AND ShAllJOW fLANIlNG.
The figures in the second cut show
the comparative strength of the deep
and shallow planting as these crops
approach maturity. No invariable rule
can be given for the best depth. 1t must
vary with the character of the soil and
OF the season. If the surface soil is
moist enough, one inch would be better
than two, and two inches better than a
greater depth. But if a sufficient prepa-
ration has been given, it is only on the
hghtest soil that a greater depth than
two inches will be required With
rough land and clods, it may be neces-
sary to give a greater depth.
Gardeners have found it important to
firm tie soil in order to insure the ger
mination of fine seed sown slightly be-
low the surface. For large seed this
operation is less essential, but cases NAV
occur when with dry or loose soil, roll
ing the ground may be of much use.
But whenever. resorted to, advises the
authority quoted, the farmer should
carefully observe if it makes the parti-
cles OF soil adhere together, in which
case il will do more harm than good.
The same care must be used whether to
SOW tefore or after rain, where the
farmer has the choice.
If the soil is granular or cloddy a
shower may aid in making it mellow
when worked and better fitted to COM
press all the sides of the seeds. On such
land, sowing before rain may leave the
seed lying loosely among the clods. But
long and heavy rain may render the
soil unfit to be worked, and preceding it
would be better time. 1t is absolutely
necessary for the farmer to use his judg-
ment n all cases of the kind

What Others Saw.

'Le5 any dairyman who finds it neces-
sary to keep several skimmings of cream
tocollsct enough for a churning submerge
it until sufficient quantity is obtained,
then ripen it all at once, and my word
for it ne win find safe, practical and
profitable solution of the oxidation, era-
ton, stirring bugbear," says John Boyd.
Examine young fruit trees of all
kinds and if borings or sawdust are
seen on the ground hunt for the hole and
probe out the grub with piece of wire,
advises American Agriculturist.
Any land upon which water stands
more than twenty -four hours after a
rainfall, however heavy, is pronounced
by excellent authority to be unfit for any
orcha ID without thorough tile draining,
and ut safe even with it, because there
is alwa ays the risk of the tiles being OBJ
structed with roots, and the trees be-
comm G unthrifty in consequence.

gress will both be held in Paris during

FIG. I-GERMINATION OF WINTER WHEAT.
A sat sfactory and instructive expert
ment. teaching valuable and durable
lesson may be made, says Country Gen
tleman, by preparing thoroughly strip
of land, and especially with mellow sur
face, and sowing the grain on it just deep
enough to germinate freely; and on an
other strip without good preparation set
ting the tubes of the drill six inches or
more in depth, and then observe the
difference.
Or the experiment may be tried on a
more limited scale The seed covered at
a moderate depth will start at once and
grow freely, as shown by Fig. 1; the
deeply covered seed will be several days
longer in coming up, the time will be
lost, and before it can get strong hold
of the soil it must throw out a new set
of roots nearer the surface, as in Fig. 2.
In experiments made by Country
Gentleman, seed buried one inch deep
came up in six days, two inches deep in
seven days, and four inches deep in ten
days. A month later the one inch plants
were stronger than the two inch and
much stronger than the deeper paintings.

CHEEKY Words

From q gentleman of Texas to his own
people, and all others over the country
Hear what he says:
have been practical druggist in
Tyler for number Of years, and in that
time have had occasion to examine. try,
and notice the effect of nearly all the
highly recommended preparations or pat
ent medicines on the market, and as I
have suffered untold misery myself, the
past number of years, from severe form
of inflammatory rheumatism, and could
find nothing to cure or relieve me, had
almost drawn a conclusion that all pat
ent medicines were more or less frauds
until about one year ago, l was in
duced by friend now living in Tyler. to
try preparation known as 3 B. or Bo.
tanic Blood Balm, and after long per-
suasion on his part, 1 finally made up
my mind to make one more effort to rid
myself of the terrible ffliction; and it
now affords me the greatest pleasure of
my life to state to the citizens of Smith
county that am entirely cured, with no
traces of the disease left, and all effected
by the magic healing properties of B. B.
B., which / consider the grandest, purest
and most powerful blood remedy known
to man. l have been subject to in.
fiammatory attacks since ten years of
age, and up to the present time have had
four. The last spell came on me in
November, 1885, over a year
ago. at which time was
confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass
ing the nights In misery, with no sleep
except when produced by narcotics and
various Opiates. The week previous to
using B. B. B. up to that time had only
eaten six meals, and could scarlely sit up
without support; but after using three
bottles l was able to relish my meals and
to walk up town. and after six bottles
had been used, thank heaven, l was en-
tirely cured. and not the slightest pain
felt since that time. When l returned to
business in February, my weight was 145
pounds, but gradually increased until my
regular weight was again attained. 210
pounds. The noticeable fact in what /
have so cheerfully stated is. that this un-
paralleled and remarkable discovery, B.
b. B., cured me in mid winter, at the
very time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. take it on myself as a
practical druggist to heartily. cheerfully.
as well as conscientIously, recommend
this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers
of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not
only myself, but the firm of Mckay &
