The Best Depth to Sow
Wheat.

in the Annual Register. of RI
raj affairs for 1869. Published ty
Luther Tucker & Son, Albany,
n. Y, and edited by the we'll
known agriculturist, J. J. Thomas,
we hnt q record OF an interesting
series Of experiments in wheat
sowing, Of which the following are
the results:
Planted half an inch deep, the
plants came up in five days: plant
ed one inch deep the plants came
upin six days; planted two inches
deep the plants came up seven
days; planted three inches deep,
the plants came up in eight days;
planted four inches deep, tho
plants came up in ten days plant
cd six inches deep, the plants came
up in twelve days.
Five weeks afterwards there
was no pcrceptiblc difference in
that planted half an inch and an
inch deep; that planted two inches
deep was not so good so on de-
ereasing in quality as Ghe depth
OF planting increased. At six
inches there were but few slender
stalks. As the crops approaches
maturity the difference between
the shallow and deep planting be-
comes less obvious-so that one
inch and three inch planting are
not greatly different in their re-
suits, although the deeper plant.
ing is little late in ripening, and
and is hardly so productive. For
this reason wheat planted with
good drill On we'll prepare and
rolled ground, vhcrc it may b.
put in with great evenncss, ripeus
more uniformly, and brings ra-
ther better return than wheat
sown broadcast and covered with
a harrow at different depths. For
the same reason twenty FIVE per
cent. in seed is saved BY using the
drill. That Is g bushcl ard a half
per acre will answer the same pur.
pose, if properly drilled in, as two
| bushels sown broadcast and har-
rowed. In a light loose soil the
depth pay be greater than in one
moro heavy and compact. A
greater depth is required during IL
timo of serious drought that when
the soil has q good supply of mois-
ture. As a general average, u
depth of two inches is enough,
One inch would be better if tie
soil were sufficiently moist. but it
is difficult to get a drill so as 70
deposit the seed uniformly SO
shallow.

awful scene around him, toiled
Sandy Cameron.
They remembered h m well
whose lives he saved. TIE bronzed
man with light hair, and the grip
Of Hercules. SO the boats and
rafts-somc to live, somc to die
were all atloat. All gone into the
darkness, and struggling forms
had vanished from the waves, and
! alone together, the flames ap-
preaching them like dancing de-
mons, stood old Captain Oaks and
his first mate, Sandy Cameron.
"Captain," said Sandy, sits most
over"
"Ay: ay, lad," said the captain.
"Give US your fist. We've sailed
together good while now. We
seem bound for the long voyage
now. Lord help us, Sandy!"
"Therc's chance yet maybe" !"
said the first mate. TRY for it,
! captain"
"No," said the sailor, II go with
her. No wife waits for me, no
child. She's my wife and children
all in one. Try, you. I 50 down
with her"
That was the last that Sandy
Cameron saw or heard of the cap
tain.
4 rush and roar from below,
where the spirits were stored, end
cd the words.
Then came blindness and silence,
and time paused for him.
x z
At last there was sound again
the sound Of waters. Sight, the
red lamps Of the lighthouse. Feel
ing, that Of the wet sand against
his face.
Some strange providence had
saved Sandy Cameron's life.
Bruised and weak, he lay mo-
tionlcss for a long while-bruised
aud weak, still he staggered to his
feet at last.
Above hin-his sailor eye used
to rcmcmbersuch things-towcrcd
wcll-known rocks, kissed by q
struggling moonlight.
The sea had flung him into the
arms Of his native seaport; and
up above, q man, wandering along
the shore, watching the lighthouse
signals perhaps, was singing a
hymn, a Methodist hymn:
There's light in the window for thee,
brother,
There's light in the window for thee"
And then the tears rolled down
tho sailors checks, and his soften
ed heart yearned for The mother
who had said:
I'll keep light till yc come
back, Sandy"
Twenty years ago, and she was
nearly fifty then. Probably she
was dead ; but some one might be
in the old home yet who could tell
him Of her.
And so in the midnight dark
ness the sailor staggered up the
rivcr-path, through the changed
streets, and, led by the compass of
his heart, to the lane where his
boyhood's homo had been so long
before.
The lane was no more-a street
of houses now; but at its end, or
be dreampt, Sandy saw q candle
glcans.
He drew nearer. No fancy mis-
led him.
Yes, between the curtains stood
Il candle, in very truth, and in the
window of his own old home.
He staggered on, his heart beat
ing wildly. He struck. the door
| with his hand.
He waited, trembling, and the
| door opened; at it stood and old,
old woman with white hair-his
| mother. lie knew her stern,
strong features and her blue eyes
still.
"What's this p she said, in her
Scotch accent.
And he answered:
"a poor sailor, shipwrcckcd and
needing shelter"
Come iD," she said-;'come in
and warm ye. It's bitter night.
The candle led ye here, ma dou't.
It's burnt these twenty years. Ie

