The FUTURE FARMER. The de
mand for agricultural information i,
constantly increasing. The farmer
OF today is far ahead Of the last gen
Grafton in everything that insures
success and promotes happiness; YET
only the first lesson has been learned
the initial step taken-the future
is before us with all its undiscovered
wealth Of information and its result
ing prosperity. We have only to
toll and study, read aud experiment,
reflect and invent, to wiring from the
bosom of the earth new treasures
and greater abundance Of the old.
These will add to the wealth, pros.
perity and happiness Of the whole
world, andIpIace us in our proper posi-
tlon in the social scale.

QUANTITY OF SEED.-The ques.
tlon as to the proper amount Of seed
to be sown per acre, is one of very
great Importance. Wheat growers,
both in England and this country,
are advocating a much less quantity,
than is usually sowed. a writer OF
great Importance says: The great
est enemy to wheat is another wheat
plant, for the very obvious reason
that both require the same clements
Of food; small heads and kernels,
and weak, aabby straw, are ,he nat
ural consequence of this competi
ton. For several years | tried one
bushel per acre against two. The
difference was $3.50 per acre in ia
Vor Of the lesser amout of seed" "
Many other farmers argue that three
.pecks are great plenty.

LOOK at this gentlemen: Two
years ago Howard Mosicr had 20
head of cattle valued at $780, The
other day he sold 20 head for SEQ;
$38 apiece. Those cattle cost him
just $40 for herding. If you can
point to a nor profitable investment
we should like to know it. The
truth Of the matter is, Union county
offers greater inducements for speedy
returns from investments in cattle,
or any kind of live stock, than any
county in the west. People are be-
ginning to realize this fact, and the
day is not far distant when every
quarter section will feeda large herd
of cattle.

that did the shooting should try the
