I A CORRESPONDENCE Of the Rural Ne,o Yorker
suggests that good way to SOW large
field with oats is to go around, instead Of
crossing back and forth, keeping the geared
wheel Of the seeder on the outside, SO that it
will SOW in turning the corners, then, when
you come to harvesting, go around the same
way; then your last sowing will he cut last.
IT Is . great mistake not to SOW grass seed
enough to secure q fair stand. A peck Of
clover seed and . peck Of timothy is not too
much to sow on land in good condition.
Much less would do il it all grew, but it will
not, and the birds will carry of some of it.
1t is far cheaper to pay little extra for
seed than to have weed patches all over the
field to inflict o positive damage by their
growth.
A CORRESPONDENT in Farm and Garden
writes: 81 wish all horsemen knew the
value Of sunfower seed. It is not only one
OF the best remedies for the heaves, but a
horse that has recently foundered can be
entirely cured by giving half pint twice a
day for awhile in his feed. took an other
wise valuable young horse last fall which
was 80 stir that you could hardly get it out
of its stall, and in two weeks you would not

AMERICAN LANGUAGE.
We VIII Have It as Soon as We Have q Pure
American Race.

We VIII Have It as Soon as We Have Pure
American Race.
It is heretofore been the belief held
by the philosophers and thinkers from
the earliest times that language is an
evolution growing in developement as
human thought needed vocal vehicle
for expression, Savage tribes with an
extremely limited range of ideas, and
whose actual transactions of daily life
embraced only the simplest facts,
wonld necessarily have need for an
extremely simple and scant language.
AS they might advance in civilization
and culture, they would improve their
language to meet the necessities of ex-
preston. The invention of alleged
universal languages by the act of a sin
gle individual sets all the laws of lin.
guistic evolution at naught, and can
therefore accomplish nothing useful IN
any large sense. The history of the
English language presents great
number of facts which illustrate this
evolution. Since no race SO far as
known possesses an indigenous or
original civilization, but has ALWAYS
learned from some external and superior
source, SO there is no language which
is complete in itself, developed from
indigenous roots without admixture
from the exterior. The English tongue,
composed as it is of many diverse ele-
ments. has long been undergoing the
processes of evolution which must con-
tinue to operate for a great period in the
future. so that the day will come when
the language will be as different from
the English of to-day as is our Ian guage
from that of Chaucer. In America the
development must take to itself forces
and forms which will never come into
operation in the mother country, and
finally through their intervention we
will have distinctively American Ian
guage. 1t is impossible to formulate
an American language until we cease
to have constant and extensive acces.
sions Of foreign immigration; until,
indeed, we can assimilate and absorb
all tho admixture of foreign blood.
Then we Will have an American race,
then we viii have an American Ian.
