Depth Of soRiR9 Wheat.

We have heard of an instance in England
where wheat had been sown broadcast on the
land and before it could be narrowed III, rain
seIl and continued TO fall for days, so that the
seed never was covered, yet the crop did we'll
On the other hand we have known seed wheat
powed in three or four inches deep, and this
also did we'll.
Still, the depth at which it is best to SOW
wheat is a matter of some Importance. If all
the conditions are favorable, there may be
little difference the result Of covering deep
or shallow, or not at all. But in the case Of
a very dry fall, ard especially on land from
which spring crop has been removed, it is
very important to bury the seed deep enough
to insure moisture sufficient for its gcrmina-
tion. Hence one advantage Of sowing with
the drill.
One of the editors Of the Country Gentle
man sowed some wheat on the 2lst of last
May at various depths, and carefully noted the
result. That which was covered half an inch
deep came up in FIVE days; one inch deep in
six days; two inches deep in seven days three
inches deep in eight days. four inches deep in
ten days six inches deep in twelve days
Five weeks afterwards, there was no percepti-
BILE difference in that planted half an inch
and an inch deep; that planted two inches
deep was not quite SO good and SO OH de
creasing in quality as the depth of planting
increased. AT six inches depth, there were
but few slender stalks.
In the fall Of the year, the ground is warm
er than in May and ii is we'll known that the
warmer the soil, other things being eqaaI, the
sooner seed will germinate. On this account
we should perhaps SOW q little deeper in the
autumn than in the Spring.
AS rule, we may conclude that the shall
lower grain is covered, so that a constant and
adequate supply of moisture is furnished, the
more rapidly will termination proceed. If
wheat is sown early enough, rapid germina-
tioE is not very essential, and therefore the
aim should be to get the wheat well and even
ly covered, even if germinatioa is delayed
few days. In the spring, when the ground is
moist and cool, whca! need not be covered
more than an iuch deep. In the fall. it may
be covered deeper. say from one to two inches
and if the ground is very dry, little deep

FRAEKEEsS.

Frankncss is supposed 10 be common vir-
tue. Ii is most uncommon. 1t requires truth,
simplicity, love and genuine goodness. Men
speak plainly when they do speak, but they
are not open and free.
Many speak truths very plainly when angry
many speak pleasant truths frankly. But few
there are whose souls are so balanced in an at
mosphere of love that they speak whatever
need to be said, to each and to all plainly gen.
tly, fully. The dearest friends live together
for years without daring to speak things which
they know and which each party knows that
the other knows. Parents live with a reserve
years long toward their children. Children
carry untouched, unsylabed thoughts and feel
ings that take hold OF their very being. Friends
meet and part day by day-friends so true
that they would almost die for each other, or,
what is. harder than this, who are willing
to live for each other-and never speak of
things that each knows is passing in the 9th
ers mind. 1t is very strange 10 see people
come up in conversation TO topics that, by a
tacit freemasonry, are sacred, and without
word or look one glides past on one side, and
the other on the other side, and meet beyond,
going down the common channel again.
Was there ever thoughtful, sensitive per-
son who dared to be open, transparent, frank?
But however this mag be, there can be no
doubt that people are not frank enough for
each others good. If men knew how to speak
the truth in love. how rich enc might become
a man might then stand in the foods of the
wisdom of all his friends. But, refusing TO
let their lights shine, men now grope in the
partial light of their own wisdom, distempered
by selflove.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

Take earnestly hold of life, as capacitated
and destined to high and noble purpose aud
end. Study closely the minds bent for labor
or profession. Adopt something, pursues it
early, follow it steady never looking back to
the turned furrow, but always forward to the
new ground that ever remains to be broken
Means and ways are abundant to every mans
success, if will and action are rightly adapted
to them. Our rich men and our great men
have carved their paths to fortune and to fame
by this rule-a rule that cannot fail to re-
ward its votary, if it be resolutely pursued
10 sigh Or repine over a lack of Inheritance is
unmanly.
Every man should try to be creator rath-
er than inheritor, he should bequeath rather
than borrow. The human race in this respect,
wants dignity and discipline. 1t prefers WELD
ing the sword of valorous forefatbers, to for
ging its weapons. This is a mean and ignobIe
spirit Let every man be concious of the good
in him, and the providence over him, and fight
his own battles with his own good lance. Let
him feel that it is better to eat crust than to
inherit Golfers, This spirit of nobility, once
learned, and every man will discover within
himself, under God, his elements and capaci-
ties He will be rich--intensly rich-in self
resources, and can lift his face proudly to meet
the noblest among men.
