OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions FOR Our
Agricultural Readers
THE WINTER WHEAT.

We seem to have nearly everything favorable
for our Winter wheat this year and from pres
ent indications there will be big crop 10 har-
vest the coming season. The heavy mantle Of
snow that fell so early in the Winter eannos
melt off very easily much before Spring unisss
an exceptional thaw should begin pretty soon,
Winter killing Of the wheat will consequently
amount to practically little. The sudden and
continuous changes from cold 70 warm. and tas
alternate thawing and freezing OF the wheat
field, are prevented better by a heavy protso-
tion OF snow than By any other method. Ma
ture cares for her own children better than can
be devised by man.
When the thsw begins however, sooner OF
later, the wheat will be in Its greatest danger,
Then it Ia that IL will suffer most from ssvsrs
weather. A very cold snap late in the Spring
might do more harm TO our Winter wheat than
all of our past cold weather put together.
There arc some farmers who believe in packing
the snow down over the wheat by taTais6
sheep into the fields. and feeding them sAsis
hay or straw on the snow. By packing ths
snow down around the plants il is kept on she
field much later in the season, and is Ept %
make the protection last until really warm
weather or Spring is here. When the snsv
finally melts of the frost will then quickly
come out of the ground and leave the plants In
q condition for starting up immediately.
But the practice is fraught with danger -
the wheat unless one watches it carefully.
Sheep are apt TO collect In focks in esrsain
places, and they trsmple down the snow %
hard in such spots that often the wheat In
trampled out of existence. The only way -
make this method Of value is to make the sheep
trample the snow down on sli parts. Th6
naturally can be done only by feeding than
in different places each day. They will aellses
where the food is placed, and easily
cart the feed into different corners OF the fsl6
every few days. Scatter the hay around ever
the snow very thiDly, and the sheep appear 10
love TO gather il up better than IL they lad -
pull it out of stack. IL is more like browsing
to them. The feed should be taken 70 the
field only in sufficient quantities to last for the
"a hours. Ii it is taken in large quantity Q
great deal of il will be wasted. The sheep viii
tramps half of it in the snow. and another
snowstorm might come up that night and bryY
it beyond reach. Sometimes. however, tAe
sheep enjoy pulling the half buried hay fran
the snow.
Caution must be exercised In not letting Ne
sheep remain too long in one field. After ths
snow ia packed down pretty well. remove the
sheep. Do not let them stay until they hsvs
ruined the wheat. The condition OF the uhsab
must also be considered. III tho least thsw
comes the sheep must be removed at once. II
the sheep are turned on during one very warm
day they might do more damage in shas II
hours than they would do good in . month

BEES AND HONEY,

Prof. A. j. Cook, of the Agricultural College
at Michigan. reports to the United States De.
partment of Agriculture that he found no bsas-
it from planting the so called Chapman honey
plant for his bees. While they worked busily
on it the honey in the hives gained but little,
though it had 3 long season. Tho Rocky
Mountain bee-plant, cIeOme gave good results
but did not grow well, and full stand of plants
could only be secured at too great an expense
to pay in actual practice. Nor was there any
special advantage in sowing rape. He found
sweet clover one of the best honey plants, and
advises sowing it in waste places to replaces rag
weed and other weeds, and cleome may also %
used in the same way. He found mora fruits to
set where bees had access TO the blossoms thsa
where they were covered with gsuLe, excepting
in the case of raspberries, where no differences
was seen. On over 600 apple and pear blossoms
so covered only two apples set, while 81 sss On
the Same number visited by the bees. Ia hts
experiments he found the bees consumed IL
pounds of honey to make one pound of wax. In
a mild Winter bees Kept out of doors consumed
less honey and came ont in better condition
than those in the cellar, but he would not ex-
pect them TO do so in a severe Winter. IL pays,
however. to pack around those left out of doors
with excelsior or some other poor conductor OF
heat.

THAT men will insist, first and last,
that your Company IS weak one
will be failure. mot in it, I
doubt moi, But they are lying"

In 1886, Hon. Henry J. Reinmund,
then Superintendent Of Insurance of
the State of Ohio, officially examined
the Mutual Reserve Fund Life As
ISOLATION, and finding that most
exhaustive examination had been
made by the Insurance Department
Of the State Of New York, in 1885,
under the direction of Hon. John A.
Mccall, the then Superintendent of
Insurance, called on and had an in
terview with Mr.. Mccall before pub
fishing his report.
The following is report of the
conversation which passed betwee n
the two gentlemen.
HON. HENRY J. RE1NMuND.-"I
notice you have examined the Mutual
Reserve recently, much more COM
pletely than I have the time to do,
and l want to know from you il, dur
ing your very thorough examination,
you found any thing wrong.
HON. JOHN A. McCALL.-"You
can stay there till Christmas Git was
then in july land you won't find
anything wrong. Harper is an hon.
est man, and his company is honestly
managed. Although l am connect.
cd with q rival institution, I think it
is mistake to attack this company.
You are perfectly safe in your con-
illusions. You will never have cause
to regret them"
The Hon. Henry 7. Reinmund's
tern of Office as Superintendent of In
surance having expired, he accepted
position in the Home Office of the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Associa-
ton. and in 1890 was promoted to
the important Office Of End Vice
President.
When the Tenth Annual Meeting
was being held, Mr.. Mccall called to
see Mr. Reinmuad, and at his re-
quest remained until the various
reports were read.
On being introduced by Mr.. E. B.
Harper, President of the Association
Mr.. Mccall was greeted with a right
royal welcome, which betokened the
high estimation in which he was he Id
by the audience. On the appl use
subsiding, Mr.. Mccall among other
things said:
There is a good deal in what Mr..
Harper has said to the effect that
there is plenty Of room for two kinds
ofinsurance. Nobody should doubt
that. That men will insist first and
last that Your company - weak
one,' will be failu1e,' nothing in
it, | doubt not. BUT THEY ARE
LYING. I went all through that sew

your present position. I came here

AS the Hon. John A. Mccall was

State of New York, and afterwards
Comptroller Of the Equitable of New

York Life, HIS OPINION IS VALUABLE
