''he following tiro extracts from the
bulletins of the Clemson college ox
perinents with w.heat. Thesoe will be

other articles on the same line:
Wheat delights in comtparatively
stiff soil, clay loam rankintg first in
adaptation, sandy 1o-11n -econld and
sandy soils last. Thi at tor, however,
may be prolitably cut1 ivated in wheat
if liberally supplied with humos and
proporly supplliod w itlh plant food.
Wheat succeeds bestu.pon soils which
hav previously been cultivated in
someo hoed crop. Proviou troatmnent
which rendered Ihit soil very porous is
not favorable to wheat. Upon light
soils the roller shoilt bo used after
seeding and again early in the spring,
just before the plants put for the seed,
stalks.
In southern climates wheat, should
not be sown not il cool weather, sine
it will not germinatn successfully at
a high temperature. Early sown
wheat is also liable to be attacked by
the Hessian fly. It is well, therefore,
to defer sowing until a killing frost
occul rs.
Another danger to which very early
sown wheat is liable is the bursting
of thestoms by a spring frost occuring
after the stems have jointed. on the
other hand very late sowing increases
the risk of winter killing if severe
freezing occurs before tile plants tare
securely rooted. Late sown wheat and
late varieties incur the risk of injury
from very warm weather acconpanied
with moisture, causing conditions fa
vorable to the production of rust,
while if the weather is very hot and
dry bleaching or premature riponing
occurs.
The depth to which the seed may
be covered depends somewhat on the
character of the soil and especially
upon the porosity and consequent
facilities for aeration. Experiments,
however, conducted to determine the
best depth, showed that the per
centage of grains that vogetated in a
fertile sandy loam varied but little in
seed covered from a half inch to three
inches in depth. The number which
vegetated at a depth greater than
three inches diminished suddenly and
rapidly to six inches, at which the
few which vegetated at all were en
feebled by the obstacles which they
had overcome.
The quanity of seed to he sown per
acre depends upon tile size of the
grains, and consequently the number
per bushel, and upon tihe fertility of
the soil. The p)lants will tiller more
upon fertile than upon that less fer
tile. 'The qjuantity of Seed varies
from three to live poceks per ace.
Seed may b)e econimized b)y tihe use
of the wheat drill, which deposits
thoem at a uniform rate amnd dp)t.h, and
consequently a largar percentage of
those sownl vegetate than is sownl
broadcast. Seven varieties su pposed(
to be best adapted to this section of
,the South were sown Nov. 23, 1897, on
ono-half acre plots. These plots were
located oni rather high bottom land.
The soil is sandy loam underlaid
with clay. Corn, with cow peas sown
broadcast at last plowing, had been
growvn on the landl the year before.
Tihe cow peas mnado considerable
growth before frost and tile vines were
plowed under wvhen prepairing for
wheat. Th'ie grounrd was thoroughly
plowed with a two-hiorse breaking
plow and pulverised wvit.h a cutaway
harrow before planting. Thue planlt
ing was done force feed hoe drill and
at the rate of six pecks j or acre.
No fertilizer was used.
The dry weather in the fall pre
vented the proper development of
tile plants and a continued drouith
in the spring rip)oned some of the
varieties prematurely. All the va
rioties suffered from rust upon the
blades.
The yields given holow for tihe
year 1893 Were obtained on upland
soil. The ground1 had been in oats
the year before. Thme soil is clay
loam of more than the average fer
tility, underlauid with red clay.
The following is a description of
Ithe varieties:

Experiments in 1892 indicated that
wheat not harrowed in the spring
yielded better than that harrowed at
that seasont.
Stiff rod land was found to re
sp)on(1 moro generously to nitrate of
soda than the loo..o gray soil. On
the latter cotton sood brought the
most favorable results and did better
than cotton sed0( mIatl. As a spring
dressing on gray soil 1((0 pounds of
cotton soed leail gave the samo
yield as 80 pounds of nitrate of
soda.
A (OOl) ('11CAGO ST ORY.
Polico 'Oper,ator" ('renuunal,ly E!ectre)
Attacked atnd1 liadly ltitlen by 'Mueak
RaIs."
(News and Cousier.)
Chicago, Oct. 30.-Blooding from
a score of wounds, J. J. Goraghty, a
police operator in South C'nicago,
today reached his home and told a
strango story of an attack 0on himself
and1 dog by a !ordo of muskrats ini
the swampflh along the Calumoiiit rivo.
Gioraghty olntered1 the swampsj) this
muorningi early to hunit for rood birds5.
His dog, a magniiicent Glordon sotter,
alccomp)aniedl him. Shortly aifter noon1
ho started homeward. Suddenly the
furious barking of the (log st,artled
himi and lio ran forward to find the
animal litorally covered1 wit h mus11k
rats, who were lighting desperately,
biting arnd squealing like mad. They
nlippe(d at tbe dog's es and canght
his tongue in their sharp teeth. H-o
seemed almost helplless and Goeraghity
firedi his shotgun at the little army
of rodents, which came scampering to
the scone, hoping to scare the ones5
which woero fast killing his dog. lHe
mowed down a dozen rats without,
appreciably dlecronsing their num iber
Tho dog at last succumbed and the
reinforcements, numirborinrg a hundred
G3oraghts says, turned their attention
to himii.
TIhey climbe)d through my clothloe
in no time and hbit me savagely,"' saidl
the operator ini telling the story.
"And the only thing that savedh my
life was the arrival of a couple of
other hunters, who ran in with
clubs and beat the little fellows off.'
Goraghity's story is corroboratedl
by the huniters who resculed him.
Musk rats in portions of the swampl
are known to h)0 numierous and oc.
casionally belligorent, but this is said
to be It first instance where they
havo attacked a man in any force.
Webster's dictionary sarys that
there is only one species of muns]
rat, and( that tile animal is tihe siz,
of a cat. How could rats as big a
cats "climb through" a man'
clothes ?
