Even with sall seedia.. the

the condition of the soil must be taken
into consideration in dete~u ming the
depth 1t which the seed should be
planted Small, light seeds need bat
little covering. while the larger and
heavier need to be covered deeper.
When there IS plenty OF mois ure. less
covering is needed than Wien the soil
Is dry, and more covering 5 needed or
can be given when the soil IS warm
than when cold. With all 5scds a GER
tain amount OF hest and moisture is
necessary TO induce a good germina-
ton, and while il is often the case that
seed viii remain IN the soil for a con-
siderable length of time without ger
minating, because the conditions are
unfavorable, yet later on Il viii start
up and grow. IN fact. in 4 majority of
cases it is best TO get everything in
readiness SO that at the proper time
the seeding can be pushed as rapidly
as possible. With all crops, If the best
yield is secured. it is necessary to Sc
cure a good, even stand, and while it
is important to have the seed dis
t-ibuted as evenly as possible over the
surface, it is also necessary to SOW
under as favorable conditions as posi-
BILE, so that the seed will terminate and
grow.
If the seed is covered too deep it is
often the case that they will terminate
and the plants smother and die before
they reach the surface. This is espe-
cially the case where the soil is cough
or cloddy or where q crust forms over
the surface, as it often does after a
hard rain. Again, if the soil IS not in
good filth, plants die after organization
because the roots have not been able
to penetrata the soil sufficiently to
keep alive. With the soil in good con-
dition and sufficiently moist to induce
a good termination, a very light cover
ing is needed with all kinds of grass
seed in the fall. A very light harrow
or brush viii readily cover sufficiently
deep.
With wheat or rye the advantage in
using the drill is that the seed can be
covered at more uniform depth than
is possible when sown broadcast by
hand and covered with the harrow or
cultivator, and better termination as
well as thriftier start of growth can
be secured while considerable time
will be saved in doing the work. BY
working ahead so that everything can
be in readiness, and when the con-
ditions are most favorable the seeding
can be done as rapidly as possible

the essay described, was very wild and
unapproachable; but we had just caught

were trying to steal close TO the tree on
which he was at work Stealthily, from
bush to bush, we crept, getting nearer
and nearer, but compelled to do it with
almost absolute noiselessness. Well.

THE CHEAPEST FENCES.
When Properly BSiit 1t May he said to
BE Everlasting.

DE Everlasting.
The best and cheapest fence on my
farm built II years ago, and it is still
good. The posts are cedar, set feet
apart with tho end of the timber, which
naturally stood up, placed down. This
is the way to make the fence: Let the
posts go in the ground 80 inches, and
project Al to feet above ground A
top rail of 2x4 scantling is to be NOR
tised into the corners of the posts and
nailed fast, White oak pins are turned
uniformly one inch in diameter, and in
serted in holes bored in every other
post. They must be previously well sea-
soned and soaked in boiled oil. The holes
must be bored in the post at the exact
point where the wire is to pass it. To
get the holes exactly right with the
least trouble, it is the best plan to first
bore board for pattern.
Now lay a wire along the line Of
posts. coil one end of it around pin
and drive the pin in until its head imbeds
the wire in the post. Then drive a
staple over the end Of the wire. Now
with man to handle and drive the pins
dlAl dnOlilGI W SltCltI tic wire bf
means of crowbar or wire stretcher
each time a pin is driven 50 rods of
fence may be hung in one day. use
five wires under the scantling. Each
time after pin is driven the wire is
slackened to allow it to be twisted
about another pin. These pins are
only placed in every second post, the
wires being stapled to the inter-
vening posts. The cost is as follows
Two cedar posts at IS cents, 80 cents;
FIVE oak pins, 5 cents; scantling, IS
cents; labor, 81 cents; total, 81. The
wire rarely or never breaks. as its con-
traction and expansion are taken care
of by these pins.-George w. Hum
phrey, in Farm and Home.

HE GETS A DOLLAR.

jury in the libel suit of Ignatius Don
nelly against the Pioneer Press for
500, 600 damages Saturday night
brought in verdict giving Mr. Dom
nelly one dollar and allowing him five
dollars for counsel fees. The trial has
been probably the most famous in legal

the prominence of the plaintiff and the
matters involved attracted the great
est interest.

thor and former member of congress,
leader in the Farmers Alliance and

King, formerly postmaster of the

brought the suit. for the greatest
amount ever asked in one suit by an
individual against newspaper.
The jury was out three hours, and at
one stage stood eleven to one in favor
of the Pioneer Press. The case lasted
FIVE days. and was closely contested at
all points. Mr.. Donnelly is said to
