THE QUIET MAN.

| fingered DER checker game a night
or two ago;
The one who played against me
seemed to have no ghost of show;
| had bunch of lusty kings that
strutted all about
And bullied my opponents men, who
dared not venture out.
little man
Who stayed right in his station ever
since the game began.
He watched my crowned heads march
ing by with banner and with song
And seemed to be discouraged over
standing still so long.
But pretty soon an opening occurred
two blocks away,
And not another moment did that
little fellow stay.
He bounded DER the board and took
three kings i'll one fell swoop,
Then landed in my king row with a
wild ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows
that just sat around and thought
And never made noise while the
other ragged and fought;
The whole community had come to
think of them as dead,
Or else so very near it that their
hope of fame had fed.
The chaps with recognition for their
portion pose and strut,
And seem to overlook the man who
keeps his talker shut.
But some day, when most every one
is looSin' t'Other way,
This quiet fellow sees a chance to
break into the play.
He reaches out and grabs things that
the others had ignored;
He puts into the life game all the
energy he'd stored
Through all the years of silence. Sc
you'd better not forget
The still man in the corner, for he'll
reach the king row yet.

not be obliged to stool out so much
and weaken themselves in order to
cover the ground. 1t seems to be well
established that good soil and early
sowing require less seed.
In England, when the seeding is
done the first of October (Which is
considered early, two bushels of
wheat are sown per acre; when de-
layed until the middle of November,
three bushels are sown per acre. For
some reason. thicker seeding seems TO
be more necessary in England than in
America. An English writer says: 1t
is true that on land in high state OF
fertility, and kept scrupulousiy clean,
full crop of wheat may be obtained
from half bushel of seed per acri
provided that it is sown in September
and deposited regularly over the sur,
face. The most experienced growers
of wheat are convinced Of the benefit
of having the ground fully occupied
at the time when active spring growth
begins"
That corn can be planted too closely
is proved by the case of corn sown for
forage, where even on a rich soil the
stalks will be slender and most OF
them barren or only producing nub-
bins.
In seeding land for meadows,
think the danger generally is in not
sowing enough grass seed. Enough
should be sown to occupy the whole
ground at once and leave no room for
weeds,

Sowing Grain Thick or Thin

few years since | started my
hired man to sowing a fertile, well pre-
pared field with wheat about Sept.
10, using a broadcast seeder set to
SOW one and a half bushels per acre.
Unknown to us, the regulator of the
seeding works had got out of order
and did not SOW as much as the index
showed. When the field was gone
over, the man came up, having nearly
half the seed left, leaving in the
ground less than bushel per acre. |
sent him back to cross-sow it and get
in the remainder of the seed. When
night came he had got over about half
of the field the second time. During
the night and next day a heavy rain
storm came on, and before the ground
was dry enough to go on, the grain
was up, and no more was done to it,
leaving half the field with twice as
| much seed as the other half.
Of course the thickest seeding COW
cred the ground soonest, and looked
the better in the fall and in the spring,
but at harvest | made a thorough ex-
The thicker seeding was much the
thicker, the straw slenderer and the
heads shorter than on the thin seed
| ing. The straw on the thinner seeding
was stronger, and the heads were not
only longer. but the kernels were larg-
er and plumper than on the thicker
seeding There was not much diff
ference in the yield per acre on the
two parts of the field, and it appears
in this case that less than a bushel of
! seed per acre was as good as nearly
two bushels.
There is not much doubt that one
bushel of wheat per acre under favor
able conditions will produce as great
a yield as bushel and half or two
bushels. The first requirement is
fertile soil adapted to wheat, to give
the young plants a vigorous growth.
The second is early sowing, so that
the plants will have time to spread
and cover the ground before winter as
protection to the roots against winter
killing. Some farmers contend that it
is better to SOW two bushels of wheat
per acre in order that the plants need

PRINTING BUSINESS.

There is probably no other business
that generally makes so poor return
for the capital, skill. care and energy
expended in its prosecution as does
that of printing. The experience OF
all job printers is the same, and it is
largely attributable to the lack OF
knowledge of the very many items
which so to make up the total expense
account, as also to the ordinate desire
to secure business at any cost,
1t is urged that intelligent study be
given this matter, and practical use
be made in each office of the informa-
tion given, so that unreasoning com
petition may cease. and that the print
er may enjoy the fair recompense for
the investment of capital and time that
most other business enjoys.
The attainment of this will perhaps
require nerve; as also the abandon
ment OF the practice of some, that so
long as work is secured it is matter
of comparative Indifference how small
the profit will be.
1t is the genral opinion of newspa-
per men that the subscription price OF
papers will have to be raised, and that
the price of space and job work win
have, to be increased. Everything
that goes into the newspaper or into
job work is increased in price. Labor,
paper and materials of all kinds cost
more now than ever before. and the
publisher must have more for what
he sells.-EX.
