where small packages are received
for experiment, is to lay, out the
land selected into regular plots,
with spaces between for separation,
one from the other. Sow the seed
in regular drills one. foot or more
apart. For wheat or rye the SEED
may be dropped four to six inches
apart. for barley somewhat thicker
and for oats say three inches apart.
These plots may easily be kept
clean. and a careful record being
kept. a fair determination or the
several values Of the varieties may
be arrived at.
But one seasons experiment does
not satisfy absolutely: AS soon as
a Weld is obtained sufficient to SOW
broadcast, or to drill by a machine,
cultivate in the ordinary manner.
TITUS, in a few years, the value OF
a variety may be fairly determined,
in accordance with varying seasons.
In the meantime very little will
have been lost in conducting the
experiments, and each farmer will
have gotten varieties best adapted
to his climate and situation.
In the same the farmer
may experiment in relation to the
application of fertilizers for special
crops, or thick or thin, early or late
seeding, or methods Of seeding,
methods of cultivation, winter pro-
lection, etc, etc. In examining va
rieties with a view Of forming an
opinion as to comparative values,
the habit, growth, appearance OF the
plant and the grain must be taken
into careful consideration. The time
Of seeding will also be "a necessary
record, especially since earIiness in
ripening is n of the most impor-
tant values in a variety Of grain. Ii
these points r carefully written
down they will form a most valuable
record in determining the actual
value of a grain or plant after several
years cultivation. under which its
average value one year with another
may be correctly estimated.-Farm,

Investigations at the public expert
ment stations of the several States
instituting them, they are no less
valuable or the farm. Experiment
Stations may demonstrate generally,
but each farmer to receive the best
results from these experiments must
also investigate for himself.
Here is a ase in point. An FIX
pertinent Station investigating the
values Of perhaps twenty varieties
of wheat, gives the several values Of
these varieties in that special climate
and in that soil. It does not follow
that these varieties stated to do best
there, will do SO in another locality
even though the soil may be similar
so far as the farmer may be able to
judge. But the probability is they
will do so aside from liability to
freeze out, mildew, rust, or the
occurrence of other disease. Expe-
riments by the farmer may easily
decide this.
How to do this most economically

THE GREAT WEST.

That our readers may learn some.
thing Of the disadvantages ATTENDING
a life in the great west, we give the
following extract from a letter to
The Farm and FIreside, from a
Dakota correspondent:
"A four years residence here has
enabled me to speak advisedIy, and
when | say that there is not
one who came out here and
has depended on farming for an
income but that has gone down hill,
| but speak the simple truth. True
those Fho came tull-handed and
loaned their money, or invested it
in stock, or went back to some res
eryation or isolated place and
escaped taxation have made money.
Crops RI short, and prices low.
Wheat five to fifteen bushels pe'
acre, price O@4 cents; oats Is to
35 bushels, 15@18 cents per busheI;
corn of previous years fair, but most
of it frost-bitten fax, 4, to 10 BUSH
els per acre, 10000 cents perbusheL;
milk, no sale; butter, 3 cents per
pound; eggs, 5 cents per dozen; live
stock, 14@2! cents per pound. Now
look on the other side: Soft coal, IS
per ton, hard $13; dried fruits 9 to
20 cents per pound, owing to kind
and quality. The high price Of fuel
has driven even well-to-do people to
the use. Of hay, corn-stalks, flax
straw, and through the summer
season almost all residing in the
rural districts have used cow chips
for fuel. Add to this a third OF a
mans time for hauling water, and
your readers will have something OF
a correct idea of the Inconvenience
and expense Of living in a new cour-
try. | might add that, with rare
exceptions, it is impossible for labor,
ing men to get employment. Inc
advantages are health and presuma-
bly, long life. The disadvantages
are no market, no fuel, no water, no
fruit, no demand for labor"

PLANTS USED BY MAN.

1t is estimated that about 5000
different plants are used by man.
OF these about $500 are cultivated
in America. The varieties used for
food do not exceed 600. Of edible
fruits and seeds there are 100 classed
as vegetables, 100 as roots and bulbs.
fifty varieties Of grain, about twenty
of which produce sugar and syrup.
In addition to this, perhaps thirty
kinds will yield oil and six Kinds
vine. The number of medicine
supply plants is nearly double that
OF the fruit-yielding, amounting to
LAO about $50 Of which are en-
ployed in the various branches of
industry. Of the latter, sevcnty-six
furnish dyestuff, eight wax, sixteen
salt, and more than forty supply
food for cattle. There are no fewer
than $50 kinds of poisonous plants
cultivated, among which are only
sixty-six narcotic, the remainder
being classed as deadly poisons.-
