In every important sugar cane pro-
dueIng state except Texas the average
condition of sugar cane ON Aug. 1 was
considerably below that of "a year ago,

other states contributing to the cane
sugar crop report conditions ranging
from two to eight points below such
average.
The condition of rice lis below that

the potatoes are sacked, but when
dumped in piles in the field one man

A DRYHOUSE FOR FRUIT.

One That Was Euilt at Small Cost
and Worked Well.
Fruit drying being the order of the
season, a Home and Farm writer de-
scribes satisfactory dryhouse built
by himself at small cost:
The chimney can be built of sticks
and clay. If lime and sand are con-
venient and care is taken to cut all the
sticks the same length and plaster it
well inside and out, over the ends of
the sticks as we'll as elsewhere, and
then thin coat of cement put on the
outside, it will last many years, with
a cover on when not in use. 1t should
be two feet square at least, and, as to
height, the higher the better; but ten
feet give good draft, if the chimney
is smooth on the inside.
The dimensions of the house can be
arranged to suit the amount of work
to be done. This cut shows only three
trays (marked Az, but there can be
any odd number-odd, so the current
of hot air will pass all right. The di-

The head in beef cattle shows a

rience show a good feeding head to be
broad and well filled between the eyes,
with a good, roomy brain box, taper
ing nicely, and short from the eyes to
the muzzle, which should be wide and
clean cut, with large, well open nostrils.
A large mouth usually is the first indi-
cation Of good digestive capacity, and
large, open nostrils go with good lung
power and "a strong constitution. The
whole head is clean cut, with no super
ffuous flesh on the jaws. The horns, if
present, are of medium size and not
coarse; ears of medium size, gracefully
and actively carried. The eyes are
large, full, bright, clear and placid
The neck of most animals of extreme
beef type is reduced to the shortest de-
gree possible with usefulness. 1t is
moderately full, with clean cut throat,
large, well defined windpipe and little
or no dewiap. The neck joins the
shoulder in full, even lines, swelling
into the shoulders, as it were.

made shallower, but broader, back to
the stovepipe, which should be at least
