Wheat, oats and rye almost a failure; will not aver- 8ge one-third of a crop, owing to dry weather. Collections are good, but business is dull. Farmers scem to be prosperous. Grant County, This county is only engaced in eattle rai; fng, but range is in excellent condition, and in about one month the shipment of fat cattle will begin. Collections are fair and pros- pects for trade are good. Greeley County, Tho principal crops are corn and wheat, with some oats, barley and flax. Acreage this year is increased from 15 to 20 per cent, and ‘all crops are now in fine condition, ';mmm"g good resuits, This section has ad copicus rains; corn is an admirablo stand and grswing rapidly. The high prico of hogs has relieved tho financial distress of farmers, many of whom have paid off their indebtedness, The county has acquired 200 new farmers this spring, most of whom have paid cash for their lands, and more new prairie is being opened up than in any pre- vious year. Merchants are generally pros- Tous and jubilant over the outlook for fall de. Collections are good. Hall County. There appears a gencral focling of co dence herc in both commercial and agri gural disiricts. Corn is tho leading crop of the county and prospects reported good. Winter wheat good, rye fair and onts will yield about two-thirds of a crop. Tho bect crop Is believed likely to maxe 4 much bt ter showing this year than last, owing to tho fact that farmers are becoming more f2wil- far with beet culture, and many experts are now handling their cultivation. At Grand Tsland the jobbers report an excellent and in- creasing business and general colloctions fair. On the whole, despite the tightness of the money market, this year promises thus far to be a prosperous one for both farmers and merchants, Hamilton County. Corn is the principal crop, the acreage of which is one-third larger than a year ago on account of the drouth killing a large area ot fall wheat and damaging oacs, nocessitating plowing up and planting to corn. The pros- pects for wheat are good with the exception of the south sidoe of the county, which wus retarded by hail. Wheat and rye will not make over one-half a crop. No complaints are heard on account of collections; trade 1s fair and future prospects promising. Harlun County, The principal crop is corn, acreage this year increased 25 per cent and ' with contin- ued favorable weather the crop will be larger than ever before. Owing to the con- tinued drouth in carly spring, considerable wheat was replowed and planted to corn, All small grain will not yield mor 1 half #.crop, and probubly as littlo s ono-fourth. here has been a small decrease in trade, but collections have been fairly good.

Corn 15 doing well and with favorable weather will make a full crop. The acreage {8 about the same as heretotore, corn lead- ing. Merchants report a good trade; collee- tions slow. Hitchecock County. The principal crop last year was wheat, but thero is 25 per cent loss this year. Pros: ects for all kinds of small grain are poor. “all whe; ake one-fourth of a crop. There is a considerable corn acreage, about the same as last year, if anything. ulittle in- erease. Quite a numbor of tiew farmers camo in. Collections are slow and trade generally dull, being confined to the necessaries. Mer- chants depend eutirely on success of farmers and prospects of both are rather blue, Holt County, In the southern part of this county the crop last year was diversificd, consisting of corn, oats, wheat and hay, all of which had a fair yicld. In the northern part the land only adapted for grazing. The corn acre- Bge is increased over last year and the ecrop further advanced than at this time. Con- iderable chicory is also raised. Collectdons ave been fuir, Hooker County, Principal crops corn, wheat and potatoes. This year more corn; wheat about the same; also onts and rye, and an increase of pota’ toes. Small grain has been affected by dry weather and winds and will not yield over one-half a crop, but corn looks better than for years. Trade is slow, farmers buying but little beyond the necessities. Howard County, All kinds of crops are in fine condition, Early winter wheat wili be o little short on account of dry weather in May, but corn is in good condition. a large acreago and gener- ally o good stand. Farming has paid in this county in past years and a larger acreage of prairie is bemg broken than for many yeurs. Avout one-third of the wheat in this county s winter wheat and the acreage about twice that of last yea Winter wheat and rye have proved a success, The acreage of corn about 20 per cent larger than last; all kinds of fruits are abundant; have had_no hail in the coun ud plenty of rain the plst month. Collections are easy and merchants doing a good business, Howard county has 0O cause Lo complain in any wuy, Jefferson County. Corn, wheat and oats were the principal crops last year. Wheat and oats will be almosta failure this year. Most of the winter