joint at the back. The apparatus for
setting consists Of two pieces Of wood
and string. Whittle one piece, which
is about ten inches long, to point at
one end with a notch at the other, and
put it through a hole bored in the back
a few inches from the bottom. The
other piece make chiseI shaped at both
ends and notch it so as to tie a string in

end Of the top for this small piece, as
shown in the figure. Fasten one end Of
the string to the front Of the top to pass

brace fastened between the notches OF
the bait stick and back. For a bait
use pieces of apples or turnips, or even
corn on the cob, the bait beng fastened
to the pointed stick on the inside Of the
trap. "A rabbit entering the trap nibbles
at the bait, shaking the bait stick, which
in turn sets free the brace, and the cover
falls. The notches should be only so
deep as to fairly allow the trap to be set.

As to the comparative merits Of thick
and thin seeding Of wheat, experiments
at the Ohio station, running through q
series Of ten years, are reported as fur
nishing conclusive evidence that higher
yields are obtained from seeding at a
rate not below five pecks per acre moi
exceeding seven pecks. Seeding below
four pecks per acre gives a fewer mum
Der Of bushels Of inferior quality. Seed
ing above seven pecks per acre gives
fewer bushels but superior quality of
grain. Broadcast seeding has given as
good results this year as drilling, but in
q series Of years drilling has produced
the largest crop.
Very light mulching has apparently
been of some benefit this year. Heavier
mulching has invariably injured the
crop. Cross drilling las been Of no adj
vantage this year. No larger crop has
been produced this year from mixed seed
Of two varieties than from pure seed Of
the same varieties sown separately.
The stinking smut or bunt of wheat
may be almost completely eradicated by
soaking the seed wheat in solution Of
copper sulphate, and the same result may
be more economically obtained by inn
mersing the seed in water heated to 1872
degs. to 1876 degs. Fahrenheit.
The red bearded varieties producing
the highest yields for the year Were
Rudy, Valley, Diehl, Mediterranean and
Lehigh, in the order named. The white
bearded varieties giving the highest
yields were Democrat, Golden Prolific
and Silver Chaff OF the smooth red
wheats Redfultz, Poole and Witter stand
at the top Of the list, while the Surprise
and Miller's Prolific are among the high
est producing white smooth varieties.
