How to Determine in Advance the
Growth of Wheat.

To me there is no longer a doubt
that this can be done with as much
certainty, and is established by evil
dence as positive and conclusive, as
any other facts that are known to ex>
list, and PROFESSIONALLY is beyond a
doubt. Natural causes are the guide
and are easily understood when known
and occur between the middle OF Oc~
tober and the middle of February,
which will determine the growth of the
coming crop of wheat-whether it will
be a large crop, an average, or failure.
And by reason of this, farming is made
less doubtful than heretofore, as a
change of crops may be made in Ease
of a coming failure ofwheat,o or by sow
ing largely when a heavy one is indi-
Gated, or all kinds when an average is
coming in. Other advantages may be
taken by those who may be in posses
ion of the information by holding over
if a failure, or otherwise if large crop
is coming in, as heavy or light crops
greatly influence the market Winter
wheat being sown before the causes
appear that indicate a failure, it of
course would not be of use for fall
wheat in case of failure, but in other
respects it would be. Winter wheat
is sown to a very limited extent in the
territory, where | claim that my dis,
covery is a true guide. This territory
lies west Of Lake Michigan and north
OF forty~one degrees, and to some ex-
tent south of that line, but would not
be so sure, as the effect of those aus
es gradually disappear as yougo south
The theory that | now claim as a dis
covery,I have been testing for the last
thirteen years, and in no case have
those causes failed to indicate correct
Iy the coming harvest. Believing that
l am as much entitled to a benefit as
those who make useful discoveries or
inventions who are protected by patent
rights, there being no protection OF
that kind for a discovery of this kind,
| use this method of placing it before
you. l will impart this information
for sixty dollars, or thirty dollars each
year for two years, or ten dollars a
year for ten years, at the expiration of
that time the key to the guide will be
given; but all necessary information
will be given before seeding time of
each year, which will be just as useful
as though you were actual possession,
or five dollars a year, and only give
the information in time for seeding, so
long as you desire. Those who are in
terested in this can write and state
which of the propositions they prefer.
[ will adopt the n the majority de-
sire, as l shall adopt but one rule for
all. This year is now indicated by
those causes to be an extreme one
either very large or very small. Inns
mediately after seeding time | will
state which, and give it as evidence
that those causes do correctly indicate
the coming harvest. Those who want
to knowthis before seeding time should
write to me. It is the extremes either
way that is particularly valuable to
farmers, as they can either avoid a loss
or reap a rich harvest.
This article should be preserved for
reference, and note facts,as they come
before you.

Ever on my weary mind doth dwell,
Sweet pictures that Love SO WE'LL
They we're not drs En By an artist fair,
But simple childhood formed them there;
ohsngeless are they, and exquisite Of mold
Painted by Memory with Ipotless gold.
They are faithful companions in weary days,
And to joyous hours they lend their rays.
They tell me of friends, and other years,
Yet their tones are mild, they Oft Oring tears
They speak Of a home ~thatlong since 1 knew,
OF a hearth where naught but affection grew.
They know allow cottage with green Windo" DhhoS
Where there are many sweet fl lovers Of Tarions klhd''
OF a bright little river, which always did now
Towardt the old orchard, where the apple trees grow
They tell Of an elm, and a deep stone well,
Where the "iroD bound bucket" 80 often has fell.
But those pictures to me are sacred now,
Since on one sad morning I made them a bow,
was then a child, when from there l did roam
For the wids Of the West, 70 and me a home.

How do you manage, Mr. Hill, when you
first get hold of a thief?'
You shall soon see, ma'am, for l have one in

He came here of his own accord this morning.
Mr.. Hill fetched the man in. He looked
q thief every inch of him. His calling was as
plainly marked on his features as if the word
tibet was printed on his forehead.
Mr.. Hill seated himself, took out his register

Well, sir, on London bridge. as often as
