it only six weeks and began to improve

Crop Report for July.
The average yield of wheat per acre
in the State as estimated by correspondents July 1 is 12.44 bushels; central 14.11 and northern 15,35. The estimate for the State and each section
is higher than on July 11895. The estimated increase in the State is 2,56 bu.
in the southern counties, 2 10 bu, central 2.9S and northern 3 53 bu.
The supervisors' returns of Farm
Statistics, so far as footed, indicate an
increased acreage as compared with
1895. This increase may reach 15 per
cent.
Wheat ripened unusually early, probably the earliest ever known in this
state. At a few points in the extreme southern part of the State, harvesting was begun as early as Juns 16
and the cutting was about completed
throughout the southern counties by
July 4th. A large number of correspondents report the grain shrunken,
but it is yet too early to attempt an estimate of the quality for the entire
State.
The number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in June is 349,863 ah
compared with 522,311 reported marketed in June 1895, and the amount
marketed in the eleven months, Au-,
gust—June is 8,669,482 bu. as compared
with 10,579,800 bushels in the same
months last year. •
A full area of corn has been planted,
and condition the crop is 97 per cent of
condition in average years. In tbe
southern counties it is 98 per cent.
Oats are estimated at 100 per cent or
a full average crop.
Compared with average years the
area planted to beans ranges from 92
per cent iu tho southern counties to 101
in the northern. The average for the
State is 94.
The acreage planted to potatoes is
estimated at 11 per cent less than in
average years in the southern and
central counties and the State and at 9
per cent less in the northeru counties.
One year ago the estimate for the State
was 106 or 6 per cent in excess of average years. The average condition of
the crop is now98.
The condition of meadows and pastures ranges from J5 to SO per cent of
an average and the average condition
of clover sowed this year is 88 per cent.
The outlook for apples is more prom-
jsipg than at this date in many years.
The percentages' for apples, are, southern counties, SB;, central 94; northern,
\\\, the average for the state being S7.

Ann Arbor is to lose one of her wide
awake business men, L. H. Clement,
who has accepted a position as general
manager of a musical firm at Wheeling
W. Virginia,
According to the Courier a pretty
little curly haired bloomer girl attracted much attention in that citj' one
day recently. . We will bet 16 to 1
that she would have looked better and
attracted more admiration (though perhaps less attention) had she worn
skirts.—Commercial.
Chas. H. Worden showed to the writer on Monday a root ot alfalfa he had
just received from California, which
measured nearly six feet long. The
top of it when out was over three feet
long but it had lost its bloom before it
got to Ann Arbor. . Four and five crops
of^thig giant clover are out in the course
of a season and the cattle and horses
gt-ow sleek and fat.—Argus.

THE CHANCE PASSAGE.
t Knockdown Argument For  tne Early
to Rise Scotchman.
An old Scotchman had a roommate in
New York who was not fond of early-
rising and never stirred from his bed until the hreakfast bell rang. The older
man considered it his duty to warn the
young man against the effects of indolence, and at the same time to impart
religious instruction to him.
Every nicruiug the Scotchman arose
at 6 o'clock, shaved himself and when
completely dressed shook his young
friend and addressed him in this manner:'
"Now, lad, yon see -what it is to gain
time. Here I ani dressed and ready for
breakfast, with half *au hour in which
to read a chapter in the Bible and to
commit a verse to memory which may
serve a useful purpese during the day.
Now I shall open the good book at random and read any verso on which my
eye chances to light, and I tliiuk it probable that the -yerse will havo some special application for the events of the
day. Meanwhile, there you are, with
barely enough time to dress for hreak-
fast and not a minute to spare foi* good
reflection."
For a week or more this address was
repeated every morning with little variation, and the chance passage read aloud.
Then the young man gave the Scotchman a dose of his own medicine. i
It was a cold morning when the
Scotchman, wearied by late hours the
previous night, overslept. The younger
roommate, arose softly, dressed himself
quickly and aroused him.
"Here I am, "began the convert to
the new gospel of early rising, "in complete order for hreakf ast and ready to
turn to a verse in the good book which
may serve me a useful turn during the
day."
"Well done," said the Scotchman,
rubbing his hands.
"You know, too," continued the
young man, without a smile on Ms face,
"that one's hands may be directed hy
something that is not blind chance to a
verse which may he highly significant."
"Certainly," said the Scotchman,
pleased to perceive that his lesson had
been aptly learned by the pupil. '' Open
the book and read the first passage which
your eye catches."
The young man opened the book, and
without a pause or a smile read the following verse from Proverbs:
"He that blesseth his friend with a
loud voice, rising early in the morning,
it shall he counted a curse to him."
The serious Scotchman was takenbaek
so completely by the sentiment that he
demanded the book and had to read the
verse through his spectacles before he
could believe that his companion was
not deceiving him.
"Well, lad,'* he remarked gravely,
"I suppose it was meant for my benefit.
I'll let yon sleep another morning. "—
