Drains should always be cut as
narrow as possible, the bottom being
just wide enough to receive the pipes,
which renders the drain more efficient
The length and depth Of the drains,
and their distance apart, regulate the
size of the pipe that should be used,
but level ground requires larger
pipe than where the inclination is
greater. The capacity of the pipes
for minor drains should be just great
enough to carry off the maximum
flow of water, for if too large, the seds
iment will lodge in the bottom of the
pipe and choke the drains.

OF the soil previous to seeding, for
best results. Early and thorough
ploughing are called for, with crush
ing, rolling and narrowing. The
thorough pulverization 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 TINS extract food from every
part OF the soil, and the yield thereof
depends npon it's extent and fertility.
Most farmers understand the folly
of devoting heavy clay lands to
wheat. unless these be we'll drained.
Without drainage the wheat will win

ing and thawing by which the roots
are broken Or thrown out. Well pre-

Wheats that tiller largely need less
seed than other sorts; rich, fertile
soil requires less than poor land. On

the rule is about five pecks of seed
to the acre, while rough land requires

more seed when full and plump than
when shrunken.
When the ground has been proper
ly prepared, the seed may be sown
either broadcast or in drills-the
latter is acceptable as the better way
by progressive farmers. Rolling is
considered by many an excellent
practice, as it presses the earth close
ly upon the seed.
The wheat crop depends much on
proper selection of seed. On soils
naturally adapted to wheat,growine

as seed. On other soils the hardy

It is a current assertion that dark
colored clover seeds are more sure to
terminate than light-colored ones.
Professor Beal has tried some exper.
iments on this point. In 1877 over
SO per cent. of dark-colored seeds
grew and about S3 per cent. of the
light colored seeds. In 1881 the ex-
pertinent resulted in favor Of the
light.colored seeds. The experiments
seem to show that, on an average,
there is not much difference in the
terminating power between the diff
ferept colored seeds.

Rats.

Owing to the numerous crannies and
corners in the hull of a ship, it is i'm
possible to get rid Of rats after they
have effected an entrance. Ships take
out rats as well as passengers and
cargo every voyage; whether the former
remain in the ship at port is best
known to themselves. When the East
Indian company had ships as their own
they employed a rat catcher, who some
times captured five hundred rates in
one ship just returned from Calcutta.
The ship rat is often the black species
Sometimes black and brown inhabit
the same vessel, and unless they carry
on perpetual hostiIties the one party
will keep in the head of the vessel and
the other to the stern. The ship rat is
very anxious that his supply Of fresh
water shall not fail; he will come on
deck when 1t rains, and climb up to the
wet sails and suck them. Sometimes
he mistakes a spirit cask for water
cask. and he gets drunk. A captain on
an American ship is credited (or dis
credited) with an ingenious bit Of
sharp practice as a means of clearing
his ship from rats Having discharged
a cargo at port in Holland, he found
his ship in juxtaposition to another
which had just taken a cargo of Dutch
cheese. lie laid plank at night from
