tons First prices which were about the same as
those of last evening. we're followed by general
small decline and that by subsequent rally. And
so the market fluctuated all day, each reaction
marking lower prices than the preceding de-
cline had done.
Among the stocks which suffered the most was
Northern Pacific preferred, which closed per cent
lower than il did last evening on the anuouneemens
that at the meeting OF the companys directors to-
dav nothing but routine business was done, ana
that the question of dividend was not subject Oh
discussion. The board does not meet again uhtli
next November. There has been no foundation ZOE

THE TEsTlNG or SEEDS A correspond
cnt OF the Germantown Telegraph advises
farmers of the expediency of testing the
terminating powers of the seeds which
they intend to SOW this spring, and says
II learned by dear bought experience
last spring that it would not do to depend
upon appearance alone in the matter of
sowing oats. put IN six acres with as
nice, bright oats as ever was, and for
aught knew perfectly clear of any bad
smell; but it failed to terminate, or at
least not moro than one third of it ever
came up. consequently resolved never
again to SOW oats without first trying if
it would properly terminate, which is
very easily done by taking handful and
putting it in vessel filed with earth and
setting it in warm place. If It does not
show evident signs Of growing in eight
or ten days. would procure other seed
and thus save much veXation and trouble,
beside the loss consequent upon reaping
crop of weeds instead of grain.
also. as to the matter of saving seed
corn. My practice for several years past
has been to select tho best and ripest cars
of corn in the fall when we arc gathering
the general crop, and place them on slated
shelves, where they will lay exposed to the
air so the heart may be perfectly dry before
extreme freezing weather sots in. Last
fall VIC adopted different plan, selecting
the corn as usual, but instead of placing
the cars on shelves, we nailed narrow
strips on the under side Of the ioist, in a
warm wagon house, and piled the ears up
to the loor. Space is thus economical,
and it has the advantage Of warmer
atmosphere through the winter. This
perhaps is tho best plan in such an almost
unprecedented cold winter rs the last.
