How to Save Seed.

G. F. Needham of Washington writes
to the Rural World as follows:
"How to prevent crops from deterior-
ating is most important question, lying
at the foundation of all agricultural and
horticultural prosperity: Natures lawis
multiply and replenish.' no matter as
to the particular quality. The survival of
the fittest' governs the result. But na.
lures operations are too slow for our:
short lives, so the business of the culti-
yator is to aid mother nature, and taus
reach the best results, in. the shortest
periods.
cit is fact too we'll known that or
dinarily crops deteriorate, and this, for
one reason, because the seed becomes
weakened. The storvo of, Dreer's impro--
we'd Lima bean will Illustrate the idea
an explain the whole .modQs operandiiof
saving of seed.
"Some years ago gardener asked our
Mr.. Saunders how he could improve the
Lima bean. He was>told to find, if;pos-
sible, pod having at least foru beans;
the next season to plant the one, the
largest and best of these; the next season
to select as before. one bean, the one

largest and best, but the one that could
method for several wears The result we
all know lisa really great improvement of
that delicious vegetable.
Zone has asked why are our melons so
inferior nowadays The answer is that
pains are not taken in saving the seed.
There is variety of muskmelon sold by
one, of our seeds-men, the Hunter
melon, which illustrates this point. A
Mr.. Hunter received, years since, from
abroad, seeds OF a very choice melon.
These were planted land the seeds of only
the very bestwefe saved. In this manner
has the seed been selected, and now. after
more than twenty years, this variety COM
mands the highest price in our markets,
and the seed sells for So per pound, while
other varieties can be had for so cents,
I and are dear at that.

ears. OF course, this nine-fold increase.
came from selecting the seed, at first. of
a stalk that bore. two good ears; then
there would be few with three ears
and SO ON till the grand result was reached.
| I Know that many farmers say that it
they can get one good ear on each stalk
| they will be satisfied. Well, such are
| not very particular, and will buy corn
from a neighbours crib and plant the best
of this. OF course, they get only an or
| binary crop. Is not this the reason that
growing Indian corn has become such a
poor and unpaying business? For my
part, will let the idiots grow this corn,
| and will purchase it in the fall for less
than So per barrel.
eve have many new varieties of wheat,
but if were growing it would screen
| out from one hundred bushels. one BUSH
| ell of the largest and plumpest berries,
and sowing this, would the next season
do likewise, and would ultimately get the
very best seed wheat. There is one 9TH
er idea involved in this matter to which
we all need to take heed. 1t is the seed
| that ifApoverishes the soil. The more
seed the greater the drain, and therefore
! the greater need of fertillzing.

Hamilton B. Staples read a paper at the
annual meeting IF the American Antigua

in which he discussed the origin of the
names of several of the states. His con-
illusions were as follows: New Hampshire
gets its name from Hampshire, England.
Massachusetts, is derived from an Indian
name, first given to the bay, signifying
near the great hills" Rhode Island has
an obscure origin. the Island of Rhodes"
the island of the Roads," and o Dutch
origin, Red Island. were mentioned, the
first seeming to have the best historical sup
port. Connecticut is an Indian name, sig
nifying Gland on a long tidal river" New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland were passed over. Virginia,
the Carolinas, and Georgia have royal orr
gin. Maine was named from the fact that
it was supposed to contain the "mayne por-

Money Cheap N the Vest.

TIOm Tue 1uuldUapOji5 luleS
One of the best informed bank presi-
dents of this city, in conversation with
Times reporter yesterday, stated as re-
markable fact that now. for the first time in
many years, money is as low in the western
states as in the financial centers of the east.
1t is loaned in New York at 6 per cent,
with a commission of one. sixteenth and a
fraction higher per day for carrying, while
in Cincinnati loans are made at 5 per cent,
and in this city at per cent, at the same
time that higher rates are prevailing in the
east. This is partly due, he thought, to
the large investments in railroad stocks and
securities of all kinds which have been
made in the Eastern cities, but another
reason is the wealth of the country, the
great bulk of the surplus money, is to be
found west Of the Alleghanies. There is
at the present time, and probably will be
for the future. more money from Chicago
to the Pacific than there is between Chicago
and the Atlantic. The Western people are
now in better shape, have less borrowed
money, and more of them have little sur
plus than ever before; and the deposits in
the West are increasing faster than they. do
in the East in a legitimate way.

How Tomatoes are Canned.

