NEW ENGLAND CROPS.
Lnck Of Moisture Inst Week HIS Since
Been Made Good,

Boston. Aug. 2.-Thc weekly crop bulIe-
tin of the New England section of the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau says The weather of the past
week was not as favorable as that of the
one preceding, the temperatures being
lower and not sufficient precipitation hav-
ing occurred. There was also a dcn-
cheney OF sunshine. many days being
cloudy and threatening. The night tenn
peratures were too cool for plant develop
ment the mild day temperatures how.
ever. made farm work more agreeable.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
The condition of crops, taken az q
whole is not favorable as il WAS q
week ago, due generally to lack of pre-.
|cipitation. The present crop condition
however. is about seasonable. and. witt
favorable weather should produce a;
least normal results. Corn and potatoes
showed the greatest lack of moisture. tho
former rolling quite badly in many local.
ties. The precipitation of the 18th Was
quite general, and its effects have not
produced noticeable results at the time
this report goes to press, but the next re-
port should show greatly improved con-
ditons
Grain-Grains generally made season.
able progress the past week, only the lato
sown showing lack of moisture. Ripening
Of grain requires more sunshine than pre-
vailed, but on the whole, this process
made fair advancement. Oats are being
cut quite generally for fodder. and har-
vest will begin during the week. Rye IL
all harvested and good yield was the re-
| suit Barley is being harvested with in
dications Of a good crop. Corn is practi-
cally tasseled. and silking is generally re-
ported. Sweet corn is in the market and
quality is good. Buckwheat made fair
progress.
Grass-Haying made good progress the
past week. and the harvest is about COM
plcted. with yield and quality both above
the average. The second growth has made
poor progress, owing to lack of precpita-
ton. Pastures and lawns are showing the
need OF more moisture, and water sup
plies are running low. The recent rain
should greatly relieve this condition.
Fruit-Fruit prospects continue good in
all sections. although apples and blue
berries Will be poor crops, Currants and
cherries will be big crops, plums, grapes.
etc. will be good crops. and peaches and
pairs fair crops. Damages from insects
are reported less each week. Some dam
age to fruits from high winds. but not
sufiicient to make material difference in
total results
Vegetables-All kinds Of vegetables ad-
lvanced well, under unfavorable cond-
ltions. as more moisture was greatly need
ed. Potatoes, however, In some sections
Isuffercd greatly, and, in many localities,
blisht has So affected the crop that 70.
lsults will be poor.

Have Been Murdered.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 8.-Mystery sur
rounds the killing of an unidentified
man about So years Of age by street.
car near the railroad yards late last
night. The man had been appointed
by M. Skones, local yardmaster Of the
Northern Pacific, to guard the telegraph
wires OF the company, but Skones ap-
parently kept no record of the mans
identity for fear of mourning the
wrath of the strikers. The man fell
from viaduct just as car was pass
ing beneath, and it is the theory of the
police that he was slugged by some one
and his body hurled under the passing
car.
The remains were horribly mutilated,
the face being battered to an unrecog-
n1Zable and sickening mass.
There have been several freight mis-
haps :on the Great Northern the past
two days, several freight cars: in each
instance being ditched and traffic de-
layed four to six hours.
Operators say the wrecks are due to
lack Of operators, but the company Off
Gals say they were the result of oxen
fanges.
Owing to the threatening attitude Of
the miners at Clancy, Mont, and the
surly demeanor of the switchmen and
trainmen, the operator there has a per-
sonal guard Of two men. Clancy is a
division point, and an imported man is
on duty there. Division Superintendent
Flood has taken up the station at Clan
cy, it being necessary to feed the oper-
ator in the superintendent 8 car, as the
miners have tabooed him everywhere.

says: - ~ ~
For years I was a constant sufferer
from biliousness and extreme constipa-
full headaches once a week, which some
times lasted three or four days alta time.
Hrape-Nuts food came to my notice
about five years ago. I liked it from
The first and began to use it because I
liked it, without, any thought that it
might help my health. To my surprise
Z noted that after a short time ali my
ailments began to decrease, and they
gradually but surely disappeared. T am
now, and have been for years, com
pletely free from them and enjoy per
feet health. '''-' '0N
Everyone in my house now, eats
Grape-Nuts regularly, even my little g
year-old girl likes it with her Postum
Coffee (another thing we are never
Without) and prefers it to any other
cereal. It pulled her thru difficult
period of teething during the hot
.Weather-she never refused Grape Nuts
when other food could not tempt her to
sat. It is the first food [ intend to give
