ABOUT WIIEAJ'.

In the latitude of st. Louis, farmers
arc, or in very few days will be, in the
midst of their wheat harvests. This
will afford them good opportunity for
observing whether or not any spccies:oi
chs geaia,Aas done better on their sew
81 leus than any other While most
lAfuk6rs have q choice as to the kind Of
wheat they wish togrow, aud doubtless
each has cndcavorcd to procure that
variety in purity, there is probably not
onecrop in thousand that does not
have At least q sprinkling of two or three
or moec varieties in its mixture. Where
this b the case, It will enable the grow.
Or 70 Issccrtaip whether any particular
variety has been more prolific than an
ieaher.e LEO, he may find large future
Interest In selecting at small quantity,
a,siagle head Of each may answer, with
which To- test its improving or staying
qualities. Every one knows that there
Is local adaptation of all the grains,
grasses, fruits, and even live stock, to
particular soils and climates, while other
species Of the enc or other, decline in
thrift and productivcncss, under idcnti-
cal culture and treatment. This being
true, 1t Is possible that most farmers
have . variety Of wheat, hitherto unOb-
seryrM perhaps, which has improved or
dcgcneratcd Is tho case may he, on their
several farms and modes Of cultivation.

HAY CAPS.

Our Eastern farmers, who arc most
careful IN haynnking, and with whom
hay is more valuable than in tho West,
think highly Of hay caps. They cost
little, and last years If cared for, and not
left to mildcw and rot. Stout cotton
cloth or shecting yard and a quarter
or . half square makes the best. Springs
at the. fourcofners tao feet long, with
. Stone tied to each. or light stake will
prevent the wind from blowing the caps
of. We have found them useful, but
where one handles large crops the force
employed can be 10 divided or centcred,
~ tho case may demand, % to keep the
fed well cleaned. When cocks of half
cured hay are thrown up and caps put
on; they must be moved as soon after
the shower as possible, to allow the free
escape Of gases. Hay viii mold under
caps sooner than without them. They
are especially useful to protect against
4 sudden shower, or when hay must be
left afleld some days they may be en-
Isoyed to prevent bleaching from sun
and dew,

CORN FODDER.

Perhaps this Is the cheapest feed we
can produce. We do not remember to
have seen any estimate of the amount
/. that can be produced to the acre, but
we have prodaced on one-fourth Of an
acre q much rs two good horses could
drew st len loads after curing in the
St&ck two months. Better fodder can
nctbe made We plant in rows three
{ fecs apart, and drill in q broad drill four
70 SIX inehcs wide, about ten grains to
the foot. -.This we harrow with the
smoothing harrow, just after it and the
weeds spear. We thus cultivate twice
by,wl,ich time the corn will 20 cfectual-

cleaning the ground, and leaves 1t in

the tnirtieth century before Christ, and for
ward as far as the fortieth century yet to
come. There is no time; there is no space
there is no individual existence; there is
nothing save the All, and the Faith that
guides Reason through the changeless night.
For more than one million years my identity
was that of the positivist in the glass jar
yonder. Pardon me, Prof. Schwartz, but
for the same period of time yours was that
Great heavens! How mistaken have been
up to the night when you, Herr Professor,
took charge of my intellectual destiny"
He paused for want of breath, but the
glow of the mystic's rapture still lighted up
his handsome features. There was an awk-
ward silence in the room for considerable
time. Then it was broken by the dry, harsh
voice of Digglemann:
"You labor under somewhat ridiculous
delusion, young gentleman You haven't
been trephined yet"
Strout looked in amazement from one to
another of his friends: but their faces con-
firmed the surgeons statement.
"What was it then?" he gasped.
''Sulphuric ether,' replied the surgeon,
laconically.
''But, after ALL" interposed Dr. Bellglory,
sit makes little difference what agent has
opened your friends mind TO perception
of the truth. 1t is a matter for congratula-
ton that the surgical operation becomes no
longer necessary"
The two Germans exchanged glances of
dismay. ''We shall lose the opportunity
for our experiment. the Professor whis-
pered to Diggelmann. Then he continued
aloud, addressing Strout: 81 should advise
you to submit to the operation, nevertheless.
There can be no permanent intellectual cure
without it. These effects of the ether will
pass away"
''Thank you," returned Strout, who at
last read correctly the cold calculating eX-
preston that lurked behind the scientists
spectacles. "Thank you, am very well as
am"
''But you might, for the sake of Science
consent" persisted Schwartz.
"Yes, for the sake of Science" echoed
Diggelmann.
Chang Sciencev' replied Strout fercely.
''Don't you know that l no longer believe in
Science?'
Blanche also began to understand the true
motives which had led the German Profess
sor to interfere in her love affair. She cast
an approving glance at Strout, and arose to
depart. The three Americans moved toward
the door. Prof. Schwartz and DR.. Digge,-
mann fairly CRASHED their teeth with rage.
Miss Bellglory turned and made them a low
courtesy.
IF you must trephine somebody for the
sake of Science, gentlemen" she remarked
with her sweetest smile, ''you might draw
lots to see which of you shall trephine the
other''
