Dies Moines, Ia, Aug. l0.-The Iowa
weather n crop bureau has issued the
following bulletin:
: The daily mean temperature OF the past
week was 2 to 4 degrees below normal.
The nights were cool. and some Of the
northern stations reported the minimum
below 40 degrees on the night OF the 7th.
The amount Of rainfall was very small
except in a limited portion OF The north
central district.
The dry weather. with generally clear,
warm days, made favorable conditions for
finishing the harvest of oats, spring
wheat and timothy (for seed), and for
stacking and threshing operations. Re-
ports from threshers In northern and CEN
trail districts indicate fairly good yield
and quality OF oats II barley, with some
local exceptions.
Reports as to the corn crop are gener-
ally more cheerful in tone than was re-
celved In previous weeks. Though late
and somewhat below normal in stand, the
crop as a whole has made fair. progress,
and with favorable conditions In the fu-
ture the output Is likely to b up 10 the
average Of, the past fifteen years.
Spring wheat Is quite disappointing In
sections where acreage Is largest, the
rapid decline In condition being caused by
russ and hight.

flowers and plants, but chiefly to those

flowers and plants, but chiefly to those plants which are cultivated.
 Why should not men and women who reside in the country, and within whose easy reach wild flowers bloom in great profusion, variety and beauty, orna- ment their places with these flowers and make friends of them as well as of the birds?
 It is true that plants show them selves less adaptable than animals; that efforts must be mde to secure for the transplanted violet or pyrola or or enid just the proper conditions of soil and shade and moisture suited to it's
 continued life and growth. Yet thee eff fort to do this Is worth making, for, if the plant can once be established, it needs no further care, and remains a perpetual beauty and continued en- couragement to further efforts in wild
 flower culture. Those who live on farms, or who own large places where there is variety of soil and shade and
 moisture, may do much in this direc- tion. A search of the neighborhood for beautiful plants adapted to the special conditions which the land offers is cer- tain to be rewarded, and the heart of
 man or woman or child will be filled with joy and pride by successfully es- tablishing wild garden.
 Many highly ornamental wild plants at once suggest themselves for such
 semi -domestication; the water lilies,
 white and yellow, for the water of ponds, sedges and wild rice for their Iborders: moccasin flowers for dry,
 shaded knolls; the wild honeysuckle
 and the Virginia creeper for climbers about the house and buildings-and a
 hundred other plants, all different in
 habit, and so requiring different treat
 ment, but all beautiful, and all worth
 working over and succeeding with. | Ingenuity, perseverance and observa- tion will be needed to discover the
 right plants, to transfer them success
 fully, and to make them grow; but in
 the work there will be found an ever Increasing interest, and In success an
 abundant reward. and Stream.

A WILD GARDEN.

Many a country home, beautiful in itself. is made still more attractive by the throng of wild creatures about it, which feel themselves a part of the es- ablishment-almost members of the family. Squirrels come to the house to be fed, sparrows, catbirds, scarlet tan- agers and many other birds hop about on the piazza rail or floor, picking up food scttered there for them, in abso- lute fearlessness, provided members of the family only, their well-known friends, are present--a little shy if strangers are near. Meantime, at early morning and towrd sunset, rbbits feed on the lawn, and quails scratch in the flower beds.
 A love of plants seems to be less in stinctive than that for animals; we all of us wish to see things that move Yet multitudes of people are devoted to

TO GOVERN THE CANAL ZONE.

The question of how the canal zone
in the State of Panama shall be gov
erned is now before Congress and
bids fair to create some discussion. A
bill has been introduced by Mr.. Kit.
tredge in the House of Representa-.
tives which, if it should become law
would establish governmental ma
chinery quite similar to that now in
operation in the Philippines. 1t pro-
poses to create commission to make
and administer laws adapted to the
conditions. Admiral Walker and
General Davis of the canal commits
sion appeared before the Senate COM
mittee on inter oceanic canals one day
this week and opposed the passage of
the bill They took the stand that
the commission appointed for the con-
struotion of the canal, of which Adj
miral Walker is chairman, is capable
of governing the canal strip and
should be allowed TO do it. They
argued that the government of the
canal strip should be conducted with
as simple machinery as possible, as in
that way the best results would be
obtained. They feared that two COM
missions would conflict in their work,
inasmuch as the construction would
necessitate considerable government
in itself.
1t is to be hoped that American
officials are not so over. officious and
DESTROYS of doing somebody else
work that two commissions could not
live peaceably on the Isthmus.
Yet there is some sense in the prop
osition of Admiral Waller that the
government will be more effective if
simple, The question is worthy Of
careful consideration, for upon It's set
Element depends much. The canal
zone, twenty miles wide, is to be
practically territory of the United
States, and in that zone is contained
nearly all of Panama that is of any
particular account to the world. The
principal cities are there and the
greater part of the population. The
government of the canal zone will be
really the government of all Panama

would again repeat, however, chat the
captains of the inshore squadron must

Very evidently the torpedo boat was
to be reckoned upon chiefly as an ele-
ment OF defense, not offense.
There has been some change in sem
timent, however, since then. and the
recent events in the East have made
the change more pronounced. But the
number of torpedo-boats which tine
United States now has, when COM
pared with those commanded by the
other great powers shows this country
far behind in what may prove one Of
the most important branches of naval
armament. Our navy, according to
recent figures, has 5e torpedo boats,
while Japan has l04. Italy 1866, Ger
many 140 Russia 800, England 200,
and France 1868. Rear Admiral Tay-
lor says at is estimated that the tor
pedoes can be shot at distance of
l, 800 Yards, while experiments in our
navy show that the boat can get in as
close as 400 yards without being picked
up by the searchlights. Rather dis.

OF course the torpedo boat has it's
disadvantages and limitations. 1t is
not suited to long ocean runs, though
very high speed can be maintained by
than. They need to have big ships
to back them up. They can work with
any likelihood of success only at night.
But with all their limitations they
must be reckoned with Perhaps this
government will see fit to build more

MAPLE SUGAR YEAR.

The city man who bought farm on
which there was a maple sugar grove
and gave orders to his overseer to keen
the grove working all the year round,
as it was the only part of the farm
that paid, no doubt would repeat his
command this year had he not grown
in agricultural wisdom. Those who
are versed in the winter auguries as
they bear upon the maple syrup and
sugar industry, predict great har.

tends to stimulate the circulation of
the sugar maple, and no patent spring

and even further south. The quality
of both the sugar and the syrup re-

and New York, but being the first in
the market it commands good price.

whatever standpoint one may choose,
the people of Vermont can not fail to
regard these decisions as proof that
they can look 70 our supreme judicial
tribunal firm in the belief that they
will receive full justice at the hands
of our judges
There is one thing that should not
be forgotten, however, in considering
the position of the Vermont judges
As the Free Press SAYS, they are
elected by partisan Legislature. But
ordinarily there is no party vote cast
when they are elected. At the last
legislature every judge WAS elected
unanimously. The only question
which the legislators of Vermont have
yet learned to consider is the fitness
of the men for the positions. Nav
partisanship forever leave Vermont
