What is Gained by Crossing Seeds.

1t is a common practice with horti-
culturists to obtain seeds from another
place having very different soil, SO as
to avoid raising plants for a long sue
cession of generations under the same
conditions; but with all the species
which freely inter-cross by the aid of
insects or the wind, it would be an in
comparably better plan to obtain seeds
of the required variety, which had been
raised for some generations under as
different conditions as possible, and sow
them in alternate rows with seeds ma
tured in the old garden. The two stocks
would then inter-cross with thorough
blending of their whole organizations,
and with no loss of purity to the variety;
and this would yield far more favorable
results than mere exchange of seeds.
Mix seeds of the same variety, grown in
different localities, to grow your seeds.
Of plants which mix freely by wind and
insects we have Indian corn, clover,
beans, peas, beets, cabbage and the
like, radishes, turnips, carrots, celery,
cucumbers, squashes, melons, lettuce,
onions, parsnips, satisfy, tomatoes (the
latter to some extent).
The writer has been trying expert
ments in this way with corn, beans and
apples. The gain in dent corn thus
crossed was as 153 to 100, and with black
wax beans as 236 to 100. By raising 2
seed in the manner suggested we in
crease the yield of ripe seeds from 100
to 236; surely an item we'll worth look
ing after. L have now seed corn and
seed beans, so crossed last year, for
further test the coming ssason.-P,o-
(essor W. j. BeGl.

Family Hotels.

The fondness of Americans for living
at hotels has often been commented on
by Europeans, particularly by English
men, who rarely stay at a hotel except
when travelling and who almost never
make it home. While our national
habit, as it has been called, has been
greatly exaggerated, there is no doubt
that we are more addicted than any Old
World people to hotel life, owing to
various conditions which do not exist
abroad. Our hotel life is better ordered
than it used to be. Within two or three
years a new kind of hotel, known as the
private family hotel, has sprung up in
this city, and has proved SO popular that
it is certain to multiply. Hotels of this
stamp are new to the country and as un-
like our great teeming caravansaries as
they well can be and retain the same
name. They receive no transient people;
their rooms are divided into suites, usual
ly rented by the year, and often furnished
by the occupant. There is regular
restaurant, at which the patrons take
their meals (each family, or set, at a
small table, always reserved), paying a
fixed price, generally fourteen dollars
week for each person. The suites for
one or two commonly consist of par
bathroom; but they are larger, of
course, when intended for family.
Most of the patrons are married couples
who have no children, or whose chill
dren have grown up or are away at
school, though some families with small
children like these hotels as well as
private houses, and say they have the
same advantages. There are at present
six or seven family hotels here, all in or
near Fifth Avenue, and they are so
much approved that they are continually
full, except, of course, in summer, when
their renters are out of town. They
seem destined to become favorite
mode of living. They are not cheap;
but they are not very dear, as these
things 60. They are rather less ex-
pensive than the great hotels would be,
and have far more comfort for anybody
who cares for quiet. Persons that have
tried housekeeping year after year have
adopted the family hotel and prefer the
change. There are so many difficulties
in the way of home-making in this city,
Notwithstanding that they are materi-
ally less than they have been, that the
new sort of hotel may be regarded as
one of the repeated essays toward i'm
provement. The chief trouble here is
the cost of living, especially of rent.
Persons who have liberal incomes or
earnings are relieved from any number
of household cares. But those depend
enton ordinary salaries have of ofnecessity
constant struggle.-N. Y. Times.