A SUNBEAM.-The greatest of physical
paradoxes IS the sunbeam. 1t is the most
potent and versatile force we have. and yet
it behaves itself ike the gentest and most
accommodating. Nothing can fall more
softly or more silently upon the earth than
the rays of our great luminary-not even
the feathery fakes of snow which thread
their way through the atmosphere as if
they were too 6lmy to yield to the demands
Of gravity ike grosser things. The most
delicate slip of gold leaf, exposed as tar
get to the suns shafts, IS not stirred to the
extent of d harr, though intauts faint
est breath would set It into tremulous mo
tioD. The tenderest of human organs-
the apple of the eye-though pierced and
buffetted each day by thousands ofsu
beams, suffers no pain during the process,
but rejoices IN their sweetness, and blesses
the useful light. Yet few of those rays,
lnsinuating themselves into mass of iron
ike the Britannia Tubular Bridge, will
compel the closely knit pa ales to sepa-
rate. and will move the whole enormous
fabric with as much ease as giant would
stir straw. The play of those beams
upon our sheets of water lifts up layer after
layer into the atmosphere, and hoists whole
rivers from their beds, only to drop them
again in SHOWS upon the hills or in fatten-
ing showers upon the plains. Let but the
air drink in little more sunshine at one
place than another and out of it springs
the tempest or the hurricane which desc
lates a whole region in its lunatic wrath.
The marvel is that power which is capable
of assuming such diversity of forms, and
of producing such stupendous results,
should come to US in so gentle, so peaceful,
and so unpretentious a guise.-British
Quarterly Rerielc,
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1870-10-26

How IT WAS DoNE.-The Detroit Post
tells good story as follows: a short
time since, while our reporter was visiting
a town IN the interior, he made the ac-
auaintance of well-to-do-farmer, who,
after making some inquiries in regard to
the growth and prosperity of Detroit, in
quired if there were any pickpOckets in
the city. The reply was Of course in the
affirmative. The farmer laughed quietly
a moment, and then said don't often
tell my first experience in seeing the lions
of your great city, but L am not as sensi-
tive over it now as | used to be, and I'll
tell you about it. Some years before my
father died, he went to New York city
on business, and while he was there he
bought himself gold watch. He wore it
as long as he lived, and when he died a
few years ago, he gave 1t to me. OF
course l was strongly attached to the
watch, and not little proud of it, espe-
cially when put it in my pocket upon
the occasion of my first visit to Detroit.
l haven't any doubt that | looked at it a
hundred times day, and you will not be
at all surprised when l tell you that l had
not been in the city two hours before it
was missing, chain and all.
| informed the clerk of the hotel where
l stopped of my loss, and as [ remembered
not of being jostled by any one, and could
give no clue to the thief, he said there
was no use in an officer. He advised me
to offer a large reward for the return of
the watch, and add that no questions
wonld be asked. put such an advertise
ment in the morning papers, and during
the day l received note informing me
/ that if would be at the corner Of B
and I-streets that evening at O'Clock
with the reward (S100) my watch would
be returned to me. The note also stated,
that l must come alone, and that If du'
ring the day [ made any attempt to In
form an officer, the writer would not meet
me,-that would be watched all the
time and the only way that l could recover
my watch was by doing precisely as
advertised. At seven o'clock was at
the spot indicated, and after waiting few
moments a well-dressed man, in passing
asked me the time of day. replied that
j il was seven O'Clock. At that he asked
me to walk along with him short dis
tance, and as we walked he inquired II L
had brought the 800. [ replied in the
affirmative, when he handed me my watch
received the money, and was about to
leave me, when I stopped him, and told
him l would give him $40 more to tell
me how he managed to pick my pocket.
oh said he placing his finger on hi;

but would show you if it wasn't for thai

4 MID VIEw-There are some ma
lures that never grow large enough to speak
out and say that bada is bad act, until
they inquire into the politics or nationali-
ty of the man that did it, and they are not
really scarce, either,-Cain is branded
murderer so heartily and unanimously in
America, only because he was neither
Democrat nor Republican. The Feejee
islanders abuse of Cain ceased suddenly
when the white man mentioned casually
that Cain was Feejee Islander. The
next remark of the savage. after an arkward
pause, was: Well, what did Abel come
fooling around there for.

\ COMPETENCY BETTER THAN ABUN-
DANCE.-I have not far to go to my house,
therefore l need not make much provision
for my way; food and raiment will be
sufficient for my journey-superfuity will
bnt prove burden. While Jacob had
only his staff, he went on freely in his way
but when he had his focks and herds, he
drove but slowly. We see it daily, that
rich men either lose their paths or ride
but little ground while poor men run the
way of Gods commandments. am well

more than will mend my pace, and serve
me in my journey.-Dicine Breathings

LIES JOURNEY.-Ten thousand human
beings set forth together on their journey.
After ten years, one third, at least have
disappeared. At the middle point of
the common measure of life but half are
still upon the road. Faster and faster, as
the ranks grow thinner, they that remain
till now become weary, and lie down, and
rise no more. At three score and ten a
band of some four hundred yet struggle
on. At ninety these have been reduced
to handful of thirty trembling patri-
archs. Year after year, they fall in dimin-
ishing numbers. One fingers, perhaps, a
lonely marvel till the century is over.
We look again and the work of death is
finished.
