OATS AND WHEAT ToGEruER.-
Mr.. Samuel King, of Fountain Prairie
says the Columbus, Wis, Democrat,
gives us his experience in sowing oats
AID wheat together in equal parts, He
finds that the wheat does not hurt the
oats, or vios versa. Ills yield this year
was thirty bushels to the acre, about
half aid ha;f OF the two kinds Of grain
The whos: was ordinary Rio Grande,
bu: i: is as plump and heavy as Club.
and has not the usual dark reddish
tingo, but shows clear and white like a
Winter variety. There were no bugs
or worms in this field, while sixty rods
away wheat sowed in the ordinary
mode was literally eaten up with the
chinch bug. It is moreover fact as
yet unsatisfactory accounted for, th,t
whereas oats when sowed separately
invariably ripen before wheat, the crop
when the seed is mixed, ripeus uni.
formly. The straw Of this half aud
half growth is about as good as marsh
hay, and cattle have been observed to
leave even the good pasture Of this
season to feed of this straw by the
hour. Mr.. King sums up his expert
cncc in sowing half wheat and half
oats, by saying that he considers that
process As good as an insurance against
bugs and worms, and that he improves
the value of wheat ten cents per bush.
Ell, and that he will never hereafter
SOW in any other manner.

locomotion, and bis wonderful mech.n.

1T was General Siblsy, the old In

Democrat, "who proposed to subdue
the Indians by taking their younges:
warriors and making soldiers of them
for the purpose Of guarding tho from.
tier. He had often tried them in such
service, and testified that they had
never proven faithless, any little badge
Of distinction riveting them to tho
cause Of the government. This plan
was proposed several years ago, and as
50 manysothers have since been tried
without entirely satisfactory results, it
might be sensible thing to give it =
test now" General Sibley's PROPOSE
tion was in the right direction, at
least, for 1t was to give employment to
the young aud usually most trouble
some Indians, and an employment best
suited to their inclipations and habits
This plan. further, would aid to break
up the tribal organisations and learn
the Indians to hold allegiance to the
United States and to desire the priv.

DEPTH OF THE GREAT LAKES
There is mystery about the Ameri.
can lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty or
seventy feet deep; but Lake Ontario.
which is 500 feet deep, is 23o fees
deep below the tide level Of the ocean
or as low as most parts Of the Gulf Of
St. Lawrence and at the bottom Of
Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior
although the surface is much niger.
are all from their vast depth on level
with tie bottom Of Ontario; now a.
the Detroit River. after allowing all
the probable portion carried off by
evaporation, does not appear by any
means equal to the quantity of water
which the three upper lakes receive, it
has been conjectured that a sub,erra.
mean river may run from Lake Superb
or. by the Huron, to Lake Ontario.
This conjecture is not impossible, and
accounts for the singular fact that her.
riag aud salmon are caught in a'l the
lakes communicating with the St.
Lawrence, but no others As the Falls
Of Niagra must have always existed il
would puzzle the naturalist to say how
these fish got into tho upper lake with
out some subterraneum river besides,
any periodical examinations Of the riv-
er would furnish a not improbable So
luton Of the mysteries fux and reaux
of the lakes.

Corn AS A FooD FOR HORSES
Mr. Church, the general manager Of
the London omnibus company, before
a select committee Of the House Of
Commons, spoke very highly OF Indian
corn IS food for work horses. The
com pany fud it so much cheaper than
oats that they have discarded them.
He says: These animals are fed en-
tire'y on maize and chat, each horse
receiving as bis daily ration about
seventeen pouads Of the former aud
ten Of the latter. The maize is just
broken sufficiently to enable the hor-
ses to eat it without difficulty, and they
thrive better on this fodder than they
ever did upon oats. On the ground Of
economy, also, maize is preferable to
oats as for forage, its price being much
lever aud the saving effected being 3s.
or Is a quarter. These facts, Mr..
Church went on to observe, have long
been known to many owners Of horees,
but gentlemen with private stables find
great difficulty in substituting bruised
maize and chaf for the old-fashic ned
forage of oats and trusses Of hay.
Coachmen and grain dealers resoluteIy
oppose the innovation, for the reasoo
that it enables the owners Of horses to
exercise a control over supplies for
their stables, and prevent waste and
fraud.

Wendell Philips, having said that,
in times Of panic, the Government Of
Great Britain authorized the Bank of
England to suspend specie payment,
Carl Schurz replies as follows.
1.-THE infationists are also fond Of
telling US that such jpanics lead some
times to suspension Of specie pay
ments by the banks. This is true as
TO this country, but when Mr.. Phil.
ipps informs US that again and again
in specie-basis English history the
permission given by the Government
to the bank to suspend specie pay
ments has been the salvation Of the
business community, he glarinsly be-
trays the greatest ignorance of 6oancia
history, or q deplorable disregard Of
the truth. In charity, We must &C.
cept the former. Every well-informed
man knows that, since the resumption
OF specie payments in 1851, specie
payments have never been suspended
uga'n in England. Mr.. Phillips, in
his evidently somewhat careless read
ing iouad that now aad then in times
OF panic something was suspended, AMI
he jumped at the conclusion thtt it
was specie payments. 1t is, perhaps,
we'll to inform him that, instead Of the
Of specie payments, it was
the suspension OF the Bank act Of
1874, authorizing the Bank Of Eng.
land to issue notes beyond the amount
Of specie reserve prescribed by law.
That permission has been given several
times, but specie payments steadily
continued all the while. It is urgently
to Mr.. Phillips to COM
mence his historical reading at the
beginning.

