MANURING FOR WHEAT.
Advantages of Commercial Fertilisers.
Good Way of Applying Animal Manure.
One of the advantages in nsing com
mercial fertilizers with wheat is that
they can be readily applied and worked
into the soil near the surface. They can
be sown broadcast either before or after
the seeding is done, as when the drill is
used with the fertilizing attachment it
can all be done at one time. Commer
cial fertilizers, if of a good quality, are
readily soluble and hence are available
for use by the growing plants. When
fresh, coarse stable manure is applied
only a small proportion is available at
once for the use of the plants. It must
rot and become soluble before it is in a
condition to be used, so that when im
mediate insults are desired commercial
manures will give the quickest returns,
according to a Missouri correspondent,
who writes as follows to The Prairie
Farmer:
When animal manure is thoroughly
rotted and fined and care is taken to in
corporate thoroughly with the soil, not
only better, but more immediate, results
will be secured than if applied fresh. A
good way of applying animal manure is
by plowing the ground thoroughly in
good season, and then by applying
broadcast over the surface, taking care to
scatter as evenly as possible.
Ordinarily, the work of preparing the
soil in a suitable condition for the seed
will work it sufficiently into the surface.
Wheat requires a considerable amount
of nitrogen, and, as a rule, any fertilizer
that contains a good per cent, of this
essential element of plant food can be
applied with benefit to wheat.
Salt is used to a considerable extent
with wheat, but this is not in itself a
fertilizer, but when applied and worked
into the soil it has the effect of making
available plant food already in it. In
almost any soil in which seed will ger
minate and plants make a start to grow
there is always more or less plant food
that is latent and which needs some ac
tion in order to become available, and
applying salt aids materially in this pro
cess. and for this reason can in many
cases be applied with benefit.
Improved Methods in Corn Culture.
The old fashioned idea was to run the
harrow, or, more commonly, the small
plow, through the corn rows as long as
the way remained unobstructed, and by
some persons this was done almost up to
the roasting ear stage, even when it was
not' required for the destruction of
weeds. “Very often after such plow-
ings on a hot day,” writes a World cor
respondent: “1 have seen the blades
curl and wilt from having their supply
of moisture interfered with by the cut-
Advlce on This Important Subject Given
to Farmers by an Ohioan.
Mr. D. F. Wise, of Ohio, in his in
structive work on tile draining for farm
ers, gives the following advice: “We
should first look up the true line of the
main drain, measure it and level it to
have it all correctly proved the best line
and the least expensive A little time
spent in overlooking the situation is
never lost. We next should remember
to grade our di tches. The first thing we
do is to cut the soil away with a
short spade; it is much easier done by
scooping out the loose dirt and seeing
that the water all flows freely Then
you can make your drain of an exact
depth. Next remember to lay your tile
of the same size first, and take the
shrunken ones of that size and lay them
back and use them up the drain where
you want smaller tile, as to lay three
inch tile, when you have one burned
very hard that is only two and a half
inches you would reduce your three inch
tile to two and a half by using the
shrunken tile.
“Lay all the tile as close as possible.
Leave no uncovered cracks. Leave no
holes in bottom of drain. Remember
that tile laid in straight lines works best.
Remember that sinks or miry swamps
or quicksands must have long narrow
boards that are good and solid laid in
the bottom before tile is laid in any soft
mud bottomed ditches. Tile should be
more than one foot in length. In drain
ing a swamp all soft and miry places
must be tiled to save the crop and beasts.
Don’t use straw, hay or cornstalks to
cover tile. They will dam the water
from the tile. Cover your tile with the
surface soil and then with bottom soil.
Remember to use plenty of bricks or
broken tile to mark your drains. Broken
tile of good quality can often be had for
hauling from the tile kiln. Mark deep
and well, as good marking will make
you a good drain plot, one to last forever.
Remember, too, that to have the best
drainage your tile must be laid perfectly
and have ventilation or air at the upper
end to flow freely. Remem ber to have
the best flow you must have good smooth
tile inside, though some rough material
may sometimes be stronger than the
smooth is. If you lay rough tile, clean
the inside. But if you can get good
glazed tile they are the best.”
Karly versus (.ate Pullets.
“There is something remarkable about
those 1st of June hatched chicks not
maturing sooner. One would say that
if chicks hatched in April could be got
to laying by Oct. 1, certainly 1st of June
chicks should be matured in November,
or by Dec. 1, but they won’t Just so
sure as the cold weather catches them
in an immature state, just so sure they
will remain immature. The cold seems
to task all their vitality, and they have
nothing left for growth. The chicks
seem to be stunted, checked, by the
cold.” The foregoing is from Farm
Poultry, and expresses a current im
pression which a writer with several
years' experience questions as follows in
The Farm Journal:
What we think we have learned is
this: That early pullets will attain a
larger size and more perfect develop
ment than late ones, and are better for
use early in the following season for
breeding stock, but that for laying pur-
itcbed pullets come

The New York Evening Post says:
“It is to be remarked lhat the present
revival ol activity in Wall street dates
from the very day on which President
Harrison said at Albany that he felt
himself pledged to keep all the differ
ent kinds of money in the country of
equal value with each other. Nor
can there be any doubt that the Pres
ident speech was the cause of the
turning tide.”
There is no doubt that there has
been serious alarm in the financial
circles over the proposed money
tinkering by congress. The demand
for free silver and the ultimatum for
government loans and crop-subsidies
has spread panic among the banks
and forced a new condition to all
time Inaos that the debt shall be paid
in gold. Agitation has made money
very tight, and the extravagant de
mands of Alliance leaders have de
feated the very object for which the
people are workihg, viz.: a more plen
tiful and more elastic currency. The
Ocala schedule has, by its overreach
ing demands, brought about a tight
and ironclad tnoney market. The
farmers are beginning to feel the evil
effects of what their own ill-advised
leaders have accomplished. They
have demoralized business, routed
confidence and made things worse
than ever. Even the assurance of the
Piesident that he proposes to keep
money at par will not put matters
permanently to rights, if this ill-or
dered agitation goes on. The farmers
and the people of the South will nev
er secure relief on the lines laid down
at Ocala or under the auspices of men
who are prancing about on the stump,
calling for “the sub-treasury or some
thing better.”
