uncommon occurrence-the lifting of tho
plant by the soil will sever the connec-
ton between the two roots. and the
wheat plant dies. Long experiment
has seemed to settle two things, that
wheat ground must be made very fine,
and very solid. TO prevent as far as
possible this heaving of the soil. This
solidity acts in two ways. keeps the
drill hoes from running too deep and
retains moisture longer than loose soil.
So far a the preparation of the soil in
liuences the growth of the wheat, it is
upon the side of deep breaking of the
soil and thorough pulverization. But
two things must be avoided in even
this, the throwing of the raw, unwork-
ed earth from below on top; and when
fired and made thoroughly mellow.
again COMPRISING it so as to hold
moisture. The old idea of blowing
deep for corn and shallow for wheat is
radically wrong, for the roots of each
do not mar the surface, and at this
point the fertilizers should he applied,
bat at the same time the stirring of the
soil should be deep to hold and retain
moisture. Deep breaking of the soil
not deep plowIng-reduces the water
level of plow lands and in part acts as
undertakings, without which, in some
farms, the cultivation of wheat must
often result in failure. CieceLdnd

Drilling Wheat.

1t is asserted that much of the failure
in securing uniform crops of wheat is
as often the result of too deep drilling
in the seed as from other causes. The
wheat plant has two sets of roots, one
at the surface or near it, and another
at the grain. If these roots are at n
distance apart, as they must be if the
grain is deep sown, and light spring rains

The adnlteration question is now fair
IL before the public mind Some two
years since Mr.. Angel. of Boston, made
some very grave assertions before the
Social Science Association as TO the ex-
tent of these authorizations. His method
was somewhat inexact and his manner
that of a bold enthusiast. Neyerthe-
less, he succeeded in doing that which
is the beginning oi most investigation
and a reform. lie excited controversy.
Eminent chemists. as Morton and Mich
OILS and Chandler. controverted his
statements or doubted their accuracy;
but Boards OF Trade were melted to ac-
tion in the line of honest inquiry.
Strong attempt was made to secure ac-
tive Governmental movement Mr..
Angel appeared before the Congress
sional Committee. and made very posi-
tive statements. which have been spread
bro3d east over the country. The Nation
al Board has made somewhat superficial
examination, and gives the opinion that.
while drugs are largely aduteraied. our
common ieods are not; also that many
OF the adulterants are harmless to
health. although frauds financially.
Some of the States. like New Jersey,
have passed laws as TO adulteration.
The New York Legislature has favor
ably reported bill of IA similar kind;
but il has been chiefly exercised over
glucose and oleomargarine Glucose.
although no; harmful. is great
fraud when compared with cane
sugar ia nutritlve value. Many OF
our sirups and some of our sugars
are largely glucose. Great quantities
OF honey are upon the market over
which the busy little bee never I'M

garine. its manufacture has become a
great industry. No doubt it can be
prepared so as 10 serve Is substitute
for butter, both in cookery and in table
use. II used for the latter purpose. As
very high temperature is not used in
its manufacture, there is some danger
from the ento2ua, some of which are
found IN fats and are transmissibIe to
man. There is no good reason why the
fats should not be subjected 10 high tenn
peratures. Ii seems quite necessary
that some system Of mSpectorship
should be adopted which will insure
right methods OF Insnuiacture, and the
marking OF packages so as TO distin-
guish from pure butter. In a late En-
glish trial the de endant pleaded that

A pnt.pp Job on the Passengers.

Last Sunday. as the eastern-b0rnd
Union Pacific express ran into the little
mining town of billiard, Wyoming.
there was observed man. who looked
as if he had all the bad elements of hu-
manitv combined in him. bound tightly
TO telegraph pole near the depot, by
rope. and two or three armed sentinels
standing guard over him. while a second
rope dangled gracefully and signifi-
cantly from the cross-trees. A short
distance from this group was another
party in the act of burying dead man.
who, they said. had just been cut down
from neishborng pole. The body
was almost covered with dirt. and only