wheat fields huve becn put into corn and millet, also the majority of the oats, This akes the corn acreage larger than ever fore and it is now looking fine, with good rospects for more than an average cro e average crop of wheat last year was bushels, average price 50 cents; corn, bushels, price 25 cents. Collections have been remarkably good in certain portions, though at present said to be somewhat slose, Johnson County. Corn was the principal crop last year, robably 50 per cent of cultivated land bear- g the same and wheat about 35 per cent, 'his year 65 Lo 70 per cent is in corn, as most of the wheat was plowed up and corn put_in Ats place and, while u little late, it is doing fairly well and present prospects are good, For three or four years lust past winter wheat has been an iwportant item of agri- cultural products and last year the crop was the lurgest and finest ever raised in this county. Kor the past two or three weeks have had copious rains, vegetation is boom- ing and peaches and swall fruits are yery grumlsln.(, but apples will be practically a ailure. Prices of live stock, cattle and hogs are encouraging aud this part of the sute furnishes that kind of produce liberally. ‘The future looks bright, but there is a fecl- dng among business wen and farmers that the future of financinl affairs is uncertain and there is a lack of confidence in the finan- clal policy of the governmenut. However, every indication now 1s that nature is pro- pared to do her full share in & productive year except in the wheat yield. Coltections rather slow; trade about an average for this ®oason of year. Kearney County. T Principal crop corn, acreage this year about the same, there beiug 197,207 acres in cultivation, about 70.000 of which is planted 10 corn which is looking fiue aud everyth ing #0 far is favorable for an abundani yield. Winter wheat will not yield over one‘third of a crop. Spring wheat, oats and barl will fall short of a full p. Collections and trade fair. Kelth County, Small grains are improved wonderfully in the last week or two. The ground is well soaked, corn is growing well and will muke & good stand. Winter grain suffered from drouth. Potatoes never looked better. There is about the same acreage of wheat and rye and one-third more corn. Keyn Paha County. ‘Wheat and corn are the principal crops, the acreage of wheat is somewhut less and corn & little iucreased. Prospects are good for at least an uverage yield, Kimball County, Unless rain comes crops will be failure in | cent over last year. this portion of Nebraska. Inrger than In former years, but suffering from the drouth. Knox County. The principal crop fs corn, wheat and oats and the acreage is increasod at least 25 per All kinds of grain are in fine condition and prospects are fully as promising fora full crop as they have bee. atany time in fifteen years. Trade only fair, collections slow. Many accounts and notes duo being extended to dates later than the coming harvest. Theoutlook for a brisk fall trade is good. Lanoaster County. Corn continues the principal crop, nl though wheat has grown in favor rapidly for saveral years past. particularly in tho southern half. The backward weather dam aged this year's wheat crop so seriously that most of it was plowed up and replanted to corn. “This will increase the acreago in corn a8 much as 25 per cont. Weather has boen favorable and there corn than for many years. Farmers scem in good shape financially, but trade condi- tions do not seem so satisfactory Lincoln jobbors roport sales ahiead of tha same per- iod lnst year and are making no serious com- plaints of collections, but the retail trade of tho city has suffered in many departments and there has been o marked decrease in the amount of improvements and new building, both public and private. Better times and & good harvest are predicted. Lincoln County. Corn, which is the principal crop, has an increased acroage of 25 per cent over last year. Considerable wheat is raised, acreage about the same. Prospects good for one- fourth to one-half crop of wheat. Corn is a good stand and prospects never better, Small grain that was not plowed up has im: proved wonderfully, There will be very littlo oats, Cattie and hogs are doing well, Collections fairly good and trade improved over u year ago. and for money normal and supply smplo, Farmers are gotting well stocked up with hogs and cattle and with corn to feed them money will be plenty. Logan County. Wheat and corn ave tho principal crops, acreage increased avout one-third. Crops diversified about the same, except that there has boen considerable flax sown. Prospects excellent for wheat, oats, flax and corn. ~ Rye about one-third to one-half a crop. Have had excellent rains this mouth and every thing is looking first class. Collections fuir on account of good price for hogs, with which this section is well supplied. Loup County. Tho prin crop this year and last, corn and wheat, and the acreage