How Much Seed Wheat per Acre

HOW MUCH OeeO WnedC per Acre.
One OF the questions to which there
is no definite answer, is, how much
wheat shall be sown to the acrel Much
depends on the condition of the soil,
the degree of fertility, the time of SOW
ing. the liability to injury from birds
and insects. and OH the subsequent
character of the season. AS rule, less
seed is required when sown with a
drill, than broadcast; less when sown
early, than when sown late. In west
ern New York, some farmers SOW only
one bushel per acre; still more SOW five
pecks withsa drill, and six pecks. If
broadcast. Occasionally two bushels
are sown, but probably the average is
one and half bushel The american
Agyiculturist has readers in Great Brit
ain, where three bushels are sown; and
again, i'm sections of our own country.
where three pecks is the rule. To the
inexperienced, we can give no better
advice, than to recommend them to
ask their neighbors. There is general
ly some good reason for n prevailing
practice. If you think your neighhurs
are sowing too much, SOW little less,

Pointers for Advertisers.

Don't expect an advertisement to bear fruit in one night.
 You can't eat enough in a week to last you year, and you can't advertise on that plan either.
 The enterpriSing advertiser proves that he understands how 10 buy, because in advertising Re knows how to sell.
 People who advertise only once in three months, forget that most folks cannot remember anything more than seven days.
 If you can arouse curiosity hy an ad' crtiscment, it a great point gained. The fair sex doesn't hold all the curiosity in the world.
 Quitting advertising in dull times IS like tearing out damn because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good times from coming.
 Trying to do business without advertising is like winking at a pretty girl through a pair of green goggles, you may know what you are doing but nobody else does.
 Enterprising traders are begin. ming to learn the value of adver- tising the year around. The per. sistency of those who are not in- timidated by the cry of dull times, but keep their names constantly before the publlc. will surely place them on the rlght slde in the end.

Profits ia Agriculture.

A Planter in Rt.,l and Workmpn.
 Success in agriculture in this era depends greatly on iudicious management for the attainment of the greatest profit in each depart ment. A vast improvement in this direction has been made during the past decade in the southern states. The immense increase in the pro- ductiou of cereals, grains. stock and general diversified agriculture, have added millions annually to the profit of the husbandman in this section. This result has been greatly aided by the general use of improved machinery and better methods of cultivation. And. yet a greater increase in the profits of agriculture in Arkansas could be attained by more careful inveSti- gation into the results of all farm ing operations.
 What an immense saving could be made, and consequently profit realized, in this state, by the de- struction of all worthless dogs in it's borders; and also, by improved laws for fences and public road systems. The entire southern press are continually berating the farmers for adopting the crop mort gage system, but they fail to sug- gest any practical remedy or substi- tnte. Now. the only cure for this form ofindebtcdness, is an increase in the profits agriculture. Profit is the antidote, and the want of profit IS the propagator of this financial disease.

 l-Set apart a fixed sum, week iy or monthly, as the case may be, in proportion to your income, and spend that and no more for books.

gage system or its equivalent pre- vails; in those branches of busi ness where there are-good profits, the mortgages are generally dis charged and discontinued; when the business is unErofitable. there is general financial distress. Consequently, the continuance of q general system of crop mortgages is an evidence of a want of sui ticient profit in agriculture to eua- ble the farmers to relieve them selves of the oppressive custom. An increase of profit is not to be acquired by an increase of produc- ton. Under one system of man agcmcnt, the cotton raiser will ob- tain larger amount of profit on fifty bales. than another, on the all cotton plan, for instance, oR 8
 thousand bales. It will not be amiss, we hope, to s3ate in this connection, that one of tho most

There may be some vantage in permitting weeds to grow on the stubbles. wi.h the intention of blowing them in, provided they are not left long enough to riren their seeds. A bare fallow, in which the soil is exposed to the sun and rains, is injurious to the land; 1t iS far better to have the soil covered with some kind of vegetation II 1t is nothing but the prevalent sum mer weeds. Every crop of weeds plowed in, lessens the stock of weed seed in the soil. and does so much toward cleaning the land, if care is exercised to burn the weeds before the seeds are formed. An excellent method of covering the weeds is, to loopa chain from the blow beam, so that it gathers the strip of weeds on the furrow, where they are covered ill completely, and buried where they will soon decay and enrich tho soil.-Amc: ican Agriculturist for September.

