To lose a week or two at seed
time because seedsrnen are crowded;
or to go without scatce seeds be-
cause the stock is exhausted, is q
loss of money. The best, freshest
and cleanest seed only should be
used. This kind costs more,
but is much cheaper than poor,
foul seed. A change of seed is
desirable, especially of such grain
as peas, oats or wheat, which are
attacked with weevil or deteriorate

These seeds should be procured

English experiments are good
thing for England, and experiments
in Germany are of great import to
German farmers. These, too, have
certain general application the
world over, but the farmers of our
country require definite intelligence
suited to our climate and produc-
tions.
The primary duty OF the State
Board of Agriculture, according
to the law establishing it, is the
control and ca,'e of the Agricultural
College. A report is required to
be made annually, which shall con-
tain an account of what has been
accomplished in that institution,
and there seems to have been little
further contemplated by the fafm-
ers Of the law. In the report Of
similar Boards in the States of
Maine, Massachusetts, and Connec-
titut, there are valuable discussions
upon topics connected with the
farm and garden, in which informa-
ton, great value is aduced. There
is a great value to be attached to
discussions of agricultural topics
by men who are of long experience
and careful observation in this vo-
cation that has so much dependence
upon empirical knowledge. If the
regular meeting of our Board
were characterized by the valuable
discussions and papers presented,
there would be no trouble about
having fair attendance of interest
ed menAmen who are willing
to employ every praiseworthy
means to elevate the farmers call
ing. The law as it how stands has
in view course of winter lectures
outside of the Agriculture College
course. If this were consnhiated,
and the Secretary of the Board in
arranging for his report should
visit the leading farming district in
the State, gathering such informal
tion as could be cuiled from the
experience of the farmers, the re.
port would be an exposition of the
years progress In agriculture-just
what is needed. A report of this
character would take its place
among the current agricultural
literature and have money value
wherever circulated, aside from
the satisfaction which results from
doing a worthy thing.

Why Fancy Eggs do not Ha' En-.

We find the following floating
without proper credit. 1t gives, in
a gossipy way, good and valid rea-
sons why many eggs do not hatch,
and will well repay perusal:
"High-priced eggs do not always
hatch, for we haye tried them and
know. We set two dozen under
orthodox hens of amiable DISPOSE
ton, that knew how to stick to the
nest, and did 1t for twenty-three
consecutive days. 1t wasn't the
fault of the expressman, for they
did not come by express. They
were not old. We knew the yard
where they were laid, and they
were fresh eggs. There was twelve
pound rooster, with the hens that
laid them. And the result of the
Matching was one thoroughbred
Buff Cochin chick.
Now, there are twenty reasons
why they did not hatch-beginning
with this, that the hens were kept
confined In too small yards. We
do not know what physiological
laws are violated, that hens kept
In close confinement do not breed
well. Perhaps it is because they
are fowls of the air, and heed d
good deal of that article and plenty
OF mother earth TO make them
thrifty. The fact is pretty well
established in the experience Of
poultry men. There is no trouble
of this kind with hens running at
large. They steal their nests In
hay mows, under the barn, under
the shed, in the woods, in out-of
the-way places with no protection
at all, and nearly every egg matches
until frost comes. But with the
fancy breeds, as they are called;
come small yards, that several va
rieties may be kept upon the same
place, and here trouble begins. All
sorts of causes are alleged for the
failure Of the eggs to hatch. The
expressman Is roundly abtised:-
The breeder is dishonest. He may
be only ignorant, and over-Hnxious
to sell eggs at six dollars dozen.
II small yards are not a good rea-
son for infertile eggs, we viii bring
forward the other nineteen. The
moral is:-It Is safer 70 buy high
priced eggs after seeing the fowls.

May we not expect something in
this direction?
There seems to be a prevailing
tendency to grow fruit and vegeta-
bles of mammoth proportions, and
our State and agricultural exhibi-
tions size often, with utter dis
regard for quality, takes pru-
dence. This is certainly an error.
The end in view should be, rather,
the production of a crop of even
fair proportions for the variety,
with definite decided quality, as
the primary end in view. A large
potato filled with hole is not a
worthy specimen, neither should
the premium be given to the larg-
est squash or pumpkin when quail
ity is the expense of increasing
diameter. Those varieties, even
which develop great proportions,
but are coarse grained and lack
for quality, should be sacrificed at
once, and the most excellent grown
In their stead. It costs no more to
grow good things; they occupy no
more room and require no more
attention. Choose the best.
The sowing of grass and clover
seed upon the snow in winter
months should receive attention. 1t
is q great convenience to SOW when
you can see just how the seed Is
scattering, then there is no danger
of overlapping or leaving vacant
strips. We trust there will be no
more orchard grass sown with clo-
yer in the place of timothy. On
many soils it has succeeded admir-
ably, and it has the advantage Of
being ready for moving at the
same time with the clover.
The New Era has a two column
article upon the subject of soiling
cattle, covering the SAME ground
Josiah Quincy did years ago. OF
course this matter, like hundred
others with the farther, must be
turned to the key of twill it pay"
and the question with us in the
West seems to turn upon the price
of labor, this being an important
element in showing that figures in
the debtor side of the account.

Experiment and its Relation
to Farming.

In new country upon virgin
soil where land can be obtained at
a very slimited compensation, the
main object of the farmer is to
cover hs large a sufface With crops
as possible with the least amount
of labor. The new, rich soil will
bring forth large crops with very
little attention, and agriculture
sums itself up in sowing, harvest
ing and marketing. But as the
country gets older and becomes
more thickly settled, the soil be-
comes IMPOVERISHED by this whole
sale drain upon its storehouse oil
plant food /; the land is divided and
subdivided into smaller and small
er parcels, and the necessity OF
more careful methods Of farming is
prime necessity to support the
increasing population. bow shall
we increase the fertility OF our
soil What methods Of cultivation
are the most economical What
kind Of crops shall we market and
what crops shall we raise to re-
turn to the land . and questions OF
like import must be answered
There is a prime necessity for
exact knowledge that can be en-
ployed in practice. Those farmers
who are striving to support them
selves and families upon their
small places can i'll afford to risk a
livelihood in the attempt in the at
tempt to substantiate a theory.
They want definite knowledge that
is the result of actual trial. Their
questions must be answered by
those who know whereof they
affirm.
How is this information to be
obtained9 BY accurate and long
continued experiments, made by
men who understand their business
and can successfully eliminate oil
sources of error. The relation oi
this impirical knowledge to sue
cess ia agriculture is growing more
intimate every year. England
Germany, France and other foreign
countries have for long time been
prosecuting the most important
series of experiments with this OBJ
iect In view. There are certain
kinds Of experiments that can be
successfully tried through the
country by farmers, and the re-
suits as they are made public
through the press are Of great
value to the farmers. Among these
are the testing Of different kinds
of seed upon q variety Of soils
ascertaining the value of manure
upon the surface and plowed un-
der the soil /; results Of deep and
shallow blowing; relative value Of
certain rotations Of crops, etc., etc
Trials Of this kind may be made
along with the ordinary routine oi
farm management and results oi
great value be deduced.
