seed have produced, to date, sixty-eight
pods, of which thirty.eight are we'll filled,
while an equal number Of plants from the
latest ripencd seed have produced to date
only forty nine pods, of which but thir-
teen can be called well filled. The Tom
Thumb variety was selected for this trial
because the pods are formed during a
longer period than in most other varie.
ties. 1t is possible that in varieties Of
which the pods nearly all ripen at the
same time, the difference in the results
obtainable from the first and last ripened
pods would be less marked. This cXpor-
iment serves, however, to illustrate the
Importance of selection in gathering peas
for seed, and shows that the inherant
quality of the seed used may have as
much bearing on the resulting crop as the
condition of tho soil, or the methods Of
cultivation employed.

Vanderbilt and Garrison.
Washington Herald.

washington Herald.
| learn that the long-standing differ
ence between the Vannerbilts and CARR
sons have at last been settled. The story
of this feud and its origin has never been
told before in print. 1t commenced in
1849. That year captain, now called
Commodore Garrison, went from the
Mississippi river to New York, having
had a difficulty in 1S48, which resulted
in his killing his antagonist. The dead
man had many friends, and William c..
Rallston, his clerk, persuaded Garrison
ger if he stayed there, and therefore he
had better quit the Mississippi rivo for
good. Having quite n fortune, Garrison
took the advice, and went to New York
to begin anew. At that time Commo-
dore Vanderbilt owned a line of sailing
vessels from New York to San Francisco.
Garrison proposed to buy out this line,
and after some negotiation Il price and
terms were agreed upon. Before the
first payment was made gold was discoy-
cred in California, and tke line at once
became enormously valuable, and Com
modore Vanderbilt, though he had
made n contract, fatty refused to
conclude the sale and turn over the pro-
perty. Garrison did all he could to get
possession, but to no effect. One morn
ing he went to Vanderbilt's office, and,
laying down the sum agreed upon as tho
first payment and the contract, asked
Vanderbilt TO take the money and sign
the contract. He refused to do so in
rather harsh words. Garrison deliber.
ately went to the doorof the room, locked
it, and put the key in his pocket. He
then drew a siX-inch Derringer pistol,
cooked it, and said: Commodore Van.

bilt picked up his pen, took the paper,
signed it, blotted it, and handed
it to Garrison. As the latter took it the
clock struck the first stroke of IL. Gar.
rison unlocked the door, and went away,
That afternoon the news of Nanderbilt's
capitulation caused much wonders. Gar.
rlson was asked how it had happened.
ooh, | suppose the old man saw he had
been wrong, was all the reply he ever
made. The episode of the pistol and the
dramatic Incident attending the signature
Garrison never spoke of. Twenty years
after it occurred, Commodore Vanderbilt
himself told the story. For years every
thing Vanderbilt could do was done to
thwart the stout old commodore who had
compelled him to de what he had prom
Used. But Garrison throvo wonderfully
IN California. He made the house Of
Garrison, Fritts Il Rallston u power ON
the Pacific slope. His old partners are
dead and he is fighting disease with an
indomitable courage. Garrison has lived
years and years longer than his family
could have hoped for. The loss of his
eldest son n few months ago greatly
shocked him, and in his last days he has
forgiven all his enemies, and, rs | hear,
there is peace between him and his great
rivals family at last.

Selecting seed for Planting.

A recent bulletin Of the New York Gx-
detrimental station contains the following:
To illustrate the value of selection in
gathering peas for seed, we last season
gathered a small quantity Of the first pods
that ripened of the Tom Thumb variety
and a small quantity Of the latest ones.
We planted one hundred seeds each from
the earliest and latest pods on April II,
and the same on May u. We note the
difference in the results Of the two selec-
tions of seed to date, as follows; In vege
tation of the seeds there was in the two
paintings an average difference Of l48 per
cent. in favor of the earliest matured
seed; in the date of blooming an average
difference Of three and one-half days APP.
peared, and in the date of edible maturi.
ty an average difference of five days, all
in favor of the tirst.planting. Perhaps Of
more importance is the difference in pro.
ductiveness of the two selections of seed.

Preserving Eggs.

