U SUNNIDALE-- It is not generally known that Mr. Thomas F. Burrows has been appointed municipal clerk of Sunnidale, in place of his father Mr. George Burrows, whoon account of ill- health and advancing years has given up the position he lled so cspsbly for many years. No doubt Mr. Burrows, jr., will prove a reliable and pains- taking official and a. worthy successor to his father.-Sun. -1 \Il 20-ly smcos com! mews BUDGET.V` BRADFORD-Civic Holiday will be on `Monday, 15th . . . .Harveating in this vicinity is nished. . . .Obnoxioua weeds decorate several vacant lots . . . .

Ilr ,, .;-. n :. ` i Now. aria the falfwlieat amuse. overit is time to begin preparing. for next ye_ar ,e;crop; In order: to secure a proper seed-bed,` early `preparation is necessary. `_ In a measure than .many- farmers . seem willing to admit the ohmbmr of the seed-bed _will con-' trol the yield of wheat. If` the wheat is sown on a rough", unprepared;seed- bed a large `yield need not" be `expected unless the other conditions areextremeo ly `favorable ; and, even if other condi- tions are very favorable, there "will be " a larger yield when the land is in a per- fact i state `of cultivation before the . wheat is sewn. . It is better to ' saw a` smaller area with the land`.well prepar-` ed than a large one with the land un- prepared. ' in koopihg in them Act nll.- _ I J the lawn aarvidea that play the with the A..ccording_ to reports received from 9. number of farmers last your a. "sum-' mary of which was published in Farm-' ing for August, 1897, there-are several methods 'prc.'ctised in the ' province of preparing land for` fall wheat, and we cannot do" better here than repeat the into__rmation_gathetec_l then on this par-4. ticular point.

According to the replies received, the modes" of cultivation usudlly prec-.' tised are (1)to plow the land in the fail- low, sow peas in the spring, and after the peas are harvested plow and cnlti-. vste well,. and sow whest about the ` rstof September; (2) to plow under clover sod with'or without manure, and, where no manureis used, to plow under r the second crop of clover ; (3) to sow. after corn or roots; and (4) to summer fellow. s Sowing wheat after peas preceded by clover seems to be largely the practice, and which has given very good results, providing everything -else is done in the proper way. There is. no use in advocating a certain line of` procedure if the work is not half done. It makes no difference what thelinethod advocat- ed may be, good results cannot be ob- tained unless the conditions involved are all fullled. And it is just here where many wheat-growers fail, and why one farmer will get good results by following a certain line of practice, while his neighbor. who adopts the same methods invariably fails. Every detail of the plan must be carriedout to the letter or the results cannot be obtained. The essentials then of successful pre- paration of fall wheat are a . method of crop rotation, manuring and cultiva- tion that will tend to conserve and in- crease theplant `food in the soil and the production of a perfect seed-bed, in order that the plant may have the very best opportunity for growth possible. With these in view every farmer in this province ought to be able to grow fall wheat -successfully. The work of T preparing the land ` will take time, but it will pay inthe long run and be the means of building up and improving the soil. Summer Poultry Notes.

If the soil `is afterwards frequently stirred `with cultivator or harrow, especially after showers, an abundance of moisture can be stored to ensure prompt germination `of the grain. Rolling the land before sowing is essential to secure a rm seed-bed; but rolling after seeding tends to pro- duce a crust if heavy rains occur, and permits the snow covering to blow ,.awav more readily than-from an uneven surface, and also favors heaving by al- ternate freezing and. thawing. I be- lieve an eight pace land to be suicient- ly wide, even when land is thoroughly underdrained, and. favor having the drills cross the lands to assist surface water to get away more rapidly while the ground is frozen. Drilling the` seed to a depth of from one and a half to two inches we think gives best results, and one and a half bushels of well- cleaned seed is ample for an acre. Too much stress cannot be placed upon the necessity of clean seed, forwhatever seed is sown will invariably reproduce itself, whether it be wheat, cookle or chess.-Ellis F.

These mines were in a eld of!` Fort Wash- ington. where the channel narrows and heavy guns look down from the masked batteries on the hillside. Each mine `seems to have been exploded separately although all were struck within a few seconds` of one another, and the fact that none of their neighbors was dis- turbed by the concussion is regarded as `remarkable by the experts who have examined the remaining mines. Gen. Wilson says it is not known whether one ash red all three, or that one mine was hit and the other two were set off by the concussion caused by theexplosion of 200 pounds of guncotton.. He knows that the mines were about three feet below water at low tide and probably ve at high tide, and that neither the battery ashore in the casemate was injured nor the cables connecting the mines with it. The mines, he believes, were undoubt- edly struck by lightning, andsthe fact" that they were below water seems to have afforded no "protection, although Gen. Wilson says heis unable to state how the lightning entered the water and hit them._-Baltimore Sun. Bigger Turns up. A ' Mr. M. 0.
