We hear many complaining that their corn is burned and some who go so far as to declare that rain could not help their crops. While this may be true of some fields an investigation would show that those fields had been so thick ly planted that they could not have matured a crop without an abun dance of rain. There are few fields to our knowledge which show the drouth even through the heat of the day on which would not ma ture some corn without another drop 'of rain.

Threshers are seen and heard in all directions. Walter Hickling spent a day up here , recently. J. W. Corner had eight acres of hog millet down when the rain came. H. B. and Bert Wales and Ellis Divine have bought a thresher and are rolling the grain out. Since Bob Nussbaum moved here last spring he has captured thirteen young coyotes. Robert Traphagen had his fin ger cut pretty badly by a band cutter while feeding a thresher. Matt Droll has got his wheat nearly two-thirds threshed. He has threshed out over 4,000 bushels. Robert Traphagen is going with Thomas Real's thresher , with a team. One day last week one of his horses took sick and died. Uncle Billy says there is one thing connected with threshiug that he is willing to do his full share at and that is , feeding him self. Uncle Billy has a patch of alfal fa and has cut two crops of hay this year. He has all his millet in stock already and nearly ready for winter. Wm. Golman has received orders from an Iowa man , who is now in Oregon , to buy him a farm here and he will move to it this fall. Now , who has a cheap farm to sell ? An Iowa man was looking over the country he're last spring. He has just written Wm. Coleman , "Get a deed for that quarter we looked at first. I will move this fall or winter" . Dallas Divine , a young man of this town. , sowed fifty-four acres of fall wheat , and last week threshed it and it yielded 1488 bushels and will weigh out close to 1600 bushels. > Uncle Billy may be getting to be a pretty hard nut , as the ele ments are after him. His wire fence has been struck three times by lightning , twice by grasshop pers and once by Bob Nussbanm's pony. He is of the opinion that the last stroke was entirely unnec essary. Mrs. P. W. Hutchinson lives in the northeastern portion of South Dakota. She drove all the way down here "with a pony and open buggy , to see the country here. She was so well pleased with it that the family will be here before winter. She spent six days at the home of Wm Coleman. The round trip will make a drive of over 1000 miles.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is posi tive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. order.WHAT WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed , that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root , the great kidney remedy , fulfils every wish in re lieving pain in the back , kindeys , liver , blad der and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it , or bad effects following use of liquor , wine or beer , and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
