Preparing Soil for Seeding.

The depth to which plow should
be run depends on the character of
the soil and the kind of crop to be
grown. Wheat and beans require
deeber range of feeding area than
barley. The stiffest and poorest
soils generally need more working
than good land. Another point to
be kept in view is this, contradictory
as the statement may seem: that
while tillage loosens a stiff soil, it
has the opposite effect upon naturally
light and porous soil. This arises
from the fact that sandy soil, by
being frequently stirred, becomes
finer and finer in its grains or par
tlcles, which render its density
greater and porosity less. The har-
row and clod crusher will have an
important part to play in the farm
operations of the next month or two.
Any roughness on the surface must
be thoroughly wrought down. 1t is
impossible to cover the seed salts
factorily with the soilin lump masses
while much of the plant feeding in.
gradients are thus locked up. The
advantages of fine filth are man
fold, but the principle of these are
Fust. that it increases the absorbent
and retentive powers of the soil, and
econd, that it renders the inert ma
te,'als, organic and inorganic, con
yer tible into soluble plant food.

Observers who do not observe as

Unite d States has passed its climax,
that Ii. will steady decrease IN the
next few years and that as a prott-
able occupation it no longer leads,
saws the Milling World. Let us see.
This country has now about 65,OOO,-
600 inhabitants. The wheat con
sumed by them averages about
100000. 900 bushels annually. We
raise a surplus of from 80,OoO,OOo to
10000. 900 bushels year on our
nresent average. Taking the latter
Sgnre as basis for calculation and

other words, in 1909 the Unll =
States sowing only the present acre
age to wheat, will have no surp lus

rv. 1t is easy to understand that,as
the demand outgrows the supply
relatively, as the home consumption
graduallyovertakes production,wheat
growing may yet becme more prot
liable industry than it is now or has
ever been. European economic
writers foresee the inevitable expan-
sion of the home consumtpiondemand
in the United States and they appre-
ciate the situation so well and so
thoroughly that thay openly advoc
ate the development of India or any
other wheatgrowing ountry that
promises to grow oUgh wheat to
supply Europe's needs when the
American supply shall he needed tor
the American demand. Meanwhile,
wheat-growing in Anne RIGA remains
great industry that ST lows no signs
of decadence and tn ut promises
great things for the futI ire.

An English Reporter.

General Pryor tells an amusing story.
When he was in England defending the
Irish patriots he was quite desirous of
spreading his views before the British pub
lie. 1t Is much harder to get at an English
editor than at an American, but finally
communications were established, and one
evening there was subdued knock at the
door at his room in his hotel. Come in
said General Pryor. The door opened
about six inches, and through the aperture
sidled dilapidated specimen of humanity.
Softly closing the door the dilapidated
specimen put his dilapidated hat on the
floor and, bowling hunbly, uttered, "Gen-
eral Pryor, believe" "Yes, am General
Pryor what can ! do for you ?" 81 am a
reporter, sir, and was sent to ask if you
would give your views on the American
aspect of the Irish question ?''
Everybody who knows General Pryor
well, knows that he is one Of the most af-
fable of men, and in this case he meant to
Ee particularly pleasant, for he wanted to
be interviewed. But forgetting that he
was not in New York, he followed the
usual practice of statesmen in this country,
and began with My dear fellow, l really
haven't anything to say" intending this of
course as a prelude 10 long conversation.
What was his astonlshment when the spe-
cimen grabbed his hat, genuileeted still
more humbly than before, calculated
THANK you, sir; thank you, sir" and dis
appeared. To have a reporter give up the
struggle so quickly SO surprised the Gen
eral that he really sat in chair paralyzed
for the moment, and before he could re-
cover the Englishman had gone, and the
interview was lost.

California Freight Only Fifteen Days on
the Road to Philadelphia,
While walking along Delaware avenue,
reporter of this paper" says the Phila-
phia North american, saw at Clyde's New
York delivery pier huge pyramid of
salmon in cases. Having recently read of
the large catches in the Columbia river. he
was inclined to think that these salmon
were the California product but the cases
seemed in too good order to have travelled
such distance, looking more as if they
had been placed upon the wharf by a
neighbOrins cannery. He found that the
popular Sunset route had actually brought
them from San Francisco to Philadelpbia
in fifteen days. The bill of lading bore
date San Francisco, July oath, and the goods
were in Philadelphia, August Sth. Not
understanding how this could be accomp-
lished he called at the Philadelphia office
to ascertain, at which place he was cheer
fully given the information which settled
the question.
The Sunset route, he learned, has estab-
lished q regular fast. freight tram service
from San Francisco, connecting at New
Orleans with their Morgan line of steamers.
and they claim to be able to regularly
make similar time, per these specials,
which leave the Pacific coast on Wednes-
day and Saturday nights. The ordinary
time made by this freight line is eighteen
days-not slow travel by any means, for
freight which but few years ago was not
less on an average than one month on the
road. Their present fast freight train
service might properly be termed the
Southern Pacifc's Sunset route fast t-freight

ing OF restrictions on the privileges at pres

knocking down fellow-countryman on
Fifth street last Sunday evening, and re-
Heving him of $75 in coin, was set for
Wednesday next.
1t was expected there would be contest
in the case Of Eddy, the private detective,
charged with carrying a concealed weapon,
but when the case was called his attorney
said he would withdraw his plea of not
guilty and substitute one of guilty. He
asked that the Court be lenient with the
defendant IS The latter thought he had a
right to carry weapon while engaged in
the detective business. The defendant
would get 6 permit as soon as possible
Judge Buckley fined Eddy g 50.
He won't get permit from me-" said
Chief Lee, SIS he departed from the Court
room.
The misGemeanor case against c. L. Kay
meyer was dismissed, on the filing of a
stipulation Of satisfaction.
The disturbance OF the peace case against
Newt. Dennis was also dismissed. The
complaint was that the defendant threw a
pebble, which struck small child in the
eye, slightly discoloring that organ.
William Doherty, charged with being
drunk and disturbing the peace, was not
present when his case was called. He had
left a deposit of SIS on the battery charge
and S5 for being drunk, and the whole was
declared forfeited.
George Green had stolen some tools from
carpenters who were working in w. r.
Strong & Co.'S store, and did not deny it.

ley sent him to Jail for ten days.
Charles Nelson, strapping "hayseed,"
was in for being drunk. Judge Buckley
saw al glance that Nelson was worker,
and he was discharged.
In the cases of E. Roe and Ed Boylan,
charged with disturbing the peace by in
dulging in 4 setto at the International
Hotel the night before, neither wanted to
prosecute the o:her, and both told just as
little of the Ehair as they were obliged to
diyulge. Roe, il appeared, was not the ag-
gressor aRi was discharged. while Boylan
was fined 50. Both seemed to have fully

pay his friend's fine.
