loan, should be broken not less than
Elk to eight inches deep. The wheat
plant is one that feeds largely upon
tue surface, ana its roots rarely ex-
tend deeper tnsn three iuches. In
the prepar alton Of the soil il is then
necessary only to break the soil deep
enough u bring the most fertile part
OF 1t into reach Of the feeding roots
OF the plants.
In the preparation OF the seed bed
1t should be understood that the more
thoroughly pulverized the particles
OF the soil are, the better 1t will be
for the seei aud the young, growing
plaHts. Good. thorough tillage j.
one OF the great things about good
wheat growing that must be attended
to early in the s-asun. Ii is great
mistake, which seems TO be current
amo < rome farmers, that it is better
10 leave small ciods nf earth in the
wheat fed, which IN winter crumble
out when wet, aud thus protect the
seed from cold weather. On nearly
every field where these clOds appear
the crop of wheat will appear small
and stunted, showing that there is
-omethiug lacking To make the plants
thrive well. When we consider the
matter closely We will find that each
cIOd Of earth holds 20 much of the
fertility OF the soil locked, aud which
the plants cannot get hOld of. There
IS just 50 much waste, aud this will
be in proportion TO tue number and
size OF the cluds.
There is another feature abolt the
clOidy soil that j. worthy careful
thought. Each clod will hold 50
much moisture in it, aud keep it
away from the plants, so that in very
dry seasOns these cluds will ABSORB
the moisture and dry up the wheat.
Owing to theee two facts, thorough
puIverizatiOn Of soil is essenUa'
Every part Of the soil must contribute
something toward the growing crop,
and this can only be done by thorough
cultivation beforehand.
The seed bed should in addition to
this be Thoroughly rolled aud packed
~ there IL u mechanical condition
about the soil accOmp ished in thir
WORK that will readily be seen to an
swer good purpose. If the soil il
left loose and porous the plants grow
! poorly. The roofs grow straight
down, and the plants straight up, aud
when the winter comes they Cannot
stand the cold. The freezing will
raise the plauts up and leave the
roots exposed, but where the soil il
well rolled and packed the roots grow
out laterally near tie surface. 1t is {
fact often noticed that the tops grow
as the roots, and in this we get gOOC
covering.

Raising Late Turkeys.

used to think it was useless to try
to raise little turkeys that were not
Matched in spring-time, but last
years experience has taught me diff
ferently.
A turkey hen stole her nest, and
about September |, came off with Il
fine brood of young ones. She did
not come to the house with them, but
kept them in the fields where insects
were plenty, so that they were no
expense or trouble whatever. Much
10 my surprise one day in autumn,
when it was beginning TO get quite
cold, she made her appearance with
ten fine, plump little ones, which had
made much larger growth in the
same length of time than those
Matched earlier in the season. Until
winter set in that brood Of turkeys
rOamed the fields, only coming home
at night to be fed. They grew right
along all winter. No extra care was
given them. They shared the poul-
Try house with the other fowls and
Were fed at the same time. OF course
they were not large enough to market
brought an extra price in the spring
Insects OF all kinds are so much
more plentiful duIing the late sum
m-r and autumn that the broOdr
roaming about the fields find food in
greater abundance than earlier in the
season, which with the hot, dry
weather usual at that time il cOndu-
Give in the highest degree to their

are destructive to growing grain, but
We think they more than offset thar
by the quantity Of iUsec.s destroyed
by them. The only harm they do for
us ~ that they sometimes pick corn
from the ears while it ID in the shock
In All experience OF many years of
turkey-raising | ind the very best

cheese except the seasoning. The
finest brood Of turkeys | ever raised

enough to eat wheat. Ia order tn
have young turkeys make the quick.
est growth early in the season before
there are plenty Of insects, they
should be kept for the first few weeks
in al enclosure where they may be
fed often. Always provide little tur.
keys with plenty OF pure wafer tC
drink, placing it in shallow vessels
so that they can get out all right If
they get into the water, Ms they very
likely will. A little turkey will
drink before it is old enough to need
any food, and they soon learn to clus-
ter eagerly round the drinking place
whenever they come near it.
The greatest Zoe of the young brood
is lice, and they are far more suscep.
tible to their ravages than chickens
Insect powder used freely, especially
about the heads and at the base Of the
wing feathers, is the best means OF
killing them, Little turkeys are
very friendly, and will cluster round
the one who feeds them in a way
which makes using the insect powder
very easy, sprinkling it thickly over
them as they eat.-COr. Country Gen

1.-THE wonderful rapidity and low

a constant surprise. No better illus

top in an old field, and VIGOROUSLY,
the most poverty-stricken spot Of

five bushels of corn per acre, probably
less. And yet we have on this pow
erty-stricken hill, to-day, variety
and luxuriance of growth which is

funds that it has been brought up,
but merely by the aid OF those POI

Time to Break Ground,

The proper time to break the
ground for wheat, and to prepare the
soil, is in July, or at least from seven
to eight weeks before sowing. This
early preparation of the soil says a
writer In American CultivatOr, is
one of the essentials of good wheat
crop, and unless we have good crops
of whest from every acre planted, it
e useless to attempt to make living
from growing this cereal in the face
of present low prices. Soils vary 80
much that no definite rule can be
laid down as to the depth necessary
to break the soil in order to put the
land in proper condition. A stiff,
clay soil does not require aking
deeper than three or four inches, but

Ringing Hogs.

len or htteeu years ago the prac-
tlce OF ringing hogs was almost uni
versal. IL has gone out OF date, to a
great extent, and We tnink it should
20 out altogether, as rule in the
practical management Of hogs on the
Iarn. We say rs II rule, Tor TO this
Ms to every rule there are many eX-
ceptiOus, aud what Is the wisest in
one locality or under one class OF cir
cumstances is not always practical or
Wise i'll another. In our own man
agement we have rung no hogs for
ten years, and have thus avoided
some little expense, some labor ard
some loss, To say nothing Of needless
suffering on the part OF the animal
aud more or less Danger OF the lOes Of
pigs. The question will 1T once arise
on the part or the farmer who has
been in the habit Of ringing hogs:
"DO they not root up your pastures ?"
Occa5ionly, but Ouly where the pas-
lures need roofing up; in other words
only where they have become = nest
ing place for different kinds of
worms. Our observation IL that hogs
very seldom rot up the pasture or
meadow unless there IL preferred
food hidden under the grass roots,
and in this case pastures are all the
better for being rooted up. There il
some loss the first year, but this is
more than made up in increase in
productions the next. Our first hog
pasture in the West was "A field oil
