plant does not reach its proper
development when thc seed is
own too tiiick. Theie are as
many heads from one bushel of
.seed to the acre as from two bush
els. When a grain of wheat is
put into the ground anal allowed
ample room, the young plant sends
out branches which strike into the
ground, and from them numerous
.stalks grow up, each producing
more, grain in the head than are
;ver found when the single

produce only a single stalk.

details, he comes to the conclusion
that tlje grains of wheat should be
planted nine inches apart, and that
this system would double the yield
per acre. Should it be ftmud true,
a machine can easily be arranged j
to distribute the seed in the proper
quantity. The sowing should be
done early enough to give the
plant a chance to send out its
branches and rootlets in the way
indicated above. An experiment
-might be tried with hand planting
by any farmer who desires to test
the system. Measure a plot of
ground 33 feet each way; it will
contain 1,0S'J square feet, or jst
one-fortieth of an acre. Mark it
into divisions nine inches square,
of which thre will be 1,030, or 44
to each side. Then put in the
J,930 grain of wheat, and if the
crop amounts to one bushel r
more (40 bushels or upward to the
acre) Major Hallett's theory will
be justified. WIk will try the ex
periment? Southerners have discovered
that smooth, strong and pliable
parchment can be manufactured
from the palmetto of Florida, and
other southern states. The parch
ment can be washed, rubbed and
handled just like cloth, and the
writing will not be effaced. It
can be cheaply manufactured, and.
is likely to come into general use
for conveyances, land office re
- ceipts. etc. As much as 00 per
cent of the weight of pulmot'o cttn
-be utilized in paper making.

A timely interest is given, by
the death of the author, to the new
edition of her masterpiece, Roum
la, just issued by the American
Book texohange. New York. It
shows her work at the best and
strongest, and at the same time
gives the reader the oppoitmiity to
acquire a lasting familiarity with
the scenes of inedheval Italy. It
is one of. the few really gteat his
torical novels of the world. It is
issued in Imudv and beautiful form
extra cloth bindinr, simple but
rare eligaucc and taste in design,
and like the other issues of the
literary revolution its cost is al
most nominal, viz. m cents. It is
oik f a series intended to form a
libra iy of elastic fiction, which will
include cne representative and
dmraeteristio work of each of the
grt authors wlw have won last
ing fame in the realm of fiction.
IJl'e is too short and too fiiH of
