Preparation and Sowing cf Wheat.

The experience of the past year for a
large portion of Mississippi, has complete
ly exploded the theory that wheat is too
uncertain crop 10 grow in this State,
and that it does not pay to raise it. The
wheat harvest of Ills year was the largest
ever grown in Mississippi, and wherever
pains were taken in the preparation of
the land and the land was seeded soon
enough, say by the 18th of October, the
yield WAS large and most rcmunerative.
The land intended for wheat should be
thoroughly and closely ploughed and we'll
pulverized, forming fine and firm seed
bed. Where the land is not naturally
rich enough scatter cotton seed at the rate
of forty or fifty bushels to the acre and
harrow them in with the wheat. This
plan is almost certain to bring good
crop.
The seed should be carefully selected
and thoroughly sifted and cleaned. If
the wheat hes been affected with Smut"
it should he stepped in solution of blue
stone for ten or twelve hours before plant
ing. Or another plan we have used with
great success against smut and rust, Is to
make strong brine of salt and water,
strong enough to float an egg soak the
wheat for twenty-four hours in this brine,
taking care to skim off all the defective
grains and trash that rise to the top. To
dry the wheat so it can be handled, sprin-
kle it with quick-lme. We have used
this method for years, and have never
known it to fail.
We also recommend the sowing of seed
grown in a different soil and climate, in'
stead of that raised at home. We are
satisfied that this method improves the
quantity and quality ofthe yield of wheat,
and we are strongly inclined to believe
that the wheat will not rust as readilyi
such at least has been the experience of
many skilful farmers with whom ehave
conversed on the subject. Up to this
time, the Red May wheat has proven the
most reliable variety to SOW in our soil
and climate; other varieties that have
been tried this year, have generally failed
or have given such poor results as to be
rejected.
Every farmer who contemplates sowing
wheat this fall, should thoroughly pre-.
pare his land ami SOW it, from the 2Oth OF
September to Doth of October and never
later, if he expects his crop to escape the
rust Also, SOW the the red rust-proof
oats early in the fall if you expect good
crops..-Fmmer's Iindicator.

ABOUT A MONEY! was making
a cake one day preparing for company,
and the monkey followed me into the
pantry and watched everything did.
Unfortunately dinner was announced in
the midst of my work, and left it, ma
king him get out rather against his will.
I knew him too we'll to trust him in the
pantry alone. After dinner returned to
my cookery. Having carefully locked
the door, was surprised to see my pet
there before ME. His attitude was omin-
Gus he was on the topof the barrel two
thirds full of flour and busily occupied.
He had got hold of my egg-box, broken
two or three dozen, smashing them in the
flour barrel with all the sugar within
reach. These he was vigorously beating
into the -four, shells and all, STOPPING
now and then to take taste witha coun-
tcnancc as grave as a judges. In my
dismay and grief did not scold him.
Yet to see materials so used up, and we
living in the country, and guests coming!
He had most satisfied air, as if he
meant: "Look the main operations OF
the pantry are now over" l had forgot
ten the broken pane of glass in the win
dow.

should have added lucerne to the hay
crops spoken of above. About four years
ago, prepared about half an acre of rich
land, that had been heavily manured the
year before and planted in cotton, to pre-.
pare for the luccrne; the land was well
prepared in the spring, | think in March,
and the seed sown in drills eighteen inch
es apart; it soon came up and grew off
rapidly, and the second year we cut i've
crops of hay, which I did not weigh, but
believe it yielded at least two tons to the
acre at each cutting; just think of ten
acres in such crop, and how many sheep
it would feed; but the land must be made
very rich to yield such crops.-Rural

Too MANY NEwsPAPERs.-BishoI

Too MANY NEwsPAPERs.-Bishop
Clarke writes as follows to the New York
Ledger:
Periodicals arc good thing, but We
have too many of them. | do not mean
that too many copies of the better class
are circulated but simply that there is a
larger number of newspapers published
than is needed, and that there are too
many magazines of various sorts seeking
for patronage. Every religious denomi-
nation must have its own organ, as a
matter of course; every shades of doc
trinc in each denomination also has its
mouth-piece; and then comes the rivalry
of various localities, trying to establish
| papcrs of their own. In some of our
cities there are half dozen dailics, rep
rcsenting the same political party, all
printing the same news, and to some ex-
| tent filled with the same advertisements.
In other departments we have quartcrlics,
monthli es and weeklics without number,
of every gr adc of merit, and some with
out merit at all.
1t is said that eight millions of dollars
have been sunk during the past year in
the periodical and newspaper business
many publications have become extinct,
and as many more are struggling to slls-
| tain precarious existence. There Is Il
constant process of absorption going on
-one periodical swallowing another,
sometimes combining the various editors
and contributors, and sometimes not.
The most pertinacious canvassing, the
most extensive advertising, the most in
hated putting, the most liberal discounts,
the distribution of chromos and cheap
sewing-machincs, and various other un-
saleable articles rs premiums, fail to III
sure list Of subscribers that is remu-
nerative-partly because the market is
gluttcd, and partly because the pcriodl-
cal fails to meet the wants and crafty
the taste of the community. The unfor-
tunatc editor can afford to pay little or
nothing to his contributors, as he him
self has to write with grim poverty star
ing him in the face, and poor pay gcncr-
ally means poor work. How much bet
ter it would be to concentrate strength
upon Il few able and wcll-rcmuncratcd
periodicals.
The newspapers would save Il large
amount of money that is now expended
in paying for the same news and dis
patchcs-advcr.scrs would be able tC
reach y wide; circle of rcaders,-many
vexatious quarrels that grow out of the
petty rivalry of editors would he ended
and in place of the weary platitudcs that
now cucumber the columns of our peri
odicaIs we might always have the fresh
est and best thoughts of the ablcst minds
and most vigorous writers in the land.

