Slf-You are hereby notified for the present not to
aransmit in coin or bullion or by letters Of credit or
draft or in any other way, directly indirectly any
moneys to banks individuals Of the Southern seeded
states shall regard such act, if committed, act Of

cute accordingly United states pstric, sAM Attorney
Blr. Smith did not explain how he proposed to
Iletect such acts of treason. How could he find out
whether bank is paying Southern drafts or not
I'VE presume that the Southern moneys now lying
here which are said to amount to several millions
Df dollars, will be drawn for in favor of Western
produce dealers. Would it be treason for New
York bank to pay a Southern draft in favor Of a
Chicago grain dealer? For these, and other still
more obvious reasons, the District Attorney with
drew his letter this afternoon.

Good Soed- Early Wheat.


"what you sow, that shall you also reap"
is as true in agriculture Us IN morals. 1t
was once thought, and sustained 6y high
authority, that imperfectly ripened wheat, If
II would gcrminate, was as good as any for
scotland even recommend rs better than
good, plump kernels, Us more seed were con-
taiped in bushel. Experience proves this
notion fallacious. We may US well expect a
full sized Morgan horse from Spanish jack
a~, as good crop Of wheat from imperfect
seed. To produce the best We must prOpa-
gate from the best.
In England the farmers take the sheaves
and whip them gently over q stone, when
the best and earliest ripened kernels will fall
out, which they take for seed. A better
method Is To 80 through the feld, and select
the earliest ripened heads for seed, which
will soon produce an earlier variety than
the original stock. Such seed will also pro-
duec crop free from smut. Sowing poor
half ripcned, imperfect seed, is sowing smut
and disappointment. II might seem that it
would be an endless task to gather enough
early heads for seed, but it requires but two
or three years to change the variety, aud
have seed I" enough and to spare"
Awhea. known in Scotland rs the Hope
town wheat. and deemed an excellent and
prolific variety, owes its origin 20 an acci-
dental circumstance OF an observing farmer
having remarked very superior ear, IRON
which he picked out ninety-nine kernals,
and from their product came this celebrated
variety.
"Tc show the rapidity with which such
seed may multiply We give an instance. A
farmer in Cambridgeshirc, England, in 1910,
gathered eighteen very fine ears, the pro-
cecds Of which filled common wine glass.
These seeds he planted the following autumn,
and produced one peck. This was planted
the following autumn aud produced seven
bushels and one peck, and this produced one
hundred and eight bushels and two pecks,
which was planted in lSls, and produced
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eisht
bushels" This was the increase Of eighteen
heads Of wheat in four years.
Another farmer planted thirty kernels in
1889, which produccd fourteen and three
fourth ounces this was sown, and produced
one bushel and one peck; this produced for
ty.fve bushels; and this, in ls4l. produced
i've hundred and thirty.scven bushels.
Ii will thus be seen that the task Of gath.
ering the earliest ripened heads, and thus
producing an early variety. is not great ;
and farmers viii be well paid for the trouble.
They will get q variety that can be sowed
late enough to escape the rust. Try il and
give US the rcsuls.-oGO Farmer.

Shall we Plow In tho Fall.

AL lands except light loans and sandy
loans and sandy soils. are benefited BY fall
plow,ng, unless they are exposed to washing.
Steep side hills should never be plowod in
the fall, unless you SOW them Immediately
with grain or grass seed, to furnish roots for
holding the soil in place.
But all heavy lands lying flat, and clays,
arc benefited by fall plowing. The teams
are generally in the best condition for plow-
ing at this season. They have had good
pastunge through the summer. and as a
rule, have lcs to do than in the winter and
spring. I'll puts the spring work very much

ahead to have all the green sward turned
over in the fall. However much Of this
may be done, the teams will have enough to
do in the spring, in carting manure, cross
plowing, narrowing, and getting ready for
sowing and planting.
In the fall the lands that are the most ben
fitted by plowing are generally in the best
condition for the operation. In the spring,
they are often so wet that they cannot be
plowed until May or June. Now they are
dry, and will crumblo as they are turned
over.
BY plowing now, they are prepared to re-
cciye the full benefit OF the action OF frost,
rain and snow through the winter. There
are no dsintegrators like the elements. Stiff
clays and hardpans are made loose and fria-
BILE by these exposures. The more rough
and broken they are LET, by the plough, the
better. Then there are rough pasture swards
full Of brush and rank weeds, and reclaimed
swamps with thick turf of swarmp grass
es; they are best subdued by tearing them
up now. They freeze and thaw through the
winter, and little life is left in them by spring.
Besides this, blowing has an important
influence upon insect life. Many insects
burrow in the earth. and il left undisturbed,
come forth with new life in the SPRING
Flowing disturbs their winter arrangements,
and kills myriads Of their larvae. At this
season the soil may be safely plowed deeper
thm in the spring. Ths inch or two Of
yellow soil will undergo important changes
before spring Agrieuiturisi.
