SEED WHEAT KERNELS.
pends, in a Great Measure At Least,
the Resulting Crop.

Great possibilities lie in the devel-
opment of seed wheat. Constant Sc
lection Of the largest kernels will
have a constant tendency to improve
the seed and the resulting crop.
Some experiments were carried on in
France to determine to what extent
the crop could be improved by such
a selection. Though the process was
carried on for only three years, the
results were apparent. The expert
ment was tried in two directions, al
ways selecting the largest seeds for
one crop and the smallest seeds for
another. At the end Of three years
the yield on the plats planted with
the large seeds was very marked over
the plats that had been planted with
the small seeds. Also the large wheat
grains had more vgor and developed
much more rapidly than did the 9TH
ers. and the crop matured earlier.
The same experimenter carried on
at the same time q parallel expert
ment. He selected for one lot the
grains that developed soonest on the
heads, and for another lot selected
the grains that matured latest on the
heads. In three years he had two
crops growing side by side, one OF
them maturing six days ahead Of the
other

The question of farmers moving &c

ment in living in town, where every.
thing is more handy, where they have
their mail more regularly, and where
they are not burdened with the cares
of farmers life; but even this class
might derive more real pleasure on
the farm where there is more quiet
than in town, where there is always
more or less (generally more) noise,
and a general hustle and hustle. An
other point in favor Of living on the
farm is the rearing of a family of
children. Notice, if you will, the strong
probabilities Of city boys getting into
bad company, and forming such hab'
its as their parents would blush to
have them become acquainted with.
While the lads of the country do not
come in contact with so many of
these things, yet they find out enough
sometimes to do them a great amount
OF harm. We would not try to ele-
vate ourselves above our friends in
town, but we do believe children are
more apt to form habits through evil
associations in the alleys and back
streets of town life than is prob
able in connection with a farm life.

NEW CENTURY HINTS.
proved Methods and Make Their
Calling Respected.

A new century has begun, and it is
evident that agriculture will make
rapid strides in the next few years.
1t is evident that it is soon to take
its rightful position in the world.
Every farmer can do something to-
ward helping on this forward move
ment by improving his methods and
his surroundings and educating him
self along the advance lines. Let
them shake of that absurd jealousy
and distrust OF each other that has
SO long prevailed and been kept alive
by crafty politicians. Get rid of that
foolishness and unite in advancing
their interests along all lines. The
farmer should hold a position in the
world equal with men of any other
vocation and profession, and he will
when he makes himself their equal in
education and skill. He should have
a strong voice in shaping legislation,
and he will when he ceases to dele
gate to lawyers the power to legis-
late for him. Every farmer should
consider these matters seriously and
do all he can to advance himself and
his fellow farmers along all the lines
mentioned. Let them insist that the
taxes they pay for education shall
be devoted to educating their chill
dren to the farm instead Of away
from it, and that this education shall
be practical and worth to the child
all It costs. Let them insist that the
improvement Of the country is as es-
sential as the improvement Of cities,
and that all appropriations of the
public money shall not be for granite
and marble buildings. but that a por-
tion OF them shall be for the farmers
benefit--Fred Grundy, in Farm and
FireSide

WIDE TIRES AND ROADS.
In Europe Every Wagon and Market

We are long way yet from having

rope could not exist without a series
Of laws, varying in the different coun-
tries, but in all essentials the same.
by which the width of all wagon tires
is regulated according to the weight
carried. In France every wagon and
market cart is a miniature roadmaker.
The width Of the tires there varies
from three to ten inches, most Of the
four-wheeled vehicles having six-inch
rim. and a rear axle several inches
longer than the front one to prevent
improper tracking. In Germany, where
the main roads are models Of smooth.
ness, every heavily loaded wagon must
have at least a four-inch tire and even
the pleasure carriages are required TO
be shod with tires wider than those 20
often seen in America on the heaviest
trucks. Similar laws exist in Austria.
Switzerland and throughout the Brit.
ish isles, and in many cities on the
Asiatic and African continents. 1t is
probable that any attempt to make and
enforce similar laws in this country
would meet with determined opposi-
tion. Naturally destructive race,
Americans scorn anything like saving,
and prefer to build road thrice over
to caring for them properly. Common
sense would dictate that wide tires
should be used, law or no law. but they
never will be unless the intelligent rich
riders set the fashion, and then Others
will follow. Until then our good roads
will be destroyed almost as fast o.

A Point of View for Idlerr,

Self-seekirg and sen-coddling and
avoidance Of all avoidable pains and
duties ought to make us discentented,
and they do. Part Of our time and
strength We have need to devote to
ilabors whereof the pay comes not ir
cash, nor in ordinary pleasures or ad'
vantages, but in satisfactions which
are spiritual and benefit our souls,
To have no anxieties, to be subject to
no annoyances, to have no unwelcom-
duties and no occasion for self-deniaI,
is not by any means to be in a good
case. Anyone finding himself in such
predicament is bound to 60 out and
hunt up lebors and troubles merely to
make life worth living. Every one o.
us is a wheel with cogs in it, meant tt.
fit in with other cogged wheels anc
turn more or less laboriously and ef-
1ectively in the great human machine.

PUBLIC EMINENT.

Every few days "a bright newspaper
man" comes to Raleigh, spends few
hours here, and writes to his paper that
public sentiment in Raleigh is strong
against impeachment. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. There" are not
go white men in Raleigh who are against
impeachment There are some, of course,
for there is always some division of SEN
timent upon SO grave matter, but the
overwhelming. sentiment in Raleigh as in
nearly every other place in the State, is
for impeachment. At least 80 per cent of
the white voters in Wake county
favor conviction. That is fact tlaC
ought not to weigh with any Senator. He
ought to render his verdict according to
the law and the evidence, but in view

Machen is one of the makers of the new
South He has changed the map of Cen
trail Georgia Flourshing towns have
sprung up along the railroad lines he has
developed.
Hon. Clark Howell, in an editorial in
the Atlanta Constitution, said of him:
ITO the people of Georgia, Machen is
known principally by the roads he has
built in the South. He has brought all
Georgia within hand-reach of Atlanta.
He is public benefactor.
|. While at work on the Covington and,
Macon railroad, Machen's health failed.
After much useless expenditure Of time
and money he was induced by friend
who had been cured of nervous prostra-
tion to try Paine's celery compound. That
the remedy was a revelation to him no
one can doubt who reads Machen's letter;
50 Wall Street, New York.
Gentlemen: l spent many thousands Of
dollars, including eight months abroad,
for nervous prostration and then found
Paine's celery compound the remedy l
ought to have taken at first. Doctors
periodically tinkered at and patched me
UP so that my nerves would hold together
for a short while, seemingly just long
enough for my bank account to get re-
spite. However, your medicine has side
tracked the doctors. My nerves don't
seem to require any rest, and | am in
such good spirits these days it doesn't
matter much whether l have any bank
account or not. l have determined on
Paine's celery compound as my family
remedy from now on.
