Seed Failures.

1t is not alone in the failure of seed
corn that farmers crops are short this
year. The failure is evidently general.
The greatest failure in proportion to the
intended crop is in cane seed. 1t IS go
ing to be the cause of a great back-set
in the expected advance in sugar and
strip making this fall. There is also
universal complaint of the thinness of
wheat, which is evidently mainly to be
attributed to the failure of the seed to
terminate. There has been also a gen.
eral complaint of the failure of garden
and flower seeds. And none of this can
be laid to the charge CT a cold, wet Or
unfavorable May, the month of the
termination of nearly all farm or gar
den seeds. It was particularly favora-
BILE in condition of soil, and suitable
sunshine and showers. Most of the de-
fects in seeds must be attributed to the
early freeze last fall, before seeds were
perfected and dried out. Freezing seeds
when in an imperfect Or damp condi-
ton is fatal to their vitality. The loss
to Iowa this year is enormous. And yet
it could all have been avoided by pru-
dent care.
In the first place seed-corn should be
gathered from the field so soon as the
earliest and best ears are fully out OF
milk. This can be done late in August
or early in September. Then dry it out
thoroughly in the sun. Do not mo-
ment imagine that it is best to hang it
up or lay it away in the shade. There is
nothing equal in giving vitality or pre-
pairing it to stand the terrible freezing
of our winters like sunshine. And more
sunshine would ripen in a proper way
our children, young men and young
women. And sunshine will even give
yigor and elasticity to old age. When
the corn and cob is thoroughly dry put
it away where it will keep dry, and
there will be no discount on its vitality
next spring. And the same process
will perfect and preserve all kinds of
seeds and grain. And no farmer should
risk his crops or his property upon
doubtful seeds.
But farmer s.nould not rely too GER
tainly on the care he has taken OF the
seed grain. It may have been exposed
to currents of air in the changes of tenn
peratrre, when it would get damp and
BY a sudden depression the atmosphere
freezes it before it dries off. So every
farmer should make fair test long be-
fore seed time, SO if anything has been
fatal or even injurious, he would have
time to procure other seed. The lesson
of this year is serious one,. involving
the loss of many millions, and it should
suffice for a decade at least. And the
time is Just at hand when corn, cane and
other seed will demand attention.

81 Hints to Flax.Gr0Wers.

The Minnesota Linseed Oil Company
has issued the following letter of advice
to its patrons respecting the cutting and
curing of fax, and the hints here given
are applicable to all places where flax is
grown for the seed:
First, cutting-When mostof the bolls
and lower partsof the stalks have turned
Yellow and the seeds have turned
Slightly brown, and the lower leaves
have dropped off, it is ready to harvest.
At this stage it will cut as easily as
wheat. Be careful not to cut before
ripe. Unripe seed can not be properly
filed out, and must fall short in weight.
Use, smooth knife in your reaper.
Cut high-only low enough to get all
second, shocking Set it up as soon
as cut, in gavels. 1t may be handled
the same as barley or buckwheat; but,
better still, bind with self-binder and
shock. the same as wheat. This treat
ment makes threshing easy and pays
well. p.
Third, stacking.-Flax cures very fast,
and in good drying weather may be
stacked the day after cutting. Don't
waste q day after it IS ready, Tor a
threshing-machine or anything else' but
stack. stack, if you want to save your
crop. Build good, solid stack, always
keeping full in the center-heads in and
butts out-and top off with prairie hay.
STAGES must not be disturbed for two or
Aree weeks, or more, until the flax is
throuah the sssweat,'' which leaves the
iced heavier and better. -

Storing and Keeping Potatoes.

VI late years the potato has been ona
OF the most profitable of farm-crops in
the East, and this chiefly arises from the
1acC mat IL Is somewhat difficult to keen
any great quantity of them. Thus only
SO many are grown as can be preserved.
ana as the accommodations are limited
tneresl rs no giut In the market, as there
are WIN Things which are grown and
must De sent to market at once. OF
course there are times, when. potatoes
rule low. This is apt to be the case
WIN early ones, grown especially for
carry purpose, and which follow the
same law that rules In transient veoeta-
pies. 80 also those who grow potatoes
ana nave no .conveniences for storing
them. These have to market in the fall,
ana nave to take whatever price may
rule Tor them. Those who have good
cellars under their barns, or in any place
safe from frost and yet cool and dry.
can generally make potato growing pay
very Well; and these are usually the
ones who do.
In Old times large quantity of pota-
toes We're stored out of doors in the open
ground. They were arranged in long
rldges, not in great bulk, as even a mass
OF potatoes will heat, and covered with
earth sufficiently thick to keep out the
frost. But since the appearance of the
potato disease, this plan is not much
followed, though the rotting has of late
been very much diminished. The in
fected tubers will often rot, especially if
the mass heats a little, and the diseased
ones will often communicate the disease
10 the rest. In a cellar this can be seen
and noted, but in mound out of doors
no one knows of the trouble till spring,
when great loss has been found.
Besides this, it is so difficult to get at
them in winter that those who have no
way to preserve potatoes except this, as
general thing prefersnpt to grow at all
rather than to be bothered with this.
Dampness undoubtedly favors the
spread of the potato disease, and there
fore where there is any chance at all of
the disease existing i'll the roots, they
ought to be stored as dry as possible.
Those which are to be kept in this gen.
eral way should be dry and cool, but
this should be especially seen to in the
case OF seed potatoes. Since the potato
beetle came among us it is clear that we
have had the very best results from early
planting, and by the use of the earliest
varieties. Now these early kinds are
more easily affected bywarmth than the
late ones. They sprout easily, and
GOODNESS is therefore the more essential
for them. Some people think it makes
little difference whether seed potatoes
sprout Or not before planting. We have
known people tear off sprouts several
inches long, and cut up the, tubers in
full faith that they will sprout'out again
and be none the worse for it. They do
generally grow; but there is little doubt
they are constitutionally weaker, and
much more liable to disease than those
which do not sprout till ready to go in
the ground GerDaantoc2a IczegruDh.

