The crops in this vicinity are look ing fine. Everything in fact, in the way of crops looks green and lovely. The farmers are getting ready for haying and so we'll soon hear the song of the sickle which haunts us every year about this time, and al though its hard work, "and hard work is not "aisy" done," as the Irishman says, but however hard it would be, still harder if we had no hay to put up.

DALY Plant European Larch The European larch or tamarack is an exceedingly handsome and hardy tree. People not familiar with them will take them for evergreens in sum mer as their foliage is needle shaped like the evergreen, but they are decid uous, turning to a most beautiful yel low in the fall, just before their need les drop. Seedlings can be got of good nurseries at $1 and $1.50 per hundred. The writer put out some in '84 which are very tine trees now. Tree planters who desire variety will do well to in vest a dollar in these beautiful trees. A Great Year for Barlsy No crop is so uniformly good as bar ley this year. In fact there is no poor barley, and the farmer who lias a good acreage of it is fortunate. Barley has been a profitable crop for a number of years, paying vastly,bet ter than wheat, the most unprofitable crop of all. If the early harvest weather proves dry so that this great barley crop can be stacked unstained it will be fortunate. Most barley is cut with the binder, and much threshed out of the shock, but as few can get a machine in time it has to be stacked to prevent stain just as soon as it is safe to do it. If stacked before thoroughly dry it stains in the stack by heating. Intensified Gardening One of the younger lawyers of this city occupies with his residence a single lot iifty by one hundred and forty-two feet. It is safe to say that no spot of earth in the state is more fully utilized in growing fruit, vege tables and flowers, ornamental and forest trees, than is this little plat. Everything is in the thrifty condition that evinces intelligent care. A list of the rare plants, shrubs and trees would be a long one. Perhaps the only oak and hackberry trees in the citv are here. These are experiments with plants, the hardiness of which is not yet certain, which will be exceed ingly interesting to watch, and the patient experimenter, at the same time he gratifies his propensity for a fad, may do a good service to the cause of horticulture. WASHING MACHINES The Over-Bun A Washington county, Iowa, sub scriber writes: "What percentage of butter is butter fat? When cream churns out 511-3 per cent butter, what per cent of butter fat should it test at the creamery? I would like to have you answer this question in the Farmer, as I know many farmers do not understand the butter fat prob lem. Our cream tested 20 per cent at the creamery, but we churned the same cream, weighing the cream and weighing the butter, and secured 51 1 3 per cent butter." The amount of butter fat is a variable quantity with in certain limits. In addition to the butter fy.,t but.ter contains water, salt, and some casein. Butter usually con tains 82 to 85 per cent butter fat. Experience in this state indicates that the amount of butter will exceed the amount of butter fat in the cream by about 16 per cent. This is what butter-makers call the over-run. Just what our correspondent's cream from which he made 511-3 per cent butter should test in butter fat we cannot tell, because we have no means of knowing how much water was in the butter he made from it. We are very safe in saying, however, that it ought to have tested more than 20 per cent butter fat it ought to have tested more than 40 per cent for that mat ter.—Wallaces Farmer. Farmers' Elevators Paying Chas. E. Stinchfield, an old Brown county boy, is running the farmeis' elevator at Waubay, and recently sent the writer the annual report of busi ness for the year ending May 1st. It shows that $49,470.86 were paid for wheat, $9,437 for barley, $8,401.85 for oats, $10,251.35 for flax, and $218.30 for mustard. The net gain on grain was $5,159.80 coal $595 64 flour $3.84. They have evidently been selling flour as near the cost mark as possible. After paying directors' salaries, $38 treasurers salary, $45.75 secretary's salary, #100 elevator expenditures, $2,438.63, and $1000 in dividends, they have $2,136.90, clear gain, as surplus to go on. The farmers' elevator at il bank made a record also last year. After paying 60 per cent dividends they have $3,275.66 as working capital for the next year. At Irene, in Yank ton county, the farmers' elevator de clared a dividend of 150 per cent. The Now is the season when they are most needed. We have the kind that run easiest, wash cleanest and are not sky high in price. THE RIVERSIDE and LAKESIDE.... Washers have given the best of satisfaction. Dozens are in use in Aberdeen, so you can ask your friends. The River side is the only one that turns FULL TURN round. No other machine in America does this. 5.35 a. 111. 9.15 p.

The only fail ures of farmers' elevators in this county were at James and Bath where in each case the manager and some of the board of directors got swamped dealing in" options. These successful ventures in this line prove beyond a question that the profits in the elevat or business are excessive.
