Seed Corn.

The damage inflicted on the immature
corn in the northern ATTITUDES by recent
frosts is warning of the Importance of
careful selections of good grain for seed.
In the North, where the season is short,
those varieties only should be planted
that ripen rapidly, and in the South
those should be planted that ripen
slowly. But the possibility of frost in
September is not the only consideration
that should govern the selection of seed
corn. In the latitude of Missouri and
the States south of us, we rarely have O
severe frost before the 25th of Septem-
Der, or the first of October, and this
danger is so slight, therefore, that
farmers do not need to concern them
selves about it. Still, there are other
things to be taken into the account in
determining the character of the seed
selected for planting produetiveness,
hardness, weight and keeping quail
ties. Every large corn raiser in Mis-
souri, ought to carry on a little expert
mentation for himself, year after year.
Tests of new varieties from distant re-
gions may be made on small scale,
and when these reveal superior quail
ties in a new variety, it may be adopted.
But it is found as a rule that the variety
long grown in locality is the best for
that locality, and every farmers ex-
perience strengthens this rule. But the
local variety itself may be improved by
careful selections carried on, year after
year. with reference to the time Of
ripening, size Of ear, weight of grain,
and productiveness. In every corn
field there is to be seen here and there
an unusually fine, heavy ear. matured
carly, well filled out with full grain
compactly set to the tip, and bending
down with its own weight. These ears
are natures hints to the farmer; they
are the product of o law of growth by
which vital vigor manifests itself con-
spicuously. These noble ears should
be marked as the seed corn for the
next season; and when similar ears are
found in the field next season, they
should again be selected. This process
carried on through successive years
will give q gradually improving grain,
possessing the very qualities the farmer
desires, and spare him the risk and cost
of high-priced varieties from distant
regions which he knows nothing about.

Overheated Meat.

''Served my time as butcher with old
John Stryker, as religious man as ever
drawed knife" said Police Court
Officer ''Jim' Waldron, who, for thir-
teen years held the position of Meat In
spector in Brooklyn. 1.-The greatest
evil to be commended with, y continued
the ex-Meat Inspector, sis the killing of
what we call 'overheated meat That
is, the slaughter of cattle for the market
upon the day they are received at the
slaughter houses. No animal should
be killed until it has had at least a
days, or two days, if possible, rest
and quiet, so that the system may cool
off and the blood flow regularly through
the veins. Meat of overheated cattle
is productive of diarrhea and blood
poison. It's not fit to eat. Veal is I'M
ripe meat and | never considered it safe
at best. There are many other forms
of imposition on the part of those who
slaughter animals for human consump-
ton which need looking after closely
in thirteen slaughter-houses of Brook
lyn, and four good, practical butchers
should be appointed, under police
supervision, with the full power and
authority of an officer to enforce the
law and keep a close watch on the,

Henry Stewart notes in the New
York Times the fact that some varieties
of potatoes seem to be more distasteful
to Colorado beetles than others, and in
stances Wallis Orange and the Dakota
Red as two sorts which with him re-
quired no attention, while others
grown near were given daily pickings.
"A writer in the Country Gentleman
recommends the soaking of the wood
composing a summer house in crude
petroleum, saying it will make any
common wood nearly or about as dur
able as cedar, imparting to it rich
brown color. 1t would be an excellent
idea to apply the same preserYative to
trellises, ETC., on lawns.
When very large quantities of pota-
| toes have to be stored for short time,
or even during the entire winter, out
door pits may be resorted to; but for
convenience of handling and the facil-
| ity with which they are accessible at
any season, a good cellar is worth more
| than the best of pits. A potato cellar
| should be SO constructed that the floor
is entirely dry at all times, that the
| frost and light can be excluded COM
plerely, and that perfect ventilation of
every part can be given rapidly, suffi-
cient to keep the air pure and the tenn
perature as low as possible without fall
ing below the freezing point.-Ihe

The usual method of supporting
| overladen fruit trees is to place long
stakes, with fork at the top, beneath
them. A much better and more simple
method Of effecting the purpose is
suggested by Dr.. j. II. Mease,
of Lebanon, Pa. Instead of using
Several stakes, one to each princi-
| pal branch, he places 8 single strong
pole against the trunk of the tree. The
lower end of the pole, if desired, may
be sunk few inches in the soil for adj
| ditional support, but usually it will be
sufficient to secure it to the trunk by
means of straw bands or other ties that
| will not bruise the bark. The pole be-
ing secured the dropping branches are
relieved by means of ties made fast to it.
DR.. Mease states that this method of
tying up the branches of overloaded
trees is especially useful in storms,
the support being central, and more
natural than where several props are
used.-Anacrica7s Agricalturist.

