Save Your Melon Seeds.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
When one meets with an especially
fine melon he is DESTROYS of securing
the seeds. Indeed the only way in
which strain of melon can be kept up
to its standard or improved, is to select
seeds from the best specimens. In
raising melon seed for the market, the
growers allow the fruit to get much
ripper than is desirable for eating; this
gives greater yield of plump seeds,
which are more perfect than if the
fruit were taken in its best condition
for eating. Whoever would save seeds
from them must attend to opening the
fruit himself. Place the contents of
the melon in bowl or other convenient
vessel, cover them with water, and al
low them to stand few days to fer
ment. They should be looked to and
stirred every day, and when it is found
that the seeds fall from their attach
ments to the bottom of the vessel, the
refuse is to be removed, the seeds
washed and spread out to dry upon
boards or cloth. The seeds of water
melons are much less likely than other
melons to be perfect at the time the
fruit is in eating condition; hence seed
growers allow watermelons to get dead
ripe, or rotten ripe, before they sepa-
rate the seeds. Of the seeds separated
when the fruit is eaten a share will
grow. Such seeds should be collected,
washed, and dried. In sowing water
melon seeds of any kind, is well to
recollect that a large majority are
worthless, and to be liberal accordingly.
With cucumbers, allow few of the
earliest and best shaped to ripen on the
vines for seed. All others, if moi
wanted for use, should be removed
and not allowed to exhaust the vines
uselessly. When thoroughly ripe
gather the cucumbers and cut then
lengthwise, scrape out the contents int
a vessel, and allow the seeds to fermen
until the seeds are freed from mucilag,
which surrounds them, and can b
washed and dried.

How Much Wheat Seed Per Acre /?

American Agriculturist.
Where wheat is not at all crowded,
in rich mellow soil, and the tilling is
not impeded, the average number of
stems for each plant is about sixteen.
Each one produces head or ear, con-
tanning on an average. under reasona-
bly, favorable conditions, fifty grains.
Thus one grain yields eight hundred
grains. At this rate, the man who
sows two bushels to the acre, would
harvest sixteen hundred bushels per
acre, or else much of the seed is lost.
The average yield of the country, how
ever, Isles than fifteen bushels peracre.
A bushel of wheat contains ordinarily,
seven hundred and fifty. thousand grains;
two bushels, one million, five hundred
thousand grains. An acre of land con-
tains slightly above six million square
inches. So that each plant has four
square inches from which to derive sus-
teuance. Measure that on the ground
and see how small it is. Can you ex-
pect plant to make vigorous growth
on four square inches? Can you ex-
pect it to tiller and produce sixteen
stems Can you expect it to mature
sixteen full heads? The result Of this
crowding is plain. The plants can not
gain nutriment when growing so dense
". Some must die that Others may
live. The strong triumph and the
weak succumb. This struggle for life
begins as soon as the plants appear
above ground. AS the plants grow
larger they require more room, and
others must give way, and very few,
if any attain a full growth. All are
cramped and starved. Tillering is i'm
peded; many plants do not tiller at all
and those that do, tiller imperfectly
The same is true of caring. Full ears
can not be expected. An acre of whea'
contains about eight hundred thousanC
heads. 1t is safe to say that on account
of tillering these are produced by thre'
hundred thousand plants. Consequently
only one-ffth of the grains sown pro
duce mature plants; these plants pro
duce less than one.fifth of the prope
number of stems by tilleriug, and thes
produce imperfect heads. This is al
E most entirely caused by crowding.
Two quarts of seed sown on an acr
have produced fifty bushels of wheat

