HICKS

According to Hicks a storm period
will center on the 9th, involving from
Sth to 18th, and extending from about
the 5th to 10Th, which fact increases
the probabilities of rainfall at that
period. Hicks would have it that
some localities will get heavy down
pours of rain, but the moisture will
fall short Of the general necessities
of growing crops. A reactionary
period is central on 18th, 18th and
10th. This period Is to bring very
warm weather, to be followed by
cooler. The next regular storm period
covers the 10th to oath. Electrical
storms will develop in western sec
tons at the beginning of this period.
The Venus influence, and, the moon
being IN the equator, will INSURE
thunder storms at that time. The
22nd to oath will bring a elimination
of clustering storm clouds with VOL
ent gusts of wind and local showers.
A reactionary period centers on the
9th and 2Sth. AS the Venus period
Is central in early August and its
influence extends over most of July
and August, the probabilities of rain
fall are increased, but for all that
Hicks insists that the probabilities of
a sufficient rainfall are not favorable.
However, he still adheres to former
predictions that Northwestern to cen
trail sections will not suffer such lack
Of rain as in the past two years,
which is encouraging for as in the
northwest. Hicks predictions have
been that the drouth will gradually
disappear to the south and westward,
making the north feel the effects of
relief first.

TRYING TO REPEAL LAW

The second list OF adulterated food
and drugs is just being mailed from
the Office of the Food and Drug De-
partment to the various county aud
itors Of the state for publication in the
various official papers. The list has
been delayed for nearly three months
on account of the fact that several
manufacturers, wholesalers and deal
trs threatened to sue the commits
sioner for damages IL their goods
were advertised throughout the state
as a~dulterated and 1t was necessary
for the the commissioner to give them
q hearing and also to have several
items OF food and drugs reanalyzed in
order to eliminate any possibility OF
q mistake. After discrimination how
ever, it was found that no mistake
had been made in any instance and
the list has gone forward as first pre-
pared for publication.
The publication OF lists Of adulter-
ated foods and drugs Is q very Inn
portant factor In the enforcement Of
the pure food and drug laws. Adulter-
.ted ana spurious articles cannot

has been beaten by only n COW in
the world, viz: Pontiac Lady Korn-
dyke No. 92700. The Bookings cows
daily average during the test was
111.27 pounds of milk, 1888 pounds
fat, and ass pounds of butter. This
is the highest record ever produced
by any COW west Of New York. Two
important facts in connection with
the test are: the COW was not forced
in order to produce this record; and
it was produced on South Dakota
feeds.
College Belle Wayne was bred and
raised at the State College. Profess
sor Larsen states that by forcing her
record could have been raised con
siderably, but this was undesirable
because she is working on a yearly
test. She is of excellent Holsein
type, and before freshening weighed
1890 pounds in good average condi-
ton. When the yearly test is COM
pleted, Professor Larsen expects to
make an excellent report concerning
this great COW.
During the official test she was fed
and MIXED four times a day. The
daily ration in four meals was ground
corn. 4 pounds; ground oats, (1-3
wheat, 8 pounds; old process oil
meal, 4 pounds; bran, s pounds. She
was also fed sliced beets with the
grain, corn silage, and clover and
alfalfa hay.

this laundry would have been for
those patriots in the Illinois legisla-
ture a couple of years ago. Hereafter

PROTECTION FOR GAME BIRDS
Continued from Page IL

United States government now con-
trolls, or owns, fifty-four per cent of
the area of the city-which is used in
beautiful parks, streets, public build
ings, etc. On Capital Hill there is a
mania for acquiring additional land,
and private owners of real estate
have in consequence made immense
fortunes in the District of Columbia
property. Very recently the senate
passed a bill providing for an appro-
prihtion of s1,750,0OO to build an
armory for the District militia. Ar
mories are fine things, but Congress-
mar Byrns of Tennessee, declared on
the floor Of the house that upon in
vestigation, the only argument which
he has been able to find in favor of
this great expenditure of public money
was that this armory might be used
for the inaugural ball once every
four years. Another public measure
seeks to appropriate between five and
seven millions Of dollars for the pur.
chase of a piece OF land lying be-
tween the capital grounds and tine
union station, for the purpose Of in.
creasing the extent of the Capital
park. OF course 100000 would
built 40 public buildings in the coun-
try at an average Of $4,000 apiece.
A proposition to expend the money In
this manner would be looked upon as
extravagant, but for q Washington
park-that Is another thing! AS
strange as 1t may seem. with all the
vast improvements in government
property, the United States is now
paying $600.00O a year in rents to
private owners Of property in the
city Of Washington. The reason is
said to be that there Is no money In
the treasury to put up the necessary
public buildings. Congress has mil.
hons for the wastefulness Ct the
army and navy, for luxurious guar.
tiers for ~oficers. and for the mainten.
ance Of an air Of magnincence and
grandeur on shipooard. and in army

short of autocracy. With a lavish
hand Uncle Sam supplies every de-
mand of its high priced officials,
buys extensive grounds for parks, and
purchases tons OF powder which Is
fired senselessly In strange con-
trast there are thousands of govern
ment employees in Washington, who
have spent the best years of their
life in the government service, and

TREASURY IN GOOD SHAPE

The report Of condition of the state

June 80, showed total cash in all
funds, 1892, 2S9.26. OF this $207, 3O2.3S
was in the common school income
fund, and is being paid out rapidly,
and will reduce the total. The gen.
eral fund carried on that date, SAL
1897, and in the twine plant fund
there is $S5,966.S 1t is estimated
that the cash in the general fund will