GATHER THE TREE SEEos.-Ws
hope our prairie farmers will Al! try to
secure at least fow tree seeds this
fall. October is tho tune. Hard ma.
pie, box elder, oaks Of all kinds, coffee
tree, linden or bass wood, ash Of all
kinds, blackberry, and few others,
may be gathered during this month.
Butternuts seem to be all gone in this
part Of the State. Acorns, too, are
fast disappearing, as they are devoursd
by squirrels aud birds Mountain ash
and thorns have to lay in the grouad
two years before they will grow.
Our readers who are remote from
timber can obtain seeds Of those who
live in the woods, or make . journey
themselves for the purpose. A little
means expended in seeds, in a few
years will yield a thousand fold if prop
erly handled. Farmers can raise their
own trees much cheaper than they can
be had from the uurserymen. We
therefore throw out these hints to save
our farmers what money VIC can, though
We, as we'll as other tree meu, like to
sell young stock even at low figure,
for cash or wheat,-L. NJ. Ford IN

SHEEP ON A FARM.-Sheep are un-
dervalued by the mass of laudholders
.s a means Of keeping up the fertility
Of the soil aud putting money iato the
pockets of the farmers. The moment
one begins to talk Of sheep husbandry,
the listener or reader begins to look for
wool quotations alone when there is
talk about the profits Of farming.
Sheep on q farm yield both wool and
mutton. They multiply with great
rapidity. They are the best Of farm
scavongers, "cleaning a field" as no
other class Of anima,s will. They give
back to the t:rm more in proportion to
what they take from it than any other
animal, and distribute it better with =
view to future fertility Of the soil.
Prove this? There is no need Of
proof to those Who have kept sheep,
and know their habits and the profits
they yield. To prove it to those who
have not had the experience, it is nee.
essary they should try the experiment
or accept the testimony Of au expert
enced shepherd,-CNew York Herald.

Don't Glut the Market.

The present indications are that a
large portion Of the farmers are mar
keting their wheat early this season.
As consequence the markets Of the
country will, before the close of the
year, have in elevator and warehouse
large quantities Of grain IN store. much
more than Is required for the present
consumption of mills and to ELL export
orders.
The quality of the wheat crop in
Europe is poor. In all the northern
and central States, of this country, ex.
cept Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and parts Of Michigan, the grade is
low aud much of the grain damaged,
There appears to be a disposition on
the part OF farmers, in all sections of
the country, to crowd the crop On the
market and get it off their hands, If
this policy is pursued prices will yield
to the pressure Of large receip and
producers will lose the benefits of a
shor. crop and al the profits will &C.
cruz to the speculator or dealer who
holds the graiu il store. Another
effect Of crowding SO much low grade
grain on the market is to depress pri-
css for the better qualities, as they
sympathize more or less with the lower
If farmers would look at their own in.
terests, and We think at the interest of
the country. they would not market
their whole crop at once. If money
for current, expenses, is needed sell a
portion Of your crop and hold the BAL
lance for winter and spring sales. 1t is
better for the whole community that if
the consumer must pay . high price
for his bread stuff, that the money
should be distributed among the pro.
ducers than sumed in expensive stor.
age and insurance, and go into the
pockets of spectators, BY all past
experience We are taught that wheat
will command higher prices than are
now current before another harvest,
and We would like 70 s.e the farmer
recoivs the benefit Of it.-Farmer's

The LARGE CALIFORNIA FLEECE-
It will be remembered that fleece OF
wool, from a French Mcrino ram, was
forwarded to Chicago frou California
some months since, which weighed 5l3
pounds if VIC remember Alright. This
fleece was secured under the direction
of competent committee and at the
recent State Fair it was reported that
the secured fleece weighed about II
pounds, of which the comuittee
Thought two pounds were burs, thus
leaving about ten pounds Of wool.
While this is a great shrinkage, it still
leaves q very large fleece of wool.

which the pavements in many parts Of

A New SUBSTITUTE FOR TANNING

A New SUBSTITUTE FOR TANNING
Barh.-A writer iu tho Gtrbe Demo-
crat speaks ola plant of the smart
weed family which grows proiusely in
Missouri which he says surpasses BARI
in its tanning proprietics. 1t is said
that tits plant yields at least ten per
cent of taonic scid-an analysis by the
Nebraska State chemist gives nearly
% per cent from the root and II to 10
per cent from the plant-hemlock aud
oak bark yielding from IL to l3 per
cent. The correspondent says that
actual experiment has shown: that
leather Of better quality than bark.
tanned leather can be made with this
weed in fifteen days less time ; and
that one ton of the plant will tan 400
pounds Of leather, while the same
weight Of bark will produce but l75
pounds.
