WHEAT is a money | crop, writes Isaac j E. Squire to the j Practical Farmer, j from Lorainl V County, Ohi o. j \ Good §eod is uec- \ essary in order i \to have a paying J >lOll crop. It must be good both in kind L / andquality; must it have still straws so as to stand up well and should be a kind which sis free from attacks from weevil. We should be careful to have ••"J it clean from

chess, rye and cockle. If wo should be i so unfortunate as to sow foul seed, I tind it the best way to go through the field and pull up the rye and cockle, which is much better than to leave it in the wheat to ripen. We can get rid of it very easy in this way. by going through the field every six or eight weeks. I think it a very good plan to tako the bulletins put out by the State Experimental Stations as a guide in choosing seed wheat, and select the kind that does the best by them for a number of years and give it a thorough test. As regards selecting and fitting ground for the seed, I almost always sow after oats, instead of summer fallow, for the reason that two crops pay better than one: or take a clover sod or sow after corn. But sowing after' corn makes it rather late; yet sometimes we get a very good crop in this way, I plow the land as soon as I can get the oats off, or if clover, as soon as second crop is largo enough for best results, so as to lot the land get well packed down before sowing. I find that land plowed early, say last of July or first of August, is In better condition for wheat than that plowed just before sowing. Land plowed early needs to be thoroughly harrowed, so as to get a good, mellow seed-bed; but not toodeep, twoor three inches is deep enough. My wheat does the best where it follows oats, which In their turn followed corn, which had been well covered with stable manure before planting. I like to sow wheat here in Northern Ohio, from the Bth to the 15th of September, when everything is favorable. From two to three hundred pounds of phosphate should be used. I would use the same amount even if sown after clover, unless I had barn-yard manure to cover the land, for I do not depend on the clover to insure a first-class crop. I sowed a piece of land to wheat as an experiment, sowing one and one-half bushels to the acre one way and then cross sowing with the same amount the other way, putting on 200 pounds of phosphate to the acre each way. It did the best of any wheat that I ever raised. It yielded at the rate of forty-four bushels to the acre. I let my wheat got middling ripo before harvesting, so as to be able to draw It into the barn soon after cutting, and not run the risk of “catching” weather. I do not like to stack wheat, on account of the risk one runs of getting it injured by wet weather, but rather put the wheat in the barn and leave the hay out in stacks until after threshing. After the grain is threshed then hay may be drawu in. Wheat should not be threshed until after it sweats in the mow, so as not to sweat in the bin and leave the grain musty. We should bo very careful to get the fields well drained, cither by surface or underdrainage, for we cannot expect to raise any wheat where the ground is saturated with water.

LIVE STOCK.

£oll lor sherf>. The quality of the soil is am element to be considered more or less with all domestic animals, Thus, for instance, black hogs are thought to be better adapted to low, rick, adtavial lands or prairies, while white hogs are better suited for light upland soils. The thin soil of the Western Reserve, says the Sheep Breeder, do for the manufacture of cheese, but for butter, the deep, strong prairies about Elgin, UL, are preferred. On the other hand, this butter soil makes coarse, inferior wool, while the more sterile lands of Northern Ohio, where it is so often only two or three inches down to hard-pan, yield a superior fleece. But tire purest - staple of all is grown on the well-drained hillsides of the Appalachian range, where the water is pure and the grass is sweet and tender. So also these hill and mountain ranges are best for small breeds of sheep, such as the Merino and the Southdown or the Welsh Mountain breed or the Cheviot The heavy Lincoln or the Cotswold or the Shropshire require, or at least do better, on lands which are more level and fertile. About tlie Hog. Know when the sow is to farrow. Keep large and small hogs separate. The foundation for pig growth should be grass. It is what a hog digests and assimilates that benefits. The best is always the cheapest in the end in breeding. The first hundred pounds put on tho pig is the cheapest. A boar on sow fed on corn will hardly prove a good breeder. Do not complain of cheap prices when you raise cheap hogs. A good ham. short nose and legs is a good type for a brood sow. The best way of feeding small pigs i 9 to give a small quantity frequently. Failing to clean out Properly often makes the lrog have a source of disease. When hogs cost, more than they will sell for, there is no good in raising them. Breed only from mature animals and never from an animal out of a show herd. When a hog is ready for the butcher It is a waste of time and feed to keep it any longer. If no more food is fed thau to supply

