Selecting Seed Whert.

Mr.. Fruit tells, in the Prairie Farmer,
how he obtained the "Early May" wheat,
= very rood variety, equal TO any, even
that which is being advertised at dollar
pint BY tho sccdsmen.
being in wheat field at harvest time,
he noticed some heads that appeared RI
Der and sOundcr than the rest. and got
leave to 20 among the stsladlag grain
and select such heads as he chose. lie
soon made a selection Of heads. ripper,
soundcr and better developed than the
mass q ( che grain in the field. This he
scwcd, and has produced what seems to
lie new variety Of fine, heavy early
wheat, which he warrants with fair treat
ment 90 yield from twenty to thirty
bushels to the acre.
fyns reminds us Of a story that is told
of the Chinese emperor who. noticing a
stalk Of wheat growing in field, taller
and riper than the rest Of the field,
caused it to be gathered and planted,
and its productse cultivated. He thus
introduced finer variety than had hith-
crto been grown in China, greatly to the
advantage Of his people.
These instances simply show the adj
vantage Of selecting good seed, matter
that receives much less attention than it
deserves, and is rs applicable to all other
grains rs to wheat.
When wheat is cultivated in the drill
il is easy to go through the field select
the ripest, largest and soundcst heads.
a few quarts Of such seed, carefully
preserved and cultivatcd-as Of course
It would bc-would soon produce q
marked effect in any neighbOrhOOd. Any
farmer who will follow this practice Of
gathering the best heads in his field
would soon make for himself the repu-
tation Of having the best seed wheat in
his neighborhood, which would be a
small fortune for him, and the influence
of his example would render him pub
lie benefactOr.
The practice Of selecting the best ears
of corn for seed, which has long been
pursued by New England Farmers, il
doubtless one reason why the corn CROP
in our less favorable climate and sol
equals or even surpasses the average
crops of the corn States at the West
where they dip into the corn bin and ust
the average corn for seed.

Poor and Good Tools.

Every man and team on the farm costs
me at least $3.50 . year; and l question
If one farmer in q hundred duly appre-
ciatcs how much he loses from having
poor horses, and in not keeping them in
vigorous health and in condition to do a
maximum days work. DO not many of
us from having inefficient horses, poor
ploughs, dull harrows, rusty cultivators,
shaky wagons, and other imperfect inn
plements and machines, lose from one
third to onc-half the whole cost Of man
and team? And besides this, do we
estimate how much we lose by getting
behind with our work from these and
similar causes? had an old moving
machine that got with the farm that

years, Directly and indirectly have
no doubt that the machine cost me el,-

This cut off the finger of the only man
who knew how to operate the machine

consequence was, we did not get through

0rAt o late meeting of the Lexington
KY, Farmers Club, DR.. Spur said he
had noticed recently that his hogs were
getting sick, and from circumstances, he
is convinced that their sickness was
caused by sleeping in wet straw. He
divided the herd, placing some Of them
in q distant lot where they could make
beds in dry ricks Of straw, and they are
now healthy and vigorous. Dry dust
and chat about the stables are about as
injurious to hogs as is the wet straw.
