4 Fatal Wedding Day.

It has been an open secret for some
time among their intimate acquaint-
ances that Mr.. Douglass Warwick, OF
Richmond, and Miss Nellie Burweu, OF
Franklin County, were betrothed and
they were to have been married about
the first of this month. Everything
was in readiness on the evening ap-
pointed for the wedding and carriage
was sent to the depot to meet the eX-
pected bridegroom, but instead of the
gentleman a message came, stating that
sudden illness prevented his presence
and asking that the wedding be de-
ferred. Three times successfully it was
postponed for the same reason. But
last Weduesday-when for the third
time everything had been prepared for
the nuptials-came the most cruel blow
of all. Twas but natural that the
young lady should have felt some trep-
idation at the approach of the carriage
that had thrice failed to fulfill its mis-
sion-and the sad sequel proves that
her apprehensions were not groundless.
Instead of greeting her future husband
she received a telegram conveying the
shocking intelligence that he was dead.
Let us draw veil upon the scene that
followed, for the poignant grief OF
widowed bride is too sacred to be eX-
posed to the curious gaze of an unsym-
pathetic world. Miss Burweu was very
popular among her acquaintances, and
her sad misfortune elicits the deepest
sympathy from all who knew her.-Big

How TO TELL Coon PoTATo. Take o
sound potato, and paying no attention to
its outward appearance, divide it into two
pieces with your knife and examine the eI-
posed surfaces. If there is so much water
or "juice" that seemingly slight pressure
would cause it to fall off in drops, You may
be sure it viii be "soggy after it is boiled.
These are the requisite qualities for good
potato which must appear when one is cut
in two: For color, yellowish white; il
it is deep yellow the potato will not
cook well; there must be considerable
amount OF moisture, though not too much;
rub the two pieces together and white
froth will appear around the edges and
upon the two surfaces; this signifies the
presence OF starch, ) and the more starch, and
consequently froth, the better the potato,
while the less there is the poorer it will
cook. The strength of the starchy ele-
mont can be tested by releasing the hold
upon one piece of the potato, and il it still
clings to the other, this in itselfis q very
good sign. These are the experiments
made by experts, and they are
ordinarily willing to buy on the strength
of their turning out well, though these
tests are by no means infallible.

The BEST FARM HORSE. Years age
when faster horse than what then existed
was desirable, there was reason in the at
tempts to improve the speed of the animal,
but there is hardly doubt that the good
of the farmer has been nearly altogether
lost sight Of in order to get horses Of great
speed. The best farm horse is the strong
horse, the one that can step out lively, and
has endurance to go through days work
without great fatigue. The business OF
raising fast horses is altogether distinct
from the business OF the farmer. 1t is q
source Of excitement to see horse race.
but when the farmer thinks the horse he
sees racing is the one lie ought to have on
his farm he makes mistake. The heavy
Norman horse would be more profitable
than the one that was simply racer. -

AMERICAN WHEAT FIELDS.
The Growth of Wheat Culture in the
United States.

The Growth of Wheat Culture in the
United States.
Cincinnati Commercial
The progress in wheat culture in the
United states possesses much interest,
and especially in view of the high
price which it now brings, as CON-
pared with few years ago.
As recently as 1850 only about g.
100000 acres of land in this country
were devoted to wheat culture. By
1876 the acreage had increased to
about 20.000,0O0 and in 1880 to about
38,000.000.
In New England in 1880 only about
80 600 acres were planted in wheat, vet,
Notwithstanding the rocky character
Of the soil, careful cultivation has made
it produce on the average Isl bushels
to the acre.
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Him
OILS together have an aggregate of about
100000 acres in wheat, and the pro
duct from these in 1880 was about
1S0,000,000 bushels.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota.
and Nebraska constitute the spring
wheat belt. In these 100000 acres
were, in 1880, planted in wheat, and
the yield was about 100000 bush
els. or ii bushels tothe acre.
During ten years the yield in the
spring wheat belt was increased only
"a, 100000 bushels, while during the
same period, the increase in the Weld
in the four states of Michigan Indiana.
Ohio and Illinois was about 100000
bushels. The small increase, and the
small average yield per acre in the
spring wheat belt is regarded rs an ar
gument supporting the assertion that
a continuous cropping for wheat with
out fertilization or rotation will de-
crease the yield, and is also an evil
dence that old land will in time have
TO be abandoned, and the wheat-felds
moved farther west, or a rotation of
crops, alternated with clover, be adopt
ed. The increase in the four middle
states shows the effect of better Guilt
walton, and the use of improved agri-
cultural machinery.
There are a number of counties in
the several states yielding more than a
million of bushels each. In the ag-
gregate yield, Colusa county, California,
goes ahead of all others in the union.
in 1879 producing 4, 5000 bushels, an
average of ia bushels per acre; but in
the average yield per acre Stark county,
Ohio, occupies the front rank, produc-
ing "a 7-10 bushels per acre. Michi-
gan has seventeen counties that, in
1880, yielded over a million bushels of
wheat; Illinois, eleven counties; Ohio.
seven counties-Darke, 1,070,2 BUSH
els; Hancock, 1,063,019; Pickaway,
100000; Sandusky, LOGS, OPS; Seneca,
1,514.522; Stark, $4,000, and Wayne,
1,259, S34-and Indiana four counties.
1t is estimated that the wheat yield
of TIE United States will this year be
between 350O00,000 and 4OO,0OOOOO
bushels, or between 75,000,OOO and
l25,OO0,000 bushels short of last
year.

A Smart Young Woman.

Says the Visalia (Cal.) Delta: A
young man in the neighborhood had
lately taken up one hundred and sixty
acres of land, built house upon it, a
barn, bored wells, dug bitches, sowed it
in wheat, and in all spent hundreds of
dollars upon it. 1t happened to be a
dry season, and the crop failed. He
became discouraged, and offered his
claim at sacrifice. A young lady
gave him one hundred dollars for his
right, title and interest in the land and
everything on it. The winter rains
came, and with them come the vol
unteer crop, which matured and has
recently been cut, yielding twelve
bushels per acre on one hundred and
twenty acres. She will clear at least
81 800, besides having the land and
the improvements.
