, 9r. Lona, Oct 27.—The birth of a
ttt&pieion in the minds of the Board ofj
Public Improvements that the terini-,
nal roads which ar« building the new
Union depot intended to gobble up a
part of a street has led to a very full
explanation of the plans of the com-
pany. Tt was known that the build-
ing was to occupy the greater part of
a block, and that it was to
be the largest affair of the sort in the
country, but the full acopo of the
plans was not understood. Tt develops
now, the structure being half-finished,
that its cost will be closo to a million
dollars, with ornamentation as elabor-
ate aa an urt museum. Four or five
hnndred trains a day will pais in and
out of the depot when it is finished.
The first cars will discharge their pas-
sengers in it before the lights blaze in
the streets of the city next fall.
There, is a far gvcator demand in St.
Louis for expert electricians than can
be filled, and good men of this sort are
almost naming their own salaries. Gas
for lighting, steam for engines, and
horses and cables for street cars are be-
ing abandoned generally, and electric
plants are being put in everywhere.
There arc two interesting signs of this
situation. One is the establishment of
anight school for merhanical engi-
neers, where they are taught to apply
their knowledge to electric machinery,
and the other is tin- organization of an
electrical .society, composed of elec-
trical inventors and scientists. This
opened its firs- meeting the nt hor night
with a banquet at which there were
108 plates.
The passage of the law by the Mis-
souri Legislature, forbidding betting
tn the State on raccs in other States,
has had a curious result here. St.Louis
has always had one lirst-class race-
track, the one at tho fair grounds,
which is under the control of the
•Tnekey club. Muder the old condi-
tions, too, there was one other out in
Forest Park, where nmateur trials of
■peed were had. The ue\v law has
brought into existence three more
tracks, one in the southern part of tho
city, where the racing by electric light
was done at night last summer; an-
other in East Si. Louis, just across the
river; and the third across the river,
too, near Madison. The company nt
the back of this last cutcrprisc
have built a passenger depot at tho
foot of Olive street, and run trains
over the river every afternoon, while
the racing is going on, at intervals of
half-an-hour. The great raccs of the
cifry out at the fair ground's track lake,
place in the spring and fall, and as
soon as they stop these other tracks
begin their winter racing. On the two
tracks across the river, of course, tho
Missouri law doesn't apply, and the
book-makers swarm there to get bets
on the Eastern raccs. The tracks arc
patronized principally by the St. Louis
people, and so the law accomplishes
nothing but the breaking up of the
pool-rooms in the business alleys down
town. This, by the way, was the
primary object of the legislators w ho
had it passed.
If London streets were put end to
tnd they would reach from that city
to St Petersburg.