of cach is about 10 per cent greater than heretofore and prospects good. Madison County. Al crop is corn, though a great deal of wheat and oats aro , raised. Acreage of all grain increased 10 per cent. All forms of small grain show a vapid growth and 1 consequence a little weak, but warm weatheér is raising it fluely. Corn, the best ev+r seen here. Sugar beets very fine, Generally speaking, this is the most favor- able season ever known. Trade is in a healthy condition; collections fair, but more credit 1s being asked for by the farming class than has been the cas¢ for the pust Lwo years, und this credit must be of a rather oxtended nature, yet merchants, as a rule, are avble to extend the favors asked. Merrick County. The principal crops, corn, onts, wheat and rye. Considerable small grain was sown, but owing to hail, wheat and rye will be al most a failure in parts of the county, while in other parts not affected. In the central portion farmers plowed up the ground and planted sae to corn, which crop bids fair to be good. The recent sand storms have been adetriment, as corn has been blown out worse than has been known for years, but favmers are confident that there will bo good crops genevally rmers seem to have plenty of money nnd collections are-ver The past year hus been the best for th hants that there has been for yea nother such will fix the farmers in shape 11 the old debts will be squared up und there will be good times for people generally. People ave taking to the raising of stock, especially sheep and cattle, and most of the grain will be taken to supply feeders at home. The price of land has materially in- creased during the past year ana times are chauging for the better right along. Nanoe County. Cotn, wheat, oats and ryeare the princi- al crops. Acreage of corn is abou one-third greater than last year. Acreageof winter wheat is increased “and it looks fine, and there is n prospect of a bountiful yield. The late warm weather is bringing corn on in good shapo and prospects are vory good, Collections rather slow, but prospects good after harvest. Nemaha Coanty. Wheat crops will be light this year in regard toncreage on account of it being winter killed. The yield will be light on account of the stand on the ground being thin, but the quality will bo_good. Corn is always the principal crop in this county and the aercage is somewhat larger than lust year, Coru is about two weoks later than lust year, but nothing but a protracted drouth will prévent a large crop. Oats, barley and rye are good, but cxcepting 0ats acreage in thoso is small Fruit crops small but good. There will be a lurge erop of upples, small crop of peaches, vegetables good. Crops this year will doubtless compare favorably with other years. Never had a complete” failure. Col- lections are slow, but in amount not large. However, the farmers are all able to meet their obligations and prospects for the mer- chants are good. There is still a large amount of corn and wheat held by the furmers for better pric Nuckolls County. Corn has always been the principal erop of this county, although there was a very age of wheat last year, is ) the ucreage of wheat is much less and corn greater. Many wheat fields are plowed under by reason of drouths prevailing dur- ing the early spring. \What is left will make half a crop, from ten to_ fifteen bushels per acre. Oats will not make more than one- third of a crop. Corn is in better condition and more advanced than last year, although listed corn was badly washed out and had o be replanted, however, it is looking well and acreage large. Recent rains have materially fmproved crop prospects. Money is very close and collections slow. Merchants not doing much business but carrying the farmers for about all their capital will per- mit, The princt Otos County. Principal crop last year was corn. Quite a large acreage of winter wheat was Sown last year, but much of it winter killed and probably ‘one-third of ground plowed up and planted to corn, which increases tho acreage of corn oyer lust year. Fall wheat will be one-third of u crop or less. Corn is a good stand and prospects good—never better. Morchants are having a fair trade, but com- plain some of collections; farmers ure in good circumstances generally sud money comparatively casy, there beiug little de- maud and banks have no trouble in supply- ing it, claiming o have double in sight com- pared with a year ago. Tawnee County. Corn and wheat was the principal cron last year. There is much less wheat this year, and of that which 15 in there will not be 80 good & crop by at least 25 per cent. The corn prospect was never better and the stand in fields is lttle above the average, making a fine prospect for an abundant crop. “Tho ruins have been sufticient o keep corn in flue growing condition. There was i par- tial failure of wheat sown early in the fall, caused principally by too warm weather the winter, followed by cold dry periods. The