July Crop Report.
The estimate herein made of the 1893
wheat crop is based on the number of
acres in wheat in May as shown by the
returns of supervisors, and the average
yield per acre as shown by more than
1,200 estimate? received from our regular crop correspondents and supervisors. The estimates of yield per
acre have been made while the crop
was yet all standing and are of course
subject to revision.
The area in wheat in Michigan this
year, as shown by the returns of supervisors to this office, is 1,578,252 acres.
Multiplying the acres in each county
by the estimated yield per acre in the
same county and footing the products,
gives 20,895,37*1 bushels as the probable
total yield in the state. This is an
average per acre of 13.09 .bushels in the
southern counties, 14.18 bushel*-, in the
central counties, and 12.63 bushels in
the northern counties. The average
for the state is 13.24 bushels.
The total number of bushels of wheal
reported marketed by farmers in June
is 751,001. The total number of bushels
reported marketed it\ the eleven
months, August-Jwae, is 13,760,490.
This is 2,3Q4,§1*4/bushels less than report jam^eied In the same months
■teal ye-"1--
The unfavorable weathor in May not
only delayed covij planting but caused
a reduction, of aoreage. The area
pl-Mtol In She southern, counties is
aatiuiated at 94 per cent, in the central,
89 per cent, and in the northern, 99 per
cent of a full average. In co'-dition the
crop is from five to tOVi-'teen per cent
helow an average but in the southern
coun|\$; \\ is 22 per cent, aud in the
f^wpral, 15 per cent bettor copuition
than one year ago, ttats are doing
well. With ftiYittttbte weather until
harvests fv ««avly full average erop may
he expected. -
Compared with an average there is a
loss of from two to thve& per cent in
the area planted to potatoes iu the
southern and central counties, and a
gain ot three per cent in the northern
oounties. In condition the crop in the
southern counties is 93 per cent, or 12
per cent higher than on July 1, last
year. In the central oounties the condition is §T, and in the northern 92.
Meadows 'and pastures, and clover
sowed this year, are, in the southern
and central counties, in fine condition.
In the northern counties the weather
hasbeen less favorable and the condition is from 20 to 26 pev cent below
an average.
Apples in \h.e. southern counties now
prp,rn,is.6 about one-third, in the central
two-fifths, and .in the northern, two-
thirds of an average crop. Since June
1, this crop has declined 22 per cent in
the southern and central counties, and
16 percent in the northern counties.
Peaches promise in the southern counties and the State, 82 per cent ol mi

A. J. WARREN,
'A land turtle that is quite a pioneer
resides in Tompkius township, Jackson
county, and nearly every resident in
that locality for the last' half century
is more orless acquainted with it. It
flrsl put in its appearance, as far as the
records show, in 1844 when Elmer
Dennis, who still resides in Jackson,
caught it and cut his name and date
1844 in its shell. It was not seen agf_n
until 1868, when Henry Bockcveu.
marked it with, his name. From that
time an. jt was frequently seen in its
tv-avels around the neighborhood, but
was hot labeled except as follows; Iu
1873 by George Bockoven, now of
Louisiana; in 1SS1 by G. D. Wilcox cf
Eaton Rapids; in 18S3 by C. XT. Bockoven and last week, was sighted by
Peter Jones, who added his autograph
to those of liis iiye predecessors. The
turtle seems to be a§ lively as ever, aud
is probable gaud, fan fitteeii years more
of life. \% ju now about ten inches in
diitm,(iti-i*, and is probably more than
tiU'ue score aud ten years old.—Grass

Keeping the House   Cool. -
Family Expenses.
A few days since the -wife of a wealthy
man-went into a grocery store -where
most of the provisions for thehonse -were
bought. She went in considerable haste
to the proprietor and asked him to loan
her a dollar. Her husband, she*said,
had gone -down town and forgotten to
leave her any change, and she mnst have
a little immediately. She took the bill,
rolled it np and put it into her glove,
then in an undertone said: "Please
charge that as sugar. My husband
might not likeitif I borrowed money."
The man saiir "Certainly!" and the
woman went out. A customer who was
standing at a little distance but who
was concealed from the lady by a pile
of tea chests smiled to himself and then
emiled at the grocer who came back to
finish filling his order.
Although the grocer said nothing, it
was a well understood fact to the customer, as it is to many other people in
large cities, that this is not an-uncommon practice. Men who are liberal
with the families, as far as food and
clothes go, rarely give them a cent for
their own nse. They will pay any reasonable bill and many unreasonable
ones,'but they pay them in checks and
overlook the bills themselves, then they
fancy they know what "becomes of the
money. Such conduct is unwise. If
there is anything in the world that has
a tendency to drive a -woman to underhand practices it is such lack of confidence on the part of her husband or
father.
A wise way is to make a regular allowance for each member of the family.

