MEANING OF GOOD CROPS.

Each Harvest Season Adds to Coun-
try's Prosperity.
Early In the spring the country be-
gins to ask, How are the crops?' Our
prosperity during the twelve months
following the harvest depends, in
very large measure, on the answer to
this question, says Success. Out of the
ground comes our wealth. In these
years Of abundant prosperity the farm
er takes from the earth each harvest
season products Of value OF $1,000
600, 700, and more than third Of this
enormous sum represents the two great
crops Of the West-corn and wheat
The question, "How are the crops?
becomes each year, therefore, as the
harvest time approaches, one Of vital
Importance; and the earlier the knowl-
edge Of the size and quality OF the
crops, the more valuable 1t is to the
commercial community. Railway men
need to know In advance the outcome
Of the harvest, that they may prepare
for the transportation Of the crops to
the markets. Bumper crops mean big
tonnage, not only Of products from the
farms to the consumers, but also Of
merchandise from the manufacturing
towns to the farms, bought by the
farmers with their produce.
When railway men are assured Of
big crops they spend many millions Of
dollars for new locomotives and cars
and rails and many millions more for
tho Improvement of their roadbeds and
the extension of their lines into new
territory. The steel makers are Jointly
Interested with the railway men in the
harvest, for one-fourth Of the enormous
product Of the steel mills of this coun-
| try is purchased by the railways. When
the crops fail the railways cancel their
orders for rails and bridges and equip
ment, and steel descerds from prince
to pauper. Then all the big manufac-
turers OF the country, whether Of
wagons or plows, Of shoes or clothing.
must know whether their great GUS
toner, the farmer, is to have money to
spend from harvest to harvest
So It Is with the merchants all
through the agricultural country. Even
more important is early knowledge OF
the crop prospects to the bankers, who
must not only finance the movement OF
the crops to market, but must also
know whether the harvest is to cause
expansion or contraction Of capital ven
lures through the country. Then there
are the -four millers and elevator own
ers, who are directly interested In the
marketing of rops. Finally, there is
the great body of men who speculate In
the rise and fall Of commodity prices
and who risk many millions Of dollars
in backing their opinions as to the vol
pine of the crops and the demand fol
them In the markets of the world

A good exercise to strengthen the
back and remove excessive flesh from
the hips can be taken in ones own bed
room. 1t consists simply in picking up
a small stool or chair and raising it
high over the head, and then bending
over, placing it on the floor. Repeat
this movement. raising the stool high
above the head, and putting it back on
the floor until tired. 1t Is good idea
also to take deep breath when you
raise the arms above the head and ex-
pei when you put the stool to the floor.
This is a vigorous exercise. and IL kept
up will not only strengthen the muscles
of the back. but drive away the super
fiuous flesh from the hips.-Medical
