advantage to the wheat at any time. II is a weed, checking the growth of the main crop, and of no particular value as a protection against severe cold. Some Illinois farmers, when they began winter wheat growing a few years ago, took pains to SOW oats with winter wheat, thinking this might prove protection, but one or two years trial satisfied most of them that their experiment was a mistake.
 That good growth of the wheat plant itself is desirable is generally conceded, but 1t is less because of the protection that a bushy top of leaves affords, than because this growth shows like habit of the roots beneath the surface. If the top Is low and spreading, the roots also extend horizontally on either side, hold ing to the soil and ready to rise or fall as it is moved by alternate freezing and thawing. It is impossible to get wheat growth that shall protect the newly cul- tivated soil beneath it from freezing. It is not cold that kills wheat, but rather the breaking of roots that penetrate the soil vertically. The wheat roots are more apt to run downward when the plant is crowded by weeds of any kind than where 1t has room to spread on either side. Thus too thick seeding with wheat may cause it to winter kill The plants, instead of protecting, crowd and injure each other.
 Spring grain not being hardy, has a further injurious effect. AS we have ex- plained, the first severe freezing kills oats and barley outright. The leaves wither and rot down. The roots lose their grip and are thrown upon the sur face. All this loosens the soil, which for winter wheat needs to be as compact as possible, so as to exclude superluous water. The soil soon fills with water like 8 sponge, and when 1t freezes 1t in- evitably heaves up much of the wheat imbedded in it.
 Since the introduction of self-binding harvesters, there has been much less wastage of spring grain by scattering in the field. We believe that this Is better for the ensuing wheat crops. If dry weather follows the summer grain har- vest, the scattering grain lies on or in the ground until about the time for wheat sowing, and both come up to gether. With wet weather following the harvest, there is time for the fallen grain to germinate, and be cultivated under as a manure. It is worth more for this use than for any other, and it Is commonly better to delay seeding until this scatter. Ing growth can be cultivated under though this may make the seeding later than to sow early, and have the wheat choked down by a foreign growth There is considerable value in the young grain as fertilizer, but little or none as a protection against freezing.

Progress of the Draught Horse Interest in
 This Country-The Demand for Grade
 Drsught Horses an Established Feature
 In the Horse Trade
 The year 1888 will be remembered by everybody interested in the importation of draught horses as one of unusual activity and extensive trade to the i'm porters of the United States. These stout, well built, muscular horses have included alike the heavy animals from Great Britain, from France and from Belgium. There is no one breed that will please all alike, hence we have Percherons and French draught horses from France, Clydesdales from Scotland, the Shires from England, Belgian horses from Belgium and the coach horses from England and France.

A SIMPLE DEVICE.

A bolted on the back side Of the evener, and the clovis made longer. The clovis pin goes through the bolt hole of the spring. Two good bolts are required to attach the spring firmly to the evener. The spring is composed of two lifts, :" one and three-fourth inches wide. The out curve of the spring is about two inches, and in rough way one end of the evener is like the accompanying dia- gram. A horse must do his best to bring the spring up against the wood, so that in ordinary work the spring gives from half inch to an inch. This does away with all cumbersome coils. The ordi- nary whiffietree is used, and the weight of the doubletree is not increased beyond four pounds. If every teamster and farmer would use such a starter for the team there would be far less shoulder sore and blemished horses than are seen at present.

prot.cti.g rre.s from Rasb,t..

An Illinois fruit grower, writing on the subject of rabbits in orchards, says: Among the various remedies suggested, such as poisoning the animals, surround ing the trees with wire netting, or wrap ping with cloths saturated with oil or tar, have never found one so easily and cheaply applied as assafetida. I put a teaspoonful of the tincture in half a bucketful of liquid clay and apply it with a brush to the stem and branches of young trees, and it keeps the rabbits away and does not hurt the trees. About three applications are required through the winter.

An Unpatented Bee Hive.

The bee hive shown in our illustration Is an unpatented and "open to all" farm CTS bee hive. Southern Cultivator de- scribes it as being sufficiently simple to admit of any ingenious person making 1t with little trouble and expense. It has been used in several states with varying results, some bee keepers having reported success with 1t, while others were not as fortunate. As many farmers prefer to make cheap hive at home rather than purchase from a manufacturer, the Cultivator's description is here repro duced:
 The diagram is thus explained: A IS a tube; b, an opening into the hive; c, a

Seed Potatoes.