nuts, and are now attacking the oaks

Der.
You will not only relieve your fruit
trees and check the spread Of new and
fatal diseases among men and animals,
but you will do no serious harm to
your lands. On the contrary, the soil
of the dense woodland will be much
improved. The burning will let in the
light and the fertilizing gases where
darkness and death reign. When the
thick covering is removed, the freezes
and thaws of winter will pulverize the
soil so that heat and air can penetrate
and give vitality to terminating plants
and sustenance to the roots of trees.
Rich pasturage will be found where
"naught but noiscme weeds and
fungus forms do flourish" This may
sound like speculation, or the adj
vanced thoughts Of half-formed
theory. Not at all, Mr.. Editor. They
are the convictions formed from inves-
tigation, and from observations taken
from the most advanced positions of
science. Chemistry and biology sus.
tain my assertions, and | stand ready
to make them good This is not the
place nor the time for the argument.
l need only say that most diseases are
now considered to be fight between
lower and higher life; and in providing
good, warm winter homes in our sedge
fields for lower life, and supplying
abundant food in the decay Of excessive
amounts of organic matter, to the fun
gaid, bacteria, and amocbic forms, we
are but nursing, feeding, and multiply
ing our enemies.
Fire is our friend; let us use it a;
the Jews did at Gehenna; better re
solved waste, worthless matter to it;
elemented forms, than to make of it the
home of dangerous ferments and the
feed of our worst enemies.
Excuse this DEPRESSION; it needed thi'
much to explain my advice to farmers
to burn their sedge, and thus destroy
many enemies in one.

recent experiments in fertilizers, sus

ago in favor of burning organic matte

Anise.

Anise grows wild in Egypt, in Syria
in Palestine and all parts of the Levant;
the Romans considered the Egyptian
and Cretan anise to be the best, espec-
tally for medical purposes. The pro-
duct of southern Europe is now looked
upon with favor. Among the ancients
anise seems to have been a common
pot-herb in every garden. Although
it is less used in medicine by the mod
ems than by the ancients, it still re-
tains its former regulations as an ex-
cellent stomachic, particularly for deli
cate women and young children. The
Romans chewed it in order to keep up
an agreeable moisture in the mouth,
and to sweeten the breath, while some
Orientials still do the same. Some of
the Persian poets have sung the agree
able qualities of the anise, and mod
ern street ballad of Rome compares the
slender gIace of girl to the anise.
Anise is an annual plant growing to
the height of one foot, carries white
flower, and blooms from June till
August. The seeds are imported and
used in large quantities on account Of
their aromatic and carminative proper
ties. The distilled plants, when used
in blossom, yield sweeter and more
grateful tincture than can be obtained
from the seeds. Anise is employed by
the confectioner for the purpose of
havoring com6ts and cordials. The
anise-seed cordial of the shops is a
compound of alchohol, anise.seed and
angelica. The oil is obtained by dis
tillation from the seeds and though
habitually mixed with great many
cattle medicines, and regarded by the
farmers of former generations as one Of
the most potent of drugs, it performs
scarcely any other Office than the com
munlcating of an agreeable fragrance.
The Chinese cultivate it for the season
ing Of dishes; and the japanese otter
employ bundles and garlands of it in
the ceremonies of their heatheni>f
superstition. Its appearance when ou
of flower, as well as when in bloom, is
decidedly ornamental.

ton of shutting down the mill on that
day and putting the steamers Blakely
and PoIitkofsky ut the disposal of the
citizens of that port who visa 70 join IN
in the celebration. Mr.. Walker, OF Port
Gamble, has signified his intention OF
doing the same thing. and three steam
ers, at least, loaded with visitors, may
be expected from there. From all parts
of the Sound cheering ASSURANCES come
that the people will join with rs heart
lily in celebrating one OF the greatest
events of the aQe-the completion OF the
longest continuous line of railroad in
the world built and operated BY one
company.
Some of our private citizens we're ar
ranging to give Mr.. Willard and guests
a banquet in the evening. but word
reached here that the party must leave

SKIPPED OUT.-On Friday evening
warrants were ordered issued to large
number Of contractors for street work
BY the City Council, among whom was
Michael Murphy, contractor on Fourth
street. On Saturday scrip was issued to
him to the amount of $l72l 6. Muir
ply represented to his men that he
could not get his scrip cashed before
Monday without discountin9 it, and not
wishing to cause him loss his laborers
and other creditors consented to give
him the desired time. Murphy, being
of an appreciatiye turn of mind, re-
warded his laborers for their leniency
by cashing his scrip Saturday evening,
and skipping out with the money, leav-
ing all his hands unpaid and his con-
tract unfinished. 1t is reported be
leaves unpaid bills about town to the
amount of a considerable sum. His TO-
tai indebtedness probably amounts to
$500. What steps will be taken by
those who have been left in the lurch
we are unable to state, but one thing is
certain, and that is, the City Council
should throw some safeguard around
the poor working men, to prevent them
from being robbed by dishonest con.
tractors.
