Preparing the Ground.

Wheat. like oats. needs a firm seed
bed. Corn ground which has been run
over twice with disk is an ideal seed
bed. 1t is fine and mellow on top and
firm beneath There is nothing to pre-
vent the capillary moisture from ris-
ing rapidly TO the loose top layer
where it is held just where the roots
need it. When wheat follows some
other small grain the ground is so hard
that. except in the case Of very loose
soils. the disk will have little effect on
it. Such ground must be plowed
Flowing for wheat does not need to be
very deep Many farmers practice
burning the stubble before plowing,
since in this way many insects and
weeds are destroyed. and the capil-
larry connection is restored quicker
Some humus is lost in this way. but
the advantages gained in many cases
make it more profitable to obtain the
needed humus in some other way.
The soil should be well disked and
narrowed after plOwing to make a
fine. compact seed bed With wheat

are obtained by the use of drill. In
loose or dry soils the press drill is a
big advantage. The wheels that fol
low pack the soil over the seed. This
brings the soil into closer contact with
the wheat grains. and they will alb
sorb moisture faster and begin to grow
sooner This quickness of starting is
Of much Importance In fall sown
wheat near the northern limit Of the
winter wheat belt, since there every
thing depends on the wheat making a
good growth before the ground freezes.
Earliness of seeding Is important for
the same reason. If you cannot get
your winter wheat in early-and by
early is meant the first half of Sep
tember-it is better to wait until
spring and SOW a spring variety.
The ground for spring wheat should
be prepared in much the same manner
as for oats. The rate Of seeding where
a drill is used should be five or six
pecks to the acre, with either spring
or winter varieties. When sown broad
cast about a peck more will be need
ed. If there is much smut present the
seed should be treated as outlined for
oat smut in article No. 4. The seed
should be famed and graded and test
ed for termination.
Rotation In Wheat Farming.
In the great spring wheat regions
the introduction of crop Of clover
,v,o,.v, tvro or fbrna vaars will material
ly increase the yield. The growing of
clover viii mean some live stock to
eat it, and the manure thus obtained
will still further increase the wheat
yields. The introduction Of some of
the other grain and forage crops will
equalize the demands upon the soil

per cent, or seven bushels to the acre,
in wheat following cultivated crops
over wheat grown continuously.
Dairying fits in very well with wheat
farming. especially in localities so far
north that corn cannot be successfully
grown as a grain crop. In such districts
the flint varieties can be raised for
silage and fodder. The wheat follow

scab and weeds and viii yield much
more. The cows will yield a good
profit for all the feed they consume,
and the work viii be more evenly dis
tributed throughout the year.
When wheat is grown to be sold to
the -four mills the price will depend
directly upon the quality. To get the
best quality wheat should not be cut
until 1t is fully ripe. 1t should not be
allowed to stand too long after 1t is
ripe or it win shell out badly. Wheat
should be well shocked and capped.

LANDSCAPE ART,

The Work 81 LIE Notre, EuroDe's Most
Famous Gardener,
Although lie Notre's life was a long
and a busy one, he could not possibly
have designed all the gardens with
which his name is HOW associated, more
or less correctly. The list Is an as
founding one. ranging as it does from
Aranjuez aud La Granja in Spain to
Wilhelmshohe and Oranienbourg in
Germany, from the villas Albani and
Pamphili in Rome to Hampton Court
and Kensington gardens in England
But, directly or indirectly, he is re-
sponsible for the spirit Of all these de-
signs. as he created a school of out
door art, which, modified and adapted
to suit various conditions and climates,
spread over the civilized world and Is
the foundation Of all the landscape art
Of today. 1t was he who first released
gardens from their medieval swad-
ding clothes, widened their narrow
borders. did away with their childish
decorations Of Enthusiastically clipped
trees and made them instead dignified
parts Of a splendid whole. To some
people his gardens do not now seem at
tractive on account Of what is called
their severity and GOODNESS, but we
must remember that they were entirely
appropriate to the places for which
they were designed and perfectly fitted
for their uses and are consequently ar
tistically admirable.-Beatrix Jones in
Scribner's.

Board Now Lavish in Outlay
For Bridges and for the
Highways.
AN INSPECTION IS MADE
NEW BRIDGES IN THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE COUNTY ARE
BADLY NEEDED BECAUSE OF
MANY WASHOUTS.

