Successful Wheat Craving

Farmers Review: 81 tell you," says
a recent essayist, good farming pays.
Te sum it all up l will give a dozen
points. If followed they are the sure
road to successful wheat growing. /.
The soil mus the well drained. 2. The
best soil for wheat is q clayey loan con-
tanning lime 3. Wheat likes a soft
seed bed with compact bottom. f.
Clover sod turned early makes such a
bed. 5. Test at least one new variety
each year, change your seed every
three years. 6. The best seed is plump,
heavy, oily and clean. Z. About two
inches is the best depth for sowing the
seed. g. The drill puts in the seed
cheaper and better than broadcosting.
9. From the middle of September to
the middle of October is the best time
for sowing. 10. If drilled, five pecks
of seed per acre; if broadcast two
bushels. II. One heavy rolling after
seeding does much good. II. If the
growing season is dry try sowing salt

James S. HOrsfOrd the new curator
Of the Academy of Science, has arrived
and is busy mounting specimens.
The last letter received from the
Philippine expedition contained an ac-
count of the capture of two great
snakes that will prove Il notable adj
ton to the collection. The expedition
has been very successful, and the writer
expresses the wish in this letter for a
prolonged stay among the islands, as
several additional months will be OF
great value. In writing in the Minnea-
polls Tribune of the specimens secured
at Cubin, Mr.. BOurns says:
1--WE found the birds and animals very
similar to those of Palawan. While
some varieties of the birds might be
marked enough to form new species, wo
can not call them strictly new, as we
learned, much to our surprise, that tho
French naturalist. Marca, was there In
1885,"
In reference to the deer-hunting In
the interior the writer says:
1--WE never saw anything equal the
abundance of deer We killed them
with rifles and shot-guns and caught
them alive with dogs, and one Of the
party actually succeeding in catching q
young fawn with his hands"
After speaking Of the 40 birds Sc
cured and specimen Of the manis, a
scaly ant-eater, the writer continues:

skins and complete skeleton. We had

conducted to hollow log lying on the
bank Of small stream, and through a
crack we saw portion of two coils Of
what seemed to be a snake 16 or IL
feet long. We stopped up both ends OF
the log, enlarged the hole near the
snake, and after some trouble, succeed
ed in getting strong rattans about the
body.
"At first it braced it's coils so that we
could not stir it, but finally the strain
on it's neck became too great, it relaxed
and with rush it was hauled out into
the brook. We killed it with a knife
thrust into its heart 1t measured u

In the log we found eighty-nine eggs

When the King Laughed

One of the three occasions on which
Philip ~ of Spain laughed was as follows
Philips first wife, Isabella of Bourbon
died in 1645, and the ne xt year he married
the Austrian Archdu chess Maria Anna
This princess understood Spanish, but
very imperfectly. Passing on her way to
the capital through a certain town which
was distinguished for it's silk manufac-
lures, she was presented by the inhabitants
with few dozen silk Stockings Needless
of the queens presence, the master of cere-
monies snatched the parcel out of the
hands of the town councillors, flung it on
the ground and exclaimed in "A rage:
Are you not aware that the queens of
Spain are not supposed to have any Iegss"
The queen, with her imperfect knowl-
edge of Spanish, here be gan to weep, called
for her father confessor, Reithardt and
told him that she mean to return to Aus
tria. If she had known that in order to
become queen of Spain it was necessary to
have ones limbs cut of she would rather
have died in Germany than undergo the
operation in Spain. When this Incident
was related to the king he burst into loud
laughter before the who e assembled court
