Russ1A's WHEAT PROBLEMS.

Our competitor, Russia, has, it seems,
problems to solve in wheat growing not un-
like our own. The following points are
gained from perusal of foreign article on
the subject: In the south, and in what par
e1cellenee may be called the granary Of Rus
sia, some corn spectators occasionally farm
as many rs 5000 and 10000 acres, renting
them at two-pence per acre. This grain is
entirely grown for export purposes. For
the last few years the Russian wheat has
not been in such demand as formerly, on
account Of its lessened size. Nor is this
difficult to account for. The land is not
nlanured; and, because Of this, it gradually
becomes so exhausted that in many parts it
must lie fallew fifteen years before it will
yield another crop. At present this pro-
duces no great practical Inconvenience, II we
except the diminished export trade, seeing
that when his allotment is exhausted the
peasant just removes his plow and farming
gear to patch of virgin soil but when the
population of Russia has grown, as it must
do, some sort of system, which the peasant
would now consider high-class farming,
must be introduced. The very manuring of
the soil, owing to the climate, would be no
small difficulty, and those who know the
country best are Of opinion that it could be
best done by parking sheep, but tor no
longer time in any one year than twenty
four hours. To do this for any longer
would make the land too hot; in drouthy
seasons the grain would be burned up, and
in wet seasons it would run all to straw.
These statements are almost Incredible, but
il they be accurate, indicate that Russia has
more difficult problems than ours. A flt-
teen-yeaf fallow on the one hand and a
twenty-tour hour run OF sheep on the other
are indeed striking extremes. The sheep
prescription is certainly the most homcpop-
athic dose of nlanuring we ever heard Of

SPRING WHHAT.

The nature OF the wheat plant ID to make
roots and tiller in cool weather before send
ing up seed stems for this reason it becomes
essential that the seed be got into the ground
at the very earliest opportunity that it can
be suitably prepared to receive 1t. I'll for
the reason Of less tillering that it requires
more seed per acre for spring than tall sow
ing. When sown quite early, less seed Is
required than if sown later, tor the same
reason. Wheat has the faculty of adapting
itself to a variety of soils, and will produce
fairly, providing the soil contains sufficient
suitable plant food, and il thoroughly drain
ed, naturally or artificially. For some soils,
heavy, well-tilled clays for example, spring
wheat is better adapted than winter, Tor the
reason that such soils often in freezing and
thawing throw the wheat roots out, or by
other reason "winter kill" the grain. For
spring sowing. better results are had from
blowing the ground in fall, and in spring
nure or other fertilizer, and narrowing in as
soon as it can be we'll done after the frost is
out of the ground. Where plowing is nec-
essary in spring, give a dressing of coarse
manure and plow down quite shallow un-
less the soil is in high tith, when little
fertilizer spread with the seed is sufficient.
The quantity of seed to the acre will de-
pend upon filth, season and minor circuf,-
stanccs--from one and three-tourths to two
and one-half bushels-but be sure that the
seed is OF the best and clean. Prepare the
seed by pouring it into strong brine, in
which an ounce or two OF powdered blue
vitriol to the bushel of grain is dissolved
skimming off all light seed; drain and dry
off with dry slaked lime.-W. H. White, IN
Country Gentleman.

BADLY LIGHTED STABLES.

The horse, although it looks straight for
ward much more than most animals, yet
does not do SO nearly as much as man, and
therefore requires in its habitation, an ar
range,nent of light quite different from that
in it's owners dwelling. Give the horse the
light from only one side, and 1t will direct
only one of its eyes toward It, but the other
eye will be in the shade; this inequality
weakens both eyes. Put it in such posi-
ton that it looks into the dark, which is
certainly unnatural, and when taken out OF
the stable the..abrupt change from dAfl,ess
to light will harm it. 70 place it straight
against the light, gives the latter : hlindiag
effect which is also injurious to the @~eA
The stable should therefore receive its light
from above, either through skylights or
through windows placed near the ceiling in
the wall to which the animals head Is turn
ed as he stands in the stall. Moreover, the
stable should be always bright, rs bright in
deed as daylight; for the horse is not a
night or twilight animal, and is in no need
of artificial darkness, like tattening Stock
R,tral Nea0 Yorker.
A contemporary says: "There is no rea-
son why farming may not be made to pay
much oftener than it does. Very few have
learned to regard 1t a. a business. 1t is 3
sort of chance work all round. Most men
look on it as sort of real estate transaction.
They hope one day to sell ont at q big tig-
ure, hence are afraid to Improve their farms
with view to agricultural operations, for
fear that whoever buys the land will not
care for these little things. We have often
heard some improving armer ridiculed for
his expenditures by some knowing ones,
who were very sure so-and-so would get no
more for his place than it he had thrown
the money in the dirt.