No articles employed for human food
are liable to as great deterioration as
eggs. Various methods have been sug-
gested or employed for keeping eggs laid
during warm weather so that they will be
in a condition to use in the winter, when
strictly fresh ones are very scarce and
high. A method is greatly needed for
preserving those that are to be eaten
during the summer and fall. A very
large proportion Of the eggs that are sold
in large cities after the month of May are
unfit to eat. The uncertainty of their
condition prevents them from being
common articles of food. They are used
for pies, buildings, and pastry, but a much
smaller number are served as eggs usually
are when they are known to be in strictly
good condition. Could customers be
assured that all the eggs they bought were
in a condition to be eaten when boiled or
fried the demand for them would be
doubled, even if the price was increased.
At the present price of fresh meat city
customers could afford to pay % cents pei
dozen for eggs if they were assured all
they bought We're strictly fresh, The
uncertainty of their condition causes their
diminished consumption after the close
of spring. The losses on eggs sustained
b%yshippers, dealers and consumers amount
to many millions of dollars every year.
There is a prejudice against the employ,
ment of antiseptics that will penetrate
the shells of eggs and thereby aid in pre-.
serving the contents. What is wanted is
a method of excluding the air so simple
that it can be employed on eggs before
they are sent to market. A covering il
wanted that shall be adhesive and i'm
permeable to air and moisture, anC
which will not injure the appearance o
the shells.

FARM NOTES..
The Breeding and Rearing of Horses

h''N D'N'N''S wv 'S W =
Western Agriculturist.
The demand for good horsce of all
classes is increasing to a perfect enthusi.
asm throughout the west. The demand
for imported draft horses, Normans and
Clydesdales is increasing beyond the
limited supply of France and Scotland.
The editor of The New York Times
gives the following well considered and
practical views on this subject:
The breeding and rearing of live stock
has always been one of the most protita-
bic branches of agricultural industry, and
of all kinds of live stock horses have
been and are the most profitable. A com
parison of the market values of cattle and
horses proves this very conclusively
taking a central point, as Chicago, for in
stance, as an example, the following fig
ures, showing the values as taken from
recent published market report of sales,
may he uivpn,
Omaha daily bee., 1883-08-15
may be given

These figures possess II world of signiti-
canoe. A high-bred steer in whose
breeding and rearing the best skill has
been exercised brings in the market Z
cts. a pound on foot. A horse bred and
reared under similar circumstances, but
at no greater cost, excepting perhaps for
the service of the sire, brings 81 per
pound on foot; a fair carriage horse bred
from much less select stock, and valued
mostly for its form and carriage, is
worth about 30 cents n pound. AS we
approach the lowest grades Il similar diff
ference exists, always greatly in favor of
the horse, until we reach the commonest
grades, which unfortunately, but by no
means necessarily, are the most numer-
Gus, and then it is found that while a
poor steer brings 3 to 4 cents n pound, IA
poor horse brings 81 cents. Indeed, it is
a very poor horse that sells for so low n
price as $50, and such a one as any am
bilious farmer would be ashamed to drive
upon the road in anything better than a
manure wagon, and even her he would
feel meanly if a neighbor eyed his team
too closely. A very mistaken view is too
often taken of this business.
AS business increases and the country
grows, the necessity for horses increases
in a great ratio; while as wealth becomes
more largely distributed, there is a
demand for the best kind of horses which
so far outstrips the supply that the
breeder is enabled to put his own price
upon his animals IN many cases, and it is
paid without a question or hesitation. In
this business, then, there is room for all,
but as in all others there is most at the
top; and a most liberal recompense for
those who have the tact and skill to
succeed in producing the best article.
The few good horses bring such tempt
ing prices that farmers are anxious to
know how they can get a share of the
better part of the business of rearing
them. In the first place, it is necessary
to begin at the foundation and start right.
This is by using only sound and good
mares, and selecting an unobjectionable
sire. This selection should be made with
a view to some clearly defined purpose.
If this is to real a general purpose horse,
one hat will sell on sight in the nearest
town or city as a light draft horse, or &
farm horse; or to raise Il heavy draft
horse for draying purposes, or a stylish
animal for a carriage horse, or a speedy
one for a roadster, the mare and the sire
should both be suitable, but especially
the latter, for in breeding horses the sire
possesses the greatest power of impress
ing his character upon the progeny, more
especially if his breeding is superior.
For heavy horses the Clydesdale anc
the Norman are without rivals. TIL,
Norman horses, of which 50 many hav'
been introduced into the west, when wei
chosen, produce the most valuable colt
for heavy draft purposes. However, i
is quite clear that the farmer must stud,
out this for himself, and only the genera
principle, viz: that he must first form
purpose and then take the requisite mean
for carrying it into effect, can be her,
laid down. To do this he must becom,
acquainted with the various classes o
horses and their adaptation to differen
uses by a close study of the subject.
