for il to the Patent Oflice: and its issuance
therefrom was accomplished by gross
fraud.

Mr.. Alexander Reed, of Lockhaven,
Clinton county, Pennsylvania, reports
that his practice is to cut up his corn as
late as he can, and avoid frost. After
husking the stacks are bound and care
fully shocked till cured and then stored
in the barn. They are prepared for
seed as follows: Each morning and
evening the quantity needed for one
feeding is cut with power cutter, put
in tight box with a mixture of meal
and bran sprlnkled in; boiling water is
then poured on and the box closed with
a tight lid, so as to shut in both heat and
steam. That steamed at night is warm
when fed in the morning, and that in
the morning when fed in the afternoon
Mr.. Reed says that, prepared in this
way, the cows eat all the butts, and q
ton will produce more and much better
milk than ton Of the best hay pre-
pared in the same way.

VITALITY OF WEED SEEDs.-I venture
the assertion that the efforts usually put
forth to destroy the chickweed always
results in increasing the pests. For the
stellaria family, of which there are sew
en- or eight varieties, possess the power
of ripening their seeds, if need be before
they are half matured in size, so that if
the plants are chopped up with the. hoe
and left to die on the surface of the soil
millions of these seeds will ripen suffi-
GENTLY to retain the terminating pow
er, and that, too, when the seeds are so
small as to be scarcely visible. The s.
Media, as betanists name the chickweed
that infests our gardens, produces seeds
as hard as shot. The same may be said
of the purslane and many other weeds.
