Wheat Experiments,

Prof. Georgenson's experiments with
wheat at the Kansas Experiment
Station have included 234 varieties.
He expects next year to be able to
select few of the best for future COM
parison. The results of the expert
ments for the past two years are sum-
married as follows:
l. The experimental acre" yielded
81. 3 bushels of Currell wheat; the aver
age of twelve years, including two COM
plete failures, is 23.8 bushels, and the
average of the ten crops harvested is
1857 bushels.
2. No conclusion can as yet be
drawn from the rotation plats. So
far, the plats continuously in wheat,
with manure, have given the best re-
turns, the MANFRED plats being so rich

Manurlng Grass Lands,

The latter part of the fall and early
winter is one of the best seasons for
applying manure to grass lands. There
are perhaps two advantages in this
says a writer in the Farm. Field and
Stockman; one is that during the win
ter the rain and melting snow will aid
materially to carry the soluble por-
tions into the soil in a condition to be
used by the growing plants, and the
other is that the coarser or insoluble
portions that remain on the surface
will act as a mulch and help material
ly to prevent injury by thawing and
freezing. 1t is often the case that both
the meadows and pastures are cropped
so close that the plants are injured
very seriously by the thawing and
freezing.
One of the best plans of manuring is
by applying on the grass lands. Of
course where this is done regular
system of rotation should be followed
up. At the same time with good man
agement and proper manuring land
may be kept in grass for several years
without change.
With both meadows and pastures
by keepingthe soil rich better growth
can be secured, and this implies the
keeping of more stock and the making
OF more manure.
If manure is applied early to grass,
it will work down on the soil so that
it will not interfere with the growth Of
the grass the next spring. However,
if applied in large Jumps some damage
may be done to the plants by smoth-
ering them.i By little care inspread.
ing, so that it will be scattered evenly
over the surface, this may be avoided.
OF course care must be taken not to
haul out when the soil is soft as con-
siderable damage will be done in this
way. But there will be plenty of op-
portunity for hauling out manure
during the winter into the meadows
and pastures, when no injury will be
done by manuring and the soil be in
good condition to derive the benefit
from the application. The finer the
manure, and the more evenly it is
spread. the better will be the results
secured.

SuCCulent Hog Food.

The secret of healthy swine is plenty
of good succulent food. They can not
be kept healthy without it. Neither
can pigs be made grow rapidly to ma
turity without it. A writer says with
truth that the natural food for hogs
in the wild state is grass, the mast of
the forest, roots and bulbs of plants.
The necessity for food of this char
acter is we'll recognized by nature i'll
providing the hog with a rooter for
the purpose of obtaining it. Even
after generations Of domestication,
with ample sustenance to satisfy all
demands, this proclivity or desire to-
root, independent of necessity, re-
mains as a prominent characteristic.
Farmers who have practiced from
this pointer, and during the Winter
months have at stated intervals, at
least twice a week, given one feed
of potatoes beets, artichokes or tur-
nips, have found that the hogs not
only relish them but derive great
benefit therefrom. They are conduc-
i've to q perfect condition of the sys-
tenn, stimulating the action of the
various organs in the performance OF
their functions. They aid in diges7
ton and assimilation of the more
solid food. Brood sows as we'll

Seasonable Poultry Hints.
A writer in the Orange Judd Farmer
says: Do not neglect to take care of
the poultry droppings and apply to
the crops. 1t is actually worth as
much as the phosphates sold in the
markets at So 5 per ton, without doubt,
and no farmer or gardener can af-
ford to let it be wasted. The manure
from flock Of hens will pay for their
care. By applying it to the corn hills
at planting time, it forces a rapid and
luxuriant growth. Provide something
for the fowls to scratch and work in
during the winter season. Two OF my
farmer friends have secured aquantity
of dry road dust for their hens to
dust themselves in. Coal ashes are
excellent. Lay in some cabbage hes -
for the use of your poultry. They
appreciate the green food and the

WASHINGTON CITY, May l4-secretary Blaine
has received letter from Dr. D. J. MacGowan,
for many years American missionary in China,
under date OF Shanghai, March 81, upon the
subject OF Chinese emigration. He pleaded
in extenuation OF his taking il upon
himself TO interfere in the matter the
fact that he Is the senior American resident in
China. He says China does not desire to see the
United States flooded by her proietariat, as
immigration. Moreover, Cinnamon re-

New YORK, May IA Washington City
special quotes Senator David b. Hill as follows:
The statement that I intended to sound an
alarm in the Senate against the present prone
ness of the Democratic party in the excessive
expenditure OF public funds is ab-
surdly false. From what I learned,
by keeping my ears open, while
/ believe that James g. Blaine is the only man
whom Harrison and his friends fear, the fact
of the, matter is that Tom Platt made great
mistake By not holding midwnter conven-
ton. Had he done this he could have had his
own way and his delegates just where he
wanted them. 1t is now too late for him to 10
anything against Harrison.
Referring to the sharp criticism upon the
omission Of Grover Clevelands name from the
platform of the New YORK state midwinter con-
vention. Hill is quoted thus:
Why. l should like to know, why should the
convention have mentioned the name of Grover
Cleveland. The conventions OF neither parties
have been in the habit of dragging outsiders in
this way. Why, SO far rs the asOna blene,s of
the thing goes, the convention might as we'll go
back for years and commend the administration
of Buchanan.

miners. The work of rescue was at once
begun, and groups of as many men as
could get in worked for few minutes at a
time, being relieved by a relay of twenty
five men. The mass of earth and timbers
foremost was like a solid rock, and it was
no easy task to reach the imprisoned men.
There were no means of knowing how
many were dead and alive. The work
progressed with marvellous rapidity. and
willing hands never toiled harder before.
About 3 o'clock P. J. Murphy was
reached. He was only slightly injured.
Michael Laughlln was found near him,
badly hurt, and was removed to the hos
pital. The third man reached was James
Breen, who was also alive. The
fourth, Robert Works, was taken out
badly injured. but that will no
doubt complete the list of all who eseaped
with their lives. 1t is believed that all the
other men, eleven in number, were
crushed to death. 1t was 10 O'Clock be-

The above list of contributions to the Posi-

ows and orphans OF the Roslyn miners shows
that the generosity of the people is by no means
exhausted. Money continues to come in, and
the total will. continue to swell until it is as
sured that the sufferers are placed beyond reach
of want. A good feature of yesterdays contri.
buttons is the small sums given by children,
whose young hearts have been touched by the
forlorn condition in which SO many other chill

s26l from Black Diamond and slO2.5O from
