Santa Fe. N. NJ, Sept. s.--The wea,
Their during the past week was charac.
terized by warm days and cool nights.
with scattered and generally INSULT
cient showers. Over the northwestern
quarter of the territory the showers
have been copious and frequent, and
present conditions are quite good, with
good prospects for fall and winter feed
for stock. The rains have been infre.
quent and insufficient over other sec
tions. there are many localities where
grazing-is scant and stock water dried
up. All reports indicate that at pre-
sent all kinds OF stock are in very
good condition, but In many places,
and on the northeastern ranges in par
ticular. water and grass are scarce,
and as grass is curing rapidly under
the influence OF the dry. bright wealth.
er there may be a shortage of good
fall and winter feed. Irrigation wa
ter is still generally sufficient owing
to rains about the headwaters Of the
streams. but in some localities the
water is scarce for this season Of the
year, and good rains are badly needed
to insure a continued supply. Corn is
maturing rapidly; the crop will he us
, ually very good on irrigated lands, but
unirrigated fields are greatly dwarfed.
and generally will he fit only for fod-
der. In the colder valleys of the north
east the crop will he short owing TO
the continued cold weather of the ear
ly spring. Third alfalfa Is generally
quite promising. Latest advices indi-
cate that fruits in northern orchards
are very irregular, but as a rule the
quality Will be exceptionally good.
The following remarks are extract
ed from the reports of correspond
ents:

with cool nights. The long continued

cloudburst. Third alfalfa will soon be
ready to cut Cattle and sheep are In
good condition.
Alberc-H. NJ. hanson: Hot dry
weather continues. One or two light
showers but not enough to he of ap.
preciable benefit. Grass is dry and
crisp. and the season is now so far
advanced that Improvement can hard

feed for stock is none too liberal
