modification of the height of the great

All the engineers in the end favored
damming the Nile at the first cataract

Suan, and not far from the island Of
Philae. There nature has been lavish IN
providing hills of solid rock on each side
of the river that will stand the ravages
of the elements as long as the world
lasts.
Little time was wasted in the prepara-
ton of the original plans for the dam.
But the officials having the matter in
charge, intent only on the unitarian as
pect of the problem, brought about their
heads, four years ago, Il widespread out
burst of Indignation, when it was an

Preparing Corn Stubble for Wheat

SA'eAA A"S WI SAuOOAO W ucdts
BY far the largest proportion of land
says Mr.. JamisOn in Practical Farmer,
is corn stubble. Only in one or two in
stances in all our experience and obser-
vatlon have we known corn stubble to be
plowed. Now it is usually fitted for
wheat by the use of the disc and drag
harrow. To pillow the land would turn
mp all the stubs and their roots, which
would be very detrimental to good work
at seeding time. The soil Oh the roots
would be much more In the way than
the stubs themselves. BY those not hav-
ing experience, high stubs are thought to
be very Objectionable, and much in the
way: If we have high stubs we roll
them down in the direction we wish to
drive the harrows. If they are green
many of them will be broken off at the
surface. We follow the roller with the
this gives the land two workings. We
then 60 in the same direction with the
drag harrow. If many stubs are up
rooted, another rolling will be great ad-
vantage, as it will level the land oblit-
crate the harrow marks and crush the
soil from the stub roots. Working the
tools all in the same direction will be
1o TOM J.! to be quite IN advantage if the
drill is also driven in the same direction.
Much wheat is seeded here after once
working the land with drag harrow,
but we prefer to work the land oftener.
We have one field Of ten acres that we
worked seven times before drilling, last
fall. We have learned this: If the sea-
son is very dry at the time the corn is
matured, and continues dry till seeding
time, it is useless to try to get moisture
to sprOut the wheat by making a dust
blanket on top. By working the land rs
we do. we have but little trouble with
corn stubs, and great masses of pumpkin
vines. Cut these vines with a disc har-
row. and in day or two they will be out
of the way. We used to try to get the
stubs cut low, but since we have learned
the use of the roller to break them down,
we. do not care if they are eighteen
inches or two feet high, but we try to
get them mashed down so the disc har-
row will straddle these. for it is a fear
full rough job to try to ride the disc har-
row when it jumps corn stubs. Last
year we grew thirty-one bushels of
wheat to the acre, seeded after corn as
described. The soil was so dry that the
wheat was from five to seven weeks
coming up, and then it appeared to be
but little more than one-half stand.
But the favorable spring weather caused
it to stool out at wonderful rate Once
before, after corn, we grew wheat at
the rate Of thirty-nine bushels per acre.
