TERMINATION.

1t was proved, says Nature, a short time
ago, that several kinds of seeds will germi-
nate between pieces of ice. A full nvestiga-
ton of the lower limit of temperature at
which plants may germinate has recently
been made by M. Haberlandt (Ccnh'alblatt
tur Agriculture CHenaie.). The experiments
were upon Wheat, Rye, Barley, Red Beet,
Rape, Lucerne, Poppy, and many other
seeds. Several hundred seeds were en-
ployed of each species, and every fourteen
days the seeds We're taken out of the ice
chest, whose temperature was kept constant
between % and ? Centigrade, and exam
iled in a space whose temperature was un-
der freezing point In forty-tive days de-
cIded beginning of termination was OBJ
served in the eight different species (Which
afe named). In four months it had con-
tinued to progress in a minority Of these ;
the rest had stopped. In fourteen species
there was no termination. NJ. Uaberlandt
is Of opinion that those seeds which can
gelminate at q lower temperature than 9th
ers and thus by artificial sowing in cold
specs means is at hand of obtaining spe-
cies soon ripe and needing little heat. OF
all the seeds which had remained for four
months in the ico-case, only few were
found capable of development when brought
int a warmer temperature of 16o Cent?
grade (6lo F.).

REPELLING GRAIN WEEyIL,.

In answer to inquiry, would say that the
only way to get rid Of the weevil is to keep
grain in clean place, and to spread out un-
til thoroughly cured, so as to avoid heating.
1t is very difficult to clean place where
Weevil has been prevalent, as they and other
grain pests, hide in the cracks and seams of
the bin, and no cold of winter will certainly
kill them. The germ Of the weevil is often
in grain that to all appearance is perfectly
sound, and only awaits a suitable amount of
moisture and heat to develop. In grain
houses our only remedy, when we have i'll
tested grain, is to screen frequently, and try
to keep cool till winter. know Of nothing
to kill weevil in grain that will not recon-
mend storing III a new place, far enough
from where the infested grain was kept to
prevent them crawling to it. | have often
put weevils on the floor at some distance
from a pile of grain, and they would make
a bee-line for the nearest lot-never 90
away from it. They will sometimes fly
when in the hot sun, but not often. | once
made a test by taking about a pint of sound
wheat from boat-load, in which | could
find no indication OF weevil, and after sitting
very thoroughly in a coarse hahd-sieve, l
put in glass jar and sealed it very tight.
In a few weeks it was alive with large and
small weevils 1.-TWO linds), and they lived for
more than year in this tight jar. This was
a season when there was a great deal of
wheat troubled with weevl. Ordinarily
when wheat is dry and cool the weeyils do
not injure it. The surest way to keep grain,
after it is dry and very thoroughly cleaned,
is to keep it in dark place.-H. III. L., IN

DOMESTIC Ec0N0MY.
DISH WATER AND DISH WASHING.

These are the most discouraging elements
of lousework! ! | say this awful truth be-
case have proved it, you have proved it,
yotr neighbors have proved it and the
stnnger within your gates has sighed be-
case Of the disheartening truth. Don't
anfbody attempt to contradict me. Don't
eyn shake your head. [ know it, and it
mikes me cross to have anybody make the
renotest intimation that my word or knowl-
ed'e admits OF a doubt.
The sweeping and the busting is discour-
agng enough, but there is this consolation.
It's not the same dirt which you swept be-
foe.
Washing is bad enough, but the dreadful
mnotony can be broken by high winds,
bnken lines, snow squalls and scrubbing
Iroling is hard enough, but the clothes are
sometimes too dry, sometimes too wet, irons
tooaot or too cold.
Ooking is awfully tame, but it is not the
sare flour, the same sugar, the same eggs,
theame soda, the same salt, and SO on to
