and nitrogen.
Wheat Is called a scourging crop because
IL rapidly impoverishes soil In conse-
quence Of requiring for Its composition
large quantities of materials, chiefly inor-
ganic, which are generally rare in soils.
A frequent repetition Of the crop, without
the Intervention of green crops, deprives
the soil of all tho necessary Ingredients.
In consequence, II Is found impossible,
even upon the best wheat soils, 10 grow
wheat for several years In succession,
without injuring the land. A compensa-
tion must be returned to the soil for the
ingredients which have been absorbed by
the crop and this must be done either
directly, by manures or by growing other
crops which do not require the chief con
stituents Of wheat and plowing them in
for manure.
The manures for wheat vary according
TO the nature of the soil, and TO ascertain
which are necessary an analysis OF the
soil should be made The wheat soils of
the United States are generally deficient
In ammonia, and on this account nitrogen
Gus manures, such as guano, flesh.blood,
sheep. dung and well.managed barn.yard
manure, are beneficial.
The composition of wheat varies &C,
cording to the nature Of the soil and Of the
manures which are applied to IT, Those
manures which are rich In nitrogen, not
only increase the crop, but also produce q
grain richer in gluten and consequently
more valuable
In many places wheat soils are manured
by the combined action of clover, plaster
and sheep.dung. The surface soil being
deficient In soluble lime and sulphuric
acid, two Ingredients necessary for clover,
plaster Is applied, which contains these
two components, and the clover grows
luxuriantly. But while the surface soil
has been impoverished by frequent crop
ping without manure, the subsoil remains
full of salts, and the clover sends down its
long tap.roots collects such inorganic
matter as II finds In the subsoil and brings
II to the surface. The sheep cat the leaves
and scatter the constituents of the clover
over the ground with the ammonia formed
In the urine. The clover Is then plowed
under, and all that II has received from the
subsoil and the atmosphere is rendered
still more soluble by decay, and placed In
position where Il Is taken up by the
roots of the wheat
There are several ways of preparing
land for wheat, such as summer following
with three plowings; blowing once (;
plowing once and making the surface mel
low with the harrow, cultivator, etc. All
these modes have their advocates and are
severally adapted to peculiar soils. The
cardina points Of preparation for wheat
are drainage, deep tillage, destruction of
weeds and suitable manuring.- Western

Farmers, Boys.

From the Western Rural
Much is now being said about boys
leaving the farm for the purpose of engag-
ing in trade, studying law, medicine, or

Farmers frequently seem TO be somewhat
chagrined TO think that they cannot per.
suade Their boys TO stay on the farm; yet a
great many fail to perceive the true cause
OF the boys becoming discontented In a
majority of instances this is the fault ofthe
farmers. A great many farmers are in the
habit of keeping their boys continually

recreation, from one month 8 end 10 anoth

"A veteran of the old Napoleonic wars
in Breslau, received, until lately, only the
liberal pension of 81 a month. As this
was ins ufflcient to keep the body and soul
of the old soldier together, and he was tired
of begging aims, he drew petition to the
King of Prussia, and resolved tog go to Berlin,
and present the petition to the sovereign
in person. He went ON foot from Breslau
to Berlin, but the king happened to be
absent from the capital. At length, after
weeks duration, the man heard that his
majesty had returned so he took position
under the window of the kings cabinet.
As soon as the king stepped to the win
dow, he noticed the veteran, sent an adju-
tant to him, and afterward conversed a
long time with him. When he dismissed
him, he patted him ON the shoulder, and

The Resurrection Plant.

THIS is one of the latest curiosities in the
plant line. We obtained one of Mr.. Wick,
of Rochester, last spring, and it then re-
sembled bunch four or five inches in di-
ameter ofcurled up shoots of young cedar,
with small cluster of thread-like roots
depending from the bottom. Placing it
in saucer of water the bunch unrolled in
few hours, spreading out quite flat, and
presented somewhat the appearance of a
heavy patch of moss. In this state it re-
manned two or three weeks. If the supply
of moisture failed for time the plant gave
warning by assuming its regular ball like
form. At the end of that time we trans
planted it to the ground, and it looked
fine and green under the influence of
genial showers. But the weather grew
dry and the Resurrection Plant rolled itself
into ball and rolled away before the
wind, the roots not having much grasp on
the soil. 1t lay in the sun on the ground
for month, when we gave it to friend
who placed it in saucer of water, and 10,
it spread out its arms again and showed
the green color of vegetable life. An
exchange thus speaks of this singular
plant:
"These plants are brought from the
southern part of Mexico. During the
rainy season they flourish luxuriantly, but
when the dry weather and hot sun scorch
the earth, they, too, dry and curl up, and
blow about at the mercy of the wind Tc
all appearance they are as dead as the
brown and sere leaf but as soon as the
rain comes again, the roots suck up the
water, the leaves unfold and assume q
beautiful emerald-green appearance. No
matter where the plant may be, on rock
a tree, or house-top, wherever the winds
have blown it, there it rests, and being q
true temperance plant, it only asks for
water, and at once bursts into new life
Having purchased one of these tufts, and
placed it in soup plate filled with water
the reader will be surprised to see it grad
ually unfold and take on deep green
The leaves are arranged spirally, and al,
together, the resurrection plant is the
latest curiosity. ."-Rural Neso Yorker
