Tbe season is upon us for beginning find pushing along tbe preparation of laud for small grains, and Tbe South ern Cultivator, with its usual fore sight, gives a very pertinent talk upon thla,matter, as follows: There are many who thluk it In jure? land to tuiu It uptnheTun- sblne In August aud September. This Is a mistake. Sunshine does not in jure soil. Hut If we turn up tbe sub- soil wben it Is wet thou the sun bakes the lumps Into bard clods. In tbls way tbe plant food Is locked up or made insoluble. But If tbe clay Is dry and we follow the turn plow with roller and barrow then ths sunshine' belps the i"'fl It aids tbe circulation of air and water and helps to form tbe acids needed to dissolve tbe plant food. How deep shall we plow? Just as deep as your teams can pull tbe plows. What plows? A turned and a subsoil following. And you may have as many horses or mules or oxen to each plow as you please. We know a suc cessful farmer in Georgia who uses six strong oxen to each plow. There Is absolutely do danger In this direction. The only risk Is In plowing wben the soil or subsoil, one or both, Is too wet. When you have thus broken your land below tbe bardpan, then follow first wltb the roller. This will pulverize many clods and fasten the others so that they cannot easily dodge the har row teeth,"wblch Bhould follow the roller. It Is better to go over with these several times. Tbe Cutaway or Acme either will do. The use of first one and then the other Is better. This should be done some weeks before sowing the grain If you can. Wben this Is tbe plan, then run over wltb the harrow once every two weeks. Manuring should be done differently with different manures. Stable ma nures and other rotting vegetation should be spread on before the break ing. If commercial fertilizers "or cot tonseed, then It la beet to wait until yon are ready to sow the grain. Then get acid phosphate, 14 per cent goods; cottonseed meal, T to 8 per cent; muri ate of potash. 80 to 75 per cent; or German kalnH, 12 to 14 per cent Mix these as follows: Cottonseed meal, 400 pounds; acid phosphate, 1,200 pounds; muriate, 800 pounds, or kalnlt, 900 pounds.

Then sow one bushel per acre of Bed II ulsey unless yon have an aocll mat ed variety yen prefer. 'Plow this in wltb small plows so as to cover the seed about to S inches.

RESULT OF A SERIES OF TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS. . - Fof All Proaee a Tire Sis laekes la Width of Tread. Gives Ike Moat Satisfactory Remits Lensrth of 'Axles Should Be the Same. Six inches Is tbe width of the tire which will best serve the' farmer for a)l round purposes. This is the result of a long. series of accurate tests and experiments mode at tbe Missouri ag rlcultural experiment station. Tbe ex periments extended over a period of 90 months, In all kinds of weather and on all kinds of roads and farm lands. Director H. J. Waters, who conduct ed the experiments, made it his pur pose to arrive at the exact truth of the matter and had two wagons spe cially arranged for the tests. They were of exactly the same weight, one being fitted with ordinary one-half Inch tires,"the other with six Inch tires. Each was loaded with exactly 2,000 pounds. These wagons were hauled over all kinds of dirt and gravel roads, both wet and dry, and over various kinds of farm lands, tbe pull exerted by the horses being carefully measured by tbe help of a tractomcter. It was found that tbe same power needed to draw the narrow tired wagon wltb Its 2,000 pound load,. on a gravel road would bavc pulled a load of 2,482 pounds on the wide tired wagon. Tbe same power required to draw the 2,000 pound load on narrow tires over dirt and gravel roads when these were dry and bard was found sufficient to draw a 2,530 pound load on tbe wide tired wagon uudcr tbe same conditions, and it was shown that when tliesc roads were deep with mud, but partly dried at the surface by a few hours' sun, tho same power required to draw tbe 2,000 pound load over tbem on the narrow tires would pull a load of 3,200 pounds on tbe wide tires. Director Waters states that the con ditions under which the narrow tires offer an advantage over the wkle ones arc "unusual and of short duration" and that "through a majority of days In the year and at times when tbe dirt roads are most used and when their use Is most Imperative the broad tired wagon will pull materially lighter than tbe narrow tired wagon." He states that "a large number of tests on meadows, pastures, stubble land, corn ground and plowed ground In every condition, from dry, bard aud firm to very wet and soft, show with out a single exception a large differ ence In draft In favor of the broad tires. Tills difference ranged from IT to 120 per cent." As a result of all experiments conducted ho says, "It ap pears that six inches is the best width of tire for a combination farm and road wagon and that both axles should be tbe same length, so that tho front and hind wheels will run In tbe same track." Other experiments bave shown that much less power Is required to haul a loaded wagon if It be provided wltb wide tires. One of these tests was made by the officers of tbe United States department of agriculture at the Atlanta exposition In 1805. Two wagons, both weighing alike wltb their loads, were drawn over a wet piece of clay road, one wagon having two Inch tires, tbe other wltb four Inch tires and with tbe rear wheels farther apart than the front wheels, so as not to run in tho same track. It was found by the use of tbe tractometcr that twice as much pull was required to haul the two inch tired wagon as was required for the other. That part of tho road traversed by tbe narrow tlrod wagon was cut and rutted to a depth of sev eral Inches, while tbe tires of tbe oth er wagon bad rolled tbe road Into a smooth and hard surface. Experiments made at the agricultur al experiment station In L tab bave demonstrated that a 1 Inch tired wagon drew about 40 per cent heavier than one wltb three Inch tires ana weighing with Its load the same as tbe other. At tbe Oblo State universi ty it was shown that a wagon witn three inch tires and loaded with 4,480 pounds could easily be baoled by two horses over an ordinary am roaa in good condition and with a hard sur face, while with a narrow tire half as niuh Was a fall load for a doable team. The a-eneral use of wido- tires wookl do a great deal to maintain our roads in rood condition. Narrow tires neces sarily wear ruts and cut np the road surface. Water and narrow tires wort together to destroy streets and roads l all kinds, whether macadam, dirt or gravel. Tbe value of wide tires as road rott ers bas been strikingly Illustrated In Onondaga county, N. Y. Tbe Solvay process company of Geddea, In that county, were accustomed to hauling heavy loads of stone for 4 milt from tbe quarry. To test the wide tire theory they built several v r.j ns baring four Inch tires on the front wheels and sis tneb tires on the reor wheels sod with the rear axles longer than tbe others, so that the tracks of tbe rear wheels would Just lap outside of those made by tbe others. The result of tne nee of these wagons was to produce a bard, smooth, compact surface, ana the road, bavins been Oiled' so as to raise the middle or "crown" It, Is thor ngbly drained at tbe surface and al ways fit for use who tne u ln.rla.

