THE TlLLERING OF WHEAT.-l do not
propose to put my views on tins SUBJECT IN
to those Of a gentleman OF as
large and varied an experience as w. w.
T., page al. But | beg to quote from a
recognized authority OH this subject, which
pretty clearly shows that as a general state
ment wheat and other cereals and plants
do tiller, while it may not be the case on
his soil OF with some varieties. But lsa
part of what NJ. Maudin, a distinguished
French writer and practical agriculturlst,
SAYS: ''Tillering is the name given IN
agriculture to the shoots which spring
out laterally from the base Of the stalk,
particularly among the cereals, and winch
give birth to stalks of the second order. A
plant which tillers always forms a stool or
bunch, or, as they say sometimes, 1t IS
manv-stalk, but there are always differences
between a mapy-stalked plant and a plant
that suckers. Nevertheless tillerings are
really nothing but suckers born of the orig
inal stalk, and not the ratification o. a
rhiZome or the division of a branch SuOter-
raneously prolonged. \ . : 1T Is es
| teemed advantageous In the cultivation OF
| the cereals that the plants t%iller, because
each of the suckers pr Dduces a stalk and an
ear by which the crop is increased IN stra"
and grain beth to the extent OF the tllierlnS.
For that reason agriculturists seek to III
crease tllicTlnS Oy IoiliHS, he"iinS " ~
growing heritage, and frequently by pastur-
Ing down the first growth of heritage by
sheep. But all species and all varieties OF
the cereals are not endowed with the same
capacity for tillering. There are, for eX-
ample, certain varieties of wheat which til.
Ter to a slight deg,ee only, and then only
under favorable circumstances; while, on
the other hand, there are other varieties
which tiller profusely under nearly all con-
ditions. This is notably the case with va
riety known as spelt or Polish wheat, and
the amtdontres or starch producing vdrle-
ties. For this reason, when wheat is grown
for forage, these varieties should always be
chosen. Winter wheat, except under ex-
cepticnal circumstances, always tillers more
than spring wheat; and the same is the case
where a crop is grown on a strong and rlcn
soil, as against another where the sell Is
thin and much lackin in plant food. Fin
ally. to favor the tillering of the creals the
plants should not stand too near each oth
er. for it is evident that the stools VII
ramify in proportion to which they have
unoccupied space to do it IN, and thei
roots being less interferred with by other
roots, they will find more nourishmens t'
draw from the soil" b. +. D.

there are numbers of worthy gentlemen
mentioned in connection with this nomlna1c
ton, including the Hon. John Manning OF
Chatham Julian S. Carr, OF Orange, and

clude that Gen. W. r. Cox will be nomlna-

SUGAR BEETs.-After many years of trial
,,romises to become successful. 1t depends
MOLLY ON the farmers. To retain In our
Midst the millions of dollars sent abroad for
~ugar, is desirable. The Portland, Me-,
Sugar Factory Company, after several sea-
sons of work. still perseveres III inducing
he Maine farmers to produce roots. and is
Sanc1line of success. Beets can be grown
profitablv if a determined attempt Is made;
let but one acre, or less, be planted and
we'll tended, and as soon as that can be
erown successfully, 10 acres may be.
Plant Early. -Beets need to be put IN
very early. The seed should go in the
ground Immediately after the last narrowing,
and if the seed be soaked to ensure quick
termination, the young plants viii get. a
start of the weeds. The writers practice
has been to do this with all kinds of roots,
and as soon as the green line Of the plants
can be seen, to run down the rows with a
hand cultivator that cuts on both sides OF
each row. and stirs the ground within an
inch of the small seedlings. BY keeping
the plants cultivated in this way the mid
dies may be left without harm for some
time. as the rows are kept distinct, and
can be readily seen when the horse hoe Is
used.
Plant by Hand.-Steeped seed cannot
we'll be sow by machine; by stepping, the
quality of the seed is discovered: hight
furrow may be made and the seed dropped
in it 50 closely as to consume 8 or ) IDS; OF
seed per acre. The o may be covered oy
the hoe or by a roller run over the ground
across the rows.
Fertilizers.-No other crop requires a
more vigorous start than roots. 4 liberal
application, at planting, of artificial fertili-
Ter, Peruvian guano or special root manure
being preferable, will go a great way to en-
sure success. 1t is we'll to scatter the root
manure along the rows as they are opened
drop the seed and then cover. This pre-
vents too close contact of seed and fertilizer
which is often dangerous. Guano needs tt
be more thoroughly mixed with the soil.
