Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
It may be worth while to give your
readers our experience with a few
acres Of wheat this year. We sowed
four acres and threshed thirty-seven
bushels. We selected the ground and
broke well and narrowed and disked
until we had a good seed bed On
one acre we sowed clover and cross
drilled the wheat at the rate of 112
bushels to acre, the rest at one bushel
to the acre. We gave the acre where
we sowed ~ bushel top dressing
of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda in
April and it yielded 16 bushels
nearly as much as the other three
acres. We really think from our
observation that this dressing of
nitrate of soda increased the yield
100 per cent, as the ground was all
alike as near we could see. Besides
this we now have a stand of clover
on this plot knee high.
We also sowed one acre from seed
bought i'll Indiana, said to be very
fine wheat. It was complete fail
ure, making only three bushels. Our
conclusions from this is to be very
careful where you get your seed
wheat and be sure it is adapted to
your section before sowing.
We have one farmer that made 81
bushels from 178 acres. Can any
body beat that this season?
Our crop is very nearly a complete
failure this season, owing to the
Hessian fly and rust. We have sent
the United States Department of
Agriculture the names of over 500
farmers for their bulletins on the
Hessian fly. We don't think that
enough of our farmers write for
these valuable publications, and we
try and help them out by sending
their names to the Department.
Smaller acreage and better tillage
will be the result of this years ex-
perienee, and who knows but that it
will turn out to be blessing in dis
guise?
Our people are buying, more and
better cattle and hogs, and we believe
there will be Is or 20 cars of cattle
fattened around Hickory this winter.
If they only make the manure clear,
it is good profit.
We did not intend to write such
a long letter, but have not the facil-
ity Of condensing what we wish to
say. One word and we are through.
The following varieties of COW peas
brought the most money to the farm
ers in our section this year; they
were shipped out for seed all over the
United States: Whipporwill, Black,
New Era, Clay. Red Ripper and
white mixed peas were dull and not
wanted by the trade.

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
The season for setting strawber-
ries is at hand. There has been some
changes in the method of planting.
Here is the plan followed by some of
the most successful growers.
SETTING STRAWBERRIES.
The land is we'll plowed and the
rows laid out. Some use manure or
fertilizer, while others say do not
put it on till after the plants have
shown that they are alive. The bed
is made about the size of cotton beds,
then it is left until a rain has fallen
sufficiently to settle the land. Then
the plants are set from 8 to 18 inches
apart. All growers do not agree on
the distance or method of setting,
but some of the most successful
make a deep hole with a trowel or
paddle by pushing it into the soil
and then press it either forward or
backward so that the hole is small in
the bottom and large at the top. The
plant is then shaken so that the
roots hang down like the fringe on
a curtain; then it is lowered into the
hole so that the bud is just above the
level of the bed. Then the trowel
or paddle is pushed in the bed about
two or three inches from the hole
containing the plant; press the pad
die toward the plant as tight as you
well can. You can then put some
soil in the last hole with paddle or
kick little with your foot so as to
partially fill the hole You see by
this plan some of the roots of the
plant will be very deep while others
will be near the surface. If the
weather should be dry the deep roots
will save the plant.
Here are some points that all
planters agree on: The roots of the
plants hOuld be yellow or white,
never brown or black, as the last
named color indicate old or diseased
plants. Never water the plants, as
that kills it. CWe think that if the
soil is carefully stirred in a few
the water would do good.)
CULTIVATION AFTER SETTING.
The earlier you plant, the more
distance should be given. As soon
as the plant is known to be alive,
run the bar of the plow as close as
you well can to the plant, not over
two inches deep; then SOW a medi-
um grade of commercial fertilizer
and cover this with a small furrow.
Stir frequently enough to keep the
weeds and grass down.

The theory also has been advanced
that women are less self-conscious than
men, for it is asserted that self-con-
seriousness is the basis of the confusion
OF the stammerer. When the atten-
ton of lifelong sufferer from hating

statement that the stammerer stam-
mers through fear of stammering, he
replied:

Ever since then the fear Of stammering

TOUGH Tables.

OF all the animal adages founded on
the mistake Of a fact, weak as a
cat is the most absurd.
The cats muscles are extraordinarily
large and powerful in proportion to the
animals size. Then, again, those mus
cles are attached to bones fitting to-
gether at such angles as to make 1.-The
finest system OF springs and levers"
says Dr.. Huidekoper. known in the
whole feline group: the claws are
sharper, and are curved into stronger
hooks than in any other mammal, and
by the action of special muscles are
withdrawn under the protection Of
sheath-like pads, that they may escape
wear and injury when not in use.
The slender, supple form of the cat
makes it capable of the highest activ-
ity. The heavy boy, you may have
noticed. is not always the Strongest;
the thin. active boy is the fastest run
ner and the quicker at games which
need both strong and timber muscles.
The shoulder-blade, the arm, and the
forearm, the thigh, the leg, and the
foot of the cat lie at what the veterin-
airy surgeons call "close angles" That
peculiar conformation shows that the
enormous jumps which the cat can
take. to the envy of any athletic boy,
are due to the great power and the close
angles of the joints; but the conforima-
ton os the legs make the cats stride

DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT

Delivered Interesting Lecture Yester-
terday at Yale.
The lecture delivered by Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott at Marquand chapel was
largely attended and was most inter-
esting one. His subject was "Presump-
tions Underlying the Christian Minis
try" He discussed at some length the
Fundamental assumptions which lay at
the basis of the work Of the minister
of to-day and their adequacy. He said
every profession in life has its under
Lying Prescriptions and that they must
be belief to start with. The army be-
leves in force, Tolstoi does not. A
man who does not believe in govern
ment should go else and man who
does not believe in a governments
power to 'coerce Should not belong to
one.
If man has only a moral idea he can
not prove the thesis by that alone. He
must have a deduction of facts that
are conclusive to apply to ideals. Re
Iigion is the life of God in man. He
referred frequently to the One Hundred
and Third Psalm during his lecture,
The minister, he said, was composed of
worth and truth and if his heart was
Eurcharged with truth he should go
forth and tell it to the world, but many
may have their doubts and this lacks
conviction.

DETECTIVE WARDS CAPTURE.

Detective Ward arrested three young men
last evening and first charged them with
idleness, later changing the charge to theft.
He saw one Of tie men come out of cloth
ing store on Court street, after disposlng of
a bundle and join the other two. He went
into the store and found that the man had
sold valuable, almost new, coat, for $3.50.
He then arrested the three men. They told
very conflicting stories as to how they got
the coat. 1t was finally learned, however,
that the man who sold the coat, and who
frst said his name was Roger l.. Russ, but
later said 1t was Rush, had stolen the coat
in Bridgeport assisted by the other two.
Russ lives at 1856 Lafayette street, Bridge
port, and the other two men, both f whom
reside in Bridgeport, are Harry Clark of
% Sheldon street and Edward Kelley of 405
Bosw,ck avenue, ..s. ... ~. -. 49,.
The Bridgeport police were notified by
Captain CoWles last night and said that
they knew the men and that the men knew
them; The bridgeport police will come af.
ter them to-day.
