GRASS-Harvest of second crop al

with results generally satisfactory;
some alfalfa shows damage from frost,

the season advances it becomes appar-
ent that the yield Of potatoes will fall
considerably below the average; po-
tatoes and tender garden vegetables

Mining fakes, fakirs. divining rod,

the banes aud necessary evils of the

not without their redeeming features.
All so called fakirs are not impostOrs,
and all process men are not

very ingenious aud often industri-
Gus men. We have known "diving
