HOW MUCH WHEAT SEED
PER ACRE?

= e.
Where wheat is not at all crowd.
ed, in a rich, mellow soil, and the
tillering is not impeded, the average
number of stems for each plant IS
about sixteen. Each one produces
head or ear, containing on an
average, under reasonably favora-
ble conditions, fifty grains. Thus
one grain yields eight hundred
grains. AZ this rate, the man
who sows two bushels to the acre.
would harvest sixteen hundred
bushels per acce, or else nucS of
the seed is lost. The average yield
Of the country, howeFer. is less
than fifteen bushels per acre. A
bushel Of wheat contains, ordinarily,
seven hundred ans Fifty thousand
grains; two bushels, one million
Eve hundred thousand grains. An
acre of land contains slightly above
SIX million square inches. So that
each plant has four square inches
from which to derive sustenance.
Measure that on the ground, and
see how small it is. Can you ex-
pect the plant to make q vigorous
growth on four square inchesa Can
you expect it to tiller and produce
sixteen stemsi Can you expect
it to mature sixteen full headsa The
result of this crowding is plain.
The plants can not gain nutriment
when growing SO densely. Some
must die that the others may live.
The strong triumph and the weak
succumb. This struggle for life
begins as soon as the plants appear
aboYe the ground. As the plants
grow larger, they require more
room, and others must give way,
and only few, if any, attain 8 full
growth. All are cramped and
starved. Tlllering is impeded;
many plants do not tiller at all,
and those that do, tiller imperfectly.
The same is true of caring. Full
ears can not be expected. An acre
of wheat contains about eight hun
dred thousand heads. It is safe to
say that, on account OF tinering,
these are produced BY three hun.
dred thousand plants. Consequen-
tly, only one-ffth of the grains
sown produce mature plants; these
plants produce less than ons-ffth
of the proper number Of stems By
tillering, and these produce imper-
feet heads. This is almost entirely
caused by crowding.
Two quarts Of seed sown on an
acre have produced 6fty bushels Of
wheat. Where all the conditions
are favorable, the American farmer
shoald not SOW more than half a
bushel per acre. But agricultural
reforms are never sweeping; there
fore let the wheat-grower Try one
bushel per acre.-American Agrico!-
tisist for. September.

Olive Oil

and had the opportunity to watch the
whole process. Signor Matteini has
just erected a very fine new building
for the purpose, and has introduced
machinery, an innovation most dis
pleasing to the unprogressiye conta-
DIM mind-he would prefer the slow
primitive method, though it consumed
more than twice or thrice the time and
was infinitely more laborious We
saw the great bags of olives emptied
between two large grindstones, which
crushed them thoroughly; they are
then put into soft wicker baskets and
placed under heavy presses; from
these the pure oil runs into marble
Yats in another room, is left to settle

A Caterer on Meat.

Fresh meat of every description
should be hung up in a dry, cool place,
and carefully wiped every day. 1t
ought never to lay long in dish. The
time it should be kept varies with
the weather-in cold, dry weather it
will keep fresh much longer than in
moist, warm weather. Game will keep
longer than butcher meat say, TWO
weeks-birds being kept with the
feathers on, but not drawn, and veni-
son and rabbits paunched but not
skinned. Beef viii require from four
to tea days keeping, or even longer in
cold weather; and mutton, if well
managed, will sometimes hang a fort
night or three weeks without spelling
the longer the bltteT. As young
meat, EOweyer--yeal lamb and NUT
ton -spoils very quickly, one, two or
three days at the utmost suflices for it.
Fowls will keep for a week aad
turkeys fortnight, but goose not
above nine or ten days. In plucLing
birds which have been kept some
time, care should be taken not TO
break the skin, which w | become
rather tender.
There are various ways of keeping
meat sweet and Of removing the bad
smell after it has become slightly
tainted. One mode is to rub it over
with coarsely-pounded charcoal, which
has the property Of absorbing the
putrescent gases, and thus prevents
the bad smell. The charcoal must, of
course, be washed off before cooking.
Another way is to paint the meat all
over with Il solution Of salicylic acid,
or rubbing the meat with dry acid is
the simplest method, and viii do for.
all household purposes.-Ihe CGterer.

The newest wraps are padded on the
