FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Depth to Sow Wheat.

Experiments in sowing by MT. Charles A. Plumb at the Geneva (N. Y.) Experi- ment Station showed that wheat sown from one quarter, and from this to one half, threc-quarters, one, one and half, two, and two and half inches deep germinatcd from ninety-one down to eighty grains-thc latter at two and two and half inches-pcr 100 sown. But the winter killing was most severe in the grains slightly covered, being eighty seven plants at one-quarter inch and only eight at two and half inches deep. From this latter depth down to depth of seven inches the results were more and more unfavorable At six and seven inches only nine plants came up. The conditions were bad and the winter-kill- ing severe, and undoubtedly from the fact that in deep seeding the plants come up exceedingly weak, are obliged to put out surface roots for support, and hence remain weak. The results-and these have been pretty constant in other like cxperiments-show that anywhere from two to three inches, according to whether the soil be heavy or light, is the proper depth for sowing wheat. But in this connection the farmer must not be misled in the sowing of spring grains. From one to one and half inches is the proper depth for wheat and rye, and somewhat more for barley and oats. In flax the best results will probably come in covering not to exceed one inch. The grain thus throws out its feeding roots within the influence of heat and moisture, gradually going deeper and deeper as the season advances.

The Barnyard.

Of all the leaks on a farm, says the Rural World, leaky, sloping barnyard is the worst The time -honored fashion of placing the barn on knoll or the highest spot of land near the house is a most reprehensible one. More wealth glides away from such a sunny, elevated barnyard than can be computed. It must reach far up into the millions annually. The number of barns that are so placed that the water that falls from the roof at each rain and rushes through and washes out the most valuable soluble portions, can be numbered by the hundreds of thousands
 Every level-headed farmer has, or should have, a level or slightly concave barnyard, much in the form of an invert- ed watch crystal. If fiat, and the bot tom is of clay, the outer edge should be raised to height of at least one foot, so that no water would escape that had fallen ill the form of rain.
 For the purpose of converting the largest proportion of the wheat straw in- to valuable manure, the stack should be built in the centre of such yard, and sufficient straw be scattered from time to time to keep the yard in passable con tion.
 To make the manure heap of the great est value, the manure of the various kinds of farm animals should be daily or ire quently scattered over the straw in the yard, so that each, possessing distinct i've value of its own, would become thor oughly comminglcd, and thus form a manure in common, that is especially we'll adapted to growing all kinds of crops Such daily or weekly deposits in the manure bank enable the thrifty far mer to check out from time to time a reasonable amount of valuable manure without danger of overdrawing his ac- count. The farmer who has a good bank of well-decomposed manure made annually subject to his order, is, and can be, the only true independent one, for the income derived from abundant crops will as surely make him so as ten times ono are ten. Feed the soil, and it will, in turn, feed, clothe and enrich you.

The uewIy-made-happy man returned to

not subsidized. The GLoEE-REPUBIIC pub
li>hed her death exclusively last night.
Before She died She told her sister that she
had gone to town intending to kill Ieiner,
then herself: that when she failed she came
home by the gravel pit and thought she
would drown herself. but could not because
there We're two men near there. Then she
thought she could hang herself i'll the barn
and tried for half-hOur before going into
the house to find some way 10 accomplish it.
She told her sister. also that she tried hard
to fight of the feeling, but could not. That
she felt when she returned to the house that
she could not live another day. She got
the musket, and watching her opportunity
when none of the family We're in the room,
shot herself in the manner described.

One Minute Coffee at the Arcade Grocery


Would respectfully announce Ia the pub
lie that have finally accomplished, after
years of labor and heavy expense. to con
vert the Oregon mill into a first-claSS Hun
gariam l'rucc>S mill. Mills built on this
system are hut few, and they require more
elaborate and expensive system OF ma
chinen than mills built on the common run
of process mills now in operation. and We.
claim to manufacture flour equal Ia the hest
mills in the northwest. 1t is claimed that
flour made on this high process will make
nicer, whittier and sp"ngier bread. which will
retain moisture and sweet taste longer than
bread made from flour which is manufac-
tured of the cheap roller process. and il is
proved that this new granulated. sharp
tiUur. which is made on porcelain rollers
instead of iron ones. will absorb murt,
water and make considerable more bread to
the barrel than flour made on the cheap
roller process, which makes HAT flour and
consequently heavy bread.
Ask your grocer for kratochwill'S Snow
Flake and Patent Process Flour. Ii is the
best, cheapest and most uniform flour in
the market.

THE ART OF EUROPE,
The First Lecture uf MIR. Harrison's Course
at Blacks Opera House.

A satisfactorily large audience sat III the
darkrned opera house last night and fol
lowed Mr.. Harrison in his art tour last
night with an interest that never tagged.
The pictures are the finest of the kind ever
seen III this city. Thrown upon canvas
" hich covered the whole of the large stage,
each article was I,erfect and the pictures a.
a whole were aS hne a. steel engraNngs.
There Was none of the clumsy. bunging
panorama or ordinary calcium light about
the change of ~cemeS- when one scene
folded 0utanother emerged and took its place
without friction or jar. Prof. Harrison is
au admirable lecturer. He has none of the
formal lecture style. lie maintains the
easy. dlgnimed conversational style which
hrnts his subject and by which he leads his
audience with him through the realms Of
art and nature. Paris, with its palaces, its
tTiumphal arches. its columns erected to
mark the deeds Of heroes, its houlryardS
all were depicted in series of perfect
pictures enforced by the brief and graceful
description of one who felt thrilled by his
subject. How could the audience resist
going with the speaker in his TambleS
among the marbles and bronzeS and can
vases which ornament the Louvre, the
Luxembourg, Versailles and the cathrdralN
which rear their impressive fronts in this
center of civilization.
Then Switzerland. with its historic lakes
its SmOw-Capped mountain submits. its
glaciers, where mighty rivers have their be
ginning, its awe-inSpiring canyons. its shell
tered valleys, its picturesque cities and 10
mantle valleys followed. and showed what
nature could offer as an offset to the works
/ of man. The audience in spite OF itself ap-
| plauded warmly several of the scenes which
| were particularly effective in design and
composition. To all who heard il the lee
! ture was 81 far above the ordinary deScriP-
tive talk of this character, 80 scholarly with
out pedantry. 80 critical and simple, that ii
charmed and delighted and remains ~ a
most pleasant memory.
