Preparing Wheat Ground.
Indiana Farmer.

Flowing for wheat should commence as
early as possible after harvest. Several
reasons require this Early blowing First,
the ground Is noe likely 10 be 50 dry and
hari as it oftel becomes late in August and
in .ptember Although the weather is
then unusually hot, yet teams will average
more gr,uqj per Gay than liter with dryer
ground. Many farmers put off wheat plow-
ing until dry weather compels them to
cease and wait for rains. Thes, rains some
times come so lat, that seeding is neces-
sarily put of so long tina. the young
grain gets but a weak start before win
ter, But if the blowing is done early
the ground may then be. II neeied, bar
rowed an rolled, thus 80 pulverizing it,
that lishtrains would moisten il deep enough
for se,diny, which would not aid in break
ing up. The writer recolleots several sea-
sons when 10 his own seedin. this WAS the
case. In one instance, by persevering under
great difficulty In preparing twepty-seven
acres, light rains enabled him to sci in
good time, and be harvested some i've
bushels per acre more than did several Of his

In the accom-, any ing illustration we have
a superior variety of the so-callel English
walnut. Its prorer name is the Madeira
nut, or that, perhaps, is not its right name
either. since it came from Persia and the
Himalaya mountains in the first place. 1t
was transplanted into Europe more than
1000 years ago. 1t used to grace the feasts
of the old Romans.
A curious fact about this nut is that while
il is called English" walnut it will not ma
ture at all in England, except in the very
warmest parts of that country. 1t grows,
however, in ali dis riots of Great Britain as
az ornamental tree, and is highly
prizei for tina purpose 1t would be
interesting to know just how far north
this valuable fruit will mature i'll
the Unitel States. 1t is known to do ai-
miraby in the middle and southern states
There are trees that thrive well an produce
good crops in latitude Az. 1t does this on
the Atlantic seaboard. Whether it woull
do so inland and on western plains remains
to be seen. On all accounts it is desirable
that our farming populati should begin to
pay serious attention to the culture of nut
ienring trees. We want to know just what
trees Of thai kind will grow and thrive best
L. all tie various parts of this great big
country Cur common black walnut will
grow every where We believe, but althou III
the wood is one of the most valuable known
the nut is inferior.
A hint 70 those who are wise is sufficient
on the subject Of nut bearing trees. Allen,
i'll his admirable Farm Book, says that wal
nut. hickory and butternut trees deserve
much more attention than they receive. con-
sidering the value of their timber as well as
their fruit

away in the middle of the day. Tbs jarring
should he sudden; mere shaking will not
do. To avoid bruisng the bark, it Is good
plan to saw of branch, leaving a stump
several inches long on which to strike with
heavy mallet; or hole may be bored in
the tree into which broad headed iron

A small tire, may be Jared by hand, Ex-

E. A. A. Grange is professor OF veterinary
science in the Agricultural College OF Mlchi-
gan He has been recently making expert
ments on parturient apoplexy, or milk fever
in cows. He has found that wet sheet
mack will save the animals nearly every
time. 1t produces profuse sweating, by
which the dis Ease is thrown off. The symp-
toms are stoppage Of the flow OF milk, or
dimished quantity, distress of countenance.
flow OF water from the eyes, constant INT
ing of the hind feet, and staggering gait.
Finally the cow lies down. filings her head
to the right side and keeps it there. She
takes no interest in her calf and at length
goes into stupor.
Professor Oranges treatment with the
cold wet sheet pack is as follows: wiring a
he'd sheet out of cold water and spread it
over the COW while in standing position
If one is not large enough, sew two together.
Cover this with pair OF warm, ilght
blankets or thick cotton comforters, and
over all tuck in arubber blanket or oilcloth
to keen the heat in. Cover the legs AMI teet
ND warm with straw or wooiens Restle''
animals must be watched constantly, To
keen the pack in pltce Tying cold wet
cloths upon the head will reiuce the fever
and have a quietin. influence. Do not let
the COW lie down upol her side. PACK bags
Of straw up about her sides to prevent this.
In half an hour the cow will be sweating
nrofusely. Let her continue to do so for an
hour or more, till the SKIN begins to get
cool. Then give her second pack in the
same manner Be careful that the COW docs
not take cold while changing the cloths. In
twelve hours, sometimes half as long, she
will be relieved. Keep her on soft diet for
a week afte wards, with a little daily exer-
else. Before applying the pack rub the
animal with fresh table mustard along the
back bone, about four inches on each side,
from shoulders to tail. Rub with this for a
quarter of an hour, and let it remain on two
avs. Then apply the pack. The treatment
requires thoroughnesS and constant care,
and should not be left to mere hired help.
Keep the bladder emptied and the milk
drawn off.
Abortion in dairy cows is becoming mors
and more common under the present high
pressure system. To prevent it Professor
Grange re tommends black haw powder ad-
nnistered when the symptoms begin to
appear. Give two ounces OF the powder
Two to three times day.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dsaa.
10 Water Street, Cleveland. q.

Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and new
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were SO weak raised blood. Nobody
thought / could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishlers Herb Bitters,
and it saved my lie. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place and |
had improved SO much | stopped taking 1t
for time, and the result is that l have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and ! must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and il any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and ] will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhra, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishlcrs Herb
B.t:ers is used, is that it contains simple,
HARMLESS, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys and liver,
and Through them strengthens and invigor-
otes the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ion: endorsed by physicians and drug,
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishiers Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price Sl.oC
per large bottle 6 hottie for $500.

blowing until the ~, fall rains. As wheat
was then 81 per Lushel, SO per acre well
paid for the extra labor.
Second, the soil after blowing needs the
sun and air to pulverize and enrich it. All
experienced farmers are familiar with this
fact. Ii any farmers are not it is high time
they learl it.
Third, by early blowing the ground has
more time to settle and become compact,
condition which greatly resists the acton OF
the frosts in heaving it up, and loosening
the roots of the heat. Wheat needs Level
and very mellow surface, in which 1t can
spread its tiny roots, and where, II the
underlying soil is compact, 1t Will take nrp'
hold. In fact, ground plowed soon atter
harvest can hardly be made too compact ior
a good wheat yield. The experiment has
been tried of having race ard driving tracks
around wheat fields either just before OF
just after seeding, and invariably the uest
yield would be on the track, and this for the
two reasons that the body of the SOIL was
firmly compacted and that the surface was
very finely pulverized. IT farmers had time
to spend three or four days on every acre,
after blowing, with a roller, they would
find the time we'll spent. A farmer not long
since told me that soon after blowing part
of his wheat field all unusually heavy rain
fell, which fairly impacted the ground:
Soon as it was sufficiently dry he finished
blowing. The field was all seeded at the
same time. But in prepar ng the first part
for the drill he had to weight the harrow
heavily, and even then the seed was not
near all covered. The other part was mel
low. and worked well. The difference in
the crops was nearly 30 per cent. in favor
of the compact ground. Instances of this
character could be given without limit, and
they all teach the advantage of early plow-
ing, of compacting the soil AMI OF tininS the
surface.
