In the spring wheat section Iowa shows a
decreased acreage, but the prospects for a
good crop were never better. Many Iowa
farmers are thoroughly discouraged in the
attempt to raise wheat, and it is supposed
that the acreage amounts to twenty per
cent less than last year. In the older wheat
growing parts Of Minnesota there is de-
crease Of acreage, although the crop prom
ises well. In the northern wheat belt, how
ever, the increase Of acreage sown to wheat
is simmense, and the crop looks finely. Wheat
raising in Wisconsin is in transition state.
The acreage of spring wheat is decreased
somewhat. and the crop generally through
out the State seems to be in good condition.
Dakota's increased acreage is estimated at
nearly thirty-fi per cent, and wheat looks
well. Nebraska reports an increase of tif
teen per cent. in her spring wheat acreage
with excellent prospects. american Miller

FRENCH FOWLS.

1t is everywhere admitted that the people
OF France have brought the breeding Of
poultry, for table use and for laying quail
ties, to greater perfection than have those of
any other country. We do not mean to be
understood as saying that the fowls of the
French brought here or to England will
prove better than some of the varieties we
have, hut that the French get more eggs
and more meat per fowl tor a given ex-
pense than we do there is no doubt. 10
people who judge of the quality OF poultry
by the color of their legs, the French poul-
try, in market, would not prove attractive,
for their fowls are nearly are nearly all dark
legged.
The three French birds best known to
Americans are named in their order OF pref
erence, we think, the La Fleche, the Creye
C9ur and the Houdan. Several of our fam
ciers are now breeding them, but they do
not seem to gain SO rapidly in public favor
as one would anticipate from their well
known merits at home.
The La Fleche is large and tall, with q
SSh D~SAa s'oo9y PiAAAuSSa iCsa ioSO slHt
white ears, and has peculiar hooking
horned comb, which gives them a rather
ferOcious look.
The Creve Ceur is also large and black
and not so tall and is more squarely built
They have rather pleasine crest; are good
layers of medium sized eggs.
The Houdan is the best known ef the
three in the West. They are good layers
and are most excellent for the table. Plum
age white and black, spangleL, small crest,
large and plump in form; legs (skin) pink,
and the foot has a fifth toe like the D,rk
ng-a fowl that it resembles in many re-
spects.
None OF these fowls can be considered as
hardy as the Plymouth, nor as good layers
as the Legborns and some others, yet, when
well cared for are meritorious birds tor all
purposes. 1t would be we'll. we are "on-
vinced, If more of our ordinary farm fowls
had a dash of French blood in them. .---P,,ai-

SETTING AND HATCH1NG OF EGGS.

There is frequent complaint Of eggs not
Matching, even when they are gathered CT
the immediate premises. This failure is
owing to many causes. The eggs should be
properly fertilized. without which it would
be useless to set them. Open an egg and
examine it closely The germ will be found
to exist in the small, round, white spot,
about the size of a small pea, that is seen
on the surface of the yolk, and is generally
uppermost. If not seen on the top, reverse
the yolk, when it will be found underneath.
The outside edges of this germ are thin and
more transparent than the center, 1t the
germ has been properly fertilized. The hen
used for Matching should be gentle and care
full, as one that is rough and breaks eggs
will be an Indifferent setter.
The nest may be arranged tor her, and II
she be of quiet, tractabe disposition, may
be removed to suit convenience. The nest
should be rather fat than dishing, So that
the eggs may not roll into the middle and
pile one on the top of another, when the
under ones do not obtain an equal share OF
warmth. II given sufficient room, a good
setter will arrange the nest herself and take
care of the eggs with little or no watching.
A cross of Brahma blood with some Euro
pean variety that sits (say third Or quar-
ter Asiatic). have found to make the best
of settlers, and better the first year, when
pullets than the second One-half Dorking
makes large and easily managed settlers.
After the eggs have been incuoated week
or ten days they should be candled, and
those not ferlilized renewed to make more
room for the ones that have life in them.