The Lewiston Me- Journal says.
The big tomato barbecue has begun in
Auburn. If the lover of this vegetable
wishes to see the tomato scalded and
scarifed and fayed and hacked and
gashed and squeezed and jammed and
squashed and Unfortunately abused
until it loses all semblance to- shape or,
identity, then boiled, and afterward
suffocated in an alright tin can, let him
suppress his emotions and stroll down
to the river bank behind Roak block,
Auburn, where the Durham Packing
company commenced operations Friday.
The tomato goes in smooth. plump, and
glowing In few minutes it is lost in an
oozy, steaming mass of hot pulp, to be
slowed away for the delectation of the
winter palate. About seventeen acres
of tomatoes were planted for the packing
company. If the plants yield well they
VII put up 10000 cans, a large part of
which have been sold in advance. In
the northern part of the county the
growers report they have had an abund-
ance of rain, and the crop has not yet
ripened. In the southern part of the
county the crop has suffered sorely from
drought. The tomatoes are there f1pen-
ing, and in some places before they are
fully grown. The yield has begun to
come forward, and the packing factory
has started on small scale. The grow
ers are paid 80 cents per bushel of sixty
pounds. The company has fitted and
enlarged building on the river bank,
and built a platform for baths. 1t is sup
piled with steam from Gross boilers.
Twenty people are employed at the
start. When the crop comes in
more rapidly the number will be in
creased to fifty. Some of the workmen
have been employed in other factories.
Others are green hands. The foreman
has been in the business fourteen years
The tomatoes are first dumped into large
shoal pans. They are set in steaming
tank and are scalded for two minutes.
| This process makes them peel easily.
They are promptly passed over to a
crew of women with knives, who dexter
ously remove the skin without regard to
any superstitious sensltiveness on the
| tomatoes part. When peeler gets her
pan full. a man takes it to small but

came one.
The second bull is then ready for tor
ture. 1t is not the same fight exactly,
for there are accidental differences.
There are many horses killed, but the
death of the bull is certain. The last
bull is dead now, and as you look into
the calm, clear sky, you ask yourself in
fearful kind of inquiry, "How did you
like it?" Youare halfafraid ofyour own
reply, The man who offers you tickets
for the next bull fight, which is to take
4 a customer, lust for the opportunity Of
studying the whole thing more calmly"
AS for me, l will never see another bull
fight as long as live.

been the result of setting the plants out
late, which is sometimes matter of ne
cessity when the weather is dry in
spring. Plants that are set out in the
fall are usually put in when the dry spell
is over and the weather cool. A plenti-

young plants, and should the conditions

1t is not freezing that damages, but the
frequent change from freezing to thaw-
ing that causes loss. After the plants
have well rooted, and just previous to
mulching, they should receive good
dressing of we.l-rotted manure and ash
es, and when uncovered in the spring
the plants should be kept clean, but
should not be worked below the surface.
and not at all unless the grass begins to
get Roadway. They should not be al
lowed to throw out runners the first
year. nor should the blossoms be allowed
to remain. Should the necessity arise
for using the cultivator, care should be
taken to disturb the plants as little as
possible, though they must be kept free
from grass or weeds. On hard soils they
will bear heavier hoeing or cutivating,
which benefits them in time of draught.
When set in the fall they pass through
the succeeding year better than when
put out in the spring, but bear no sooner.

Useful Things to Know.

The white of an egg has proved of late
the most efticacious remedy for burns.
Seven or eight successive applications
of this substance soothes the pain and
effectually excluded the burned parts
from the air. This simple remedy seems
far preferable to collodlum or even cot
ton.
Silver, in constant use, should be
washed every day in pan of suds made
of good white soap and warm water,
drying it with cid soft linen cloths.
Twice week (after this washing give
it a thorough Frightening with finely
powdered whiting, mixed to a thin paste
with alcohol, rubbing longer and harder
where there are stains. Then wipe this
off and polish with clean, soft old, linen.
A very easy way to poach eggs is to,
get boiling water in your muffin tins and
set them on the hottest part ofthc stove !;
break the eggs in saucer, then drop
one in each tin; in two or three minutes
they will be done, and can be taken up
one, at a time in good shape with the
help of small strainer; season with
butter, pepper and salt.
Horace Walpole in one of his letters
says: "Use little alum about once or
twice II week, no bigger than half your
nail, till it has all dissolved in your mouth
and then spit it out. This has fortified
my teeth, that are strong as the pen of
Junius. l learned it of Mrs. Grosvenor
who had not speck in her teeth till
her death.
PLACE AT TABLE.-The guest of honor,
if she be lady, is seated at the right of
the host; if gentleman, at the right Of
confusion may be avoided by having a
little card at each plate inscribed with
the name of the person who is, to occupy
the place. If these cards are tastefully
decorated they form pleasant souvenirs
of the dinner party, each guest retaining
the card on his plate.
