please give us some light about seed.sowing
and oblige. SUBSCRIBER.
Answer.-Our Montana farmers differ
somewhat as to the amount of seed that
should be sown. and our observations are
that many Of them raise light crops mainly
from not planting enough seed. Those
most successful do not use seeds sparingly
They are careful 10 SOW the best seeds. Of
wheat we recommended the sowing of at
least two bushels to the acre. and if the seed
be not very clean and good, it is better to
SOW % bushels. OF oats we would sow from
three to three and half bushels barley.

OUR NEW WHEAT COUNTRY.

The extent of the new Northwestern
its future production foreseen. 1t appears
to include nearly the whole of Dakota east
OF the Missouri river, and a considerable
portion Of the Western halt the Territory.
How far ncrth and west in Manitoba it
reaches will only be determined as settle
ment advances in that little known province.
One thing is to be borne III mind about this
region-it is the ultimate and permanent
wheat field of the continent. HE wheat
growing industry has been steadily moving
West tor more than halt a century. West
ern New York and Eastern Pennsylvania
were once the great wheat sections. Then
Ohio had its turn. Now tie counties of that
State which, forty years ago, shipped large
quantities of wheat to the East do not raise
enough TO supply their own population Will,
bread, Atterward, Indiana, Southern Mich
igan, Northern Illinois and Wisconsin made
wheat the chief crop, to be succeeded by
Iowa, and now by Minnesota, Nebraska and
Dakota The wheat belt cannot move much
further West. 1t will soon reach the great
grassy plains, where there Is not sufficient
rainfall tor successful agriculture. Beyond
the Rocky Mountains, in Oregon and Wash
ington Territory, a new wheat country of
immense extent is being slowly developed;
but on the Atlantic side of the continent, the
area where wheat farming is the chiet in
dustry, will not be pushed much beyond
the present limits of Dakota The rich
lands in the valley of the Red River of the
North. and the vast rolling plains of Dakota
and Manitoba, are evidently destined to be Il
permanent granary, like Hungary and
Southern Russia.-Ameiican Miller.

AN eminent chemist says it is known that
wheat contains water in greater or lesser
quantities, and that its amount is larger in
cold countries than in warm. For instance,
in wheat from Al>ace, the proportion OF wa
ter varies from l6 to twenty per cent. in
that from England from II to II per cent;
in that from the United States from ~ to IA
per cent; willie in that from Africa and
Sicily it amounts only from to II per cent
The superiority Of one kind OF wheaton
flour over another is known by its greater
ability to absorb water, and in general Amer
lean flour may be put down to absorb from
to 10 per cent. more OF water in being made
into bread than English wheat. The Eng
lish wheat is usually fuller and mere sound
than the American, owing to its being putted
up with moisture

These destructive pests are widespread in
our country. For this reason no one can
afford to neglect to protect young orchards,
especially against these borers. [ have
known whole orchards to go to ruin the first

sufficiently to be perfectly etiectual. The
carbolic acid mixture. unliMted with the

Is to be preferred TO the soap alone. A white
