fifty per cent. above the average The
same tale is brought from the Pacific
coast, where all the states say the gen.
eral run of agricultural products will
bring in thousands of dollars more
than they did last year.
In New England the nay harvest
was a fine growth. While the potato
crop, of large acreage and important
in these states, has generally shown
good growth, an absolute prediction
cannot be given until the potato crop
is really made. Apples show fair
promise. Specialties like onions, to-
bacco and cranberries ere showing up
we'll.
Virginia's wheat has made more
than an average crop. and oats under
unfavorable condition may show up
poorly in some localities. Cotton will
not be quite as large crop as last
year. Tobacco, which is one of the
greatest items, will be larger crop
than has been raised in several years
From Kentucky the Inland Farmer
says there will be $7OO,OOO.OOO realized
on the cotton and tobacco crops. They
have the largest blue grass seed crop
| ever gathered. Hemp is doing well,
with exceptional crops of wheat, rye
and barley.

New York, Aug. 22.-Records of
childish romances scrawled on walls,

the city 81 100000 to efface
Superintendent c. B. J. Snyder has

cost to put the 500 school buildings in
shape for the fall term, which opens
Sept. II. Practically all that needs

walls. windows and desks. which were
defaced last year by the children.
There are 65,000 boys and girls in

there are as many girls as boys, this
means about 347 800 romances. Judg,

STAGES OF OPERATION.

Spokane. Wash, Aug. 22.-Biscuits
made from flour, of which the plump
heads of grain nodded lazily in the
morning sun % minutes before, is a
performance recorded at Waitsburg,
Wash. It is believed to be a world S
record. The wheat was cut on a hill
side farm, owned by N B. Atkinson.
The various stages of operation of con-
verting standing grain into biscuits

9:O3-Ripe wheat standing in the
field.
9:04-First head clipped from the
straw by the heading machine.
9:0S-Grain started into the cylin-
der of the threshing machine.
9:11-Four sacks threshed, sacked
sewed and loaded onto automobile.
9:14-Grain received at MILL two
miles from field. weighed and dropped
into the receiving hopper.

Science Awed When Mans Blood
Makes Wife Part of Himself

i'd, when Bradley offered to bare his
own arm for the sacrifice.
The husband is a strapping six foot
err, strong. dark, remarkably virile
man. An athlete all his life. he had
never known a day of serious illness.
Just as his wife was a typical example
of womanly weakness, he was a type of
the strong man.
The doctors gladly accepted Brad
ley's offer and preparation for the
TRANSMISSION were Immediately begun.
A vein in the husbands powerful fore
arm was opened and a pint of his
blood poured into the veins of the
wife.
Think Woman Resembles Brother.
A radical change in Mrs. Bradley
was noticeable within twenty-four
hours. She began to put on flesh,
improve in color. and to gain ner-
vous strength. In a week she was so
strong that her operation, a minor
one, could be performed, and few
hours later she had recovered entirely
from the shock and was convalescent.
Since then she has been under close
observation by the physicians, and
many experts have been called in to
view her case. Relatives who have
visited her at the hospital say that
they would hardly know her and that
she appears more like her younger
brother, an athlete or some reputation
than her former self.
Mrs. Bradley wants to leave the hos
pital now, but the physicians are de-
laying her departure as long as posi-
BILE in order to record the changes
! that are being worked in her. She
dislikes the notoriety that her case has
ontailed, but has agreed to submit to
it for few days longer for the good
that it may do in furthering medical
knowledge.
The only explanation possible. &C
cording to the doctors, is that the
| blood of Patrick Bradley has so
changed his wife that she has in re-
ality become a part of him. The mat
ter, which will be the subject for dis
cussion at the next meeting of the Es-
sex County Medical society, opens all
manner of possibilities.

An idea that floods and a backward
spring have had far reaching damag-
ing effect is most satisfactorily dis
proved by thorough canvass of the
agricultural districts.
The first accurate and comprehcn-
sive report on the agricultural GitUa-
ton is supplied through Lord & Thorn
as, the western advertising agents,

tive outline of crop conditions from
practically every publisher of farm pa
pers in the United States. for the ben

liable information on the country s

measuring of crops after harvest is

Reports from man. states arc genu
inc eye openers. showing prosperity
in fact, unusually abundant wealth
where the average individual would
hardly have expected it, and the total
crop showing is so decidedly favorable
that, while only few of the earlier
products have been iervested, one
would have to be decidedly pessimis
tic to see anything but the most en-
couraging conditions in every Locality
Authorities in Kansas agree that the
state has before it the biggest crop OF
all kinds in tho history of the country
Arthur Capper, publisher of the
Missouri Valley Farmer at Topeka
kas. and allied publications, reports
wheat acreage of 7.O0O,0OO; corn, g.
$4,000 acres; and states that the arg.
ct crop in the history of the state is
assured. This report is fully indoors
ed by the Farmers Advocate of Tope
ka. 1t states that the thraShing re
ports show the western section of the
state to have produced eighteen tc
twenty two bushels per acre of wheat
of good quality.
James Atkinson of the Iowa Home
stead reports crop conditions on the
whole better than they were on the
corresponding date of last year. He
estimates a corn crop of between 30

New York, Aug. 22.-An unusual
lease of memory in an animal has just
come to light at the Bronx park zoo.
six years ago, when J. Alden Loring
twas curator at the Bronx park zoo,
The made a trip to Alaska to get
herd of white mountain sheep.
He visited AdmiraPs island, just off
the coast, and there came across
cub bear of the Alaskan black bear
lspecies. This he brought back with
him, together with the mountain
Esheep. The bear cub was little fell
low. It's mother had been shot by
hunters and it had been reared on a
bottle. The cub became very fond OF
Mr. Loring. He continued to feed it
on bottle until large enough to eat
solid food.
The cub was put in a cage by itself
and became a part of the Bronx park
Zoo collection. At first he was as gen.
tile as kitten and loved nothing bet
ter than romp with Mr.. Loring. Mr..
Loring named the cub The Admiral.
He is now the largest bear in the
fCOlOly anu WGlSiS JOO pOuiluo.
Curator Loring left the Bronx park
ZOO about five years ago. He went to
Denver and became a curator of the
ZOO of that city. The Admiral grew
into a big bear. soon outstripping all
the others AS The Admiral grew he

quently manifested itself.
A few days ago Mr. Loring visited
the Bronx park ZOO He had not been
there since he left five years before.
He went to The AdmiraPs cage and
the great bear. as soon as he heard
Mr.. Loring's voice, rushed to the bars
and reached his paws through to his
old friend
Mr.. Loring petted and patted the
bear, finally placing his hand in its
open mouth, in spite of the keeper
warning. The bears eyes twinkled
and when the hand was withdrawn he
licked i. eXcitedly.
The keepers are still talking about
the incident. for it was the first time
i'll months that anyone has dared to
go near the great beast.

mental change in the woman that has
astonished the physicians at the insti-
tuition and may result in transforms
ton that will cause a revolution in
medical science.
Mrs. Bradley is rapidly turning into

ment, Mrs. Bradley herself would be
the first to laugh at the idea. The
doctors declare that they can even de-
tect a change in the timbre of Mrs
Bradley's voice, that it has taken on
an unmistakable masculine tone.
All this has been effected by the in
fusion into the woman's veins of a
large quantity of mans blood.

So delicate was Mrs. Bradley that
the doctors pointed out to her husband
that it would be extremely dangerous
to use the knife until her system had
been built up to bear the shock.
The operation was necessary, how
ever, to preserve his wife's health
and Bradley insisted that it be per