oat crop is little greater in acreage and there is a better outlook for a finer crop. Collections are fair to good and farmers arc making many improvements. Mer- its aro beginning to feel easy on out- standing accounts and trade is good, es- pecially in implements. Pastures not over- taxed ‘wre furnishing abunaant pasturage and ail stock is in good order. Money is casier to obtain and the general confidence felt seems to ussure an excellent trude for the coming fall. Perkins County, ‘Wheat and corn was the principal farm crop in '92. The sawe are the predominating crops this season. Fall wheat and rye are more extensively grown. The acreage this year is about 20 percent greater. Fall grain will make a fair crop without further rains, though it is very short. All other crops are 1w fair condition, though late. Collections wre fairly good ; trade nominal. The banks are not louning any at the present, and this cripples business for the tiwe, Fholps County. The principal crop last year was corn, The acreage is | 1s a better stand of | wheat, oats and broom corn. The crop last year was vory good, and the outlook for this About the same products aro being grown this year witha probable Small grain will aver- age n fair crop, having baén cut short by rea- yoar {s favorablo. increase in acreage. son of dry weathor, Corn hasa good start and is coming up nicely. Have had plenty of rain lately, business 1n general is good, and collections fairly good Plerce County, o Wheat, oats, corn and some flax are the principal crops. With the exception of flax the acreago is 20 per cent greater this year, and the prospect for all crops is excellent at the present time, though a little late. A few “acres of sugar bects and about 300 ac of broom corn have been sown. Oat_crops were somewhat injured by reason of high winds, and some of the oat ficlds were plowed up and planted to corn, Last year there was a partial failure of crops, catscd by drouth. Tho outlook has scarcely ever been better in this section at this scason of the year. Collections are miserable; trade not ‘very good. There is & stringency of money, owing to failure of crops last season, and an immense amount of money is tied up in the defunct Yankton & Northern railroad. Piatte County. Corn, oats ana wheat are the orincipal crops, the acreage of each being increased. Corn is two wecks late, but an extra good stand, clean and doing well. Oats and spring wheat lato but in good condition. Winter wheat injured by drouth last fali, will be about one-hulf acrop. Collections slow and trade dull, but look for botter times if pros- cnt crop prospects continue, Merchants are in good shape financially, Polk County, Principal crops, oats, corn and wheat in order named, Corn acreage is increased on account of failure of full wheat.

Everybody cautious und money hard to get excepting on first-class securities. Future prospects good. Keda Willow County. Principal crop corn, acreage increased 15 ver cent. There will be less diversity. owing to wheat being plowed up and planted to corn. Wheat and oat crop will be very light. Winter wheat virtunlly a failure and spring wheat, with favorable weather, will be about half a crop, Corn prospect is good, but late. Trade quiet and collections slow, but farmers and merchants are in better shape than usual; they are very little in debt and most of the farmers have enough grain left to tide them ovor foranother year. Prospects reasonably good. Richardson County, Many more ncres planted to corn this year than ever before and prospects are now good for an immense crop. Fall wheat was al- most a complete failure, Oats looks well, fruits short. Hogs brought good prices, but farmers had comparatively few to sell and are generally hard up, with no prospects of being in a better condition until after har- vest, Trade quict and collections very slow. According to present conditions the coming season will prove n hard oae for merchants small capital and some will have to strain every voint in order to pull through. Rock County, Principal crop is grass for hay. some corn, and wheat acreage this year avout the same; all bidding fair for & good crop; more oats sown and looking fine. The dairy industry is again reviving. Saline County. and oats are the principal crops. ' Corn is now ia a promising condition, but fall wheat is ver it. considerable having been plowed outand planted with corn, acreage of which is much larger and prosbects better than last year at this time. Cattle and hogs ure raised and fattened in large vumbers. Oats in acreage is about an average aud in fine condition. The ground is in excelient condition, never better and plenty of ram. Clover is killed and grass poor.” Collections and trade fair; rather in- clinad to be slow, but farmers and merchants scem satisfied with prospects, the only com- plaint is the unusual low price for corn and wheat, much of last year's cropbeing in first hands. There is Corn, wheat, Sarpy