WASHINGTON, d. c., August 4, 1906.

This disturbance will be at its greatest ex
tent and intensity on the Pacific coast and
slope, will be above average intensity through
out its course but will bring less severe weather
than will occur within few days of and u.
A great fall in temperature will come with
the cool wave Of this disturbance and froSts
may be expected where tkey sometimes occur
in August. Showery weather will follow the
low except in the drouth districts of the corn
belt heretofore named.
Only about one half the usual amount Of
rain fell in July as an average Of the six best
corn producing States, and while the damage
TO the corn crop in July was probably not AS
great as il was in June the rainfall Of July
was almost exactly as predict and the crop Is
not now in condition to withstand the August
drouth.

ing that estimate. The government report for
June showed a considerable decrease in con-
ditions of the corn crop as compared with
June, 1905, and there is still decrease at the
beginning of August. But 10 their total per
eentages the government crop reports experts
made the per cent Of improved conditions
in the seven Southern States, where almost no
corn is produced, overbalauce the 5 per cent.

Of per cent. thus claiming that the 1906 corn
crop would be sc, 600, 600 better than the 1905
crop. That report caused fall of 8 cents a
bushel on corr and the farmers lost a million
dollars thereby.
BY estimating the corn crop conditions by
States and on bushels the reports OF the gov
ernment experts would have shown a decrease
of per cent. in the corn crop conditions at
end Of June or loss of 5000, 600 bushels
as compared with June, 1905, and with that
kind Of report the price of corn would have
gone up cents The manipulations Of the
government corn crop for June, 1906, has
thus cost the farmers millicns Of dollars and
the money has gone into the pockets Of the

lated BY the leaders Of the great trusts.
If the so called government scientists would
base their reports on bushels of grain produced
in the States this evil would be remedied.

About quarter of a mile from the Sea
side House and about sixteen miles from
Astoria, Oregon, there is deposit of clam
shells which is probably the largest thing of
the kind in the United States. The shells
cover an area of over four acres and are in
places to a depth Of ten feet. The amount
Of shells is incalculable. Over one thousand
loads have been hauled away to make roads,
but that quantity is hardly noticed in the
diminution of the immense deposit From
time to time relics of the old clam eating
tribes that made that place their head
quarters are foand. A party recently found
a clam-opener. It was made from a whale 5
tooth. is about eight inches long, and is
ground sharp at the end. There are some
sixteen feet of soil on top of these immense
clam beds, on which grow fir trees, some of
them four hundred years old.

IMPORTANT TO
FARMERS |!

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LeGore, Md, to all points
on the W. NJ. R. R. This is of great impor
lance to you, as it puts you in position TO
get the best land improver and crop grower
on the market at very reasonable prices.
Our lime is shipped hundreds Of miles and
into ten (10) different states for agricultural
use, and its superior quality has been known
for years. We can manufacture the best lime
on the market because we have the best
formation of limestone in the East. And we
have had experience enough to know how to
proportion the different kinds or stratas OF
rock so as to produce the best agricultural
lime manufactured.
Ten years ago our lime was used by the
farmers along this road in large quantities,
but the high rates instituted made the price
prohibitive. Very reasonable rates are now
in effect and we are looking, forward to build
ing up very large trade along this line. We
would like to correspond with all farmers who
desire to make more money by improving
their farms and growing better crops.
postal addressed TO us will bring fall
particulars.

Mi-Careme FESTIVAL.

In Paris and Southern France, also
in Florida, preparations are going sayly
forward for the Mi-Careme or Mid-Lent
Festival. In Paris, the street pageant
and carnival is followed by the carnival

goes masked and in costume, the gor-
geous gowning and the splendid details

cation drawn from different periods. rem
derinE the scene one of great brilliancy
and interest.
Probably Mi-Careme is more beautiful
Mt Nice than anywhere else; the floral
procession, in which carriages are beau
tifully decorated. being the most striking
feature of the pageant The number OF
Americans who go every year to Europe
for this festival is very large; the NUM-
Der who remain in the United States and
enjoy the AmericaniZed Mid-Lent car
nival is even larger.
What in Paris and Southern Europe is
a celebration breaking in upon Lenten
quiet and solemnity, was in England tho
fourth Sunday OF the spring fast univer-
sally called "Mothering Sunday" The
title came from one of the oldest and
most rigidly observed OF the earlier Gus
toms in England. but long since obsolete,
though the name still clings to the day.
on this day 1t was the custom for chill

but most especially the mother; at which
time they carried with them a present
of cakes called .Simnel Cakes, and the
visit was termed nEoing A-lothering.'
Upon the occasion the mother bestowed
upon her child her blessing. The genial
herrick, in conzonet addressed to
Dianeme, says:
..I'll to thee a sinlnel bring,
'Gainst thou go a-motherng:
So that, when she blesses thee,
Half that blessing thou'lt give me-"
The use of "Simnel cake" was not
confined to this gift brought to the
mother of the family. 1t was almost
universal custom to make these cakes
during Lent, at Easter and Christmas.
