PIGS FOR NEXT YEAR.

many farmers fattcu all the sows which

this years pigs for breeding next year.
But Il 10 mot good policy to kill any SOW
which has proven herself to be good
breeder and . safe suckler. Trouble
and defeat Of the whole years crop Of
pigs often occur BY relying on young
and reckless sows. And there is anoth.
q good reason why good and safe
breeding sows should be saved another
and probably several years. They bring
stronger and better pigs, which start Cd
better, and keep ahead in the race Of
lattening. The price of q good sow

DEPTH OF SOWING WHEAT.

Farmers who are wide awake aud
given "a investigation do not sow SO
much wheat to the acre as they former
ly did, and they do not SOW il SO deep.
The great heavy harrows of ten or
twenty years ago are not now employed
by them in covering seed, and the drill
which eau be depended on better. is be-
coming universally popular. In broad
cast sowing, after the ground is thor
oughly prepared, the Thomas smoothing
harrow coverc the seed deep enough. A
Wisconsin writer gives the result Of an
experiment In planting at different
depths-on the surface, ono fourth inch,
one-half inch, three-fonr.hs inches deep
came up in four or Ave DAVIS aud so on,
eettiugllater as the depth increased. The
last to come up was planted three and a
half inches deep, and was fourteen days
u reaching the surface. At the end OF
ak weeks that planted one-fourth TO
ope-half inch deep stood far ahead Of
the rest.

the lead, and should be followed by the
black walnut, white ash and other hard

A GUSHING BOOM.

Roscoe Conkling once upon time,
between drinks at a dinner party,
nominated Exodus Window for the
Presidency. And the Mankato Free
Press, has bridled and saddled him
for the fray at Chicago. Listen to
the gushing groom:
"Blaine is booming, and Sherman
is pulling up with a mighty oar,
while the lights in Grants gallant
ship are going down over the distant
waters. The sons of Maine and
Ohio, both valiant knights, with vi
sors down, will make helmet and
breast plate ring with shivering Ian
ces. While this death-grapple pro-
ceeds in the presidential ampithea
tire, Conkling, of New York, like a
Roman athlete, will step into the
ring and shy his castors (thirtyfive
solid votes) for William Window, OF
Minnesota. The Star of the North
will quickly respond, then Iowa, fol.
lowed by the whole Northwest, while
the South will rise shouting in their
seats. The huzzas will 60 up above
the din of Chicago's roar, the dead
gladiators will be carried out, and
the curtain will be rung down."

Neglectful Christians and sinners
of every grade are earnestly exhort.
ed to embrace the golden opportuni-
ty offered to them, and we'll may the
words of the great prophet 1saias be
addressed to them:
"seek ye the Lord, whilst He may
be found; call upon Him while He is
near. Let the wicked forsake bis
way, and the unjust man bis
thoughts, and let him return to the
Lord and He will have mercy on
him, and to our God for He is boun'
tiful to forgive"
As this is tho season of Lent, there
is none more appropriate for our lis
tening to the pressing invitations o.
most merciful God, who wants tut
sinner to live, and not to perish.