County. Corn fs the principal crop, comprising about 70 per cent of the whole; balance prin- cipall Not much wheat or other small gram raised. Acrcage is incroased over last year, as winter wheat sown last fall did not_start and was mostly plowed under and planted to corn. Farmers have broken all the wild land and commenced to sow timothy and clover. Prospects were never better than at this time. Collections aro slow, merchants complain of trado and swall profits. Farmers have all made money the past few years. Saunders County, Crop prospect was never better at this time of year than now, Grasses are in the vory finest condition, and corn 1s excollont and well forward for the time. The princ val crop is corn, with a fair acreage of wheat, rye, oats and some flax, hemp and barley. Wheat is not so promising, as it aid not do well during the winter. All other crops. as to proportiou and variety, are the same us last year. In some portions corn had to be replunted, and some fields of small grain were plowed under and planted to corn, Trade is good for this time of year, but collections are slow; generally speak- ing, slower than usual, Scotts Bluff County, The principal crop last year was whent and oats, with some corn. ‘The acreago this year above irrlgation is not nearly as large, and, owing to the protracted dry weathe) will probably be a failure. Under irrigation the acreage 1s about the same, and prospects are good for an average crop. Trade is fair and colleetions good. Seward County, Principal crops corn, oats, rye and wheat. ‘I'he acresge of corn, oats and” rye about the same, wheat 10 per cent greater. Corn never looked better at this time of the year. Prospects of winter wheat not quito as good, spring wheat and oats somewhat bot- ter, although oats is & little backward, Grasses look promising. The soaking rains have done much to overcome the threatened iniury to all kinds of crops. Fruits of all kinds promise well and vegetables are good. Collecti slow. Banks have an abundance of money and aro seeing borrowers as from 7to8 per cent interest. Trade fair. Farm lands enhanced in value at from §6 to §8 per acre in the last twelve months. Upon the whole this country was never more prosper- ous than it is today. Sheridan County, Wheat was the ‘lriu(‘ipn) crop of 1802, Larger acreage of all crops this year, but not more diversified, and crops are excellent, Collections und trade slow; meney very scurce; merchants refusing farmers credit ; prospects good for improvement, Shorman County, Principal crops, wheat, corn, oats and rye, acreage romains the same and prospects for all kinds of grain better. Trade and collec- tious fair; farmers jubilant over crop pros- pects. ; Sloux County, Principal erop wheat and oats, acreage in- creased probably one-third, Thus far crops huve doue very well, though rather back- ward, Some complaints of dry weather are beginuing to be heard. Collections are as good us could be expected and trade, if any- thing, better. This is more of a stock thun a farmiug country, and prices of cattle, ete., effect more than the amount of grain raised. Stauton County, ‘The principal crop is corn, of whicn there will be an increased acreage over last year. The stand is perfect, looking fine and the prospect could not be better. Of wheat and oats there will be a decreased acreage. Winter wheat, except on new 1ands, was plowed up and planted to corn, This county has never had a failure. Have had pleuty of rain since early spring; collections are casy aud trade brisk. Thayer County, Wheat and corn was the principal erop last year, There are probably one-third more acres of corn and one-third less of wheut this vear as compared with last. Fx- pect aboit one-half crop of wheat; three- fourths of oats aud a full crop of corn and potatoes. Many acres of millet are being raised. Colleztions are fair. Farmers were never better pleased for a dry year and can stand it without effort. Valueof land has not depreciated ; future outlook good., Thomas County, Priocipal crop last vear was corn, the acreage this year beiug about the same. Prospects are good now, but somewhat late. S Collections and teade are fair. and with good crops farmers will do quite well. VAfGy County. Corn and wheat are the principal crops More winter whetet was sown last fall than ever'bofore and _tHé prospect is good, in some instances the fincst ever seen in the county. Oats is simply a pleasure to be- hold but rye is a little thin. Corn is a little backward, not bad, and the vest stand ever known in tho county. Prospect is most flattering. The only failurc ever had was in 1890, which was general throughout tho state. Farmers are now becoming prosper- ous. Collections are reported good; trade is good and merchants well satisfied with outlook, housituds of acres are being broken, Washington County. Principal erop is corn, wheat and oats with rye, barley and buckwheat in the rear. Con- siderable “winter wheat is raised 10 