Wheat Sowing.
Rural Htu Yorker,

Rural Htu Yorker,
During our farm experience OF twenty
years, every year Of which We have raised
wheat, we fancy we have learned ono or
two things; that is, for a light or sandy
soil, though as a matter OF fact a sandy
Ia heavier than clay soil One OF the
things we have learned is 10 pIow the oat
stubble as soon as possible after harvest.
Oats In our rotation always pre-
Cedes wheat and timothy seeding,
Whether farm manure IL spread or not,
our wheat seems to be benefited by u
light dressing oil q complete fertilizer just
before sewing. The land Is then r lied
and narrowed. For several years We
rolled both before and after seeding, but
were convinced that 1t Is not q good thing
to do. The rolled surface bakes and cause
the rain, instead Of soaking directly into
the soil, to form cutters and 10 run in lit
tie streams here and there, 1t also ap-
pesred that wheat rolled after seeding did
not stand the winters as well, being killed
out In places.
Who can nationally advise farmers IN
general as to the quantity Of wheat that
had best be sown per RGreP Who can not,
Some wheats tiller little, others q good
deal. The amount OF seed for wheat
must be determined accordingly. Ia your
land light or heavy, we'll or imperfeGGly
drained, rich or poor2 Every farmer
must consider the questions for himself
and SOW accordingly. From careful ex-
perlencs made years ago We settled upon
one and q half bushels to tho acre for
either Olawson, Silver, Chat or Fultz.

What Is Observed in the After Life of Pro.
OoclouS Children.
Popular Science Monthly
The idea that genius reveals itself carly
in life does not ut once recommend itselfto
common sense. Observation Of nature as
q whole suggests, first Of oil perhaps that
her choicer and more costly gifts are the
result Of long process Of preparation.
And however this may be, there Is Ger.
tainly more moral sugges.ivOness In the
thought that intellectual distinction IL
the reward OF strenuous adolescence and
manhood than in tho supposition that 1t
can be reached by the stripping at a
bound through sheer force oil native
talent. And may not imprObably have
been lively perception OF this ethical
significance which fostered In the classic
mind 30 widespread u disbelief in early
promises Of great intellectual power. We
find q typical expression Of this sentiment
in the sayings Of QuintilIian: "Illud in.
geniOrum velut plHcoxgenus non temere
umquam pervenit ad fruguem." That Is
to say, the early blossom OF talent is rarely
followed by tho fruit OF great achievement.
1t Is evident that this saying embodies
something like u gsnetal theory Of the re.
lation between rank Of talent and rate Of
development. Where superior intel.
lectual ability shows itself at an early date,
it Is OF the sort that reaches its full statue
early, and 40 never attRins to the greatest
height. On the other baud, genius
OF the finer order declares itself
more slowly. In order to esti-
mate the soundness OF this view two
lines Of INJURY would be necessary. We
should need to ask, first OF all, what pro.
portion OF those who have shown marked
precocIty have aiterward redeemed the
promise Of their youth; secondly, what
number oil those who have unquestionably
obtained q place among the great were
previously distinguished by preeocity.
These two lines ofinvestigation are, how
ever, In measure distinct. II may turn
out that a large proportion Of clever chill
dren never attain TO anything but to
medioCriLy In later lii5, and yet that the
mljority Of great men have been rOmark-
abl0 as children. Hence, we may contine
ourselves In the present essay to the
second branch Of the above inquiry, the
retrogresSiye search for BignB Of precoCity
In the early lii4 Of those who have attained
distinction.
