If only a tithe ot the increase hliown In one or two of the neu , varieties created is > main tained wher the wheat Is more fully tested In the fields of the northwest , the results will be of vafct Importance.

A SLOW PROZSESS. Years must elapse Iu the cultivation nf new whcatB before definite results can be known. When a new wheat IB to be created. there Is no act single-kernel It must be a - cuch thing as any wide wholesale reproduc tion. The creation of u new wheat U the work of the deft fingers of one man , who. eilded by the marvellous unknowable func tions of" nature , even it un * < eiitieni. bring such a cCe as has never before quickened und sprouted and blossomed nnd ripened under the blue skits of Bummer. The single isolated act of breeding must be followed by the kernel's fruition ; once this is accomplished , thsre lie before the creator , at the end of thr peuson. a few polden-hued grains you could hold them all in the palm uf vour'hund und have room to spare. It wonderful of possibilities , may be , most this single kernel shall become the parent of a noble race. It is out of these few hundreds of pralns that if the type is of the proper prade of merit , marvellous iijrvests are to fprlnp , to he supplied with that vast mills are millions upon millions of bushels of wheat to pats out to the hunpry world in preat train loads of flour ; it is from this handful of kernels may spring the prosperity of a nation. For. if this new grain life Is to to be ol reproduction show its power superior to that of the pralns which have been in vogue , if it is to be more hardy and more rich nnd - moreprolific , all others must fall before It ; in among the etalte of wheat no less than in the forum or in the modern marts of trade or among the presenter or prehistoric races ol the earth the same Inexorable law of the survival of the fittest must prevail. There are hundreds ot kinds of wheat the world over. Some of them are of little aid to commerce , either through inferiority of quality or paucity e > f yield. Many of them are of special fitness for their own reg on alone , and will not take kindly to other noils.

The breeding process is very interesting. Out in the nodding grain you may hpe a advanced student in man perhaiie an vounc the college , or , if the task be an exception ally delicate one. maybe a professor from the institution. His work Is to fertl r.e or w'beal 'flower ' with another ol to pollr.ulze one a different type. The flower of wheat Ifi nelf- fertilizlng , and the same process is con- utantly carried on over and over again , the type of wheat maintaining itself through the centuries. The grain of wheat which may be found in the mummy windings In some death-home on the banks of the Mle will if it hi * maintained Its powers as It is seriously claimed it may germinate on some western prairie , fertilize iteelf through Its own flowers , Just us its progeny would have done through all the years since the pyramids were builded , had it been given to the rich earth. The wheat -flower is what Is called a perfect one , having all the ewentlals of reproduc tion within .Itself. The anthers , the small sacs filled with fructifying pollen grain , burst open , the yellow dust it. sifted down upon the stigma , moist to catch and to hold the dust , germination takes place , a tubellke prowth penetrates the stigma , grows down into the ac , or ovary , where the grain ker nel is developed , and the new eced Is formed. So great an authority as Hdhrl de Vllmorln of France , one of the greatest of the world's fcfedsmen , mvs that not once in Un thouB- and times does the gram of wheat renull from pollen .being . supplied by another flower from the same or another plant I shall not forget the wonderment witch filled the fine face of this man whu.e life has been spent in the midst of the largest heed industry of the world and in the agricultural service of the French .Government , when , in company with a party of World's fair commissioners , representing the leading nations nf the world , he looked for the first time upon the limit less yellow plains of the Dakotas when the harvest was ripe for the paruerlnp. THE FLOWERLNG STAGE. But we must not wander from our young man in the field of grain. With delicate Instruments he takes a head of the wheat which has juwt entered tne flowering stupe , cuts away the top and a part of the spikes at the bottom of the head , and leaves u dozen or BO ot the strangest flowers thus treated remaining on the head. This head will be of some well-known and vigorous type of wheat , crown' from selected kernels. Another head from some other equally well- kugwn species Is similarly treated , The ker nels were planted in the spring , in single hills twelve inches epurt each way , and they have been eared for with -the most scrupulous attention , In order that they may develop into the sturdiest strength , When the two heads have bucu treated in this manner the operator deftly removes the anther from one flower of one type of wheat , and breaking it open , situ the pollen it cou- talua down upon the uioitit stigma of the other flower , having previously removed the anther from thU latter bower , so that elf- fertillzation has been prevented , The oper ator has thus acted ut an aid to nature , taking the two vital elements of reproduc tion , joining them , uua adding thereby to the plants of the world * new life most wonderful ot fccu. He has created , or aided nature to create s new grain , with untold possibilities wrapped up in its delicate green home lor the advancement of the commerce of the world.

