THE "sWEATING PROCESS" IN WHEAT.

We notice by our exchanges that many of
the farmers about the State are beginning
threshing from the shock and hauling their
grain direct to market. Ordinarily this
plan has some advantages to recommend it,
but this year. when the wheat has been
b'eacl'ed out by hot suns and repeated rains
is not advisable. 1t should by all means 60
into the stack and undergo the sweat be-
fore being threshed and sold. This will in
most cases raise the grade and save the owu-
er from five to ten cents on the bushel
The "sWeatins" process is one not gener-
ally understood. Taking either wheat or
oats or even hay. and stacking and moving
them in short time, they will be found to
be undergoing what is commonly known as
the sweat" On opening the stack the
straw will be found damp as well as the
grain, accompanied by considerable heat.
which lasts for number of days. At such
ii nes it is difficult to separate the berry from
the head, and it is seldom threshed by any
good farmer till this period is passed.
The result Of the sweat is that the dead
color Of the berry is restored. while the kel-
mel itself is filled out and is considerably
plumper than when it went into the stack.
But this is not all During this peri ID there
has been a constant absorption by the berry
of the nutrltive elements in the stalk, rend-
cred active by the fermentation, 2iiu this
develops and ripens the kernel. Some ques.
ton whether there is any more gluten added
bat it is our opinion that there is, and that
it is richer in albuminoids, and will make,
consequently, higher quality Of aour than
if not stacked at all. But the suggestion
we desired to urge was that stacking would
brighten the grain, which is this year most
ly of q dead color and add few dollars to
the revenue of the farm, which all will
frankly acknowledge is always small
enough.--Ohio Es.

METHODS OF SUCCESS IN FARMING,

There is no business in which one may
engage which requires more intelligent
thought and specific information to make it
a success than that Of farming. The farmer
must not know only what his soil is best
adapted to producing, but also what the de-
mand is, or is likely to be in the future The
first can only be known by intelligent applica
ton and observation OF results; the latter by
wide reading of the worlds movements and
demands. Only such as observe these rules
can hope to make farming a great success,
There are hundreds of farmers who stumble
along from year to year and who never even.
note results Of methods adopted by them
and the consequent causes of their success
i've failures in profitable farming. This re-
suits from having no method of taking
notes of this and that item OF details and
comparing results from time to time. OF
running before there is anything to prompt
him to change his tactis. But this class
generally learn only at the end Of a mort
gage foreclosure and an utter break-up.
On the other hand. the intelligent. methodic
and successful farmer like such business
men in other vocations, note results care
fully. change their tactis when warned by
their notes OF experience, and are ever alert
reading and netting the movements of the
Industrial world. to learn what is doing and
what future demands upon their class will
likely be. A farmer cannot read too much.
if his reading and observation is largely in
the line of his own calling Other classes
of business men knew tn. value of this and
are constantly scanning the movements of
the classes with whom they have business
relations.--IndianQ Farmer.

The wheat crop Of the present year is ne

MANAGING THE SOIL.

One of the first things which every owner
Of farm should ascertain. is the character
and value Of the subsoil winch underlies
= hs land. In some cases it will prove of lit
~ value, and should be LETT Where it is,
4hrsening it only with the subsoil pow, for
ile purpose of deepening the reservoir for
,olding and supplying moisture. In other
,aces it posses valuable properties. and
rcreases the value of the land by being
.rawn up and mixed with tho top soil A
triking case occurred some years ago,
where an open ditch two feet deep was cnt
Trough por.on of a field, and The exca-
yated sub>oil scattered to the distance OF a
rod Oh each side. The field was afterwards
sOWn with wheat, the season for which was
90 untavera le that the field averaged only
i've bushels per acre. except where the SUBJ
soil from the ditch had been scattered. Here
the product was estimated at no less than
twenty bushels to the acre. 1t would have
paid well 10 dig up enough OF the suhsoil to
scatter over The Whole field. A farmer in
one OF the wheat-growing regions OF this
State informed us that he Increased his
wheat ten bushels per acre, by running the
plow two inches deeper than il had ever
gone before, throwing up aud intermixing
asmall portion of the subsoil. Another
farmer, occupying several hund. ed acres
which he cultivated with much success, as
serted that he would be willing to have six
inches Of the whole of his top-soi removed
from his tarn, as he thought the suhsoii the
otst of the two. Several years ago, John
Johnston of Geneva made in substance the
Believing statement II had some 800 oak
ahd blackWalnut stumps pulled, bringing
up earth from four to six feet deep. and ten
ieet square or more on the surface. The
next year | sowed the field to wheat.
where the stnmps stood, the wheat was
mol SO good as elsewhere, but it is now, after
some years, in wheat again. and [ never
saw such wheat as where the stumps were
pulled, You could see where every stump
nad been; the wheat is all ten inches taller,
e'shds far stockier on the ground, and looks
as II load ct barnyard manure had been
aalo down and not halt spread"
g may easily perceive from these state
mehts that much of the land of this country
''as beneath it a mine OF wealth to utilize.
winch is worthy of much effort. The best
way undoubtedly. would be to loosen it by
eaosoiIing. and then to work it up gradually

uiafly apDlcable to wheat land corn would
