PiokIinq Time,

Cincinnati Times-Star: We may
all thank heaven that not all the home
ly activities Of the old-fashioned home
have succumbed before the advance
OF modern ideas and modern methods.
We are melted to this comment by
the approach Of picking and canning
time. Today in thousands of homes
those fragrant functions of the kitchen
have been given up. The grocer and
the c~heckbook now look after the fill
ing up of the pantry cabinets. The
old-fashioned swinging shelves in the
cellar are gone from many a home,
and canning day has passed into a
legend.
But in some homes, not only those
of the old Fashioned, but in the homes
of the sensible moderns, this institu-
ton of antiquity, thrift and domestic
enterprise still survives. 1t is pleasant
to know that ere long the pungent and
appetizing aroma Of hot vinegar and
spices will be waited to the front of
the house during picking time, and
that already the fragrance Of hot Der
ries, swimming in their delicious and
many hued juices, have for a brief
space supplanted the more common
place odors of the kitchen
And when winter comes, and jams
like the ambrosia Of the gods; home
made catsup with a ping in 1t, peaches
exuding the flavor Of the orchard. and
other trophies of old fashioned skill
appear upon the table, then once more
will man rejoice that the skill Of our
grandmothers, to some extent at least
still survives triumphant and militant

LITTLE BOY WITH A BUSY DAD.

His Pa is always busy getting rich,
He's always tired when he gets
home at night.
With no n who can tell which is
which,
It's not his fault he mixes wrong
with right.
He never takes his youngster on his
knee
And tells him what is good and what
is bad.
I'm sorry for the little chap, for he
Is one of those who have a busy dad.
His Pa is in his office every day,
He's thinking of his business all the
time,
He's putting many dollar bills away.
AS though not being wealthy is a
crime,
But somehow in the little fellows face
There is a look that's like
and sad.
And II l were to diagnose his case,
It's just because he's got a busy dad.
He'd just like to have his father by his
side,
He'd like to walk along and hold his
hand
Upon his shoulders broad he'd like to
ride,
And ask him things he doesn't I'M
derstand.
If he could tell, as all his playmates do,
His troubles to his father, he'd be
glad.
How pitiful his case is, through and
through,
The little boy with such a busy dad.

NORTHWEST CROPS.

1.-THE government has by this time
completed It's inspection of the crops
in the northwest for its July report"
says The Minneapolis Tribune. LAS a
growing month, and that is the full
value Of a June condition, it is some
years since developments have been
so generally favorable.
There Is every reason, therefore, to
expect a better prospect at the end of
this month than was suggested at the
beginning. Moisture has beer plenti-
full, in some sections excessive, and
the growth most luxuriant. Low lands
thave undoubtedly suffered from too
much water, but where there has been
impairment or even loss, it has be-
come moro than compensated for by
the excellence of the prospects in the
khigher and lighter soil country in the
kwestern half Of the northwest.
ut, is not to be forgotten, also, that
the Red river valley n other heavy
soil areas nave developed drainage
facilities in the last few years. Ex-
cessive moisture is less a menace thar
1t used to be, when it was a common
phrase that If the valley had too much
rain the rest Of the country was in
fine condition. While there have been
some complaints, the northwest, as a
whole, is unusually free from damage
at this time of year.
"It would be almost too much to ex-
pect, however, that the crop growing
period is to pass without a scare of
some dimensions. The rank growth
OF the small grains is making a heavy
straw crop n the liability to rust is
very great, providing, of course, that
the atmospheric conditions favor it's
development. The evidence since 1904
{ has pointed to rust being endemic in
certain sections of the spring wheat
belt, but, since that year there has
been no general spread of the disease,
although no season has been without
it's discovery of a limited infection. AS
far as the present season is considered
to date no weak spots have as yet de-
veioped and any. talk of damage is
based merely on possibilities,
More settled weather and a gradual
working into higher temperatures in
order that fields might dry out slowly
ard the too sudden advent of a hot
spell be avoided are desired the first
half OF the coming month, at least.
While the small grain crops have
stooled heavily. it is claimed that the
underground is superficial and that
the crop might not stand up well un-
der strain, although the COG May
would seem to have favored a good
rootage.
Indications are not wanting In the
speculative market. however. Of in
creasing concern owe the spring cror,
situation. The drastic decline in pric-
es has made the domestic market the
cheapest in the world. Much Of the
