from strong winds. Second The
straw is of better quality both for the
purpose Of food and manure. AS an
article of food the value of any vegeta-
bic depends upon the gross quantity or
upon the combination OF certain sub
stances termed soluble from their en-
tering into union with water. This
rule applies particularly 10 the grasses
which are used for the purpose OF feed
ing stock. The substances generally
found in these grasses are sugar, muci-
lage or starch and gluten or albumen.
Of these sugar is no doubt the most,
and the eXtractive matter the least nu-
tritive. The latter comes away in the
manure of the animal consuming it,
while the other matters are absorbed
by the body as food. Wheat is con-
sidered a species OF grass and the value
of the straw as an article of food de-
ponds upon the quantity ofnutritive mat
ter contained in it. This nutritive mat
ter must be very small in straw when
cut fully ripe. Straw cut while in a
succulent state retains all of its nutri
tive qualities, but If cut when fully ripe
and the straw completely dry, very lit
tie is retained.
As manure, straw cut in a succulent
state is equally superior to the ripe as it
the food the better the manure from it.
Manure from stock consuming this
straw containing fair proportion ofnu
tritive matter must be Of more value
than that from stock consuming ripe
straw with scarcely any in it.
And where the farmer converts his
straw into manure without undergoing
digestion the unripe straw is also pref
cradle, as unripe vegetables are ma
nures without preparation, soluble and
nutritive extracts which they contain be-
ing the principal agents in forming veg
etable manure, as they not only com
bine to render the process of decompo-
sition the more rapid by breaking down
the woody fbres in the manure heap,
but are also in their pure and separate
states stimulant to vegetation.
1t is admitted by most farmers if not
by all, that wheat cut in the dough
yields the most -four to the bushel. In
an experiment to ascertain this fact, a
crop of wheat was cut at five stages Of
its growth from one month until fully
ripe. That cut two weeks before ripe
and Is OF bran to the 100 pounds of
grain. That cut fully ripe was the best,
giving ~ pounds of flour, but II of Sec
onds and Is Of bran. Not only does it
give more -four, but it seems to yield
as we'll if not more in the dough state.
Some farmers say wheat cut in the
dough or unripe state will deteriorate
This point will agree that it will not
terminate as well, although l have OBJ
served that beans planted before fully
ripe will terminate readily and I am in
cllned to think all other vegetables will.

Cutting Wheat Early.

To cut wheat ten days or two weeks
before fully ripe has many advantages.
First, it gives more time to harvest it
and thus fewer hands are needed, con-
sequently less expense. The farmer
can take better advantage of the wealth
er. If the weather is good he can Sc
cure great portion of his wheat before
of cutting when fully ripe. If the
weather is not favorable he can wait;
SO under any circumstances his chances
for securing his crop are greater. Hav-
ing more time to save his grain he can
and will take more care in saw
ing it. There is less waste in moving
or reaping and no danger of shaking

Rules for Planting windbreaks.

The influence of the windbreak is To-
cal and almost entirely mechanical. 1t
prevents the fierce sweep of wind over
the surface of the ground, and there
fore tends to diminish evaporating from
the soil and from plants, especially in
cold weather, and to lessen the me-
chanical injury 10 trees and bush fruits
It is apparent to all good observers,
however, that wind breaks are some
times injurious. There must be
certain rules to govern their planting
The most important of these rules, for
Michigan especially, may be briefly
stated:
|. The windbreak should not obstruct
atmospheric drainage. Cold air is heavi
er than warm air, and it therefore set
ties into the lower areas. Elevated
areas are consequently warmer than
low ones in still weather. Inasmuch
as these high lands are more wind
swept than others, it has become COM
mon impression that the wind itself is
IN some manner a protection to fruit
plantations, whereas the protection
really comes from atmospheric drain
age. The windbreak upon most of the
elevated areas, therefore, should be open
enough to allow of the tree drainage of
the air. In such localities tight wall
of evergreens is apt to be positively in
furious. Deciduous trees, with perhaps
sparse admiXture of evergreens,
make the better wIndbreaks for such
places. 1t should be born in mind
that the object is not to stop the wind
but rather to break its force, to check
it. BreakWaters are often made of a
network of naked spiles rather than a
solid wall.
In many interior localities dense
windbreak on the north and west ex-
cites an early growth in tender fruits,
thereby increasing danger from late
spring frosts- Hence:
2. The windbreak should never be
dense enough to force the buds on
fruit trees, in those localities which are
subject to late spring frosts. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that spruces and ever
greens should be planted sparingly IN
such places, and that deciduous trees,
which do not come early into leaf,
should be chosen.
One of the most disastrous effects of
the wind in the orchard, and especially
in small fruit plantations, is the sweep
ing of the surface of the ground, caus-
ing excessive evaporation, carrying off
the STOW and thereby exposing the
roots and crowns Of the plants to dan
ger. Therefore:
AS q IlilC, LII 1OCdiAlACo HAOI az
mospheric drainage will not be serious
ly checked, the windbreak should have
comparatively dense bottom. formed
by underground or ow-branching trees.
AL crops closely adjoining the wind
break suffer from lack of moisture and
food supply, and many small plants, as
bush fruits and nursery stock, are brok-
en- by the accommodating snow. Hence:
4. So far as practicable, the wind
break should be planted at distance of
six rods or more from the fruit planta-
ton.
In our severe climate only the most
hardy and vigorous trees should be
planted; or, in other words:
5. Native trees and shrubs are prefer
able for windbreaks. Of exotic trees,
only the Norway spruce and apple are
desirable for windbreaks in Michigan

Mr.. Elkins 10 q firm believer in the in
dustrial future OF the South. In his
striking speech at Wheeling he aeserIt
that the tides Of immigration and popuIa'
ton, which for eighty years have bean
moving westward, sweeping past one
frontier after another and breaking against
the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific, are
now settling towards West Virginia and
the Southwest. He not only predicts that
the next great advance in material pros
perity will be In the South, but mSrshals
facts and statistics TO prove that the new
era has already opened with the develop
ment Of mines and agricultural resources,
the improvement Of transportation taclli-
ties and the rapid growth Of mAnuiaC'
lures. So eloquent does he become in
expanding this theme that we suspect
that his West Virginia auditors are al.
ready convinced that the future centre OF
empire and population will lie in their
own mountains and valleys. So cogent
plea for the development Of the indus.
trial resources OF the Southern States
ought to inspire the sluggish population
OF that section with spirit OF Northern
enterprise. West Virginia, Northern
Georgia, Tennessee and Northern Ala
bams have all the natural resources re.

powerful industrial communities. Public
spirit and enlightened enterprise are
