A REPORT ON CROPS.
Weather Bureau Forms an Estimate
ON Condition of Cereals.


The weather bureaus weekly summary
Of crop conditions is as follows:
The temperature during the week end
ing July q in the districts east of the
Rocky Mountains has been favorable, ex-
cept in New England where it has been
too cool, but the need of rain is being
quite generally felt in the central val
leys and Southern States. Destructive
local storms occurred in Minnesota Mis-
souri, and in the northern portion of the
middle Atlantic States. In California
the week was abnormallyy coo, but other
wise favorable.
Over the northern portion of the corn
belt the corn crop has made good prog
ress, and elsewhere fair advancement is
reported, but is in general need of rain
In the central and southern portions OF
the principal corn States. While no Sc
rious injury has yet resulted from
drought the crop is threatened in portions
Of Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.
Some winter wheat remains to be har-
vested in the northern portion Of the
middle Atlantic States and the lake re-
gion. While light yields are generally in
Dictated the crop has been secured and Is
being thrashed under exceptionally ia
vorable conditions, that in shock and
stack having wholly escaped injury from
moisture, which was quite widespread in
the previous year.
The condition Of spring wheat con-
tinues unfavorable, especially over the
northern portion Of the spring wheat re-
gion. An improvement, however, in the
crop on fall-plowed lands in northern
Minnesota is reported, but the late-sown
Is poor and rust is prevalent in southern
Minnesota and South Dakota. In North
Dakota the heads are filling fairly we'll
but a poor crop is indicated, and it's con"
dition in Nebraska is less favorable.
Spring wheat is ripening rapidly in the
Dakotas. In Montana and Washington
It is filling well.

To Renovate Old Farms.

The best mode of renovating old
worn-out farms is to raise sheep on
them. But in raising sheep the land
should be divided into feds and some
thing grown thereon, the crop only
reaching a height sufficient for the use
of the sheep. The animals should new
err be compelled to hunt for their food.
No profit can be made on sheep, unless
they receive care and assistance. With
the production Of wool, mutton and
lamb, and the gradual enriching Of the
soil, the profit is sure in the end. Do
not expect too much in one year, but
keep on, and good results will surely
follow.

Value of Dry Earth.

1t Is we'll known that fine, dry dirt
Is one Of the best absorbents and dis
infectants known. 1t Is also plentiful
and costs nothing but the labor of
handling. 1t makes excellent bedding
If covered over with few inches of
straw, and it really keeps the cows
clean, even when used In the stalls
without straw, as 1t Is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. A stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out in much shorter time, and, as 1t
absorbs the liquids and gases, quite
saving Is effected in that manner. It's
use goes beyond the stall. AS the
stable should be cleaned daily, quite
large quantity Of dry earth will be
used in the course of year, and will
necessarily be added to the manure
heap. Although 1t adds nothing to the
heap itself, yet its presence therein
will double the value of the manure
by preventing loss of fertilizing ma
terial. 1t Is a better absorbent than
straw CT cornstalks, and Is easily ham
died when the manure Is hauled to
the fields.

A Grand Old Cherry Tree.

Sometimes the fruit on a single tree
is worth more than two or three acres
of wheat. There Is a tree in northern
Delaware, seventy or eighty years old,
that has produced an average of $50
worth of fruit annually for nearly
twenty years. One year the cherries
sold for $50 Six years ago this old
patriarch bore fifty-four peach baskets
of delicious fruit, or about eleven hun
dred pounds. And all of this fruit has
been free gift from nature, as the

The American Boy in History.

In America, Sidney Lanier and How
ard Pyle have taken the lead in re-
leasing boys from the bondage Of false
ideals Of heroic adventure. Miss AL
colt was one Of the first American
writer's who dared to make boys and
girls human; to Mary Mapes Dodge
belongs the honor OF first-ir1 q story
for children-so subordinating geogra-
ply and history to color and atmos-
phere and both to the boy who is her
hero that her delighted reader won
ders when he gets to Holland why he
feels as If this is his second or third
visit there.
Pluck, patriotism, energy, loyalty, In
dependence, and uncompromising re-
volt from moral priggishness and con-
ventional sentiment are the national
ideals of character which the English
and the American boy in fiction stand
for to-day. Gallagher, Lew, and ia
kin, Aldrech's Bad Boy, Tom Sawyer,
Pony Baker, Harvey Cheyne, Dan
Disko, and Stalkey and Co., are not
always conservative members of So
ciety, and are often far from comfort
able to live with; but, as varying as
the degrees of social position, of Oppor-
tunity and environment they represent,
they are thoroughly human and ma

legations, their desire for life's adven-
lures, their pursuit of life's pleasures,

vote themselves, in turn, to each

Diseases of Metals.

Certain metallurgists in Germany
have come to the conclusion that
metals are capable of being infected
with disease. A leading scientist,
Prof. Heyn, has found that in the
injury done to copper from overhead
ing the metal is poisoned with what
he calls copper protoxide, disorder
which causes sickness and structural
weakness. Steel that has been poison
ed by hydrogen is deteriorated until
it becomes almost as brittle as glass.
Another scientist has discovered a
certain kind of tin pest which inhab
it's roofs. He found also that when
the diseased mental was brought into
contact with healthy tin the latter
soon became infected and was finally

TO STUDY THE BAHAMA ISLANDS
An Expedition From Baltimore to
Make a Thorough Report.


An expedition recently left Baltl-
more for the purpose of making an
exhaustive study of the Bahama ISL
ands, the report to be presented TO
the United States Government. The
idea of the expedition originated with
Professor George r. Shattuck, of the
Johns Hopkins University, and Is
under the auspices of the Geographic
cal Society of Baltimore, which de-
trays a portion of the expense.
Some of the principal lines of in
vestigation will be concerned with
the animal and plant life of the ISL
ands. The geology of the group will
also be examined and a bench mark
will be left with the view of ascertain
ing to what extent, if any, the BAHIA
mas are sinking or rising above the
level of the sea. Special attention
will be given in the reports to the
industries, commerce, physical condi-
ton of the inhabitants and any other
economic feature which may suggest
itself. An elaborate outfit of scienti-
fic apparatus for the study of climatic
conditions has been provided. The
diseases which may be prevalent and
general sanitary conditions will be
included i'll the investigation. This
portion Of the work will be in charNe
of Dr. Clement A. Penrose, assistal
director of the expedition.

OVERSIGHT.


BY points and sages you've oft heard
it told
That friendship is precious; more
precious than gold;
And yet when stranger approaches
our gate,
We bring forth our best and we serve
him in state.
But scant is the cheer that we oft
times extend
When the guest who approaches is
only friend.
Alack! tits too common a rule On this
EARTH;
We treasure the dross and we squan-
der true worth.
We greet his ambitions with critical
sneers.
We laugh at his hopes and encourage
his fears.
Though kindly the purposes which we
intend,
We forget to express them, because
