wrong, as we are. informed by a manu

so to speak, in considering tho ancient

was also well versed in the science of

upon the swineherds of America espe

CULTIVATION OP WHEAT. ....
Professor A. B. Blount says in the
American Agriculturist: In growing a
crop of wheat the seed is all important.
There is much difference in seed even
that grown on the same stool that tho
most careful selection is necessary. The
seed must bo good, prime, well-ripened,
plum) and with active germinating pow
er. The only way to secure such is by
selection at the time of ripening. Selec
tion is absolutely essential to good aver
age crops and good average qunlity.
Non-selection is a great drawback to all
crops. It entails upon the grain- ele
ments of deterioration which cause so
many varieties to "run out." The habit
of the wheat plant is to tiller or stool,
nd this habit must be indulged and fa
vored by giving grain more room and
substance enough to develop its val
uable properties. -To have good seed
therefore, that must be selected which
is nearest like the original and found
upon the parent stalk of the stool. It
riicns first, contains the best elements
and is the best in all respects. The phy
siological laws governing the production
of the animal kingdom also hold good in
the vegetable. The transmission of good
and bad qualities from parent to offspring
are inherent; hence to have good wheat
we must sow good seed.
Next to good seed we must have well
prepared soil. Rich, stiff, calcareous
soils aro best for wheat. Corn stubble
and potato land slightly harrowed and
without manure make very fine land for
good crops of wheat. The application
manure directly to the soil iii wliiclfTy
wheat is to bo sown is unwise and in
jurious. It produces too much stalk and
too little grain. Such manure should al
ways 1)0 applied in its fresh state to tho
crop preceding wheat. Clover sod
turned in the fall for spring wheat is ex
cellent, but alfalfa sod excels them all.
Its roots penetrate to a great depth, not
only enriching the soil but making it
porous and remarkably well adapted to
tho growth of all crops. So superior is
it that as high as sixty and seventy bush
els of wheat per ucre have been produced
upon lund thus treated. Wheat, espe
cially in arid reigions, should never fol
low oats, rye or barley. So dry is tho
winter that tho seed scattered in the har
vesting germinates in the spring nnd be
comes badly mixed with the wheat, and
they aro not the proper crops to rotate.
As many opinions are held about sow
ing as there are farmers that sow. In
Europe? Australia and other wheat coun
tries two or three bushels per acre are
town, while in our own country about a
bushel and a half is the rule. Almost all
the experiments made with thick and
thin seeding uro favorable to the latter;
indeed they have re.ison to be, because
the greatest enemy to the successful ger
mination and healthy growth of tho
wheat-plant is wheat. Like people, wheat
cannot flourish when sown too thickly.
If a bushel of wheat were sown evenly
aver an aero ot ground, no two grains
would be inoro than two inches apart
t'ach way, and a half bushel would place
them less tliau lour inches apart thick
enough for all soils under favorable con
ditions. However, different preparation
of both seed and soil will vary the amouut
of seed. Jiich land requires less seed
than poor, and a long seasou in some sec
tions less than short ones. The proper
uepin to sow grain varies witli sou auu
climate. In rainy sections where the
frost heaves the surface of the ground1 in
tho spriug, wheat should be sown at lVast
two Inches deep and on a rough surfuce,
wnuo in ury, arid climates, one and a
half inches is deep enough. The heavier
the soil the shallower the sowing, and the
lighter the soil the deeper.
The cultivation of the wheat crop adds
much to its growth and yield ; howevei
absurd this may appear to some, it is
nevertheless true. Most uuple, and I
might say ninety-nine hundredths of all
farmers in the I'liilcd States, never touch
their wheat from sowing time to harvest.
A cultivation of the wheat crop does it as
much good as a cultivation of the corn
crop or any other crop. As soon as the
wheat is well up and begins to stool, a
light harrowing not only kills the weeds
but helps the growth of the crop, aud
when the wheat begins to make, stalks
another aud a heavier harrowiug will often
increase the yield ten to tifteeu per cent.
These hairowiiigs not only kill the little
weeds aud give vigor to tho plaut, but
they keep the surface of the soil open and
mellow for the belter action of the atmos
phere upon the roots. If the wheat is
sown in drills a foot apart a small culti
vator is bette r than a harrow, especially
in those wet ions where the crops are irri
gated. All crops do better when irrigated
. lmm below. The water, when put on
the surface, comes in contact with the
tender plant and injures it.
Harvesting should be done early, when
the wheat is ill the dough state, to make
good returns for tho mill, but seed wheat
should not be cut until fully riie. Kurly
hurvests ofteu escape rust, make heavier
grain ami of better milling elements, les
wheal is lu-t in the cutting aud handling,
and the farmer is better sutittied, having
his crop out of the way.
ITOMT.-MAPie TMrl.fcrftXT.
Pays when no outdoor .work can r
done can bo turned to good , account by
making various conveniences. For ex
ample, a light-stone boat, or what is
better a sled to carTy the hariiow, plow,
bags of need, rakes, water? jug, etc.,
to the field. Men drink muchi less water
when it is close at hand than when they
have to go somo distance for it.. Another
useful implement to be made, ism marker
for laying out the corn ground. Boxes
in use about the farm should be of a size
to hold a bushel or half a bushel. Thry
will save a great deal of grain nnd per
haps a great deal of hunting for the half

