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 a
distance apart, rs they must be if the
grain is deep sown, and light spring rains
are followed by sudden freezes-a not
uncommon occurrence-thel lifting of the
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 as the preparation of the soil in
tluences 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
fined and made thoroughly mellow
again COMPRISING it so as to hold
moisture. The old idea of plowing
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,
but 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. = Clereland

Eggs VS.. Meat.

Would it not be wise TO substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily dietf
About one-third OF the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said of meat. There are
no bones, no tough pieces that have
to be laid aside. A good egg IS made
and thirty parts yelk. The white OF
an egg contains sixty-six per cent wa
ter, the yelk tifty-two per cent. Prac.
tically an egg is animal food, and yet
there is none of the disagreeable work
of the butcher necessary to obtain it.
The vegetarians of England use egg
freely, and many OF the men are
eighty and ninety years, and have been
remarkably free from illness. Eggs are
best when cooked four minutes. This
takes away the animal taste that is Of.
fensive to some, but does not harden
the white OF yelk so as to maze them
hard to digest. An egg ii cooked very
hard is dillicult OF digestion except by
those of stout stomachs; such eggs
should be eaten with bread and mas
ticated very finely. An egg spread on
toast is foo fit for king, ii kings de.
serve any better food than anybody
else, which is doubtful. Fried eggs
are less wholesome than boiled ones
An egg dropped into hot water is not
only clean and handsome. but de.

The Original Penny.

The old. old penny in England, rs in
other countries, was Of silver, and its
appearance throughout the earliest time
of its history would rather astonish
those who know nothing of numismatic
lore. From the Saxon times, when II
was tho only silver piece extant, till
those of Edward L., it was stamped with
a square cross. This enabled the coin
to be readily broken into halves or
quarters, which then served the
purpose of halfpence or farthings. But
the latter coin was not much inferior to
the value of the present English penny,
inasmuch as the unbroken piece was
valued Mt one-thirtieth of u mark, or
three pence sterling. At this time five
of them seem to have made shilling,
or shilling, so that the relations be-
tween what are now chief English sill
yer and bronze coins have entirely al
tered in the course of six centuries
King Edward, who reformed the coin
age, like everything else, was the first
to issue pennies without the indented
cross, and to make up for the loss of
the queer-shaped halfpennies and
farthings heretofore in use, sup
plementcd the silver coinage with cir
cular pieces, bearing the same value
and denomination. He fixed the stand
ard of the penny, moreover, by order
ing that it should weigh thirty-two
grains of well-grown wheat, or, what
was probably more accurate test, that
twenty pennies should weigh one ounce.

When to Water Horses.

Horses are provided with an unusually
large development of the salivary glands,
and an enormous quantity of saliva is
secreted during the eating of feed of
grain or hay. This copious supply of
saliva is amply sufficient to moisten and
dilute the food, so that it can be digest
ed perfectly without the help of water
Water is absorbed by the coats of the
stomach and enters the blood with such
rapidity that thirsty horse will drink
in two minutes considerably more water
than the stomach will contain at one
time, and the water begins to pass of
through the kidneys in such case after
the lapse of few minutes. So that,
knowing these facts one may reasona-
bly, infer that horse may be watered a
few minutes before feeding with more ad-
vantage than soon afterwards, because
in the former case the water has been
absorbed before the food is swallowed,
and digestion cannot be interfered
with by the presence of too much water
in the stomach, as might happen in the
latter case. The best practice is that
usually followed, viz, to give the horse
very little water on starting out to
work after feeding in the morning; to
water on coming in at noon and in the
evening, before Embarrassing and feed
ing. This gives time for the absorption
of the water before the food enters the
stomach.-RurdL Neic Yorker.

Mummy Wheat.

The stament is frequently made that
wheat has been raised from seed found
in Egyptian tombs which had been rest.
still retained vitality. There is no rea-
sonable doubt that grain was once
grown in England from seed supposed
10 be ancient Egyptian. The question
is whether the seed was in truth an.
cient. Grain is often found among the
articles deposited in the tombs. But il
is always, as far as known to Egyptolo-
gists, completely dead, resembling
charred grains, like roasted coilee, and
is easily pulverized to fine dust. No
attempt to grow it has succeeded, when
tried by Investigators for the purpose
of testing its vitality. 1t is therefore
believed that the grain supposed to be
ancient, which was grown by some one,
and which gave rise to the story, was
in fact modern. This is the more prob.
able from well-known and very COM
mon custom of the modern fellaheen
(or peasants) of Egypt. The sale oil
antiquities to travellers was formerly
extensive. before the Government be.
gan to suppress it. Small earlhen jars
of ancient unglazed pottery were com.
mon, and the Arabs knew that it always
added greatly to travellers s appre-
citation of an ancient object If it APP
peared TO be unopened and to conta n
something never seen by modern eyes.
Accordingly, they were in the habit Of
putting some grains OF wheat in one of
these bottles and closing the oritice with
earth, or with mummy rags and mum
my bitumen, and selling it for an un-
opened antiquity. So too, they made
ingenious little packages OF rolled mum.

and covered them with mummy btu.
men. Travellers in Egypt thirty years
ago were sure 10 see scores of these OBJ
jects, especially the pottery jars. which
the Arab would shake, to rattle the
contents, and sell for few piasters.
While it is impossible TO prove that
the old story OF mummy wheat grown
in England did originate in one of these
Arab deceptions, it is highly probable
that this, or some like trick, deceived o
traveller and his friends at home. 1t is
noteworthy that the story of tho growtl
OF the grain is very old one. and that
for forty years past no one has beer
able TO make any Of the ancient seeds
found in tombs show any signs OF life