set pulet on fourteen eggs this spring, ana
she brought out every one, and makes % SUI
perior mother.
There Is vast difference In chickens and
the treatment thereof, the difference varying
with the breed for hardness and rapidity Of
growth. There are, perhaps, no sturdier
chicks than the Brahmas and their crosses,
and yet the pure bloods are delicate and
long time in feathering. Where one can
handle dimiuutive birds there are no harder
chicks than the Leghorns and games. They
feather early. The first week is the only
difficult period Of their chickenhood, and,
with proper care and feod, they grow
rapidly, feather quickly, and come to ma
turity earlier than any other variety. Two
breeds will never agree. A lover and breeder
Of Brahma fowls will never be successful
with the smaller birds. Size is looked for
where it cannot exist One-third Leghorn
blood on the Brahma makes better settlers
than either alone, but they are enly good
for settlers.
The period OF incubation will vary some
hours, according to the temperature of the
weather. When warm the chicks move
ments in the she'll can be visibly discovered
by holding the egg close to the ear on the
twentieth day. The i,nprisned birds will
frequently peep Justify in the sheel before
breaking it. This is an Indication Of
strength and health. AT this period it is
highly important to have good setter, one
that remains quiet, with only motherly
cluck occasionally. An impatient, nervous
sitter frequently, in her cadeavors still the
cry, brushes in The egg and destroys the
chick. A good sitter that does not break
her eggs is generally good hatcher, and
this is very important.Co Country Gen

A LARGE sum Of money is lost annually
by our farmers in experimenting in fruit
growing. Our advice to them has always
been to try only the hardy varieties, and we
would repeat the same adnonition. Il is
well enough for those farmers who have
made an abundant success of small fruits to
experiment with apples, pears, etc, and
when they have demonstrated the success
of Siberian crabs, Astrakhan, and one or
two other hardy varieties, to go still further.
But the general farmer, who is only pro-
posing to grow fruit for his own use and
has not even small fruit orchard, is foolish
to be experimenting with trees that are so
easily killed. We would say to farmers,
plant largely of geoseberries and cnrrants,
and moderately of other berries, and then
try the harder apples, but do not waste
money in wild experiments until good
supply Of such fruits as never fail is first
obtained. -@.9.

THE PROSPECT FOR WHEAT.

Advces frem every quarter of the country
up to May 80. renew the promise of bonn-
tiful wheat crop In nearly every part OF the
country. or course in a land so wide as
ours, it is not to be expected that the crop
of apv one year should be uniformly good.
That of two years ago was phenomenal in
this respect, and we need not look for
another one right away. In Illinois very
considerable amount of damage was infiict-
ed by the storms and floods, and by the ar
nv worm. The winter wheat area of the
state is ten per cent. less than last year, but
the condition of the crop promises an ln-
creased weld per acre of at least one-thlId.
Indiana has an increased acreage Of ten per
cent. and the yield promises to be splendid.
The injury done by fiost in Ohio and in
parts of Kentucky and Indiana is now
known to have been exaggerated, and the
prospects of large yield in Ohio are also
good. Michigan also has an increased wheat
area. and prospects are excellent. Missouri
and Kansas also promise largely increased
WELD ever last year. The wheat harvest
has already commenced in Texas, and the
Secretary of the Dallas Board OF Trade says
that this year has been the best year for all
kinds of crops since 1871.

MANY make the mistake when manuring
trees, of putting manure too near the trunk.
1t should be remembered the feeders are
near the extremity of the roots. and the ma
nure should be applied where it can be best
reached by them. 1t the roots of vigor-
Gus tree eight or ten feet high should be
uncovered, it would be found they extended
nearly the same distance from the tree in
every direction. To give the best results,
then, the size OF the tree sheuld be taken
iAto account. A good way is to dig trench.
say two feet wide, half as far from the stem
as the tree is high, into which goodly
quantity of manure may be spaded. II the
turf has been removed it should be replaced.
A little manure may also be spread on both
sides Of the trench to advantage.

