We think our farmers in Maine have been
quite too easily discouraged in their attempts
to raise winter wheat. In our own experi-
ence we have found it to be as successful as an
average of other cultivated crops. 1t is less H.
able to rust and weevils than spring grain of
any sort, and this fact is fair offset to the dan
ger of its being winter-killed. When it sur
wives the winter. it starts with the earliest
spring, advances rapidly in its growth and
sends up its stalks, forms its heads flowers
and natures its kernels before the weevils ap-
pear and before the warm, muggy weather of
summer produces rust upon the leaves. Its
earliness is pretty sure escape from either of
those disadvantages which visit the later grains
s0wn in spring. We have, indeed, sometimes
seen rust and weevils on winter wheat, but
very seldom. The grand object, as it appears
to us, is, to sow the seed early in the preceding
autumn-so early as to insure fair growth
before the ground freezes up. In this case, the
roots get firm hold in the earth, and the lux
uriant tops, like coating of thick grass, af-
ford covering and protection TO the plants
during winter 1t ought, in this climate where
the autumns are short, to be sown in August.
1t mag do in September, if the remainder OF
the season should prove warm and favorable to
growth. AT any rate, it must have time to get
well rooted before winter. 1t is too late to fol-
low crop of corn or potatoes. Further south
Or west this may do, but in Maine it will not
answer; unless, as we have known to be the
successful practice of some, the seed is hoed
into the cOrnfeld at the last hoeing of the corn.
In this case the young plants put forth very ear
| ly, and, though somewhat shaded for uiie py
| the maturing corn, will obtain good growth
| in autumn. The practice is entitled to serious
| consideration. When this Is not done. there
ia no oround ordinarily on the farm in readi-
ness for the seed. The best method which we
have found is to plough up piece of the
,rass land, after moving, let it lie fallow till
the middle of August, then spread on suita-
| BILE quantity of manure, or some of the concen-
trated fertilizers, harrow it in thoroughly, SOW
the wheat, brush it in and pass heavy roller
over the plantation. The roots of the grass
will rot and the soil become mellow by the
| time the grain makes its growth the ensuing
season. Either of these methods will be pret.
/ ty sure to enable the wheat to Withstand the
/ rigor of winter. Care, too, should be taken

A THRILLING STORY.

John Taylor was licensed, when youth
OF twenty-one, to practice at the bar. He
was poor, but well educated, and possess
ed extraordinary genius. He married
beauty who afterwards deserted him for
another.
On the 9th of April, 1910, the court
house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded
to overlooking. An exciting case was to
be tried. George Hopkins, wealthy
planter, had offered gross insult to Mary
Ellison, the young and beautiful wife of
his overseer. The husband threatened to
chastise him for the outrage, when Hop
kins went to Ellison's house and shot him
in his own door The murderer was ar
rested and bailed to answer the charge.
This occurrence produced great excite
ment, and Hopkins in order TO turn the
tide of popular Indignation had circulated
reports against her character, and she had
sued hun for SANDER. Both suits were
pennington murder and SANDER.
The interest became deeper, when it was
known that Ashlee and Pike, of Arkan
sas, and S. S. Prentis., of New Orleans.
by enormous fees, had been retained to de-
fend Hopkins.
Hopkins was acquitted. The Texas
lawyers were overwhelmed by their oppo-
nents. 1t was fight of dwarf against
giants.
The SANDER suit was for the 9th, and
the throng of spectators grew in numbers
as In excitement. Public opinion was set
ting in for Hopkins his money had pro-
cured witnesses who served his powerful
advocates. When the SANDER case was
called, Mary Ellison was left without an
attorney--all had withdrawn.
Have you no counsel 2 inquired Judge
Mills, looking kindly on the plaintiff.
