Frcper Depth to Cover Who a*. Mr. Tood of New York has ex pen menteti with wheat as follows: Four teen grains of wheat planted 1 inch deep in row No. 1, in row No. 2 14 grains were planted 2 inches deep, the sauio number of grains were planted 3 inches deep in the third row, in the fourth row • 14 grains were covered 4 inches deep and so on ntil eight rows were planted, increasing the depth 1 inch in each row, until the eighth row was planted. Sight days after, it was found that iu ; row No. 1, 12 of the 14 grains had come up. In row No. 2 there were seven. In No. 8 there were eight. In No. 4 there were five. In No. 6 there were three, jln No. 6 there were only two. Those grains planted 7 and 8 inches deep re spectivelv did not come up at all, and upon examination it was found that only four sickly sprouts were attempt* ing to reach the surface. What became of the other grains seem to have been a mystery. From this experiment, we conclude that seed wheat must not be planted too deep; suggesting the fallacy of “plowing in/' as much of the seed will be buried so deep that the stems can never reach the surface of the ground. We, therefore, suggest that it is better to harrow your wheat and fer tilizers iu from 1 to 3 inches deep, ao cording to the character of the soil, re membering that a thinner covering is required in close, heavy land than in one light or sandy. A still better plan, when practicable, is to use the wheat drill after the land has been thoroughly flowed, fertilized, harrowed, raked, pulverized and then rolled. This will leave your land in excellent condition for the propagation and growth of the wheat plant, as well as a smooth sur face, so important for the future harvest. FORMULAS FOR WHEAT. The following ideas are made up with the idea that the dominant element of wheat is nitrogen, with phosphoric acid and potash holding a secondary place, and also with the idea of furnishing, practically those quantities of the three elements which a crop of 30 bushels of wheat per acre would remove from the soil. The formulas are given of differ ent materials to suit the convenience of different people living in different local ities; but all are so calculated as to con tain practically the same amounts of phosphoric acid, potash ami nitrogen. The quantities given in each formula are the amounts to be applied per acre. Where the wheat is planted in the fall, and nitrate of soda is given in the form ula, the nitrate should not be mixed with the other ingredients, but reserved and applied as a top dressing in the spring, when its effect will be immedi ate and very marked, imparting a rich green color and increasing the yield. In those formulas where nitrate of soda is not an ingredient, the result will be much better if yon can afford to apply 75 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda in the spring as a top dressing, in addition to the other formula applied in the fall: Muriate of Potash 80 pounds Acid Phosphate 107 “ Nitrate of Soda 125 “ Muriate of Potash 20 pounds Acid Ph05phate........... 140 “ Cottonseed Meal 286 “ Cotton Hull Ashes (20 per cent K 20) 4* pounds Acid Phosphate 130 “ Cottonseed Meal 286 “ Unleached Wood Ashes.. 164 pounds Acid Phosphate 130 '* Cottonseed Meal 286 Kainit 64 pounds Acid Phosphate 137 “ Cottonseed Meal 143 *' Cottonseed.. 18*6 bushels Acid Phosphate 133 pounds Nitrate of Soda 13 “ Stable Manure 2 tons Muriate of Potash 30 pounds Acid Phosphate 167 “ Dried Blood 167 “ Muriate of Potash 15 pounds Acid Phosphate (with 2 per cent Potash) 130 44 Cottonseed Meal 286 “ Kainit 58 pounds Acid Phosphate 150 Nitrate of Soda. 70 44 Stable Manure 1 ton Muriate of Potash 20 pounds Acid.

WHEN TO SOW WHEAT. Winter wheat may be sown too early in tbe fall or too late, so we must select the time between these periods to put in the seed. As we have stated before, this plant encounters many enemies which flourish only at certain periods— say in the fall soon after the wheat comes np—then other enemies come on in the spring before harvest. Drouth, vet weather, freezing and thawing, all have to be considered by the man who would grow wbeat successfully. Now, then, looking to tbe dreary winter, we And the strongest wheat plants, those that are most firmly rooted with a system of luxuriant leaves sufli oient to cover the surface of the gronnd, will endure the rigors of our cold bliz iard in winter, so common of late years.

