred feeder costing no more
to keep than scrub, yet bringing
returns far better.

AN AUDRAIN BOY.
Once Lived In MexicO-.Guz-
cling TOughs Shoot
Him Down.

The following is from the sweet
Springs Herald;
A telegram from kiowa, |. 7. -,
Monday to Mrs. Al Wilson, of
this place, announced the death Of
her brother, J.G. Railey, and re-
queStcd her immediate presence.
She, i'll company with her sister,
Mrs. Barbour, left for the territory
Monday ut noon.
Below is Il telegram from South
McAlester, It,, to the Kansas
City journal dated Monday June > =.
which explains itself:
1.-THE town of Kiowa is full of
excitement over the killing of j G. D..
Railey, a travelling salesman for Il
Cincinnati clothing house, resid-
ing there, by Postmaster Charles
Collard Searching parties have
been securing the country since
yesterday afternoon, when the kill
ing occurred. Railey was shot
while standing in his own yard
leaning on Il gate. Eye witnesses
to the tragedy proclaim it deliberate
murder without provocatlon. Raj
ley and his wife had, few min
utes before the killing, come down
the street and stopped where Col
lard, with few companions who
had evidently been drinking, were
beating an itinerant painter. Raj
ley pleaded with the men to dcsist
and warned them that such pro-
ceedings on Sunday would cause
trouble. His pacific efforts were
resented and he was told to 60
about his own business. He and
his wife crossed the street to their
home and Mrs. Railey entered the
house. Railey fingered at the
gate and leaned upon the fence
with his elbow. Collard came out
of his brothers drug store, occu-
pied also by the post Office, and
leveled Marlin rife at Railcy and
fired, the ball entering the peace
makers arm and passing on
through his body. He lived forty
minutes.
"Collard seemed Sobered by his
deed and waving aside the crowd
with menaring gestures with his
rifle he mounted his horse and rode
away at Il gallOp. Several bystand-
ers fired shots at the fugitive with
intention to cripple his horse, but
neither rider nor steed was appar-
emily injured. The dead man had
Travelled in the territory for twenty
Y ears; he is better known as Clip
From the above it looks like Mr..
Railey was murdered in cold blood.
He leaves IL wife and five little
children, the youngest being twin
girls, born last March
The Herald takes the liberty of
extending the sympathy of the en-
tire community to the bereaved
wife and relatives, and especially
to Mrs. Wilson, who had so many
misfortuncs of late.
