The inquest in the case OF the eighteen VIC

hours OF the interval were spent In the Sinclair

verdict:
From evidence adduced we are led TO the

"We find after mature delberaton that the

thought in connection with the descrip-
ton to comprehend its full magnitude
as covering the one-eighth of an acre of

By counting the lengths of fence
along the highway, which is just at the
end of its branches, one can see the eX-
tent of its branches, which are nearly
equal on all sides. Just at the left is
the cellar, some of the stones of which
are seen in the picture, and from the
house were thrown the slops where the
tree grows; and from here the drainage
is perfect to the swale few feet at the
right, which accounts for its wonderful
growth and foliage. The trunk, though
short on account of its early treatment,
is compact and solid. The fence is an
ordinary board fence, with lengths of
one rod each.

adapted for the rich river bottoms, and
not for the elevated lands. This is
valuable suggestion for our farmers in
the West, who do not wish to relinquish
this most excellent apple. 1t may be
added also that it has given better sat
isfaction in a number of instances when
top-grafted than when grown from the
ground. Many of our readers are
familiar with the appearance of the
fruit, but ii may be interesting to copy
Coxe's description, written three-quar-
tiers of century ago: A remarkably
large, beautiful and excellent apple,
both for the dessert and for cooking. 1t
is of pale, but fair and bright yellow
color; the cheek next the sun has some
times blush, but more frequently is
without any red; the form is oblong,
somewhat pointed at the blossom end
both ends are deeply indented-the
flesh is rich, juicy, tender and sprightly;
it has uncommonly large, full seeds,
which are lodged in percardium of
unusual size, and if shaken, can be dis
tinctly heard; it ripens late in October,
when its great weight causes it to fall
in windy weather-if carefully picked
before they are too ripe, they will keep
in high perfection through the winter,
till late in the spring. From their
beauty and excellence, they are the
most popular apple in the Philadelphia
market; and it is not out of place to add
that in Plttsburg and Cincinnati and
other cities, the only drawback to their
popularity is the difficulty of obtaining
the fruit.''

Editorial NOtings.

SOME of the funniest things we read
in the city papers are the owl-like scraps
of counsel they offer to country folks.
Ole of them says 1t is interesting to
a writer on agricultural subjects to go
out among the farmers and take some
observations. There used to be "ag-
ricultural writer's" to whom this bit of
advice might have done some good-if
they had taken it. But their writing,
when sent in, now drops into the edi
tors waste-basket with a sickening
thud." AS the Stockman and Farmer
remarks in this connection "The
modern agricultural writer sits down in
the interims from his farm work to in
dite his communication to the agricul-
tural paper. The writer who has to
$50 out and hunt these things has long
been shelved."

To our remark that American farm
ers now average so poorly in wheat
culture that they could, by farming as
well as they do in England, double
their crops on the same area, Editor
Jenner Fust of the Montreal Journal of
agriculture, says; "Try what feeding
off rape with sheep will do to begin
with. 1t is not costly, and never fails. !"
Now, here is suggestion from prac-
tical man that is we'll worth paying
some attention to. 1t is true that our
average wheat crop, the Union over, is
shamefully small but we have farmers
in almost every state who habitually
harvest as good average crops of wheat
as the best English experts. We be-
lieve there are many Scotch and En-
glish farmers in Ontario who do the
same. Whether sowing rape and feed
ing it off with sheep, as a preparation
for wheat, will answer as we'll here as
in Britain, remains to be tested. The
difference in climate may prevent en-
tire success. But we are very foolish if
some amongst US do not give this
method thorough trial.

afterwards Western competition, put
an end to wheat-growing as business

some amongst US do not give this
method a thorough trial.
ACCORDING to our experience, there
is no great difficulty in doubling the
average yield Of wheat on our Vermont
farms, merely by better preparation
of the land and the seed, and the use
of suitable fertilizer. We have now,
August 6, two acres almost ready to
harvest, on land that three years ago
was so messed over that the grass on it
was not worth cutting. In the autumn
of 1890 it was plowed six inches deep,
and the following spring planted to po-
tatoes. The season was pretty dry,
and the moss, cutting off the connec-
ton of the surface with the subsoil,
made the potato crop a comparative
failure from drouth. Again it was
plowed, and the past spring sown to
wheat, as above stated The seed was
carefully scalded in water heated to
1909, mixed while wet with grass and
clover seed, and carefully sown, har-
rowed and rolled. Worms damaged
nearly quarter of the piece so that it
stood very thin, but even this has
stooled out pretty well for spring wheat,
and the field looks nicely at this time.
There is not particle of smut in it, the
heads are long and well filed, and, as
the seed was carefully hand-picked,
there is nothing but wheat there. We
are looking for it to thresh out pretty
near fifty bushels, but may be disap-
pointed.
WE do not consider that anything
like thorough preparation was given
to this piece of wheat, any more than
to the piece which last year gave us
twenty-four and one-half bushels to the
acre. But the fact that we got as good
a crop as we did encourages us in the
belief that we have only to increase the
thoroughness of the work TO add an
other ten bushels per acre to the CROP
We are sure that in wheat, as well as
corn and potatoes, the secret of profit
lies in good seed, good work and suf-
ficient and suitable fertilization of the
land.
The use OF rape in England as a
means to fertilize the land for wheat is,
as we take it, most applicable to winter
wheat. For spring wheat it would
have to be some late, and fed off in the
fall; and it would require some method
of fencing to keep the sheep where we
want them. In England temporary,
movable fence ("hurdles ~ is used.
On the best wheat lands of the Ohio
valley clover is the crop used to precede
and be plowed down for winter wheat
and good farmers there get pretty good
crops, though not up to the English
standard. When we can get our land
up where we can be sure to get clover
to grow evenly all over it, we shall re-
gard the wheat problem as substantially
solved, for clover will make wheat eyery
time, if all the work is rightly done
and the season favorable.