Gardeners, as rule, are in favor of changing the seed of potatoes frequently. Experience seems to have proven the de- sirability of this change, and leaves little doubt but that planting the same kind year after year on the same soil tends to weaken the variety.

SPRING GRAIN IN WINTER WHEAT

 The American Cultivator glves expres. sion to the following views on spring grain in winter wheat:

Strawberry Beds in Winter.

There Is no doubt but that a slight mulch or cover over the straw wberry beds is great advantage during winter, says Prairie Farmer. While the plants may not winter kill, the leaves do, and hence, the plant has to make new leaves in tho spring. If very slightly protected, the leaves keep green and are ready to do duty in the first days of spring, both as protectors to the crowns and to elabor- ate sap, until the new ones take their places. Partially decayed manure, lightly laid over, acts afterwards as q stimulant. Clean straw or cornstalks make good cover, and are not likely to introduce noxious weeds. The circunl- stances will indicate what to use. Ever green boughs, where obtainable, would answer, but they are not usually on tho prairie.
 The United States Fish commission, it is claimed, has accomplished more, both of practical work and in the line of original investigation looking to practi- cal work in the immediate future, this year than during any previous season h its history.

FIG. 1-FRENCH DRACouT HORSE.
 The increased importations noticed Is the outcome of a constantly growing demand for imported draught stallions Everywhere the demand for grade draught horses is becoming an established feature of the horse trade. Not only are these required for street car purposes, for heavy delivery wagons, etc., in large cities, but our more progressive farmers are employing horses for the heavy work on their farms that combine the several desirable qualities of size, weight, en- durance and action.

New Wood Hardening Process.

''The recently invented process, says
Iron, by which wood is made to take on
some of the special characteristics of metal
has been turned to practical account in Ger
many BY this process the surface becomes
50 hard and smooth as to be susceptible of a
nigh polish, and may be treated with a
,urnisher OF either glass or porcelain, the
appearance Of the wood being then in every
aspect that of polished metal, having, in
act, the semblance of a polished mirror,
nut with this peculiar and advantageous
Inference, namely, that, unlike metal, it is
Unaffected by moisture. To reach this re-
:ult the wood is STEPPED in a bath of caustic
lkali for two or three days together, ac-
:ording to its degree of permeabi1ity, at a
emperature of between 165 and 1917 degrees
fahrenheit It is then placed in second
oath of hydrosulphate Of calcium, to which
i concentrated solution OF sulphur is added
3sfter some twenty four or thirty-six hours.
The third bath is one Of acetate Of lead, at
temperature Of from 95 to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, and in this latter the wood is
allowed to remain from thirty to fifty hours.
After being subjected to Il thorough drying
it is in a condition for being polished with
cad, tin or zinc, as may be desired, finish
-ng the process with u burnisher, when the
wood apparently becomes piece OF shining.

Inc woman with an umbrella, in the first

oriental potentates the umbrella is q sign Of
Hanth ority3 I'M virtue of which all beholders
are expected to understand that it is their
tsnty to make way and give the road to- the
exclusive use of the high and mighty lord
q the umbrella. In virtue Of scme subtle
instinct the moment a woman takes IN her
naSd snnshade and walks abroad, all the
orleqtal significance Of that insignia
seems to impress itself upon her soul,
ana the goes forth to take posses
sion q the streets that have become
hers by right. Unfortunately she lacks
the guards which are provided to en-
force reSpect to the unfurled umbrella
OF the potentates she initiates, and she is,
therefore, sbliged to do her own fighting.
But with what glorious and effective zeal
she does it How men who venture rashly
to come in hey way are swept aside, their
hats knocked in the dust, their eyes
prodded, their faces scratched by the points
with Which the circumference OF the para
sol bristles. How women who presume to
display like signs Of rank are hustled,

woman goes far to redeem the charge Of
weakness and physical infenority.
The result Of the triumphal progress of

Her path is strewed with wrecks. Bias
