allow the plants to branch out and
grow robust. Later on, when the
blossoms appear, all the weaker
plants which do not show a large
number of forms should be pulled
up, so as to confine the seed to
those that are strong and produc-
tive; and all the cotton picked
from these should be set aside, and
carefully ginned by itself. Great
care should be observed that cot
ton intended for seed, be picked
only in dry weather, because if it
is housed in a damp condition it
will be apt to heat and rot. 1t is
in this way that the prolific varie-
ties of cotton are obtained, and
Mr.. Dickson, of Georgia, in his
publication upon cotton culture,
lays great stress upon the necessity
of farmers improving and main
tanning the quality of their seeo in
order to secure good crops.
The preservation of seed is not
as carefully looked after by most
farmers as it should be. Sufficient
care is not taken to insure dryness.
It is of the utmost Importance that
seed be kept secure against damp {;
not only should it be protected
against the access of moisture, but
means should be provided to secure
the evaporation of that which it
contains, when it is brought from
the field. In order to effect this, it
should be spread very loosely in a
dry place, and if 1t is Of a nature
such as will cause it to become
packed, it should be occasionally
turned with a fork; for when it be-
comes heated, as it will if damp, or
in a compact mass, the quality is
injured, and although the seed will
often germinate, and put up at first
green, good-looking plants, yet
these will prove nearly always un-
healthy, and as soon as they begin
TO bloom, will shed many of their
blossoms, without fecundation.
The disastrous shedding in cotton,
and which observent farmers will
often notice in small grain, is fire.
quently attributable, to large ex-
tent, to the fact that the seed was
heated while stored away. Salt
should always be well sprinkled
over seed corn, when it is put away
in the fall, to preserve it from the
attacks of weevils.
Old seed is the best, because,
while being kept, it has passed
through a natural selection of its
own, in that the weakly and imma.
ture seeds, being deficient in vital
ity, have died, and only the strong
est and fully matured have suryiv-
ed. Imperfect seeds seldom pre-
serve their vitality more than six OF
seven months, while mature,
healthy ones will do so for many
years; and, therefore, when farm
ers plant seeds that are two years
old, they will obtain a larger pro-
portion of healthy plants than they
can from seeds grown only the pre-
vious season. They need not be
afraid that sound seeds will not
preserve their vitality; they will dc
so for q much longer period than
many persons suppose.
( Farmers should give this matter
careful attention, and think of the
important bearing that it has upon
the Yields Of their crops. It will
pay an intelligent man much better
than any investment in guano.

Shocking Cruelty Near Baltimore.

BLIND, DUMB AND DIOTIC BOY LEFT TO
STARvE.
Willie Connolly, aged H. blind, dumb and
idiotic son of James Connolly, laborer, of
Woodbury., Baltimore county, was missed by the
neiehbors several weeks ago, and nothing had
been seen of him until yesterday, when he was
found in a room in his fathers house, almost
dead from starvation. He had bitten his hands
in a shocking manner from hunger It seems
that the boy was unable to feed himself and that
his father and mother have of late been drunk
every day, and neglected him. The lad went
around among the neighbors, chewing pieces of
wood. and once or twice made attempts to ex-
plain his hunger. His condition was discovered
by neighbor, whoawondered at his long-con-
tinued illness and the Interpretation of his dis
appearance given blythe drunken parents. The
neighbor entered the house during the absence
OF the parents, and gave the boy who was lying
in a sotlalid bed, her hand, and he ATTEMPTED to
bite it. She then gotla piece of bread and APP
preached the bedside, whereupon the boy sprang
out of the bed and made frantic efforts to seize
the food. The woman wisely refused to give it
to him, and notified the police, who took the
boy to hospital, where he now lies in dying
condition He is literally skeleton, weighing
only forty-fve pounds. The father says that
there was plenty of food in the house, but 1t
appears that he and his wife left it for the other
to care for the lad, and, as q consequence,
he was never fed.
