We have before spoken Of the Inn
portance OF having only the best seed
to sow. Let everything intended to be
used for this purpose DO selected and
cleaned with scrupulous care, every
light seed and foul weed being driven
out. The tanning mill Is not used
half as much as IL should be, and two
often the work Is dclayedso long that
when the time comes IL Is but half
done. Let a calculation be made of
the exact quantity Of grain or grass
seed required for every field TO he
sown, aud the quantity made up only
OF what has been carefully run
through the tanning mill, aud IN ne
cessary hand sifted, and put up in
bags and labelled 10 show what field Ii
Is 10 90 To. Then when the time
comes for seed, there will be no con-
fusion and loss Of tims sbcut the
matter.

rr.n.pI.ntins in sne Night.

A gentleman, anxious to ascertain
the effect Of transplanting at night,
instead Of by day, made an experi-
ment with the following results: He
transplanted ten cherry trees while
In bloom, commencing at four o'clock
In the afternoon and planting one
each hour until one O'Clock In the
morning. Those transplanted dur
ing the day time shed their blossoms,
producing little or no fruit, while
those planted in the dark maintained
their condition fully. He did the
same with ten dwarf tress, after
the fruit was one-third grown
Those transplanted during the night
perfected their crop, and showed nc
injury from having been removed -
With each Of these trees he removed
some earth with the roots. The In.
cident is fully vouched for; and II n
few more similar experlmentsprodu
like result, 1t will be q strong argu-
ment to horticulturist, etc., to do such
work at night.-Er.

In the flush times Of Vicksburg,
when the term ''hard case'' meant
something more than 1t now does,
Harvey Jenkins was admittedly one
Of the hardest. BY some strange ac-
cident Harvey found himself at
church one evening. The sermon
being over, the preacher requested
all who were friendly to religion TO
rise and hold up their right hand.
The whole audience apparently were
on their feet. After they were seated
the minister continued
snow, II there is single one here
who desires TO see Satan and his king
dom prosper, he will rise and hold
up his right hand.n
Harvey, with some difficulty got
to an erect position and said:
Had the vote been less unani-
nous, I should have retained my
seat, but / make It n point Of honor
never to abandon q friend In adverse
circumstances.

The plea of Mr.. Wittemore, argued
so disastriously TO his client by Gen
eral Butler, that the cadet money ali
went to the poor, has revived the old
story Of the miller who sometimes
had crazy fits, in which he always
imagined himself to be the Lord judg-
ing the world. ft"
On these occasions he would put
on paper crown, ascend "a pile OF
meal bags with great dignity, and
call his neighbors I'm succession. The
same ones were always Judged; and
these were the ,millers of his vicinity
The first summoned was Hans
