notice the special characteristics of two or
three of the principal varieties mentioned
above. The Nursery red, as we have stated,
is much grown in the south of England and
its fine baking qualities make it favorite in
France. The grain is small, the straw very
tall in soil adapted for it, and likewise stiff,
This wheat, from the small size of the grain,
should be sown thin. Lammas red has long
been favorite variety in East Lothian. 1t
is a tall, stifi-straWed variety, producing a
large weight of straw per acre The grain
produces fine flour, much esteemed by bakers
The Fenton is a white variety of wheat, and
has long held a pre-eminent position in the
opinion Of East Lothian wheat growers.
The peculiarly, of the Fenton wheat is the
great dissimilarity in the length of the straw
A sheaf of this grain is cared down to the
band. The straw is very stiff, and will stand
much adverse weather.

Offer good facilities for at least partial prepa-
ration for this work.
Whether or not it is a thing to be glad
over, it seems very probable that there will
be an increasing number of large estates
owned by gentlemen of wealth, who have
not the time, the inclination, or the practical
knowledge to enable them to personally di-
rect the agricultural operations. Such men
would be gladto employ young men of good
education and business ability, as well as
possessing q practical knowledge of farm
ing, to take charge of their farms, and would
be willing to pay literally for their services.
There will also be an increasing demand,
we think, for what may be called farm en-
gneering for draining or irrigating large
tracts, and for the work not very properly
called landscape gardening, and for this
work our agricultural colleges ought to well
fit those of their students who care to espec-
tally direct their attention to the studies nee
essary.
In these and some other ways there are
opportunities for useful and profitable work
for graduates of agricultural colleges, aside
from those who choose to engage directly in
farming. And even those who choose to
engage in some business not at all directly
connected with agriculture can still do good
work by giving their influence in favor of
all those things which tend to improve ag-
riculture and the farming class. This coun-
try, especially the west, is mainly an agri-
cultural one, and it is important, not only
that those who till the soil should be intel
ligent, we'll informed and skillful but that
many others. especially of those called on to
frame laws, should have good knowledge
of the art and science, and marked respect
for it. It surely will not be a cause of regret
if the western village doctor, lawyer, mer-
chant and school-teacher of the future, many
Of whom will have come from the farms
shall have also obtained their general educa
tain at good agricultural college Westea7

WHEAT GROWN IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The Irish Farmers Gazette gives the fol-
lowing particulars about the varieties of
wheat now grown in England and Scotland
The fine varieties of wheat, such as Child
dam, Talayera, or Pearl, are delicate grow
ers, and yield least produce, although from
their quality the grain of these wheats brings
high price. It is the farmers interest to
realize most money per acre, and he will
better attain this by growing red wheats.
OF these there are Kessingland Hallet's,
Browick's and the Prolific Spalding, all be-
longing to the same class, and very large
croppers; but the true Lammas red and
Nursery red are by many considered prefer
able, the latter being particularly saleable
wheat, and by all judges considered equal to
the finest white wheat for the baker.
In the best wheat growing districts of the
south of England, a mixture Of Lammas
and Nursery is much grown. The straws
being of different lengths, the ears have
more room, and give the mixture the char
acter Of Fenton wheat, which is perhaps the
most prolific and profitable white variety in
cultivation. We may here observe in regard
to sowing mixtures of wheat, that produce
Of the first mixture may assume quite diff
ferent character if grown again. The two
varieties may llybridize and produce a new
variety in partial st;lte of development. II
mixtures are sown, il is safer to mix varie-
ties which have been grown separate.
Wheat growers in East Lothian usually
get q change of seed wheat from England
every year. The extra cost is more than
balanced by thinner sowing. to say nothing
of the superiority of the crop, which is in
variably better after English seed, and it has
this further advantage, that the crop grown
from English seed rpens at least a week
earlier, which is of importance in the case OF
wheat soWn late i'm the winter months.
Before concluding these remarks, we shall

WORK FOE THE GRADUATES OF AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGES.

The greatest want of agricultural colleges
Is students who really want to study agricul-
trlre. There are other wants and needs, but
this is the greatest The complaint is often
made that the very large majority of the
students Of agricultural colleges engage in
other callings than farming. This is not
necessarily to be counted as showing fault
on the part Of either the college or the STU
dent. If the graduate of an agricultural
college be poor, and most of them are, it is
not surprising that he should choose teach
ing or some other work, rather than work
ing as farm laborer or renting farm. Or
dinarily, he can make more money for a
time in some other work than he could by
going on a farm.
We should be very glad to see many stu
dents in our agricultural colleges preparing
themselves to be practical farmers on their
own or their fathers farms. In the course
of years they would doubtless find their ed
ucation very valuable to them, abundantly
repaying its cost. For those, however, who
do not think it advisable or feasible to make
practical farming their work. let us suggest
some lines of work, in preparation for which
good knowledge of agriculture and the
sciences most directly bearing on it would
be very important help. First, then, there
Is a demand for thoroughly educated and
competent teachers Of agriculture. This de-
mand is not large but it is a good one. The
available supply Of first-class teachers Of
agriculture in this country is very SMALL and
to the graduates of agricultural colleges we
ought to be able to look with confidence for
the best men for the vacancies in agricultu-
tural college professorships; but such men
will not be found if the students have been
looking especially to other callings.
Again, there is limited demand for agri-
cultural writer's The number of men fully
competent to take charge of good agricul-
tural paper is very small. If vacancy oc-
cur on the editorial staff of political OF
general paper there is no difficulty in filling
1t with man fully competent in every way
10 I'LL such a vacancy on an agricultural pa
per is a matter Of very considerable difficulty
For limited number of young men, whose
taste, ability and education fit them for TIN
work, agricultural journalism offers fielt
of muck usefulness, and fair pay.
There is growing interest in veterinar,
science, and all increasing realization of th
need of competent veterinary surgeons. Un
fortunately, the profession in the countr
has suffered in the estimation of the genera
public from the character of many who hay
assumed the title. But for reasonabl

