May Crop Report.
Wheat and grass are making little
growth. April was a month of high
temperature and little rainfall. There
was not sufficient rain to be of appreciable benefit anywhere in the Stale after the 18th of the month, and before
the 13th the rainfall amounted to less
than one-half of the normal for the
month. The normal rainfall for April,
as determined by observations extending through a long series of years, is,
for the State, 2.44 inches. The average rainfall in the State in April for
five years has been as follows: 1894,2.28
inches; 1893, 4.43 inches; 1892, 2.13 inches; 1S91,1.95 inches; and 1S90, 3.09
inches.
Since May 1, there have been light
showers in the State, bnt the average
rainfall in the southern and central
counties does not exceed one-seventh
of the normal for the same period.
The average condition of wheat as
estimated by correspondents is as follows, comparison being with the vitality and growth of average years:South-
ern four tiers of counties, 77 per cent;
central counties. S7 per cent; northern
counties, 89 per cent and State 80 per
cent. One year ago, when temperature and rainfall were both favorable
during April, the average condition in
the southern and central counties was
89, in the northern, 95 and State 90.
Very little wheat will be plowed up
this year because winter-killed or otherwise destroyed, and very few correspondents mention damage to the crop
by insects.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in April
is S10,226, and in the nine months, Aug.
—Apr., 9,070,541, which is 2,942,657 bu.
less than reported marketed in the
same months last year. At 39 elevators and mills Trom which reports have
been received, there was no wheat
marketed during the month.
Grass, like wheat, is backward because of the di-oul'n. The meadows are
not yet ruined, but an abundance of
rain must come soon or they will bo
greatly damaged. One year ago they
were in prime condition.
Apples and peaches promise fairly
good crops. The averages for the
southern counties are, apples, 84, and
peaches SI per cent; central counties,
apples S7, and peaches SS per cent;
northern counties,apples 97,and peaches 94 per cent, and State, apples 80, and
peaches 82 per cent.

Better Times Coming.
The concensus of opinion amongst
the financial authorities appears to be
that the country is now making rapid
strides toward a recuperation from the
financial troubles that overwhelmed it
a couple of years ago,and that from the
measure of the adyancement that is being made it will not be many months
before all vestige of the depression will
have been swept away. The recuperation is not confined to any particular
branch of industry or trade, or any section, but is common throughout the
United States. Industries that were
closed down long since are resuming
operation, new ones being inaugurated,
and there is a healthy stimulous all
along the line. One of the strongest
evidences of the renewal of prosperity
and the restoration of confidence is ob=
servablo in the fact that in most of the
Eastern a-id Northern raj.Us and other
industries, wages havo been raised, in
many instances without any demand
on the part of the employees, but be.
cause the employers saw and felt the
returning prosperity and Oei'iwd ilu-m-
selves justified in restoring the pay of
the operatives and workers to former
figures.—Democrat, Natchez, Miss.

