Two Kinds of American Wheat.

The wheat grown in the United States
is Of two general kinds. One is the old.
fashioned plump-kernel winter wheat
grown through all the Central and South.
spring wheat-the "Scotch Fife and the
blue Stem" Of Minnesota and the two
Dakotas-for many purposes the best
wheat grown in the world and the kind
that has made the fame of Minneapolis
Hour. For the season of 1899, the prod
uct of the hard, or spring, wheat sections
OF the country will amount to upward of
Z4o,OOO,0OO bushels, about two-fifths of
the entire production of the United
States.-McClure's Magazine.

ANIMALS INSENSIBLE TO PAIN.
They Do Not Feel the Whip as Keen
~ as Do Human Beings.


If it is true that animals feel main
less than men, then it is also true that
the fortunes and cruelties sometimes in
t1icted upon animals if administered to
men would be unbearable to the point al
most of insanity or death. The most
sensitive part of the human frame is the
skin, and while this is true relatively Of
animals it is certain also that the skin
of dogs or other animals is not so sensitive
as that of man. Besides. the animals skin
is protected by coat of insenstive hair.
In the case of surgical operations on men
reaching, for instance, to the abdominal
cavity it is the incis;on into the cavity
that requires the taking of anaesthetics,
and not so much the work to be done af-
ter the cavity is opened. After serious
operations upon animals which have been
placed under chloroform it frequently
happens that few minutes after recov-
erlng consciousness the animals frisk
about the room, sometimes jumping from
the floor to the operating table.

Green NIanurinc.

Such crops as buckwheat, rye, mustard
and barley when used for green manur-
ing do not return to the soil any more
fertility than they have taken from it.
They do not gather any nitrogen from
the atmosphere, as do clover, peas, beans
and vetch. But We can tell you what
they will do. They will take nitrogen
from the soil and hold it, and return it
when they are plowed under, which in
many cases would have leached away if
no crop had been growing there That
is one great advantage in using rye or
barley as a cover crop for the soil in
winter to be plowed under in the spring.
They also change some Of the mineral
elements to a. form more readily avail
able fol. the plant to feed upon, doing
this during their growth, and by the hui
mic acid they. generate in their decay,
and they furnish humus to the soil. The
buckwhcat and mustard crop do the
same thing when sown in spring or sum-
mer to fit the field for a fall-sOwn crop.

u This question is being asked So fre:
f9uently and 50 earnestly that the follow
ing opinion is given in reply BY the Yer
mont experiment station: ses.,z*
Whether or not to tap will depend
upon the circumstances of which the SUI
garmaker is the best judge. His de
.cisien should be influenced by the fol-
lowing considerations: The sugar is the
reserve food Of the tree stored last sea-
son to feed the buds this coming spring.
The amount of sugar taken from an
ordinary ma pie tree by tapping is from
= to per cent it's total sugar con-
tent. This IS SO small d fraction as usll-
ally to cause no appreciable loss to the
tree. But If the tree has been SO badly
eaten by worms during the past season
be undesirable to make even this small
ain which would somewhat decrease
the chances OF life for the tree.

filled the commodious playhouse to over
flowing. and on account of the extent Of the
crowd there was some confusion in seating
the delegations.
The opera house was most deliberately
decorated with flags, bunting, banners and
patriotic devices and presented withal a
decidedly handsome appearance. Standards
appropriately lettered marked the positions
of the several state delegations in the or
chestra chairs.
The stage was set garden scene and
directly under the proscenium arch was sus-
pended a motto design worded: For God
and Home and Native Land" American
flags formed graceful drapings on either
side. On the stage were the national Off
GERS, including besides Mrs. Stevens the fol-
lowing: Vice president at-large, Miss Anna
A Gordon, Illinois; corresponding secre-

conference of departments at $50
o'clock and meeting of the purity confer
ence, under the direction of Mrs. Helen L.
Bullock, national superintendent of the de-
partment of purity of the w c. T. u, at
Luther Place Memorial Church. At the
latter meeting there were addresses by
Mrs. Bullock. Mrs. N. r. c. Morrow and
Mrs. Mabel l.. Conkln.
Immediately following the calling Of the
convention to order the crusade psalm of
the union was read responsibility, and the
crusade hymn, "Give to the Winds Thy
Fears" sung. Mrs. Cornelia B.
Forbes, president of the state union of
Connecticut, offered prayer. Mrs. Clara c.
Hoffman, the recording secretary, called
the roll.
During the call there were number Of
Interruptions. Mrs. Ramsey of South Da-
kota wanted to know if by some means or
other quiet could not prevail in the con-
ventiOn. She said there had always been
more or less confusion in such gatherings,
and it was time a change had been inau-
gurated.
