EXPERIENCE WITH WHEAT.

Conclusion. From Field Tests In
Ohio Covering Twelve Years.
The results of field tests covering
twelve years work upon the farm of
the Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton at Wooster show the twelve heav-
lest yielding varieties to be, in the or
der named, Mealy. Gypsy, Improved
Poole, Poole, Early Ripe, Niger, Val
ley, Mediterranean, Perfection, Red
Wonder, Nixon and New Monarch.
The average weight per measured
bushel is fair index of the plumpness
and grade of wheat. The varieties
standing highest in this regard are, in
order, Red Wonder, Nixon, Improved
Fulcaster, Fulcaster, Hickman, Gypsy,
Diamond Grit, Mediterranean, Niger,
Deitz, Valley, Bearded Monarch and
Fultz, all red grained wheats.
The twelve testing lowest, beginning
with the lowest, are Rural New Yorker
No. 6, Forty Fold, Jones' Square Head,
Early Arcadian, New Soules, Gold
Coin, New Columbia, International No
6, Stanley, Giant Square Head, Smiths
Rust Proof and Mealy.
Ranking the above varieties as re-
CARDS both yield and quality as shown
by weight per bushel, giving sixty
points to yield and forty points to
weight, the ten standing highest, in the
order of their merit, are Gypsy, Red
Wonder, Early Ripe, Improved Poole,
Niger, Nixon, Poole, Valley, Mediter.
ranean and Mealy.
Thick and Thin Seeding.
Eighteen different tests with five
different varieties of wheat-the Val
ley, Rudy, Poole, Fultz and Mealy-
extending over ten years work, show
a gradual increase from 1876 bushels,
grown from three pecks of seed, to an
average of 21.SS bushels, from nine
pecks of seed. In eight of the eighteen
tests ten pecks gave larger yield
than a less amount of seed, and in only
one test of the eighteen did six pecks
give the largest yield.
Early and Late Seeding.
Seedlings of wheat have been made at
intervals of seven days from Sept ]
to Oct. 27. The largest yields on the
average have come from seedlings made
Sept % and the next largest yields
from Sept Is. Two seasons when the
Hessian fly practically ruined wheat
in Ohio, 1900 and 1901, Sept. 27 and
Oct. gave the best yields.
Old Versus New Seed.
termination tests of wheat one ia
six years old show that wheat one
year old will terminate as well IS new
wheat and that even two-year-old
wheat, if of good quality, would better
be used than inferior seed whose only
virtue is that it is new.
This Seasons Late Harvest.
The extremely late harvest this year
has been favorable to rust, and wheat
is of low grade as well as Of light
yield. Large yields and high weight
per measured bushel have usually beer
associated.

device that will be convenient in husk-.
ing corn out of the shock. The Illus
tration is self explanatory and should
be made large enough to hold a whole
shock of corn at time. The operator
sits ON the seat with the corn in front
of him, and as husking proceeds he
can remove the slower and tie it into
bundles out of his way. This is the
best device I have seen.

Higgins.

Yesterday morning, after brief illness,
Mrs. Josephine White Higgins passed
away at her home in the family of Mr..
and Mrs. James Richie. She came to
St. Johnsbury from Middlesex after her
marriage to the late Samuel Higgins, 40
years ago. Her native dignity Of bear
ing could not long conceal a most
gracious and lovable nature. AS time
went on her quiet sympathy and sincerity
came to be more deeply felt, and her
warmth of heart found many ways OF
expression and of practical usefulness.
There was unfailing generosity and con-
sideration in all her estimates of people.
She had quick appreciation of what
was good In every one and always put
emphasis on that side of character and
life. Intelligent and devout as a Chris
tian in the communion of St. Andrews
church, she was also broad in her re.
hglOus sympathies and in her interest of
the public welfare. While never prom
1nent in society she contributed much to
refined ideals of home and social life and
to the making of an atmosphere of kind
Illness. To her last hour she was caring
more for some other one than for herself.
Mingled with a deep sense of loss there is
gratitude for every remembrance of her
gentle presence-now that her ripe and
gracious spirit has passed from us. The
funeral service will be held at the home
on Park street at half past three O'Clock
Thursday afternoon

Exciting Experience

Mrs. Chas. Smith, who lives west OF
Richmond, met with an accident, last
Saturday, which might have been very
serious. AS it was, she sustained some
severe bruises. She drove to Garrett in
the morning, and, thinking her horse
needed drink, she drove to the water
ing trough north of the court house.
She got out of her buggy and unreined
the horse, but it did not drink. Mrs
Smith then removed the bride in order
to allow the animal more freedom. The
horse, being freed from the bride, turned
east and started toward the railroad
Mrs Smith threw her arms around the
horses neck and tried to stop it, but, in
stead of stopping, the horse started to
run She clung to the animals neck TOR
some distance, but finally lost her hold
and fell to the ground. and the buggy
ian over her. She was considerably
bruised, but not seriously hurt. She
was helped to Murdoch music store,
where she remained for some time.
Meanwhile the horse ran on, turning
the corner Just west of the railroad tracks.
Near Hollingshead's blacksmith shop
the buggy upset. tearing off the top and
breaking the fills" The horse ran
west, up the alley, and was finally cap
tured.
Mrs. Smith is gritty" Notwith-
standing her bruises, she drove home in
the evening.

More Lead.

Percy Scarf made another lead find
last Saturday. He was digging a well
on A. Lawellin's taam four and half
miles northwest of Garrett where he
discovered several pieces OF lead ore, He
brought them to Garnett. where they
were examined and pronounced of cx-
cellcnt quality.
This is not the first time lead has been
found IN that vicinity, but it is addt d
proof of the existence of lead there. In
fact, lead has been found in several To-
calities in Anderson county Some day
in the near future, the minerals OF this
section will be developed, along with
our gas and oil, and we will then enter
upon an era OF prosperity second to
no other community in the state.
Watch us grow.
