Two men ut the Centennial tx

There has been at no time, proba-
bly, in forty years, SO heavy a crop Of

been favorable for its development.

The Prairie Farmer says, If there
is any danger of wheat injuring from
wet or dampness in the bin, = few
stones or dry bricks scattered through
the grain will make it come out dry
and sweet. 1t can be easily tried,
and there is now much damp wheat in
stack and shock.

F. Miller in the Rural World, says
that Wilson, Green Prolific, Ken
lucky, Charles Downing and Seth
Boyden lose their charm in the pres
ence of Cumberland Triumph, Spring
dale, Monarch and Captain Jack
The latter he regards as the most
valuable, resembling Wilson, but
larger, handsomer, and better, and
long in fruit. These last named
sorts have sold at 25 or 80 cents per
quart, and much higher than Wilson.
These facts are well to bear in mind,
but further experience may vary the
story.
An address delivered before the
Massachusetts, State Board Of Agri-
culture holds to this theory: "lf a
valuable female is allowed to breed
to an inferior male, she cannot be
relied upon to produce pure bred an
imals for several succeeding preg-
nancies. Through strong and re-
tained impression, through the alb
sorption into the system of living
particles (germinal matter) from tho
fntus, or through some influence
during pregnancy on the ova, then
being most actively developed, the
good or bad features OF the first sire
are perpetuated in the progeny of
succeeding ones"
The Anes MtelHgencer of Aug Is
reports that "Dan Mccarthy, with
four fine Norman stations arrived
home Monday afternoon. His trip
from Europe was attended with no
accidents, mishaps or delays. He left
France July 10, and London July %.
His horses he purchased at Noryent-
LIE Retron. They are magnificent an
imals. Three of them are iron gray,
and one black. Their weight is from
1000 to 1900 pounds. One is FIVE,
two four, and one three years old.
The greater number of Normans i'm
ported to this country are taken from
among the work horses. These were
not, but were taken from the breed
ing stud, and chosen for the merits
they showed in that direction"
A variety of good stock is coming