waste In the young animal the food Is thrown away. t Four pounds of corn or twelve quarts of skiinmilk will make one pound of growth in a hog. The hog that can be made to weigh 200 pounds in tho shortest time Is the most profitable. Pigs as a rule should be weaned when they are eight weeks old. Thej should be well fed, however.,

THE POULTRY-YARD.

Do Eggs I'ay at L»o%t Prices? When eggs are as low as ten cents a dozen, do they pay? This is a question 1 that often comes up for discussion. In olden times, before the railroads had reached all points, our ancestors were content with six cents per dozen for eggs. Whether eggs pay or not depends on how much they cost. We do not believe that a farmer should feed his hens at all in the summerseasou, if they have a range. Allow a flock to have access j to the stubble of the wheat field, or where grass is plentiful, and they will secure all the food required and moro than they need, and of a variety. When insects, grass and waste grain can be j converted into eggs by the hens, there Is j simply a saving of that which might ! otherwise be wasted. Wo are partial to the active and industrious hen. She will cost her owner nothing in summer, and the eggs cau be sold low and yet give a profit. Tho lien needs no feed for five months in the year, and fifty pounds of grain will carry her over tho cold season, at which time eggs are high, in warm climates ope half tho grain only is imeded. Tho true way to keep fowls is to allow them to forage in an orchard. Poultry and fruit make an excellent combination. —[Farm and Fireside. A Fli t of llye. As soon as the fall comes lay off a plot for rye, to be used as green food for poultry after other green food has ceased to grow. It is not necessary to turn the hens on tho rye as L may be cut and fed to them, and it will also provide green food early in the spring, before anything else in the shape of green food puts in an appearance. Use plenty of seod, as the thicker the rye the better. Only a small plot will answer well.—[Farm and Fireside. Egg TontH. A good egg will sink in water. Stale eggs are glassy and smooth of shell. A fresh egg has a lime-like surface to its shell. The boiled eggs which adhere to the shell are fresh laid. After an egg has laid a day or moro the shell comes off easily when boiled. Thin shells are caused by a lack of gravel etc., among the hens laving eggs. Eggs which have been packed in lime look stained, and show the action of the lime on the surface. If an egg is clean and golden in appearance when hold to tho light it is good; if dark or spotted, it is bad. The badness of an egg can sometimes be told by shaking near the holder’s ear, but the test is a dangerous one. Many devices have been tested to keep eggs fresh, but the less time an egg is kept, the better lor tho egg and the one that eats it.

THE DAIRY.

More Cows on LesN Acres, As land rises in price in tho more thickly settled portious of the country, dairymen have to adopt new methods in keeping cows, or else move on to cheaper land. Most of them do not pasture their cows as formerly but feed them in summer as well as in winter. By soiling cattle. three times as many may be kept on the same number of acres as to let them pasture over it. Rye is good for an early soiling crop, then clover, oats, corn, prickey coinfrey and other crops may be used in their season. In early spring, cows may be turned out for awhile while the grass is fresh, but they should be brought up and have additional feed when it gets tough and scarce. Also in the fall, when the rains have started the grass they may be pastured again for awhile. Cows should not be allowed to shrink any in their milk before beginning to soil them, but the flow should be kept up to the fullest amount as long as possible. The silo comes in here as a great factor, for many crops can be ensilaged and fed at any time of the year. —[Farm and Home.

