WHEAT after CORN.
Unquestionably the Cheapest Way Of
Raising a Good Wheat CrOD.

The practice of sowing wheat after corn
is deservedly meeting with increased favor,
both on account of its harmony with the
well-established principle of rotation OF
crops. and because it is the cheapest way
crop OF wheat can be made. A few
years ago It was thought to be impossible
to get full crop Of wheat by this method,
and there are probably many farmers yet
who regard it as slovenly process; but
experience has amply demonstrated that
this need necessarily be no more slovenly
method than any other, and that when it
Is properly followed out the results fully
Justify the means.
To insure the best results the corn
should have been thoroughly cultivated,
both to keep down the weeds and to keep
the soil loose. The corn should have
been planted early, that cutting may be-
gin early. just before cutting has begun,
the sbock-rows should be sown with a
one-horse drill, if possible; if not, SOW
broadcast and cultivate in; then put in q
force of cutters sufficient to finish the
field within week. As soon as the
cutting is fairly under way, put on heavy
spike harrow and harrow down the stubs.
which should be cut close TO- the ground,
as long stubs are great vexation in drill
ing. Harrow inlands, going in one di-
rection, and thoroughly pulverizing the
surface; then follow with the drill, driving
in the same direction as the narrowing,
to avoid the inconvenience of the stubs as
much as possible.
A thorough narrowing is much better
than q plowing, even when the ground has
become quite hard, as the plow leaves the
subsol SO loose as to permit the access
OF too much air.
The essentials OF q good crop of wheat
after corn are, first, of course, soil nat
uraliy rich, or fertilized With clover or
stable manure. Second, early planting
and thorough culture of the corn
Third, early cutting of the corn. As
soon q the grains are fairly in the dough,
the corn may be cut not only safely, but
with advantage as the grain viii fll out
from the stalk, and both grain and fodder

A Descendent of BEETLE Washington

From the Washington tGd.) Gazette,
Gen. WashingtOn's sister, Elizabeth
Washington, married Col. Fielding Lewis,
who was Quartermaster General OF the
Virginia forces during the Revolutionary
war, and rendered valuable service TO the
American cause in that great struggle.
Miss Annie Putnam, who is the telegraph
operatOr at Madison, is great-grand-
daughter of Mrs. Lewis, and therefore
closely related TO the father Of mis- coun-
try. Miss Putnam is also lineal descend
ant on the fathers side OF ten. Israel
Putnam, of Revolutionary fame. Proba-
bly, no young lady in America can boast
Of a more distinguished ancestry than
Miss Putnam. She has just received hand
some portraits Of Col. and Mrs. Lewis,
from relatives in Boston. The portrait of
Mrs. Lewis bears a strong resemblance TO
that of her distinguished brother, Gen.
George Washington, and while the face is
one OF great sweetness, it is also marked
with an air OF commanding presence
which would be shown only in the fea-
lures OF a person OF the highest breeding.
In dress and appearance, the portrait OF
Col. Lewis IS a perfect picture Of the old
Virginia gentleman and officer.
Miss Putnam will be remembered as n
citizen Of Washington several years ago,
while in our telegraph office with Miss
Pipkln.

soon commenced barking and swapping

Valuable Sheep in Franklin.

DFOHt Hte C0FH6SCtCGe (6U.J Ifept6J6Ts
Blanton Brown, living near Gainesville,
sheared q pounds of wool from four ewes
this spring. Three of the ewes are one
fourth Merino, and the other is Ofthe COM
mon scrub stock of the country. Mr..
Browns success seems to meet the argu-
ment that sheep will not do well in a pas
ture. He has kept his for long time in
a small pasture, they have been free from
disease, and the yield of wool is certainly
most satisfactory. p. G. .HolbrOok, a
near neighbor to Mr.. Brown, has twenty
sheen, s of which are One-fourth MerinO,
and II are scrubs, They have been as
well fed and cared for as Mr.. Browns eX-
cept they run at large. They yielded 40
pounds of wool this spring-20 pounds
was she AIRED from the quarter MerinOs,
and 20 pounds from the II scrubs. The
experience of Messrs. Brown and HOl-
brook is in favor of pastures, even if they
are small, it demonstrates the value
of improved breeds, and that sheep hus-
bandry can be made a success in this
county.