Every bottie guaranteed. .an injury. But on the other hand, if we plant too early, so that the plains attain a large size id a few weeks, hordes of insects, in the form of the wheat fly, will almost destroy the plants. This fly flourishes between the early and late sowing. So we are forced to ohoose the late seed time; and in order to be prepared to resist the adverse influences of win ter, we mast plow and harrow and pul verize and manure the soil and so en rich the seed bed, that the yonng plant will spring Up from the seed deposited in the soil, after the dreaded foes have ran their coarse, and still have snfli cient time to become well rootod before the cold winter seta in. To be more definite, let the seed be put in as late in the season as it can be, and still have sufficient time to throw out a system of roots and leaves large enough to cover the entire surface of gronnd before the cold blizzards come upon it.

Beebe :—lf you think proper yon can insert the follow ing communication in “The Signs of the Times,” if not, throw it aside, and you will not offend me. Thirty years ago I hope the Lord commenced his dealings with me, a poor, unworthy sinner. I was, like all of Adam’s race, born in sin, and I lived in the love and practice of the same until, as 1 hope, the Lord showed me that I was desperately wicked above all things I went to meeting on the first Sunday in January, 1840, feel ing as careless and unconcerned about my condition as ever a mor tal did. The preacher’s text was, “Arise, go to Neuevah, and preach the preaching I bid thee.” It seemd to me that my eyes were turned within, and I saw the cor ruption of my heart, which caused me to feel condemned before the just and holy God. The preach ing all seemed to condemn me. After preaching 1 set out for home, and after I got home I thought I would go and try to pray, and ask the Lord to have mercy on me. I went aud tried to pray, but my prayer seemed to avail nothing. I continued in this condition, trying to ask for mercy, until it seemed to me that I was committing a sin in asking God to have mercy on me, and I thought I would never try to pray any more, for I did not waDt to commit any more sin. But for my life I could not help asking God to have mercy on me, a poor lost and condemned sinner. I went on in this way, bowed down with the mouutaiu weight of my guilt. I could see the goodness of God in sparing my life for eighteen years, but now it seemed to me that He was about to cut me off in my sins, and banish me forever from His presence. 0! the distress of my soul no tongue can express, which continued for weeks and months Something seemed to say to me, “It is now too late, the time has been when you could have repent ed, but now you soe it is too late.” Aud I tried to lay it all by, but I could not help asking God to be merciful to me, although I could not see how he could be just, and be the justifier of so great a sinner as I was. All my prayers failed, aud the time drew near when I must be banished from the pres ence of the Lord. In this condi tion it seemed to me that I would have given anything in the world to have had the prayers of Chris tiansiu my behalf; but I felt my self to bo too mean and sinful to ask them to pray for me ; and I did not feel willing that anyone shoulJ know my condition. Thus I continued on until the first Sun day in June, of the same year. Ou that day I walked to and fro in my father’s yard, and watched the go ing down of tliesuu, believing that 1 should never see it rise again,for I thought the Lord was now about to - banish me forever. <), my brethren, the sorrow of soul I felt at that time, no language can ex- j press. Bed time came on, and I laid me down, but I could not sleep. I thought when the light went out, I would go once more and ask God to have mercy on me, j and I went and got down ou my knees, but I could not utter a word. As I returned to the house, it seemed to me that the earth would open and swallow me up. But I got back to the house, and as I lay dowu, I do not know whether I ut- 1 tered a word with my voice, or it was only in my mind, “God, be merciful to me, a poor condemned sinner.” All at once a light above the brightness of the sun shown around me, and the burden of my mind was gone. But I could not claim any interest in Christ, for I could not yet see how God could rimaiu just, and be the justifier of one like me. The thought occured to me, that perhaps God had oiily given me this as a warning that He was about to remove me from the earth. For time days I was in gre,at trouble, for I could not get my hurdeu back, nor see how I could he saved. I tried to ask the Lord to reveal to me my real con- : uition On Wednesday, as I was returning from mill, still asking God to make known tome my true condition, I found myself standing before my horse, praising God for His goodness to me, iu revealing Jesus to me standing, as it were, between me, the offender, and God, the offended, and bearing in His own body the punishment that was due to me. Then I could view my justification iu Him, and the way of salvation was opened up to try mind with such a flow of joy as broke into my, soul, that the whole creation seemed to bo new, and all things were praising