THE FARM AND GARDEN.
conducted by veteran Northwestern AgriculturIst
The Wheat Crop, or Seed Wheat.

The Wheat Crop, or Seed Wheat.
1t is claimed that the cause of the
shrlnkage in the. wheat crop in the
Northwest, for the year 1915, was SIM
ply because so much poor seed was
sowed last spring. For instance a good
deal OF the wheat used for seed was,
what is called sprouted wheat, and the
grain did not in consequence stool out ::
that is to say it did not send out sever
al stocks Of wheat from the seed, which
is the case when good seed is used.
Taking it for granted that the theo-
ry is correct, the remedy would have
been, to have sowed double or thrible
the quantity of seed to the acre, say
instead Of sowing bushel and a half
of seed to the acre, add double of that
quantity. Then probably the grain
would have been thick enough on the
ground.
But then the practice would have
been bad one, because of all other
varieties of grain, it is indispensable
that the quality of seed wheat should
be beyond all doubt. If poor quail
ity of seed is grown, it must be expect.
ed that poor crop of wheat will be
the result. It cannot be otherwise.
Wheat that has grown in the stack, or
in the shock or in the bin, never should
be used for seed. In addition to the
fact that it will not send forth only
one stalk, the straw will be frial full
of softness kind of u velvety appear
ance, without the proper nourishment
to mature the head which contains the
wheat.
The best way is to only grow num-
Der one article. Then the chances are
pretty sure of a good crop. Wheat
that has been heated should never be
used for seed. Not one kernel in fifty
will grow. Sprouted wheat will grow,
but as we have explained. it is of but
little account.

European horticulturists have lately
adopted a mode of making rose cut
tings root with more certainty, by
bending the shoots, and inserting both
ends into the ground, leaving a single
bud at the middle and on
the surface of the ground. The cut
tings are about ten inches long and are
bent over a stick laid fiat on the ground,
holes being dug on each side Of the
stick for the reception of the end of
shoot. The roots form only at the low.
er end of the shoot, but the other end
being buried, prevents evaporating and
drying up.

THE INDIANA GERMANS.

The fact cannot be denied that the Ger
mans of Indiana are thoroughly alive TO
the issues involved in their coming
state struggle. Edmund Jussen and
General Franz Sigel, supporters OF Til
den, arc now among them, and inspire
an uneXampled enthusiasm. At Indian
apolis. Oh the night OF the 18th, these dis
tinguiscd German visitors were escorted
to the opera house by procession num-
bering over 1900 people, uniformed and
bearing torches-on foot and horseback.
They made speeches that were received
with thunders OF applause by the throng
of Germans assembled, Jusscn leaving
the impression that in cloquencc and
logic he is the superior of Schurz.
Owing to the sudden change OF politi-
cal sentiment among the Germans, the
Republican managers secretly believe
that all is lost TO their party-not only
in Indiana, but in Ohio.
From indications in our midst, indie
pendent Of those from abroad. it is plainly
evident that the German mind has under
gone Il rapid and decisive change, and
that these noble citizens and lovers of
republican liberty desire an overthrow OF
the administration power. and are march
ing to the front all along the political
that distinguished the historic march OF
their kindred of the Fatherland to the
capital of France They do not march
with blood in their eyes, nor with gun
and bayonet in their hands, but carry
Democratic ballots, that will produce re-
suits far more wonderful and beneficial
than those brought about by appliances
of war.
This news from Indiana, telling Us
that the eloquent Jussen and the gallant
Sigel have been received with cheers of
enthusiasm by their fellow countrymen,
where Schurz was cOldly met, will
cause Democratic flags TO ilutter. and
Democratic torches to burn with renewed
brightness.
Ii was predicted years ago that when
the German vote changed it would be
like 4 vast tidal wave sweeping every
thing before il. The wave has COM
menced in Indiana and Ohio, and in No
yember will go on its purifying mission
all over the land, and assist in blighting
forever the Republican seeds of central
IZation Sown in the rich soil OF America.

why they selected the Northheld bank
TO rob in preference to others. His reply
was that they thought there was more
money to be had there-that In Mankato
there were three banks, aud the money
was too much divided. In st. Paul he
thought they wouldn't have got much.
