Thin Seeding Better Than Thick
Seeding.

Experiments in sowing wheat show
that in plots where one bushel to the
&C re is sown the proportionate yield is
greater than on fields where two bush
els are sown. 1t is estimated there are
from 100000 to 100000 grains in q
bushel Of wheat-say 100000. There
are 6,273,64O square inches in an acre.
Using one bushel per acre there would
be about one seed to each nine and one
third square inches. Suppose each
plant to tiller nine or ten fold land it
most certainly will, under halfway
favorable conditions), it gives one stalk
or head to the square inch, which is
many more than can mature under the
most favorable circumstances. 1T is,
therefore, plain that one bushel of good
seed per acre is a supe abundance. In
sowing two we waste one, even though it
does not decrease the yield.

The Canadian Thistle at Home.

The Toronto Mail says During re-
cent ride through one of our best agri-
cultural districts, we were astonished
and grieved to see how many fine farms
were thoroughly seeded down to the
Canada thistle. We passed field after
field of oats, peas and wheat, from one
quarter to one third of which were
thistles gone to seed. The air was full
of thistle,downs, which were being
waited by the zephyrs and breezes here,
there and everywhere. TO crown all,
hogs were industriously roofing up the
highway sides, and making seed beds
for the thistles. The evil is so wide,
spread that it is too large work for
legislation to accomplish now. Had we
begun earlier, legislation might have
done something for us. Prevention is
not only better than cure, but it is

Testing Manuscript.

All great publishers have several reg
ular readers, besides others, eminent in
their various professions, whom they
several specialties. Their function is to
give full consideration to, and the best
advice upon, all matters submitted to
them. For this they receive salary;
and it would be considered on both
sides breach of trust if they accept
any compensation whatever from the
author for their work. In fact, unless
there are special reasons to the contra
ry, the conscientious "reader prefers
never to see the author in relation to
the book while the question is pend
ing" When he has read the manu-
script he writes an opinion which he
returns to the firm, sometimes expressed
in few words, sometimes in an elab-
crate analysis and criticism. But in
any case he never recommends book
except after careful consideration.
These opinions are carefully copied into
II book, and prepared for reference. If
the first readers verdict is favorable, the
manuscript is then sent to another
reader, who knows nothing of what his
predecessor has said. Usually, and in
all cases of any possible doubt, the work
is sent to third reader. With three
opinions by three differ ent persons the
firm consider they have materials sutfi-
cient for decision in the case.

the certificate of three respectable
physicians of New York city to the
effect that he had become insane, and
armed with this document, our hero, in
charge OF an utter stranger named
Townsend, applies and is admitted to
the asylum as non cOmp0S mentiS. Not,
outstanding the fact that the officers
of that asylum have declared repeatedly
that it would be impossible for a person
OF sane mind to gain admission to that
institution as Il patient, he remains,
and is treated for lunacy for two weeks,
during which time he is slyly takin'
notes, and faith he'll print 'em." At
the end of the period above mentioned,
the Tribune authorities, thinking intor
nation enough had been gained, APP.
piled for a writ of habeas corpus in
order to secure his release. Thereupon
the managers of the asylum, fearing a
thorough investigation would result if
this proceeding were allowed to take its
own course, posted Off to the Tribune
office. and induced them to sign papers
for the discharge of Chambers, when
our sham lunatic was set at liberty.

The English Agricultural LabOrers,

According to its report there are now
l3O,OOO members enrolled in the Agri.
cultural Laborers' Union in England.
There are few counties in which it has
not obtained a foot-hold. After paying
all expenses, and sending delegates to
carry on the agitation in every direc-
ton, there is a balance of f2,50Oin the
treasury. The result of the general
agitation has been that wages have risen
AT least shilling week over the coun-
Try, and i'll many cases four shillings
forty dollars is now paid for the harvest
month, where twenty-five was paid
formerly. 1t is expected that sixteen
shllllngs, instead of ten, will be the
general rule next summer. The dark
SIDE OF the movement is the bitterness
IT has engendered. The farmers have
fought 1T to the last, the landlords stand

OF Marlborough, has written letter of

IN which he lays down the rule that a

hereafter be vacated whenever the la

PerilOuS P0IiteneSS.

The following Is an extract from some
rccollections of Washington Irving in
the Home Jou1nal:
" was nearly killed by an Indian
once said Irving one evening. When
! was young man | was travelling in
Canada with a friend. There were
more Indians there then than there are
white men now. One raw, chilly day
we were rowing in n canoe on the st.
Lawrence, with an Indian for guide.
AS we neared the spot where Ogdens-
burg now stands, he invited US to his
Wlgwam to get something to eat. Sc
curing the canoe to the shore, we fol
lowed him a short distance to his hut,
where we found his squaw busily cook
ing venlson. Our guide motIoned us to
seat by the fire, and thea proceeded
to bring large quantity of whisky.
My friend watched him closely; but |
talked to his wife, who at first gave me
short answers, glancing at her lord and
master to see if he listened, which he
seemed not to do; then she talked
more freely. The squaw was very ugly,
having the overburdened look that YOU
see among Indian women: so, from
hall pity, as she took the large haunch
from the fire, | rose to assist her. At
the same moment her jealous husband
RAISED large club, striking me on the
head blow that made me fall insensi-
BILE at his feet. AS he was about to re-
peat the blow, my friend caught me in
his arms, and, rushing from the wig
wan, deposited me in the canoe, and
was taking me rapidly down the stream
hatOpn hn1f
reached tin shore. | soon recovered
my senses, but never was polite to q
squaw again.
Some Symptoms.
The symptoms of maidenly celibacy
are various, but may generally be de-
tected as follows:
When woman begins to drink her
tea without sugar, or read love stories
abed, or gives a sigh on hearing of a
wedding, or begins to say that she has
refused many an offer, or begins to find
fault with her looking glass, and say it
doesn't show her features right, or be-
gins talking about cold drafts and stops
up the crevices in the doors and win.
dows, or begins to say what a dreadful
set OF creatures men are, and that she
wouldn't be bothered with one for the
world, or begins to change her shoes
every time she comes into the house
after walk, or begins to have little
dog trottlng after her, or begins to have
cat at her elbow at meal time. and
gives 1t sweetened milk, or begins to
say that servant has no business to
nave sweetheart, or begins to go to
bed with her stockings and flannel
night cap on-that's symptom; and
when she begins to put her fingers be.
fore her mouth when talking to anyone,
for fear they should see she's losing her
teeth-that's symptom, and bad one,
and the case needs immediate attention
from somebody.
