improvements Of Grain by Selection.

The principal of selection has long
been appreciated by stock-breeders,
and they have largely profited by the
application of its teachings. AS ap.
Piled to the growth of cereals it has
not found a very wide acceptance, not
having had time to force itself on the
attention of the average farmer. The
founder of the practice of selecting
grain for s,'ed is Major Hallett, F. l..
5. Brighton, England. In 1861 he
planted ten grains of wheat. from
variety known there as Bellevue
Talavera wheat, which up to that
time had been sOwn as spring wheat,
and was declared to be incapable of
Wlthstanding the frost of winter.
Nine of the ten plants from these
grains were killed by the severe frost,
but the other plant, although from
the same ear, remained as healthy
ana vigorous as any of the winter
varieties of wheat by theirside. From
this surviving plant seed has been
selected and grown year after year as
winter wheat. Close observation
shows that in the cereals, as through
out nature, no two plants or grains
are exactly alike in productive pow
er, and hence that of any two or
greater number of grains or plants
one is always superior to all the
Others, although the superiority can
only be ascertained by actual field
tests. 1t may consist in several par
tIcnlar characteristics, as power to
withstand frost prolificness size and
character of ear; size. form, quality
and weight of grain length and stiff
ness of straw; powers of tillering
rapldity ofgrowth ; and many others.

Wonders Never Cease.

A long time ago the wise man said
there is nothing new under the sun,
but yet the daily experience of hum
dreds seem to prove this false. Some
contend that the days of miracles are
past, but yet it appears as if they are
not yet gone by when such men as L.
N. Tidball, Washington, Pa, give
the following remarkable testimony :
II have been severe sufferer from
chronic rheumatism and kidney affec-
tion for over twenty years, and after
having tried nearly everything with
out getting relief. commenced using
PERUNA a few months ago. The
benefit / have received is wonderful.
l feel like new man, and am fully
restored to health"
Surely such a cure is remarkable,
and none should hesitate any longer
about using PERUNA, the great reme-
dy discovered by DR.. Hartman. Send

for his book on the ellis of Life"

The POtatoe-Bug's Doom.

The decline and fall of the CoIora-
40 potato-bug should be warning to
all other insects and might serve as
a hlnt to the English sparrow. Start
ing from his home in the far West,
where he had long been content to
iced upon some cheap and modest
weed, his awakened ambition carried
him to every part of the United
States and even to benighted Europe.
Announcing himself as the terrible
Doryphora Decemllneate, and caring
not whicker for the freedom of his
country, he passed through all the
magnificent scenery of the Western
regions and descended upon the fer
tile potato patches of thirty. six-or
perhaps thirty-seven-States, carry
ing desolation in his path and every
where producing starvation to The
human race. The wall of the impov-
erished farmer was music to his ear,
and he would laugh and make puns
to the effect that he was the great de-
vas-tator. He had stripes upon his
back, in mockery of the flag, and his
children were of an Indian red, such
as painters put on the window-sash,
Schoffing at Nautilus, he multiplied
and multiplied, but he did not re-
plenished the earth. For years he
ruled and terrorized. But there
came turning-point. Other bugs
began to be born or to appear, who,
enyying him his greatness, formed
combinations against him. 1t was
agreed that the little lady-bug should
feed on his eggs and that an ugly,
dust-colored bug, put up like a six
cornered kite on legs and calling itself
the soldier-bug, should job its lance
into him on every occasion, while
some kind of fly volunteered to
buzz around and fill him with some
thing that he would take into the
ground with him, and that would
produce death. Still other insects
swore they would do what they could,
and the farmers bought Paris green,
with which the pOtatO-vines were
sprinkled. The result was that the
great unassisted emigrant from Colo
RADIO. the victor of seventeen hundred
thousand fields, began to so diminish
in numbers that potatoes once more
come to be known as an article of
human diet, and in the year 1883 he
had fallen off so vastly as to cease to
be feared even by children. Poor,
ambitious fool He thought to make
for himself an imperishable name,
but he only succeeded in spreading
the name of the insignificant State of
Colorado, which territory he scorned
and abandoned. Verify, pride goeth
before fall.

Mortgages are necessary and beno.

who would have been otherwise sue
cessful. They often enable a man TO
get out of trouble which he could NOT
otDerwise avoid. and they perhaps
equally often make miserable life
winch would have otherwise been
happy. 1t is easy to get them on the
iarm, but it is not always SO easy 10
get them off. Farm mortgages are
about the best investment. that can't

them, They partake of the nature,
permanence, and other substantial
qualities of real property, but are re-

the farm unless it seems absolutely
necessary. But, as a general rule is
less valuable than a pal ticular one,
IL may be well to specify, by adding,
z. DO not mortgage to build a fine

TO pay money for an investment
which does not bring money. DO
not mortgage the farm to buy more

Solute certainty is rale, mistaken cal

land less productive, and the means of

way trouble begins which may result
