How Mach wheat seed per
Acre?

-
Where wheat is not at all crowded,
in rich, mellow soil, and the tiller-
ing is not impeded, the average num-
Der of stems for each plant is about
sixteen. Each one produces head or
ear, containing on an average, under
reasonably favorable conditions, fifty
grains. Thus one grain yields eight
hundred grains. At this rate, the
man who sows two bushels to the
acre, would harvest sixteen hundred
bushels per acre, or else much of the
seed is lost. The average yield of
the country, however, is less than
fifteen bushels per acre. A bushel
of wheat contains, ordinarily seven
hundred and fifty thousand grains;
two bushels, one million five 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 expect the plant to
make a vigorous growth on four
square inches? Can you expect it to
tiller and produce sixteen stems?
Can you expect it to mature sixteen
full heads? The result Of this crowd
ing is plain. The plants can not
gain nutriment when growing SO
denscly Some must die that the
others may live. The strong triumph
and the weak succumb. This strug-
gle for life begins rs soon as the
plants appear above ground. As the
plants grow larger, they require more
room, and others must give way, and
very few If any, attain full growth.
All are cramped and starved. Til
lering is impeded; many plants do
not tillcr at all, and those that do,
tiller imperfectly. The same is true
Of caring. Full ears can not be ex-
pectcd. An acre of wheat contains
about eight hundred thousand heads.
1t is safe to say that, on account of
tillering, these are produced by three
hundred thousand plants. Conse-
quently, only one fifth of the grains
sown produce mature plants; these
plants produce less than one fifth of
the proper number of stems by tiller-
ing, and these produce imperfect
heads. This is almost entirely caused
by crowding.
Two quarts of seed sown on an
acre have produced fifty bushels of
wheat. Where all the conditions are
favorable, the American farmer should
not SOW more than half bushel. per
acre. But agricultural reforms are
never sweeping; therefore let the
wheat-grower try one bushel per
acre.-American griculturist for
September.

OppOrtun mites of West Va.

That West Virginia is destined to
become one of the wealthiest States
in the Union is well established
fact in the minds Of all those who are
acquainted with its resources. A
gentleman from Parkersburg, w. E.
Powell, writing to the Industrial
South" says:
II also wish to call the attention
of your readers to the special attrac-
tions just now in West Virginia for
capitalists. My work for the past
four years has taken me thro' nearly
all the counties in the State. West
Virginia forest Of hard wood is i'm
mense; also large quantity OF super
ior soft woods. Two large pulp mills
have jnst been put into operation in
this city for the purpose of using
soft wood. The coal fields can hardly
be described, and embrace o very
large area of the State-coal beds
running from three to fourteen feet
in thickness.
Men who want to make a good in
vestment can find many good chances
in West Virginia. This is a rare
chance-one tract Of land Of more
than 1000 acres, has coalbeds from
ten to fourteen feet, n bed of good
lime sixty feet thick, 1000 acres i'm
proved and well adapted to grazing,
and more than 1000 acres covered
with heavy growth of timber-now
offered for sale at $75 per acre, well
worth 5000 per acre; only four miles
from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
This is rare chance, I assure you.
l have seen but little said about
our soil or water power. The climate
is good, the soil well adapted to grass,
corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, and nearly
all kinds of vegetables are raised in
great abundance. No other State in
the Union is better adapted to wool
growing; and then our splendid water
power from the river and other large
streams flowing out of the Mountains
makes it entirely practicable to man.
ufacture all this wood at home, and
at very trifiing expense after the
machinery is put up. This has al
ready become a great industry and
is rapidly growing.
We do not want European paupers
in West Virginia.. but we. do most
kindly invite active, intelligent Amer
leans with business tact and means
to come to West Virginia to help to
develop these great natural resonr-
ces and share in the future wealth
and prosperity of the State"

