Wheat Raising.

lnqulring OF q. &. Wilson, Esq, as to
the secret OF his marked success this year
in raising wheat, he gave US few sug-
gestions which may moi he uninterestlng
to farmers generally throughout the coun-
tY. He says the way to raise wheat here
in Olmsted county is first to sow the grain
with drills, setting the hoes sharp ahead
at the point, like plow, or in such man.
ner as to cause them TO dig deep into the
ground. This buries the grain to such
depth that drouth does not easily affect
the crop.
Second, the seed should be mixed with
clover seed. Being buried to the same
depth as the grain, it will not be killed
out by drouth in the spring, and will make
a good "catch" and shade the ground,
keeping it moist, preventing the chinch
bug eggs from Matching.
Third, Fife wheat should no longer be
sown in this county. Soft, bearded vari-
cites of wheat are more thrifty, sh ade the
ground better, aud withstand the sap
ping of the bugs. If these three points
are we'll observed, he says there is no
reason why moderate crop OF wheat
may not reasonably be expected every
year.
With regard to fall blowing, he says
the rule is to turn up about an inch addi-
tional new soil each succeeding year. He
says he would rather poy So per acre for
blowing in August than 10 have it done
in October for nothing. Weeds being
turned under rot and ferment: their seeds
come up and are killed by
frosts, and the following year
the ground is free of weeds and has the
benefit of the decayeu vegetation. Ifplow-
ed in October the seeds will rot sprout in
the fall, but come up with the crop in the
spring and choke it; the weeds and stu b.
bile do not rot properly, but lie in the
ground and dry out the soil, and ipjure
the crOp.-R0chester Post.

THE
White Sewing Machine.

w AlIe peWMg MACHINE.
ITS HISTORY AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
For nearly twenty years prior to
1876 the members Of this company
had been engaged in the manufact-
ure of sewing machines, principally
under contract with other persons
or companies, to and by whom, the
sale of their goods was controlled in
this and foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1876 an oppor-
tunity was offered to, and readily
accepted by, the members of the
company, whereby they sold all their
old machinery, tools, patterns, etc.,
to company that was DESTROYS to
manufacture for itself.
During the negotiations of this
sale a new machine and new COM
pany were conceived; and, stalking
our reputation as manufacturers, and
our prospects of success, on the
quality of our productions, we
launched the White Shuttle Sewing
Machine upon the market, and made
our first shipment in August, 1875.
With this brief summary of histo-
ry we would simply state few facts:
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands
pre-eminent among irst-class ma
chimes, for it's simplicity and light
running qualities. 1t is mechanical
fact that the White Sewing Machine
is made from the best material and
of excellent workmanship, and allits
wearing parts are adjustable, so that
lost motion can be "takcn up in an
instant. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the durability of the White Sewing
Machine is sustained by a written
warranty for five years. 1t is pro-
gressive fact that the White embo-
dies the most practical and useful
improvements Of other sewing ma
chimes, together with advantages
peculiarly its own.
1t is a gratifying fact that the
White gives universal satisfaction,
and that it is steadily and rapidly
increasing in public favor. This
fact is further substantiated by the
following statement Of sales, made
the third year Of its existence,
amounting to 54,s33 machines. No
other machine ever had such rec
ord Of popularity. For sale by J. A.
WALTERS, agent for none, but
dealer in all first-class sewing ma
chimes; also pianos and organs.
