Narrowing wheat.

The uniform testimony of all those
who have tried narrowing wheat in the
spring is, that it pays. One subscriber
says: Il have acted upon the advice
given by you, and 1 find the result at
harvest most satisfactory. began the
custom by narrowing fifteen acres, or
about one-half the usual number ofacres
that SOW. My neighbors, who had
never seen it done, insisted that it would
kill it out. 1 shall continue the prac.
tice, as have now procured one of the
Thomas smoothing harrows, which, in a
great measure, enables me to dispense
with the roller, which 1 still use, how
ever, when the early spring is an unu-
sually dry one. l think by using the
harrow that the wheat tillers-that is,
stools-out better than when it is not
cultivated in the spring.
Another subscriber writes as follows:
81 find that narrowing the wheat in the
spring pays well. 1t gives the wheat a
good start, and the narrowed portion
ripens as early as the unharrowed part,
and has heavier seeds"
In narrowing wheat, care must be
taken that the soil is sufficiently dry, 10
that the harrow will pulverize it nicely.
In such cases, once narrowing is as ad-
vantageous to the wheat crop as one
good working of field of corn in the
early stages of its growth. Experience
and judgment must determine the pre-
else time when this work should be
done. 1t should not be done until the
heavy frosts in March are over, WHICH
will, however, depend much upon the
season. As many of the readers OF
the Rural World will be slow
to believe the foregoing statements, we
shall be pleased to have other subscrib-
ers give us the results of their expert
ence by postal cards, addressed to this
office, on the receipt of the paper con-
tanning this article. We shall also be
obliged if they will state the kind of
harrow they used.-Rural World.

Grafting.

There are many curious accounts
about vegetable life. We can. for ex-
ample, graft the apricot on the plum,
and the peach on the apricot, and the
almond on tie peach, and thus we may
produce a tree with plum roots and
almond leaves. The wood, however of
the stem will consist of four distinct
varieties. though formed from one con-
tinuOus layer. Below the almond wood
and bark we shall! have perfect peach
wood and bark, then perfect apricot
bark, and at the bottom perfect plum
wood and bark. In this curious instance
We see the intimate correspondence be-
tween the bark and leaf, for if We should
remove the almond branches we might
cause the several sorts of wood to de-
velop buds and leafy twigs, each of its
own kind. Each section of the COM
pound stem has its seat of life in the
layer, and the cambium of
each reproduces cells of its own species
out of common nutrient fluid.

Experimenting to Some Porpose

G. W. Lloyd, the architect desired
some fire proof brick the other day fol
the floor of new barn, but when he
learned the cost per thousand he deter
mined to experiment little with com.
mon brick. He procuredsa few hundred
and had them delivered on a vacant LOT
on Micigan Avenue, between Third and
Fourth Streets. where placed in large
vat, such as the PAYERS use to heat their
tar, and allowed to absorb the hot tar
for four hours. Ia that length of time
the bricks were a the tar itself. and
soaked full of it, and when allowed to
cool off it was found that their solidity
had been greatly increased. A reporter
of the Free Press struck one of the
bricks eight or ten hard blows before he
could even break a piece Ell, and to
strike one with hammer is1ike striking
a rock. Subjected to the same tests as
the regular fre-proof brick, the tar-soak-
ed brick came out finely. To determine
their fire proof qualities, q number of
the brick were passed into the blazing
furnace; after a severe test they came
out without q flaw or crack; in fact
they were stronger and tougher for the
baking, and it was almost impas-
slble to break one. Mr.. LLOYD will use
the brick thus prepared for the. stables.
and will then if the council grants per.
mission, lay enough eff them at -ome

The house has settled the third term
humbug by vote of 232 to Is. An
Ohio democrat, Mr.. Springler, on the
18th, offered resolution that IN the
opinion of the house the precedent es-
tablished by Washington and other pres
idents of the United States in retiring
from the presidential Office after their
second term. has become by universal
concurrence part of our republican
system of government, and that any de-
parture from this time-honored custom
would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught
with peril to our free institutions, and
it was adopted by the above vote. Col.
Joyce voted for the resolution, Mr.. Den
ison against it and Mr.. Hendee was, as
usual, absent or not voting. Mr.. Blaine
did not vote on the question for obvious
reasons. but of course he is in favor of it.
This third term issue is the biggest po-
iitIcal fraud ever perpetrated in the
country. We do not believe it ever had
foundation enough to live week if left
alone by willy party men who are ever
ready to hold up any bugbear, no mat
ter how silly. if thereby their opponent,
may be demoralized- Grant, or any 9th,

We have been looking over the New
England papers, for some time past, and
conclude there is less suffering from the
want of labor, than during either of the
two winters past. Business, though not
equal to that done previous to the fail
ures in rs, is, on the whole, about all
that healthy state of affairs demands
In many places the factories are very
busy. The low price of manufactured
goods has compelled a reduction in the
price of labor, but there is nearly q cor
responding reduction in the price of
rent, food, clothing and other things the
laborer is compelled to buy.

The UNEMPLoYED.-In speaking of
this matter, the Boston Neacs says
1.-THE streets of our cities and towns are
Overrun with strong. well men, hunting
for work. book keeping, clerking, writ
ing, anything which is fashionable for a
man to do. They are willing to measure
tape, sell thread, part their hair in the
middle, or do anything that COMFORTS
with the dignity of gentleman. The
market is glutted with such stuff, while
the supply of nervy, self-pOised, brave
men is limited, and the demand is con-
slant. There Is chance for them any,
where. There are hundreds of farms
uncultivated and farm-houses unoccu-
pied where a man can win more of CON-
fort and peace than IN the artificial, fe.
verish life Of the town. If our unem.
ployed friends would once get the no.
