FEARS FOR WINTER WHEAT.
Bureau Reports February Cold an
Shows Danger. to CroDs.

Shows Danger to Crops.
The weather bureaus monthly sum-
mary of crop conditions is as follows:
East of the Rocky mountains Feb
ruary, 1905, averaged very cold with
much more than the average precipitation
in the south Atlantic and gulf districts
and decidedly less than the average over
the greater part of the central valleys,
middle Atlantic States, New England and
lake regions. During the great part Of
the month there was ample snow cover
ing over much of the winter wheat belt,
but much snow disappeared after the
goth, leaving the southern and western
portions without protection.
In California the month was abnor-
mally warm with plentiful rains in the
southern districts. Unusually heavy
precipitation occurred in New Mexico,
Arizona and portions of Colorado and
Utah.
In Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas winter
wheat has passed the winter thus far in
good condition, but some doubt is enter
tanned as to what its conditions in Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio will be when
snow disappears. The crop has, how
ever, been generally well protected in
these last named States, and also in the
middle Atlantic coast districts The con-
dition of winter wheat on the Pacific
coast is favorable. except in Washington,
where it experienced severe freezing
weather.
The intensely cold weather in the
States of the upper Mississippi and lower
Missouri valleys is reported to have caus-
ed injury to fruit buds. principally
peaches, but in the Atlantic coast dis
tricts fruit buds are believed to have es-
capped material injury thus far.

THE TESTING OF FATHER.

When faint the city whistles blow,
And milk carts rumble to and fro;
When the glad sunbeams newly fling
Abroad their promises of a spring,
Then father to the garden goes
And rakes and digs and plants and hoes
When he has placed beneath the loan
About his glad suburban home
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine,
And proudly says "All this is mine,"
And joyous hears the breakfast bell,
And feels his bosom proudly swell,
What sounds portentious on the breeze
Cause his slow curdling blood to freeze
There, cackling singly or together,
With feet steel shod and lungs of leather,
The neighbors' soul-destroying hens
Have flown their fragile makeshift pensl
The big white rooster proudly leads!
The air is full of garden seeds!
The old hen lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, stumps, sod, gravel, and the roots
That pa has planted with such care
And left to grow in comfort there.
TITS nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father in his place.
Instead Of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says, with expression sage,
EYER fathers mellerin' with age"

Philadelphia Has Combined Chemical
and Ladder Fire Wagon.
Fire station No. Is, at 5eth street
and Baltimore avenue, says the Phila-
delphia Record, has the distinction of
possessing the only ladder truck and
chemical engine combined in the city.
Curipusly enough, the crew of truck
No. 13 consists of thirteen men, but
the superstitious need find nothing
threatening in this coincidence, for
among thirteen men there is always
one, and sometimes two, off duty, and
the truck is worked by eleven or
twelve men. The truck is fully equip
ped, both for rescue and to fight fire.
In addition to full supply of hand
ladders it has a 65-foot extension lad
der of the kind that is raised automat-
ically and leaned in any direction. The
chemical engine has two tanks, each
of which has capacity of thirty-five
gallons, and can raise a pressure of
800 pounds to the square inch. Each
tank is kept loaded with water and
soda and the vitriol may be thrown
in instantly by the turning of crank.
Three extra charges are always car
ried, and either tank may be operated
while the other is being charged. Since
they are so connected as TO feed COM
mon hose, this may be done without
stoppage of the stream. The hose car
ried is 500 feet long.
There is also a life-net and a ports,
