The Situation at San Francisco Worse
Than Ever

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23-From present
indications it seems that the understanding
between the Citizens Protective Union and
the workingmen, brought about at the meet
ing between the committee of the Union and
Mayor Kalloch recently, has come to an end.
This is occasioned in part by dissatisfaction of
the Protective Union with the report of the
conference committee, many members being in
favor OF harsher measures. Com ing events in
local and state politics, the sentence of Kear-
ney, etc., have done large part in widening
the breech, and from present appearances the
extremists of both parties have obtained the
ascendancy, making the situation more unsat-
isfactory than ever.

Cultivation of Wheat.

At the meeting Of the Elmira, n. Y,
Club on the 18th Of November, the follow
ing proceedings were had
Being called upon by President Hoff-
man, MIR. Davic proceeded to explain the
method by which the yield of wheat had
been increased in remarkable degree on
many farms. and he exhibited the device
intended to bring such advantage. The
whole is comprised in drill hoe, having
within the space near the bottom an iron
rib, adjusted in such manner as to inter
eept the falling seed and distribute it over
a breadth Of four inches, instead Of in a
line, as by the usual method. The pur-
pose Of such distribution is to give more
room to the plants, and also permit spring
cultivation. With this object two drill
tubes, eight inches apart, as they are usu.
ally set are passed into one hoe, so that,
as the drill advances, strip four inches
wide Is seeded, and the remaining eleven
inches left unoccupied. Through these
unoccupied strips the cultivation is effected
by means Of scarifying instrument bav.
ing three prongs, the middle one present.
Ing narrow fat face to the earth when
drawn forward, the outer prongs merely
cutting edges, the whole scarifying the
ground without covering the plants with
earth. Reliable reports Of practical trials
made on many farms showed increased
yield Of wheat in the ratio of three bushels
by the improved method to two by the old
aud even greater increase. The trials
embraced tests through fields Of uniform
character Of soil aud condition, alternate
strips being treated by the distributing
process and cultivated two or three times,
and the remaining strips seeded as thickly
and in all other respects subjected to the
same misunderstanding only distribu.
tion and cultivation, the advantage being
10 cases largely with the new method
Mr.. Davic gave references by which bis
report could be verified, for he made the
remaskable statement that within his own
observation the yield Of wheat in certain
fields has exceeded sixty bushels to the
acre, very great portion Of the heavy
crop being the direct product Of the treat.
merit embracing distribution of tho seed
and after cultivation, the fact being certi
fed BY comparative tests without such
care. He referred also to Prof Heiges
who had reported a wheat crop exceeding
seventy bushels 10 the acre obtained BY
che new method. When the club did not
doubt the excellence Of the plan, nor its
results, il could express no opinion without
6rst hasing made practical trial. 70 aid
this was the principal object Of the exhib-
isor, who regretted that he could not have
presehted his device before the wheat-seed-
ing was done; but, inasmaeh as tho benefits
would be seen even in spring sowing, he
proposed to put the club in possession Of
the proper. means. n ~

Many Of our farmers who have no spe-
cial place built for winiering their veeeta-
blss and fruit, store them 10 the cellar Of
fhc dwelling house. In order to keep
them from freezing there, the cellars are
banked up tightly in the fall. No venti-
lation Il provided for, and the only way
for the escape Of the noxious gases arising
from decaying vegetables Is through the
openings in the floor into the living rooms

Paid Ian. 8, 1878, by JOHN MCBRIDE.
hauufacturedby eOoDELL GwATERs, Phila


IN 1873 an attachment for common plow
Il was Invented by a practical farmer, that
can in ten minutes be connected with any
ordinary pillow, which changes it at once into
a complete sulky pillow. 1t consists Of one
large wheel which runs upon the land side, a
smaller one under the beam, and another
that runs in the furroE behind the plow.
These wheels carry the weight Of the pillow,
entirely removing the friction upon the bot.
tom and land side, one Of which, together
with the upright beam, regulates the width
and depth Of the furrow. Il Is provided with
an easy seat, enabling the driver to have at
all times both his pillow and team under his
control. Once set, its work is not easily
changed. The relieving Of the pillow from the
side and bottom friction results in reducing
the draught oyer 20 per cent; even when
carrying the driver the drasght 10 full twenty
per cent. less than that of the walking plos
with the driver trudging in the furrow behind.
II can be attached with equal ease to right
or left. hand pillow, and when properly attach.
ed, any one, male or female, who is old
enough to manage a team, can perform as
good work as the most skillful plowman can
do without it. A saving Of 10 per cent. Of the
draught is guaranteed.
IL is simple in construction, durable, easily
attached to the plov, and in every way per.
fectly adjustable. It is attached by means Of
clamps aud bolts, without cutting or boring
the beam, aud can be placed in position for
day's or weeks blowing in ten minutes by
any one with sense enough to handle com.
mon walking pillow, In going to or leaving
the field, the pillow IS raised by lever, and
the driver can ride as easily as on any Of the
expensive sulky plows. Its cost is so low
that any one having two or more acres to
plow, cannot afford to be without one.
ADVANTAGES.
1.-The draught is one-fifth lighter.
PHI is not necessary for farmer to have
two sets Of machines in order to do his
blowing, as he can change any ordinary walk
Ing pillow into q riding pillow.
B-it hna no draft pole and no strain on the
Attachment, but ths pillow is drawn by the
beam the sama "a without the Attachment
4-its price brings it within the reach. Of
all.
oh is the best Sulky Piow made.
