The Way to Select Seed Wheat.

ONE of the most satisfactory ways of
obtaining choice seed wheat is to select
the cleanest and best spot in your wheat
field, where the grain grows most perfect
1y and is most mature. Then harvest and
thresh these portions separately with the
greatest care, and save the seed for sow
ing Pursue this course for q number of
years, and you will produce what will
seem to be new variety of wheat; but it
will only be the same developed and per-
fected to a higher degree. This operation
for securing good seed will pay in every
department IF farming and gardening.
When selecting seed always choose. va
ricty that has succeeded well in soil and
climate similar to your own. Intelligent
neighbors who have raised good wheat
can help much in this matter. 1t is not
well to try new experiments 0nsa large
scale unless one is prepared to risk aeon
siderable loss. Accept only that seed
which is perfectly ripe and plump. Let
no man impose on you by saying that
smaller kernels will produce greater
numbeKOf plants from bushel of seed.
What is wanted is a strong, vigorous
growth of wheat plants. This you can
not effect from half grown or shriveled
seed. Never sow any but the clean
est seed. You can tell by examining it
what its condition is. If the seed Is good in
other respects, but is foul, clean it your
self But be sure to have it clean, at all
events. Reject seed that has been kept
damp or has been heated. Seed that sui.
fered either or both of these injuries may
gcrminate, but it has lost "a part of its vi
tality and should never be used for seed if
better can possibly be secured. Do not
sow mixed seed on the same ground. Let
the seed of one sowing in the same field
be of one kind alone. You will thus
know what kind You are growing and be
able to compare results with an approach to-
ward accuracy. Hpossible, never sow seed
which is more than one year or, at most,
two years old. Old seed may gcrminate
and may not. Prudence will suggest That
seed should be used before it has been ex-
posed TO decay, to insects, to dampness or
to other injurious agencies. Experience
has taught that some of these are likely to
injure the kernel if it is kept after the first
year. The farmer who will select and
prepare his seed wheat according to the
above suggestions will greatly increase the
chances in favor of having fine crop
next year.-N. Y. Herald r.

Flowers In France

A writer in Lippincott's says: "It Is
a rather singular fact that two of the uses
to which flowers are put In America
should be comparatively little known here.
One is the ballroom bouquet, which every
American society man is expectedstO be-
stow upon his chosen partner for the Ger
man, or which he delights in depositing
as an offering before the shrine of the
reigning belle of his own set or the fair
one who has especially attracted his I'D.
miration. No small tax are these floral
tributes-in many respects rendered oblig-
atory by the usages of society-upon the
finances of q .party-going bachelor. In
Paris his purse would not be drained in
such a fashion. Young ladies, as rule,
do not carry bouquets to parties. Another
most poetic and tender custom-namely,
that of strewing the form of the beloved
dead with flowers, and of covering the
closed coffin with wreaths and other floral
devices-is almost wholly unknown here.
This practice-which, in New York, has
of late years been carried 70 upitch of IL
diculous and outrageous extravaganza
has always seemed to me, within bounds,
one of the most appropriate uses to which
the fairest gifts of Nature could be put

though what tenderness of idea or of sem

struction of wire and muslin, or of wire

The London correspondent of one of
our provincial papers gives what he calls
a '.striking instance" of 1.-THE eccentrici-
ties of genius with which literary history
abounds." Why disguise matterss 1t re
fcrs to Mr.. Swinburnc; he is the young
poet alluded to. But let me quote the
anecdote. Here it is:
!. /" One OF our younger poets, having ac-
cepted an invitation to dinner at a certain
house, arrived in due course. 1t was OBJ
served that he was rather excited and
strange in manner, but as he is known to
have singularly high-strung, nervous
temperament no particular attention was
paid TO this circumstance. Dinner went
off in the usual way. The guest of the
evening was particularly brilliant; his
rapid, discursive conversation. never
ceased: After dinner, in the drawing
room, he consented to read some sonncts
from his most recently published volume,
and he was good enough to expound in
most eloquent and luminous language the
subtler meanings of these poems and their
connection with each other. His audi
ence werer delighted Here and there,
of course, there was touch of extrava-
gance in his speech, but to poet some
poetic license must be granted, Before
going he requested the lady of the house
to accept the volume, and inscribed her
name in it. AlEthis was very well, but
some two or three days afterward he called
upon his host and Immediately began to
pour forth q whole string OF apologies.
He had mislaid the card-he had mistaken
the pight-he had had to go down into the
country. This astonished person now dis
covered that his guest of the evening was
absolutely in ignorance of his ever having
been near the house; that he had come to
apologize for having neglected the invita-
ton, and that he was anxious that the lady
of the house should accept copy, to be
sent from the publishers, of the very book
which he himself had given her"
From my knowledge Of the author Of
Chastclard" I have not the smallest
doubt that the above story is uuc.-Lon-
don Cor. Appletons' Journal.

Health Of Farmers.
THE Massachusetts Board of Hcalt

THE Massachusetts, Board of Health is
out with its fourth annual report, in which
is to be found an interesting paper on the
longevity of the farmers life. 1t says the
evidence collected from country phys-
clans throughout the State for the last
twenty eight years shows that the average
length of the life of farmer in that State
is tifty-five and a fourth years. This is
much longer than that of any other class
of citizens. The class most nearly. APP
.proaching farmers, viz, outdoor mechan-
les, live only fifty-two and half years on
an average.
The almost unanimous belief of those
physicians and the compiler of the paper
is, that farmers might live much longer
than they do by exercising more care in
choosing, cooking and eating their food,
in avoiding over work and exposure to
change of weather and the use of foul
drinking water. Their food consists too
much of pork, pies and saleratus bread
and cakes. The cookery is bad and meals
are eaten too quickly for good digestion
when work hurries. More vegetables and
fruit should be eaten and more rest taken.
More cleanliness as regards out-houses,
sinks and backyards should be observed,
and more care taken to avoid leaving cess
pools, sinks, ETC., nearer to a we'll than
thirty feet at least.
