Experiments with Wheat.


From the Practical Farmer.
As appropriate TO the season, we
wish TO suggest some experiments
with the wheat crop. First, as to
the amount of seed per acre. A large
majority of farmers SOW from five to
six pecks, probably because their
fathers did. Experiment on our soil
has demonstrated that one bushel or
less will produce all the land is capa-
bic of, and in fact, more than n larger
quantity. We have grown heavy
crop from half Il bushcl of seed, i,
and the result Of our experiment in
this direction has been to reduce,
one-third or more, the amount OF
seed sown, and we have increased the
yield by so doing. Another expert
ment we would suggest is in the way
of Gning and compacting the soil.
1t is the practice of many farmers TO
SOW their wheat after n single har-
rowing. We are convinced from our
own practice that on some soils sew
.eral bushels to the acre may be add
ed, or the crop even doubled in some
instances, by a dollars worth of
work expended to the acre in pulvcr-
izing the soil. Experiments with fer
tilizcrs are of great importance. Try
on u plat specially selected for the
purpose, some special fertilizers. Try
pure bone on one plat, bone and ashes
on another, wheat bran compostcd
with leaf mold for few weeks on n
third, and salt on fourth. Then on
a small plat, at least, try the effect OF
cultivation. There are statements
going the round of the agricultural
papers that cultivation will double
the yield of wheat. If these state
mcnts are true, we want to know it.
and if they are published in the in
tcrcst of those having machinery for
sale, We also want TO know it. 1t
may be that on some soils 1t will be
largely beneficial and not on the 9th
crs, and each farmer should know Tor
himself. A few square rods, thor
oughly cultivated and compared with
an adjoining plat uncultiyatcd, will
help to settle the question, and if a
hundred or more will try the same
experiment, and report through The
Farmer, it will throw still more light
on the question.

Gardeners Talk.

Ask a gardener what kind of soil
you should use for such and such
plants, and he will reply, a "loosc.
mellow, rich and well-draincd one. f"
1t matters little what plant, bush or
tree you speak Of, that's the condi-
ton the soil must be in. Take any
soil on your place, sandy, claycy,
loamy, gravelly, or even stony make
1t as above, and the plant must do
well. Here is the whole secret of
successful and profitable growth. If
you are building house for yourself,
plow, subsoil, drain, manure, plow
again, narrow the garden fine, and
drain with tiles if necessary, but let
it, before planting, possess the four
cardinal virtues, and there can be no
such word as fail. The best farms
arc but facsimiles Of this.

Errors in Poultry Keeping.

Fanny Yield IN Practical Farmer.
An eminent poultry breeder once
said "hcns were only machines for
laying eggs" and n great many in
experienced poultry raiscrs accept
his statement literally, and do not
feed their 'egg.machiues" any more
than they would sewing machine (;
If they must look upon hens as ma
chimes, let them also consider that
most machines need oiling occasion
ally.
Another error is in orer feeding, cs-
pecially the heavy Cochins and Brah-
mas these rapid flcsh.producing
breeds are given fattening food until
they are SO loaded down with fat that
they are worthless as layers forever
after, and the Asiatics get the name
of being enormous eaters, and poor
cgg-producers, when the fault lays
with the owners manner of feeding,
and not with the "ravenous appetites"
of the large breeds.
Another bad practice is that Of ir-
regular feeding; the fowls are fed
whenever the farmer or hi3 wife or
some of the children happen to think
of it. Sometimes they are fed early
In the morning; then again they get
their morning meal about the middle
of the forenoon, and sometimes they
don't get it at all it is starvation
one day and overlooking the next.
Another great drawback to success
in poultry keeping is the overstock.
ing small yards. Give your fowls
room enough to turn around without
treading on their ncighbors' toes.
Another error is the custom OF
keeping n rooster for every half doz-
en- hens. Where fowls are kept on
the farm and have free range, one
good, vigorous, healthy young roost-
er to every fifteen or twenty hens is
sufficient.
Another mistake that farmers often
make is that of compelling fowls to
roost on the wood-pile, on the fence,
in the trees, in an open shed, or any.
where else they can find place, dur.
ing the entire winter. Under such
circumstances IL takes every crumh
Of food that the hens can get to keep
up animal heat enough to keep from
freezing, and as natural conse.
quence eggs are nowhere.

How Farmers Lose Money.

by not taking one or more good
papers.
by keeping no account Of farm
operations, paying no attention TO
the maxim that "stitch in time
saves nine" in regard to sowing
grain and planting seed at the prop
or time.
Leaving reapcrs, plows, cultivators,
ETC., unsheltercd from the rain and
the heat of the sun. More money is
lost in this way, annually, than most
persons would be willing TO believe.
Permitting broken implements TO
be scattered over the iarm until they
are irreparable. BY repairing broken
implements at the proper time, many
dollars may be savcd--a proof of the
assertion that time is money.
Attending auction sales and pur-
chasing all kinds Of trumphery, be-
cause, in the words Of the ycndeI, the
articles are very cheap.
Allowing fences TO remain uhre-
paired until strange cattle are found
grazing in the meadow, grain fields
or browsing on the fruit trees.
Disbclicving the principle Of rota-
tion of crops, before making a single
experiment.
Planting fruit trees without giving
the trees half the attention required
TO make them profitable.

Women as Poultry Raisers.

From the PoalsFy World.
The custom practiccd in France of
allowing the wife so many francs n
n month or year as "pin.money," TO
use as she pleases, is one that should
be generally adopted, especially in
the United States. On the farm the
care and profits of some If not all the
poultry, could be very properly trans
ferred to tho women of the household.
The care of poultry is business
naturally adapted TO women, as it
requires patience and attention, and
ut the same time, kindness and gen.
tleness, traits too often lacking in the
sterner sex. There Is no event In
connection with poultry raising, dur
ing the whole year, which has not its
interest for those who care for the
innocent creatures of the barn-yard,
whether IL he feeding the grateful
bipeds, gathering the eggs, Matching
the chickens, or reducing the flocks

Tomatoes on Trellises.

CarfesIapdcpoc ~ Rural Scu Yoke.
As an experiment ] trained one
tomato vine this year on trclis and
do not think shall ever plant an
other vine, without some kind OF a
trcllis, unless il is TO experiment.
The fruits on trclliscd vines attain a
large size, are juicy and do not taste
of the ground. While the fruit Of the
vines that were LEFT TO run on the
ground, were rotting, those trained to
trcllis were sound and growing
rapidly. The trellis use is the same
as the one described and engraved in
the Rural, last spring. 1t takes but
little work TO make one. ANY farmer
can make all he wants in the barn
some day when it rains. The fruit
will ripen more evenly and ten days
earlier-which is quite an advantage.
Moreover the arrangement gives the
garden more tasty appearance and
IL is much easier to keep the trclliscd
