WIMIIVOTOV , Antj. 2. The following Is the
weather crop bulletin Issued by the weather
bureau : TYmiporatnro The week was cool
In nil regions east of the Itochy mountains ,
oxcntit along the gulf coast , Including south
ern ( ieorifia and the greater portion of Texas.
In iho northwosl and In states north of the
Ohio valley , Including the entire lake region ,
the dally temperature was from ( Ho 8 degree !
below the normal. The -tamo conditions prevailed -
vailed over Now York and Pennsylvania and
the greater portion of Arkansas. From thn
lower Ohio vnlloy westward to Kansas , the
dollclency In loinperatnro amounted to about
4 to ( ' degress per day. West of the Kocky
imuntnlns the week was wanner than usual ,
CM opt along the California and Oregon
c < i sts where the normal tempera-
tuio prevailed. Tlio month of
July has also Iron cooler than
us.mil In all districts east of tlio Kockv moun
tains , the daily temporatiira for the month
being I to I ! degrees below the usual Jnlv
temperatiiro throughout the corn and spring
\\heatreglonj , whllo In the corn region the
daily dellclency ranged from 2 to 4 degrees.
The seasonable tcmporaturu from January 1
to July 1)1 ) continue * slightly in excess on the
northern states east of the Mississippi hut
this excess Is duo to the hiirh temperatures
which oceured before the growing season.
Precipitation There has been more rain
than usual for the week , irencrally along the
Atlantic coast , in the Intoiior of the southern
states and at Uocky mountain stations. The
greater portion of the cotton region
has received unusually heavy rains ilm1-
Ing the week , although Louisiana and south
ern Texas received less than the normal rain
fall. In Arkansas the rainfall ranged iron ) I
toO inches , and in portions of Georgia and
South Carolina It ranged from 2 to 0 Inches.
These heavy rains have doubtless proved un
favorable to crowlnir cropi. The principle
corn and spring wheat states received loss
than the usual amount of rain during the
week , although well distributed .showers are
reported irom these sections. The sections
also reported less rain than usual during tno
month of July , except In Kansas and western
Nebraska wheio tlio rainfall for the month
was excessive. There was also more than
tlio usual amount of rain during the month
of July over the greater portions of the
southern and middle Atlantic .states , oxcent
in Louisiana , Florida and the greater portion
of Texas , where iho monthly rainfall was
dellcient.

Tno week pa t has been rather unfavor
able for crop Int.'rosts , being too cool for the
besl growth of corn nnd lee wet for rapid
lirogress in haying nnd harvesting. The
average temperature has been about 5 de
grees cooler than usual nnd the amount of
sunablno about normal. The rainfall ha )
been above th'j average , except along the
Missouri river north of the Platto. From
Franklin county north to the Piatto and
west to Perkins county It amounted to more
than two Inches.
While corn has grown well , It has not
grown as rapldlv us it ought for the last
week of July , anil is now at least fifteen days
behind the average condition at this time of
the year. The wet \\cnlhor has interfeied
somewhat with haying .and harvesting and
has caused some injury to grain in the shook.
Some injury is reported to oats by rust and
to wheat by blight , in the northern part of
Iho state.

OF MEREST JOJIIE FARMER.
Seine weeks npo wo jjnvo the results of
n porlos of experiments in ilotiissolllnR
corn nt ono of tlie experiment atntlons ,
says the llomodtoad. After the corn
hnd ranched the p.'opor 8tno of devel
opment the tusHols of nlternnto rows
wore removed and the result was that
the stalks from which the tassels had
boon removed yielded CO per cent more
corn than those stallcn on which the tas
eels wore permitted to remain. The In
terpretation plncod upon the answer
Riven to this Interrogation of nature
was Unit the production of pollen
Is a proc-oss very exhaustive of vitality ,
of which an individual stalk Irid a
definite , fixed quantity. If a portion of
It were iicutl in the production of pollen
it was eo much substracted from the
cnpacltv to produce grain , whllo on the
other hand , if the stalk wore relieved
from the duty of producing pollen , this
burden being thrown unon a neighbor ,
the etal | { thus relieved would have more
vitality loft to enter upon the production
of grain. The thooiy looks plausible.
Hut In the meantime In glancing over
a lot of old neuspapurs , wo ran across aNew
Now York Tribune of Dccombnr H , 1.S80 ,
in which it is stated that I'rof. Uoal nar
rates an experience which contains a
jfood suggestion for the renovation of
run-out strains of corn. Two varieties
of yellow dent , much alike , had boon
used on neighboring farms , ono for ten
years and the other for liftcon. Seed
from the two lots wore planted in alter
nate rows on a plot of ground quite by
iUelf , and in duo time the tops of one set
of rows were cut olT s-o that a perfect
cross was secured. The yield from the
eroded seed exceeded the yield of that
nnterosicd as l. " > , ' ! exceeds IIJO.
