Farmers who are wide awake and given
to investigation don't SOW so much wheat
per acre as they formerly did, and they
don't SOW it so deep. The great, heavy
harrows Of ten or twenty years ago are not
now employed by them in covering seed.
and the drill, which can be depended on
better, is becoming universally popular
In broadcast sowing, after the ground is
thoroughly prepared. the Thomas smooth
ing harrow covers the seed deep enough.
A Wisconsin writer gives the result Of an
experiment in planting at different depths
on the surface, one-fourth inch, one-half
inch, threefourth inch and so on 10 ssy-
eral inches. That on the surface lay two
weeks before sprouting; that one-fourth
to three-fourth inches deep came up in
four or five days, and so on. getting later
as the depth increased. The last TO come
DIP was planted three-and a-half inches
deep, and was fourteen days in reaching
the surface. None planted deeper ever
reached the surface. At the end Of six
weeks that planted one-fourth TO one-hali
inch deep stood way ahead Of the rest.

From The New York HaaA.
Jules Vene's ''Tnbulatious of q China
man in China" has been translated into
English by Virginia Camplin, and viii be
published in November by Lee & Shepard.
It is one of the most whimsical of IT'S
authors books, and introduces the tele-
phone. the photograph, and Capt. Boy
tons ifesavin9 suit as familiar articles
to an educated Chinaman. The story
opens by showing the hero at q bachelor
dinner which he gives on the eve Of his
marriage, and at which he complains that
he is too fortunate for happiness. Wang,
the philosopher, his friend, thereupon
prays that evil may befall him, and that
night he receives q letter telling him that
the Central Bank of California, in which
all bis fortune is lodged, has suspended
payment. He Immediately determines to
commit suicide, but being q good hearted
creature, resolves to benefit his friend and
his betrothed by his death, and so goes to
the Shanghai Office of the Centenary Life
Insurance Company and insures his life
for $200, 900, e-quarters of the sum Ia
favor of Le-ow, his betrothed, and the
rest in favor of Wang, and then he walks
home to die. Unfortunately he has set
his heart on feeling some emotion when
at the point of death, and, finding him
self quite cool and comfortable when
about to take poison, he gives up his
plan,. goes to Wang. and makes MIN
promise to murder him before the two
months for which bis life insurance pre-
MUM is paid shall expire. Kin-fo now
begins to feel sensations of but fear, they
soon depart and it is again unpleasantly
comfortable, when he suddenly learns that
the Central Bank of California has re-
sumed payment, that its failure was a
money making pretense, and that he is
richer than ever. He now wishes to live,
but Wang has disappeared, and with
him has vanished letter written by Kin
70 and saying he has committed suicide.
Now begins q very pretty chase: the man
who wanted to be murdered follow
ing the man whom he chose for
his assassin to tell him he pre-
ferred living and being guarded
while engaged in the pursuit by two
Americans, agents of the Centenary Life
Insurance Company, who are determined
not to allow the corporation to lose a val
liable life. The three find Wang at last.
but he runs away from them and appar-
emily browns himself, and they return to
the home Of Kingfo, thinking that he is
safe at last. This pleasing delusion is
rudely disturbed by the reception ola let
ter written by Wang, and saying that he
had handed the letter to Lao-Shen, a
Tripping rebel, and engaged him to do the
murder and to pocket the legacy. Kin-fo

Introduction to . Cattle Ranch.

Il Froh dAIperB magazine.
Now the valley lay behind US, and tn
foothills began to shut out the range; bu
Pixies Peak, sixty miles off doomed up a
grandly as ever. Eight miles more wer,
|traversed, and then we turned into. /:
great farm-yard, or corral, and stopped al
rustic stile. In few moments iUncle
Pete Dotsen came up the path from thu
house, and gave us cordial greeting.
About quarter of century ago this
gray-bearded veteran, then a hale and
vigorous West Virginian, started to drive
cattle to California, stopped at Salt Lake,
became the United States Marshal for the
Territory, and was there when Brigham
Young was in his glory, and Albert Sid
ney Johnston wintered in the snow.
''He left with the troops in 1852" said
Mrs. Dotson Ia brave, patient woman. who
has shared his fortunes, good and bad, and
crossed the plains at least once by her
self, "and came to Denver with tram in
1861. Next year we came to the Big
Thompson; then we went to the Green
horn, and farmed; then we kept q hotel
in Pueblo. In 1864 we were washed out
blythe fountain Fontaine qui bouille]. A
boy rode down on horse without saddle
or bride. only rope in his mouth, and
gave me fifteen minutes warning. Twas
sick in bed, but took the children and
ran. Then we went to the Muddy and
lived, and the Indians used to come and
visit US; but we were washed out there
too. And then, in 1865, we took up this
place."
Uncle Pete had evidently made good
use of his knowledge and experience in
the choice of his ranch. His domain en-
braced 5000 acres, 5000 Of which were ara
bled land. The ground sIoped gradually
from the foot Of the range, and the whole
Of his possessions were under bis own eye.
In large barn-yard were great eranaries
and a fine stone stable, which would not
be amiss in any city in the United States;
and at varying distances on the gentle
slope could be seen the little cabins of the
who cultivated parts Of the land
ION shares" for it must be understood
that this estate was not only a cattle
ranch, but also a great farm.