Hybrid perpetual rows bloom .mostly
upon shoots that grow from the old 'wood;
t hat is, canes of one or more yeans' growt h.
Tho best blooms aro foimd upon tho
canes which start from near the root the
previous season. Therefore, it is best
every spring to cut out all , canes which
have bloomed one season. As you valus
good roses and a quantity oflthem do not
fail to do this. To increase the quantity
nnd richness of bloom with hybrid per
petuals practice what'is called "pegging
down." This is to' bend all tho canes
that have been left nftr pruniug nearly
to the ground. The outermost ones may
be within six inchesmf the surface aud
the others a little higher. This horizontal
position of the canes somewhat retards
the flow of the sap as it returns to tho
roots, and more of it. is used in forming
buds nnd flowers. If.'you prefer to grow
your roses upright, do not fail to cut
back the canes about one-half. If you
wish to have seed fort new varieties, it is
well not to have the .soil too rich, else,
according to ipy experience, you will get
fewer seeds and not thelest roses. All
the roses should be where they will have
plenty of sunlight, nnd ;yet lie protected

FATIM ASD UAHPK! NOTES.
Farmers should limit and control the
cost of production.
Corn should be ground in the ear; it is
better thau to shell it and feed the cow
separately.
Everything points to the silo as one of
the best and probably the best way to
harvest corn.
Farmers who raise rye should sell tho
straw and buy grain and fertilizer with
the proceeds.
Careless, hasty seed-sowing accounts
for the failure of many amateur attempts
at gardening.
A mixture of kerosene and lampblack

If tho whillletree breaks, don't throw
it into a coiner. Remove tho irons.
They can be fitted to new wood.
Corn for ensilage should, not be cut
when the kernels arc in the. milky state.
It should be nllowcd to glaze a little.
By keeping the cattle off the pasture
one day longer in the spring you may
keep them upon it two davs'longer in tho
fall.
Farming is like other industries; if
fou expect to be successful, you must
adopt some special line and make it a
study.
Cows should have plenty of fresh water
and salt daily. Always feed and milk
regularly. Keep stables clean with good
bedding.
The farther you are from market tho
greater is your need of condensing pro
ducts by feeding grain nud stover to your
animals.
A handy thing to have is a box con
taining an assortment of bolts, nuts,

