OUR WHEAT.

The remarkable reputation and price
of our wheat and flour have been made
solely on the peculiar qualities of the
Scotch Fife, aided by the new process
of milling. Whenever our wheat shall
have lost these peculiar qualities, by
reason of our slovenly style of farm
ing. carelessness-I may say reckless
ness-n regard to quality of seed, or
from any other cause, that moment
we lose our prestige, we can no longer
command the market, and must sell
our products for an inferior price.
The remedy for this is in our own
hands; what is it! We must have
fresh, Thoroughbred seed. The same
care and methods that develop what
we call thoroughbred stock will give
us thoroughbred wheat.
The time and place to select seed
wheat is in the field, while the plant
is hardening and filling. Let any man
carefully observe his field at such
time, note the plants possessing re-
markable vigor and development, and
other desirable qualities; let him at
the proper time select IA sufficient
quantity of seed from such plants;
let him Gull it carefully, taking none
but the most perfect grains; let him
select a sufficient amount of ground,
give it the most perfect cultivation,
then plant his seed therein in such
manner that he can give the growing
crop the most careful cultivation
while growing, and let him follow
this process up with the resulting
seed, and very soon lie will have a
choice variety OF seed-wheat, that
will yield a large per cent, over the
wOrn-out, exhausted seed in common
use.

NATURAL ADVANTAGES OF THE
ST. CRoIX VALLEY.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-IIaving just re-
turned from visit to the Middle and
Eastern states, / thought perhaps my
observations and views, in reference
to the agricultural resources of each
section. might be interesting and pos
sibIy beneficial to some of your many
readers.
1t does one good, sirs, to travel and
contrast the advantages and disadvan-
tages of his locality with those of 9TH
er sections. had not been East for
twenty-one years before making my
recent trip. Great changes in refer
ence to the farming resources. great
changes in the mode of farming in
different sections, have taken place.
New states have come, as it were, into
farming existence, unknown twenty
one years ago, and new discoveries are
being made in these new states which
were unknown to their first settlers.
The first settlers of this section, al
though they could see on the face of
the country great natural advantages,
such as fine soil, timber, stone, water
power, and uniformly salubrious
climate, yet, sirs, it has taken me
twenty-eight years of close observa-
ton to find out some of the farming ad-
vantages that the st. Croix Valley pos
sesses over other sections. The first
questions that were put to me twenty
sever FEARS ago, were, 800 you think
you can raise wheat there Do you
think you can raise grassl Do you
think yours will ever be a stock coun-
try ?" Now, by experience and OBJ
servation am satisfied that climate
controls the Irish potato, that it is of
no avail 10 try to raise good Irish po-
tatOes where the sweet potato grows
well, and it is not wise to try to raise
our kind of hard spring wheat that
makes the new-procesS -four, where
winter wheat grows well. find that
the finest article of butter in the East
ern market comes from that portion of
Wisconsin which is situated similarly
to us. The Kentucky blue grass and
white clover appear to take to our
soil naturally, and where any careful
attention has been paid to cattle, as in
the Rush River section, the cattle are
the finest you see anywhere. Now, it
appears that our pure water, climate
and fine soil, give the farmers the adj
vantage over all other sections, in
wheat, potatoes, and butter. The
fact that cattle in this pure unchange-
able climate in the winter will keep
on rougher and cheaper food than they
can be kept on where rain and sudden
changes are liable to occur, makes it a
favorable stock section, and must at
no far distant day make the st. Croix
Valley a very wealthy section. j. F.

Our correspondent estimates the
cost of fencing farm of certain
size at $500. At the rate of interest
money is now loaned, this sum would
double. if put at interest. in seven
years and by that time the fence
will need extensive repairs. Now cast
the interest on the $1,000 plus the cost
of repairs, for the next seven years.
and where are you! Be sure to look
at both sides of this question while
discussing it. If fencing these extern
sive fields which are used only for a
single crop yearly, pays the farmer in
the long run, then by all means, fence.
If not, abandon the practice.

GRATING.

