had an agreeable. call yesterday from the
Hon: c. T. Butler, Of Jefferson county,
late Senator from the Twelfth West Vir-
ginia district, who is now in this part of
the State in pursuance of his dates as
Lecturer of the Grange order, delivering
addresses to the members of the organi-
cation in various localities. He lectured
last evening in the eastern paiti of this
county, and will speak. in Brooke and
perhaps other counties before he returns.
Senator Butler is an intelligent farmer
and very soci.lble and agreeable gentle
man." So. .. q
After returning from the Third district
and the Williams Grove picnic" Brother
Butler will visit in about the order named,
if suitable arrangements can be made, be-
ginning about September I'd, and spend
ing two or. three days in each county
Preston, Harrison, Wood, Wetzel, Ohio,
Brooke, and getting into Marion about the
10th Of September. This will about close
the picnic season, unless it may be a short
tour in the river counties below Parkers-

assistant for information as to lecturing

the corn and pillow and sow wheat. The
unavoidable lateness of this operation is
decided objection in many sections.
An old-time method of tillage for
wheat, still practiced to some extent, is to
plow fallow the ground before harvest, or
early in August, and stir or plow again
early in September; then seed with drill or
sow broadcast in the fall Fallow ground
broken up for wheat must be free from
blue grass, or the grass will iniure the
wheat. Fields that have been in grass for
three or four years, and containing a large
proportion of blue grass, should be worked
IN corn or other summer crops before they
are prepared for wheat. 61T2flE
There is widespread diversity of opin-
ion in regard to sowing wheat after bar
ley or oats. Some of our best farmers do
it, while others consider the practice a
careless one, at least when the fields are
not entirely free from weeds When Cir
cumstances seem to point to this mode as
advisable, w. A. Armstrong, Elmira, n.
Y, recommends more than single plow.
ing to prepare the ground. He thinks it
is good plan to skim the stubble lightly
as soon as the crop is removed, and when
the seeds of weeds near the surface are
nus ~NooSN ~ SNAAiihotS3 RlOW q AitliC
deeper, bringing other seeds into suitable
condition for growth, and still third
ploughing as deep as needed for the wheat.
This would be an approach to the sum-
mer fallow which most cultivators regard
as the true preparation of weedy land for
| wheat. fz.s 70 .a--r1E.
Charles Heller, farmer in the same vi.
cinity, condemned before the Elmira IN.
y Farmers Club the pratice of turning
over an old sod for wheat, his experience
not favoring this plan, full crop of May
| weed being his reward. He believed a
better way to be raising potatoes or corn
on the inverted sod, then barley, then
wheat to be followed by clover. The sea-
son when the land is occupied by pota-
toes or corn affords opportunity to destroy
weeds, and if the land is strong enough to
support stiff soil sod, it will bring barley
| and wheat after it. In any event the great
secret in growing wheat is to work the
ground thoroughly. e q ~

THE BEST PREPAR ALTON FOR A
--- WHEAT CROP. .zE

Practical cultivat the world over,
wherever wheat and clover are grown,
eoncede the fact that clover sod is one
of the best, if not the very best natural
preparation for good wheat crop. 1t is
also very generally admitted that the yield
of wheat is better when the clover crop
has been grown for seed than when the
second crop is turned under green or cut
off for hay. bail baa~-7 7,.t 1~ -zsfE -
Repeated experiment has proven that
the wheat-producing capacity of soil
depends on the amount of available nitro
genous matter it contains. After careful
analysis of the soil from which heavy
crops of clover have been taken, Dr.Voel-
cker and other scientists claim; I. That in
the growth of clover, large amount of
heterogeneous matter accumulates in the
soil. 2. This accumulation is greatest in
the surface soil. and it is derived from de-
caying leaves dropping during the growth
of the clover, and from the great mass of
root, containing when dry from J to per
cent of nitrogen. 3. There are more and
larger roots and a greater accumulation of
fallen leaves when the crop is allowed to
90 to seed than when it is cut for seed or
pastured. i - @
DIR. Voelcker's advice to farmers who
desire to gain from clover lay the great
est possible benefit, is to plow it up for
wheat as early as consistent in the autumn
and leave it in a rough state as long as
possible, that the air may find free access
into the soil that the crude heterogeneous or
ganic matter in the clover roots and leaves
may have time to become transformed in
to ammoniacal compounds, and then in the
course of time into nitrates. When the
clover lay is plowed up early, the decay
of the clover is sufficiently advanced by
the time the young wheat plant stands in
need of ready available heterogeneous food,
and this being uniformly distributed
through the whole of the cultivated soil,
is ready to benefit every single plant.
An application of lime previous to turn
ing under clover or any vegetable growth
assists decomposition, and when there are
weeds, prevents them from souring the
soil Light soils require less lime than
others and more care in the preparations
Next to clover as forerunner to wheat,
goodly number of Southern farmers
place peas, which, sown broadcast upon
spring stubble and turned under when in
flower, have been known to increase the
Weld of the cereal from four to six bushels
per acre. .,..-,.. at..-tt8 afa
While farmers generally. agree that
blowing under clover is the best prepare
ton for wheat, many of them question
whether the plan is. a wise one. Not a
few cuitivators seed corn ground to wheat,
believing that, all things considered, wheat
had better follow stalk ground. Some sow
wheat among the standing corn, but this
lis not much practiced, as it leaves the sur
face of the land in bad order and is not
regarded as sure crop. Others cut up

THE SADDLE HORSE ON THE
-+sa -. -efs- FARM

The memory of man extendeth to the
day, says a leading journal, when the boys
on the farm were proud to ride fine
young horse to church or to see the girls.
He took pride in the colts, and taught
them to move freely under the saddle, and
above all, when the colt was broken he
was taught to walk. Now the boys must
have a fine buggy and harness, and the
colt must show his style and speed all the
time. The boy is in too great hurry to
allow the colt to walk. The colt, buggy
and boy are soon used up set, by fast
driving. The whole business of buggy
riding by farmers boys is expensive,
extravaganza and demoralizing. Not
one farmer in ten can afford such a
turnout for the lad. Many of them buy a
buggy and LET it stand in the rain and
storm. They are too poor to have house
for vehicles. Such men cannot afford the
luxury Of a buggy. If we could return to
the fashion of riding more on horseback,
we would save millions to the farmers,
and the boys and girls would develop bet
lazy lout can ride in a buggy, but to be a
graceful rider on horseback, one must
have some energy and get-up in his ma
Iure mere Is ire ana nealln IN IlOlnS on
horseback. The whole system feels the
invigorating effect of it, The rider and
the horse catch the fire of sympathy and
excitement in the run, or fast PAGES, and
every nerve and muscle of the body is
brought into healthful, invigorating play.
The mania for trotting horses has been
felt on every farm in the land. The coun-
try is full Of road horses that some man or
boy loves to pull the strings on. They
are usually poor saddle horses, slow walk
ers, and rough. We need a reform. The
place to begin is in breeding class of
horses of good size, style and action, that
can move freely in more than one gait.
The English market is open for such hor-
ses. The well-knit horse of good style
and action, suitable for the hunter or car
riage, will bring better prices than our
average horse. The farmer will find it to
his interest to raise class of colts that the
boys will like to ride. He can raise three
or four fine saddle colts for what one bug
gy and harness will cost, and a fair saddle
horse will bring more money than the
average roadster.