was covered with a coarse gunny sack.
protruded. OF course, when il was
fully understood that this kind of proceed
ure was going on. the widest excite
ment prevailed throughout the train,
and disposition was manifested by
some of the ''nerviest passengers to
go out and rescue the poor victim from
the miners. and in fact an expedition
did go out aud ask the cause of the
high handed business. They were in
formed that the two men were notori-
Gus horse-thieves. and had infested that
region for long time, but had finally
been captured, and were simply UNDER
going the sentence prescribed for such
crime by his honor Judge Lynch. To the
philanthropic and humane passengers
this seemed barbarism. and thew offered
all the inducements in their power to
save the life OF the remaining culprit,
and allow him at least trial by jury.
1t was whispered con6dentially that
the miners liberated their prisoner on a
good round sum OF ransom money. and
their merciful mission ended, the pas
sengers put back to the train with
light hearts. and received the hearty
congratulations OF the whole train. who
lamented. nevertheless, the sad fate OF
the other thief who passed in his chips
Just few minutes before the arrival of
the express. The next day. when the
eastbound express came through, the
whole thing was given away by the in
habitants or billiard. who pride them
selves on ha.ing successfully carried
out one of the finest ''sells' ever per
petra,ed. The victim who had been
SO ruthlesslv planted. was nothing but
oyerals and a shirt stuffed with straw
and pair OF boots. The fellow who
came SO nearly being hung was nobody
but poor. innocent tramp, whom the
miners intended TO have little fun
with. and had no intention whatever OF
harming him. But report says that
billiard resounded far into the night
with unrestrained hilarity over the sue
cess of their put-up job, until the
ransom money was exhausted. Here

train will not show his head in billiard,

before the trade becomes so enormous
rs TO monopolize legislative influence.
As to less notorious authorizations. it is
to be remembered that it is an inviting
field for the cupidity of men; that the
world is growing more artistic and
being furnished with more skillful meth
DDS OF combination; and that We are not
toexpect radiance from such evils except
through rigid law and authorized watch
fulness. While harmless ingredients
are more naturally sought: yet, as in
the case of alum in bread, or acids in
baking powders, or colOrs for effect. the
mixer easily convinces himself that
small quantities will do no harm. The
National Board of Health recently CO.
operated with the New York Board of
the sanitary engineer in forwarding a
form OF law winch was deemed expedi-
ent, rs not being overstrict or strin-
gent, on the one hand. or too lax, on the
other. No one can note the marked
decrease of aduiteration which has
taken place in England. under system
oil public analysis. without feeling that
much the same course is desirable here.
The aiulterants used and the articles
adulierated will from time 10 time
change; but the practice will continue,
unless thus guarded. Most of our
cities are so satisfied OF the need as to
milk that special inspectors are ap-
pointed. Their experience shows that
the reality OF the evil is not overstated.
A report made last year by the New
York Inspector, and this year by the
New jersey Inspector, presents many
facts of importance.
Cider vinegar is now entirely too
scarce an article, and doubtful acids
a'ilict the stomach. There are still
other directions. newer than these. in
which the attention of analysts is now
being directed.
The authorizations which occur &c
drugs are admitted by all to be of a
serious character. If recovery from
sickness at all depends upon the use OF
proper medicines, ii is easy to see that
n fraud here may be attended with the
most serious consequences. We have
ourselves known two or three instances
in which life has been Jeopardized OF
lost because of the inertness of
and one of where convul-
sions were caused. The United States
of drugs is of some service,
but not alone sufficient. Opium needs 10
be carefully watched. Quinidia is often
sold for quinine. Bromide of potassium
has been substituted for the iodide
Ipecac is often found adulterated.
Rhubarb in powder cannot be relied
upon without examination. Cream oil
tartar. if needed for medical use, must
be carefully tested Many OF the less
CONSPICUOUS drugs have various forms
OF Justification. The subject is one oil
such grave importance that even those
who doubt the extent of food adultera-
tons insist upon a careful inspection
and testing OF the chief articles used as
medicines. We hope that the United
States Will pass some law that will
reach all of our foreign drugs, and that
we shall have more stringent regula-
tions as TO domestic medicines. We
commend careful attention to this
subject at this time, in order that
proper watchfulness and proper re-
straints may be secured--N \. hide