The sky was clear, the stars were bright,
Ihe grass was wet with dew;
When Johnny rose, put on his clothes.
And vowed what he would do.
"1ll leave my pa, III leave my ma,
I'll go from here to stay;
They use me rough-Tve had enough
And so I'll run away.
"Tll take my clothes, I'll take my all

I'll strike for liberty.
And Johnny started brayeIy out,
And said he d Ter return;
He said he'd go and make show,
And let his genius burn.

And braYely through the day,

With sadness in his tone;
1t isn't best to go out West,
AT least, to 90 al0neP
And now I'm in pretty fix,
And don't know what to do"
And then he sighed and sobbed and cried:
"Boo-hoo, boO-hoo, boo-hoo!'
The boy, when found, was taken home,
And was content to stay;
Said he: I'm cured, and rest assured
I'll never run away!"

Helping Mother.

1t was the evening before commence
ment at Mt. Pleasant Seminary. Six
young ladies of the graduating class
were gathered around window over
looking the pleasant grounds, and talk
ing eagerly about the future. Their
plans were various, reaching onward
with no thought of grief or sorrow.
Wealth, admiration, fame. were among
the attainable. Music and art would
each have its devotee. One would CON
tinue her studies at higher institution;
another would become the mistress OF
a beautiful home.
One had not spoken, and when the
question, a second time, was asked inn
patiently: ssLouise, what are your
plans?'' her answer was eagerly await

quiet Louise. ''O-o.oh, we all mean
to do that, of course, y said one, "but
what plans have you? You can't mean
to stay at home in poky way and not
try to do anything?n "Girls,' said
Louise, :" do mean to do just that;
for the present, at least, my business
shall be to help my mother in any way
that it is possible for me to help her. 2

The Factory Numbering of Yarns.

All yarns, whether of cotton, wooden,
worsted, or other material, are num-
bered according to their size. A No. l
cotton yarn contains $40 yards to the
pound, and No. 10 contains ten times
that amount, or 8,400 yards. No. 40
cotton yarn contains 40 times $40, or
$500 yards to the pound, and its di-
ameter consequently only one-fortieth
as great as that of No. /.
Wooden yarns are measured in 'runsn
of LOGO yards to the pound. Two-run
yarn contains $500 yards to the pound.
three-run 1880, ten-run 10000, and so
on.
No. worsted yarn always measures
$50 yards to the pound, and No. 10 is
one-tenth as large, and measures $500
yards to the pound. As a matter of
fact, but little if any worsted yarn is
spun coarser than No. 10, and the finest
commonly made is No. 65, though some
mills run as small as No. 80. No. 90
worsted yarn contains SO. 400 wards TO
the pound, and its smalIness can there
fore readily be imagined. The No. Is
worsted yarn, in most common use for
knitting, contains only $500 yards to
the pound, but Is generally made of
very fine WOOL erttfe G;asette.

No Use for Them.
Concerning Certain Reflects or the
Past-Dogs That Have Had
Their Day.

George Stephenson's Rocket" and the
magnificent locomotives OF to day, are built
upon the same general principle yet the ma
cnine with which the great engineer aston
ished his age, Is interesting now only as an H.
llstration OF the beginning Of the invention.
There were plasters with holes in them long
before BENS0N'S CAPCINE POROUS pLAS-
TER surprised both the public and the physi-
clans; and the triumph OF the Capcine is
sounded upon the partial successes. or the
utter failures OF its predecessors. Everything
OF value in the old porous plaster is retained
In the Capclne; but at this point all compare
son ends. and contrast begins For example:
The old plasters were slow In their action I;
the Capclne Is quick and sure.
The old plasters lacked the power to do
more than to impart slight, temporary relief
In eases easy Of treatment; the Capclne pene-
trates the system and permanently cures the
troubles for which II is recommended.
The old plasters depended for any good re-
suits they might attain upon an accident OF
their makers and the ked faith OF their
wearers; the Benson's reaches its ends by
means the scientific combination OF the rara
medicinal ingredients which It contains.
In brief, the old plasters, like stephenson's
discarded engine, are switched OF the track.
while the Benson's goes on It's way winning
golden opinions nom all sorts Of people.
Yet In this very fact lies the leading danger
TO the people who buy and use this reliable and
scientific remedy. "Hypoccisy is the tribute
vice pays TO virtue !" Imitation is the conces-
sion failure makes TO success. Benson's Pias-
tiers are parodicd in name and style.
