Believes In summer FaIIow.

Much has been written about clean.
ing land and keeping it clean without
any summer following; indeed, summer
following Is looked upon by many aa
old-fashioned and out of date, but
where a farm is dirty and foul with
noxious weeds, thistles, charlock,
couch, or any other weeds, We know
of no method of cleaning 1t equal to
a good thorough summer fallow. Be-
sides cleaning the land, summer fall
lowing is the best preparation for
crop of wheat, and we have often obs
served how much better land that has
been prepared and is in good manurial
condition will Withstand our usual
summer droughts than other land Of
the same quality not prepared does.
When that highly-favored people, the
children of Israel, were promised a
land (said to be one of the fairest and
most fertile portions Of the EARTH God
commanded them to allow the land to
lie untitled every seventh year, and on
each occasion when the command is
given or renewed, this idea, among 9TH
ers, is, ut is year of rest unto the
land" then shall it rest and lie STILL"
and because the chosen people dis
obeyed and neglected this command,
they were carried into captivity until
the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths, be-
cause it did not rest in your Sabbath
when We dwelt in the land. Walter
Riddell.

currnnts and GooseberrIes.

Take cuttings of currants in Septem-
Der after the new wood has ripened,
as may be seen by having turned
brown, says Vick's Magazine. Make
them about six inches in length, from
the new wood, removing the leaves.
Plant them so that only one bud is
left above the surface and they will
take root In the fall and be ready to
make growth promptly in the spring.
Some leaves or litter should be laid
around them when cold weather comes
on, to prevent them from heaving
when the frost comes out OF the
ground. Cuttings of the gooseberry are
more difficult to root, but treated in
the same way a portion Of those made
from our American varieties will root
But the better way to raise gooseber-
ries is by layering. This can be done
as early as the latter part OF July.
Draw the soil up about bush and lay
the branches partly down upon it and
heap fine soil up over them. spatting
II down well with the back Of the
spade to make it lie close to the wood.
The leaves should be removed from the
portions OF the stems which are coy
cred. Leave the plants earthed up IN
this way all winter and in spring level
on the soil and cut away the rooted
pranches and plant them out to make
y set Of strong roots before final trans
planting for fruiting. From the plant
thus employed (called a stool plsnt),
another set Of shoots will grow. and al

Draft of the Plow.

Our experiment stations are looking
into almost everything and among 9TH
er things endeavoring to determine the
amount of the draft of the plow that
is used for different parts of the work.
At the University Farm of New York
it was found that So per cent Of the
total draft is used for cutting the fur
row, SO per cent in overcoming the
friction of the sole and land slide, and
but twelve per cent in turning the fur
row. In 1867. Hon. ]. Stanton Gould
found that 55 per cent was expended
in cutting the furrow, 80 per cent in
overcoming the friction, and ten per
cent in turning the furrOw. Pulver-
izing is done altogether by the mold
board in turning the furrow, and hence
the Importance of having the mold
board do precisely what the farmer
wants at particular time. Really ev-
cry pillow should have three or four diff
ferent mold boards; one If it is desired
to throw the furrow fiat and cover up
rubbish, another il 1t is desired to kink
the furrow, leaving it rough as possible
in fan blowing, and perhaps one or
two more covering purposes between
these two extremes. We think there
will be a good deal more attention paid
to matters Of this kind in the future
than in the past, as farmers are really
but beginning to study the subject OF
tillage.

Winter Protection.

l have not had great deal Of sue
cess in the cultivation Of flowers and
roses, but have a very simple plan Of
protecting them: lay down the rose
and cover it with ieaves, and when 1
uncover it in the spring l find that it
is quite fresh. In some instances the
buds have begun to shape before the
leaves are taken off. One season a keen
frost came and they were set back, and
we had no roses that year. l now adopt
the plan Of driving stick down along
side the bush. / then gather the
branches together, tie them with
a string, and put a hoop around
the bottom. l put ordinary rye straw
around the inside Of that hoop and
then put on another hoop around the
top: and l find that there is sufficient
protection to enable them to come out
all right My grapevlnes cover with
earth. Three years ago l took them
up; they started very early; there was
a late frost and l had no fruit that
year. The next year l covered them
with evergreens, and l had not much
more success. Last year allowed them
10 stay up on the trellises and take
their chances, and had a better crop
before the frost came than | had had
for the last three years. II you have a
wet, warm season and protect them too
much you injure them.-Parker.

with her splendid crop of 81, 600, 900 bushels
OF spring wheat, averaging over % bushels
to the acre, and 5,O06S00O bushels of winter
wheat, which will average 81 bushels to

has been carefully compiled shows what
will surprise many. that Nebraska stands
third among the states as wheat produc-

the states that outrank her are almost ex-

BR1peEpoRT, wv. va.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-We learned yes
terday that the county court had
been called to meet in special
session on Saturday. the 18th
inst, to consider a proposition to
build a bridge across Elk Creek
in Clarksburg to reach the new
depot erected by the B. & o.
Railroad Company. tits a scheme
to tax the people of the county
. to build a town bridge. 1t will
likely cost a hundred thousand
dollars before it is done with, and
then the town having secured all
the bridges it desires, will, under
its charter lately granted, let the
farmers build all the bridges
needed in the county or do with
out them. The town is not viii.
ling to pay taxes on anything
it can avoid, at least the last
grand jury was under that i'm
preston.
The writer is not one of those
who believe it a religious duty to
"cuss" the county court. We
think that the gentlemen consti-
tuting that body are usually an
average of intelligence, moder-
ately competent and reasonably
honest. That they are disposed
to act fairly and carry out the
desires of the people who elect
them and whose servants they
are. The difficulty lies in the
fact that they very often do not
know the wishes Of the people in
many undertakings. For this
the people are usually blamable.
In the present instance they may
not be culpable, because the court
should have published in full the
call for the special session. and
circulated it as widely as posi-
BILE. But we say that usually the
fault lies with the citizens gen
; orally. They do not like to ex-
press their desireuin many at.
fairs, but hang back and wait till
the court acts and then they de-
nounce that body for not doing
what the people desired, when
perhaps they were ignorant OF
the wishes of the majority. Per-
NIT me to suggest 10 my fellow
farmers that we act along q diff

now acquire. And the council
should not. in our judgment, do
any act that would embarrass
that or any other company that
desires to build d railroad to the
town. 1t should not block it by
taking its proposed right-of-way
for a street. The fact that the
Short Line Company intends to
build its station at such areadily
accessible point as the one re-
ferred to, should influence the
County court in its action on the
proposition to build the bridge
over Elk.
The erection of a station in the
heart of the town by a road hay-
ing connection with lines leading
to the northwest, with the prom
Use that the Elkins.Davis road
will be connected with it by q
line from this place to Beling-
ton, thus giving another through
line to the east, would within a
year cause another change o. the
B. & o. depot. The road in or
der to compete with the Short
Line and Elkins road would be
compelled to make its station as
convenient as that of it's rivals.
1t is easier to keep up union
station than a number of tatlons.
That fact would assure the adop-
ton of the Short Line depot as a
Union Station" and every train
passing the town would run into
it, to the proposed point. 1t
would certainly be preferable to
havethe railroad companies build
the bridge at their own expense
and run their trains into the sta
ton at our very doors. to having
the taxpayers build this bridge
in order to keep the station out
of the town. "SHoRTL1NER..