Witty Remarks of an Artist.
Kenny Meadows was an artist who was
always welcome at any social gathering,
for he had an infinite fund of quotation
and mother wit. A certain well known
studio pun was his. There had been one
day a long talk about fresco and the
palette necessary for it, and the repeated
remark that it needed a palette of earths
quite tired him out.
"You talk of ochres,"he said, "butthe
worst of all you haven't named, though
it's the commonest. That's the medi-
ocrel"
"Then," said another artist, "youdon't
believe in the golden mean's "being the
best of things?"
"No," said he, "I'll divide that with
you. You may take the mean, and Til
keep the gold."
According to his own telling, his standard of praise was a financial one.
"Now I dare say-you think yourself a
very clever fellow to paint so good a
picture," he said to his friend, William
Bell Scott, who had just completed his
"Old English Ballad Singer." "But it's
nothing to paint a picture compared with
what it is to sell it. "When you do ■ that,
Fll congratulate youi"
But every one knows just how much
such deprecatory criticism meant. Meadows was "fond of talking."*—Youth's
Companion.
Works of Patience.
Probably the sternest patience is displayed by the sculptor or the painter
who will spend months and years in materializing a conception. There is no
doubt more of patience displayed by the
Caucasians, speaking numerically, than
any other race, but I maintain that it is
a gift of nature and just as like to come
to a dog as to a man, only the dogwpuld
not have sense enough to use it as effectively as men would. Ihave seen a great
deal of this quality of nature displayed
by savages, such as the negroes of Africa
and the Indians of America. We all admire the armor of the old English
knights-and the wonderfully intricate
workmanship displayed upon many of
them, but I have seen Indian war costumes that would make the eye of the
seeker after curiosities and rarities simply blind. The whole is intricate and
interesting to look, at, but closer inspection will invariably show almost endless
work—labor of years to make it look
beautiful Some of the negroes of the
south have fishing rods and tackle that
are marvels of delicate -hand workmanship, so mucEso that there is nothing
like them to be had in the market for
money. All this, however, is only accomplished by almost supreme patience.

La Grippe.
During th.*> prevalence of the Grippe the
past seasons ifc was a noticeable fact that
those who depended upon Dr. King's* New
Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery,
but escaped all of the, troublesome after
effects of the malady. This remedy seems
to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid
cures not only in cases of La Grippe, but in
all diseases of Throat, Chest aud. Lungs,and
has cured cases of Asthnm and Hay Fever
of long standing. Try it and be convinced.

There are more»than 1,000,000 Germans in the chief cities of the United
States. They are most numerous in New

the west. They are least numerous in
Boston and Washington. In these two
cities andin Philadelphia and San Francisco the Irish outnumber the Germans.
In New York, Chicago, Brooklyn, St
Louis, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Buffalo, New Orleans, Pittsburg, Detroit and Milwaukee the Germans outnumber the Irish. There are 3,500 natives of Ireland to -j55,000 Germans in

Suggestions I^or Mary Anderson.   , _     j
. Mrs. Mary Anderson-Navarro, some- |
times known as "Our Mary," is writing
a book., of .reminiscences.   If she goes
back fax enough and sticks to facts, they
will be highly interesting.   She should
tell:how • Dr. Hamilton Griffin went on-|
'change in St. Louis and scattered tickets
broadcast that the house might be filled. !
And she should publish the first opinions
of the New York critics.   Such things
do not in the least reflect on her ultimate
triumph, bnt merely show her  early
pluck and confidence in her own ability.
Let us have the reminiscences ftoiu the
