good farmer that be had plaNs
sixteen inches between the rows az
three in es apart in the rows, one
grain in a place, and had harvested
eighty-Four bushels to the acre, be
planted q small plot to wheat on Sep
tem5er %, 1898, on hard clay soil
that was napured in the spring and
planted to strawberries. The plant
ing was six inches apart in the row
between the strawberry rows. Two
rows he planted one grain to the hill; !;
one row two grains to tho hill. He
gave tie wheat one cultivation on
April -. The average number Of
heads to the hill in the rows planted
one grain to the hill was eighteen
large heads. The largest numoer Of
heads to . single grain was thi,ty,
which gave g yield Of 2097 grains.
The row with the two grains to the
hill gave an average of nineteen heads
to the hill. The greatest yield was
thirty-siz heads to the hill, which
gave a yield Of 2035 grains-sixty-
two less than the one grain hill. The
yield was at the rate of los bushels to
the acre, providing the planting was
twelve by six inches. I planted a
small plot to oats on the same kind of
soil on April q, planting six inches
apart, one grain to the hill, and cult
waited four times. The yield was q:
the rate of 175 bushels to the acre,
providing the planting was dcne
twelve by six inches. He has raised
as many IS forty-ive large heads from
a single grain, when planted six by
six inches apart one grain in hill. |
and in 1897 lie had two hills of rye,
one of which yielded 1875 heads and
he other 127 heads, each grown from
I single grain. The plants have more |
:oom for their roots and are abun- |
lantly and constantly fed ct such dis
:anccs while in close seeding they
lave periods OF starvation.

Advantage of Square Fields.

Wherever practicable or at all con-
veuient to have them so, it will he
found that fields Of a square shape,
or nearly so, are the most economical
in fencing, aud the best, for several
reasons. Ittakes less fence to enclose
q given area in the form of square
than any other shape, and next to the
square comes the oblong. By all
N cans let the corners OF fields have
right angles, unless there are impor-
tart Typographical reasons for having
them otherwise. When a field is
square there need be no short rows
in caltivating it, and tue exact area OF
the field IS easily calculated by the
number and distance Of the rows. Thus
the farmer may know to certainty
the quantity OF seed and fertilizer
he is using to the acre, and how to
count the cost Of plowing and cultl7at-
ing any crop. .,
Also the yield per acre, if he will
weigh ana measure. And Il the Wnoie
farm is laid off in squares, there need
be 70 more guess WORK as to how
many acres the culti7able land con-
iains. 4 farm looks better having
shaped fields, and roads are
placed to better advantage. It was 8
wise provision of some of the States
to lay Of the counties in exact squares,
and then divide the land into square
sections Of go acres each. Thus all
farms in those States may have the
satsare form, whether containing the
waole section, or only one-half, one
fonrkh. >or one-cighth thereof. -h.

Chicago. Jan. 20. - "War between
Russia and Japan is locked for as in
evitable by the naval officers of the
countries Who have been nearest the
probable scene Of future operations -
said Lieut.. w. Romanotf, of the i'm
pcrial Russian navy. who arrived in

jst completed a three years cruise in
Asiatic waters on the Russian battle
ship Sissoiveliky, and is Oh his way to
st. Petersburg. He continued:
Just how soon such Il war may be-
gin it is difficult to say. but events lit.
tie short of miraculous must occur to
avert it. The Japanese are building
warslips as rapidly as possible in an
ticil'ation Of the outbreak of hostilities
and Russia is strengthening her navy
as fast as she can. That Russia must
have Il naval base between Port Ar
thur and VladivCstock is conceded. and
that she will try to get one i'll Corca
is certain. In the event OF such Il war
it is considered probable i'll Russiaa
naval circles that Russia will have the
aid Of Germany and that England will
take the other side. European war
will follow the outbreak of hostilitics
between Russia and Japan. The
movement of Russian troops toward
the Afghanistan and British India
borders. the mobilization of trans
Caspian troops at Baku and Herat and
other military maneuverings OIL the
part OF Russia are taken by official
Russia to mean the beginning of Il
movcn ent to eliminate English intiu-
cncc in territory heretofore held by
her beginning by Kabul. 1t is certain
that England will have to fight to re,
tain her territory in the East"
