Fertilizer for Wheat.

In some parts of the East farmers are
giving up wheat growing. Many OF them
think it useless to try and compete with
the newer and richer soils of the West.
Many argue that wheat growing is proita-
BILE only on new and rich soil MIR, G. x.
Mckenzie Of Westfield New Brunswick,
undertook to see if by the use of chemical
fertilizers on poor soil he could not COM
pete with Western grain fields
He selected piece of dark loan, slight
" gravelly soil which had had no fertilizer
for ten years 1t had been III grass, and
farmers can readily understand its poor
condition for grain. In order to test the
soil. Mr. Mckenzie used nothing on one
part Of the field. On another part he used
Thomas Phosphate to supply phosphorIc
acid and nitrate Of soda to supply nitrogen.
On another part he used the phosphate
and the nitrate and in addition, murlate
of potash The object Of this was to see
which element was the key to wheat
crop on that soil.
Potash gave the yield. Tie answer was
clear, as the following figures show:
Yield Of Increase
Plot neg gr adPe f eysf nq
> 500 lbs. Thomas Phosphate x n, ,sbu
: 1870 lbs. Nitrate of Soda - ~
1900 lbs. Thomas Phosphate
loD lbs. Nitrate OF Soda 40 bu. 30 bu
{ 100 lbs. Muriate of Potash
The natural soil gave only 10 bushels.
The phosphate and the nitrate brought
the yield to % bushels, but when the
potash was added there was an increased
yield OF IS bushels per acre. It is evident
that this increase was directly due to the
potash. and When we compare the cost OF
the potash with the price received for 10
bushels of wheat we see that few other
farm investments could have paid 50 well.
Consider the price Of wheat and straw or
an Eastern farm and it is plain that no
Western wheat field can compare acre for
acre with such u yield as 80 bushels. The
main reason why some Eastern farmers
say that wheat will not pay IS because the.
use The wrong kind Of fertilizer. They
use smell Of nitrogen a peck Of phos-
phoric acid and pinch Of potash No
wonder their WELD is poor Mr.. McKen-
zies experiment. shows why The wheat
crop demands potash If the oil will rot
supply it the fertilizer must do so.

TRAILING PLANTS.

All plants which trail on the ground
or grow sideways, like verbenas,
phlox, and ivy-leafed geraniums, must
be trained or tied down to fill the
more open spaces they are expected
to cover. This operation is called
''pegging down" by the professional,
because in former days the trailing
was effected by little forked pegs;
but there are many ways Of pegging
without the use of pegs at all; and
one of the simplest which I have seen
a gardener perform with verbenas is
to take hold of a flower truss in bud,
make a hole with a stick, or with
two forefngers, and poke the truss
down in it, The shoot is then held
in the right position at once, and
without knowing how the thing was
done, no one could make out that
the shoot did not grow naturally in
that position from the first.
Those who would prefer to adopt
more modern methods must purchase
the pins now sold for the purpose

PRUNING TREES AT SETTING.
Some interesting information rela-
tive to the different methods of prun-
ing peach trees at time OF setting are
given in bulletin on Suggestions on
the Renewal Of the Peach Industry in
New Jersey" by G. T. Warren. Our
illustration is made from a photo
graph reproduced in this bulletin.
Prof. Warren points out that all
pruning before setting can be done
most rapidly before the trees are set
in the ground. The trees may be
pruned, have borers removed and be
dipped in lime, sulphur and salt and
then heeled in again to set for time
Of planting.
In order to see what effect this
system of pruning might have on the
growth of trees, it is reported that
eighty Mountain Rose trees were di-
vided into four lots. Different meth
DDS of pruning were as follows:

Lot 2 were pruned so that about
five stubs we're left, each about one
inch long so that there was one bud
on each side branch
Lot 8 were pruned so that five
stubs were left, each stub being about
three inches long.

third of the top of each tree was

ing when Thomas Shaw, the councils ap-
pointee, secured from Judge Kennedy an
alternative writ of mandamus on city
Engineer Rosewater commanding him to

The writ is returnRble at 10 o'clock Satur-

determined the court can issue a positive
order either enjoining Shaw from interfer-
ing with the Office or commanding Mr..

epidemic in lower animals) especially in
dogs. many authentic cases having been
recently reported, and In view Of the fact
that number of cases Of the same dis
ease occurring in man in our city we're also
reported, one the present year, and all of
which can be traced to infection from
Tabetic dogs, and also In view of the fact
that there exists in the minds Of certain
individuals IMMERSED in recent scientific
knowledge upon the subject, a belief that
no such disease exists, this society, without
dissenting voice, wishes to go on record
Resolved, That the Omaha Douglas
County Medical society most heartily en-
dOrses the action Of Mayor Dahlman In his
efforts to have all dogs muZZled or con-
fined and that all such animals not muZ-
zled confined, should be destroyed at
once by an officer Of the law and that
without recourse.
Resolved. That a copy OF these resolu-
tons be sent TO the mayor, to the local
press and also copy be spread upon the
minutes Of this society.
