Save Your Best Seeds.

Now is the time to be careful and save
Your earliest and best seeds. Most peo-
pie are negligent or dilatoty In regard 70
this matter, and they are forced to send
10 seed stores at planting time TO find
something that Will answer for seed. But
how often are they disappointed
Save the earliest and best seeds. Much
depends on this. Our summers are not
always long enough and hot enough for
The ripening of that invaluable crop, IN
dian corn. We should therefore select
the earliest ears, aud these are found III
th. field, where not half OF the ears have
yet matured.
BY selecting the earliest from year to
wear we gain number Of DAYS, and when
we already have a favorite kind of corn,
this is better than to send annually to the
North to procure earlier kinds, for such
are usually much smaller than that from
which we harvest our earliest crops.
Pluck the best ears while the corn is
standing, and as soon as they have turned
hard, draw down the husks and make
braid of them. Then string up Il dozen
together III your corn-barn, and YOU will
not need 10 send TO Boston or TO a neigh
Dor for seed.
White beans have new become an I'M
portant article in the market. we have
not vet learned that rot or disease has at
tackled them, and yet their price ii the
market this season has exceeded four dol
lars bushel, four times as much as they
were sold for few years ago. It's quite
important to procure early kinds OF white
beans, as thousands OF bushels are lost by
the frost Of September.
Peas also should be saved now and la
belled, as ii is a long time to April and
youmay forget the kinds unless you mark
them. The cost of box with several
apartments is not great, and the time saw
ed is important in addition to the confid-
ence Of having good seed.
Carrots, parsnips and turnips, often fail
for want of good seed Yet any farmer
may as cheaply raise supply for himself

rows except those of the first growth, for
those that start up IN the seed-bed the Sc

This is the reason why we are 50 often
cheated when We buy seedlings out of

Cultivation of the Soil.

From the time Cain first TILED the earth
tlll nearly down to the present century.
the almost universal practice Of those cul-
tvat'nF the soil was TO merely scratch the
thinntst film upon the surface. But with
the development of chemistry aud the kim
dred sciences and an insight into the prin-
elples Of the growth Of plants, it was dis
covered that more prepared earth-room
was required for the fun supply of the
roots necessary TO an increased growth Of
cultivated crops. In short the plow must be
made to 60 down deeper, and more thor
oughly do lis work of stirring the soil
Selling upon this idea, some of our would
be scientific farmers have held up deep
ploWing as the one thing needful. under
all circumstances. But the truth is. I'M
mediate deep blowing IS not safe in many
instances, and very many who have adopt
ed the practice have done so to their loss
for he time being, and they have been
led to eSehew all science" in agriculture
as humbug. The same remarks apnly
