Vitality of Seeds.

1t is well known among gardeners and
seedsmen that while some kinds of seed
retain their vitality Tor many years, 9TH
ers soon lose it ven swhen kept under
what are supposed to be the most favor
able conditions. AS n rule, seeds con-
tanning considerable oil, like the sun
hower and mustard, retain their vegeta-
ton powers much longer than the dry
and i]arinaceOus kinds. The thick shells
of some seeds might be considered as a
protection against loss ofyitality, but we
do not find tbat the larger uts cal be
kept for any considerable length Of time
or seldom more than one year., while
some of the smaller seeds, with an APP
parent thin covering, like the pea and
bean, will vegetate when q dozen years
old if kept unler anything like favora-
bic conditions. Onion seed will seldom
vegetate after the second year, white
turnip seed will remain sound for half a
dozen years, and if kept in Il cool room
for twice that length of time. Perhaps
the best possible conditions under which
to keep most vegetable seeds is in a cold
dry atmosphere. There is, however,
much to be learned in regard to preserv-
ing the vitality Of seeds, and the nan
who undertakes to investigate all the
phenomena in regard to the vitality OF
seeds has a large and interesting field
before him.

FARM AND HOUSE.
Men who should Marry Cooks.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The loves of superintendent men be-
ing beyond their own ken, are, as a mat,
ter Of course, beyond the ken of others,
A commonplace, matter-of fact girl, u
sensible girl, an intelligent girl-m fac,
anything reasonable-does not suitthem
The reason is they understand her, and
and what such men understand loses to
them that great charm of novelty. But
let a girl-woman, laughing one moment,
crying the next, very industrious for III
instant, forgetting all about the industry
in another instant; loving her dog, ha,
ting her dog; starting to sing and ending
by crying; kind and loving in the morn
ing, cr.el and hateful in the afternoon
a being that is always a novelty to them
these are the ones they love. Beings
that can v understand them, that
can never help them, and that always
make their life a great burden ofjov and
misery, and yet these are the beings
they marry. Occasionally, when one of
them marries a matter-of fact woman, he
is surprised at his content and comfort,
and so are his colleagues. but they do
not learn the lesson. They go on in the
same old rut, marrying the butterflies.
These are the men who should marry
cooks.

The Way 20 Cook Oysters.
From the Washington Republican.

A'Ai eAS "
The oyster is eaten in a variety of
styles. He will be eaten to-day fried,
broiled, stewed, steamed, scalloped and
raw. Some people in Chicago eat them
picked. No matter. Chicago is young
yet and will learn after a while. So
wealthy and enterprising a CITY car not
remain forever uncivilizea. The best
way to eat oysters is the old-fashio,led
Maryland stew. Shuck your oysters,
and on pain of death let not a drop oil
water or milk touch them. Let them
repose for a few moments in their own
liquid, while You cut up a very small
quantity of raw, new bacon, withashred
here and there Of lean with it. About
an n OF bacon to a quart of oysters.
Ham is not the best, neither is mid
cling; good new shoulder is the article.
Put the bacon in q frying pan and heat
rapidly i've a vigorously burning fire.
When the bacon is done to Il crisp pour
in the oysters. Stew for two minutes
and a half or three, no longer. Pepper
to suit taste while stewing. If the oys-
tiers are good salt water b%ivalves, they
need no salt. Then pour out and eat
Thank God you live in a land where
the art OF cooking oysters properly is
not wholly lost. If you eat oysters
cooked in this style you will never eat
them in any other way if you can help

Fall Care Of Stock.
From the Farmers Advocate.

From the Farmers Advocate.
In the fall of the year there is more
danger of stock being neglected than
nos farmers think. The transition from
the warm nights to the cool, and from
the s%ucculent grasses of the warmer
months of the fall heritage. has quite an
effect on the condition of stock. In per-
manent pastures the grass is dried up
and gone. and only on second-growth
clover and grassy stuble fields can any
kind of proper food be obtained. Hence
between the autumn grass and the com
mencement of winter or stall feeding,
stock are liable to suffer from a too scant
diet. When this is the case, stock com.
mance in the face of a hard winter in
poor heart, and they consequently never
gain up and there is a consequent loss.
We are fully of the opinion that tine ne
glect of proper management of stoc k in
the fall is of more Importance than any
other season Of the year. When the
| pastures are getting bare every farmer
should have q rotation of soiling, and
when the cold nights come, especially
IN the case of mich COWS, they should
be put in a comfortable yard or s table
n notallowed to rest on the cold damp,
grass. This has a haneful effect, and
causes more harm than anything else.
Besides putting stock into comfortable
quarters, the system requires to be Kept

THE HABITS ~TORNADOES.
The Results OF Prot. William p. Trow-
bridges Observations.
om the N. Y. Times, Oct. 9th

