The old method of broadcast
sowing of wheat Is fast being su-
perseded by the superior one Of
drilling the grain. The drill Sc
cures unifori1ity of depth, and by
putting all the grains in a proper
place for growth, there is a saving
in the amount of seed 70 be used;
elk pecks of good plump grain
land no other should be used) is
sufficient per acre, IL sowed with a
drill. Much depend upon the vari.
ETY. Of seed sown, and the farmer
should make a study Of this matter,
to determine which is the best kind
Of wheat for soil and locality.
Early sowing is the best. epcept
when there is danger iIom the Hes
sian fly. Late sowed wheat makes
such a poor growth before the
frosts come that it is not in good
shape for winter, and is not sure OF
giving even a fair crop.

The PASSENGER Rate War.

Burlington Hawkeye: 1t is with
a heavy heart and gloomy forebod-
ings that the country looks at the
dishearteniDg spectacle of a rail
road war, and weeps over the pitt
less slaughter of passenger rates.
When will these inhuman strifes
cease, that man may pay full rates
Ouce more, without being haunted
by the terrible fesr that be may be
offered a ticket from New York to
Chicago for $l.37? May the i'm
mortal gods save the unhappy re-
public.

The Small Bows Explanation.

Angelica had invited her "best
young man" to the evening meal,
Everything had passed off harmoni-
ously until Angelica's 7-year-old
brother broke the blissful silence
by exclaiming:
"Oh. ma! yer oughter seen Mr..
Lighted the other night, when be
called to take Angie to the drill; he
looked so nice, sittin' long side of
her with his arm"
"Fredw screamed the maiden,
whose face began to assume the
color of well-done crab-quickly
placing her hand over the boys
mouth.
"Yer oughter seen him. con
tinued the persistent informant
after gaining his breath, and the
embarrassed girls hand was re-
moved; "he had his arm"
"Freddie2" shouted the mother,
as in her frantic attempt to reach
the boys auricular appendage she
upset the contents of the teapot in
Mr.. Lighted's lap, making nu-
merous Prussian war maps over his
new lavender pantalcons.
81 was just goin' to say" the
halt-trightened boy pleaded be-
tween a cry and an injured whine,
she had his arm"
"You boyI" thundered the father,
"away to the wood she'd"
And the boy made for the nearest
exit, exclaiming as he waltzed, 81
was only goin' to say Mr.. Lighted
had his army clothes on, and I'll
leave TO him If he didn't"
And the boy was permitted to re
turn and the remainder of the meal
was spent in explanations from
the family in regard to the num-
ber of times Freddie had to be
"talked to" for using his fingers
for a ladle.

Winter rye will furnish a good
crop for ploughing under, and may
be sOwn any time from August to
November. Where it is sown early
it can be pastured for short time
during the late fall season, and
then gives a very good crop to turn
under in the spring. Oats make a
quick and heavy growth where late
sowing is practiced. AS soon as
your land is in condition to pro
duce clover, there is no better crop
to SOW for green manure to plough
u1der. Green manuring can hardly
be too highly recommended. The
soil is shaded and the land covered
with clean crop that keeps it from
foul growths from the time one
crop Is taken of until another is
put in the ground.