It is uu interesting fact, which might
become important iu case of war, that
the telephone furnishes a simple aud

of the operators. All that is necessary is
to run a wire parallel with the telegraph
liuu for a short distance, when the cur
rents induced in this wire as the message is
sent reproduce the signals ill the telephone.
The plan is attended by one difficulty,
which is that the. signals would become a

were transmitted simultaneously from

Causes of Sudden Death.
Sudden deaths are most frequent, ac
cording to tho Lancet, when tho condi
tions of life change suddenly, or are espe
cially liable to change and this without
uecessary reference to whether the change
effected be relatively for the better or for
tho worse ; for the change may be so rap
idly effected, in either direction, as to
throw ujion the circulatory and respira
tory functions a strain which the organs
are not able to bear. In this way, per
sons with unsound or weak hearts or
weak arteries die suddenly under rapid
changes, although, if there were no special
strain consequent on the change, it would
in itself prove advantageous to them. It
may be accepted that sudden deaths nre
especially likely to occur at periods of
seasonal change, and at times when rapid
variations of temperature nre taking
place.

a distance of two or three miles a sleuder

appears in mid-air. A cold wind
blows down thc.ides of the Fell until
nearly under the bar, when it suddenly
ceases. The Helm wind proves to be less

snnifl time sugRpst to H. it. Warner & Co.,
the proprietors of the celebrated Warner's
Safe Cure, the feasibility of taking therefrom
an extract for the introduction of one of their
tIMng advertisements. The following is the
description:
"At the close of a dark day in January a
solitary horseman wends hia war across the
oin prairie in one of our Western terri
tories. He passes nt hunt intervals the lone
cabin of the hardy frontiersman. Two or
three old settlors, of whom he has inquired
the way, havo warned turn that a atorm ii

Western hospitality, urge him to Hint shel

fury. The rider dismounts to warm
his fast chilling limbs. Can s-areely
breathe, lllhidnrs comes on. Drowsiness,
steals over him. The end is near. He
is lost in the blizzard."
There is no doubt that, the terror which
seizes the bewildered traveler ia similar to
that which overcomes one when he learns
that he is sulleriiiK from nn advanced Kid
ney I lisease. and is informed that he is in the
last stages of bright disease. At first he is

Any of the above symptoms signify Kid
ney Affection, but he is told tlat he is all
rijrht. His physician treats him for symp
toms and calls it a disease, when in reality it
Is but a symptom of Kidney trouble. He
may be treated for Ithemuatic or Keuralgio
pains, heart att'eetion, or any other disease
which he Is most susceptible to. Finally the
atient has puffing under the eyes, slight
"loating of the ankles and legs. lis physi
cian may inform him that it is but the ac
cumulation of blood in his ankles for want
of proper exercise.
'the bloat continues and reaches hit body.
Then he is informed lie has dropsical
troubles, and is tapped onoe or twice. Ho
notices it ia ditticult to breathe owing- to ir
regular action of the heart, and finally is in
formed thnt be has a slight attack of Uright'i
Disease. Soon his friends are notified thnt
his is an advanced case of bright's llisease,
and that he can live but a short time. His
honorable ami dignified physician asks for
couusel. It is too late. Still he sticks to the
old family physician, and the physician
knows and has known from the beginning
that the patient has 1 eeu stricken with death
for months, for he knows full well that the
profession acknowledge they have no reme
dies for the cure of Kidney Disease.
At last tho patient suffocates is smothered
and dies from dropsical trouble. Or per
haps the disease may not take the form o a
dioiisical tendency, aud the patient dies from
apoplexy, paralysis, pneumonia or heart
trouble. Or it may take the form of blood
poisoning, in each form I he end is the sain.
And yet he and his friends were warned by
the proprietors of the celebrated remedy
known as Warner's Safe Cure, of the lurking
dangers of a slight Kidney nil'eetion.
The newspapers have published the dan
gers. Columns of facta have been printed
of men dying of advanced Kidney liisea.se
or Bright s Disease. His friends and physi
cian look around with horror aud regret
for seeming negict, but he is lost. He did
not heed the warning that a atorm was ap
proaching. Ho declined the proffered hospi

danger, lie struggled manfully for a time,
but his strength failed, he grew gradually
weaker and he was lost to the world. Zvot

