The Secret Of Having Good Holm.

There are fools and scoundrels in the
world, but fortunately they are not all in any
one class of society. There is the man who
wants to hire cheap help He will find no
trouble in doing so and will get just what he
hires, cheap in every sense of the word ex-
cept in the sense of being worth more than it
COSTS They are cheap in self-respect they
are either fawning lck-spittes who would
turn on their employers when any opportun-
ity offers, who cannot be trusted out OF sight,
who have no care or thought for their en-
pioyer's interests, or staggering, insolent
and unnecessarily ready in resenting fancied
sights, because they have not enough self-re-
spect to occupy subordinate position with
out feeling it necessary to assert themselves
Then in employers There are some Just as
mean and low-lived' as any hired men we
have described (and you will commonly find
the two classes in company who will hire
cheap, and use their utmost endeavors to get
more out of the man than they pay for, who
keep their help poorly and have SO little self
respect as to feel it necessary to make use of
their position as employers to emphasize
their superiority. Now this is fair state
ment of the present condition of the case, and
probably always will be till poor humanity is
made over on perfect model. But there are
sensible and honorable men who want good
help, and are willing to pay for it who re-
spect themselves and the men who work for
them and while they direct their business,
as is their manifest right and duty, do so in a
way which is not open to any just objection
Such employers will generally have men who
will know when they are well used, who
know their duties as well as their rights, and
are as anxious to do the one as to maintain
the other, and such a conviction will make
both the other classes described wonder how
employers are SO lucky in always getting such
good help. Ifnktdn

PLANTING SEEDS. Thousands of seeds are
buried alve-are sutfocated through excess
OF covering. Undue hardness of soil may al
so prove an obstacle to growth, but the seed
bed and its covering may also be too soft. A
certain amount OF resistant seems needful
for the development of healthy growth in
seeds. The advice not to cover with soil at
all, only lay sheet of glass over pans or pots
OF small seeds, is also good but a caution is
needtul in reference to it. Seeds so covered
and placed on shelves within full reach of the
sun have to endure heat almost beyond be-
lief The glass should either be whitened
over or covered with paper but seeds are
much better placed in the shade, or even in
the dark, until they terminate they need no
light to excite them into growth. As soon as
the germ develops into a stem or leaf-not
before-can it make any good use of light.
VI course, seeds terminated in the dark need
careful treatment in their first stages of plant
hood but with careful introduction to the
light the young plants speedily gain strength,
Whlle larger percentage of seeds will germi-
nate In shade or semi or total darkness than
when exposed TO light from the first.
The Highland agricultural society of Scot
land has ascertained by experiments that an
ounce OF red-top seeds contains 425, 600 grass,
and of timothy, $4,000. OF more practical
Importance was the fact shown that the great
est number of seeds of timothy terminate at
depth of One-fourth of an inch. "Only
one'hait the number sown," says the report,
terminated at depth of one inch, and none
at depth of two inches. Orchard grass seed
failed at II inches. The proper depth was
indicated at one-fourth of an inch. The re-

The bee farmer should not forget to planta
liberal number of Eastwood trees; next to
white clover comes this tree in importance to
the apiarist, and there is not farm in the
eastern states that cannot well afford space
for this noble tree. If PLANTED upon the high
way, l would plant it with the sugar maple.
For length of over 100 rods my highway is
planted with an avenue of over 100 trees.
Some of these trees have been planted eight
years, and now blossom. The apiarst will
find not only pleasure, but profit, in becoming
to n certain extent forest-tree culturist.
There are many corners upon our farms that
had far better be planted to useful trees than
to be infested as they are with weeds and
brush. Our springs and small streams should
be protected with surrounding Gordon of
trees; they would then defy the scorching
drouths of summer, and continue to fill our
rivers for the benefit of commerce and manu-
features. The apiarist should use his infu-
ence with his neighbors in this direction for
the day will surely come when our forests will
receive tho attention that has already been too
long neglected. Cor. Bee Journal.