Seetl llrd for Winter Wneut.
I The hardiness of winter wheat is
attosted by tho fact that wherever
grown it has to endure severe cold,
ifrequent storms and repeated freezing
and thawing during tho first few
inonflis after it is sown. If it passes
tbevo ordeals safely the plant strikes
deeper root, sends out a number of
stalks from each grain sown, and
yields often sixty or a hundred fold
from u single seed That it does not
always or even gonorally do this
|is provou by tho fact that tho usual
seeding of wheat is a bushel and a
half or two bushels per acre. Tho
average wheat yield up to J8iU was
112 to l.'l bushels per acre. Last year
(it reached 15 bushels, and thus gavo
itho farmers of the United Statos the
'.largest whoat crop ever bur vested. In
what are called good crops winter
wheat, yields 25, 40, and even 15
bushels per acre. Between the possi-
jblo yield from a singlo grain of whoat
and the actual general result is avery
iwide gap. One of tho most important
practical questions is how best to
'bridgj it
i Not that it is possible often or pos-
sibly ever to grow by tho acre a crop
of wheat under tho host concoivablo
conditions or largo yield. The wheat
must stand out doors through much
inclcmout weather. If snow comes
it is likely nowadays to bo pilod in
banks near tho fences smothering and
killing tho wheat where it lies and
leaving tho most part of tho field
linked und unprotected. If wo had
jenough forest for wind breaks wheat
might faro better. Hut wherever
largo forests prevailed, bo soon as
nioti found that tho cleared land was
good for wheat they cut tho trees
down, and left winds to swoop ovor
l^hem. thus destroying part of the
conditions that made early wheat
growing so successful.
There are two ways, however, even
in the most exposed country of saving
'young whoat from tho worst injury
by the weather. One is to mako tho
6oil rich, the other is liko to it and
.that is to bo manage the preparation
of ti seed bo'd that most of this fertility
(Will bo near tho surface, thus insur-
ing a spreading habit of growth both
of rtfots and top. It is often said
that wheat needs to get a largo top to
protect itsolf during tho winter. But
the character of the top is more im-
portant than its sizo. If whoat is
sown during hot weather and spires
up without spread Dg. as it will in
Buch cases it will kill out in winter-
worse than whoat sown so late that it
scarcely had any top. The latter had
moro root th in top. Tho first had
more top than root ISorno of tho
worst failures of winter wheat have
re ulted in pieces that to tho inex-
perienced eye looked best the fall
before.
Practical whoat growors agreo that
tho land for seeding with wheat
should bo well compacted, with a seed
bed made raoist and mellow near tho
surface. 6ays tho American C ultivator,
it is not easy to realizo these con-
ditions for thoy require time as well
as labor to realize them in full. As
most whoat is now grown on stubble
ground of spring grain there are only
a few weeks possible in winch to
prcparo t o seed bed. What can be
done to bring such land under the
most favorable conditions for seeding?
In tho first pla e plowing should
follow tho harvesting of tho grain as
toon as possible. Keep a drag and
roller in the field as the stubbie is
turned under, and each day towards
night drag and roll down all that has i
been plowed that day. There is gen- !
crally some moisture in newly turned '
furrows. If you wait until tho whole
lie id is plowed beforo dragging and I
roi ing down most of this moisturo \
has dried out of the upturned furrow. !
Unco out there may not come rain
enough before proper seeding tune to |
germinate tho grain. There is al-
ways some green herbage, woods if
not clover in grain stubble when it
is plowed under. If soil is compact-
ed about this green herbage it rots at
on r* not only giving out all tho fer-
tility it contains, but enabling the soil
to be much better compactod than it
would otherwise be.
This compact soil is very important
for tho host growth of wheat in this
climate. There is always enough
freezing and thawing t6 heave tho soil. |
anfl the looser tho soil is in tho fall. !
the more water It holds, and tho moro
tho soil expands by freezing. This is
why a mucky Boil best for growing corn
is not suitable for winter wheat Make
it compact onough. and underdrain it
and such land will be best for wheat
as for corn. Moisture is all important
for compacting soil. It presses clos-
er together the particles of earth but
without preventing progress of tho
roots through them, but rather aid-
ing it < are should bo taken not to
work heavy land while very wot as
this makes it cloddy. There is not
m ch danger of this In summer or
early fall plowing in our climate.
What clods turn up thon are mostly
duo to plowing, while the land was
too wet the previous spring.
Making tho surface soil rich is best
done by mineral manures. Their of
(fect is also to harden tho soil as some
part of the minora! soon unites with
the sand and thus oecomes a silicate.
It ia however soluble in tho carbon-
ic acid gas which is always present
In land whore roeent showers havo

how soft newly fallen rain water ia

bonic aciti gas it contains which it
has absorbed in passing through the
air 'his carbonic acid gas is of tho
gr- a est importance in making any
kind of sjed start vigorously. The
sprouting seed furnishes 6omo car-
bonic acid gas. but every farmer
knows that a succession of light rains,
enough to wet down one or two

