RAISE TOUR OWN SEED CORN.

The time To plan for this is now
while the corn crop is going In, or
undcr cultivation. 1t is reasonable
thing to say that a tenth may be
added to the yield of corn on any
farm by using seed that has been
carefully raised for the purpose
Not much attention is paid to the
selection of seed by tie average
farmer. The man who reads and
thinks about the seed used for his
crops, selects the best he can fipd in
his crib at planting time, ard finds
that this pays. 1t pays still better
TO select ears from the field the fall
previous to planting, from stalks
that bear two or rore perfect ears.
y better practice still is to plant the
corn for seed in a suaIl patch by
itself, and guarl it against all the
accidents that must attend its growth.
aud cultts alton in the large fed.
The ground should be especially pre-
pared for this purpose, and made
rich enough to supply all the wants
of the plant. Il should be thorough.
ly cultivated every two or three
weeks, until the grain is full in the
ear. Like produces like, in corn az
in cattle, aud the silk and the tassrl
are both factors in giving character
to the ear, Though the male and
female blossoms in the corn are upon
the same plant, there is no security
for self fertilization when any plant
is grown in the open field. The
police from a barren stalk may fall
upon the ear grown from selected
seed, and this ear may be imperfect,
or be a cob with little or no corn
OH it. II the ears S. lccttd for seed
have been frrtilized by nuhhin
stalk, the nuhbin impcrfection goes
down to posterity. In a small piece
of corn planted remote from other
corn We may guard against the az
cidents of promiscuous fertilization,
and secure, as far-as possible, corn
with good pedigree, and perfect
after its kind. All barren stalks
should be cut out, aud no more stalks
be left in the hill than will give per
feet ears. 1t the owner will select
from this patch the earliest and best
formed ears, for his seed, and follow
up this practice for few years, he
will have new variety and a large
increase in his yi.si of corn.-Ee.

INSECTS on GARDEN VEGETABLES.

In some localities one or more of
| the Cabbage Worms il still trouble
| some. The most common of these
are the caterpillars of medium-sized
butterflies, the wings of which are
white, with few black spots; there
are three distinct species, but all are
similar in their habits. Wherever
these butterflies are seen fitting
abont over the cabbage and cauli-
flower plants, trouble from "worms'
may soon he expected. Safety con-
sists in attacking them early. Some
worms eat into the forming head, and
when they have thus hidden, moth
ing can be done. In small gardens,
manipulating will answer, bnt where
there are MANY cabbagcs, this is not
practicable. The Persian Insect
Powder, the Pyrethruae, is the best,
and a safe application. In former vol
umes We have given the experience
ofthose who have successfully used
hot water, to reach the plant at the
temperature of 1909. There are in
some localities cabbage worms which
come from other butterflies, bu: they
are to be treated in tie same manner.
The large green caterpillar, of the s.
spotted Sphinx, known as the "To-
mato Worm" il most destructive; it
will soon leave nothing but bare
stems upon a tomato plant, eating
the green fruit as we'll as the leaves.
When the tomatoes are supported
by some kind of a trellis, as they al
ways should be IN garden, worms
may be detected by the quantity OF
large pellets Of droppings found upon
the ground. Where these are seen,
the worm should he sought for.
Stems without leaves also indicate its
presence. When not eating, it will
be found close TO the steIas, on their
undersidr, and as it is-of nearly the
same color, may escape notice. The
worms are never very numerous,
and hand-picking is the best way to
deal with them. In spite of the horn
at the tail-end, they can neither
sting nor bite. Frequently one of
these will be found with its body
nearly covered with small egg
shaped white cocoons, often mistaken
tor eggs. Worms with these should
not be destroyed, as they are too
weak to do much damage, and the
parasitic insects should nave time to
leave these cocoons, as they are our
friends, and should be encouraged.
The Ta,nato-~orm may sometimes
ba found ON rotatops.--4naericdn

4 STRANGE STORY OF Death,

| u oAhAS&E SIOh1 VI BEs$lH He
There is very strange story report
ed from East Boston. On Friday,
the 18th instant, there died at the
residence of Amos r. Lovejoy, q
young lady named Hattie G. Craig,
lacking few days only of being
twenty four years OF age. Her deatl,
was proceeded by sickness Of near.
" year, and the disease Of which
she diel was clearly ola consum2tiye
nature. Many Of the circumstances
following the death and preceding
the burial ofti,e young lady are of
peculiarly interesting if not of a dis
trs ssing nature. On the morning OF
the 18th the long-suffering patient
seemed to be rapidly nearing the end
and at IL O'Clock she appeared to
baye bEeathed her last. The eyes of
the young lady were tenderly closed
by her sorrowing grandmother and
the body was left alone with the
weeping father. He remained for
about half I'LL hour in the chamber of
death and then took his leave with
reluctance. just as he had turned
his back upon the beloved form he
was startled by Il movement of the
body and an exclamation simultane-
ously of ''Papa, papa, please don't
leave me-" When he turned around
he saw with delight and astonish-
ment that his daughter was not
corpse, but an actual, living and con-
.cious being, endowed with as much
intellect and strength as at any time
during the last part Of her sickness.
Ofcourse there was now great Joy and
CONSERVATION throughout the house
hold. When she had become some.
what calm Miss Craig, with a smile
and countenance angelic beyond de-
scription, said:
ooh, papa, dear, do you know
where have been?"
"No, Hattie; tell me. where you
have been; let ME know all about it,
answered the overjoyed father
ooh, papa, l have seen heaven,
and l am to have my health restored
to me on certain conditions" she ans.
wercd in great glee.
"What are these conditions, and
are you willing to submit to then?"
asked the father
eyes, papa; certainly am"
''Bnt what are they, dear!" otill
queried the parent.
81 cannot reveal them 10 you now,
papa. But, oh, I saw such beautiful
things in heaven"
"'rcll me, won't you, all about who
and what You saw? Come now, that's
good girl
"Oh, l saw them all, saw them
all, papa, and I'm going to heaven
again, and whep I 60 don't let them
put me into the ground until you
are sure / am teak"
During the rest ofthe day. up to
six o'clock in the evening, the poor
girl was alternately in a conscious
and swooning condition. At six
o'clock she seemed to have died.
There was no change in the body for
three days and several physicians
counselcd that the body be kept from
the tomb. On the fourth day, how
ever, there were unmistakable signs
hi death and the interment took place.

PROVIDE THE SWEET HERBS.

There are many things that are not
food in themselves that help give
pleasing variety to foods; these are
classed under the general term Of
condiments. These may be mere
favorings, or may be added to help
the digestion. Thus the Mexican live
largely upon Jiigoles pronounced
.free-ho-lees), the common bean of
the country, which is present at every
meal of the richest, as we'll as form
ing often the sole food of the poor
est. These are made to form a great
variety by the seasoning; they are
dressed with green pepper or red,
with cheese or with garlic, and in
other ways. With us the use of
condiments is not a necessity; they
are employed to give a pleasant
favor to articles of food. The plants
called Sweet Herbs, comprise Sage,
Thyme, Summer Savory, and Sweet
Marjorams-sometimes Sweet Basil
is added to- the list, and Parsley, used
mostly in the green state, may be
classed here. A bed or corner of
the garden may be used to raise the
young plants, which can be set out
after early vegetables are off. They
are best treated as ANNALS, though
Sage and Thyme will live longer
than enc year, They grow most
luxuriantly in late summer. The
plants should be cut when in bloom
tied in small banches, and