AGRICU 1T ] RAJ.


with the necessity of writing chapter on
the culture of potatoes, and as spring is ap-
preaching, q more opportune moment cam
not be chosen. Montana, every farmer we'll
knows, has gained worldwide reputation
for the quality of her tubers. Go where
you will over the states, wherever you find
/. man who has visited our territory, yon
hear him compliment the potato which
graces the Montana table. Within the last
two or three years, however, we are sorry
to say, there has been material decline in
the quality OF the potatoes in general use at
hotels, restaurants and boarding-houses.
Instead of being white and solid, and break
ing up dry and mealy, they are either hard
and blush, or hollow, and many are soft
and watery, in fact, anything but palatable.
This cannot be attributed to any fault of
the country, as we find the tables OF those
who are careful in their purchases supplied
with potatoes even superior to those pro-
duced ten years ago.
The fault lies with our farmers. Since the
fall in prices there seems to be no effort to
produce first-class quality, but the reverse
should be the case, tor as the price declines
every effort should be made by the producer
to preserve and improve the quality in or
der to stimulate demand. just where the
principal fault lies we are unable to say.
In fact, there seem to be a number of causes
Many of our farmers have been using tue
same seed without any change or attempt
to improve; besides, they have been plant
ing the same ground without change for the
past ten years. In addition to this, shey
have become careless about planting. allow
ing other matters to crowd and put it off
until late in the spring. This. with their
reckless system of cultivation aud watering
late. has proved very disastrous.
In suggesting a remedy, it is necessary to
commence at the beginning. 1t is first nec-
essary to procure new variety Of seed
some Of the improved varieties of course
They should be planted in good season and
on good soil, and cultivated properly. The
watering after the season is we'll advanced
is most important, and q proper knowledge
can emily be attained by experience, as Diff
ferent soils require different degree of
moisture. Dry, sandy soil should be chosen
when it can be had, and it is not best to wa
te. after the potato has attained size enough
for use. We are satisfied, however. that the
large quantity Of inferior potatoes in our
markets is due to the inferiority of the seed
Those who take pride in potato culture have
fine varieties. Their potatoes are always OF
good size, aud never watery or poorly ma
tured.
A word to the wise is sufficient. Let our
farmers but pause and sec where their care
lessness and inattention is drifting them. A
little thought, 81 little study and ordinary
skill will be found highly profitable, and
will place the potato of general use again
on its proper standing.

AMOND CITY, MONTANA, MARCH 6, 1879
A WORD TO FARM LABoRERs.

1t is important to impress upon young
men who are seeking employment the truth
that it pays to form good habits. The idea
too often prevails among this class that it
makes but little difference upon mans
business prospects how he spends his mi
nority. No matter what habits he forms,
or what excesses he indulges in if only he
is a good workman he expects to succeed in
getting employment and good wages. But
employers even of farm hands, have more
regard to the character and morals Of fhose
they hire than the latter often suspect. Not
long since one of our subscribers, a promi-
nent farmer in the eastern part of the state,
who wished to hire to him. He questioned
them closely about their habits, as to tenn
perance and good morals. Profanity, dis
regard of the Sabbath and the use Of liquor
or tobacco were sufficient to rule out any
one applying to hire. If the record of the
applicant is clear on these points our friend
gives him trial, and if he finds him COM
petent workman, intelligent in his duties,
industrious and faithful, he makes IN ad-
vance upon his wages. He regularly pays
his men two dollars month above the av-
erage rate paid to other farm hands in his
neighborhood, because he values good NOR
ais as well rs good labor, and 10 willing to
pay bonus for respectability and good
character. His present hired man isa fair
musician and helps to Instruct and entertain
the family by his accomplishments. While
he is faithful laborer in the fields and
trusty with the stock, his worthy character
is of greater value to the children OF the
family. His example is one to be imnnitat-
ed by them, and not, as is too often the case,
one to be held up as warning. Many .
young man who knows himself to be COM
petent workman fails to secure employment
because his habits are such as to unfit him
to be the companion of children. Profani-
ty, obscenity, a Disregard for Gods day, as
we'll as intemperance and uncleanly habits,
have kept many young man from secur-
ing good places, good pay and advancement.
1t pays to be moral.-Indiana Farmer.
