Importance Of Thorough Prepara-
ton.

In the Ohio Crop and Stock Re-
port for May, 1881, Secretary Cham.
berlain published a "wheat map" o.
the State, showing by counties the
conditions of the crop for 1880 and
1881. Most of the lessons which
Mr.. Chamberlain deduces from this
map are, of course, Of service mainly
to Ohio farmers, but the following
paragraph, which we quote from it,
applies to "all crops" everywhere,
and is especially worthy of study
just now, by every farmer who grows
wheat:
"Another lesson drawn from the
wheat map and from the uniform
testimony of our own township cor
respondents is, that we must have
early, thorough and proper previous
tillage to insure good crops. Wheat
that got good stand last fall is in
splendid condition now. That which
was sowed late, or on late-plowed
land, will be a light crop, and with
two weeks severe weather in March
or early April, would have been a
downright failure The drouth last
fall prevented proper germination in
many fields. But wherever the ground
was plowed by the first of August,
or earlier, and properly worked and
"fned" and compacted, and then
sowed before the 10th of September,
on reasonably good ground, with
good seed, the termination was per-
feet, o fine stand was obtained, and
the wheat was safe. And such is
usually the case. AS rule, we have
less to fear from reasonably early
sowing than from late-less from fly
than from winter-killing- And al
ways, and on all scils and in all sea-
sons, we have md bt to fear from a
late -plowed, coarss ill.prepared seed
bed. With such seed-bed, neither
stable manures nor commercial fer
tilizers have their proper effect. Both
require fine, moist soil to bring out
their full value. AS a rule, it will
not pay for an Ohio farmer to put in
thoroughly and we'll. Indeed, this is
doubtless true Of all crops every
where, but especially SO of the wheat
crop in Ohio.
The uniform testimony of our cor
respondents is, that where the wheat
was put in early and we'll, in well
prepared soil, especially where stable
or yard manure or commercial fertil
izers were used, the crop will be ex
cellent. Some years wheat succeeds
under poor farming. The final and
most important lesson of this years
crop seemS likely to be, good farming
pdus.

mistake the demands of almost all
small grain. Generally they think
the more seed, the larger yield, when
the very reverse is the case. There
are seeds that send up but one stalk
and require to be sown thick /; there
are others, like some of the grasses,
that do better on sod thickly matted
but wheat, oats, rye and barley show
very clearly their repugnance to being
sown too thick by their failure to
stool out and make many stalks from
one grain. When sown broadcast or
with drill, 30 pounds of good seed
per acre should be the maximum all
ouer the country upon all land that is
in any way adapted to its growth.
Many farmers have made extensive
experiments in thin sowing, and in
one single case were the conditions
were favorable and the culture carried
out on scientific principles, has there
been failure to produce from so to
6000-fold. Well authenticated re-
ports are on record when 40, 80, Is
and even seven and a half pounds
sown per acre have produced three,
four and even six times as much as
any 90pounds ever did. Every good
kernel should make at least 20 good
heads and every head at least 40
grains-800-fold This shows the
nature and habits of the wheat plant.
I have known one kernel to produce
181 good heads each and these turned
out an average Of 81 kernels each or
6,697 kernels in all. In this county
last year 76 kernels of my Hybrid No.
10 (weighing 81 grains Troy planted
on 76 square feet and cultivated, pro-
ducing 10l pounds avoirdupois--
nearly 1,400 fold.
On these grounds in small plots
well cultivated last year no one OF
the 67 varieties sown produced less
than 56-fold, all without any fertilizer
whatever. Then in all reported ex-
periments that have been made in
sowing wheat thin on large as well
as small tracts, it has paid twice as
much as the extra labor cost.

Make Allowance for Losses.

Breeders Gazette.
A failure of many writers for the
agricultural press, but not at all con-
fined to them, is in making their CAL
culations on maximum yields; not
allowing for failures or losses which
are inevitable in large operations.
Ono stalk of corn weighs 80 many
pounds; so many can be grown on
an acre multiply the two-product
the expected yield per acre. One
cow gives forty pounds of milk in
one day; to find the yield and profits
ftom herd of fifty cows, some would
say you have only to multiply 1000
by the price of milk per pound.
IOne of the editors of this paper
has just had his attention called to
the fallacy of such calculations
by q series Of incidents and un.
toward events. A good cow got her
head fast and was hooked by others
until her recovery was impossible.
A good calf, after thriving nicely for
a week or two, sickened and died.
A fine Berkshire SOW, from which
much was expected produced a litter
of only three pigs and lost two of
these. And so of lesser things
from sitting of choice Plymouth
Rock eggs, four chickens are the pro-
duct. These things are not the rule,
of course. The other cows and calves
are doing well and if the other hens
do decline to set they are surprising
ly nearly fulfilling that maximum of
product-an egg day for each hen.
These losses reduce profits, but they
might have been much worse, and we
are nof at all discouraged.