ABOUT CoRN.-A writer in the West
ern Rural says: "An intelligent and re-
liable neighbor of ours, who has for years
been making experiments with corn, has
discovered an Importance and value in
rcplanting corn which is quite novel and
worthy of publication. We have always
thought replanted corn was Of very little
consequence; but this gentleman says 1t
is of so much consequence that he re-
plants whether it is needed or not; or,
rather, he plants, two or three weeks after
the crop is planted, Il hill every fifteenth
row, each way. lie says: II the weather
becomes dry during the filling time, the
silks and tasscls both become dry and
dead. In this condition, if it becomes
scasonable, the silk reviycs and rcncws
its growth, but the tassels do not recover.
Then, for want of pollen, the new silk is
unable to fill the office for which it was
designed. The pollen from the rcplante'l
corn is then read y to supply the silk, and
the FILLING is completed. lie says ncarI,y y
ali the abortiyc ears, SO common IN all
crops, are caused by the want of pollen,
and he has known cars to double their
size in this second filling.

The war between the rival papers at
Bowling Green promises to become very
interesting. The managers of the Sentinel
refused to be used as cnts-paws for a
certain Ring of sharpers in that village,
and the News was started, with the nvowed
purpose of running out !" the Sentinel as
the friends OF the new paper say. But
thus far the Sentinel has had the best OF it.
The Netcs is sPirty, superficial, in fact shall
low, relying upon "puffs" and personal re-
Aections to accomplish what more sensible
persons would bring about through the use
Of facts and arguments. The Sentinel is
more dignifed and displays more ability
in the discussion OF public questions The
4Ners started off with a great flourish Of
trumpets, but it was nothing more than
bubble-the mere escape of long pcnt mp
gas and self-constitutod greatness. Al
ready it is running thin," and the .Senti-
nd will undoubtedly survive and prosper
all the more in consequence OF this oppo-
sition. The proprictors OF the Neps evi-
IDENTIFY begin to realize their mistake in es-
timnting their popularity and journalistic
ability, and doubtless already wish they
had " let out the contract" for crushing
out" the Sentinel since their paper drags
heavily and it is only with the greatest
difficulty that it can I've crowded upon even
limited number Of persons. The little
Ring Of sharpers have stirred upa hornets
neat and there will be some awful scream

The Two Rnllrnnhs

i q
This week engineers left Columbus for a
final location of the Columbus g. Toledo
Rad and to prepare for letting contracts
for grading the Road at the earliest posi-
BILE period. President GREENE announces
that there shall be no delay in construct
Ing this important thoroughfare, which
opens up fine market for the Hooking
Valley coal and affords extensive oppor-
tunities for Toledo merchants to increase
their trade.
There are a large number Of men at work
on the Atlantic & Lake Erie Road south
OF the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Columbus
Road and the prospects are favorable for
the renewal Of work at this end of the line.
The contractors have special interest in
completing the work at the earliest posi-
BILE moment and they have seriously con-
templated making an effort to iron it from
the coal fields to Toledo this year.
Thus, it will be seen, two Roads are now
in actual process of construction, both of
which will pass entirely across our county,
touching Perry, Montgomery, Freedom,
Troy, Ross and Lake townships; opening
up convenient market-places at West
Mill Grove, Prairie Depot, Pemberville
and other points along the lines of the
Roads. They will both be in full opera
ton by next year and the tier of townships
through which they pass will experience a
new life from this source of prosperity. We
sincerely congratulate the people of the
townships named on their good fortune in
thus obtaining such important railroad ad-
vantages for direct communication with
the outer world.

Tho Work Of The ConyentIm.

In the admirable character Of tic Re-
publican Convention assembled ut tolum-
bus, last week; in the enthusiasn with
which its work was hailed, and in the
unanimous burying of personal tifIerCn-
ces which followed the result, then lies
glorious promise for tlSA success of ,hep
~ in the coming fight. 1t was the common
expression from all sides and all sctinns,
thJt since the fever days OF 1868, Ohio Ind
never turned out q political convention Of
so strong and excellent material. They
were the representative mon Of the party
the picked men of the city, village and
country, and they were filled as unit
with glowing confidence in the success
| OF their cause.
The name chosen to head the ticket, It
is conceded by all, would have been the
unquestionable choice OF the entire State
from the start had it's usa been permitted.
But that n convention of such high char
acter should force the nomination upon
Governor Hayes, in face Of his persistent
declination and against his express desire,
is an element of increased strength that
can hardly be exaggerated. For a party
thus to crowd honors upon a man against
| his private wish--thus to insist that he. OF
all others, is the one to lead them to victo-
ry--is not only magnificent tribute 10 his
| worth, but it carries us back to the golden
days Of the Republic when the office sought
the best man, instead Of the man seeking
the best office. 1t is hardly necessary TO
dwell upon the enthusiasm with which the
nomination was greeted.-Cm. Times.