The vast wealth of the Rocky Noun.

The vast wealth of the Rocky Noun
tains region has come to be an acknowl-
edged fact, so far as gold and silver are
concerned, but the bulletin of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Association speaks
of recent iron discoveries in the south of
Utah which will prove a source of i'm
mense income to the country. The dis
covered metal comprises, so far as
known, thirty-eight mountains, consist
ing entirely of magnetic and specular
iron ore, which yields from 50 to g. per
cent. metallic iron. To supplement this
find, large beds of coal were discovered
in the same vicinity.

A Good Word for Insects.

The Rev. j. G. Wood, of England, in
a lecture before the Chester Society of
Natural Science, expressed the belief
that there is no insect, however insignif-
cant it may appear, or however noxious
we may think it, which is not directly or
indirectly benefit to mankind. It is
only not yet appreciated. The grand
object of insect life is to eat, and by eat
ing or scavengering'' insects render
the earth fit for higher creatures to in
habit. If we could see the whole field
of insect existence we should know how
to properly appreciate them, and should
be patient over the necessity of guarding
against their occasional excuses or in
references with our higher needs. A
savage wearing no clothes does not
appreciate the silkworm. He does not
want it's cocoon, but he wants the null
berries, which it destroys by eating the
leaves. A child stung by bee dislikes
and fears the hive until it finds what
produce Of sweet honey it can obtain
from it by cautious treatment. The
dragon-fy or .so-called "snake-feeder'
is a dread to the ,lainfor1ned child,
alarmed by its size, its diabolical beauty
of color and outline, and its lightning
like movement and stop. But the worst
thing it does is to eat and clear away
spiders, which in their turn clear away
flies. Nobody likes cockroaches, which
are found only where there is wasted
food to be cleared away. They also
consume that smaller and yet fatter
and more fetid and hateful insect which
a musician called q s'B fiat and which
under cover of night takes the boldest
liberties with the daintiest flesh and
blood.

The States Of the South, acting after the
manner Of the great railroads, have opened
a bureau for Information as to their re-

The press of the South and West owe it to
themselves to note the growth of their re-

which the press fulills all over the world,
and one Of its highest missions and services to

The Connecticut Valley was form
erly the great broom-corn region of the
country. Now the corn is chiefly raised
on the fertile prairies of the West, ana
Chicago is the principa. market. Once
Northampton, Hadley, Hatfield, and
many town in that vicinity did a
thriving business in the production of
brooms, and largely supplied the coun-
try with these articles. Before the days
of railroading it was not an unusual oc-
currence to send a fifty or sixty-ton load
down the Connecticut on 4 fat-boat to
be reshipped at Hartford by steamer. A
veteran in the business says that he has
sold as many as 1000 brooms within a
month. Massachusetts no longer mo-
nopolizes this business; it is distributed
all over the country, with perhaps the
largest interests conferred in New York
State.

A device has been perfected by H.

"A device has been perfected by H.
M. Albee, of West Oakland, CAL, by
which any one who knows the alphabet
and how to spell can correctly transmit
telegraphic dispatches. The invention
is substitute for the key, which re-
quires training in order to be used. 1t
consists of a piece of metal, in which
are inserted conductors of brass and
non-conductors of whalebone to CORE
spond with the characters of the Morse
alphabet. Each letter or numeral is
divided off and marked. By moving a
metallic pencil over any one of these di-
visions the particular letter or figure is
reproduced at the other end of the line
by means of the insulations and connec-
tons. One stroke suffices for a charac-
ter, while greater precision is obtained
than by the key, as on account of the
mathematical accuracy of Mr.. Albee's
device letters or numbers can not be run
together, as now too frequently occurs.