"It lie cannot have both hindi ? of knowl edge he should have 'the first , and get si.Tie one else to "build the road , since there are a dozen who can answer the question 'How' to one that can answer the question 'Where ? ' If there Is grading to do he should under take it "with the feeling of an artist rather thun un engineer , since the shaping" of park surfaces is more nearly allied to sculpt1. - than to the building of railroads. If people give u monument , K fountain , or u relic of any kind nnd It niust be accepted , hr should know how to subordinute it to the general effect desired. "But in most cafccB the superintendent will be require-d to carry out the design furbished by some one else. Even then it is important ho should know something of the principles of deslpn und should have a lnowlcflpe of trees shrubs and flowers , with their various requirements ; hp should upprpclate the fulue of large open spaces and varied outlines ; he should know what constitutes a peed road , when It has goad linca and proper construc tion ; he should know how to make the- border of a lake appear natural and IntercBt- ine. SHOULD UNDERSTAND LANDSCAPE GARDENING. "To put the whole matter briefly , a park superintendent , in order to fulfill his duLrs ia a satisfactory manner , should have some knowledge of landscape pardoning. ThiB is just as important as It is lor a man who conducts an iirclmt , \ to hare some knowl edge of music. The conductor may not be able to compose an opeia , but he should bf able to appreciate a peed composition ; und puttlnp a man In charge of work required to maintain und create beautiful scenery who has no special kriowledpe o flandsenpe url would be like nuking a man who cannot heat time or tell one tune from another to act us leader for an orchestra. "It is , to be sure , uu advantage for a pfcrlt superintendent to have some knowledge of engineering. He should know bow to put in drains , water pipes , build roads , walks , and do ull the various kinds of engineering work usually needed Iu the construction of a park. He should * also know how to prepare tfce various plats and records of euch works that maj' be needed for reference. "J believe this knowledge can be pained by the person who has also the desired nc- cjuuiutanuc with landscape gardening , but if the superintendent IE to be deficient In either line the deficiency can be most easily sup plied from other sources if it U lack of knowledge of engineering. SHOULD BE IN LOVE WITH HIS WORK. "The Idea park euprri tcndeut should be thoroughly in lovr with "his work. 1 have known a number of such men. One hud charge of a large tract ol land , which was really a public park , although U was not culled , such , and was not managed by a city council or by park commisBlcmiys. 1 remem ber vlslttnp him many years ago ; he would call my attention to bits of soenery the border uf a lake , an undulatinp lawn , eir a distant group of red pines , by reflecting them iu a mirror which he carried for this pur pose , and which framed In and separated the view in question or the picture belup ex amined. He showed these views with utt much treasure ut. a mother would exhibVvJ1 showing her baby. "Apuln on going to t.ee him early one morning , I found him greatly Interested Iu a ravine drive. He had actually been liring tu important drain with his own hands , Ou another occasion , ut his ofllce , he took preut pleasure in showing hie various books which treated of landscape gardening und blrde.

"The superintendent should have au thority to discharpe at once any man who showed no interest in ills work ; -who worked rapidly when same one was looking at 'him. but rested mast of the time when he thought | himBelt alone ; who talked too much with his , fellow employ-es , or attempted in any way to I make them discontented , I "The ideal superintendent would in time I become acquainted with all the workers In I the park , and take some interest In tiem ' aside from securinp the preatcct amount of ; work for money expended. A word of es- . plunatlon now and then , calling the atten- I tlon of a mere laborer to the beauty of a 1 tre-o or shrub ; the statement of an interesting - ! ing fact in natural history ; or possibly a bit 1 of political economy , would give the wjrk- man food for thought , and help to deprive his labor of a little of its drudgery. "On the other hand , the superintendent can often help to educate the park commie- Eioncra. or if fortunately one or the commis sioners should be a man of peed taste the superintendent should show a readiness to learn und profit by any ncvlce that may be piven. "But , although the Ideal park superin tendent will have an intimate knowledge of the design of the park and be brought in close relation with the park commissioners - ' > ers und with his fellow workers , his greatest Influence will come from his relation to the public. The park cxiets for the reoldentB of u city und those who come to visit them. It Is u place where people po to pet frcth air. to see un expanse of sky and clouds , and lawn and meadow , to see foliage and flowers , to get sweet perfumes , and to hear the music of birds. "It may be conducted In such a manner as to exert an elevatlnc Influence on all who go to see it , to teach them to rcppect others' rights , to show them what Is in peed tuste , and to give thorn the purest kind of enjoy ment.
