The Testing of Seeds,

A correspondent of the Germantown
telegraph advises farmers of the ex.
pediency of testing the terminating
powers of the seeds which they intend
TO SOW this spring, and says: ~ learned
by dear-bought experience last spring
that it would not do to depend on ap.
pearance alone in the matter of sowing
oats. put in six acres with as nice,
bright oats as ever was, and for ought
I knew. perfectly clear of any bad
smell. but it failed to terminate, or at
least not more than one-third of it ever
came up. consequently resolved new
er again to SOW eats without first try
ing if it would properly terminate,
which is very easily done by taking a
handful and putting it in vessel filled
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, besides
the loss consequent upon reaping crop
of weeds instead of grain"