Jn both the recent experiments and in
that of eleven years ago the result is
practically the same , namely , a fifty per
cent increase In the detassclled stalks as
compared with those on which the tas
sels wore left. Was It because the do-
ta-sullod stalks not being called upon to
expend viiror in the production of pol
len , more was left to dnvoto to the pro
duction of grain , or was it simply
owing to the benefit derived from cross-
fei'tili/rtionas the report of Prof. Deal's
experiment implies'r
Our correspondent has iniulo us aware
that a number of Homestead leaders are
going to experiment in tlotiusscllin ? this
hcason. Wo would bo glad to know
which of the two causes assigned for the
increase is correctand to this end would
like to see some of the experimenters
carry the experiment a little farther.
If cross IcrtiluiiUon alone produces the
increase tnon to enclose the tassels of
altern ito rows in paper b.igs without re
moving the tassel and before the pollen
if ready to fall , so as to make sure that
the silk shall not be pollenixcd from the
tassel of its own stalk , ought to secure
the same increase as detasselling.
It m.iy bo thought Immaterial what
the cause is so long as dotassclling pro
duces the increased yield , but it is not
immaterial. The discovery of nature's
secrets never is immaterial. It always
leads to practical benefit. Somebody
said to franklin about his kilo-Hying
discovery : "Of what use is it ? " "Ci
what use is a ehlldV" was the reply. "It
may become a man. " If detassolling
produces increased yio'd ' because all the
vitality in the seed and stalk go to the
production of grain , then it is quite
possible that the rule will work both
ways that bettor and more vigorous
pollen will bo made by a stalk that is re
lieved from the duty of making cars. If
this should prove true , then it is worth
trying to see whether dotassolled stalks
of one sot and the do-cared of another
sot growing side by side would not pro
duce seed 60 or oven 100 per cent more
vigorous than that now used. And if
that should bo found to be true , there is
no farmer worthy of the name who
would not regularly and gladly cultivate
a separate seed plat.
Scours in Calvcx.
Recently a wrisor in speaking of the
care of calves has this to say about the
ill effects of scours :
"Hundreds of calves die annually , or
are stunted in growth by this scourge ,
*
and it may bo said to lie a voluntarysac
rifice , as by the exorcise of good judg
ment in feeding , the disease may bo
wholly prevented or at least its fatal ter
mination avoided , for , in nine cases out
of ten. seours will bo found to bo the
effect of neglect , in ono way or another.
Perhaps the change from whole to skim
milk if > made too suddenly ; or perhaps
the milk la given the calf cither too hot
or too cold ; or if the calf is not yet weaned
it is allowed to suck its dam when the
latter is overheated or exci oil. In all
these cases scourj is almost euro to be
the result of quite apparent neglect or
carelessness. Occasionally , however , a
case may occur without any apparent
cause. , 'Very likely the calf has a sour
otomach , out the feeder does not notice
anything wrong and is quite surprised to
see after : i while that the oalf has an at
tack of the scours. If V > 6 case wore
taken in hand when first itf > ticodit would
bo found to bo very easy to deal with ;
but generally it is neglected in the hope
that it will euro itself , or as it is conven
iently called , "run its course. " Too often
it debs run its course not a very long
ono , to bo sure , but a very effective ono
dysentery and death.
"Prevention is a hundred times bolter
than cure , and by the exercise of sound
judgment and it tolliironco in feeding ,
scours may bo entirely prevented. If ,
however , a case develops , as soon as
noticed , give the calf ono or two raw
eggs shells and all. This is very aim-
p'to , homely remedy , but It has always
proved a tatitft utory on in n > y experi
ence if , applied in the are liorstago-i.
have given as many as six eggs to a
calf in one day not all at once , of
course but at intervals through
the day and I have boon very
seldom compelled to resort to medicine -
cine for a cure. The beauty of this
remedy lies In Its homeliness ; farmers
generally hav plenty of eggs about , and
as they are perfectly harmless ( except
when tliov have passed Into the sore and
yellow leaf of an ogg's life ) there need
ho no fear of an experienced hand giving
the calf an overdose.
"As a precautionary measure , calves
newly weaned should bo given ono or
two tablespoonfuls of lime water in the
milk they drink. This will correct
acidity of the stomach if any exists and
prevent it , if none in present , for , as I
naid before , prevention Is hotter than
euro , and If wo feed our calves care
fully and guard them from all tno vari
ous ( 'causes of scours , wo tlnd it less
troublesome and more satisfactory and
prolitablo than treating the complaint
after It has gained a foothold. "
Kami liiitti'i'-Makliii ; .
