chess, rye and cookie. III we should be
SO unfortunate as to SOW foul seed, find
1t the best way 10 go through the field
and pull up the rye and cookie, which
is much better than TO leave IL IN the
wheat to ripen. We can get rid of 1t
very easy In this way, by going through
the field every six or eight weeks. |
think it very good plan TO take the
bulletins put out by the State Expert
mental Stations as a guide In choosing
seed wheat, and select the kind that
does the best by them for number Of
years and give IL thorough test AS re-
CARDS selecting and fitting ground for the
seed, almost always sow after oats, in
stead OF summer fallow, for the reason
that two crops pay better than one; or
take clover sod or sow after corn. But
sowing after corn makes IL rather late;
vet sometimes we get very good crop
In this way, pillow the land as soon as
j can get the oats off, or IL clover, as
soon as second crop Is large enough for
best results, so as to let the land get
well packed down before sowing. find
that land plowed early, say last OF July
or first of August, is in better condition
for wheat than that plowed just before
sowing. Land plowed early needs to be
thoroughly narrowed, so rs to get good,
mellow seed-bed; but not too deep, two or
three inches is deep enough. My wheat
does the best where it follows oats, which
I'm their turn followed corn, which had
been well covered with stable manure
before planting. / like to SOW wheat
here in Northern Ohio, from the stb TO
the 18th OF September, when everything
is favorable. From two to three hun
dred pounds of phosphate should be
used. l would use the same amount
even IL sown after clover, unless i had
barn-yard manure to cover the land, for
do not depend on theclover to insCre
first-class crop. / sowed piece of land
10 wheat rs an experiment. sowing one
and one-half bushels to the acre one
way and then cross sowing with the
same amount the other way, putting on
200 pounds of phosphate to the acre each
way. 1t did the best of any wheat that
! ever raised. 1t yielded at the rate of
forty-four bushels to the acre. let my
wheat get middling ripe before harvest
ing, so as to be able to draw it into the
barn soon after cutting, and not run the
risk OF catching weather. do not
like to stack wheat, on account of the
risk one runs OF getting il injured by
wet weather, but rather put the wheat
in the barn and leave the hay out In
stacks until after threshing. After the
grain is threshed then hay may be drawn
in. Wheat should not be threshed until
after 1t sweats in the NOV, so as not to
sweat in the bin and leave the grain
musty. We should be very careful to
get the fields well drained, either by sur
face or undertakings, for we cannot
expect to raise any wheat where the
ground is saturated with water.

A Novel suggestion.

A Talladega (Ga) paper makes the
novel suggestion that -when . jail is as
saulted by mob intent upon the life Of
an inmate. aud when IL is apparent that
the mob will reach its victim, the lprit
be armed for self-defense. Give him a
Winchester, ready for action, and q
brace of good six-shooters, like the boys
outside have, and though they are ten to
one against him, 1t will In q measure
give him chance. IL is easy enough
for men to be brave when they are
hundred TO one empty-handed and con-
fined. Let it be known tina, the man
inside is ready to meet them on even
one chance to hundred, and the brav-
cry of the midnight law breakers will
soon cool off,

-Four years ago last September found
and brought home four young flying
squirrels Casualties overlook two OF
them, leaving q pair, which were given
the liberty OF the kitchen They grew,
very fast, and became very tame and
playful, but were wlthal very timid, the
least unusual noise causing them to run
for a hiding place, and making them
very nervous They were provided with
box TO sleep In. and showed their In
stinct by storing 1t full Of nuts. but
liked best to sleep In the pockets OF any
clothing within their reach. During the
day they kept closely hidden, but In the
evening were very active, and delighted
In jumping from shoulder to shoulder of
those at the supper table, stopping now
and then to taste the dainties offered
them. After supper.the squirrels would
accompany the family TO the sitting
room, where they would Immediately
climb to the highest accessible point and
begin to jump, not stopping their romp
until we retired.
After our little squirrels were grown
j captured another, also full-grown, and
took IL home t. them, but for time
they would have nothing to do with the
stranger. They moved their entire store
OF nuts to a new hiding place, and
stayed on the opposite side of the room
from the intruder, not allowing him to
come near their nest After q time,
however, they overcame their jea ousy
OF the little stranger and made friends
with him, their friendship being inter
rupted very soon by the escape of the
wild squirrel through door, left open
by accident
The female died when two years old.
They had never bred. After this, for

no inclination to escape from captivity,
but, on the contrary, II he does get out

seems glad to be at home again.
In the winter, when the fires are built,
our little pet comes out to hunt up his
friends, entering when he finds the doors

Our squirrel is as intelligent as any
dog and manifests great affection for all
the family, especially my father, whom
he trusts implicitly, and with whom he
will play much after the manner OF a
kitten. This squirrel Is SO small that
you can close your hand around him and
hold him quite easily, and he seems
more like bird than mammal, yet he
can make US understand almost any
thing he wants. He is neat and clearly,
seldom gets into mischief, and does not
make any trouble except by filling things
full of nuts.
We often wonder how long our pet
will live, and shall all be sorry when we
have TO part with him, as he is the most
affectionate and entertaining pet we
have had.-Forest and Stream.

Mr.. Westinghouse Reports Good Success in
Placing His Preferred Stock-He WIN
Be in New York Again on Monday-The
CHARTERS Company.
George Westinghouse. Jr., returned from
New York yesterday morning, and imme-
diatelv went to his office. He positively
refused to talk to reporters, but gave out the
following statement:
a subscription for 1900 shares has been
made by one interest. Negotiations are
well advanced for placing block of Il, 500
shares more, both conditioned upon total
of SO, 600 shares being taken. 1 can answer
for another 1000 shares. If creditors
join in the preferred stock movement, as
some have Indicated they will, and the
stockholders and others to be benefited take
an immediate and active interest, there is
no reason why the retirement of the Ad-
visory Board should have more than a
momeutary effect. Some of the subscribers
to the fund have already offered to take pre-
ferred stock TO the amount of their subscrip-
tion to the fund. 1 am TO be in New York
Monday on this business"
The rumor that executions had been issued
against the CHARTERS Valley Gas Company
proved untrue. The only trouble was oc-
casioned by the suits brought by ten people
in the Glenfield district on account of the
salt water getting in the springs and wells.
1t was a long contested case and the judg-
ments were not paid until yesterday morn
ing.

MKEEsPoRT IN SOCIETY.

She Is Jubilant Over Her City Charter,
While ReynoIdton Is Sad.
McKeesport was feeling very gay last
evening. She was in city society for the
first time, costumed in decollete charter.
Her credentials as third-class municipality
are expected to arrive tonight. The char
ter was granted aud signed yesterday. City
Solicitor r. C. Rankin was present and
witnessed the placing of the document on
record
The charter was granted just one month
before the February election, and last even
ing Burgess Tilbrook issued a proclamation
stating that fact, and designating the new
polling places and the officials to be elected
in February.
Over in Rcvnoldton, where there are ., 900
people who wanted to compose the Ninth
ward of the new city, it looked gloomy, and
the people were despondent over the failure
of the Attorney General to take
Reynoldton into the new city, while the Nc
keesport people now say it is just as we'll as
il is, as Reynoldton would have added a
large burden of expense to the city within
the next five years. The Attorney General,
it appears, opposed tacking Reynoldton to
the charter, letters having been sent to Har-
risburg protesting against it. -.-