During the past week or so the coun-
ty commissioners have been inspect
ing the turnpikes and bridges of the
county. in anticipation of making a
recommendation for the repairs dur
ing the ensuing year. In the commits
sioners' estimates of the extent of i'm
provements necessary which will be
acted upon by the county council at its
meeting in September. they have asked
for $25.OW for bridge repairs and
new bridge, and 5000 for the care OF
the roads.
The spirit of the commissioners In
preparing their estimates has been
economy. Their estimate for the re-
pair and construction of bridges is
5000 short of what was appropriated
last year. The amount asked to be ap-
propriated for the upkeep of the turn
pixies is approximately the same.
Need New Bridges.
One of the commissioners stated to-
day that there were so many new
bridges which must be erected in the
northwest part Of the county and SO
many to be repaired that the board
would have to proceed with care. In
fact it is believed that some of the
bridge repairs will have to wait for
another year or SO. Many new bridges
are needed in the northwest part Of
the county because of washouts and
the deepening and widening of West
River ditch by dredging. last spring.
These bridges are absolutely neces-
sary.
In discussing the condition of the
turnpikes the commissioner stated that
the National road, owing to the hard
wear it was subjected to by reason OF
the number of automobiles travelling
over it would need a thorough over
hauling. There are a number of other
roads in the county which are in bad
condition. 1t is not the intention OF
the commissioners to practice econo-
my to such an extent the turnpikes
will be allowed to wear completely
out and thus be the cause of much
greater expense to the county when
they are repaired.

City Attorney T. ]. Study stated
before a special meeting of the board
OF works this morning that this aues.
ton had been bothering him for some
time and just at present it would be a
hard matter to decide on whom the
blame would be attached. In consid-
Grafton Of this fact and to free the city
from any and all responsibility in
event of the catastrophy, Mr.. Study
strongly urged that the board employ
thoroughly competent engineer to
go over the entire bridge and infinitely
inspect every detail with the view of
learning the stability of the structure.
The necessity of such action was EN-
phatically pointed out by Mr.. Study.
who advised that immediate steps be
taken in the matter
Is Severely Strained.
The heavy hauling Of freight cars
over the bridge and the large passen-
ger cars which daily traverse it are
subjecting 1t to a severe strain. it is
said. and its stability has become ques-
toned on numerous occasions. Dur
ing the course of the past few years
the bridge has had a strong tendency
to move toward the east, and at the
west end of the bridge a space of two
or three inches can be seen between
the floor and the street proper. The
abutments are not believed to be en-
tirely sound, either. and they will also
be examined by the engineer.
1t was stated that if the bridge col
lapsed now, even though the heavy
hauling of the big interurban COM
pany cars was directly responsible for
it, it is doubted very much whether the
city would not be responsible as the
bridge has not been examined at the
city's expenses. 1t was further point
ed out that the small expense incurred
in employing an expert engineer to go
over the entire situation and report
the result of his investigation to the
board, might be a great saving in the
end and possibly save the city from
many embarrassing damage suits.

cannot meet the demand at the differ

the things most needed for the care of

insane have to be kept In the county

OF its insane in order that the charges
might be taken from the county. He
believes that Wayne county's repre-

should pledge themselves to work for

heard similar expressions made by cit

since the county has the question be-

TIGER HUNTING.

LUfing the Fierce Animals ~ lD1.
tatin9 . Monkey.
To call q tiger the proceeding was a.
follows: The mikir. having first ascer-
tanned that q tiger was in the neighbor-
hood. would climb into 4 well branch
ed, leafy tree situated near where he
supposed the tiger to be. and after hid
ing himself among the branches as best
he could would commence to initiate
the chattering Of a monkey and break
and drop twigs in the way that mon
keys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
a bundle Of rags weighted so that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as If baby monkey had tum-
bled down from the tree. and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be the
supreme moment, for II q tiger were
near it would often spring out in the
hope Of swapping up such q dainty
morsel as young monkey. and then a
bullet from the gun Of the hidden mikir
might find it's billet in the tigers body.
By this means the mikir was said to
have killed a considerable number Of
tigers, and certainly the mans power
Of mimicry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature. the sound initiated be-
ing the cry Of q fawn, and as this cry
sometimes attracted tigers, too. it had
to be adopted with caution. because it
was used only in open grass land, from
which the caller would not have had
much chance to escape were q tiger