the western part of the county and the acreage is incrensing yearly, Corn seems to be the principal crop with acreage about the same as last year and prospects are very good for an abundant yield. Small grain is looking fine. Peas are getting to be quite a crop, peing sown broadcast, harvested and thrashed the same as wheat. Corn is being now plowed the second time in most parts: all up and a good stand. Rye and barley are headed out with prospects of & good crop, heads well fillea. Collections among farmers are either very good or very poor, among merchants they are very good. Trade has been tolerable. Merchants feel quite con- fident and the outlook is encouracing. Mort- gage indebtedness is being decreased among the farming cluss. Wayne County. Principal crops corn, wheat and oats, with an increased acreage over lust year, appros imately 10 per cent. Flax acreage is smaller than usual. Prospects for crops are very favorable, Corn is a good stand and doing well. Coilections are very poor owing to last year's short crop, but it is believed that this fall will show a marked improvement., Webster County. The principal crop is corn, oats second and wheat third. The acreage of corn is about the same as last year, there fs more ground under cultivation than heretofos mostly sown to winter wheat, acreage of which is greatly increased. However, it is very short and will not exceed one-half crop. Pros- pects for corn are very good, much better than they were at this time last year, There will be a short small grain crop caused by dry weather. Corn, though small, is very thrifty and growing nicely and soil is in ex- cellent condition, Collections are slower and harder to make than usualj not many merchants ave hard up, Wheeler County, Principal crop last year was corn.

York County. Principal crop last year was corn, next wheat, oats, rye and flax in the order named. The acreage of corn is greater than last year, there being no greater diversity than usual, Prospects fora full ceop of corn are excellent at this time. Wheat has a larger acreago than last year, but owing to bad weather early in ‘the ‘spring about 20 per nt was plowed up and plinted to other ains; balance will not muke more than If a crop, with a decreased acreago over what was originally intended. Oats is backward, but promise at present a fair crop. Ihe hay crop will be short on account of the clover being largely winter killed. Rye will not amount to much, and flax is almost unheard of. There is but one acre this year where there were ten lust. Col- lections have been good until within the past month. Trade is dull. Sending for Melbourne, StockviiLe, Neb, dune 25.—[Spocial to Tue Bee.|—At a meeting of the citizens of this place last night it was decided to send for Melbourne, the rainmaker, today. A fund has already been raised for that pur- pose. Similar action was taken at Curtis, Moorefield and Maywood yesterday. Tho four villages are to tet together in this mat- ter. The pcoplo- of this scction are thoroughly alarmed at the prolonged dry weather. Tt has been very hot during the cntire week with no indication of rain.

The daily papers recorded the f: that the steamship Majestic, on a recent castern trip, caught a sea that demol- ished her cx'nw'hfiwsb lookout, and that the Teutonie, which caught the same gale coming t, had one sea which combed over the crow’s nest and carried away her forward port lifeboat as it went over the rail, But nove- of the daily papers took the trouble to mention just'how the crow’s nest on these ships is situated, and consequentiy how high that sea wa Inquiry by a Marine Journal representative discovercd that while in men-of-war and many other ships the cus- tom is to have the crow’s nest in the foretop or a trifle above, the White Star ships have it at an altitude of twenty- five feet above the main deck on the foremast, reached by an iron ladder from the forward hurricane deck. In such a ship as the Majestic or Teutonic the height of the main deck at the fore- rigging is about forty feet above tho level of the sea, which would make the height of the wave that carried away tho crow's nest in this instance about about seventy feet. This is a pretty big roller for the north Atlantic, but in other parts of the ocean such waves are often encountered in & storm. Suppos- ing the ship to have been in the trough of the sca at the time this wave swept her, the mean height of the wave might be calculated at not greater than forty feat, but it was certainly a body of water nearly seventy feet high irom where the ship floated. ————— Busy peopie have no time, and sensiblo people have no inélination to use pills that make them sick a day for every dose they take, They have learned that tne use of De Witt's Little Early Risers does not in- terfere with theix health by causing nausea These little pills are per, action aud resulte, regulating the stomach and bowels so that headuches, diz ss and lassitude are prevented.