There is a great deal that is wrong
in our modern method Of education
1t teaches a man to be a gentleman,
but yet does not give him the power
ofmaking living. 1t stuns him with
facts and meaningless words, phrases
and theories, but does not enable
him to think for himself and become
a man in the highest and best sense.
His education is too general and not
practical enough. All classes should
be taught that PERUNA-the great
remedy compounded by DR.. Hart
mantle very thing he needs for the
restoration of his health and the ton
ing up of the body. Being composed
of pure vegetable substance and. con
tanning no poisonous minerals, they
are just the thing for all classes Of
people, and all should learn at once
that it is to their interest to inquire
into the merits of these medicines,
for therein lies the highest education.
Ask your druggist for PERUNA.

The colored element OF the repub-
lican party is becoming one Of its
most troublesome factors. The css-
ored man is beginning to under
stand that his party has no use for
him beyond getting his vote, and he
is going to resent this. On the same
subject the Baltimore Sun says: Tile
Colored Press Association at st.
Louis passed a resolution declaring
itself non -partisan-a significant fact.
The convention of colored men held
at Columbia, South Sarolina, some
weeks ago, CONDEMNED the manage
ment of the republican party in the
strongest language" and their ami
mus has been again exhibited in the
recent letter of prominent colored
politician of South Carolina to the
Charleston Nc,rs and Courier. The
causes of the discomfort thus voiced
are stated to be, ~ the mode in
which Hayes, to secure the presi-
dency, turned the State governments
Of Florida, South Carolina and Louis
lana over to "the rapacious malignity
of their hereditary political oppo-
nents," notwithstanding the obvious
fact that the same votes that gave
him majority, if any, in those
States must have elected republican
State governments there" (2) "the
whining policy" of Mr.. Hayes in ap-
pointing Southern democrats to Of
flee over the heads Of loyal republi
cans; (3) "the naughty manner" in
which President Garfield received the
delegation of Southern colored men
headed by Elliott, of South Carolina,
receiving Elliott's address before
hand through his private secretary,
"erasing what he did not desire read
to him, and SO emasculating it as to
destroy oil its saliency."

Commenting upon the wonderful
story related by Dorsey of the cam
paign of 1880 the New York world
remarks:
It's tale of treachcry, bribery, cor
ruption and dishonor without prece-
dent in this republic.
1t is story so shameful that, though
its burning disgrace may drive from
power the party implicated in it, we
cannot but regret that it is true.
The first interest eyery'honest cit
liens is not in. party; success, but in
honest government. The good name
of the country is more precious than
the control Of it's, politics; and all
honest government is mocked, all
good reputation brought to shame,
when we are compelled to admit the
treachery, the corrupt bargaining,
the trading Of high offices, the subor-
nation ofinflaence, the blackmailing,
the surrender to millionaires, the CON
cession to thieves, and all the dark
iniquitous details which go to make
up that record.
Are we certain Of the facts? Those
who would most wish to deny them
do not dare to call for the proofs.
Conspirators seldom leave evidences
of their conspiracy in material form,
but no man in his senses can dispute
the evidences of that tangled conspir
acy which embraced the whole Re-
publican party in its crime, which
extends from the nomination Of a
President to his assassination, and
which had land has } the plumber Of
a republic as its booty.

There is no use for them to look be-

cost per year is not much more than
half what it is in most colleges of
equal standing. Our University has
not the prestige Of antiquity, which
many of its rivals enjoy. Like our
young State in her development, the
University is just unfolding her treas
ures of learning to the young men
who seek.a good education, and it
behooves us all to foster and cherish
it, not only as matter of State pride
but Of private advantage and econo.

the ensuing session will be the most
successful of any. The institution is
being advertised more than ever, the
unjust and libelous attacks upon il
have caused its friends to rally to its
support, and to-day it is better known
and more deeply implanted in the at
fections Of the people than ever. The
session begins the 9th of September
and it is now known that more stu
dents will attend than ever before
