Whv Seeds Fail.

PRACrIcAL IIISrs.-Frequent failures
are made in cultivation which are unjustly
charged to the seedsmen. Seeds are sown,
they do not come up, and they are set down
as old or imperfect. While such seeds are
doubtless sold by some, our experience is
that respectable seedsnlcn generally send
out reliable seeds, and that the want Of
success is oftener the fault Of tn, sower.
In treating Of the vitality Of seeds in late
number of the american AgricuitUratiSt,
it was shown that there was no general
rule as to the time that seeds would keep !;
so seeds after being sown differ as to their
power Of resisting decay il the circumstan.
ces are unfavorable to their immediate ger.
mination. Three conditions are necessary
to the growth of all seeds, viz: air, mois.
ture, and a sufficient temperature. Any
one of these failing, the seeds will not
grow. The amount Of heat required for
germinatiun varies greatly with different
seeds those Of the common chickweed
will start at temperature just above freez
ing, while those Of some tropical plants
IS or 80 degrees. The seeds Of tho plants
commonly cultivated germinate ut TEN.
pcrature Of so to GO degrees. Moisture
is required not only to soften the seed coat,
but to enable the germ to grow, and too
little or too much is egualy y fatal to success.
If the soil is too dry the seeds remain un.
changed, and If on excess Of moisture is
present, the seeds, il delicate, will decay.
In well drained soil the proper amount
Of water is held by capillary attraction.
The third requisite, air, is always present
in recently worked soil. All the condi.
tions being favorable, there is great dif.
ference in the time that seeds require for
termination. Place under similar circum.
stances, il has been found that wheat and
millct germinate in one day, beans, radishes
and turnips in two, and lettuce in four days,
while melons and cucumbers require five
or six, and parsley thirty or forty days.
The seeds OF some trees and shrubs remain
in the ground one, and even two years be.
fore they gcrminate. The common causes
Of failure with good seeds are: too deep
or too carly sowing, and excess Of moisture.
When small seeds are planted too deeply,
the vitality Of the germ is exhausted be.
fore it can reach the light and mir necessary
to its growth; such seeds should be barely
covered with soil, and If there is danger Of
the surface becoming too dry, it should be
shaded. Ve,y small seeds may be sprin.
klcd on nicely prepared soil, and then lay
board upon the su face until they start.
When sowing is done 100 early, the ground
is too cold, and many seeds rot before it
becomes of proper temperature to cause
termination. Too much moisture in the
soil excludes the necessary air, and thus
one of the requisites being wanting, the
seeds decay.

brother returning, neither could he be sure
that Mr.. Redtern came straight from the
coppice; he came from that direction.
The testimony Of the Squire's daughter
had added nothing to the hopefulness Of
Godfrey's case. The excitement, indeed,
seemed to reach its height, and the throng
its greatest density, during her brief exam
ination but the cross-questiOning about
the time of thesupposed murdcrer's return
the state of his drcss-his manner and
words-was pitilessly uncompromlS,lng,
even in the respectful compassion which
softened the questioners voice, and maze
his marks of interrogation less sharp,
And then there had occurred little hustle
in the crowd as the Squire went to take
care of his daughter, who had tainted; and
perhaps the general excitement and expec-
tancy received rather a stimulus than a
quietus from that casualty.
There seemed, however, to be little doubt
as to the result Of the trial. Godfrey Red
fern had met his brother in the coppice,
had been heard to use threatening language
the significant remark had been made that
ait was the last time for one of the two
time had proved which one. At the end
Of the coppice nearest the pool there were
marks Of desperate struggle and it had
been proved that Mr.. Godfrey Redfern left
the coppice alone. Mr.. Redfern, the elder,
asserted that his half.brother had taken
him by surprise and fclled him to the
ground; that he, Godfrey, was stunned for
the space Of some seconds, he could moi
say exactly how long; that when he did re-
cover he had looked round for his brother
but failed to see anything Of him. lie was
then 50 dizzy from the fall that he had tC
cling to q tree for some time before he could
stand upright. He never saw his brother
alive afterwards.
1t was, however, remarkable that God
frey should have returned bafehcadcd, and
by his own admissions, unconscious Of the
loss Of his hat, and that the hat should have
been found on the brink Of the pool, which
he stated he had never reached. A feeling
Of suffocation began to creep over thu
Squire as a voice in the crowd muttereC
eagerly, He'll be hanged for. all he's {
gent, as sure as his names Redfern and
another responded, Unless they make i
manslaughter." And then all at once he
was conscious Of hand insinuating itsel
over his arm, and bit Of soilcd paper wa,
dashed at him. The next moment he had
left the court. ....

the Squire of Beeehwood, should have been
Oh the spot, firm in his own conviction OF
Godfreys innocence, and yet powerless to
help him in the slightest degree. 1t was
prodigious! 1t seemed like II judgment
upon the contemptuous security with which
he had argued about such cases.
And then the shouting people set the
bells Of the principal town church to ring,
and Godfrey leaned back in the Squire's
carriage, and hid his face.
Those bells must have fallen like melo-
dious blessing upon Isabel, waiting in dull
misery for the verdict, looking with hope.
less eyes upon the spires and chimneys Of
the town wherein the light Of her life
threatened to 90 oout. For surely some mir.

those would never sound in her ears IL

farm is seven miles long and five and half
wide; il contains twenty-five thousand
acres. In May, 1862, eleven thousand acres
Of this Farm had been enclosed, and sub.
divided into fields Of section or two,
more or less, each. lie had large f,rce
building fence, aud o month later he cx.
pected TO have twenty thousand acres en-
closed with board fence. He depends
mainly on raising corn and feeding cattle
for profit; and has ut present over 5000
head Of cattle. Of the IL 900 acres above
mentioned, eighteen hundred were devoted
to corn, three hundred to winter wheat,
forty ~ oats, and fifteen hundred to mea.
dow. The rc't are in pasture. Twenty
two thousand bushels Of corn were sold at
forty.two cents per bushel that spring,
amounting to over nine thousand dollars; !;
