Z. TO SOW wia TER WHEAT.
Some Experiments in Methods of
- PutIlng in Winter Wheat.

:, Sowing wheat by different methods at
different depths. and with and without
smulching of straw, has been tried at the
Ohio experiment station. Velvet chaff
wheat was used, and the seeding was
done Oct. and 5, the ground being in
fine condition. The implement used
was the Buckeye grain drill, with va
rlous attachments. When the ordinary
hoe drill was used the grain yield was
greater than where the shoe drill was
tried. The use Of the, press !; with the
Shoe drill gave a larger yield
than where the shoe was used
alone. Where the press attachment
was added to the hoe drill no
gain was pereeptble. The yield from
seeding at different depths was very
uniform, there being less than three
bushels per acre difference between the
greatest and the least yield, though the
grain was little the best from the plot
sown two inches deep. and the straw
was the strongest Oh the plot sown. one
inch deep. Plot two was laid very hard
by rolling eight times with a farm
roller, but it did not benefit the: crop.
Where straw mulch was applied in
varying depths OF frem three TO eighteen
inches, only detrimeit to the crop APP
peared except where the. least mulch
was used. When the heaviest amount
of straw was applied, the wheat was
entirely killed. lal

The Ottumwa World Gives It's FIX
perience, Which Is Not Singular.
This week we paid Off that cancer
mortgage, and now feel like glass of
soda water. A mortgage is queer in
stitution. 1t makes a man rustic, and
it keeps him poor. 1t is a strong incen-
tive to action, and wholesome reminder
of the fleeing months and years. 1t is
fully as SymbOlieal in its meaning as the
hour-glass and seythe that mean death.
A mortgage also means industry, be-
cause it is never idle and it never rests.
1t Is like bosom friend, aecause the
greater the adversely the closer it
sticks to a fellow. 1t is like
brave soldier: it never hesitates at
charges, nor fears to close in on the
enemy. 1t is like the sandbag OF
the thug-silent, in application but
deadly-ln effect. 1t is like the hand of
Providence; it spreads over all creation,
and its influence is everywhere visible.
tits like the grasp of the deVil-fsh; the
longer its holds the greater it's strength.
lend activity to a sluggish brain, but no
matter how debtors work the mortgage
works still harder. A mortgage is q
good thing to have in the falnily-Dro-
yided, always, that it is in some other
fellows family. 1t is like a boil, al
ways good thing on somebody else.
1t makes fellow sour, cross, selfish,
unsociable and miserable, and rarely
does him any good, only to exercise
him. In that respect it is equal to Eigor
of life or the latest patent medicine.
We've had our last one SO far as we
know ourself. We would, rather nave
the ague than have mortgage. Adieu,
O death pail. adieu!

In EGYPT.
Some of the Products of That An.
Gent and Interesting Land.

Some of the Products of That An.
Gent and Interesting Land.
In 1887 the value of exported products
from Egypt Was Sa5, 100000 and the area
under cultivation during the same year
was 5. 953. 754 acres, but the crops for
the year covered over 1851, 1886 acres.
The reason of this dir erence is that by
the popularity OF their seasons they are
able to produce more than one crop per
year. They have three crop-producing
seasons, summer, winter and the au-
tumn OF season of Nile inundation, and
we find that the entire cultivable soil in
lower Egypt, or that subjected to the
Hoods, produces four crops in three
years, while in upper Egypt
the seasons allow but seven crops
in six years. There are now
over 2,436. 600 acres of cotton produced:
beans are cultivated in both regions, but
corn mostly III the upper. Wheat is
extensively cultivated. embracing
1,4S9.3 800 acres. Cattle and other ami
mails are produced in large numbers. In
1854. however, bovine typhus, a sort Of
fever, ragged as terrible epidemic
causing great losses. Since then the
African buffalo has been taking the
place of the OK in farm labor, as he is
less subject to the disease. Horses,
mules, sheep and goats are also raised.
As the Mussufman never eats pork the
hog is not found to any extent. Butter
and milk, both from the COW and buf-
falo, are quite extensively used. Fruits
and vines are also widely cultivated;
we find oranges and lemons of all var
ieties, dates, figs, pomegranates.a apples,
pears, piums, grapes, apricots and

