Sowing Small Seeds.

The many failures we hear of in SOW
ing small seeds, whether of farm crops.
garden vegetables. or of flowers, seem
to render necessary the repetition of the
three essential requisites for success,
namely, finely pulverized covering, a
depth according to the size of the seed.
and moist surface until the plants are
well rooted. l. To bury seeds under
coarse clods of soil would be like throw
ing corn into stone heap, expecting it
to generate and grow. The soil must
be fine. so as TO press against the seeds
and give them moisture; and to impart
this quality it is generally necessary to
add tine manure. A top dressing of
old manure on q field intended to be
seeded to grass, with light and thor
ough narrowing, is often necessary to
tit it for the reception of the seed; and
a similar treatment Is required in SOW
ing any small vegetable seed, such as
celery or lettuce, whether in hot-bed
or in open ground. Some flower seeds
are still smaller, and may need the adj
dition of leaf mould to make the soil
fine enough. 2. Small seeds are some
times buried SO deep that they can
never reach the surface. The depth
should never exceed four or five times
their diameter. Hence the reason that
grass seed should be rolled or lightly
brushed in. and portulaca seeds covered
by sitting fine earth on them. 5. On
large scale moisture is had by early
sowing, and for smaller garden seeds
later in spring by shading the surface
with thin grass or straw mulch. an in
verted pot covering for few days
with coarse sacking or with other SINH.

anly qualities. Miss Clara Barton
who will be remembered for her ser
vices in the Army as nurse, and
Mrs. Woodbridge of Ohio, the Sec
rotary, were among the other ladies
in attendance. The most thrilling
scene OF the session WAS when Miss
Willard took the hand of her moth
er, who had been brought there I'M
known to her, ami in trembling &C
cents introduced her to the audi
ence as ''the dear heart that never
failed me-" She paid an eloquent
tribute to the aged mother who
stood beside her. The scene in the
church was remarkable; not an eye
was dry and many ladies actually
cried aloud. The old lady thanked
the Convention and then kissed her
daughter, whereupon there was a
fresh outburSt of emotion.
Speaking Of kissing, one would
hardly expect to hear much of that
sort of thing in a Convention of
rather strong-minded women. Yet
there was a good deal of it going on.
At one of the sessions Miss Morri-
son, a delicate-looking lady from
Indiana, rose to "a question of priv
ilege," and ascending the platform,
said she wanted to kiss Miss Antho-
ny In the presence of the American
flag and of the picture of Gen. Gar
field, who in the proudest moment
OF his life turned aside to kiss his
wife and mother. Suiting the &C
tion to the word, she gave Susan a
SMACK" that could be heard all
over the church. Evidently the ac-
tion was approved, as nobody object
ed to the question of privilege"
What a pity there are so many of
these old girls limited to kissing
themselves. The ladies did not
leave anybody in the dark as to the
objects Of their organization. They
occupied our pulpits and halls on
Sunday with pleas for temperance
and resoluted most emphatically
against the saloons. They went
down to Mt. Vernon and undertook
to close the bar of the steamboat on
which they made the trip. One of
them was very enthusiastic over
President Arthur. ''Our President
knows how to do the proper thing SO
handsomely, and we all love him."
After that how can he refuse their
request to adopt "no wine" policy
during his stay in the White House.