Can all the washing and working bo
done in the churn ? When in the proper
time to ball ? Why does butter some
times come out of print mold rough ? As
the above questions are often asked , wo
are pleased to POO them answered in the
following from the Orange.udd ) Rirmor :
"Tho cream should not be too old but
should ho Bour ; when ready for churn
ing test the temperature with a ther
mometer ; it should bo as low as 58 °
In warm weather and from
000 to ( JU ° when cold. If cieam
is too thick it may bo thinned wltii
water. When the butter has gathered
to the size of. peas.'draw oil the butter
milk and wash butter by pouring In
clear , cold water , and churning. Repeat
this until the water Is clear when drawn
olT. D ai olT water , and sprinkle the
salt In upon thn butter ; clunn as before
eo as to thoroughlymiix the salt Into the
butter , which will now be in a compact
mass , Lot it harden a few hours ; then
work the romalninpr buttermilk out , being -
ing careful not to work more than Is
ncccossary. Do not use the hands.
Print the butter when the buttermilk
has been worked'out. If the butter
print Is well soaked ; In water before using
the pals will bo smooth. "
Pointers on Sugar Hooti.
By prosecuting the sugar-boot In
dustry , every possible advantage should
bo taken of the experience that has
been gained by others , says the Deot
Sugar I'jtitorpriso. From this experience -
ionco wo learn that a light , sandy loam
soil should bo selected th'it has a porous
sub-soil , and has sulllclont slope that
will not allow standing water , as water
slandinir upon a crop of boots will
almost , If not altogether , destroy thorn.
The land should bo plowed early In
the fall , In August if possible , to a
depth of two or three Inches , and then
harrowed to make a level surface.
This will allow the woods to grow and
by a later plowing , that should bo done
to a depth of ton Inches , they will bo
destroyed and thus lessen the laoor of
cultivation ttio following season. At
the time of the latter plowing it is rec
ommended to sub-soil to a depth of about
eight inches. If land is plowed in this
way there will bo no dillicully for the
beets to grow downward and thus secure
ho moisture required ,
If several plowings were invon the
ground in the fall , each succeeding one
being slightly deeper than the ono
previous , additional good results would
bo secured. Those repeated plowings
would both thoroughly jiulyorl/.o the
soil and also assist greatly to decom
pose any substance there might bo litho
the land , beside destroying nearly all
the weeds. We admit that this plan is
somewhat expensive , but any fanner
can realize it is cheaper to destroy
weeds by plowing than by doing so
whoa cultivating the growing crop.
With good selection of land and by
thorough preparation in the fall the
labor of cultivation will bo materially
cheapened and much bolter results ob
tained.
Land thus prepared docs not usually
require plowing in the spring , unless
weeds should bo too plentiful , and in
that case the plowing should bo shal
low biillicient only to thoroughly destroy
the weeds. The harrow should bo
thoroughly used and the beets planted
as early as the condition of the season
will admit.
The following novel plan for ringing
hogs may be of service for these who
practice it : Take a stick , say an old
fork handle three or four foot long , and
ono inch from end bore 5 inch hole ; four
in.hosJrom this hole bjro another S
inch hole. Then take a 5 inch rope and
run through first hole with a knot on
the end of rope. Then run through the
second hole and leave a loop , the lower
end of which is five inches from the
stick. 'I'm a knot on upporsidoof stick ,
then cut tlu surplus rope off and you
have a hog holder. Take the stick in
your hands with the rope loop
hangincr down , walk up to
the hog , reach the stick out
and slip the loop over bis nose and with
a quick motion move your hands over
liis hack ; pull back a httlo and twist on
your slick ; the same as you would put a
twitch on a hor.so's nose , and you have
your hog. IIo won't move as long as
you keep the rope twisted. After you
nave rung two or three and got used to
it you can take your rings and ringers
and ring 100 hogs an hour easily. I
always ring mine and my neighbor's
hogs alone. If a hog is inclined to bo
ugly so much the bettor , for when he
opens his mouth to bite you have him ,
for there will bo no trouble getting the
rope over his noso.
Midsummer Mistakes.
The farmer ia likely to lot the pigs
and lambs care for themselves for a
season , just now , says the Orange Judd
Farmer. It is bad policy , however , as
this is a critical time when thought and
care do much for the young things. It
is a mistake to allow a full diet of corn
now with the intention of substituting
shorts , oats , etc. , after harvest. The
"frame material" will come into the
building lee lalo to add the needed
strength. The right method is the only
successful ono for feeding breed
ing stock. If ono has no
regular pasture for the swine , it should
bo provided from a corner of the meadow
at once. After August 1 weaning lambs
can bo turned into the corn Hold , having
by this time gleaned the stubble field of
the small grain. They will eat much of
the useless grass and weeds as well as
the lower blades from the corn stalks.
