Growing Seeds For Planting.

Tomato seeds may be grown in gar.
dens where different varieties are near
each other without danger that varie-
ties will mix. The cabbage family
mixes freely when different plants or
different varieties grow together or
near each other. Pure seed can only
be depended on when the varieties grow
at considerable distance flom other
varieties, Peas do not readily mix by
blooming in proximity, but beans are
quite liable to do so, and if pure seed,
true to name, is desired, the varieties
must be planted at distance from
others blooming at the same time.
These are some of the conclusions ar
rived at from experiments carried on
in pots under greenhouse culture the
past winter, under Dr. Sturtevant's
directions, at the New York State Ex.
pertinent Station.
Some Of these facts are doubtless fa-
miliar to seed growers, if not to all
farmers Or gardeners. Just how far
apart certain plants must be grown tC
ensure pure seed, is something depend
ing so much upon conditions that vii
vary in different seasons, and IN differ
ent localities as to prevent ever making
rules that will be subject to les
variation. With winds and insects u
influence the character of seeds, it mus
be hardly possible to be sure of abso
lutely pure seed, and perhaps it is wei
that this is so. A safe rule to follow
under the circumstances, would be Il
raise only improved varieties.

A Motor that win Supersede
Steam.

Coal, one of the leading journals of
practical science inc England, makes
known discovery that, if as represen-
ted, will work as great revolution in
employment of power as Keely's motor
would, were it to do all he promises.
The journal in question says:
"a new motor has been discovered,
which, it is claimed, will supercede
steam. The material from which the
energy is generated, is bi-sulphide of
carbon, which is utilized as motor
agent in the form of vapor, and the
advantage claimed for it over steam, is
that while water expands in the ra-
ito of one cubic inch to 100, bi.sul-
phide of carbon has an expansion prop
erty of one to 5000. When the vapor
is generated it passes into the steam
chest OF the engine, and moves the
piston rods. A pipe attached to the
engine conveys the exhaust vapor di-
rectly through condenser back to the
tank in its original liquefed form, to
be generated. The system of genera.
ton and condensation is similar to the
heat action, and, with machinery prop.
erly constructed, it is claimed that a
single supply of bi-sulphide of carbon
can be used with reinforcements for an
indefinite period. The cost of fuel is
triAing, it being claimed that from the
peculiar properties Of the bi-sulphide
an ordinary house fire can develop a
power sufficient to run an ocean steamer.
Water boils at 212 deg, and it takes
32O degrees of heat to make steam
available, while the new agent takes
the form of vapor at 1S0 degrees"

A Pretty Pair.

An Iowa villager laid wager that
a stranger whose acquaintance he had
casually made could not within six
hours WOO, win and marry young
woman who had just arrived at the
same hotel. The suiter introduced him,
self to her, she smiled upon him, a
minister was called in, and the cere-
mony was performed. The couple
left on the following morning. with no
inconsiderable sum Of money. They
were husband and wife of long stand
ing, and had played the same trick in
many places.

A 6lcrgyman'S Ride.

Theory and practice do not always
agree-a fact which a good -natured
but rather impractical country clergy
man once found to his cost. His
youngest son, whom he was educating
at an agricultural college, came home
at the first vacation, eager to display
his newly acquired knowledge.
On the afternoon Of his return, his
father chanced to speak of kicking
COW that troubled him.
"Oh," said son confidently, 81 can
soon stop that. We learn all these
things at college,"
"Well, my boy" replied the father,
"there's no time like the present. It's
just about milking time suppose you
try it now?" and he led the way to the
barn. For the convenience of the op,
orator, the animal was led out and tied
to a tree.
"Now," said Sam, the son, otis very
simple. All you've got to do is to put
weight on her back and then she can't
kick. Don't you see?"
"H m I'll see later. But we'll try
it." answered the clergyman.
"What shall we use for a weight?'
said Sam. "Look here I'll make a
weight of myself, and you can milk.
And so saying, he mounted the cows
back.
For a moment the animal seemed toe
much surprised to move. The minister
began to milk, and then up went hel
heels and Sam found himself on hil
back.
GA striking, but not exactly a sue
cessful illustration" dryly remarked
the father.
"The theory's all right" persisted
Sam, ruefully rubbing his back 9Th,

but mind, | don't mean to risk tum

and tie my feet underneath. Then le

The good clergyman was soon mount
ed, and, after little difficulty, securel
tied. Sam attempted to milk. At hi
first touch up went the cows heel
again. This followed again and again

preference TO melon and 0tner seeds
that produce vine, when two or three
years old, on the ground that they pro-
duce less of vine and better fruit than
new seed. Turnlp seed that we hear
so often complained about in the fall Of
the year, ought to be, and are, the
easiest of all seeds to keep in condition.
They are good three or four years old,
without doubt. The true cause of fire.
quent failures l ascribe to the fact that
they are most sown from July to Oc-
tober, when the sun is always hot, and
the soil often too dry. Even after
rain it often occurs that seed will GER
inmate and then be killed by the heat
before they can develop leaf.
As to the sowing of seed, as before
suggested, believe frequent fault is
in covering too deep. The early spring
Sowings, especially, should be covered
very lightly, because the earth is cold,
and if placed much below the surface
the sun cannot warm them, and the
germ decays in the damp, cold soil.
Early corn, covered quarter of an
inch only, grows out of the ground di-
rectly, whereas if covered an inch it
lies long, and at two inches will not
come at all. Fine seed should be barely
well covered, larger seed an eighth to
a quarter of an inch. AS the season
advances and the earth becomes warm,
the planting should be little deeper.
If the soil is dry enough to handle
we'll, light garden roller is of great
service to press the earth over the seed.
In late spring and summer sowings
this is of essential Importance. The
roller firms the earth about the seed,
and causes it to hold moisture, and to
absorb moisture from the dews. have
made very serviceable light roller
from an old gin pulley. 1t weighs
about ten or twelve pounds. The use
of it on seed sown in warm weather
adds hundred per cent. to the stand
obtained. 1t is in vain to expect
proper termination of seed that is
planted in oloddy Or lumpy soil. The
earth must be fine enough to lie close
enough to the seed, and if it is at all
dry it must be pressed down, not Sc
very gently either, but firmly.
have found no advantage usually
in the plan often recommended, ol
soaking seeds before planting, except
in the case of okra seeds. All Others
| found to be killed by the least dry OF
hot weather, and more easily killed
than seed not soaked. If the earth is
thoroughly dry, then soaking kill;
them quickly, for the sprout swells and
then finds no moisture in the earth tC
support it, and it dies; whereas, if the
seed were put in the same soil without
soaking, they would lie there until il
rains, and then come up promptly anC
well.
We cannot leave our gardening op
erations to the sort of help that is nov
about us. Thought and attention mus
be given to see that the sowings arr
properly made. If the necessary carr
is given to the preparation of the soil
and the seed are rightly put in, be
lieve there will be very rare complaint
made about seed. If the seed coulC
complain of the gardeners as easy a
the gardeners complain of the seed
we would hear some strange stories o
ignorance and neglect.
