Large Grain for Seed.

The first nutrimeut young plant gets is
from the decay of the starchy matter around
the germ. This is always small, and in
shrunken, shriveled grain the plant puts
forth more feebly. No subsequent manuring
or fertility in the soil can entirely make up
for the lack of this food at the start, because
it is not possible for any other manure to be
in close contact with the germ and root.
Farmers are usually very particular in select
ing seed for corn but with other grains re-
quiring larger amount of seed per acre, less
care is taken. The result is that corn thus
selected rarely deteriorates, while other
grains almost always do. Our hot, dry sum-
mers are bad enough at the best for such
moisture loving grains as oats and barley but
the tendency to shrivel the grain is aggrava-
ted greatly by sowing imperfect seed as also
by too thick seeding. 1t is doubtful whether
thick seeding increases the crop; but if it did
it would still be good policy to sow small
piece thinly with perfect seed, free from foul
stuff as seed for the following year. Some
thing can easily and cheaply be done for the
main crop by running the seed carefully
through tanning mill, blowing over all the
light and imperfect seed and saving only the
heaviest. In this way barley weighing fifty to
ffty-two pounds per bushel can be winnowed
from any lot of fair weight, and the refuse is
worth nearly as much for feed as it were
heavier. have no doubt that any farmer
dong this by all grain-crops would secure
reputation as seed grower, which would
give his crop ready sale to neighboring
farmers at remunerative prices. Clean
and perfect seed is the great need of all farm
ers at present, and as increased attention is
given to improved banning. the demand
will keep pace WITH the importance of
good seed as the foundation of all success in
grain-growing.

Facts about whipping Horses.

Horses are whipped great many times
when the whip should be well laid on the per-
son instead of the horse, A great many
horsemen seem to think that spirited an
imal must be whipped and clubbed until his
will is broken Professor D. Magner, the
illustrious horsetamer, used to say to his class
in New York city that no mistake can be
greater than this; and there is nothing that
so fulley exhibits the ability, judgment and
skill of the real horseman as the care and tact
displayed in winning, instead of repelling, the
action Of the mind. Although it may be
necessary to use the whip sometimes, it
should always be applied judciouly; and
great care should be taken not to rouse the
passion or excite the will to obstinacy. TIE
legitimate and proper use of the whip is cal
culated to operate upon the sense of fear
almost entirely. The affections or better
nature must be appealed to in training a
horse as well as in training child. A re-
proof given may be intended for the good of
the child, but if only the passions are excited
the effect is depraving and injurious. This
is vital principle, and can be disregarded in
the management of sensitive, courageous
horses only at the risk of spelling them. Ihave
known many horses of naturally gentle char
acter to be spoiled by being severely whipped,
and one horse that was made vicious by being
struck with whip once while standing in
his stall. have referred to these instances
to show the danger of rough treatment and
the effect that may be easily produced by i'll
usage, especially upon fine blood horses and
those of highly nervous temperament.
Sensitive horses should never be left after
they have been excited by whipping or other
means until calmed down by rubbing or pat
ting the head or neck, and giving apples,
sugar, or something OF which the auimal is
fond. Remember, the whip must be used
with great care, or it is liable to do mischief
it will be hard to overcome by the most care
full and patient treatment. Whenever a
horse is struck with a whip the driver should
feel assured that the animal understands for
what offence he is whipped. When person