This policy is much wiser than to allow
them to continue on the stale stubble oren
on p.irchcd and exhausted pastures , al
ready overstocked. By this change iho
regular pasture c.ui bo permitted to
grow a full aftermath for early winter
feeding.
About Stacking Grain.
Ono of the things most essential to the
profits of Binall gialn is the stacking.
So little care is taken that it is "piled"
when there should bo the greatest care
exercised. When the grain sotllos Iho
l-uil of Iho straw will incline downward
in order that the water may run oil and
not be taken in the stack or rick. In
putting up loose grain too much care
cannot bo taken to BOO that the center
of the stack is kept full and well tramp
led from the ground up. The greatest
trouble is when the center is only kept
lovei with the sides till the stack or
rick Is ready to bo drawn In. Would
prefer ricks to stacks in loose grain and
If the grain is weedy bo careful not to
gel the rick too wldo , neither tramp the
out edges too much. It will not take
water and settles and packs much hotter -
tor than stacks and II is much easier on
the stacker.

A
Hon. Ringer Herman , chairman of the com
mittee on claims , house of representatives
D. C. , In communlcallnir with \V. U. Hearst ,
editor and DI oprietor of the Han Francisco
Examiner , and who Is also at the t'nad of the
Examiner uiiro.m of claims with which Tin :
OVMIA Hnr is associated , says :
"The. claims already lilcd in the interior
department aggregate r-M.oOO.OUU , as per
valuation , and the greater proportion repre
sent lsosi.es bv poor people and by these of
o r fitl/ens who vontmed their lives and
their properties in the then wild and un
developed west. This session of congiuss
bus now rocognucu the right ol these
claimants to indemnity from the yov-
ernment and to compensation for Ihoo
losses in the earlier years by the hostile or
depie'Jatinir ' Indi.ins. Hut few of these p-o-
plo had n hope that the d i.v ° f omnp 'ns.aion
would ever come , as since isV ) but little posi
tive assurance was over given thorn by con
gress of Until payment. In the inu.inwhllo
many claim ugunts , taking advantage oi the
discouragement of these claimant ! ) , easily
perjinuled them to entermto.contr.icts and
fee agreements whereby 'l.lj and even 50
per cent was agreed to bo paid in the event
of the payment of the claim , thus entiching
these agents and diminishing the p ly incut to
the claimant to this extortionate and nnjns-
j tillable amount. This manliest injustice was
j app'irent to congress , and It became our
1 effort , while provi ling a remedy of payment
to the claimant , also to protect him against
the bhylocic attorneys and claim agents , and
this end we provide in the ncwwoi.
" 'That all sales , transfers or assignments of
anv such claims heretofore or hereafter
made , except such as Imvo occurred in the
duo administration of decedent's oitntcs , and
all contracts heretofore made for (003 ( and nl-
i lowaucus to claimant's attorneys are hereby
I declared void , and nil warrants issued by
the .secretary of the treasury in pa.unent ot
I such judgments shall bo made payable and
delivered only to the claimant or his lawful
heirs , executors or administrators or trans
feree under administrative proceedings ,
oxccpt so much thereof as shall bo allowed
the claimants' attorneys bv the court for
proscuuting said claim , which may bo paid
direct to such attorneys , and the allowances
to the claimants'attorneys shall bo regulated
mid fixed bv the court nt the time of render
ing judgment in each CTJO and entered on
record as pirt of the Hading * thereof , but in
no casn shall the allowance exceed IB per
cent of the judgment ivcoveiod. except in
case of claims of less than S'lIM , or whcro
unusual services have boon rendered or ex
penses incurred by the claimants' attorneys ,
in which case not to exceed 20 run- cent of
such judgment shall bo allowed by the
court. '
"It will ho observed that this Is a maxi
mum limitation for the court , and to know
what will bo a reasonable compensation for
the attorney within these limits
the court will ascertain whit ser
vices the attorney has rendered and
make the fco nllowanoo accordingly. Now
I learn from your communication that It is In
contemplation by you to organl/n a special
bureau in Washington City for the collect Ion
of these claims and to do so for n merely
nominal cost to the claimant. This notice will
glvo the first substantial hope to thousands
of poor and worthy claimants that It is passl-
llo ) that a cheaper remedy may bo affordeJ
them than that horntoforo hold out by the
unreasonable terms of exacting claim agents.
1 Your generous purpose will 'Also have a
tendency to oblige these agents to mcognUo
n more just and more conscioimblo basis for
compensation than at proent adopted by
thorn. "