As this is the season when nursery
men do their grating, it seems but
proper for us to say few words on
this subject of grating, and thus dis
robe it of the mystery with which so
many have yelled it.
When we say 'now is the time nur-
seryEIen do their grating" we do not
mean top grating" but ''root graft
ing" and it is in regard to the latter
of which we shall speak at this time.
In the first place the roots must be
procured, which is done as follows:
While the weather is yet cold, apple
seeds. or crab-apple seeds, are proeur-
ed and mixed with sand and placed
where they can be thoroughly frozen
for couple of weeks. Then when
the frost is sufficiently ont of the
ground the seeds are separated from
the dirt in which they were frozen,
and sowed in drills some two-and-a-half
feet apart. After this they must be
carefully weeded and cultivated sew
eral times during the summer. By
fall many of the stocks have attained
the size Of the little finger. These
are then dug up and buried in the
root-house or cellar in sand to remain
till wanted in the spring. Next comes
the securing of cions for grating.
These should only consist of the new
wood formed during the last summer,
and should be cut when the thermom-
eter is about the freezing point. The
custom among nurserymen at the pres
ent time is to cut their cions in the
fall before the snow flies, and then to
pack them away in fresh saw dust
from the mill, and leave them here
until desired to use. Great caution is
necessary so as not to have the dust
damp enough to mould the cions, or
the other extreme is also just as iniu-
rious, for then the buds will be dried
up and destroyed. In the next arti-
Gle we shall describe the process of
grating, as this article has only led us
through preparatory steps.

WHAT ABOUT OUR RAILROAD ?

EDs. JoURSAL:-I am interested in the
correspondence which has appeared in
your paper relative to railroad con-
Meeting River Falls with the West
Wisconsin Road. The repeated ag-
itation upon the subject can be inter
preted only as a definite, permanent
demand made in the interest of farm
ing and mercantile business, and it is
one of these demands which will ulti-
mately take practical form, since the
need for increased means of transpor-
tation is manifest and the possibilities
of its practical execution have been
repeatedly shown. One of the obstacles
to run rapid and cheap facilities for
transportation from River Falls is
found in the fact that capitalists are
not vet definitely Informed as to the
possibility of profitable business. Cap
italists are not aroused to the fact
that roads are in operation under con-
ditlOns which are identically ours and
whose operation pays ten per cent. net
profit on the total Investments rate
of profit which few branches of bust
ness are paying in these depressed
times.
If there is sufficient capital olsen
gagged from active business that can
be controlled by citizens of River
Falls, it seems only to be necessary to
disseminate the facts already shown
as to the financial profit of the enter
prise in order to build the road. No
one man will be likely to undertake
this enterprise alone, but if a few en-
terprising, practical business men can
be induced to investigate the subject,
it seems as though the facts will am
ply justify the construction of the
road during these times of ow-priced
material and labor.
Mr.. Editor, are there SO, 900 of cap
ital at present idle or capable of trans
fer that parties who would be direct
ly benefited by this road, can control
for the purpose of this enterprise! Is
it possible to organize these interested
persons so they will undertake the
work. To find the idle capital and to
organize the business men constitute
the chief obstacles to the speedy con-
struction and operation of the road,
since repeated surveys have demon
strated easy, practical routes to points
ON the West Wisconsin Road, Can
these obstacles be overcome and the
road built soon! JANIToR.

The diffusion OF useful knowledge
among the masses, is what will pro-
mote the cause of temperance.
''Touch not the wine-cup" is an in
junction which should sink deep into
the heart of every human being; but
that injunction should be accompanied
with something to engage the atten-
tion-SOmething to excite thought to
such an extent that the wine-cup will
be forgotten. Let persuasion take tt :
place of denunciation everywhere,
and let new light be thrown upon the
subject of temperance, or rather, of
total abstinence, from day to DAY,
from week to week. from month TO
month, and the temperance army viii
grow correspondingly strong. Let
the fact be shown that abstinence from
the use, and not indulgence in. stimu-
iating food and drink, promotes health.
strength and vigor of both mind and
body, and the tendency will be strong
in the right direction.