Born Above The Clouds.
Colorado Springs, Col., May 13.—Dr.
Christopher, of Colorado Springs, was
conveyed by a special train to the summit of Pike's Peak, the occasion being
the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. John
Taggart. Mr. Taggart is foreman of
the Manitou and Pike's Peak cog road
and for a month past has lived in a section-house located a mile and a half
above timber line, at an altitude of
12,000 feet above the sea. This is the
first recorded birth at so great an elevation in the continent. The youngster weighs ten pounds and has evidently come to stay. The train boys have
named him Pike's Peak Taggart.
Though nitrogen forms about four-
fifths of the atmosphere, and constitutes about 16 per cent of the tissues of
the body, the exact manner in which it
is supplied to us has been a very perplexing question. A certain quantity
of the inert element is supposed to be
extracted yearly from the atmosphere
for plant food by the natural process
knowD as "nitrification.'' The nature
of this process has occupied the attention of many chemists and many theories—porous bodies, catalysis, electricity, bacteria, ect.— have been advanced
to explain it Dr. T. Phipson has been
led by his recent researches into the origin of the atmosphere to conclude that
nitrification simply consists iu the oxidation of ammonia. He finds that no
one has seemed to realize that the process is universal, going on everywhere,
for the reason that it is only where rain
is scares that the resultant nitrates are
easily discovered, as in parts of India,
Peru, Egypt, Arabia, China, Persia,
Kentucky, France, etc. Leibig and
many others have believed that the nitrogenous principles of plants are derived directly and chiefly from ammonia. Dr. Phipson, however, has convinced himself that the ammonia must
be converted into nitric acid before its
nitrogen can be assimilated, and that
it is the nitric acid produced from ammonia by the natural process of nitrification that supplies the nitrogen of
plauts. In this process of nitrification,
atmospheric nitrogen takes no appreciable part. Ammonia seems to have
been originally a volcanic product,
which appeared when the earth had
sufficiently cooled, and at a later period
was oxidized and converted into nitric
acid. Not until then was plantlife possible. The supply of atmospheric ammonia once established, ouly slow addition from inorganic sources has been
necessary, as, when plants and animals
perish and decay, their nitrogen and
earbon return to nature as they originally existed—that is, as ammonia and
carbonic acid.
Sleepless Nights.
Who but those who have had the unhappy experience can tell the horrors
or appreciate the unhappy experience
of people troubled with sleeplessness?
The damnable hatred of all the demons
in hell for mankind must surely bo appeased by the consciousness of such human suffering. The long, dreary, unhappy hours, who can describe them
and why is it necessary? If you have
ever been troubled you know what they
are, and if you have been spared you
have no interest in the knowledge of
such suffering.
Mrs. A. Bateman, Komulus, Mich.,
after describing her suffering from
sleeplessness extending over a period
of eight years, receiving at times only
bout twelve hours' sleep in a week,
writes of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer as follows: "I began taking it in
common doses and the first nigh tl slept
eight hours end had a nap the next
day. Every night since I have slept
eight or ten hours. Oh, how thankful
I am for having had Dr. Wheeler's
Nerve Vitalizer brought to my notice
and for tho benefit received from it.
Stop and think,eight years of sleeplessness and cured In a day, does it not
seem like a miracle?" This medjeine
is equally as effective in curing nervous
prostration, spasms, fits, sleeplessness,
mental depression, exhausted vitality,
despondenoy, sexual and general debility. For sale at C. F. Unterkircher's

Meat and Cheese.
For the past few weeks beef "has been
as dear in some parts of this country as
it is in Europe It is lamentable that
this should be bo, -whatever the causa
If America, with all its liberty and millions of imoccnpied square miles, cannot give mankind a better chance foi
life than Europe has done, then it
would have been just as well if Columbus had never discovered America. If,
as some declare, the high price of
meat is the result of a combine* those
who have engineered it are not less
criminal than murderers. If, on the
other hand, as is more likely, it is the
result of scarcity of beef cattle, then it
will be remedied in time, and beef
will come back to its old price.
If it should not, the laborer in America will be no whit better off than
he would be in England or Germany.
Has family will have to bestir itself to
find as far as possible substitutes for
meat. In Europe the principal substitute is cheese. There are more than 100
different cheeses known to the English,
French and Germans. Cheese at its be*st
is as nourishing as meat and almost as
palatabla It is not so digestible, but by
careful selection a good article can be
found even in this land of cheating and
filled cheesa If our cheesemakers were
as honest and skillful as they should be,
a meat famine would have far less terror for the American people than it now
has. And as it is those who during the
present scarcity fall back on first class
cheese as a substitute for meat will find
it, like Welter's tripe, ''fiUin for the

THIS MUCH MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED There is no mower
manufactured that has as few gear wheels or .pinions as the McCormick.
Our gear has three pieces —the spur wheel, bevel wheel and bevel pinion. This simple gearing giving the highest motion with the least friction, has proven so valuable an adjunct in lighthoss of draft and even
werk thtt to improve upon it and gain any preceptible advantage in
draft can only mean a loss in the direction of simplicity or durability, or
both. Neither extreme lightness nor extreme light draft can alone be
considered desirable in a mowing machine.
The McCormick mower is as light as is consistent with good
work ahd durability. The man who causes two blade of grass to grow
where but one grew before has done much to advance the interests of
mankind, but as some one has well said, the man who adds a lot of
wires, hooks and tools when none whatever is needed, has simply mistaken activity for work, and is proceeding npon the plan of using four
men to keep one man's hair on.
The McCormick possesses all the good qualities of a first class
mower. It is a perfect gem, will workjn every kind of grass.and is excelled by none.   Buy the best.
