New Rockford, n. D., Corr

Jaw" oShAN' ~
/ am often asked what it costs a
bushel to raise wheat in North Da-
kota. The answer depends altogether
upon the yield per acre. 1t costs Just
as much per acre to pillow the ground
for a crop of ten bushels to the acre
as it does for a yield Of thirty bush
els per acre; it takes just as much
seeu, just as long time to plant it,
about as long to cut, bind, and shock
it, but of course it would take a little
longer to thresh the larger crop l
have seen crops range all the way be-
tween five and forty bushels to the
acre in North Dakota when the off
ference in cost Of raising it per bushel
or per acre was very little and that
little Was in the additional labor Of
setting it up. in the cost of binding
Irvine and in threshing. A team OF
good horses attached to a harvesting
machine which cuts, binds. and car
ries the bundles together, will walk

The expert wheat grower who reads
this article between the lines, will
discover that while l am answering
the question about the cost Of ra s.
ing a bushel of wheat, l am at the
same time giving ar object lesson BE-
tween good and poor farming. This
is really the most important of all |
am saying, for if the cost Of raising
ten bushels to the acre is very nearly
as much as it is to raise double that
much, it is clear that it pays best to
raise good crops: for in addition TO
the increase in the yield in seven
cases out of ten the grade Of the good
crop is higher and brings more in the
ma! ket.

RESCUED FROM THE ICE.
ALI the Members of the WelIman Er-
ploring Party Safe.

Walter Wellman and his companions, with
the crew OF the wrecked steamer Ragnvald
Jarl, arrived at Tromsoe, Norway: from
Spitzbergen on board the fishing yacht Bern
tine.
Wellman says the expedition had almost
reached the eighty-flrst parallel OF lati-
tude when forced to turn back on
May 18th. Tho weather had suddenly
become intensely severe, and northward
from the Seven Isles broken ice made progress
impossible The expedition then traversedt the
coast of Northeast Land, most of watch was
explored. Professor o. B. French surveyed
much OF the coast, adding to the map Capes
Gresham, Whitney, Armour and Scott, and
Walsh Island.
Wellman and seven others started on July
l. with an aluminium boat, to force n way
northward over the ice-pack. After Il
severe struggle they were compelled to re-
turn They started on July to return to
Walden Island. In crossing Dove Bay they
often had to wade through water up to
their waists. Many other hardships were
suffered. The aluminium boat rendered ex-
ceIlent service, resisting pressure which
certainly would have destroyed ordinary
boats. Aims ono of the party, broke
his leg and had to be carried to Walden
Island, where they arrived on July %.
The Walden and Seven Isles were still
hemmed in with ice. After waiting two
weeks it was decided on August to push
southwark. 1t was risky work, but all sue
August 6 the Berntine was sighted. They
sailed on August Z, calling at Danes Isle for
Oyen and Heyerdahi and the provisions.
Wellman declares that he will make an
other attempt in 1896 to reach the Pole by
the SpitZbergen route.

Wind Springs,

There are several springs along the
range of the Allegheny Mountains that
are great curiosities, says the Pitts
burg Post. From these springs a very
considerable current CT air passes con-
stantiy, sufficient at any time to blow
q handkerchief out of persons hand,
unless it is held very tightly. These
phenomena have never been explained,
but it is generally believed that they
indicate caves, and that the breeze
comes from the internal air passages.
The best known of these Is called
Blowing Springs, and is at the foot of
Lookout Mountain, about six miles
from Chattanooga. This is visited by
a great many curiosity seekers and
scientists. Others not so well known
are found in North Carolina and
Georgia.

Every person, child or adult, when
plucking fruit Of any sort, should he
taught how to separate the stems from
the twigs or spurs without damaging
the buds that contain the embryos OF
future crop. When plucklng apples
or pears, instead of hauling off the
fruit with spurs, buds and leaves, take
hold of the apple or pear, and a the
same time thrust the thumh-nail
against the base of the stem aud pull
on the fruit, and thus sever the stem
from the fruit spur at the scam pre-
pared in the growth Of the stem and
spur for the separation Of fruit and
spur. When plucking cherries, take
hold Of the long stems and separate
them with the thumb-nail, handling
the fruit by the stems rather than by
taking hold of the fruit. If the hand
clasps q cluster of cherries, and tia
fruit is hauled off carelessly, the fruit
spur will be broken of together with
ali the half-mature fruit. Then, if the
cherries are fully ripe, and they are
clawed off without taking hold of the
stems, the fruit and stems will be
separated. to the great damage OF the
ripe fruit When cherries are to be
used Immediately, they may be pulled
off the stems. But when the fruit is
to be sent to market, the stems should
not be separated, as the rupture OF
the fruit incident to the separation of
the stems will hasten decay and dam.
age appearance, because as soon as
the stems of cherries are removed from
the fruit the juice will flow out.
Almost every variety of cherries fail
to ripen with desirable uniformity.
For this reason the persons who pluck
the fruit should be instructed to CLEAN
only the ripe fruit without hauling of
immature specimens. But whoever is
allowed to pluck cherries should have
this brief precept. fBe careful Of
the fruit spurs, reiterated, until he
or she will understand that the fruit
buds, the fruit spurs, the little
branches that are loaded with fruit,
must not be crushed by the feet or
pulled off by careless hands. Make
every dullard understand that every
twig and fruit spur broken off repre-
sents cluster OF cherries of next
years crop, and the fruit for many
future years actually lost by inexcus-
able heedlessness. There should be
many placards posted up where pick
ers can read the important words !:
''Do not break off the fruit spurs. -

HAY RACKS FOR SHEEP.

Hay racks are now constructed of
iron, or iron and wood, and although
slightly higher in first cost are cheap
er IN the long run than those made of
wood only. Those on wheels are
most convenient, as one man can easily
shift them about without assistance.
All racks should be provided with
''economizers. A simple and efficient
one, says the Farmers Voice, consists
of light wire railing running the
whole length Of the rack on each side,
about eighteen inches in height, stand
ing about a foot from the rack, to
which it is attached by means Of cross
bars bolted on the ends of the latter.
By this means waste of hay is prevent
ed, oil that is pulled out and left I'M
eaten falling between the railing and
rack, in place of being trampled under
foot by the sheep, as it would be were
this precautiOn not taken. Some
have troughs beside the racks, which
are useful for feeding with corn, etc.
Troughs are best made Of wood.
Those intended for feeding grain and
cake should be Vshaped. For tur-
nips and other bulky food the fiat
bottomed pattern is preferable. Gov
cred troughs are not very extensively
used, being cumbersome and expen-
sive. One or two of them are, how
ever, useful Oh every farm for hold