Applofi for Mlleh Cow*. It is remembered when it was common to denounce the feeding of oats to milch cows lest it would dry up the milk. Chemistry has settled this doubt, added to common sense. There is much excellent nutriment in apples. But alone, apples are not a perfect food. Therefore, apples should be fed with meals, hay, and grain. Applfcs will produce a plentiful supply of thin milk, but being deficient In fat require albuminoids and fats or starch to make rich trnlk and much butter. Apples cooked and raw, are an excellent adjunct to cattle foods and fodders. There is nothing so greedily sought for as apples by milch cows. As in the human subject so in animals, whatever is grateful to the taste is generally healthful and desirable food. Persons, especially young ones, thrive ou apples, pears, peaches, grapes, and other fruits. Fruit Is both grateful and healthful. Cooked apples with wheat-bran slop is a special stimulant to the flow of milk. - To this add a handful of flaxseed meal and one of pea-meal, and good rich milk and fine flavored butter will be sure to be produced. Cows unaccustomed to apples if fed too freely, especially if the apples are very sour, might have colic. Cooked corn meal, ground oats and apples make a most admirable ration for milk and butter, and health. Too few roots and too few apples are fed to cows. .-srjjAmerican Agriculturist.

Some Interesting Pets.

Pour years ago last September I found and brought home four young flying squirrels Casualties overtook two of them, leaving a pair, which were given the liberty of the kitchen. They grew very fast, and became very tame and playful, but were withal very timid, the least unusual noise causing them to run for a hiding place, and making them very nervous Thoy were provided with a box to sleep in; and showed their instinct by storing it full of nuts but liked best to sleep In the pockets of any clothing within their reach. During the day they kept closely hidden, but in tho evening were very active, and delighted in jumping from 3houlder to shoulder of those at the supper table, stopping now and then to taste tho dainties offered them. After supper the squirrels would accompany the family to tho sittingroom, where they would immediately climb to the highest accessible point and begin to jump, not stopping tbeir romp until wo retired. After our little squirrels were grown I captured another, also full-grown, and took it home t> them, but for a time they would havo nothing to do with tho stranger. They moved their entire st ire of nuts to a new hiding placo, and stayed on the opposito side of tho room from tho intruder, not allowing him to come near their nest. After a time, however, they overcame their jea'ousy of the little stranger and made friends with him, their friendship being iniorrupto I very soon by tho escape of th.i wild squirrel through a door, loft open by accident The female died when two years old. They had never bred. After this, for a long time, the male seemo I very loneso re, then became more sociable than ever, and has become quite domestic. He is fond of music, and when some ono plays the kind of music he likes he will sit and listen vo. y attentively. He has no inclination to escape from captivity, but, on tho contrary, if he does get out by mistake, he Immediately returns and seems glad to bo at home again. In the winter, when the fires are built, our little pet comes out to hunt up his friends, entering when ho finds the doors open and going to each bed to soo if we aro awake

He is neat and cleanly, seldom gets into mischief, and does not make any trouble except by filling things full of nuts. Wo often wondor how long our pot will livo, and shall all be sorry when we havo to part with him, as ho is the most affoettonate and entertaining pet we havo had.—Forest and stream.

“August Flower” I had been troubled five months with Dyspepsia. The doctors told me it was chronic. I had a fullness after eating and a heavy load in the pit of my stomach. I suffered frequently from a Water Brash of clear matter. Sometimes a deathly Sickness at the Stomach would overtake me. Then again I would have the terrible pains of Wind Colic. At such times I would try to belch and could not. I was working then for Thomas McHenry, Druggist, Cor. Irwin and Western Ave., Allegheny City, Pa., in whose employ I had been for seven years. Finally I used August Flower, and after using just one bottle for two weeks, was entirely relieved of all the trouble. I can now eat things I dared not touch before. I would like to refer you t« Mr. McHenry, for whom I worked, who knows all about my condition, and from whom I bought the medicine. I live with my wife and family at 39 James St., Allegheny City, Pa.
