There seems no doubt that, with re-
Bpect to small grain at least, 1907 will
be recorded in the annals of the United
States as a comparatively lean" year.
There are, of course, no signs of any
thing even remotely resembling famine"
conditions. Real 'famines" do not occur
in nations which have reached the Ameri-
can level Of popular intelligence. There
Will be enough bread for everybody, but
it will cost little more labor to get it.
The winter wheat crop, which is much
more important and larger than the
spring wheat yield, though attracting less
general attention because its area Of pro-
ductiOn is not so compact, appears to
have suffered most from an unusually cold
and backward spring and the attacks of
insect pests. The following figures, Sc
lected from the government report for
June, are eloquent:
Kansas, the leading winter wheat
State, expected this year on the basis Of
acreage to increase its crop 100000
bushels over last years 100000. The
most expected from Kansas now is 64,-
100000 bushels. Nebraska expects de-
900; Ohio, from 43,O30400 to 29,000,-
600; Indiana, from 100000 to
100000; Illinois, from 38,500000 to
33,0OO,OOO; California, from 27,000,G00
to 100000; oklahoma, from 18,50O,-.
600 to 100000 and Texas from 14,0OO,-
600 to 100000 bushels. Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Missouri expect yields APP
proXimately equal to last years, but the
whole cOuntry's winter wheat crop will
probably be only 3G9,O0O,OOO bushels, as
compared with nearly 493, 100000 last
year.
Bad weather has delayed spring wheat
planting and slightly reduced acreage.
The most favorable estimators do not look
for larger crop than last years, which
was 242, 100000 bushels Thus it is
practically impossible that, however good
the conditions from now on, the spring
wheat yield should make up for the def
cheney, as compared with last year, of
more than 120,00O,0OO bushels in the
winter wheat crops.
Other small grains show similar con-
ditions. OF barley, 168,0OO,O00 bushels.
or 100000 less than last year, is ex-
pected now. The oat crop. greater in
bulk than all the other small grains put
together with 100000 acres more plant
ed, promises yield 20,000.OO0 bushels
smaller than last years. which was 904,-
100000 bushels. 1t is just possible, how
ever, that the corn crop, the surest Of
food grains and the cereal foundation on
which this republic was built, will make
up for some of these shortages.-Chicaso

The Busy Bee.

When you eat a spoonful of honey
you have very little notion as to the
amount Of work and travel necessary
to produce it. To make one pound of
clover honey bees must deprive $4,000
clover blossoms of their nectar, anu 70
do this requires 2,75O,OOO visits to the
blossom by the bees.
In other words, one bee to collect
enough nectar to make one pound of
honey must go from hive to flower and
back 2,75Q,000 times. Then when you
think how far these bees sometimes fly
In search of these clover fields, oftener
than not one or two miles from the
hive, you will begin to get a small idea
of the number Of miles one of the indus
triouS little creatures must travel in
order that you may have the pound Of
honey that gives them so much trouble.
1t may also help you to understand
why the bee is unamiable enough to
sting you if you get in its way. When
one has to work so hard to accomplish
so little, it is quite irritating to be in
terfered with.-PEiiadelphia Record.

mentS. In fact the "taVorlte PreScrfp-

medicine for woman's special ailments
which has any such professional endorse
ment of its several ingredients which
fact is generally recognized as entitled

The "Favorite Prescription" has been

GUILTY OF KILLING MAID.
MIS-. Kaufman, of Sioux Fall, Com
vfcted of Manslaurhter

Mrs. Emma Kaufman, wife of a
prominent citizen of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
was convicted of manslaughter In the
first degree. She has been on trial
charged with causing the death, from
brutal treatment, of her maid, Miss
Agnes Polreis. The minimum term of
imprisonment fixed by the statutes for
the crime is twenty years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary.
The conviction of Mrs. Kaufman
was a great shock to the defendant,
her husband, her son, and her counsel,
all of whom had confidently expected
acquittal. When the fatal words fell
from the lips of the foreman Of the
jury, Mrs. Kaufmann's head sank upon
her hands Throughout the proceed
ings she sat in an attitude of extreme
detection.
The Kaufmanns have resided in
Sioux Falls for about quarter of q
century and are known to practically
every man, woman, and child In the
city. Mr.. Kaufman for years has
been prominently identified with state
politics and Is generally known
throughout South Dakota and adjoin-
ing states.
Agnes Polreis, the domestic whom
Mrs. Kaufman has been convicted Of
killing, entered the employ Of Mrs.
Kaufman on Feb. Is, and only little
over three months before she died at a
Sioux Falls hospital from numerous
wounds, bruises, and cuts.
After her death in il local hospital on
June l her remains were prepared for
burial and shipped TO the parents of
the girl at Parkston Wounds upon the
head OF the dead girl were discovered
by young daughter of William Noel
Ter, a business man of Parkston, who
was an intimate friend Of Miss Pol
refs. 1t was from Miss MOeller that
the first disclosures came. The body
was twice diSinterred and examined for
wounds and bruises.
Ihe evidence secured as the result of
the second examination resulted in the
arrest Of Mrs. Kaufman on the charge
OF having been responsible for the
wounds, gashes, cuts, and bruises which
caused the death Of the girl.
