ROME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Lands in the Eastern States, which
had "run OUT for wheat culture forty
years ago, are now found capable Of
producing good crop.
The pride of the farmer should be
in his fields. In their beauty, in their
order, in their product, he should place
the qualification of his humble and
honorable ambition. - Chicago Journal.
"A successful farmer says he always
makes it rule to raise twice as many

has them to sell; if low he gets a good

The more finely pulverized any
manure is made the more efficient it
will be. But if the pulverizing is ac-
complished by fermentation care must
be taken to prevent the loss of the val
liable volatile elements. Covering the
compost heaps with sods from the road
side will do this, and when the heap is
rotted down the earth will be as rich in
nitrogen as the manure. Toledo Blade.
"A prominent gardener said to us
recently: 81 believe thorough cultiva-
ton is the best remedy for the currant

the base of the bushes, and have little

a simple remedy and worth the trying,
and if currants are raised for market it
is not well to use hellebore upon them,
as it is liable to remain on the fruit to
greater or less degree and iniure its
sale, or if the berries are washed they
will not sell so well. Detroit Post.
"A veterinary writer gives the fol.

be a good commencement to other food.

The Alligator Fever.

1t beats all how Northern man does
banker to shoot an alligator just as soon
as he gets beyond the Ohio River, and
the further South he goes the stronger
grows the feeling. It's sort of ''buck
fever" and nothing will cure it except
the gore of the reptile A chap from
Rhode Island went down to Biloxi from
New Orleans with the party. Small
alligators were plenty enough along the
creeks and bitches, and every time the
Clam State man saw one he almost
body around Biloxi for an alligator
hunt, and he finally paid a darkey
three. dollars to drive him to lake
four Or five miles away, where the
saurians were said to be numerous
enough to crowd each other out Of
water. The boys had been over in the
morning and fixed things. A rope was
tied to either end of a water-soaked log
and led into the bushes, and no sooner
had the hunter got down and discovered
movement in the water than he opened
fire.
Oats yer game, boss" said the
darkey, as he seated himself in the
shade, and the way that old log was
bombarded was caution. The man
made eye shots, and line shots, and dead
shots, and after he had fired about
twenty-five times he began to wonder
why his game didn't turn toes up.
''Takes heap o. lead, boss. but you
is trubblin' him mighty bad,' encour-
aged the darkey, and the bombardment
was renewed with a determination to
die in the last ditch. Pretty soon a
man broke from the bushes to the left,
and in voice of authority called out:
Shooting alligators out of season is
an offense punished by fine of not less
than ten dollars"
s'N-o-ar'
Elbow many shots have you fired?"
"Only thirty-nine.' y
"Shooting off revolver in the State
of Mississippi, except in self-defense, is
fine of five dollars for each time!
Haveyou permit"
Permit for what?n
''To shoot at Colonel Ford's alliga-
tors. If not he can recover damages
not to exceed $500. Did you cross that

The constable" started. So did Rhode
Island. They went in opposite dircc-
tons. The Rhode Islander came into
Biloxi on canter, settled his hotel bill
without stopping to count the change,
and picking up his sachel he busted of
along the railroad track as if called to
death-bed. When 1 found him in
Mobile few days later he had shaved
off his whiskers and blackened his eye
brows. He also complained Of lame
back and corns on his feet.

looked around for listeners, ''if old

Wheat Culture.

Wheat requires careful preparation
of the soil previous to seeding, for best
results. Early and thorough blowing
are called for, with crushing, rolling
and narrowing. The thorough pulver-
ization of the soil is an important item
in wheat culture.
Depth of soil is one of the require
ments for the attainment of large
yields, for the wheat plant has two sets
OF roots, the first springing from the
seed and penetrating downwards, while
the second push themselves laterally
near the surface of the ground from the
first joint. These roots thus extract
food from every part Of the soil, and
the yield, therefore, depends upon its
extent and fertility.
Most farmers understand the folly of
aeyoting heavy clay lands to wheat
unless these be well drained. Without
drainage the wheat will winter-kill dur
ing the successive freezing and thawing
by which the roots are broken or
thrown out. Well prepared clay or
heavy loan, with a large proportion of
lime, gives good wheat yields, as do
many light and calcareous soils. Lime,
it ought to be remembered, is an i'm
portant aid to wheat.
The quantity of seed sown to the acre
must be controlled by a number of cir
cumstances. Climate and season, kind
of soil and variety of wheat have
bearing en- this question. Wheats that
tiller largely need less seed than other
sorts; rich, fertile soil requires less than
poor land. On well-pulverized, ordi-
nary wheat soils, the rule is about five
pecks OF seed to the acre, while rough
land requires from six to eight pecks.
1t takes more seed when full and plump
than when shrunken.
When he'ground has been properly
prepared, the seed may be sown either
broadcast or in drills-the latter is ac-
cepted as the better way by progressive
farmers. Rollingis considered by many
an excellent practice, as it presses the
earth closely upon the seed.
The wheat crop depends much on a
proper selection of seed. On soils
naturally adapted to wheat-growing the
finer varieties may be employed as seed
On other soils the hardy wheats should
be grown. Generally speaking, wheat
is more productive when the seed is
taken from soil inferior to the one in
tended for sowing. 1t is also claimed
that what's produced, both in a warmer
or colder climate, will mature earlier
The grain designed for seed should be
well ripened before harvesting.
Owing to the ever-varying character
of the different kinds Of seed, their SUI
periority in one locality and inferiority
in others, it is impossible to present a
list of wheats valuable for all sections.
Experiment alone is the only guide ia
the wheat best adapted to special
grounds and conditions. 7. World

EARNING GOOD LICK.

Dear Polly, these are joyful 6aysi
Your feet can choose their own sweet WAYS
You have no care of anything.
Free as the swallow on the wing.
You hunt the bayfield, over
To find four-leayed clover.
But this tell you, Polly dear,
One thing in life you need not fear:
Bad luck, I'm certain, never haunts
A child who works for what she wants,
And hunts a bayfield, over
To find four-leaved clover?
The little leaf is not so wise
As it may seem in foolish eyes;
But then, dear Polly, don't you see,
Since you were willing carefully
To hunt the bayfield, over,
You found your four-leaved cloyer2
Your patience may have long to wait,
Whether in little things or great,
But all good luck, you soon will learn,
Must come to those who nobly earn.

dercoat together, folded them slowly and
gracefully and laid them over the back
of his chair.

A Devils Den.
Boston Globe.

Five miles west of Great harrington is
the little township of Afford, whose in
habitants are engaged entirely in farm,
ing A reliable gentleman from there
states that while an old farmer was out
hunting black snakes Sunday he made
the discovery of wonderful cave in q
limestone ledge. The cave has been
christened Devils Den.
Since its discovery parties have en-.
Geavored to explore it with lighted
torches. They could only go in a few
rods when, owing to the poisonous gases
the torches began 10 burn dimly, and in
one case where man ventured too ial
ahead of his companions he was rescued
with difficulty.
So far as known the cave is large, witt
rooms and passages, and it is though
that by making the mouth larger th'
gases will escape and the cave can be ex
plored with safety. A sound as of run
ming watetr indicates small river o
spring in it, and it is thought that {
stream from the well-known Frying Pal
spring on the hillside opposite there
lost under ground, runs into it.
