Mistakes.

When you make a mistake, don't look

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June 10, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was above normal in tenn
perature, with abundant sunshine for
vigorous growth of all crops. Condi-
tions were favorable for the cultiva-
ton of corn, except in limited areas
saturated by heavy rainfall in pre-
ceding week. Very good progress has
been made in cleaning out the weedy
cornfields, and probably four-fifths OF
the acreage planted has been fairly
we'll cultivated. The stand is gener-
ally below normal, and the stage OF
growth is very uneven on account OF
replanting; but, as a whole, the crop
is as promising as at the correspond
ing date last year, with more favor
able temperature of soil and air TO
promote growth.
The small grain crops are we'll ad-
vanced, and generally heading out.
There are numerous reports OF rank
growth of wheat and oats, but as yet
damage by rust is not indicated ex-
cept in oats in some of the southern
counties. Glover is heavy, and the
early harvest of that crop is in prog
ress. The meadow and pastures are
unusually good. Potatoes and garden
truck are thriving. The yield OF
Strawberries is much above the aver
age. In the northern districts apples
are doing well, but not promising in

There are about 100000 migatory
sheep In Spain which each year traye
as much as 200 miles from the plain,
to the mountains. They are known
as transhumantes and their march,
resting-places and behavior are gov.
erned by special regulations, dating
from the fourteenth century. At GER
tain times no one may travel the same
route as the sheep. which have the
right to Craze on all open and common
land on the way. For this purpose
a road ninety yards. wide must be left
on all fnclosed and private property.
The shepherds lead their nocks, which
follow after and around. The focks
are accompanied by provision mules,
and BY large dogs to guard against
wolves. The merino sheep travel 400
miles to the mountains, and the total
time spent on the migration there and
back II fourteen weeks.
