Seed Wheat.
Yrotn the Amsrioan Farmsr.

Prum the American Farmer.
Mr.. Goddess says: :-"If farmers
would exercise as much carein select
ing seed wheat as they do in corn
there would be less running out.n
This is fact, and am s1rp ed
more farmers do not see it. In
experiments with corn, have ter.
ciously held the fact that the ton
ear bears the only seed suitable
TO plant, and as tenaciouslv do /
hold that there is only one head in
each stool of wheat perfect enough
TO keep it from deteriorating. An
other reason why wheats run out is
that, as long as farmers take their
seed from the common granary, so
long will 1t diminish in yield. They
may sift it, sling it across the barn
floor, and run it through a hundred
selves, and it will still degenerate.
Not until they exercise the patience
and science of hand.picking bushel
or two every year from the top heads
OF the best stools, and sowing them
alone on some choice lot for seed the
following year. will they escape the
degeneratiDg influences of bad. upre-
munerative crops. Wheat is so re-
markably sensitive that IL receives the
slightest attention most kindly; and
on the other hand, the presence of
any foreign plant (even another kind
of wheat,) weed, fly, bug or worm,
takes from il its life TO such degree
that every farmer loses many bushels
annually.

man has an old-fashioned cleyis, with
the pin in well-worn or large hole,
he will find the pin drawing even on

FORTY years ago Messrs. Lawes &
Gilbert, of England, began a series Of
experiments in wheat growing. They
selected plots of ground-in some
they tried different manures, while on
one plot no manure or change of
crop was allowed, but wheat followed
wheat season after season for forty
years. In that time there has been
q decrease OF just ten bushels per
acre in the yield. One.fourth bushel
per acre year. Taking this as a
STANFORD case, farmers who follow
wheat with wheat not giving the land
any needed rest or feeding it with
manure or green crops turned under,
may look for n decrease, OF course,
less some years than others, but an
average of one-fourth bushel per acre
a year. This is one practical out
come from these celebrated expert
ments, for which the farmers of the
whole world may be thankful TO the
Messrs. Lawes & Gilbert.

Heating Houses by Steam.

Our readers may know that there is
a company at Springfield, Mass, who
send steam through pipes in streets to
heat public and private buildings, the
same as gas and water is taken, and
that it is apparently great success, the
following letter from that city gives in
teresting facts:
CAN STEAM BE CARRIED LONG, DIsTA NOES
without becoming "dead % The fur
thest building from the boilers which is
heated in Springfield is the Agawan
bank-distance, three-quarters of a
mile. 1t is said that bank was never
heated before; certainly it is heated
now. The claim is, believe, that any,
thing can be warmed within radius of
four miles, but less than fourth of
that has as yet been demonstrated in
Springfield.
IN THE COOLEST WEATHER
does not the steam condense in the
mains and do not the distant poiuts
fail of their heat? NO,-for the reason
suggested above. AS fresh steam is
constantly pouring into the main, the
ground around it is constantly warm
and cannot freeze, no matter if the out
side temperature is below zero. On the
days of extreme cold last winter, the
rooms supplied with the Holly steam
knew only summer heat, and the same
was true during the few cold days of
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1880-02-27

Ghls winter. In warmish days the heat,
IKE that of furnace, is little trouble
some. Of course it can be turned off,
but most of the customers open their
windows and ''let her quilt"
WHAT Is THE COST
OF the steam heat to the purchaser as
compared with the cost of furnace heat !?
Ihe apparatus costs rather more than a
good furnace would. There must be in
the cellar a valve or governor for re-
duclng the street pressure of 30 to 40
pounds down to from 3 to 9 pounds, ac-
corning to circumstances. Then comes
the expense of piping and radiators.
for brick house, containing twelve
goOd-slzed rooms, the outfit cost $500,
when furnace large enough to do the
business could have been purchased for
SSoU. This was before the recent
neaVy advance in piping and the outfit
Would probably cost to day $3.50. As to
Ihe cost OF the heat itself the company
mas tried several plans. One was to
base 1T upon last years coal bill, but
eVerybOdy's bills were founu astouish-
Ingly low. Another was to measure the
steam, but it was soon found that pei
iher Mr. Holly nor anyone else has vet
invented a trustworthy steam meter.
Then the plan was tried of gaugng the
price by the number of cubic feet in the
room to be heated, and under this ar
rangement it was agreed to heat Il store
20 by so, for $50 for the season. But
the plan which the company are now
trying is to charge for the season from
50 to 60 cents per square feet of radi-
ating surface, and us the radiators aIe
constantly supplied with steam, per-
haps this plan is as fair as any. What
ever the plan, there is little chance that
the cost to the consumer will be less
than heating by coal, while the chances
are that he will have to pay rather
more for his luxury.
Is THE STEAM HEAT SATISFACTORY
Perfectly. There is a great advan-
tage of course in having Il store or il
dwelling at uniform heat, the same
all night us all day. 1t is also more
healthful, although some of the houses
where the steam heat goes are kept
constantly hotter than is for the occu-
pants physical good. Then it is no
small matter to be relieved of the dust
and bother which are almost insepara-
OlO HUN IuC care Vi Il lullldce, WDllc UDe
danger from fire is reduced to Il mini
mum or wiped out all together. Be
sides, if you desire, your radiators may
be so arranged as to fill any room
quickly with steam, which is one of the
best of extinguishers, unless fire has
gained considerable headway There
are numerous other advantages which
will occur to everyone. A crockery
dealer told me that for years the gas
from his furnace furnished the plated
ware i'll his stock, but that since he dis
carded the furnace and put in steam
heat, lie had no further trouble.
DOES THE ENTERPRISE PAY THE COM
PANY?
They are not yet prepared to say.
nor will this be positively known until
the end of the season. But if with only
65 takers it can be made nearly or quite
remunerative, with two or three times
that number. and not too great an ex-
tension of pipes, there can be no doubt
that it will pay handsomely, and that,
too, without an onerOus tax upon those
who enjoy the luxury.
