BrOOklyn's Sunday Schools on Dress Parade
BROOKLxN, n. Y.-The city of churches is
e. fets in honor of Sunday school day,
and seventy-ive thousand little ones, with
brass bands, and flags, and banners and
lunches of flowers are parading the streets.
In no other city in the union, or for that
matter in the world. is there such great
celebration every year of Sunday school
scholars Back in the fifties, when Brooklyn
was little more than village, all the Sunday
school children were won't to parade annual
ly in a vacant lot in what is now the business
section of the town.
Tho increase of the city since those days
has made it necessary to have parades in diff
ferent sections, so that looking from a great
height on Brooklyn to-day, it would seem as
though the four quarters of the city were
thronged with white-rObed armies In march
ing array. Business Is generally suspended,
flags are floating on all public buildings and
the schools, private and public, are closed.
For weeks past mothers have been anxlously
preparing their little ones 30 that they might
look their very best upon this day above
all others, while the little ones, with the
young ones of larger growth, have entered
into the spirit of the occasion with enthual-
asm and delight, with the result of an unpar-
allied spectacle which has made this day Ia
nous in the history of the churches
The parade was formed IN twelve DIVISIONS
the largest of which was that at Prospect
Park, in which there were no less than thlr-
teen thousand little ones They gathered al
Anniversary Hill at noon and participated IN
open air services. including the singing OF
hymns and a brief address. Then the di-
visions formed in lines and marched past
the reviewing stand, upon which were May
or David A Body, Hon. James 5. Stran-
ham and other prominent persons
The other divisions met IN their respective
sunday schools and participated in indoor
services, at the conclusion of which they re
turned through the streets headed by bands
and carrying their school banners Hon.
Charles Peale was grand marshal of the day.
This afternoon the children were RECALLED

THE; SEXE; OF WHEAT,

If a score Of wheat judges were asked
in succession which is the best kind of
seed to SOW and which the most profit
able size Of berry to reap, nineteen out
Of twenty would be ready with the
reply ''the biggest of course There
may be good many readers Of the
Farmer who think the same way. Will
they take the trouble to examine care
fully samples of grain from districts
that have been visited by frost and see
how far they go in support of this opin-
ion. The result Of such an examina-
ton will be about as follows: All the
small berried wheat that has been
caught will be found very little shrunk
in comparison with the larger berried
varieties of the same sort that were
sown at the same time and we're frosted
in the same way. The bigger the berry
when perfectly ripe the greater will be
it's relative shrinkage if caught in the
milk or any subsequent stage. An ex-
actly opposite result may be expected
from seed or soil that inclines to form
a small berry. That berry will be
found more compact at every stage of
it's formation, and no matter when it
is caught by frost, will be found worth
more money to sell. If cut green in
anticipation of frost, the same adyan-
tage may be confidently expected.
There will be less shrinkage of the
berry, and it may be cut with safety a
week earlier than the large berried
sorts, with an almost certainty that it
will shrink less in the sheaf. A good
deal of apparently contradictory exper-
fence of the loss or profit from cutting
green wheat can only be interpreted by
looking into it from this point of view.
It is not always the smallest seed that
produces the smallest grains in the fol-
lowing crop. as the nature of the soil
it is sown on has good deal to do
with that, but a careful examination
of all the facts will do very much to
upset the common faith in big berried
wheat as the best for Manitoba. Nor

WHEAT cULr1yaT1os..

