That American women are growing more
slender and frail is too apparent to any
observer for argument. Slenderness and
fragility are the words that best describe
the typical girl to today. From an aesthetic
standpoint, perhaps, all this is an i'm
provement on the more sturdy and buxom
woman of two generations ago; but from
the Doctors standpoint is a rapid legen-

SPLENDID YIELD 0F GRAIN
ThreshinR of BOuntiful in Full sway
Near Farnau, but GrasshOppers
Threaten Corn.

FARNAM, Neb., Aug. 1.-(special.)-The
crop of small grains In this locality is
harvested and the threshing machines are
busy. The wheat, rye, oats and barley
are Of excellent quality and the yield enor-
nous. So far as heard from the yield OF
winter wheat is from thirty-fve to forty
bushels per acre, rye thirty to thirty-fve
and some phenomenal figures for oats.
Some farmers are stacking their grain,
but the large majority will -thresh from
the shock. The grain IL very ripe and
the threshing would be easy but for the
frequent showers that interrupt and delay
the work.
Prices for the grains are satisfactory
and, for the first time in three years here,
the farmer is being paid for his invest
ment. The crop far exceeds In acreage and
quality the crop Of 1891.
Corn Is in fine condition and the acreage
is large. Just now II is menaced by the
''hoppers," which are very much in evil
dence. Following the instructions of Prof.
Bruner Of The University Of Nebraska, sys-
tematic and scientific effort is being made
to exterminate the pest. II the hoppers
can be subdued the corn crop probably
will be the largest this locality ever pro-
duced, and, when gathered. will leave the
producers in fairly good circumstances.
The wild hay is plentiful. New hay is
being sold on the market at 1850 per ton
delivered. The pastures are in better con-
dition than ever before at this season, and
the stock farmers point with pride to their
fat cattle.
With a reasonable amount Of rain the
soil here is capable Of producing prodigi-
ously large crops.

FULLERTON. Neb., Aug. 1.-(special.)-
The crops in Nance county are much better
than for several years past. Many farm
ers are threshing winter wheat. oats and
barley, and are greatly pleased with the
yield and quality. Wheat is yielding from
thirty to forty-nve bushels per acre. barley
from forty to nifty, while oats are turning
out from thirty-Ave to nifty. The heavy rains
accompanied by strong winds during July
damaged the oat crop very materially. The
prospect for corn was never better In To-

WOMEN ON THE FARM.
The Man Who Asks Them to PIOw
and Harrow or Make Hay Is
I'm the Wrong

The other day | heard man boast
ing about the work his girls had done
on the farm. One had been plowing,
one narrowing, one doing some other
kind of hard labor. He seemed to
think it was thing to be proud of
that he had girls who could do such
work.
Now, it is all right for the women
to help little now and then when
the farm work presses. We all know
what a relief it is for them to come
to the rescue when the weather is
Catching and we are behind hand.
But for myself draw line straight
across the field at the point men
toned by our good friend, the father
of those splendid daughters. do not
believe it ever was intended that wom-
en- should plow or harrow or lift or
lug at heavy farm labor. The hay
NOW of all places is the worst for
them.
1t may be true that by doing this
kind of work the women folk can
save certain crops from injury or en-
able us to cut down the bills for hired
help. 1t may be, too, that they are
ready and willing to lend hand wher-
ever possible; but to-day is not all
we hope to have in life. And of all
the poor, wretched persons l know a
broken-down woman is most so. What
is the use of saving few pennies to-
day at the risk of loss of health to-
morrow? We ought to be sensible
about such things. There are things
women can do with safety and profit.

TARIFF TREATY SIGNED

pert who was commissioned by the

treaty between the United States and
China, stating that the treaty was
signed on the 18th instant, and that
he would sail for the United States
on the first steamer.
TIL? announcement contained in
Mr.. Sharrett's brief dispatch to the
state department brings to a success
full conclusion negotiations which
have been in progress for many
months for tariff treaty between
China and this country. 1t was stip.
ulated as one OF the features of the
peace agreement between China and
the foreign powers at the close of the
Boxer outbreak that an entirely new
fabric to trade treaties should be
made. This carried out the purpose
Secretary Hay had maintained
throughout the preceding negotia-
tions for an open door," the desire
being to open up foreign communica.
tions with the interior of China and
thus gain access to the vast markets
OF the empire.

Pure Water for pOuItry

Stagnant water pools should have
no place about the yards and runs os
the poultry. No water at all is to be
preferred, rather than stagnant wa
ter containing impurities. Where
fowls have the run of plenty of green
food they do not require much water,
but it is very beneficial to their well
fare to have at all times pure water.
If water is kept in watering vessels
for them, it should be changed fire.
quently, for it will become very filthy
in a short time. Fresh running wa
ter Is always to be preferred, and
when II IA possible to have such, it
%ill pay well to run pipes long dis
tance to secure it if the proper fall
is such as to bring it to us. The
well and the windmill will usually
supply fresh water, and good watering
devices of different kinds may he
used in connection with the same
Rural World.

AMERIcA's Hay CROP.
Up Every Year. According to
Price and Quality.

There is probably no crop that
varies more than that of hay, ranging
from 45.0O0,000 tons to OF, ,O0O, 900 tons,
and the acreage varying from 10000
900 to something over $4,000, 900. and
this crop pays the farmer annually
from S400,00O,000 to $500. 100000. ac-
cording as to the price and quality of
the hay. 1t is the most profitable crop
the farmer can raise. and il is harvest
ed with less expense than any other
crop he can put in his land. He usual
ly realizes at least S100.OOO 200 more
from hay than from wheat, and often
gets more out of it than from corn.
so that it is readily seen that the hay
crop is of great deal more impor-
tance to everybody, and everything
depends on a favorable start. There
are also direct reasons why the con-
dition OF the hay crop is of great i'm
portance to grain spectators. The
failure of hay now would make large
drafts on the coarse grain supply
and would mean higher coarse grain
prices, while a very favorable hay
promise now and good results later
would alleviate in a very great extent
the shortage in corn this summer and
iail. The time was when very little
Importance was given this wonderful
product, but that has passed, and
there is good logic in the Importance
now attached to the hay situation at
the present time. 1t is not at all sur
prising that grain men are now calcu-
iating on the prospects for a good
crop of hay this season. neither is il
surprising at the interest shown by
the producer and shipper of this valu-
able productivity and Grain Re.
porter.
