New Varieties VS.. Acclimated Wheat.

A writer of some eminence, says:
sometime it will dawn upon the COM
prehensions of wheat growers that the
continual changing of wheat to get a
better variety, is one OF recurring loss,
and that the true method should be one
of acclimation and securing an in
creased yield by better culture and
more careful selection and purity of
seed. Why should wheat run out, if
fertility was maintained and vigorous
seed always sown. When new
wheat comes into notice, How was it
originated?' is asked. Oh, a few heads
were seen superior to the rest, these
were sown with special care, they
were abundantly fertilized, watched
and fostered, add presto! new grain
resulted. How came those few heads
to be different! Were they different
from the rest save that the seed fell
on soil of great excellency, which had
store of peculiar fertility in that one
place, that gave the seed that fell
there an advantage which the observ-
ing farmer followed up and got new
() variety? What becomes of all
these new varietiesl It is said they
run out. Is it not more probable that
from several causes, suitable condi-
tions of soil, fertility lacking in need
ed elements, and disregard of select
ing the best of the seed, that the grain
in a few years not only reverts back
to the variety from which it sprung
by accident, or sport, but even be-
yond, until it loses its IDENTIFY The
same law governs the plant world that
has it's influences in animal life. Do
thoroughbred cattle always remain
thoroughbred cattle, without care, adj
equate feeding and proper selection!
Why should haphazard wheat culture
prove an exception to this rulel"

Ar a meeting in Chickering Hall,
New York, the other day, to endorse
Mr.. Rooseevelt's high license bill,
Henry Ward Beecher made very
effective speech. He said that when
Hercules had his battle with the Hy-
dra of hundred heads, he was con-
tented to strike off one at time, and
then had to have an assistant to scar
the neck to prevent it growing out
again. 1t was impossible to cut off
the hundred heads of the hydra in
intemperance with one act of legisla-
ton. The high license was the best
beginning.

day last. The diseased had an UNI
fortunate sickness in her youth which
doomed her to many years of suffering
helplessness. She accepted death as
a welcome deliverer Of the weary soul
from such comfortiess prison as was
her poor body. Her affection, howev-
er, was greatly tempered and softened
by the kind, patient, never wearying
care of Mr.. and Mrs. Gullikson, and
the same loving hands were plainly
visible in the last offices affection
could bestow, insomuch that, as we
gazed into the beautiful burial casket
at the lovely lifeless form, we could
not but think, more beautiful in death
than in life.
