Some statements were made by the
members of the Massachusetts HOrticul-
tural Society, at a late meeting in Boston,
on subjects connected with raising and
planting garden seeds, which are worthy
OfrecOrd in condensed form for our readers.
w. w. RawsOn said that a seed grower
always must have two farms, for planting
varieties at distance to prevent mixing
or crossing. The age of seeds for planting
is important. Some are improved by age
Cucumbers and squashes will make less
vines or running stems from old seed than
new. Cabbages head better when grown
from seed two or three years old. This
fact, said Mr.. RawsOn, he had proYed
from experience. Parsnip, beet and onion
seed must be used when fresh. CaulflOWer
seed is one of the most difficult to grow;
he would rather pay fifty dollars pound
than to raise it. j. j. II. Gregory, of wide
experience, said that good seed is at the
bottom of all good farming. There can
be no success with poor seed. Onion
seed, grown on clay, is heavier and will
yegetate better than if grown on light soil.
The quality of seeds depends on selection:
he had seen thousands of pounds of onion
seed raised from small bulbs, which could
not give the best crops. In a bad season
you cannot get a good crop, of cabbage
for instance, from the best seed. An hon
est man will not send out poor things. G.
NJ. HOVey said that cucumbers from old
seed fruit were good deal better and melon
plants are shorter iointed and flower at
the third and fourth joint, while from fresh
seed they would not give flower till the
tenth. Oily seeds, like the cucumber,
will keep longest. Mr.. Gregory had plant
ed beet seed of some varieties eight years
old and nearly all grew, but there is a
limit. j. FillebrOwn had some onion seed
ten years old and beet seed fifteen years,
most of which grew. Good seeds of the
squash family are white inside when
broken, but if dark and rancid are worth
less. Mr.. RawsOn said those who grow
cucumbers to much extent always have
number of swarms of bees for fertilizing
the flowers.

Kindness on the Farm Does Pay.


Have my brother farmers ever noticed
/ or realized the great benefit to be derived
from the daily practice of kindness on the
/ farm! Ii they have not, it is full time
they were giving it their earnest atten-
! ton.
Kindnessi it is so light, so easily car
RED about, always at hand to bestOw on
man or beast; and it is a real pleasure to
bestow it. 1t leaves such a lasting i'm
preston for good; the recipient always
meets you with pleasant welcome, and

| compound interest. My own experience

so grand, that l would not exchange it for
mines of gold.
In the morning when / go out the first
to greet me is my dog. He comes for his
''Good morning, Spot" and few pats on
the head, then he is my companion on my
stroll about the farm. The next to meet
TO meet me are the chickens; they hold a
regular jubilee and we form procession
ana march TO the barn. At the gate find
the COWS with their kindly ''ba'a." They.
too, march with the crowd; and when the
crib is reached, a small nubbin and
handful of corn pays them for their greet
ing. A few kind words to blossom" or

who is eating his breakfast in the stable;
and his loud, cheerful ''nIcker'' tells that

then he seems content and goes on with

all seem to appreciate kindness. What

they have got. My dog is so watchful of

tiently for nay return.
When | come home at evening | meet
the children at the gate, waiting for me
with eager expectation, and on the porch
| am greeted by the tidy person and smil-
ing features of my wife. This reception
dlspels all trouble and care, repaying a
thousand-fold my confidence and kind
ness. But the profits do not stop here. l

hands are ready to relieve me from further
care and labor. Fem the youngest to the
Oldest, whether my own family or the
help, each tries to excel the other in kind
offices, knowing that their interest and
zeal will be rewarded by kind and encour-
aging words.-PrdiYie Farmer.

A proper temperature is an indispensa-
bic condition of termination. This varies
in different kinds of seeds. Barley and
rye will terminate in a moist soil as low
as 40 degrees, or eight degrees above the
freezing point. Oats and wheat require
mean temperature of nearly 80 degrees
to sprout them, while corn, in moist earth,

grees. Seeds endure the other extreme
also. A sack of corn plunged in boiling
water and kept in 1t a few minutes will
not be harmed, but constant tempera-
ture above 100 degrees viii destroy all
chances of termination. Blue grass, even
after the sprOut has started, is often killed
by the direct rays of a summer sun.

pounds of phOsphOric acid (insoluble),

A correspondent of the New York Iri-
bune writes: 81 notice in the Tribune and
other papers statements to the effect that
many sheep are dying this spring from a
disease known as grub in the head. The
cause, symptoms and results Of this NAL
ady are correctly described in the articles
L have seen. If taken in time the disease
is easily cured, but if not there is no
remedy. 1t is caused by a peculiar kind
Of fly, which deposits its eggs in the nos
trils of the sheep in hot weather. These
eggs develop toward spring into grubs,
which eat into the brain and invariably
produce death. A sure remedy is this:
After the hot weather is over and the
eggs deposited, make a strong decOction
OF Scotch snuff and asaf9tida, and then
inject with syringe about a tablespoon
full into each nOstril. The sheep will reel !
and stagger like a drunken man after the |
operation, but there is no danger. l was
brought up on a farm in New York and !
have seen this remedy applied on thou |
sands of sheep, and always with success. !
The snuff induces the most violent sneez-
ing, which dislodges and elects the eggs. |
No sheep properly treated in the manner |
described will ever die of this disease. |
But when the grub is once Matched and |
developed there Is no remedV.c

CHAPTER XII.

When l returned to the Farm l found
everything much as | left il, except as re-
garded Liska.
The change in the child was not only
noticeable, but extremely gratifying to
me. The little face had frightened, and
much of the vivacity which had marked
her manner during the first days had re-
turned. Therefore | felt convinced that
she was now fully prepared to enter upon
the course of study which l had marked
out tor her.
Recognizing the fact that no science
stands solitary, but maintains close re-
latiOn and interactiOn with every other
science in the department of study, en-
deavOred to open up to her mind such a
system of study and reflection as should
make her acquainted with the relation
ship of any one fact of science to the my
Rad of other facts in other sciences.
This course was especially adhered to
in her historical studies, for the science
of human life has been the last to admit
or to profit by this interactiOn of sciences.
History has had the dullest eXpound-
ers," l said to her one day, when we were
talking together in the library. ut is
most uncommon thing to see a historian
acknowledging the interaction of land
and people upon one an0ther's character
and destiny. Take the Hellenic races,
for instance. Suppose they had settled in
a mOuntain-bOund country of rigorous
climate. What would have become of the
airy fancies, the poetic conceptions, the
sensuous beauty of the Greek ideal? As
it was, they were in the midst of an
island-studded sea. The soft breeZes of
summer wOoed them; the calm, unruffled
sea held out its loving invitation to them,
and they went down in boats to its cool
embrace. Thus was developed a wide
spreading and wealth-prOducing COM
merce with their neighbOrs. The marble
of their hills, and the soft woods of the
/ forest awoke into conscious beauty for
them; and, as a result, we have the Olym-
/ plan gods, AphrOdite, and Pallas and
I all the thrOng which have made immortal
/ the heights of Athens and the temples by
/ the sea. In the North, on the other hand y
seeing that she had not failed to follow
me, ''in the North, on the other hand, we
can trace again the Intersections of mere
physical with mental forces. Goodness OF
climate and an abundance of mineral
stores have developed thrifty race de-
lighting in mining, and in the invention

responsibility must rest mainly upon
individuals themselves. Cholera has long
