N. O. French in Edgeley Sentinel:
TO the Editor: In late paper you
say that you will soon expect letter
from me, and since then have been
carefully looking, like the Isrealites
offold. for straw out Of which to
fashion the bricks to build an article
suited for the pages Of first class
country paper, such as The Seminal
is plainly aiming to be; and on the
first page of the S. Of the 22nd inst,
noted an item clipped from the
Cooperstewn Courier in relation to
the termination of wheat that has
been in the stack all winter. This
paragraph, as the saying goes Gre
minds me of a stery," OF rather an
experience, which l will give for
what it is worth, and it ought to be
worth some thing, for it cost me sew
eral hundred bushels of wheat when
wheat was close to the S mark.
In March of 1883 threshed out a
lot of Fife wheat which had stood in
large round stacks all winter. 1t
was perfectly dry-in fact had never
been wet except from what snow had
blown into the butts of the bundles
during 1.-The winter. We threshed the
icy bundles separate, and saved the
dry No. I. hard wheat from the cen
ter of the stacks for seed, putting the
icy wheat in bin at Grand Rapids
finally selling it for about IS cts. per
bushel for feed, after shoveling il
over for perhaps twenty times in a
vain effort to save it.
The seed, which looked as we'll in
every respect as any seed I ever saw
was sown in this and Dickey county
and under the most favorable condi.
tions. Only about one third of i,
grew!
Wheat theshed in January and
February Of that winter grew fairly
well, but mine, threshed in the latter
part Of March, was, as l have said
nearly worthless for seed.
And why? The first was SO dry
that the cold did not hurtit. Mine hae
absorbed dampness from the melting
snow TO such an extent that freezing
killed tie germ. This is my theory
The facts have already beer
given.
If any one desires to sow any o
this winter or spring threshed grain
they should certainly try it, either by
sowing little in small box, in tn.
house, or in simpler manner a.
follows: Take, say, 100 kernel.
from different part Of the stack o.
bin, then place it between two layer
of thick cotton cloth, spreading it al
in a saucer. Wet with warm water
and allow the ends of the cloth tc
reach over into another saucer which
should be kept filled with warm
water SO as to keep the cloth con-
stantly moist, or at least damp. In
3 or 4 days the kernels should all be
sprouted, and it can be readily ex-
amined and counted at any time by
raising up the top cloth. 1fjust 100
grains are tried, the per cent of good
seed can be easily determined.
One thing sure, no farmer can at
ford to sow seed that will not grow.

"Only broken rail" was the report
Of travelling men when they returned 70
the hotel, Tuesday morning, after get
ting two miles out Of town. The ex~
PLANTATION of the above remark is that
the CoopcrstoWn train was thrown
from the track BY broken rail Tues
day morning, about two miles south Of
town. Eight cars Of wheat left the
track and the tenders of the engine.
Luckily no one was hurt, and very little,
damage done. A message was sent to
jamestown for help and the wrecking
train came up about 8 o'clock the same
afternoon and the wreck
was cleared up between that time and
the next morning when the train start
ed out on regular time. During the in
terval the travelling men put in their
time around town growing at their
misfortune. Two Of the travelling men
claim that rail was broken Monday
night when the train came up, aud
that the conductor knew of it at tho
time, but the statement is questioned BY
a majority of our people, as Mr.. John
son is painstaking official and has put
a good deal of work on the track tho
past year, besides lie thinks too much Of
his own life and that Of his passengers
to do such foolhardy thing as to rum
a train over the track If he knew there
was broken rail. We have the word
Of the railroad men that Mr.. johnson
knew nothing about . rail being
broken, and that there was none broken
until the train ran over the track next
morning. The COURIER believes the.
to be hlameless in the matter
and the accident is one of those affairs
that occurs almost any winter by rails
being broken, caused by excessive cold
weather. The passengers and train
men alike are lucky in getting Off as
light as they did.

Mr.. Sturgeon was but twenty-five
when he made choice of wife in Su-
sauna, the daughter of Mr.. Robert
Thompson, merchant of Falcon square,
in the city Of London. But if young in
years, the preacher was of course even
then old in wisdom, and the excellence
of his judgment fully atoned for the ear
illness of his marriage. MIR. Spurgeon
was then pastor of small chapel IN
South London. and resided in the pow
erty stricken neighborhood of the Dor
ough. During the first fortnight of the
year lS5G-the marriage took place on
Jan. S-the young man was preaching
in several of the provincial cities.
Not long after marriage Mrs. Spur
geon fell Il victim to a disease from the
effects Of which she has never wholly
been free. In 1868, in accordance with
the wishes of the most eminent sur
geons, she consented to painful opera
ton. 1t was performed by Sir James
Simpson. OF Edinburgh. and eventually
had the happy result of greatly mitigat-
Ing. though not entirely removing. her
sutferings. Until that time illness had
prevented her giving very much active
help to her husbands work; probably
she bad bec.I most helpful to him in the

band was the target for SO many at

and the footwear a dress shirt is an cS
sental part of Il well dressed mans attire.
Nothing is more annoying to the wearer
than an III fitting white shirt. The collar
does not set well. and nc matter how his
olhcr garments may look or fit, lie feels
that something's not right about his neck
and puts him i'll at ease. To AVOID the
annoyance try one of our Wilson Brothers
shirts and yon will never ask for any 9TH
er make. Those gentlemen have the well
deserved reputation of not only using the
best material but also of making the best
fitting shirt in the market. To do good
shirt justice good collarand pair of cuffs
ought TO Gc put on with it. The well
known firms of Earl Il Wilson and Coon Il
