Ceuroe Per the Parmer to Puraua When Damage la Entanalve. neKrta from different aourcea indi cate that there la aome winter killing of winter wheat lu many eectlone of Kentucky, Tenneaare, Illlnola, Indiana, Ohio, Mlaeourl, Oklahoma, Kanaaa and Teiaa, although whether the extent of tbe damage la more than tbe average I uncertain. Where there ha been winter kllllug the qneatlon arlae aa to the let courae for the farmer to puraue. The follow ing procedure la recommended by tbe cereal apeclallata of the I'nlted Statea deportment of agriculture: If the crop la not more than half kill ed It may be ndvlauhte to let It grow and depend upou natural atoollng or tillering of the remaining plante to produce a crop. Even tlclda In which majority of tho plnula have been kill ed tuny give a proiltable yield. In otb er field tho aland inny be ao thin that It la not udvtaable lo leond upon tbe few aurvlvlug plant" for a crop, while lu atlll otber caca all the planta may be killed. Tho giutttlon la, then, wheth er or not to aow aprlng wheat either with or without plowing. If the farm er la In a locality where be knows aprlng wheat la aouietlmea grown and be cao get good aeed of an adapted variety It may be well for blm to aow tbla. The aeed can be aown aoinetluiea In the winter wheat field without plow ing, thua adding to the planta of winter wheat that remain. However, if the wluter wheat la almoat or entirely kill ed the laud ahould be at leaat dlaked or perbapa plowed before ami lug. Heeding of aprlng wbeat at all la rev. ommended only for tbe northern part of the winter wheat belt Therefore aprlng wheat ahould not be eown in Mlaaourl, Kentucky, Tennveeee, Weat Virginia or Maryland, or anywhere farther aoutb, and paobably not lu any portion of Illlnola, Indiana, Ohio or Pennaylvaula. Other crnpe probably would be hotter In tbeae at a lea. Where whiter wheat la killed and aprlng wheat aeedlng la not advlanblo corn would uminll.v be the crop to be planted, though aoy beana. ixitatoca or audi email gniln crop aa hurley or ont may be given preference, deietid lug inn tbe lovilly 11ml 011 the poxl lilllly of procuring good reed nud the pi'oporlloiuil ret 11 111 pel' ni'ie Hint limy he obtained by imliig tlicxe eVopx.

The Paaaage ef Beripture Upon Which the'chlef laeoutlve Preoeee Hie Llpe le Intlrely a Matter ef Chanoe The Bible After the Ceremony. f Tbe president before be entera on tbe elocution of bla office takee an oatb or affirmation that be "will faith fully eiecute tbe ofllre of prealdent of the Culled rliatee and will, to tbe beet of my ability, preaerye, protect and defend tbe cooatitutlou of tbe United Statea," and tbla oatb la ueually orat ed or conllrmed by the kbwlng of tbe Bible. Tbe klaaing of tbe Illble aa part of the Inaugural ceremony la perbapa fol lowing a very ancleut cuatom. Tbe EgyptUna were required to kUa tbe roll on wblcb tbe commando of Joaeph were written. Tbe cuatom reulree that Immediate ly after tbe prealdent elect baa taken tbe oatb, wltb band on tbe Bible; tbe clerk of tbe United Btatea aupreme court aball throw open tbe book, and tbe Incoming chief maglatrate aball Im plant klea on one of lie open page. Doubting Tbomaeee bare alway thought that there waa no element of chance In tbla iierformance and that tbe paaaage of Hcripture la aiwaya carefully aelected ui advance, and tbe book la held by tbe clerk of tbe court In poaltlon ao that tbe Incoming cblef wtll klea tbe paaaage that It la Intend ed be aball kUa, but tbla auppoaltion I entirely wrong. Jamea D. Maber, clerk of tbe au preme court, a Id tbut tbe opening of tbe book la entirety "baphatard" and that no man on earth haa the "lightest Intimation In advance regarding tbe paaaage of Hcrlpture that will be tbu brought Into notice. Uaually tho llldle that la uaed In ad nilmVu-riug tbe oatb I bought by tbe clerk of the aupreme court and paid for out of IiIh pocket and 1 a imull Oxford edition coating f 10 to f 13.

Tba book waa taken from the White Uouse and In a few year found It way to the etnll of a bookseller lu 8a u Fran cisco, How It got there haa never beeu known, nor la It likely it ever will be. A few years ago it waa of fered for wile at a very high price. Cheater A. Arthur took the oalb of ofllro just after midnight at bla borne In New York city Sept. SO. 1881.

Tbe Bible upon which be took tbe oatb In 1893, eight year biter when be became president the aecond time, waa one preaented by hi beau tiful wife, and aba became It poa eeaaor. When Beujainui Harrison waa made prealdent March 4. 18A0, tbe Bible used waa one that bla wife bad given blm on tbe day of their marriage In Ox ford. O., where Prealdent Harrison lent hi school dnya. Tbe Harrison Bible is owned by Sir. James It. Mc Kee, tbe daughter of ei-Pnuldent Har rlsou. President McKluley used a Illble that bad been presented to blm by tbe negro bbibopa of the country. It wo the biggest Bible ever seen at tut clerk's office, aud Clerk McKlnney lu relutlng tbe Incident wild: "Tbe day before the Inauguration one of tbe I'lahoim called ut my office with tbe Illble. It waa a huge utTalr of the type known aa family Bible. It rested In an ornate box lined with purple vel vet and ornamented wltb gold. The box waa fuvtened by lock and key.