LeprOSy

Few persons are aware that lep- rocy still prevails to a considera. ble extent in various parts of the world, The Chinese are popularIy believed to be the only people es- pccialIy subject to it. Medical writings show, however, that it is not only widely distributed in In dia, China, some portions of Iu. rope, the Sandwich Island. the West Indcs, but that in this coun- try there arc several centers where cases have been observed. One of these leprous centers is Louisi. ana, where the disease has existed for our q century. It was at one time so prevalent that in l1S5 a leper hospi;le was erected at New Orleans. Within a few years past quite q number of cases has been reported in lower Louisiana, and five er six years ago an off cial in yestigation was ordered by the leg iSlature.
 On the Bay of Chalcurs, in New Brunswick, there has been a lcpcr hospital for many years, the disease has been considerably restricted by governmental supervision, and seems in a fair way of disappearing there altoG Gethcr.
 The disease has been imported into Minnesota by Norwegian emi- grants, but is said to be on the de- cline in that state. In California it is said to De frequently among the Chinese. No reliable statistics of it's prevalence there are, howev- CT available.
 In this city several cases of the disease kare developed within tine past ten years. Cases have heen reported in our medical journal by two ot our physicians, who have made 8 carcfsl Investigation into the subject. One of the cases has never been away from the city, showing thus the disease was ac- quired here.
 Whether lepfosy is contagious or not is mootod question. Physi- clans disagree upon this point, as they do on so many others. The weight of evidence IS to tine effect that there is great danger from con tagion, Leprosy IS absolutely in curable by any method oftreatment known to the medical faculty, and it is fortunately that it is as rare as it is.

EconoaiiYing Time on the tarm.

--Gernantown Telegraph.
 How to use time 10 the best ad- vantage in the busy season of the year is what every farmer should study well. tis not enough that he works hard all day long, scarce ly taking time to eat his meals, Ii his work is not done the right way. Doing the work in the right way. Doing the work in the right time will save much unnecessary labor, by keeping all kinds Of farm imple- ments ready for use whenever needed; keeping fences mp so as not to be troubled with runaway cattle; but especially in the raising of crops is it necessary to be ln time both in seeding and harvest ing, and keeping the weeds 6own from the spring of tie year, so HIS llOt to itt thCtii SSt d 'lai u VI they will be hard to conquer later in tie season.
 To do things in the right way in cludes a great deal, and only the outlines can be given in a short ar ticle like this. The first is to do it thoroughly, not be shifting from one work to another, for in this way much time is lost. One thing which is much overlooked is to have everything handy; have all kinds of feed close by where 1t Is to be fed; have the corncrib near to the hog pasture, the hay close to the barn or stable, and water both for cattle and house use near al hand, for in this way it will not take more than half the time to do chores as it will if everything that is fed must be carried. even if not thought to be far. It is sur prising how much time will be walked away for nothing in the course of q year. Order should be strictly observed in everything, in having a place for all kinds of tools. and having them in ther place when not used. While no method can be mechanically fol, lowed in dividing mp the labor on the farm, still it can be arranged by establishing certain rules so as to save much time. In this way more can be done in ten hours work than in fourteen hours where no order is followed, therefore it is necessary to plan well beGore commencing on all kinds of work.

The Battlefield.

Said Capt. George W. Store yes terday: Fl don't believe any man ever went into a battle without feeling frightened. l know l nev, CT did. I'll tell you when a man feels real badly. It's when he is forming his men into line for q big battle when a little skirmishing fire is kept up all the time. Every minute or SD some one, maybe your best triend, standing right next 10 you, will shriell ogt, 'Oh, my God, ; and fall back dead. yet you cannot let your men fire, fer the army must be drawn up first. There is plenty of time to think. You don't dare to retalate in any way. The next bullet may find your heart, and you will be left iatherless. It is q moment that tries the bravest nan, because he has to stand qul- ctly and take it all. But when the order comes to fight and the eX- citcmcnt of the battle arises, fear passes away. You have something to do. You have a duty to per form at any cost. Bullets drive in to the ground at your feet, sending up little clouds of dust; they whis- tie past your ears and maybe cut holes in your clothing. Shells and shrepncl kill your comradc and leave you living, and soon there comes a feeling that some good fortune has preserved you and will protect you, and the desire to do as mach damage as possible to the enemy alone fills your mind, That was my experience in the army, and don't believe that the man lived who did not feel at the com mencemcnt Of a fight that he would rather be somewhere else, "-Cm, cinnati Times-Star.
