Seed Corn.

At this season of the year the in-
quiries concerning seed corn are
numerous, and it gives us much
pleasure TO record tho fact, for it is
indicative of a growing interest in
most vital part Unsuccessful agricul-
ture. While good seed, without the
proper preparation of the soil and
proper culture, will not be enough
to insure crop, without good seed
all else can certainly not assure it.
Until comparatively recently this
has been subject which strangely
enough has received but little at
tention, and it would be startlingly
interesting, if we could know the
aggregate of loss which has been en-
tailed upon the farming community
through the apparent belief that a
kernel of grain was all that was nec-
essary for seed. But the case is
vastly different now, and It is a cause
for congratulation that 1t is. No
doubt there is still great deal of
carelessness in the selection Of seed,
but it is in no wise as great as it was
once among intelligent farmers.
Perhaps there may be exceptions
which, while they do not show
themselves in a total disregard of
the importance of carefully select
ing, are marked by failure to re-
cognize all the principles which
enter into the make up of perfect
seed, and very important principle
is that which makes the rule: Like
begets like. Now small, naturally
shriveled kernel of grain, from an
excellent variety, with established
permanence of characteristics, may
produce perfect grain, but much
greater certainty of such result may
be relied upon if perfect, fully de-
veloped seed is sown or planted.
Indeed under favorable conditions
such seed will reproduce itself. 1t
is not enough, as the experienced
reader well knows, that a grain of
corn be large, to insure reproduc-
tion of itself. With all cultivated
plants there is tendency to degen-
crate unless forced into progression
or fixedness. 1t requires a great
deal of patience and labor to Ak the
characteristics of new grain, and
when they have become fixed, the
farmer who owns such grain should
seek to maintain them by most
careful selection Of seed for future
Western Rural.

Fly SWIFTLY ONWARD.
BY NINA JACKSON.

Oh, weary houR, take thy flight;
I'm weary Of this endless pain,
This restlessness of heart and brain,
And long for peace again to reign,
Oh. take thy onward flight.
And sorrow. too, begone;
Thy chilling breath has slain my flowers,
And turned to tears my April showers,
And shadowed all nv sunny hours;
with all thy gloom, begone.
Will not thy shadows flee?
I'm longing for that golden dream,
That, like the yellow sunlight's beam
Falls, sometimes, 'thwart life's hurrying
stream,
And leaves a ray of light.
WHY cloud thus all my JOY.
You've taken all the smiles away
That turned December into May;
1t seems my heart you've turned astray,
With all this Woe.
Oh! tarry not so long;
With haunting memories there you
stand,
Hopes withered flowers In your hand,
A mocking, helpless, shadowy band.
Oh. haste thee on thy way.
Fly swiftly onward, dreary hours;
You bring your phantoms of the past,
Like leaflets, dropping In the blast,
And chill me with thy gloom ut last;
Fly onward, slowly dragging hours.

If you wish to'promote the 'happi-
ness and welfare of your family,
especially that of your children in
coming years, supply them with
good books and papers, for the
minds of the young cannot remain
empty; they must be stored with
good or evil I; and If you do not pro-
vide them with good reading, you
may well expect them to procure
elsewhere, that which is worse than
none. 1t is Of immense Importance
TO both old and young, that they
have access to good books and news.
papers. DR.. Holmes says, "bread
and the newspapers We must have,
whatever else we do without" The
best wealth is of the heart. They
are not only the wealthiest, but the
happiest also, who have the largest
stock of wisdom, virtue and love,
who pity the unfortunate, find good
in all men, and who cling closely to
their family and friends. Though
you have piles of gold, yet you can.
not feel either happy or wealthy as
you depart to that land where you
will abide forever, unless you leave
a legacy of noble deeds done in the
name of humanity, examples of
ne;ghborly love, lessons of patience
in suffering and adversely, and of
heavenly confidence when no sun
beam fell upon your path.

CERES, April 18th, 1880.
EDITOR JOURNAL I'VE are hav-
ing one of he--heaviest rain storms
OF the season. 1t has rainod for
days and still raining. All the San
Joaquin valley can now count on q
good crop of wheat, think, this
season. 1t is not often we get such
heavy rains, and so general at this
time of year; late sowed wheat will
probably do as well as the summer
fallow, as it will baye less weeds and
not be so apt to lodge.
Building is going on all along the
line of the railroad more than usual,
and prospect of steady growth of
the towns along the line never was
better.
Land has gone up in this county
to about twice the value of two
years ago, and farmers making good
buildings to stay with, but the great
part of land is owned by large land
holders, and rented out and of
course the improvements on such
places will be less and the dry years
freeze out the "small fry" and it
seems TO go more and more into the
hands of the large holders that dry
years do not use up; but, all things
considered, in my opinion there is
no better region for wheat in the
States than the Sacramento aud San
Joaquin valleys; 1t costs less to put
in and take off than at the east, and
we have all dry weather to harvest
and thrash, and can take all the time
we like to do it in and not be afraid
cf showers and grown wheat.
The ground is full of water, and
still it comes. If it was not so late
we might anticipate a California
food or grand overflow of rivers.

Written By John Walker op the death
of HE father, who died on the 5th Of
April. 1851, at Lindsay. Ontario.
He ia gone, the bravest of the brave,
He hss finished his career;
But the re lies of his labor
For centuries will appear.

The forest first 10 clear,
And Ops viii long remember
Her brave old pioneer.
o, nv sisters and my brothers,
Had the solace 10 be there,
But alas, the least that i can do
Is TO offer up PRAYER.
Though distance has deprived me
From the raising Of his bier,
1 hope 10 kneel yet by his grave,
And shed the silent tear.
i have one rosebud buried there
With marble at her head;
Since other ties around me grew
L scarce can think her dead;
The flower long slumb'ring there,
Was once my only pride;
But now she is not lonely
For grand-ps's by her side.
III strew bright flowers sround their
grave,
With tears bedew the sod
That wraps the clay of youth and age,
Since their souls have flown to God,
Their faithful bodies calmly rest
Like those long gone before;
Their souls. triumphant, live with God
On that Mysterious Shore.

NebrnSka.

Another evidence of the richness
of the soil of Nebraska is found in
the fact of the number and great
growth of the native grasses, which
afford the very best pasturage from
early spring until the month of No
vember. Those who have investi-
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer than one
hundred and fifty species. Among
other varieties the blue-joint grows
everywhere in the State except on
the low bottom lands. In ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi-
tions its growth ia from two and a
half to four feet, and often on culti-
vated grounds it will grow to the
height Of seven and ten feet. On the
up-lands, blue-joint grows in great
abundance and is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo grass now in the
greatest quantity is found in the
western half Of the State. This, 1t is
claimed, disappears before cultiva-
tion, but 1t is natures PROVISION OF
food for grain-eating animals during
winter, when the animals are COM
PEELED to remain OH the prairie. as il
retains its nutriment all the year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundsntly in the State are
several varieties of bunch grass and
in the low lands native blues grass,
and what is known as the spangle.
top, which makes an excellent quail
ity of hay.
1t was question among the first
settlers of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully grown in the
State or not, but finding the wild
fruits, such as plums, grapes, and
gooseberries growing in abundance,
it was thought that apple orchards
might be cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the earlier settlers in
the eastern part of the State planted
their orchards and their first plant
ings failed, but they perseyered and
the result has been complete sue
cess. Nebraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced in
other states. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va, one
hundred and forty-siX varieties Of
apples, fifteen of peaches, thirteen Of
pears, one of plums, and one of
grapes, and was awarded the first

wherever natures conditions of
growing fruit are observed.
