While it may not be a record-breaker, the quality of the corn is splendid and with the exception of the southern states the yield per acre is very heavy. In the south the drouth has some- what affected the corn crop. Condition of Wheat. “The wheat crop of the west this year is also very fine and what may be considered as really the most important crop of all— the grass crop—is exceedingly good. “The census tells us there has been a great increase during the last ten years in the number of cattle in the United States. This information, taken together with the fine crop of grass, Insures lower prices of meat. 1 don't believe the price of meat, however, will ever be as low as it has been in the past for the simple reason that the | American people are more prosperous than | ever before and are ehting more meat than ever before. “However, the exceedingly high prices of meat will be a thing of the past as soon as the present feeders get fattened up to a beet condition. Another thing that will tend to keep the price of meat a little above the | former lower price s the demand of Eng- land for our meats.” | [ | CHRONIC DIARRHOEA Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's Colle, Cholera and Diarrboen Remedy. “My father bad for years been troubled | with chronlc diarrhoea and tried every means possible to effect a cure, but all to no | avail,” says John H.
