Abandoning Wheat Culture.

A long succession of bad wheat
years has finally convinced the farm
ers of Southern Minnesota that they
must turn their attention to some
other branch of farming, Or they will
be starved out. AS rapidly as pos
sible, therefore, they are converting
their wheat fields into pastures and
meadows, and are engaging in stock
raising and dairying. Careful OBJ
servers report that but little more
than one.third the usual acreage of
spring wheat will be put in this year.
The farmers will SOW barley and oats,
and plant more corn and potatoes.
An effort is being made by those
interested in the wheat trade, and in
grinding it, to turn the tide and con-
vince the farmers that they still live
in a good wheat country, but we pre-
diet it will avail little. A year or
two of successful dairying and cattle
feeding will convince the people that
they have too long depended upon a
single crop, and that they can have
richer, more fertile and productive
and, hence. better paying farms, by
feeding out their grain and by market
ing it in more concentrated forms
Wheat culture must so West

Vennor's Weather.

II. q. VennUr makes the following
forecast of the weather during thu
summer of 1852 in his weather bul
letin:
/. \ season that will merit the de
SignatiOn of cool to cold and wet,
generally. Not that there will not
be terms of summer warmth and
even intense heat for periods, but
rather that these last will appear in
the retrospect dS of but comparative
insignilicance, or as the exceptions To
the general rule.
2. The season will be marked by
not only great precipitation, but by
Il mugginess of atmosphere, general
ly, caused by the reeking condition
of the earth and the long continuance
of clouded sky. This will result i'm
periods of extreme sultriness and
heavy weather, during which the
thunder and hail-storms will occur.
In other words, the summer will be
the reverse of clear and dry.
3. There is likelihood of June
and August frosts in Northern, West.
ern, and Southern sections, and q
general cold wave may occur toward
midsummer.
1. The autumn months will con.
tinue moist. September will prObab
ly give rains and floods in Western
Canada and i'm western and southern
sections of the United States. Octo-
Der will he much the same, with early
cold and snow falls. November will
begin the winter Of 1924 winter
likely to be memorable on account of
its exceptionally heavy snow falls
and very cold weather over the whole
northern hemisphere. That "a cold
and wet summer is invariably follow.
ed by cold and stormy winter" is a
truth now 80 well proven and borne
out by the testimony of past records
that we cannot lightly put it aside (;
and if we have good and sufficient
grounds for predicting the former
is we most assuredly have at this
time-it is but right that we should
warn the people of the latter in good
season.
S. The approaching season will
probably be the first of a couple of
wet summers, and as 1882 is, SO is
1883 likely to be. But here we must
stop for the present.

A Wonderful Telephone.

Mexican papers contain an accountof
an invention by scientific gentleman
of that country of a telephone which
easily carries the sound of the voice to
the distance of fifteen hundred miles.
One paper, in commenting on an inven-
ton which may well make North Ameri-
can inventors look to their laurels, says:
Until now no telephone apparatus has
been able, in the regular course of bust
ness, to transmit sound more than nine
ty miles. 1t is to be desired that the
Minister of Public Works will boldly
profit by the utilization of so notable and
useful an invention"

SAMARITAN NERVINE
SAMARITAN NERVINE

Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the habit
of Opium Eating. These degrading habits
are by far the worst evils that have ever be-
fallen suffering humanity. Thousands die
annually from these noxiOns drugs. The
drunkard drinks liquor not because no likes
IL, but for the pleasure of drinking and treat
ing his friends, little thinking that he Is on
his road to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he
first uses the drug In small quantities as II
harmless antidote. Tho soothing influence
of tho drug takes strong hold upon Its victim,
leading him on to his own destruction. The
habits Of Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking
are precisely what eating Is to nlimentive-
ness, rs ovcr-cuting first infamcs the stom-
ach, which redOubies its cravings until 1t
paralyZes both the stomach and appetite.
So every drink of liquor or dose of opium,
instead of satisfying, only adds to its fierce
fires, until 1t consumes tho vital force and
then itself. Like the gluttOnous tape worm,
it cries. Give, give, give !" but never
enough until its own capacity devours itelf
Samaritan Nervine gives instant relief In all
such cases. 1t produces sleep, quites the
nerves, builds up the nervous system, and re-
stores body and mind to Il healthy condition.

Location of Barns.

Farmers often locate their barns
on somewhat low land 50 that they
will he out of the way of the prevail
ing winds, and consequently quite
warm. Since SiloS were introduced
many have recommended building
barns at the base of hills 80 that
il will be easy to take ensilage from
SiloS dug in the sides Of the hills.
Others choose the decieVity of hill
for the site of Il barn because it is
easy to draw hay into it. There are,
however, strong arguments against
locating BARNS OH low land, especially
II the loot of hill. Ii is difficult
to secure pure air i'll such locality,
anu pure ali Is us essential To horses,
cattle and sheep as il Is TO human
br.ugS. \ barn will be warmer If il
Stands out of the way OF the wind,
bat il will he likely To contain foul
air which will be injurious to all the
aI.imals kept in it. n barn should
he So located that good drainage can
he secured without much, If any,
trouble or expense. There should he
no Stagnant water below or around
it that will give off bad gases to in
jure stock. The yard attached to it
should he quite dry at all seasons of
the year. 1t should have sunny
exposure and be partly covered for
the protection of stock during severe
storms. II Il barn stands Oh very
low land, the soil around it will be-
come saturated with matter that will
be constantly giving off foul odors,
which will be inhaled by animals
greatly to their injury. 1t is not
necessary to place barn where the
first churches in New England stood,
on the summit of the highest hill
in the neighborhood-but they should
he located where the natural drainage
is good, and where there is free
circultion of air.
The interest of sheep husbandry
in Kansas has i'm the last two years
Increased rapidly. The bOundless
ranges of pasture land in the west
are just receiving recognition, and
sheep are being brought in in large
numbers. The increase since March,
1880, has been rapid. In that year
the assessors returns gave as the
total number OF sheep in the State.
426 ,492; in 1881, $685. 1923: while the
estimates of reliable sheep-men place
the number, March l, 1882, at 1000.