Itoad Expert E. O. Harrison of the dciiartiiieiit of agriculture meets with souie humorous cxerlcnecs in tho course of bis travels over tho country building oxporlmcutnl roads aud spreading the doctrine of good roads. equently these are In the form of puzzling questlouu from quizzical farmers and often a statement which seems to offset his knowledge of road building. Some time ago lie was attending a meeting of farmers who were Invited by officials of ine League of American Wlieclmen to bear General Harrison and to lcaru from him wbat be pro posed to do with the experimental roads he wan to build In tho township. On this ocjsVion ono of tho audience spoke up uud akcd: '"How deep do you propose to build your road?" "Eight inches," was the reply. "Why, man, that won't be any use In this country! Why, sir, tbe frost goes eight feet Into the ground !" The rest of tbe farmers sktod In with tills remark and for some time bad a little f uu at the genernrs expense. Hut be Is always ready for such things, awl It did not take him khg to turn the tables on tbem. "Yon farmers have sheds on your premises, of course," be replied, "and you hove often In the spring of tho year, wben tho frost was coming out of tbe ground, been obliged to lay planks to enable you to reach those sheds without getting In tbe mud r They gave their assent to this state ment, and be continued: - "Wben yon reached tbe shod, yon found ths ground bant firm and dry under tbe roof, and yet tbe frost bad nearly an equal chance to get Into tbe ground there as It did outside." Tbe farmers saw the point "jTbe whole philosophy of rood bond ing,"' continued the general, "Is to build a roof oven your road through wbleb tbe water cannot penetrate, and tbe frost will amount to little. Now, gentlemen, what I propose to do Is to put a roof over your rood. Of course it Is Impracticable to place this' roof up so that you can drive under It, bat I shall place tbe roof on tbe road so that yon may drive over It." On another of tbe occasions wben tbe I A. W. gave blin a chance to ad dress a similar meeting be was asked tbe value of and tbe application of drains to dirt roods. "Have yon as a boy going barrfoot ed. as all boys should, noticed that by working a piece of moist ground with your feet yon create mud? Of coarse yoa have, and so bas every boy that ever lived. In that little act you have the secret of bad roads. Tbe moisture In tbe ground, aided by constant trav el, creates the mod boles and ruins them. Now take a sponge and soak it fun of water.

