WHEAT TEof5.
Eeventy-flve Varieties Grown In Compare
tive Test at the Ohio Station.

Eeventy-flve Varieties Grown In Compare
tive Test at the Ohio Station.
These wheats were grown in 1893, and
in order to detect inequalities in the soil
every third plot was sown with Velvet
Chaff Penquites), this variety having
been used for several years as standard
in similar tests.
Past experience has shown that in
such work as this neighboring plots Of
the same variety of wheat may be ex-
pected to show variation of one or two
bushels per acre either way from the
average, and hence in this test those va
rieties yielding within two bushels per
acre of the average of the Velvet Chaff
plots between which they lay are regard
ed as having given practically the same
yield as the Velvet Chaff.
The following 25 sorts gave such
yields, those marked ~ having given
similar yields in the test of 1899 at Co
lumbus: Lehigh,# Sibley's New Gold
ems Tasmanian Red, Miller's Prolific,
Sheriff, Ontario Wonder, Fulcaster,*
New Longberry, Extra Early Oakley
Silver Chaf, Royal Australian (syno-
nym of Clawson), Oregon, Crate,* Rock
Velvet Synonym of Velvet Chafl,
Bearded Monarch, Fairfeld,* Hickman, y
Buckeye, Jones Winter Fife, American
Bronze, Willis, Beal, Early White
Leader, Pickaway.
The following 81 sorts yielded in 1893
two to seven bushels per acre more than
the neighboring plots of Velvet Chat,
16 of them giving similar yields in 1892:
Valleys and its synonym (Reliable*),
Egyptian Lebanon Rudy,* Poole,
Early Ripe,* Gypsy, Niger, Surprise,
Wyandot Red,# Mediterranean, Hindoo-
stan,# Tasmanian Red,* Democrat,
Deitz, \ Red Fultz and its synonym Ger
man Emperor), Witter, Geneva Diehl
Mediterranean and its synonyms Gold
en- Crosse and Yuba), Tuscan Island, y
Mealy, Golden Prolific,* Martins Am
Der, Landreth Synonym of Martins
Amber), New Monarch, Miami Valley,
Missouri, Blue Stem, Early Red Claw
son, = New Michigan Amber, Badger and
Post.
The following IA varieties yielded from
one and half to four bushels less
than the Velvet Chaff: Russian Red,
Fultz, Rocky Mountain, Wisconsin Tri-
umph, Improved Rice, Thesis, Long
berry, Fultz Blue Stem, Yellow Gypsy,
Jones' Square Head, Bailey,* Roberts,
Johnson* and Big English.
Sixteen of the above named sorts of
wheat have now been grown by the sta
ton in comparative test for nine years
in succession. Omitting fractions, the
average yield has been as follows: Val
ley, 81 bushels; Red Fultz, 35 bushels;
Egyptian Niger, Diehl Mediterranean
and Poole, "a bushels: Royal Australian
(Clawson), Tasmanian Red, Democrat
and Velvet Chaff, 33 bushels; Silver
Chaff and Martins Amber, 80 bushels;
Fultz, Thesis, Mediterranean and Lam
dreth, 81 bushels.

ANOTHER PORTABLE FENCE.

large enough to admit the rail of the
panel, and similar notches are cut just
below in the board that holds the bot
tom of the supports. This fence is
strong and durable and is easy to make
and set up.
In the second cut is shown a porta-
BILE fence light to handle, and by remov-
ing the pole from the top and lifting the
hooks from the staple it may be closed
like jackknife 1t is the invention of
a Mississippi farmer. who says:
Several sections may be laid on a
stone boat or wagon and drawn where
wanted with very little trouble. The
legs should be of oak timber; the rails
of any stiff sort not liable to spring.
When set up, the barbed wires, being on
one side only, may be set either side
toward the fields. If it is pastured by
horses, put the wired side out, as they
cannot then get their feet entangled. If
for other animals, either side will do
have used it for three years and regard
it as cheap and durable. 1t answers a
good purpose. Thanks are due to The
Rural New Yorker for the foregoing
cuts and descriptions.

To Stop a Trolley Car Instantly.

A Rochester man has devised plan
by which a trolley street car can be
stopped almost instantaneously, or with
in a space of three feet, while the car is
going at full speed. His device Is oper-
ated by lever in the motorman's cab.
1t is, generally speaking, steel shoe,
upon which the rear wheels Of the car
ride, the under side of which is CORFU
gated SO as to produce great friction
upon the rails of the track. On the top
Of the shoe is an arrangement which, as
soon as the wheel rises upon the shoe,
clamps the outer rim of the wheel and
at the same time grasps the inner edge
Of the rail. The simple weight Of the car
crowds down the shoe upon the rail and
at the same time clamps together, as In
a wise, the wheel and the rail, and all
this by single movement on the part Of
the motorman.- York Telegram.

Anew Theory of sleep.

Some discussion has been going on
concerning Herr Rosenbaums recently
proposed theory Of sleep-namely, that
the anamic condition of the brain is due
to an excess of water in the brain cells
of that body. The supposition, as stated,
is that sleep is essentially a matter OF
nervous action, and the direct cause is
thought to be fatigue Of the nerve cells
which communicate with the heart and
bring about some change in the circula-
ton. The nerve cells are thus supposed
to be full Of water when sleep comes on,
and this water during sleep passes into
the venous blood as waste, and the nerve
cells then receive nourishment from
fresh arterial blood. Then when the proc
ess is entirely over the sleeper awakes.
According to this theory, sleep is not
solely healthy because it rests the body
and brain, but also because 1t invigor-
ates them. 1t is also to be inferred
from Rosenbaum's theory that the nerve
cells and brains OF infants who sleep so
much must contain more water than is
to be found in those of adults, and that
the effectiveness of brain cells is in in
verse ratio to the water contents.-New
York Tribune.
