Hicks, of St. Louis, has issued his weather fo nests for the month of July, from whi h the follow- ing extracts are made: - A regular storm period is central on July 5. Great summer eat, in every probability will set in to the west the first days of the month. hie condition will increase in area and i tensity as it moves eastward, reaching a crisis from the 4th to the 7th. The a tronomio con- ditions, on and touching ednesday, the 4th, to Sunday, the 8th, indicate dife turbanoes of more than rdinary vio- lence. Terrific electrical disturbances with heavy, tornadia stor s over central to north-westerly regions will be per- fectly natural. If sever and general thunder storms do not re eve the elec- trioal and magnetic strainf, about the 4th to the 7th, the high temperature will increase to phenomenal readings Normally heavy rain, hai and thunder storms should occur from the 4th to the 7th and be followed by al uost unseason- able change to cooler. A reactionary storm pe iod is central on the 10th, Ilth and 12 . The crisis of this period will fall ouj and touching Thursday, the 12th. Onl this date the moon crosses the celestia equator com- ing northward.

A regular storm period L'overs the 15th to the 19th, central on tees 17th. Not- withstanding "anybody (au safely pre- dict that it will be warm in July," we predict that it will be w inner at some times than others, and tleet this period - the 15th to 19th, will lose up to one of July's warmest periods.

Around Spontaneous co: hay when the cure out in field, hauled tles and air is larg e Farm, bustion occurs in stuff bas been dried to barn or stack, set - v Very wet seasons result in much hay being destroyed by fire. The crops of hay grown on low, -vet lands are especial- ly liable to sponnueons combustion. Excess of moisture in cured hay causes the trouble. Hay 'flacks shoe shont be quietly inspected to note if the inter, or is heating to a sus- picious degree, here is -usually a smell of extreme heat a out such stacks or piles of hay in barns. jIf suspicions are keen- ly aroused, plan a thermometer inside a three•quarter•ineh water or gas pipe and drive into middl of stack and take the temperature.

Examinations sre very necessary this season in the ca e of early -cut hay stored in barns. The 0ss of building, crop and equipment may pus be prevented. Isolate the Roosters. The season fordsatching out chickens is practically mer; in fact, chickens coming out altet Juno rarely become well enough gr wn and feathered to stand the early inter or late fall blasts; cousequently the male birds should be removed from th poultry flocks now, so that the eggs lei from now on will be unfertilized. Another good reason for the removal of tl e males from the fleck is to avoid havin (. the eggs intended to be packed for w, nter consumption fer- tilized, as unfer lized eggs always keep better and have a better flavor. The males have no i flaence on egg produc- tion, although s me novices think that unless there is a chivalrous rooster in the flock no egg will be laid; such is not the case.