FALLING,

The last leaves art falling,
Falling and flying,
Along the dark air
Tho tempest In crying,
The trees are all bare,
With its voice of despair
Winter il calling
The leaves to their falling.
How fair was their budding,
Their golden unfolding;
Their verdurous gloom,
And delicate splendor.
More lovely than bloom;
With traoery tender
And emerald ploom
The wild forest studding.
How bright was their dying!
What rashness of glory,
The rainbow defying,
On mountain sides lying,
In valleys fePoalng.
What wonderful story
Their bravery told
In scarlet and gold;
But wan with the cold
They are falling and flying.
Yet, once despairing,
A low voice il singing:
They have their repairing;
Far down in the earth
IL springtime preparing
Her wonderful birth.
Her ever upspringing
Reiterant mirth.
But for thee, but for thee,
Sole leaf ON the tree,
All gone before thee.
What springtime shall be!
There remaineth for all
That thou fallr'

Locust and Chestnut.

Mr.. E'iiioF In the Spring of 1915 plant
ed II number Of yellow locust trees. In N
Fall of 1865 had ihsm cut and they yied8
me ience-posts worth six dollars aud aboul
two dollars worth Of wood 10 the tree They
would have been equally valuable had they
been cut ten years sooner. The smokers put
up very soon, and Icut this Spring Il large
number OF posts for my vineyard from these,
worth at least htiy cents apiece.
In 1916 cut down all the chestnut trees on
my Meadow Hall farm; in 1853 the fire ran
through the wood aud so injured the shoots
that had them cut, and got large quantity
of excellent fencing material The suckers
which put up after this cutting will make
as many times more rails than those first cut,
and intend to have them cut for that pur-
pose next Fall.
In 1860 cut all the chestnu oak and other
trees in four acres OF land adjoining the Fair
Grounds, al Rockville. In the Fall and Win
ter of 1865 had all the useless stuff gathered
from the land, and the young chestnuts and
oaks trimmed up ten feet. In 1870 had them
trimmed thirty feet. Last Winter | had the
chestnut all cut and mauled into rails. They
yielded about FIVE thousand excellent fencing
rails. There is II large quantity Of oak trees
nearly large enough for house logs, which !
did not have cut These rails are worth $50
II thousand, or $3.50 from the four acres in
eighteen years. Ia fifteen years more the same
land will yield rails. worth at present prices
$500.
Both locust and chestnut trees ought TO be
cut very close to the ground, so as TO force the
suckers TO spring from the roots and not from
the stump. Those from the stump are not
nearly so thrifty as those from the roots, and
If the roots about the locust stump are cut by
digging or blowing they will put up shoots
whenever they are 20 broken, and do much
better than those from the stump. About sew
&c hundred locust and chestnut trees may be
planted and will grow to the acre. From the
above any one can calculate the immense profit
which may be made from a few acres on every
farm planted in locust and chestnut.

NATIONAL POLITICS.

The agony is at last over, aud the peoblem
Is solved MS to whether our most worthy de
tdcto President would veto the army appopri-
alton bill because there was a clause forbid
ding the use of the military at civil elections
The use of the military, marsha Is and
supervisors at elections had their origin at a
time when the excitement OF civil strife had
demoralized The land, and those that should
have been statesmen lost sight of The old and
safe moorings Of The Conslitu ton and sough,
by wild aud dangerous legislation to enact
laws, not !or the public good, but 70. par,izan
purposes and 10 retain political power. But
the shock Of war had ceased, the strife of the
States has ended, and /: ever o reason existed
for such legislation it has passed away, and
with it these laws should cease also.
But his majestic Fraudulency says no. lie
says il is wise and good that our elections
should be guarded by the military, marsh ais
and supervisors. True IL is that jus, oy such de-
partures Ms these from the old safeguards does
this representative of the veto power hold his
position, and not by the free vote of the Amer
iean people, ana it III becomes him TO pirate

privileges OF citizens 10 vote, when, ii these
things had existed Mr. T.. b. Hayes would be

ias.esi Of writing yeloes. But as he was not
his choice Of the people and Congress comes
direct from the people, 10 Congress do the peo-
pie now look US u safeguard ~ lhem aud their
rights.
BY the Constitution Congress is The guardi-
an OF the Treasury. Can or will any man in
the halls Of Congress vote TO appropriate mon
ey TO support power which is to rob and de-
prize the people OF their liberties and rights
at general elections? Have the American peo-
pie become SO deprayed that they require an
army TO keep them in order aud direct how
they are TO vote Such talk is absurd. The
day never sn be 10 this country when a cor
poral aud his file Of soldiers will attend every
voting precinct. To haze 40 army Of this
character would breed Peslilence worse than
the lice aud locust OF Egypt.
II not sufficient TO guard each precinct then
II would be useless, for who will be able to
tell at what particular precincts il might or
would be needed. II is TO be hoped that our
representatives, will stand firm aud unshaksn.
Let such men as Hayes, Sherman, Conkllug
