WHEAT IN TIE SOUTH.

like very much to see wheat raising
more generally adopted ON Southern
farms. There seems To be Il pretty
generally prevalent opinion in the
South that wheat is not suited to the
climate, but we are sure there is moth
ing in that. 1t is true that wheat does
well quite far North, though where
the cold is severe in winter it is ncccss-
AIRY TO resort TO sprng wheat TO keep
the crop from being DESTROYED by
cold; but though the wheat crop has
become aCclimatcd To quite a low decree
OF cold, il is tue that il does well in
hot countries, and al the indications

some hot country. 1t is well known
that wheat Ilou. ,shcd III ages past i N

GERS OF wheat. so 1t X safe TO SAYS
that there is nothing in ;hc climate of
thc Southern States To make wheat a
less popular and important crop there
than it is in the Central or Northern
States.
In fact, in many localities in The
South wheat is now a large and prof.
liable crop. Texas is becoming Il very
large producer of wheat: 50 is Okla

Alabama and North Carolina. Since
tins is all tluc, it is evident that if
Southern farmers only chose to do Sc
and would make proper preparations,
good crops of wheat might he crown
almost anywhere IN any Southern
State.
we earnestly advocate The sowing of
wheat III the South, because no soil can
stand continuous cropping with seed
crops and not dctcrioratc very rapidly.
Such crops take everything from the

are extremely subject to teaching and

and corn has been the absolute dcStruc-
ton Of millions of acres of nee very
fertile land. In no other part of this
country, and possibly Of the whole civ
illzcd world, has there been such waste
OF soil by a vicious system of "ultiva-

Instinct of Cats.

Illustrated, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat, by the fact that sew
eral dozen cats found refuge during
the Ottawa fire in wooden house
which, although the buildings on each
side We're burning down, refused to
catch fire and remained intact. Cats
have a peculiar gift in this direction,
since, in addition to their reputed nine
lives. there is a popular superstition
that they viii only eat what Is good
for them.
This may or may not be a fallacy,
but the instinct of self-preservation
which is common TO all animals, ex-
cept perhaps. horses (who. being very
bags of nerves, will during a fire be-
have with suicidal obstinacyl, has
been proved time and again. The rats
which. in practice as well as In theory,
desert the ship which is no longer sea

and there are many animal lovers who
would not consider it any way extrav-
agaut to suggest that the quacking Of

knowledge on their part of the facts

mean the cutting of their throats,

living is another. In our opinion an
