The Vitality OfSeeds.

: In recent number of the Gardeners
Chronicle mention is made of some pre-
liminaly experiments to ascertain the
effects of different conditions on the
latent vitality of seeds. Several pack
ages of seeds were, in January, 1880, di-
vided into three equal parts; one portion
exposed to the free air. but screened
from dust: another portion Enclosed in
air, being tightly corked up in tube;
the third placed in pure carbonic acid.
At the end of two years the seeds were
taken out, weighed and sown. All those
which had been exposed to free air had
gained in weight; for instance, beans had
gained LOO and peas about l-72 of their
Aoriginal weight. The, seeds confined in
closed air had gained little --peas
1-790'and beans 1-1190. The seeds con-
fined in carbonic acid gas hardly at all
varied from their. original weight. Asto
comparative termination, of peas, kept
in free air. 80 per cent. terminated; peas
keptin closed air, As per cent. gerrnina-
ted; peas kept in carbonic acid, none;
beans kept in closed air, 2 per cent. ger
minated; beans kept in carponic acid,
none. Ii the full course of experiments
gave such results. it will be made clear,
first that the vegetable embryo in the
seed is not, strictly speaking, latent, but
is doing some work, however little, and
is keeping up respiration, which is es-
sential to its continued life; second, that
the life OF the seeds cannot be indefinit-
ly prolonged. Very old seeds exposed
to the air must be dead from exhaus.
ton, and those deeply buried by suffoca-
ton, and the numerous recorded cases
of the termination of ancient seeds are
more and more to be distrusted.

Something to Live for.

From the Detroit Free Press. -
It has been asserted by scientific sur
geons that the will-power of sick man
has great deal to do with his dying,
and the case of Charles O'Conor is cited
as evidence. A still stronger case &C.
Cured in Michigan the past summer.
An old man, living in the Northern part
of the state, got out lot of timber many
wears ago for toll-road company, but
the company failed and left him in the
lurch. For years and years he tried to
sell the timber to this one or that, but
no one wanted it, and at last time and
decay rendered the beams almost worth
less, Last summer the Supervisors of
that county advertised for proposals to
build bridge, and the old man put in
bid. While waiting to see what would
be done he was taken very sick, and he
grew worse 80 rapidly that council of
doctors was called. After due delib-
Grafton he was informed that he was APP
preaching his end.
"When will I know about that
bridget" he coolly asked
"The bids will be opened to-day"
"Well I'll send John over to see who
gets the job, and my living or dying will
depend on his news"
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the son
and the family physician arrived in COM
pany. The old man was neither better
nor worse.
"Well!" he asked as John approached.
sour bid was accepted, father"
''And we've got the jobP"
Yes, but the doctor says you can't
i've"
"I can't, eh? I'm not only going to
live to build that bridge, but Pm going
to work that square timber into it up to
the last foot, or my name isn't John
Rogers" !,
1t is fact, vouched by a dozen good
men, that he was off that dying bed in
n week, and in less than a fortnight he
was at work on that bridge.

against the breed. They are generally
rich mixers, though not always; but |
greatly question whether they will pro-
duce pound of butter as cheaply as a

much inferior They are delicate; they
are much more liable to milk fever,
abortion and other similar troubles than
any breed know. At the same time,
they are large eaters, but very choice in
their taste, and for beef are absolutely
worthless"
