should be gathered with the seed, and
it should be placed in dry, cool, airy
place till thoroughly dried out. The
most suitable conditions for this are
probably found in an open building or
she'd through which the air can readily
pass. 1t should be left in this condi-
ton till thoroughly dry. During this
drying process considerable nutriment
will be conveyed from the stalk to the
seed, thus increasing their plumpness
and weight. When thoroughly dry
the seeds may be threshed or sheled at
any convenient time. The seeds
should then be placed in the most fa-
vorable condition to keep and preserve
their vitality. These conditions are
that they be kept free from the intlu-
ence of heat. frost and moisture !;
though it is true that many
seeds will endure great extremes
of all of these, yet it is best not
to expose seed designed for planting to
any great extremes. Perhaps the best
way to preserve seed, where but a
small quantity is kept. is to tie up Sc
curely in paper sacks and hang up in a
cool. airy dry place. Care should be
taken to have them out of the reach of
mice, as they are quite fond of many
kinds of seeds, and will prove quite
destructive of them if allowed access
to them
AS to the length of time that seeds
may be kept withOutlos their vital
ity, there seems to be variation with
almost every variety of seed and with
every different method of preserving.
While seeds can be so easily raised, it
will not pay to run any risk by plant
ing seed of doubtful vitality. BY fol-
lowing the above hints every one may
have supply of their own of reliable
seeds to draw from, and such course
will scarcely fail to result in an i'm
provement in cultivated plants. -Ohio

Saving Seeds.

4 VERY important factor in all good
farming is to have good seed to start
with. And while the scotsman is a
very important and useful member of
society, to whom application should
frequently be maize for something new,
or for change of seed, yet in the main
The farmer, often the gardener, should
raise his own seed. In order to the
highest success in this enterprise there
are several rules that should be OBJ
served. Some of these | will name.
First, the seed selected should be of
some pure, unmiXed variety, for. eX-
cept IN some rare cases in which the
operation has been done intelligently,
ana with definite object in view, a
mixture of varieties usually results i'll
JheT deterioration. Having deter
mined on the kind desired, the earliest
and best specimens of that kind should
NE chosen for producing seed. 1t is
pad policy to use the earliest and best
lor other purposes, and save seed from
the plants that have been culled over
nor should the good, bad and indiffer-
tht be all mixed together and
TINS average product be used for
seed. This is sure To lead to
uegeneracy. The most promising
pants having been set apart for seed
raising. they should have the very best
"l cultivation. The idea is not to get
large, unnatural. succulent growth,
VA, strong, vigorous. healthy growth.
II The plant is of a branching nature,
.lie seed from the lower and weake
ranches should be rejected. and that
nom the more central. vigorous ones
",one be saved. 1t is important that
d.. seeds intended for planting should
'r Well ripened up before being har-
,eS'ed. For other purposes it is some
zines best to harvest before the stage
u thorough rlpenesS has been reached.

Mr.. Gladstone on Cottage Gardening.

Mr.. Gladstone recently addressed
the villagers of Hawarden, where he
has lived for many years. on the bene-
fits of cottage gardening. He said:
1.-THE trouble is that the circle of
topics opened up by a flower show is
not a very large one, but at the same
time it is one which anybody may
be very we'll contented to treat There
is not better nor a more wholesome
and sllutary village institution in the
whole round that can be named than a
flower show; that is to say, than a
society of which a flower show is the
annual celebration. In the first place,
it is one of those independent institu-
tons which teach the people to exert
themselves, and you may depend upon
it that man is not passive and me-
chanical being.
You don't train a man as plant !:
he is Il moral agent, and if any good
is to be done to him or to any woman
or child-and l am delighted to see
how many young boys and girls have
come forward to obtain honora Die
marks of recognition on this OCCASION
if any effectual good is to be done to
them it must BE done 10y teaching and
encouraging them and helping them to
help themselves. All the people who
pretend to take your own concerns out
of your own hands and to do every
thing for you. won't say they are inn
posters; l won't even say they are
quacks; but l do say they are mistaken
people. The only sound. healthy de-
scription of countenancing and assist
ing these institutions is that which
teaches independence and self-eXer-
ton.
There is no better kind of exertion
than this. 1t is good for your health
and good for your independence, be-
cause, though a garden is not very
large thing in the life of cottager, it
is very considerable element of indie
pendence, as well as of comfort, pleas
ure and satisfaction, when well man
aged and of proper size. 1t makes a
sensible addition to his means of liv-
ing: and, for my part. | sometimes
hope that you, many of you, may live
to see the day when there will be no
such thing in this country as cottage
without a garden.

Mr.. Gladstone is in favor of
preaching without book, either extern
pore. or from memory, and he thinks
that the preacher ought to regard the
audience as one person who Is to be
addressed, rebuked, encouraged and
won. He says: THE problem is
how, in the face of the press. the
tribune, the exchange, and the club, the
multiplied solicitations of modern
life, to awaken in full the dormant
powers of the pulpit. which, though it
has lost its exclusive privileges, is as

A. Ii. Blanchard, who Intentionally shot
himself at Sushan Wednesday morning,
died Thursday afternoon. Coroner Clark
held an inquest, and verdict in accord
ance with the facts was rendered. The

native of Sceodack, Rensselaer, county.
He was member of the twenty-second

While at the south he married Virginia
