BETTER WHEAT GROWTH.

Ii is well known fact that ground

Some years ago one OF the repre-
sentatives from the Colorado Asricul-
tural college was visiting an up to date
farmer in the country, and the farmer
showed him field of wheat which H.
lustrated this narrowing in a remarka-
BILE manner, says the Fam Progress.
A storm had passed over that sectdoA
Of the country. and about one and one
half inches Of rain had fallen. 1t had
been n dashing shower and had pack
ed the surface of the ground consid- I
erably. The grain was from four to
six inches high, and the farmer had
been advised to harrow the field b pro
vent evaporation. He sent his hired
man to do the work, who hitchsd ON
to the harrow and dragged It diagonal
ly across the field Of wheat and then
around the outside Of the neld some
five or six times. He then became dis
gusted with the work because Il ap-
peared that he was dragging out 20
much grain and reported the fact to
the farmer. who ordered the work dis

By the time the grain had headed he

be plainly seen. The place whsrs It
had been dragged diagonally across the
field produced grain at least eight or ten
inches higher than that on either side
which had not been narrowed, and
along the edges of the field the grain,
was in like condition. The grain On
that portion Of the field that had not
been touched by the harrow was not
to be compared with the narrowed
grain either in appearance, size of
plants or heads Of grain.

This mild rebuke was to stir them up

Repairing a Broken oiIstens,

A broken Oilstone can be repaired
and made as good as new. Warm the
pieces by heating them on the top Of
stove or gas heater, with a piece Of
heavy sheet metal placed on 1t 30 a. to
protect the stone from the direct heat
OF the flame. The heating should be
done somewhat slowly or the stone
will crack.
When the stone is warm wipe OF
the oil which the heat has driven out
and apply couple Of coats Of shsllac
to the broken ends. When the shellao
is thoroughly dry warm the stone
again to melt the shellac and clamp
the pieces together. After cooling the
pieces will be found firmly stuck to-
gether.-Popular Mechanics.

PROCESS OF WRITING.
Like Laying Track, Along Which Az.
thor Takes the Reader.

The process Of writing consists of
laying track Of words. along which
the author conducts the reader with
more or less success. If the words are
put together neatly and skillfully the
reader glides along without jolt or jar.
and II. the elevations and depressions
are arranged with care, SO that ,nonot-
ony may he avoided. the pleasure Of the
trip is still further increased.
Many writer's revel in "apt allitera-
tion's artful aid" and take an unfair
advantage Of the reader by ceaseiess
syllabication promiscuously and perni-
ciously pandering, with reckless ro-
domOntade to surfeited senses.
Others adopt a rugged, uneven, jolt-
Ing method. placing their words in
hard. Jagged. staccato rows, hurting
their meaning at you in Irritating cres-
cendos, humping you up and down.
making hard edges which jar your ear
and rasp your consciousness discord-
antly, rubbing you crosswise.
And Others still, with stately pomp,
firmly welded to well balanced peri
DDS. march with rhythmic step along
their formal path No frivolity de-
ters them. no joyous and inconsequen-
tial lightness disturbs them, no folly
mars their posture. but with dignified
carriage. their banners flying in the
sun. they journey onward, the distant
horizon reverberating to their trium-
phal progress.
Then We have the n,incing, delicate
ly constructive writer, who deals in
mosaics. A feminine little air of pre-
cision is his pervading essence. Caper-
ing nimbly TO the dulcet phrase. lie
never descends below his slirill treble,
but scatters his nice little refinements
about him like lace adorned bride.
In the meantime the unhappy reader
asks for nothing better than not to
know that the writer has style.
This does not mean that the style is
unimportant. 1t means only that the
reader is primarily interested in what
the writer has to show him. and the
writer's style may be considered per-
feet when it never obtrudes itself on
the readers attention.

FEWER DELEGATES

Representative Burleson of Texas In
bringing up the question OF IL new plan
of representation in future national
conventions said his object was to cut
down the size to which these cOnven
tions have grown. He said that he
felt this change would cOnduce to an
increased party interest in the congress
sional fights in states. with view to
holding or obtaining stronger represen-
tation In the national conventions.
According to the Burleson plan, there
would he one delegate from each con-
gressional district, but districts repre-
sented In congress by Democrat
would be entitled to an additional dele
gate or two delegates to Il Democratic
congressional district. If state is
represented in the senate by two Dem
Ocratic senators it would have four
delegates at large; If by one Democrat
and one Republican, 1t would have
three at large, and If represented by
two Republicans only two delegates at
large. The representation for a ter
ritory would be the same as for state
