Changing Seed.

THERE seems to be no idea so thor
oughly believed in by experienced farm
ers than that it is a great benefit to
change seed occasionally; yet it is by
no means an indisputed fact, and we
know of some intelligent men, indeed,
some who stand among the most thor
oughly educated and experienced in the
farming business, who contend that this
supposed necessity for change of seed
is entirely imaginary.
We confess to sympathy with those
who think an occasional change neces-
sary; and yet we have so often found,
in the light of new and careful ex-
perience, that even practices very time
honored came to be abandoned, that
we are always willing to reconsider any
opinion, no matter how strongly held
The change is thought to be particular
ly useful in potatoes, and a change OF
seed in this article is generally made as
regularly as crops are rotated from year
to year. But one of our friends is very
emphatic in regard to the potato, that
no change of seed is required. He has
had one potato-that is one variety of
potato-year after year for ten years,
and they are as good as ever. In his
opinion it is not that variety is sick of
the ground that it sometimes gives out;
but that it is diseased from ordinary
unhealthy causes. 1t is simply a
change of an unhealthy stock for a
healthy one, and not wearing out OF
variety.
The matter has practical impor-
lance, as people often put themselves
to a great deal of trouble and expense
in order to make change in the seed.
If the suggestion made be in the line
of true reason for the supposed bene-
fits of change, proper care in saving
healthy seed will be as good as q
change. But we must be satisfied that
the suggestion is correct and that the
truth lies in the few experiments made.
There are two sides, and sometimes
several sides. to all questions OF this
nature. We have personal knowledge
of trials made by farmers forty and
fifty years ago. when the varieties of
potatoes generally cultivated by our
best farmers were comparatively few
to what they are now, and whose crops,
in using the same seed year after year.
became poorer and poorer. though
there was no apparent disease, and the
only remedy they had was change of
seed. Sometimes it was the same
variety obtained several hundreds of
miles awav-from the State of Maine,
for instance-and the yield was double,
the potato larger and the quality bet

stomach. By pouring medicines
through the nose in large quantities,
the horse cannot perform the act of
breathing without at the same time al
lowing the fluid to enter the lungs. If.
besides, the fluid contained undissolved
or irritating substances, the danger
would be increased.-Natio,sal Live

Sewing Winter Wheat.

WITH wheat more than almost any
other crop the preparation of the land
Is one of the determining influence.
which govern the yield of grain. It is
important that the surface soil should
be exceedingly well pulverized and the
land well cultivated and underdrained.
If the soil is rich, all right; if not, an
abundance of plant food must be fur
nished, and what is equally to the pur-
pose, this food be in condition for
immediate use. The wheat plant is q
delicate one which needs to be assisted
in the way suggested until it gets q
good start, when it will grow rapidly.
Many farmers turn down clover sod
for wheat, others allow wheat to follow
corn, especially if the land was madevery
rich for the latter crop. Where the land
is poor the former plan is doubtless the
better one. When the latter is pursued
some chemical fertilizer for wheat is
beneficial. In any case, the land for
best results must be well titled and sup
piled with plenty of available plant food
not too far removed from the surface.
The seed may be sown at the rate of
about two bushels per acre broadcast, or
one and fourth to one and half BUSH
els if drilled. The largest number of
cultivators throughout the country, &C
cording to testimony received at the
Agricultural Department, favor the use
of the drill, though there are circum-
stances when wheat drilled in will not
succeed, in instance of which is q rocky
or uneven surface. Some of our most
progressive farmers roll their land fresh
before the drill, solidifying the surface,
but leaving the soil loose underneath.
The best time for seeding winter
wheat remains an open question. The
disposition is in many sections to SOW
rather too early, especially on strong
soils in good condition. There is con-
siderable danger from the Hessian fly
with early-sown wheat. Losses, on the
other hand, are experienced every year
by too late sowing. A mean should be
chosen between the extremes, getting
the seed in the ground in time to permit
vigorous, not rank growth, before the
ground closes for the winter. A good
growth especially of roots, is needed to
secure the plants against loss in winter.
Much of the winter wheat that is kill
ed owes its destruction to imperfect
preparation of the land, though it is
often due to the tenderness of the plant.
In localities where the winters are long
and severe there is always risk in SOW
ing wheat in the fall. For such local
tiles the spring varieties are most profit
able.-N. Y. World.