God. I sot out for home, thinking I would tell the family of the goodness of God, and of His plan of salvation, and I thought I could tell them so plainly that they could see and iove it as I did. But 1 hud not got far before something seemed to say that I was deceived. After this my exercises have variod, sometimes rejoicing, and some times oppressed with doubts and fears. The duty of becoming a member of the church began to impress my mind, but I felt too unworthy to live with the people of God, and seemed to be as one alone. However, I went to meet ing on Saturday before the third Sunday in July, of tho same yeur, 1840. The minister, in preaching, took up my case and told the whole trial of my mind much bet ter titan I could have related it tnyself. An opportunity being of fered after preaching, I wont for ward and related to the church some of my exercises, and was re ceived for baptism, and on the fol lowing day I was baptized by Eld. Win. Gober, and was received into the church, and here I have found rest which I could find no where else. Since that time I have had doubts and fears at times, and some seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Some times 1 am ready to Bay, “It is enough," and at other times, I ant enshrouded in darkness, which makes me sad. If I am saved at all, lam a sinner saved by grace, and by grace alone. Yours,in hope of eternal life, W. P. Diokkn. DOFS IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

Democrat snys: Early in the thirties, if I romember right, Joseph Smith professed to have found a golden plate, with hieroglyphics on it, which no man could read but himself, and which he interpreted and said that he was a prophet and was to raise up a people to be called “The Latter- Day Saints;” that he was to es tablish a spiritual-wife system; that a man w: s entitled to seven wives, and he, Brigham Young and Sidney Higdon began preach ing and settled in Missouri, stren uously advocating the plurality of wives—that is, a mao had one wife after the flesh, by whom he raised up sous and daughters in the flesh; then he was entitled to six more spiritual wiyes, by whom he raised up sons and daughters unto God. The Missiouriuns soon got tired of them and run them out of the state, giving them rough treat ment and they came over into Illinois and located in Hancock county and began building up a now Jerusalem, which place they callod Nauvoo. Mormon elders went out preach ing the spiritual-wife system over Illinois and lowa,' but tho people of lowa did not receive them warmly, but when the elders would get*up to preach treated them to eggs, stale and otherwise, and also other missiles. They never got a foothold m lowa, but had better success in Illinois. Men who woro considered to be the best and tho wealthiest men of the country—lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers, mechanics— ran pell-mell into Mormouism for no other reason than that they could have seven wive's, the mat ter of roligiou never being consid ered. Soon a Mormon temple was built and Nauvoo went up as by magic. ‘ Very soon the greater portion of the men of wealth and standing had gotten them seven wives and hud located in Nauvoo. It is strange to contemplate thut men of.wealth an honor, and ladies of refinment and intelli gence, could be so deluded and be brought into such a condition as this, but it is no stranger than true. In a little while the Mormoiiß got political control of the county of Hancock, of which Carthage is the county seat. The Mormons huving all the offices of the county in their own hunds, controlled things aij they pleased and appr< - priated all aud any kind of prop erty they could got hold of to build their temple, which was, when, completed, by far the.finest building 1 ever saw. It covers one-fourth of an acre of ground and its cupola was nearly 260 feet high. In a short time nearly all the young women of the country either willingly or otherwise had becomo the spiritual wives of Mormon elders (the wealthy men all being elders), and so it continued until about 1846, when the good people rebelled against such proceedings aud called ou Governor Ford of Illinois for redress; but he, being a “Jack” Mormon, refused help. Up to this time the Mormon elders lived in great splendor with their various little seraglios und harems, but they did so bad that the good citizens could stand it no longer. There was an old man among the good citizens that had fought under General Jackson in tho war of 1812, and he told the people that he would help get up troops and he would command them. So a call was made for volunteers to meet on a certain day, east of Nauvoo, with six days’ rations und arms and ammunition. Troops by the thousands came in from Missouri, lowa and Illinois. They also brought some cannon, and when they began bombarding the city of Nauvoo the Mormons sent out a flag of truce und asked for terms of peace They were told that if they would leave by the first day of May that they would not destroy the town. They agreed to leave, and did leave. They began to buy cows with young calves. They ate the calves and trained the cows to the yoke. On the first of May they yoked up their cows, hitched them to wag ons, took their