SowlNG LocrA. sEED.-Considera-
bic difficulty has been experienced in
propsga,ing the locust from seed,
from the circumstance Of their not
readily vegetating. This may some
times be owing to the fact, that they
do not always come to perfection
here, but this is generally in conse-
quence Of not taking the necessary
care IN preparing them. The follow
ing method FOX this purpose may not
be generally known. or if known it is
not attended to. 1t will insure sue
cess, and cause the seeds to grow as
readily as beans or Indian corn.
Place quantity OF the seed in a
vessel holding a quart or two. pour
on boiling water, and let it stand
twenty-four hours. Then decant j,
and it will be found that consider.
able number are softened and swell.
led by the operation; these are to be
separated from the rest and planted
and to the remaining unswollen one.
another portion Of lot water IS to b<
added. which also is to remain TWEEN
ty-four hours, and a second selection
made, to be planted rs before. In Z
few days nearly the whole Of the
seeds will Be thus prepared.
