The Vitality OF Seeds.

In a 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, d.
vided into three equal parts; one portion
exposed to the free air. but screened
from dust: another portion inclosed 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 $50 and peas about LIZ of their
original weight. The seeds confined in
closed air had gained q little peas
1870 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. 50 per cent. terminated; peas
kept in closed air, IS per cent. germina-
beans kept in closed::a 2 per cent. ger
minated; beans kept in carDonic acid,
none. If 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-
sentia1 to it's continued life; second, that
the life of the seeds cannot be indefnit-
" 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. VI

Something to Live for

0OAAASVAAAAAo w A~A'~ AOAs
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
years 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 q
bid. While waiting to see what would
be done he was taken very sick, and he
grew worse so rapidly that q council of
doctors was called. After due DELHI
Grafton he was informed that he was ap-
preaching his end.
"When will I know about that
BRIDGET" he coolly asked.
''The bids will be opened to-day"
"Wen I'll send John over to see who
gets the job, and my living or dying will
depend on his news" :
At S o'clock i'm the afternoon the son
and the family physician arrived in COM
pany. The old man was neither better
nor worse.
"Wellv' he asked as John approached.
"Our bid was accepted, father"
"And we've got the job?"
Eyes, but the doctor says you can't
i've"
II can't, eh? I'm<not only going to
live to build that bridge, but I'm going
to work that square timber into it up to
the last foot, or my name isn't John
Rogers!"
It is fact, vouched by dozen good
men, that he was off that dying bed in
a week, and in less than fortnight he
was at work on that bridge.

Jersey Cows.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer,
who does not speak without experience
of jersey cows, having kept at different
times ten or q dozen half and three
quarter bloods of the breed, takes this
heretical view: "Judging from my own
experience and observation, the coming
farm cow will not be Jersey or have
any Jersey blood. I have no prejudice
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
good native, and in every other par
ticular Except appearance they are
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"

It was quite . valley,
Set far from human 11ls,
A sunny, sloping valley,
BeRirt by green, green hills.
The white clouds softly knitted
Gray shadows in the grass;
The sea-birds poised and fitted
As they were 10th to pass.
A clear stream through the BRIDGES,
Blue, lazy smoke uncurled:
Beyond its purple ridges
Lay the unqaiet world.
Under the ivied rafters
Low crooned the sun-drowned dove
While youthful, breezy lAughters
Moved on the slopes above.
Where mid the fiower-clad spaces
We children made bright quest;
Sure a. We ran quick races
The far-seen flower was best.
Thus while the sun uplifted,
And flashed down the stream,
The white clouds drifted, drifted,
In deep untroubled dream.
Fair shines that sunny valley,
Set far from human ills;
Our childhood'a simple valley
Begrt with green. green hills.
Nor all the worlds mad riot
Which we have known since then,
Hath touched this valleys quiet
Deep in our hearts own ken.

Said a fellow traveller the other day to
a correspondent of the CINCINNATI En-
Quirer: women are not as polite as
men in public. I have often seen ex-
hibitions of rudeness and selfishness on
the part of women that a man would
not be guilty of. There is case in point
right across the aisle. That woman has
but small valise, and no one is in the
seat with her, and. every other seat is
occupied. A while ago alittle girl passed
by in search Of some place to sit. She
looked wistfully at the vacant place, and
the woman stared at her, but She never
budged. The little girl is now at the
other end of the car, standing up! The
majority of women folks are no doubt
sweet and agreeable at home, but as
soon as they get in a street car or rail-
way carriage their good manners seem
to leave them"

There il nothing in the times or the

A few years ago many supposed that
all the qualifications farmer needed
was physical strength lit to-day the
opinion is confirmed that no occupation
requires more mental training.
The Breeders Gazette records opinion
az follows: ''There are many intelligent
men who predict that there will be q
fearful tumble in the prices of Jerseys
at no late date, and that the mania is
confined to men with more money than
brains.' The Gazette has maintained the
position that the prevailing prices are
not extravagant for the best specimens
of the breed, with good butter records,
backed up with gilt-edged butter pedi-
gree"
We give rule for computing the num-
Der of bushels in bin, which we find in
the American Miller: "Find the num-
Der of cubic feet by multiplying the
length, breadth and height in feet, and
deduct one-fifth of the product, the re-
suit will be the number of bushels in the
bin"
ut is well-known and generally re-