POULTRY FOOD.
Success Depends Upon the Vari-
ETY. of Foods and treatment.

ely VI F0OdS 1fedtf10Ht.
There is 10 royal road to success in
producing size and condition. The Sc
cret, if any, depends upon the judlcious
use of a variety of foods as often as the
birds have a good appetite for them.
Not the least particle must be left
about, nor must they he fed an instant
longer than keen reil demands: the
greatpoint being to give them as much
as they require to assuage the pangs of
hunger. but to leave off just in time to
make them fancy they could eat more
in other words, to are off wit All
appetite. The best ,e.eple food, both
for old and young stock, is, undoubtedly,
wheat. Corn. another very useful food
for young stock is, probably, weight for
price, the cheapest food i'll the market,
the price being about 3 shilling and &
pence per sixty pounds. Oats, ir plump
and sound, are uneQualed for store
birds. With oats, however, weight
holds very important factor, as unless
they scale at least, thlrty-eight pounds
to the blshel they will be mainly husk;
and if very light there will be great
waste. Oats may be gotweighing forty
five pounds to the bushel, but they are
not very easy to tinq. 1t pays the
corn factor Infinitely better to sell
the lighter stuff at a rather low
price. While oats, weighing forty
pounds to the ibushel. are good food both
for old and young birds. Thin barley
the birds do not care for, while the best
barley, being mostly taken for mating
purposes. is both expensive and difficult
to OBTAIN. Ground oats is. a most useful
food for chickens il good. But while
Oyjyp chickens amnlV reOaV this outlay
l consider it too expensive to be profit
ably employed for full grown birds.
One thing must be clearly borne in
mind with poul try-that poor, thin,
mouldy failing are dear at any price,
and often engender disease.
Corn is By far the cheapest, and it
generally is so. In a large yard it may
be extensively used, to the profit of
both the nuchet and the birds

CHEMICALS CAUSE A BLAZE.
Fires Which Kept the Department
BuSV

Fire was discovered last evening in
Mussetter's drug store, corner Wabasha
and Third streets, and only prompt
arrival of the department prevented a
confagration. The fire, which probably
resulted from spontaneous combustion,
was confined to the chemical room in
the rear of the building. The damage
to stock and fixtures was estimated by
the proprietor at $500.
A frame dwelling at 236 Chestnut
street, owned and occupied by George
Higgins, was badly scorched by fire
about O'Clock last evening. The blaze
originated from an overheated stove
pipe in the attic, and the upper story
and contents were destroyed before the
flames were suhdued. The damage to
building and contents was about $500;
insurance, $3.50.

The stove as a means of heating cars
on the New York Central & Hudson
River rail1oad will be entirely abol-

During the past year the officials of
the New York Central in charge of it's
passenger equipment have been actively
employed in testing various devices for
heating cars by means of steam OBJ
tanned direct from the locomotive, and
have decided on system combining
simplicity of construction and manage
uent with the most satisfactory results.
A two-inch iron steam pipe runs under
each of the cars, connection between
the cars being male with metallic
ieillt and a sleeve. This main pipe
connects with system of pipes inside
each car, Que running lengthWise of the
ear. with branch pipes extending under
the seats. At the center OF each OF the
interior pipes is key by which the
steam from the main pipes call be cut
off thus reducing the temperature of a
single car without interfering with that
of cars more distant from the lOcolno-

We print very interesting and sug-

PUBLIC concerning one Of our great popu-
lar institutions, the Savings Bank. Per
haps no one of our local societies has been
the means of putting so much ready money
at the call of our people of moderate means
-workingmen and workiDgwomen, clerks,
bookkeepers, teachers, etc.-as the institu-
ton alluded to, which has afforded people
an opportunity Of making small
deposits, from time to time, and pay
ing simple interest upon them, and. when
the interest is allowed to remain, with the
principal, for series OF years, paying
compound interest. 1t is now believed by
gentlemen well informed in the affairs of
the bank and in financial matters generally,
that the institution will soon be in condition
TO pay dividends to stockholders-t. c. the
depositors. Every citizen-certainly every
officer of the bank and every depositOr and
