1t is the business of the judge to in
struct the jury on the law; the jury
then decides on the facts. But the jury
must be instructed by the judge on the
law or they may decide wrongly. 1t is
the province of the dealer to instruct
the public on the general law of his
goods, They must then decide the Sc
lection. Thus 1t is proper that you
should be told of Tea; that cheap tea
is of no value except to quench thirst.
whereas a high-grade tea like Chase &
Sanborn's has wonderful power to re-
lieve fatigue, prevent exhaustion, and
often to actually avert sickness. From
the standpoint of health such tea is worth
twice its cost.

alfalfa, measuring four feet nine INCL

first. Harvest is nearly over, and the
yield of small grain will be enormous.

week ending July %, 1902, says:
The temperature during the week v

warm days and much sunshine. The
showers that occurred were scattered
and fairly well distributed, but some
localities need more rain. There was
some local injury from hall in sew

pushing small grains to maturity. but
the outlook for very good yields, on
he whole, continues flattering.

Early wheat is generally well filled, the

Corn has made very good progress.

Sioux Falls, S. D. Aug. 4.-For sew
eral years the Tuthill Lumber COM
pany Of this city has made a practice
of securing weekly reports at this sea-
son Of the year as to crop conditions
in this part of the state, the reports
being sent by trusted and conservative
agents of the company. Generally
speaking, the current reports show the
crop to be in frst-class condition. The
only unfavorable reports concern the
vicinity Of Dalton, where rain would
be beneficial to the corn crop, although
it will not suffer If rain does not fall
for some days yet, and in a. district OF
small area between Egan and Flan-
dreau, which has not been favored with
as much rain this season as other parts
of the state. TO Judge by the reports,
the indications are hat wheat will run
from 1SSto 80 bushels per acre, oats.
from 40 to 55 bushels and barley from
80 to 30. One farmer near Fulton has
threshed his barley and It measured.
81 bushels per acre. Another feature of
the crop this year Is the indication that
a great share of the wheat in this vi.
entity will grade No. l. This has not
been the case before for a number OF
years.