The Fakir and Taking.
Tho verb "to fake" and its present
participle ''faking'' nro going into moro
general use day by day. The origin of
tho word is obvious enough, so that news
paper readers have not been treated to
any etymological or historical disquisi
tions on this head ns is tho case "with
the expression '-in tho soup." It of
courso comes from a freo use of the noun
"fakir," who in h pristine impurity be
longs to the distant and perfumed Oricut,
but who is now to be found, or nt least
United States reproductions of him aro to
bo discovered, along Nassau street vend
ing all sorts of articles, which usually
bear every evidence of having been man
ufactured inn hurry. "Faking," there
fore, is to do something without proper
material and frequently without proper
skill. The word has beeu more generally
adopted by the theatrical profession tlmu
auy other, and is applied to performances
that nre to a great extent unpremeditated
either because the lines of the dialogue or
busiuess have been forgotten by the player
or have never been learned. "Ono
curious thing about faking," raid a well
known player the other day, "is that the
audiences aro frequently much better
plcnsed with tho result thau if the per
formance was honest and conscientious to
thu hist degree. Take tho ease of danc
ing for example. I can go ou tho stage
and do a very difficult step dance, em
ploying steps and doing intricate com
binations w hich I am only able to do after
a long and arduous practice. Tho audi
enco looks ut tho prrfornmnro thiuks it
very ueat aud pretty, but there is no en
thusiasm, and when I am finished there
is no applause. Then I w ill go on tho
stage and cTune down with soiuo quaint
hanky-panky steps that require no skill
whatever aud that I can teach to any boy
iu ten minutes and tho audience will
simply howl with delight." Xtw York

Tho Queer Mongolian Drama.
Descriptions of plnygoing in China find
'.Tapnn nro not uncommon, but it ofton
Hinppens that thn writer, not being used
to tho ways of tho stage, misses ninny in
teresting nnd amusing points. Mr. Louis
AVingfield, however, is nn experienced
playgoer w'ho knows nil about the theatre,
nud what he has to tell us in his new
book, "Wanderings of n Olobo Trotter,"
is therefore specially diverting nnd in
structive. Tho Chinese players havo not

"This is n palace." These servants nre

Bribery In Spain.
Tho llev. Dr. J. M. Hucklcy, writing
of Spain, says: "llribcry is general in
Spain. Almost anything can bo dono
with n fee. Not more than forty per
cent, of the taxes levied by tho Govern
ment can bo collected. Mayors of cities
get rich in n year. One, at least, of tho
most important cities is destitute of
credit. Is'o one will lend it any money.
Spaniards so distrust each other that
money is not forthcoming for great
public works. The English manage tho
water works, the street cars aud almost
cvcryt'uiug else."
Sovereign Tleinrdy for Sleeplessness.
Captain Henry I'ass, of Home; Ga.,has
a sovereign remedy for sleeplessness.
"It is, "hcsays,"ns simple as if is effectual.
I order for my supper a good supply of
fresh meat (sausage is tine), and see that
there is plenty of it prepared; don't bo
uneasy for fear of hurting yourself, but
eat plenty of biscuits, drink tw o cups of
coffee, a plnsa or two of milk ami go to
bed; don't sit up nnd read two or tlueo
hours, but go nt once to bed, nnd I will
guarantee a good night's sleep."

Most women naturally look forwnrJ to matrimony ns tlicir proper
sphere in life, but they should constantly boar in mind that a fair, rosy
face, bright eyes, nnd a healthy, well-developed form, are tho bent pass
ports to a happy marriage. All those wasting disorders, weaknesses, and
functional irregularities peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty and attract
iveness and mako life miserable. An unfailing hpeeiiiu for those, mal
adies is to be found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite I'lvscriptLm. It is tho
only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a irosflivo guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction iu every case, or
money will bo refunded. This guarantee, has been priuted on the
bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried out for many years. $1.00 per
