WHEAT PER ACRE. The Best Grasses, Those Naturally Adapted to the Boll-Tho Odor of Wends Detected In Milk Low tirade Fertilisers, Tho old way of picking apples in a sack is not tho liest. A basket is preferable, and a hook of some kind should ho fnst ened to the handle by u stout cord. The hook would ullow the basket to be hung on limb often, giving tho picker the use of both hands. . An acre of land will produce five or six times as many strawberries, in bushels, as in wheat, and tho prices usually ob tained for strawberries are more than three times as much as for wheat. One Here of strawberries will bring as much profit as fifteen Hcresof wheat, whilu the cost of growing tho strawberries is pro portionately but little more than that of growing the wheat. Tho tatter the nropiirution of the soil the less seed will lie required. Many failures in the seed are not duo so much to the vitality in the seed us to the un favorable condition of the ground. It is always a matter of chance germination when seed is brcud-caHted and left to hn covered by the washing of the rain, and tho harder ami firmer the seed-lied the greater the difficulty in securing a crop from the seed. Pulverize the soil, har row it down a flue as poesi ble and then brush the seed in. The tast grasses are flow naturally adapted to the soil. In America alxiut one dozen varieties an made sjiecialtica, while in England the farmers select from over one hundred. A firm sod of native grass should never lie turned under to make room for some other kind until the new grass has Is-en tested on the farm. Soils vary, and grass that may thrive on one (arm mav fail on another. The rock on which many who enter the ranks as breeders of good stock split is that of stinted feeding, says Professor Cook, of the Michigan Ajrricultural Col lego. The Shropshire,. Pereheron, and Shorthorn owe their excellence to tho fact that they can make good paying use of a large amount of food. Unless they li.ivii l...

Shorthorn or Hereford. Tbe breeder's! motto should ta: "Keep ull those ani mals in a thrifty, growing condition from first to last." Unless we intend and will feed lils-rally we had tatter keep the scrub. It was brought up to enjoy rough ing it. The intrinsic value of pure dissolved liones is frequently made npiurcnt as an ingredient in low grade fertilizers. A few hundred pounds are introduced in a for mula mainly coniioscd of cheap mate rials, from the use of which surprisingly good but very transitory results follow. It is a leaven of dissolved bones which has quickened the Hums and given it the j oniy vitality reany possesseii. impun-1 lien anil loruiu maucrs iikiii in comr aim , iix;. weight to dissolved Imnes cannot taifijllo mixed with them lioyond the chances of j discovery any tatter than they could with bone meal. iHrcptinu can no more taoHirtually practiced with the partially acidulated Ixme than with the raw Imiiio. The sulphuric acid employed in dis solving has simply houoy-conitad the particles in such a state that the natural action of the soil und the elements can convert them immediately into plant food. Bearing these facts well in mind, and having the guarantee of the manu facturer that the article is made of raw tanes, that pore sulphuric; acid is em ployed in dissolving; that it in riot made wholly or in part of foreign mutter, it is tatter for farmers to use strictly pure dis solved bones than to invest the same amount of money in substances contain ing less phosphoric acid. It is unques tionably tho better s)licy to select a fer tilizer that is ready for immediate action and one sure to give a two-told quicker return, with an almost equal reserve store of rich ingredients for the benefit of grass and hay crops. The Rural is asked1 if it will pay to arrange pipes that will. carry water from a tank filled - with water by a wind mill, so as to supply water for small fruits. The same correspondent also asks if the pines lijtyht not run under ground with ml vantaxe. We are unable' to answer the questions, and wo doubt ii unylKidy can answer them definitely. Even if some such, system worked well with one man and we believe thero is one fruit grower who has udopted some such system of irrigationlie could hardly say whether it would pay another man or not. It is certainly very desira ble to have water for both fruit and veg etables. Not to havo it is to lose tho crop in some cases. To have it artificial ly supplied is to save tho crop very often. We think there is no way lor anybody to settle the question of profit, but to sit down and give the subject his own close study. In regard to furnishing the water from nipes buried in the ground, there would unquestionably be some advan tage over supplying it to the surface. In deed, it is the proper way to do it. It wonld require less wafer and the soil would not be iu danger of baking for in stance. 'In that case, however, thero would need.be a subsoil, of course, of such character as would prevent the water from going down to China as fast as it came from the pipes. Ujkju a small sealo such irrigation might perhaps be practiced to advantage, but when it comes to a largo scale wo do not know, and if it can be mado practical for fruit and vegetables on a large scale, then why not defy drouth by extending the system to all crops? It is an interesting sub ject, but its treatment must be largely theoretical at present, "It seems to rue," remarked one of our citizens the other day, "that physicians uro allowed extraordinary lieenso in the manner in which they jugglo with the welfare of their patients." "Now hero is Dr. who was attend ing Mr.- up to the time of his death, and if lie treated hint for one thing he treated him for a dozen different disor ders. First tho doctor said pneumonia was the trouble j then it was constmii tiou. Then the patient wits dosed for heart trouble, mid ho on until just before he died It was itHccrtiiiimd that disease of the kidneys was the real trouble, and that which had linen at first treated us pneu monia, consumption, heart disease, etc., werobtittho symptoms of kidney dis ease. "Hut then it was too late, "This is only one case in a hundred, and I tun beginning to lose faith in the doctors altogether. In fact I liavn't had nnv need for their services since 1 beiran to keep Warner's Sale ('uro in mv house, n little over three years ago. W'henever I feel a little out of sorts I take a few doses of it, confident that the source of all disease is iu the kidneys, which I know Warner's Safe (lure will keep in good order, and will eradicate any disease that mav be lurking there. Had Mr. followed a similar course, I have riodouht that he would be alive to-dnv; but of course ull people don't think ulfke. "One tiling is certain, however, and that is the doctors are allowed a little too much freedom iu the wav they have of pretending to know thai which they really know nothing iilxiut. If they don't know what is the real trouble with the patient, they should admit it anil not go on ami exm-rimeiit ut the cost of the patient's life." PORTLAND MARKET.