Wo nre asked by a North Caroliua
subscriber if the sugar beet would not
bo hotter than ensilage for milch
cows. The question of economy comes
iu. While the sugar beet, for instancy
pound for pound, is not as profitably I
' we believe to feed as the mangel
wurzel—which yields enormously—we
know, as do all. that tho sugar beet
is a first-class root for tho cow. Our
own experience is pretty nearly the
same as one of our llliuois stockmen,
who has been growing sugar beeU 'or
eighteen years, lie thinks that cu-
silage is more profitable. Tho milk
from ensilage is first rate. It costs
moro to produco tho beets than it does
to produco ensilage. Hoots or ensilage
nre profitablo because thoy take tho
place of hay. Tho Illinois stockman
referred to says that beets are a good
and healthy food for stock in winter,
but thoy do not take the place of
hay. They are oxeellent to food if
you are feeding heavy with shocked
corn or other rich food they will
counteract the hoating qualities of
the corn, but ensilage will do the*
sumo, and largely take tho place of
hay, and. when you take into consid-
eration the quantity that can be
grown por aero, fifteen to forty tons
it does not pav to grow moro hay
than is nocossary for a rotation oft
crops. Tho best crop ol hay will
rarely oxceed throe tons per acre,
and the average crop is one and a half
tons or less. Now when you consider
the feeding value of each, one tor* of
hay to three of ensilage you will
readily eeo tho balance is largely iu
favor of tho ensilage; bosides, it is
very difficult to secure a hoavy crop
of hay unless tho weather is very
favorable^ There is another thing
which ought to bo taken into account,
and that is the amount of storage
room required for each; it will take
600 cubic, feet for one ton of hay, and
only 150 for three tons of ensilage.—

rhr Motherly shepherd Dog:.
The ehophord dog is tho bosi
mother in tho animal kingdom. A
neighbor of mino has a shepherd who
has pups two or throe months old and
not long ago a couplo of pups had a
difference on somo subject of canine
interest and got to fighting. The
mother heard them, and appearing
to understand that the case was
serious, ran out and attcmptod to
separate them, holding one with her
paw while she pushed tho other away
with her nose. She was unsuccessful
, for tho pups kept on lighting, and
! leaving them she ran into the housei
and by barking and whining attract-
ed tho attention of hor master who
rose and followed her into tho yard.
Ho lifted one of tho pups by tho tail
and tho other by tho hind logs and
shook tho beUigcronco out of them,
and though tho poor little mother
looked on with manifest distress at
tho roughness of tho means employ-
ed. she was cviden ly satisfied with
the result for ns soon as the pups
were roleasod and sneakod olT. sho

Good wool is the farm product that

to what it takes from tho farm and1

So far as it is possible to avoid it
sheep should never bo allowed to
drink largo quantities of water at one

It is the regular feoding and keep-

The author of "llomlniscencos of

Ono of thom fell toward tho dock,
and another overboard. The third
man was hurled against the standing
rigging. Ho clung to it for a mo-

slid down 6afely.
The moment tho accident happened!

In his fall ho had caught a rope, thd
end of which was made fast below,j
and by this he was dragging through)

A comrado, properly cecured, wentj

That's what it amounts to, when you at-
v tempt i<> do washing and cleaning,
, ^ now-a-days, without Pearline. And
tho strange part of it is, that you
should be willing to suffer, when it's
only for your loss and not lor your
gain. That needless back-breaking
r rub, rub, rub isn't saving you any
thing. It's costing you r.ionev.
It is simply wearing out the
tilings that you're washing.
Why would you rather c!o it ?
That is what the women who
are saving their strength and
their clothes with Pearline can't understand.
Ptudler* and some unscrupulous grocci-s trill tell you.
"this, is as good as" or "the same as lea;. ne. ' IT'S

New Mexico is noted u'  having one
of the most equal climates in tho
world, sudden changes being almost
wholly unknown. It is a most desir-
able place either for the business man,
pleasure seeker, or the invalid, while
it is the haven for the imigrant. No
portion of the United States can com-
pare with the fertile valleys of its
rivers, und in the production of the

and the vineyard.

At a recent Emporia wedding tho
bride nnd the groom were both drsss-
ed iu dark blue, which the public is
assured was exceedingly becoming. In
getting married there is nothing like
making an even start.
A resident of Lawrence received "the
letter that never came" Saturday. It
was mailed in Chicago twelve years
ago, and with others was lost in u
ventilator shaft, where it was acci-
dentally discovered last week.
The government estimates the wheat
crop at 520,000,000 bushels, and the
corn crop at 1,700,000 bushels. This is
a falling off compared with tho im-
mense crops of lS'Jl. Hut it is a much
better showing than was expected.