At a meeting of the Farmers Insti-
tute held at Brandon. Man. the subject
for discussion was: Cultivation FOR
early ripening and how to avert frosss.''
One of the speakers said: Cultivation
embraces two things-working the land
and feeding it. Science and analogy
show if we want good article it must
be from a good parentage and get a
good start. He wants good seed. well
ripened from new land. Skim milk
calves and skim milk farming are slow
affairs. Artificial manures and their
effect are not of much account SO far.
but we know what good farm yard
manure is. and rightly applied it will
always do good and will hasten the
ripen!ng of wheat week on the aver
age. Well done backsetting ripens in
good time. SO does timothy stubble
rightly handled. Stubble land out of
which its organic matter has been
worked to a great extent will ripen
slowly. and as years go on it will take
still more time to ripen. Mineral plant
food is slow in it's action. and Il moder-
ate amount of farmvard manure sup
plies acids to dissolve the mineral
matters in the soil. SO that the wheat
starts quicker, grows quicker. ripcns
quicker. lie referred to the eXper-
fence o. W. Stephens. of Virden. in
support Of this view. and every observ-
ant farmer could notice that wheat Oh
land that was MANFRED once would
Shoot out its heads week earlier than
the rest around it, and do the same for
years after. Good farm manure from
stall fed cattle was better for the pur-
pose than that from a straw fed lot.
and the more their land got robbed of
its virgin strength the more need
| would there be for mixed farming as
an aid to first class wheat production.
Summer following. overworked by the
pillow and left loose, would make rank
SLOW ripening and low grade wheat.
Don't produce too much plant food in
the idle year, firm the land all you can
by narrowing. and rolling if necessary
and it will ripen quicker. Some people
might pick holes in his plans. but in
this as in everything else, it was the
way !: thing was done, that made the
difference between good and Il bad
result. He was a firm believer in the
virtue of farmyard manure as an aid
to early ripening. A good deal can
always be done along the same line by
the proper sort of cultivation. Firm
down the seed bed and have fine
mould top, drill in the seed and keer
it pretty thick and you have done the
best you can to hasten maturity. &C

central lines, at the gateway to the
vast forest region which extends north
to Lake Superior,a distance of 200 miles
without break, on account of it's vast

to which the lumbermen have given the
familiar and somewhat affectionate
title Of "Old Wiscons," not alone acts
as a lumber feeder to the city by fur
nishing through it's numerous tribrtar-
les an outlet for thousands of acres of
pine in the upper country, but it fur
nishes water power that is second
only to that of Neenah and Menasha,
which cities are also located on the

are cut every year, giving employment

WASHINGTON LETTER.
H'rom Our Regular Correspondent

From Our Regular Correspondent
''Mr. Blaine's alleged iIlness,'' said
an anti-IIarrjson republican of national
prominence, is at this time nothing
but an attack of the 'sulks' brought OH
by his disgust for his superior in office.
He was sick, for a day or two, but he
would long ago have resumed his du-
ties if he had not become offended at
the higl-handed manner in whice Mr..
Harrison took hold Of the Behring Sea
business, and making mess of it. SO
to speak, which he has not improved by
taking the very unusual course of re-
questing the British minister to ask
Lord Salisbury to hurry up his answer
to the note ofprotest sent him the other
day. Notwithstanding my belief that
most political representations are rot
Of the worst sort, I will venture to make
one, and that is, that as soon as MI.
Blaine can settle in his own mind upon
the man to beat Harrison out of the
nomination, he will resign from the
Cabinet and throw all of his influence
to that man."
1t will not be the fault of the Demo-
Gratis if Arizona and New Mexico are
not admitted to the Union at this ses-
sion of Congress. Bills for admission
of both of them have been favorably
reported to the House, and will most
certainly be passed.
Rep. Fithian's bill for free admission
to American registry Of ships built in
foreign countries after Jan. 1st, 1898,
will be fayorably reported to the House.
The subcommittee to investigate the
Worlds Fair expenditures have decide
to go to Chicago instead of bringing
the witnesses to Washington, and they
will start as soon as the vote on the
free coinage bill is taken, next week.
The Democrats on the House Post
Office committee have authorized Mr..
Enloe to report favorably to the House
his bill repeating the mail subsidy act
of the billion dollar congress. MI. En-.
loe's report, which has been presented
to the House, argues that the law, if
carried out during the ten years provi-
ed for, will cause the government to
pay out $500, 900 per year more than
would be required for the same service
If the law were repealed. In other
words that this law will give away that
amount each year.
1t has been steadily apparent during
the last few days of the debate on the
free wool bill, that vote could not be
taken upon it as early as the 21st inst.
as was the original purpose, without
preventing numerous members deliver.
ing speeches which have been carefully
prepared, SO the majority Of the com.
mittee on Ways and Means have deci-
'ded not to press a vote upon the bill
which will be temporarily laid aside
when the silver bill is taken up next
week. The free wool bill will again
have the right Of way as soon as the