From the N. Y. Times, Oct. 9th.
Tcrnadoes furnished the subject last
evening of an interesting paper by Prof.
William P. ~Trownridge, read before the
New York Academy of Sciences. in the
new building Of Columbia College. Prof.
Newberry presided. Professor ..Trow-
briuge said there was seldom q day or q

loss of life and property. The center OF
great frequency was in Kansas, Nebrls-
ka and Missouri, hut tornadoes were ex-

of the globe with more or less 1requen-
cy. The roar of their approach had been
compared to the coming Off 600 railroad
trains.
Prot. Trowbridee exhibited a number
Of pictures of famous tornadoes and de-
scrlbed their characteristics in detail.
The Lee Summit tornado, in Missouri,
on August, 80, 1875, extended sixty mics,
and was tunnel shaped, appearing like a
great sernent with its tail curling and
flashing. The funnel ~careened according
to one observer, like a balloon and the roar
could be heard seventeen miles. In one

wagon WAS carried 1,600 feet across the
ravine and n tree was borne five miles
away. The Irving TORNADO in Kansas,
drew many houses into its vortex as il
passed over the country. Tornadoes
were most frequent in June and usually
occurred in the afternoon. The width
of their path varied from 40 feet to two
miles, the average being 1000 feet. OuI
of a large number 0 tornadoes observed
their coming was heralded by the sud
den appearance of dark and portentious
clouds, which rushed to q common cen,

up by liberal feeding, ana here is where
the soiling system would come into effect.
If farmers have not got sufficient accom-
modations in the stables for all their
stock, let them have a sheltered yard or
shed, and bed it literally, SO that the
animals may be dry at nights. Thus not
only are they being made comfortable,
but they are early commencing the work
of manure making, which is so essential
to all our farms. Put the COWS in the
stable or yard on cold nights, and give
them a good feed of late sown corn, rye
or vetches at ni"tt when you take them
in; another feed in the morning. Every
farmer can have a few acres of this
green fodder, and we guarantee to say
that II acre of this will make 81 greater
return in feed for stock than five acres
in pasture, and five acres in soiling-feed
on 100 acres would keep all the stock re-

manrre SO much needed, and the conse-
quent increase of milk and beef.

A slangy Girl.
Chicago Times

Chicago Times.
Under the present order OF things,
should the novelist go into the high
ways and resorts of the world to study
reality, he will find many a daughter of
the gods, divinely tall, and the most d.
vinely fair, who, when her lips are
opened. will dispel the charm fiber pres
eEce and bring to mind the old fairy
tale Of the damsel from whose lips
dropped toads and snakes ofevery word;
who acknowledged no law of etiquette
but her own whim; whose standard of
regard to others is her own convenience;
whose greatest virtue is Indifference,
and whose best charm is absence. 1t is
true that at summer resorts there are
charming and lovely girls, but their re-
fined presence is completely ovcrshad-
owed by the pushing, noisy vulgarity Of
the registering girl Of the period. the
girl whose family is often excellent,
whose advantage socially and education
ally have been all that position and
wealth could command, yet who re-
mains to the END vulgar, selfish, and OBJ
trusiye.

The Real Gentlewoman's Dress.

Clara Belle, in Cincinnati Enquirer.
The dress of the real gentlewoman,
the truly refined and sensible of her
sex, is never in the height of fashion.
The first study of such a woman is to
seek the becoming; her second thought
the good, and her last what is merely
fashionable. She cleverly adapts the
fashion to herself. She will not stoop to
make herself a mere figure for the mod
'ste to hang her ware on. She has a
Jaw in her own mind, higher than the
law of fashion. She wears many nice
things, but probably the most becoming
OF them nave zen fashioned by her
'wn taste, frequently finished. perhaps,
Ey her W dett fingers, or at least she
has carefully superintendent their
manufacture. Many an envlous neigh
oor may have glanced at her tasteful
toilets, cynicaliy observing: "Her
she spending his earnings in French
fripperies." All this time her costume
is rarely rich, never very costly, often
not even new, for the genuine gentle
woman remembers the "bread-winner"
and home maker, the husband who
tolls.
But whatever she e is prettily
made, and never decked with guady
%tinsel, trumpery lace and sham jewels.
All is fresh and simple, good for their
kind, collars, cults, frills and gloves
alike faultiess. After all, there is no
great art in her fashions or in her ma
t~erials. Her secret consists in her
knowing the three great unities of dress
her own station, her own age and her
own good points. Above all, she takes
care that her plainest and cheapest
dress shall be well cut. She need not
he beautiful, nor even accomplished,
but we will answer for her being even
tempered. sensible, and that very rare
jewel in the present fast-going days, a
'perfect lady," a ''gentlewoman" in its
fullest and best sense.