Two notable instan ees of success
full farming are mentioned in the cur
rant issue of the Farm Journal. One
is that of +. M. Dtnison, of Albany
county, New York, who upon forty
five acre farm, made last year net
profit of $2,l63,OO, The other is
that of Geo. L. Mitchell, a New Jer-
sey truck farmer, whose profits last
year, from "a farm of less than sixty
acres, q portion being TIMBER"
amounted to $l,l2s,27. In each of
these cases, the labor was mainly
performed by the owner and two sons,
so that the amount mentioned as
profits represents the wages received
for their labor, and the interest on
the farm investment. In the case of
Mr.. Denison, allowing the father $25
and the sons each $40 per month for
wages, 1t leaves a net profit OF nearly
S3l per acre, or something more than
10 per cent. upon a valuation of $500
per acre. Mr.. mitchell, On his come
what larger farm, received about 10
per cent. upon : valuation of 1895
per acre. Surely either of these may
be cited as an instance of successful
farming and an illustration Of the
benefits Of "a little farm well titled"

Vicks Magazine,
From the last of this month until
the middle of August, according to
locality, it will be seasonable to SOW
turnips for late crops. The land
ought to be clean and rich, and made
mellow. Sowing in drills so that the
cultivator may be used is far the bet
ter way. One of the best varieties
for late keeping is the Strap-Leaf
Red Top, and at the same time fine
grained table variety and a heavy
cropper, and valuable for stock.feed-
ing.
New White Egg is an excellent
sort that may be sowed later than
most other varieties and will vet
perfect a crop. If for any reason
sowing should be delayed, this kind
should be selected to make the crop.

A Bushel from Every Pound.


Professor A. l. Blount.
That o bushel of wheat, on an
average all over the country, should
be produced from every pound sown
ought to be fact, and not an express
sion in SO many words. That bushel
Can be raised from every pound of
wheat sown under all ordinary cir
cumstances is a fact that farmers
should verify every season. So long
as they SOW 80 to 120 pounds per
acre, generally on poor land or on
land poorly prepared, there will al
ways be small crops and poor seed.
When it takes three to five pounds of
seed to raise bushel, it is 20 say the
least, q ruinous waste. Enough is
wasted in such seeding to supply
with bread the whole wheat-producing
population the year round and not
only is the direct loss sustained, but
another-viz., thick seeding invaria-
bly, hinders the wheat plant from pro-
ducing as much as 1t would were it
not cramped and crowded 30 closely

bushels of wheat per acre, should
carefully read and think over Prof.
Blount's article, entitled ga Bushel

print, from the Rural Ne'c Workers.
"Wheat Special" An average pro-
duction of thirty bushels per acre
would be quite satisfactory tn the
wheat grower oil the country, and
Prot. B., who has earned his profes-
sor's chair in the agricultural college
of wheat-produ cling Colorado, insists
that this can better be secured by
the use Of one-half bushel of seed per
acre, than any greater quantity. To
this the DEMOCRAT gives hearty as.
sent, provided, always, that the pre-
supposed conditions of perfect seed,
and proper preparation of the ground
have been complied with. 1t would
be but "sixty-fold," and, aside from
modern agricultural experience, we
have in Mark 4, 10, most excellent
authority for considering this but q

MINNEAPOLIs, Nov. /, 1882.
To the Editor Minneapolis Evening Journal:
In your very learned editorial of last
evening you call the attention of all brick
layers. plasterers, carpenters, butchers,
horseshoers, ETC., etc., to the fact that they
are getting just about double the pay of
the same class of labor in England, and
you warn them that they will have to work
for One-half of what they are working
for to-day if DR.. Ames is elected. You
claim that he win vote for free trade and
then the natural conclusion is that the
bricklayers in England will ship us foun-
dation walls and brick work generally, al
ready laid. The horseshoers, too, are get
ting ready to shoe horses in England and
We may expect if DR.. Ames is elected that
they will offer to shoe the Minneapolis
horses for half price, or else shoe horses
in England and ship them to us already
shod, and in that way break down our
worthy fraternity of horseshoers. The
butchers, too, are getting ready to kill
beef in England and ship it to Minneap-
oils to undersell our butchers.
I for one ann opposed to any such Chinese
tricks. The next thing we hear viii be