RASPBERRY CULTURE MADE EASY.

1t is source ofconstant regret with farm
ers that small fruits require so much care
and attention, and that, too, in the season
when they are hardest at work at something
else. Field work must be done at all events.
and so the berry patch'' struggles on sin
gle handed with weeds and grass, till it sub.
mits to the inevitable sward.
Some years ago, coming into possession of
patch of black cap raspberries that had
received the usual shiftless culture, | treated
them in the following way After carefully
blowing and hoeing them, / covered the
ground With heavy layer of barnyard ma
nure, and the work was done, not only for
that year, but for the two years following,
only renewing the mulch each spring. Only
few Struggling canada thistles will ever
grow through such mulch !; the soil is al
ways rich and moist, and the berries can ask
no better treatment. Since that time, have
tried the same plan without removing the
sod and gnd that the result is quite as satis-
factoay. Late as it is in the season now,
any raspberry plot can be reclaimed hy a
liberal application from the horse manure
pile. Farmers, try it, and you will not need
to complain that berries cost more than they
are Worth.-EG.

growing is to plant out hedge of Willows
or cottonwoods tor wind-break. This will
shelter trees and shrubs from the chilling
winds, which are far more detrimental to
orchards than cold weather. The hedge

The Fur Seal Industry.

A representative of a New London,
Mass, paper obtained an interview with
a gentleman who has had long experience
in the fur seal business, and is authority
on everything connected with that i'm
pOrtant industry. He stated that there
are present indications that the fur seal
business has got to 60 through severe
decline in price. 1t has been subjected to
numerous ups and downs since the year
1921. Shetlands at one time sold at $48,
and within ten years were unstable at
81. In 1879 and 1880 Alaska and other
fur seals obtained the highest prices for
twenty years. In 1881 the Decline began,
and the sales for Cooper and Bearing
Island seal in March, 1882, was fOrty-four
per cent. less that the preceding year,
Alaska twenty-five per cent. and Cape
Horn fifty per cent. New seal grounds
have recently been discovered, which will
make the future supply abundant, and
will tend to reduce the price. In British
Columbia this year there are upward Of
twenty colonial steamers engaged in the
fur seal fishery, and the catch is enor-
nous, being estimated as high as ESQ.,
600 for the season. Seal have also been
found in large quantities in the Japan
Sea, of excellent quality, and the yield is
said to be unlimited.

Next in Importance to intelligence,
good morals and agreeable dispositions
in the adOrnment of American homes
comes decoration. First in Importance
in decoration is good paint for outside
and inside use. Concerning paints the
following suggestions are offered: l..
They should be prepared for use by ex-
perts, and should bear the name Of some
manufacturer whose reputation is be-
yOnd question. 2. Their cOlOrs should
be modern, varied, rich and bright. B..
They should be free from all tendency to
crack. flake or chalk off. 4. They
should make surface which will with
stand the elements many years. e., be
extremely durable. 6. They should be
applied by skillful painters in order to
secure the best results. Z. The Sher-
win-Williams Paints possess these i'm
portant qualities. and are in every way
suitable for home decoration. s. Buyers
should carefully investigate and note all
facts before purchasing. Post & Van
Arsdale will give all information about
them.

Waiting the touch OF a master hand
Aud thought of the hearts so like the organ |;
Hearts that are aching with silent pain,
Because their strings are burdened with music,
And they cannot utter a single strain.
And the world looks on, and never guesses,
The sounds that would be sweet and grand
II the waiting keys could only answer
To the touch OF master hand
Sounds as sweet as the angels peans,
Notes as z lad as the rushes sing,
Are hid in their silent hearts forever
Waiting-the masters lingering.

Silently walk through this vale OF doubt.
Their hearts are trimming with heavenly
