On Tuesday morning last, while William
Frock was loading fodder, his son Harry
started the team. Mr.. Frock did not hear
him speak to the horses. on account of the
noise of the fodder. and when the team started
he fell off the load to the frozen ground and
broke his left arm between the wrist and
elbow.
A young lady and gentleman of Pennsyl-
vauia were visiting near this place one day
last week They noticed that there was good
skating on Silver Run and concluded to try
it. They were accompanied by a lady friend
and enjoyed themselves for quite awhile,
when suddenly the ice gave way where it had
been cut a few days previous. When they
struck bottom they were standing in about
three feet of mud and water. They returned
home and no doubt will have told the family
all about the enjoyment before the ADVOCATE
reaches them. li

Following is a brief synopsis of the
nature and results of experiments con-
Quoted during a number of years on the
grounds of the Indiana station:
/. Early and late planting, results dur
ing four years favor early planting (May
y. 2. Thick and thin planting, results
during seven years favor thick planting.
8. Deepand shallow blowing, results dur
ing two years favor blowing about eight
inches deep. 4. Deep and shallow cul-
tivation, results during five years favor
shallow cultivation. g.. Test of cultiva-
tors, seven different kinds. 6. Rotation
versus continuous cropping, results dur
ing five years favor rotation. 7. Effect of
previous manuring, horse manure in
creased yield during 10 seasons 8. Full
versus partial applications of fertilizers,
commercial fertilizers were not profit
able in either case, but partial applica-
tions Of horse manure gave a small
profit. 8. Number Of days required to
mature early and late planted varieties,
about 10 days for the three varieties

planting. 10. Test of varieties, tabu-
lated data for 81 varieties.

WHEAT FOR SEED.
Choose the Driest. Heaviest and Hardest
Wheats-Avoid Immature Wheats.

Choose the Driest. Heaviest and Hardest
W~heats-Avoid Immature Wheats.
Professor II. l.. Rolley of the Indiana
experiment station has the following to
say in relation to conditions affecting
the value of wheat for seed:
The qualifications of different samples
of wheat for seed purposes vary with
each sample. Each should be studied as
to its own merits. When in doubt, the
driest, heaviest, hardest. best market
grades of wheat are the ones to rely upon
for seed purposes.
Immature wheats, no matter what the
cause, whether drought, attack of rust
or premature harvest, are weakened in
seed value because of lack of full food
supply in the grain and perhaps imma
turity of the germ. Mixed varieties of
seed should not be sown because there
will be inequality in ripening.
The best grades of frosted seed possess
less strength in their first growth from
the grain than is the case with best
grades of mature wheat. Wheat that
has been wet and subject to freezing and
thawing during the winter cannot safely
be used as seed without being tested.
Any seeds which have at any time been
heated because of moisture when In
bulk are very liable to have been in
jured beyond ability to grow.
If stacks are made from we'll cured.
mature wheat and remain dry through
out the winter, the wheat thrashed from
such in the spring will be as good seed
as if otherwise stored. Wheats thrashed
from the shock in the spring of 1892
after winter bleaching were generally
dead.
The growth of a crop of wheat is de-
pendent upon so many and varying con-
ditions that no positive rules of pro-
cedure which shall invariably result in
success can be laid down. Conditions
Of temperature and moisture in botn
soil and atmosphere and physical condi-
lions of the soil, either at the time Of
sowing or during the period of growth,
must necessarily vitality influence the re-
suit, whatever the character of the seed
sown.
Thus the stooling of the grain is chiefly
dependent upon conditions OF moisture
at the time of stooling, SO that in dry
s stooling is deficient when from
the same amount Of seed sown stooling
would have been abundant during a
moist season, and the quantity of seed
sown sufficient In the latter case would
have been insufficient in the former. Be-
cause of such facts failure may actually
follow practice based on the general
rules Of procedure, and, on the other
hand, success May result from practice
not usually satisfactory, and which IN
der other conditions would inevitably
have resulted in failure; therefore, al
though an occasional successful crop
may under certain conditions result
from the using of inferior seed, this prac-
tice in the end can only result in failure.

A New wheat For the West.

Velvet Chaff wheat is a new variety
that is strongly recommended from the
west. 1t is a winter wheat, very hardy,
and Oh the Indiana experimental grounds
the past eight years it has averaged PSI
bushels per acre. This year the bad sea-
son reduced this yield, and excluding the
present year it would have been more
than 30 bushels per acre.

Substitutes For Glass In Greenhouses.

Trials with paper and oiled cloth, as
reported by Professor L. H. Bailey of
the New York Cornell station, indicate
that these are unsatisfactory substitutes
for glass in greenhouse roofs during the
winter. For summer or late spring
use, oiled muslin is fairly satisfactory.
Plants which require a heavy shade in
summer can be grown to advantage
under such a roof. In the summer of
1891 we found a cloth rooted house to be
an excellent place for Towering the
tuberous begonias."
