Raising Winter Wheat.

Attention is invited to the advertisement of
Mr.. Irenus Brewer, In reference to the Buck
eye Drill as an implement for drilling wheat
in standing corn. There are doubtless other
good grain drills, but this seems to be the
only one now made exactly adapted to the
purpose IN hand. Winter wheat should be
sowed in Augusta time when the corn is
making ears and won't bear rough handling.
This implement drawn by one horse will
pass through the corn, do it's work effectually,
and not disturb stalk or root The wheat
thus drilled in, the corn can be husked in the
fall and the stalks allowed to stand until
spring, thus forming as perfect protection
to the wheat as bed of snow. In spring
the stock can be narrowed down and the
| wheat left free to grow for the reaper.
Farmers tell us that Of late years spring
wheat almost invariably fails on account Of
The ravages ofthe fly, the chintz bug, or rust.
Winter wheat usually comes forward too early
for these pests, but fails on account OF being
killed in the ground by our cold, dry winters.
Wheat plowed in in the usual way, comes up
on the ridges. In winter there comes a slight
thsw, then n hard freeze, raising the roots
nearly out of the ground, and then come our
cold, dry winds, lay the roots bare, and the
wheat is killed. An implement which places
the wheat IN hollows instead OF on ridges, and
in addition leaves such On effective protection
against the winds as is usually afforded by 4
aeld OF standing corn, would seem to be the
desideratum required to make the raising Of
winter wheat practicable and certain.
This is what Mr. Brewer claims is done by
the Buckeye Drill, and as the "proof of the
pudding is the eating thereof" he exhibits
| now fine 10-acrc field of winter wheat, sowed
last August on untavorable ground by this
drill, but which promises to be ripe by the 4th
Of July and to yield % or 80 bushels to the

Pleasant reunion NJ Champai.u.

The eighth annual session of the Illinois
Press Association convened at Champaign on
Tuesday, the 18th INST, at II AN. The
press of all quarters of the state was we'll rep
resented, there being present some seventy
five editors, most of whom were accompanied
by their wives. 1t was gratifying in the ex-
treme to meet SO many old familiar faces-and
some equally welcome new ones-assembled in
friendly meeting, and among the numerous
pleasant gatherings of the Association, the one
of 1872 will long retain cheerful nook IN the
memory of each participant.
The business proceedings were rapidly and
satisfactorily gone through. We announced
the names of the officers last week. One of
the most important Recommendations offered
was that specimens of Typography by the diff
ferent officers in the state should be presented
at the next annual meeting.
The twin cities of Champaign and Urbana
We'd with each other in rendering generous
hospitility to the assembled editors. We are
personally indebted for much kindness to Mr..
E. F. Gehlman, the builder of the large drill.
hall and contractor for the new buildings in
course of erection, of the State Industrial
University.
The Association spent a delightful after
noon at the "Rural House" of Mr.. L. Dunlap,
Esq, the talented correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune. The enjoyment here was
vastly enhanced by Miss Ella Dunlap, daugh-
ter of the host, who discourscd upon her ia
vorites, the bees, with all the iervor and learn
ing of an accomplished professor, to which
was added the irresistible charm of her
modest demeanor.
A visit to the State Industrial University
followed, but space torbids an extended des-
cription of the institution. There are at pres
ent 3SS students IN attendance, but, with the
facilities now in course Of completion 1000
will be accommodated. The Association is
deeply indebted to Prot. Baker tor iavors
gracicusly rendered.
Banquets, great in their magnificent hospl.
talty as we'll as in the richness of their VI
ands, were rendered by Urbana and Cham
pagn.
By invitation of the indianapolis Bloom
lngton and Western railroad. an excursion
was taken to Indianapolis, which, in spite of
the extreme heat, was characterized by that
fun, joli.y and rare good fellowship that is
never found outside gathering of editors.
This ended the session. Every one seemed
more than rewarded by joining in its proceed
ings. Pleasant acquaintance were made, old
ones knit more closely, and every one must
feel his sanctum-often dull enough-com-
pletely irradlated by the recollection of the
happy hours he spent with his co-laborers IN
1872.

Consider me Smith"

A good story is told of old Dr..
Caldwell, formerly of the university
of North Carolina.
The Doctor was q small man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as the
most irregular Of pine knots.
He looked as though he might be
tough, but he did not seem strong.
Nevertheless be was among the
knowing ones, reputed TO be agile "as
a cat !" and in addition, was no
means deficient in a knowledge of
the "manly art" Well, in the Fresh
men class OF certain year, was
burly beef mountaineer, of eighteen
or nineteen. This genius conceived
a great contempt for old Bolus's
physical dimensions, and his soul was
horrified that one SO deficient in
muscle should be SO potential in his
rule
Poor Jones-that's what we'll call
him-had no idea Of moral force. At
any rate, he was not inclined to
knock under and be controlled dee
politically by a man he imagined he
could tie or whip. At lesglh he de-
termined TO give the old gentleman a
genteel, private thrashing, some
night in the college campus, pretend.
ing to mistake him for some fellow
student.
Shortly after, on dark and rainy
night jones met the Doctor CROSSING
the campus. Walking up to him
abruptly:
"Hello, Smith you rascal-is this
you Z"
And with that he struck the old
gentleman blow on the side of the
face that nearly felled him.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squar
ed himself and at it they went.
Jones's youth, weight and muscle
made him an ugly customer" but
after round or two the Doctors
science began to tell, and in q short
time he bad knocked his antagonist
down, and was straddle of his chest,
with one hand on his throat, and the
other dealing vigorous cuffs on the
side of the head.
"Ah stop! | beg pardon, Doctor,
Doctor Caldwell-a mistake-for
heavens ke, as Doctor 7" be groaned.
u really thought it was Smith
The Doctor replied with a word
and blow alternately
ut makes no difference; for all
present purposes consider me Smith. !"
And it is said that old Bolus gave
Jones such pounding, then and
there, that be never made another
mistake as to personal identity.

Want to be Annexed.

The latest request for annexation"
to the United States comes from the
people OF the Samoan group, known
as Navigators' Island, in the Pacific
Ocean, the papers which have reach.
ed the Secretary of State at Washing
ton being signed officially by all the
chiefs and many foreign residents of
the islands. These are the only val.
liable islands in the Pacific Ocean not
absorbed by France. England, Ger
many or Russia. and the natives say
they are more favorable to the Unit.
ed States than any other country, be-
cause they believe the American re-
ligi0n is the same as theirs. The re-
quest would thus seem to be based
on high grounds, but there may be a
Job" in the scheme, for all that. as
in the case of San Domingo. The
island in question contains three
thousand six hundred square miles,
and q native population Of thirty
thousand. The people are copper
colored, and the productions are cot
ten, coffee, sugar-cane, dye woods,
and every description of tropical
fruits and plants. The Australian
mail steamers have selected the island
as port of call for coaling purposes,
and men have gone there to erect
buildings and construct wharves.
The natives are friendly and Christ
lanlzed. American missionaries have
been there twenty years.-.Spring-