seven wives und from ten to thirty children, and betook themselves to the perilous journey to the Salt Lake, in Utah. There, out of the reach of law or humanity, they began to build an other Now Jerusalem and set up divers seraglios und harems, which are kept up clandestinely to this day, notwithstanding the rigid laws passed by congress against polygamy. These Mormon elders who are preaching through this country are not for the good of souls, but are proselyting around to get the ad vantage of some poor, thoughtless girls that they may induce to go to Salt Lake City, aud when they get there will find out the delu sion, when too late, that she has to be the spiritual wife for some Mormon elder. A few years ago two Mormon elders went into North Georgia and made many proselytes, and in the full they were, missing and so were many young girls. They had gone off secretly to Salt Lake City. Two men went to Salt Lake, but when they got there their young female friends could not he found. Being encouraged, two more el- News-Heraid fk— Journal, weekly, S Onl3r $1.25. CTpl VOL. VI-NO 51 ders went into the same field to preach the next year; they did not preach but were found dead by the road side soon after they came in. Mormouism is a blot, a stigma, and an ulcer on our government, and a disgrace to our institution. I am for putting Mormonism out of the land if it takes the shedding of blood to do it. Our govern ment has gone to war over matters of less importance than this one. It would be a blessing and an honor to our government to send an army to IBalt Lake City and de stroy the last vestige of Mormon ism. It will have to be done final ly, and the sooner the better for all concerned I was a boy during the rise o” Mormouism aud lived in La Harpe, Hancock county, Illinois, and know what I say to be true. I was in the city of Nauvoo on the 7th of May, 1847. There were only a few houses on tho main streets that were occupied. The city was otherwise uninhabited. The men had given up all they had —honor, land, etc., rather than give up their seven wives. I care fully viewed the temple, and it was a master piece of workmanship. I then went to Carthage, the coun ty seat of Hancock county, and saw the jail whore their first prophet and founder of the church had been killed. After the people had run tho Mormons off from Nauvoo, Joseph Smith gave him self up to the authorities for safe keeping, and was put in jail for protection at his own request, but was killed by a band of men, ho being held responsible for all the mischief that had been done. Jo seph Smith was the prophet of what he was pleased to call “The Church of the Latter-Day Saints,” and was the cause of all this trouble and misery, which has caused the downfall of so many amiable females. After Joseph Smith was killed at Carthage, 111., Brigham Young became their pro phet and conducted them to Utah and built up the great city of Salt Lake. SIOO Reward SIOO. The renders of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh . Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrli being a constitutional disease, requires a con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, aetingdirect ly upon the blood and inucou surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative pow ers, I lull t hey offer One Hundred Dol lars for any case that it fails to cure. Mend for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

Under date of Sept. 29 Consul Monaghan of Chemnitz sends the following: “Artificial paviug stones are being successfully pro duced in this empire. The demand, in large cities, is so great aud the expense attached to their produc tion under former methods is &o large that any improvement on the older systems, whether saving money or in producing a better stone, will be welcomed by almost all countries. The newest process here is to mix coal tar with sulphur and warm thoroughly ; to the re sulting semi-liquid mass chlorate of lime (chlorkalk) is added Af ter cooling, the mass is broken in to small pieces and mixed with glass or blast furnace glass slag (hofenglasschaum). This powder is then subjected to pressure of 200 atmospheres and reduced to the form or forms wanted. The specific weight of these stones is 2.2; the resistance against crush ing it 148 kilograms (815 pounds) to the square centimeter ( l&j square inches). The resistance to wear and tear in use is fully half as great as that of Swedish granite. Thus it commends itself through durability equal to that of many stone roads, resistance to changes of temperature, roughness of sur face—giving horse a good foot hold—and finally non-transmis sion of sound. Inasmuch as the joinings are very small, dirt is avoided and cleaning is vary easy.” What Shall We Do. A serious and dangerous disease pre vails iu this country, dangerons because so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, Kirs-t, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de sire to urinate, often with a burning sensa tion,the (low of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down be tween the navel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing small quantities be ing passed with .difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
