The Selection Of Seed.

Nearly all the principal varieties of
the cereals have been originated from
a few ears, of extraordinary size and
quality gathered by intelligent obscr-
vers at harvest time, and propagated
from until large quantities ofsecd wcrc
obtained. The potato oats, which turn
ed out to be Il most valuable variety,
was originated by a gentleman ofCum-
berland, Eng, from II single plant of
an extraordinary size and weight found
growing in n potato field. The most
approved varieties of wheat bear the
name of some intelligent farmer who
originated them. The Chevalicr bar
ley, most excellent variety of this
cereal, was named after NJ. Chevalier,
a French agriculturst, who originated
it by selecting the finest ears in a field
of barley at harvest time. n vast i'm
provement of seed and II consequent in
crease Of acreage produce might very
easily be elected, if farmers would an
nually select the best ears ofthe cereals
at harvest time and propagate from
them. The agreeable produce of all
kinds of crops may be greatly increased
by selecting and using the best seeds.

Tanning Leather.

1t is often Il matter of both convcn-
fence and economy in the household
or OH the farm to be able to do n little
tanning so we give here an approved
receipt which may prove useful. Soak
the skin or hide eight or nine days in
water, then put it in lime take it out,
and remove the hair by rubbing it
and soak it in clear water until the
lime is out. Put one pound of alum to
three of salt, dissolve in vessel sutti-
GENTLY large to hold the hide; soak
the hide in it three or four days, then
take it out, let it get half dry, and
then beat or rub it until it becomes
pliable. Leather prepared by this pro-
cess will not do we'll for shoes, but an
swers for hamestrings, back bands,
and various other purposes on tho

Love Your Mother.

Little ones, do you love your mother!
You will never meet an eye as tender,
a hand MS gentle, or Il heart as kind az
hers. No love will ever be SO strong
as that which she bears you. It was
she who nourished you in your infancy
and soothed, with pleasure, your fever
fsh cries, when all other ears had grown
weary OF them. She would cool the
heavy brow, change the heated pillow,
and answer your countless calls till
the stars paled in the heavens, and yet
no repinfng words escaped her lips.
It was your mother who watched
over you In childhood, taught your
lisiing tongue it's first words, and your
tottering feet to bear your unsteady
weight. She was happy II your child
ish heart was full of joy; or If your
brow was clouded, with loving words
and gentle manner, she was ever ready
to dispense it. In youth, she guided
the feet which are 80 prone to err, into
the paths of peace and wisdom.
Then we must love her who has sc
much loved us.
When you go forth into the world
if you are in prosperity, many hearts
as fortune frowns, these friends will
desert you for one more favored by for
tune. sTis then a mothers love will
shine the brighter; and in the depths
of her devotion, will make you forget
that the world is cold and cherries;
that friends are false; and that life is
full Of disappointment.
Then let your mother see that you
think of her perform those little
nameless attentions which can only
answer the demand of loving heart.
