How Mach seed wheat 20 the Acre
In the fan OF 1877 an experiment was
begun on the farm Of the Ohio State
University In seeding wheat AZ diner
ent rates per acre The experiment
was made on rich bottom land. and.
although a yield Of "a bushels OF wheat
was harvested from five pecks Of seed
the yield for seven pocks was 81 bush
els. The next year the experiment
was repeated with great care. ave du-
plicate plots OF ono-sixth acre each
being sown with each quantity Of seed
with the result again that the seven
peck rate OF seeding gave enough more
wheat thar any smaller quantity TO
abundantly compensate the extra cost
OF seed
In 1882 this question was taken up
by the Ohio Experiment station. then
located on the same farm. and was
repeated nearly every year until the
station was removed 20 its present lo-
cation. The final summing up of these
experiments. made In 1891. Indicated
a maximum average yield on that soil
for quantities OF seed ranging from
five to seven pecks

The question OF late sowing Of wheat
to escape the Hessian fly is not one
that is entirely settled It has been
thought by sowing later than certain
dates in certain latitudes the danger
was avoided. Bulletins have been
published to show the dates at which
sowing Of wheat could be considered
safe. But the Hessian fly has recently
shown a disinclination to be controlled
even by late sowings He has changed
his dates OF attack to points where II
the wheat Is sown later 1t win be IN
more danger from winter killing than
from the Hessian ny even.
The Ohio station has Just issued
leafet on the matter. I'm which It gives
a resume OF its experiments in early
and late sowing Of wheat In part 1t
says AT Columbus, wheat sown Oc-
tober 4 and suffered but little. In
the southern part OF the state wheat
sown before October 10 was consider
ably injured while that sown after
that date measureably escaped. Il Will
be observed that tho dates Of safety
from fly indicated by these expert
ments are generally later than It has
heretofore been supposed 20 be neoes-
sary TO wait 10 avoid the fy; but In
1877 Prof. A. J. Cook writing Of the
disastrous attack OF hy in that state
observed that destructive attack was
repeatedly observed on wheat sown as
late as Sept. 20, and Director G. ID.
Smith OF the Michigan Experiment
station, has reported severe injury TO
wheat sown there the goth Of last Sep
tember. It seems. therefore. that the
date OF actual safety. 10 seasons Of
general prevalence OF this pest, is 50
late as to incur as great a risk from
winter-killing as the ordinary risk
from the fiy. In case Of an Injurious
attack developing upon the early soWn
wheat II should be turned under, In
order to destroy the insects and pre-
vent a further attack the following
spring. The cost Of turning under and
reseedlng would usually be small 10
comparison 10 the loss which would re-
suit from the fan attack and from car
rylng over a host OF nies to prey upon
the crop during the spring.

A Riddle.

Druggists Circular: In 1899 the Mis-
souri, Historical society gave a histor-
ical loan exhibit, to which were con-
trlbuted objects Of 2 general as we'll as
local historic interest. During the tenn
porary absence Of the librarian one day
q porter called and left an oil portrait
with the janitor, but did not tell the
name of the owner nor the subject Of
the picture. On opening it the librar-
ian saw the face Of a man apparently
about thirty years old, with small
brown eye a great deal Of curly ed
dish brown hair. high color, straight
nose and a decided expression of scorn
on the mouth. Altogether a decided air
OF distinction rests Upon the face. The
man Is dressed in the high style, white
tie and rolling black collar which dis
tinguished portraits painted during the
first quarter Of the last century. The
picture was hung during the exhibit
with h query attached, who is this
gentleman?" and so It hangs on the
historical society's walls today. It was
never called for, and though copied in
numerous papers with the request that
1t be identified or claimed the mysteri-
GUS owner has never made himself
known, nor has he parted with the
secret of the strangers identity. Sug-
gestions have been offered from time to
time, but non of them has seemed
satisfactory, and the question still re-
mains. who is this gentleman?

BoY1sH ETHEL ROOSEVELT.
She Is . Terror to tie Policemen When
She Mounts Her Wheel.

Philadelphia North American: Ethel
Roosevelt is the terror Of the white house
policemen. She and hef wheel cut such
capers in the grounds around the execu-
tive mansion that the, officers are con-
stantly in fear lest the presidents little
daughter will be harmed or that she will
bring them to grief. Saturday Ethel did
not have to go to school, so she spent her
time in doing tricks with her bicycle that
caused the hair to raise on half a dozen
helmeted heads. She came out the main
door of the mansion, mounted her wheel
On the portico and rods down the three
steps between porch and pavement as
deity as a stage performer.
Then, with her hair streaming behind
and her face wreathed In an impish smile
she sped swiftly down around the asphal
walks, shaving the p~olicemen's toes and
causing visitors to stare in wonder.
/. But EtheIs star performance was
pulled Off one evening last week just as
1t was getting dusk. The lamplighter
came along and propped his ladder
against one Of the big pillars in front of
the white house, on the top of which is a
large gas lamp. The lamp proper is about
the same distance from the top of the
pillar as the ordinary street lamp is from
the ground.
Ethel arrived on the scene Just as the
was about to ascend. She tumped
on the rounds before him, mbe to
the marble landing and then Skinned up
the iron post in true tomboy fashion.
She had procured a match somewhere,
and, striking 1t, she threw open the glass
doors and applied the flame to the Jet.
Sliding down the pole. she grabbed the
ladder and tried to make off with It,, but
tho lamplighter soon overlook her and
recaptured it.
This afternoon the Roosevelt's favorite
dog, a black and tan named Jack, arrived,
He had been sent by express from Oyster
Bay. Kermit and Ethel were delighted to
see their old friend and playfellow again,
and the trio had a merry romp on the
lawn in the rear Of the white house.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct. 21.-Will-
lam A. Jones, commissioner of Indian
affairs, was the principal speaker at
last evenings SESSION of the Indian con-
ference. He said the most Important
step taken by the department during
the year was securing a record Of In
dian births, marriages and deaths. IN
working Cor Indian reform grave OBJ
stacles were encountered. The indL-
eliminate issue Of rations, unwise ap-
preparation of money, leasing Of allot-
nents and the prevailing educational
policy were some of the obstacles. The
schools gave the Indians too maaly
Kings, including not a few luxuries. for
title or nothing. Not earning their
ducation, in too nan cases they
allied to appreciate it. The Indians
were hardly more self reliant than they
we're a quarter Of a century ago. The
ime had come to make a vigorous move
20 end such guardianship and throw
he Indian on his w resources. In
conclusion Mr.. Jones defended the pol
icy which he had pursued in regard To