The IlesNinu fly is one of those pests of the wheatllelds about which a lit tle timely luformation seldom conies amiss, aud this the Ohio station has furnished In bulletin 107, receutly Is sued, In which are conclusions derived from tber own observation, In connec tion with that of other agriculturists in various sections of the country. Tbe Insect is a small, dark colored, two winged fly, about one-eighth of an nBSSf AN VLT, LAIIVA. STC Inch long and shaped much" like the wheat midge. The male Is more slender than tho female. Fig. 1, wblcb, when full of eggs, slightly resembles a diminutive mosquito moderately full of blood. The egg, Fig. 2a, Is about one-flftiotb of an Inch long, of a dull reddish color. The larva or maggot. Fig. 8b, is, wben first batched, of a nearly white color, with a tinge of red. but later It Is a very light green. clouded wltb whlto. The pupa, Fig. 3d, Is formed under cover of tho puparlum,' Fig. 2c, which last is known as tbe flaxseed" stago, on account of Its re semblance to a flaxseed In form and color. Tbe effect of the lnrvao, especially on young plants, does not appear to be quite generally understood: Tbe sec ond cut represents an Infested plant fresh from the field, drawn from na ture. The plant bad been attacked soon after its appearance auove ground and bad not tillered The leaves under those conditions aro broader, darker green, more vertical and bunchy. Tho youngest leaf on a healthy plant as It unfolds and pushes upward is of a tubular form and spindle shaped. Tbe Insect appears during spring and fall, tbe former period extending, In Ohio, throughout the montb of May and probably tbe first half of June, and tbo latter or fall brood extending through tbe last days of August and much of September In the northern part of the state, and tbe Inst of Sep tember and the first week or ten days la October In tbe extreme southern part of the state. Tbe eggs are depos ited In both spring and fall on tbe up per side of tbe leaves, and tbe young, as soon as tbey batch, make tbctr wsy down the plant behind the sheath of the leaves. In tbe spring they go down to tbe first or second Joint above tbe roots, but In the fall, when the plants are much smaller, tbey usually go down to s point Just above tbe roots, Indicated by letter a. The effect on the wheat In the fall Is to reduce tbe growth to a mere bunch of rauk grow ing leaves that kill out during tbo win ter.

The Mistaken Motion That Ther Are Varieties of Pit Games. In tbe July Issue of The Reliable Toultry Journal W. S. Templeton of Dakota, Ills., gives a tpng and Inter esting account of Corntsb Indian Games and White Indian Games, of which he Is an extensive breeder.- A note by the editor of Tbe Journal pre ceding Mr. Templcton's nrticlo says: "There la a movement on foot to drop the word 'gamo In the names of the two varieties treated of In tbe article. Tho present standard of perfection designates tbem as tbe Cornish Indian Games and the Whlto Indian Games. It is claimed that the word gamo or games arouses in ho minds of many persons an unjust prejudice, through their wrongfully associating theso two varieties with tho pit games or flgbt- IMroRTKD COI1NI8I1 INDIAN ADMIRAL era.

About tbe most satisfactory antidote wc havo found for tho grocer's bill, which astnnlHbi-s us every six months, Is ben fruit. When wo place 15 dozen eggs every week iignliiHt a wielt's gro cery purchase we have things pretty well balanced, oftentimes calling for a credit of a dollar or two. We don't make any attempts at growing jwultry as a money crop nor selling eggs as a business. We simply tako to market 13 or 2M dozen eggs every week duriffg tbe laying season nnd sell tbem to our grocer at tho prevailing price, taking same In trade. The result Is but little If any cash Is extracted from our pocket by tho vender of merchandise. This Inspires confidence In the groat roso combed ben which costs us so little to keep and nionds so lllx-rally to regular feeding of Inexpensive feeds. We have come to regard ttio ben as a necessary appurtenance on tltc farm i and given her a place on the account book or ledger where her business Is recorded from month to month. Eggs sold heru last winter for 33 cents mt doccu; tbe present price Is 12 cents, which Is thu average ...lint year around. At this price eggs, and butter at 23 cents per pound, will bal ance tbe grocery bill easily. If It suc ceeds for us, why not with you? The reason some people decry the poultry business Is they have tried It on a loose, haphazard basis, sod quite naturally met failure or disappoint ment In profits. One should engage therein by degrees, going from one point to another guided and aided by post oxpcrlciHic. Like any other busi ness. It requires a pretty good amount of commoo bard sense to successfully manngo It, and without tbls all essen tial there Is nothing In It save experi ence.
