Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The following report of climatic
conditions for the week ending on the
Goth is from the Seattle weather sta.
ton:
The striking characteristic of the
week just past was the spell OF four
days of heavy, soaking rain that &C.
CURED throughout the eastern and
southern counties from the 10Th to
the 22d, inclusive. From one to two
inches Of water fell in that time. The
following three days were pleasant
growing quite warm on Sunday and
Monday. Temperature above so de-
grees occurred oyer the Puget Sound
country and Eastern Washington.
Light showers fell west Of the Cascades,
and it was cloudy and cool until the
23d.
Previous TO the warm DAYS the
growth of vegetation WAS very slow
but the warm spell has doubtless given
all crops great impetus. 1t is con.
sidered conjectural what effect the
very heavy rains will have upon the
crop of wheat aud other grain. II
rust does not set in, as come are in.
clined to fear, wheat will receive great
benefit from the plentiful moisture the
soil has been stored with.
The fore part Of the week was too
wet for farm work. Planting is prac.
tically finished, however, and blowing
for summer fallow will now lie con.
tinued. Wheat is all stooled out we'll
and covers the ground completely
Fall wheat is now Is inches to two
feet high, and the earliest is beginning
to head. In Columbia county, where
wheat raising has given place to barley
raising in a measure, the barley looks
very we'll. Oats are up and growing
we'll in the Skagit country. Potatoe,
on the dry lands look we'll, but in the
bottoms it has been too wet and cold
for them. Hops have not grown well
during the past week. 1t is now quite
certain that plums, prunes and cher
ries were badly injured by the cold
rains ten days ago. Grass and clover
are iuxuriant, making the meadows
look very fine. Early strawberries are
just ripening; the crop is ten days

triumph as the twelve good men and

Notwithstanding the best possible med
ical attendance she got no better. The
doctors said she had Bright's Disease,
and gave her little or no hope Of ever

She suffered great pain in her back,
which nothing seemed able to relieve.
till at last encouraged by the reputa-
ton Dodd's Kidney Pills have attained
in the community as cure for Kidney
Diseases, she began to use them.
The result was surprise both to
Mrs. Seaney and the physicians. for
soon after the treatment was COM
menced her kidneys threw off large
quantities of dark diseased matter and
she improved rapidly. She used in all
ten boxes. and has completely recov-
cred good health without pain or
symptoms OF the Bright's Disease.
