match was finished and clay birds
were substituted. Following are the
individual scores of the members of
the two parties:

age resulted from the severe cold.
A few correspondents in the central
district also report the crop to be in
an unfavorable condition, due either
to dry weather OF intense cold In
the southern district the condition of
the crop is not so favorable as in the
southern and central districts.
| Though there was a fair covering
over the greater part or this district
during the severe cold. il appears to
have been insufficient for complete
protection of the plant. and consid
cradle injury has resulted. a few re-
porters state that the present lmfav-
orable condition of the crop Is due
TO early dry weather rather than tn
the severe cold. In some parts of this
district the crop is reported to he i'm
fair to very good condition. There is
little or no injury from the hessian
fly apparent in the crop at the pres
ent time. In those localities where
the fly was believed, earlier in the sea-
son, to have caused some damage,
there appears to have been n com
plete, or almost complete. recovery
from its effects. Though there has
been some deterioration in the condi-
ton of the crop i'm the southern dis
trict. it is believed that the average
condition throughout the state is
fully as good as that at the end of
November.
There appears to have been some
Improvement in the condition of rye
during the month. Though 4 few
correspondents say that the crop
them report it to be in excellent con-
dition. Many correspondents report
an unusually large acreage of this
grain.
I'm the central district the condi-
tion of pastures and both young and
old meadows is reported to be favor
able. but in the northern district. ow-
ing TO dry weather and severe cold
the condition is not so favorable. In
some parts of the southern district
the severe cold caused considera BILE
damage, while i'm other parts there
was but slight damage or none at all.
Old meadows have apparently suffer
ed less than new.
Some injury To fruit buds appears
to have resulted in many localities
from the severe cold. and peaches APP
pear to have suffered more than other |
fruits. The injury is not general, |
however, and many correspondents in |
fruit growing localities state that |
there has been no damage whatever.
The condition of stock is generally |
to be fairly good. though in
some localities cattle are thin be- |
cause of the scarcity of rough feed. |
Many cattle have died from disease; |
induced, it is believed. by eating corn |
fodder in which there was consider |
able smut or what was otherwise |

DECEMBER WEATHER
FAVORABLE TO VEGETATION

The Illinois crop bulletin for De-
cember says:
Rather dry and moderately warm
weather prevailed early in December,
and this has been quite favorable for
carrying on winter farming opera
tions. The dry weather was not,
however, favorable for winter grain
and grasses, and in some localities
stock water has become scarce.
Heavy rains occurred throughout the
greater part of the state toward the
middle of the month and this rainy
condition was followed by a change
to severely cold weather, but as the
change to colder took place the rain
turned to snowand fair togood COW
ering of snow fell ove- the greater
portion of the state before the cold
became dangerously severe. Follow
ing the cold weather came period
of moderately warm weather which
was generally favorable to vegeta-
ton.
Though the dry weather of the fall
and of early December seemed unfav-
orable to he growth of wheat, yet
over the greater part of the state the
plant was in good condition to with
stand the effect of the severe cold
which prevailed throughout the state
from the 14th TO the 21st. In the
northern and central districts, except
in few localities, wheat came
through the cold spell in excellent
condition. The favorable weather
following the cold spell caused inn
provement in the condition of the
crop, and the end of the month finds
the prospects unusually favorable.
In many places the plant is short but
it is healthy and Vigorous looking.
In parts of Winnebago and Jo Davies
counties the snow covering is report
ed to have been light and some dam

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Farmers "out west'' wonder when
the price Of land il going to stop as
cending.
Keep grade cattle IL you can't keep
thoroughbreds. but don't keep the
''down grade" sort.
The average May pig with average
care does better by fall usually. than
those farrowed In March.
A farm withouk modern conven-
fences and improvements il the one
the boys are going to leave.
Haul out the manure VOW; do not
wait until the time for planting ar
rives. On winter wheat spread it rs
you drawit.
Some one has said that some cows
give milk and others give trouble.
True. The one that gives traubls gives
little milk. usually.
Heredity is all right, but there is
something in feed, care and general
management OF the calf and heifer for
making good mich cows.
Flax il crop that will grow in al
most every climate, but there il little
money in it. Use good, bright seed, II
any.-N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.

The Porosity of Sons.

The amount Of water necessary to
saturate soil depends on several fac
tors, the most important Of which is
the "porosity," or amount Of space
between the soil particles. The porosi-
ty Of soil depends upon the size of
the soil particles (or texture) and the
way in which these particles are
grouped together, and upon the space
between the particles or groups Of par
ticles. If soil be ccmented together
Into, q homogeneous mass, its porosity
sinks to q minimum; II 1t be COM
posed, however, Of numerous fine par
ticles. each preserving its own physi-
cal condition. the porosity Of the soil
will riAo to q maximum. The porosity
Of soil may be judged very closely
BY the percentage Of Ane particles Il

Great Electric Field.

Arizona engineers regard the Grand Canyon of the Colorado as affording one of the greatest fields in existence for the development of electricity from water power. In addition to the im- mense power of the Colorado itself, large stores of energy are available in the smaller streams that leap into the vast chasm. The plan by which the power of the main stream will, it is now thought, eventually be utilized, is that of "picking up" the fall of the river by means of tunnels. At point about seventy miles north of Flagstaff it is said that fall of 5000 feet can be found in a distance but little ex- ceeding mile.-Western Mining World.