The Rusat World, in reply to a CORES
pondent, gives the following advice in re-
gard to cultivating Strawberries, which we
think applicable to this country with one
exception-th of planting on level ground.
Where it is necessary to irrigate them, we
would advise the throwing up of low ridges,
say five or six inches high-.just high enough
to let the water run between the rows, and
soak through without flooding the vines.
If the vines are flooded, it bakes the ground
around them, and retards their growth, or
kills them entirely:
"Select good soil-the better, the better
will be the yield. We much prefer virgin
soil if it eau be had Prepare it by deep
plowing, and pulverizing finely with har-
row, and then rolling, or smoothing down
with slide or smoother Plant as early in
spring as possible. Summer and fall plant
ings, in our latitude, are generally failures.
Have line as long us your rows, which
stretch with man at each end, with spades
in hand. When the line is stretched, let the
men advance towards each other, throwing
out, every fifteen inches apart, sufficient dirt
with the corner Of the spade to leave hole
for the roots OF the strawberry plants. When
the men meet, they should walk back TO the
ends of the row, take up the line and stretch
it again three and a half feet from where is
was before, and make holes again in the
same way, so they will be fifteen inches by
three and half feet apart-and the two men
thus continue till the ground is all gone over.
The strawberry plants are dropped in these
holes, and men follow and plant them with
their hands, spreading out the roots careful
, ", and drawing up fine soil and pressing
firmly around the roots Of the plants. We
have tried various ways, but find this suits
us best. The plants should be Of the last
years growth, and the more thrifty they are
the better.
The rows being three and a ahalf feet apart,
: the plants can be cultivated by horse power,
and the weeds must be kept down by the
cultivator and hoe. Let the plants make
runners. We do not cut them off, but let
them bear, and get as big crops as anybody.
In the winter, after cold weather sets in give
a light covering with straw, SO as to protect
the ground from the sun, to prevent the
freezing and thawing, and consequent heay-
ing out OF the plants. The strawberry plant
Is very hardy, but is apt to be thrown out by
the frost, if not covered.
The first crop will be the best, If well at
, tended to. We always take off two crops OF
fruit, generally three, plowing up after pick
ing the fruit the second or third season. and
raising crop of late corn on the ground.
. Raised in this way, we consider the straw
berry crop the most profitable one grown in
our latitude. The best market variety for
long distances is Wilson's Albany. 1t is
productive, hardy, firm, and does well every
where.

THE FAEMER's TROUBLES,

Half our troubles are imaginary. The
remedy for these is hope; and the remedy
for the other half is work Work will give
us hope, and hope makes labor easy. What
will not a little extra work do for our COM
fort, and the comfort Of our families? One
half hours extra work u day would make
all the difference between disturbed house
hold and home of comfort. Let poor
discouraged man try it. Brooding over our
troubles does no good. 1t will pay no debts.
Work will make creditor wait And let
us say right here, that | do not think farm
ers as class, or their families, are given to
extravaganza in dress or in their style of
living. just now the tendency is all the
other way. They are spending less than
usual. And it is capital time to make i'm
provements. In periods Of general depres-
sion like the present, some people seem to
think the world is coming to an end. Be
that as it may, it is wise in us to continue
blowing and sowing. 1t is great thing to
feed and clothe the world. We have had a
dinner, and shan't want to go to bed without
supper, and tomorrow we shall want an
other breakfast dinner and supper, and so
on during all the days of the week, and the
month, and the year. There are 365 IA
days in the year. Suppose we should forget
that one-quarter of a day, and the world on
the first day of January next should wake
up and find no breakfast. There would be
fine rumpus when the world found that it
had to wait six hours for dinner on an emp
ty stomach. Why, then, need farmer fear!
His products will never 90 out Of fashion.
Bread milk, butter, cheese, eggs, mutton,
pork poultry, fruit and potatoes, will be
wanted every day until the end of time.
And it is our duty and our interest to see
that the world does not come to an end for
the want of food Ohio Farmer.

does good thing. He who induces neigh

thing for himself as well as his neighbor,
and he who makes public through an agri-
