igEEiT FOG SEED.

As the season for sowing is near q
hanl the suggestions offered in an articl
contributed to the Patent Office Report
for 1881, by E. Weston, of Bloomfield
Maine, may be Of value to some of ou
readers: e
at has been suspected for long time
that our seed was in fault, at least for {
part of the deplorable deficiency in the
wheat crop. l could not see why fouI
mill cleansner should not be the bes
thing to prepare wheat for sowing, till al
experienced miller told me it would XII
cue half Of it. Rejecting on this fact.
was led to see what effect the commo,
threshing-mill would have, when man,
kernels are broken in the operation.--
These suggestions have been experiment
ted upon, and it is found, on repeated
trials OF samples sown in common saucer.
and broadcast in the ground, that one
fourth or more Of the largest kernels arr
killed, and never gcrminate, and som.
will produce shoot and no root-the roc
sprout being killed by the machine. Thi
accounts In some measure, for whea
comming up thick enough, but shortly be-
comming thin. Many kernels, from ma
tive strength, shoot up, but having nc
roots, die.
"In our -four mills may be seen the caps
Of the root sprOut, blown out by the blow.
er or fan, under the hopper, by quarts al
q time, besides that which is blown out
above. One farmer told me he had tried
the experiment by accidentally having a
barrel Of wheat threshed by hand, and
sown with another barrel threshed with a
machine, and the difference was at least
one quarter. Thus it is seen that one
quarter Of the seed is killed by the ma.
chine for threshing; and the whole is run
through an ordinary tanning mill all TO-
gether, and sown from the mass. We
raise our wheat, year after year, from a.
bout three-fOurtLs of the seed sown, and
that Of the poorest quality; the best and
fullest being killed. Now to my mind.
this is enough to account for the diminu-
ton of the wheat crop from 20 to 80
down to from 10 to Is bushels. No seed
on earth could stand such test. Form
erly the wheat was threshed with fail.
and wlIUowed in the Northwest wind.
and then the seed taken carefully from
the Northwest corner of the pile, SO that
very little was sown except the first order
of kernels. Some went so far as to Sc
lect heads Of the largest and best growth
By pulling them from the sbeaves. A
gentleman, who tried the last experiment.
had quart of wheat which was sown on
a corner Of the field; and he assures NE
that Ae could see the difference in the
grain, forty or fifty rods, the plants be-
in- a darker, broader leaf, and taller
growth"

LITTLE INcIDENT.-A gentleman, while
converslng with friend in his office, was com
planning that he had several notes to meet, and
could not imagine where the money was TO be
procured for that purpose, he having been ds4p-
pointed In his calculations. Just about this time
small girl came near the door. She was poorly
clad, and carried in her tattered apron few
chips, and was on her way to the place which
she digri6ed with the name of ''home.'' She
was bare foot and her ankles were as red as beets
The friend remarked to the gentleman, ''there's
chance for the exercise of your charity Buy
her pair of shoes, and before night YOU get
money enough To pay yonr notes." The gentle.
man, not hesalng, accompanied tine girl to
s1Oe store and purchased her good pair Of shoes
She thanked her benefactor, and then skipped
away, with light heart, rejoicing; whlr the
benevolent gentleman participated largely in the
JOY that his generosity had produced on the object
OF his sympathy.
Before the lapse of an hour, as his friend had
predicted, several persons called to pay the gen.
tieman money; aud he received not only sufIi-
cIent to meet his notes, but had more than enough
remaining TO buy pair of boots for HIMSELF

Hotel, 81 Louls,a few nights since, by which two
children were burned TO death. A Mrs. Hicks.
who occupied a room in the Hotel, left it that
evening 10 be absent only few minutes. She left
in the loom her two little girls, one aged years
and the other Is months, the latter laying on the
bed. While she was gone the Oldest one COM
menced playing with the fire. when her dress ac-
cidentslly caught, and she ran to the bed where
her lile sister lay, and in few minutes the bed
was in flames. The youngest child was burned
to death. and very much dis6gured by the action
Of the FIRE, and the Oldest was found in the last
agonies Of death and lived only a short lime
The father left only short time since for Cali

A CIRCUMsTANCE.-Two rival drivers, the
other day, got in muss, as is their way, and
shocked all pious ears with curses in damning
eyes and damning horses. As on their boxes high
they howed, The passengers in anger growled, IN
til the Jehus, rage inflated, each took his course
and separated. But as they brooded DER their
trouble, it grew to magnitude just double; and
both averred, with feeling stout, they'd meet
again and have it out. So, ere they took another
trip, they threw down ribbons, gloves and whip,
and met in furious mood TO test which of their
prowesses was best. But ere they struck single
hit, they stopped bit 10 think of it. And then
they argued which was right, till half forgotten
was the fight; and, as the talking made them dry,
they dropped into cellar by, where, as the dry
ness gan TO wane, they set on to drink again.
Now, as the talking didn't cease, so did there
thIrstiness increase; until, with arguing for the
right and drinking, they got awful tight, and then,
from fight and warlike bother, thay srais hit began
to love each other. Thus each swore he himself
was wrong-airmtd with protestations strong
and vowed that they would stick together through
every sort and shade Of weather, and shook hands
warmly Ger and o'er-repeated what they'd said
beforehand, that their love might never shrink
they nailed it with another drink! A very hap.
py termination for such noisy perturbation: for
stead Of fury dire and blows, and blackened eye
and bloody nose, firm friendship sprung, unmoved
by ticks, based on pedestal of bricks.-Post.
