Saving Seed.

| There are many varieties of seed
that. with little pains, the farmer
would find he can save more econom-
ically than he can purchase, and have
the advantage of knowing that his seed
is genuine, fresh and reliable. Every
| farmer is aware, of course, that some
| seed is more difficult to clean and save
than others, AMI that number of
| plants do not mature their seeds in one
season, but that the plants must be
wintered over and allowed to grow an
other season to properly mature One
advantage with this class of seeds is,
You are better able to Judge what
plants are best to mature for seed.
Lettuce, radishes, mustard. spinach.
tomatoes, melons. squashes and cucum-
bers all mature seeds the first year. 4
selection OF the plant must be made be-
fore it is fully matured. | find it Il
good plan TO select some of the earliest
plants. considerable more than | en-
pect to save the seed from. and either
mark them by sticking down an ear
stalk or transplantin@ to place BY
themselves, and then before the seed
natures destroy those that do not come
up to what IeXpeetcd.
One fault with many who save gar
den seed is, they are tao Willing 10 save
the leavings; the bed of lettuce is picked
over and used and what is left is al
lowed to 90 to seed. Peas and beans
are picked over until those that are
missed in picking get too ripe and are
finally gathered for seed. No wonder
in n short time the seed runs out and
the crop fails to come up to your expec-
tations. The best, and only the best.
must be saved for seed, and these should
be early as well as prolific.
With peas and beans, my plan is to
save as many rows as | think will fur
nish me with what l will need. and then
select the earliest and best OF. these: and
the same with lettuce. radishes and
spinach-select a number of plants and
from the best of these select what /
want for seed. These are nearly all
easily cleaned and packed. / always
wait until the larger per cent. of the
seed is ripe and then cut off the tops
and let dry day or two. l believe it
to be the best policy to dry these in
shade, then lay the tops on clean
sheet and threSh out the seed: they can
be very easily cleaned by holding up
and letting run down upon a sheet, the
winds will blow out the larger per cent
of trash.
If melons. squashcs. etc, are wanted
for seel, they should not be planted
close together, rs they will mix. If you
do not intend saving seed from them. it
does not SO much matter. In raising
cucumbers | always allow one or two
vines to mature seed. while the rest are
carefully picked clean. With tomatoes,
the earliest. largest and smoothest
should be reserved for seed Both of
these plants should be allowed to Law a
few days after picking before cleaning.
Washing is the quickest way of clean
ing pulpy seeds of all kinds.-Cor

THE oUTCAST.

The audience at the New Haven Opert
 House last evening, drawn by the announce
 ment of new star and new play to this
 city, was not dismissed until long after il
 o'clock. This is accounted for by the fact
 that the performance was a first one. The
 dialogue has still to be subjected to the re- morseless scissors and they will doubt less be allowed to cut deep. Not withstanding the entire performance was one of unusual excellence and won the close attention and frequent applause of the au- ditors. The play, adapted from the French of M. Edmond About, embodies the inevita- b1e characteristics of the French play wright. One is treated to the passions of love, jeal- ousy, hatred, despair and the results of each in fascinating and thrilling scenes. making the drama one of uncom- mon strength and interest.

Prospects For The Coming City
 And Town E1eclfOns-The Political
 Pot BoflIng-Varfous Candidates In
 The Race.
 Now that the presidential election is over and it is decided that Grover Cleveland will be the next President of the United States, the local politicians are preparing for city and town elections, which occur in Decem- Der. The candidates are as plentiful as usual, and the friends of the various office seekers are pulling all the "strings" that they can reach in favor of their particular candidates
 In the city government there are several aspirants for the mayoralty, among the num- Der named on the Democratic side being F. s. Andrew, William J. Mills and George F. Holcomb, with the prospect that t'dark horse" may enter the race and take away the prize. MT. Mills followers at present seem to have the inside track The Republicans, though somewhat demoralized over recent presidential events, have Gan anchor to the windward" and may bring out candidate who will rout the Democratic forces and secure man for mayor that will be satisfactory to all parties. In this con necticn General Samuel E. Merwin and Hon. Henry G. Lewis, the present incumbent, are named.
 In the struggle for positions under the town government the contest also waxes yarn yarn, It is said that MT. Benjamin R. English for town agent, al though it is stated on good authority that had it not been for MT. Reynolds MT. Troup would have been defeated for representative MT. Troup it is also understood is advocat- ing the claims of John Shuster for a member of the Board of Selectmen, thereby exemp1ifying that doctrine of scripture that Ffthe lion and the lamb shall lie down together and a little child shall lead them" Who the child is that is to lead them has not yet appeared, but it is supposed to be some Independent Republican who after aiding in the cleo ton of Democratic President now seeks to pour oil on the troubled waters of the local Democracy and if possible bring the brethren into close harmony.
 Ernest Klenke is also a candidate for Selectman, both he and Sinister seeking the place now occupied by George J. Faulhaber. J. J. Kennedy, the saloon-keeper on Church street, is just now booming up as candidate for town clerk and is also said to be affTroup candidate" as against Mir. Hugo, the present incumbent.
 There is no opposition so far as is known on the Democratic side to the nomination of Timothy J. Crowley for city clerk or of John w. Lake for present venerable city sheriff, Mir Hollis One thing is evident, and that is that if the Democrats continue to quarrel among them selves the Republicans, by making judicious nominations, may step in and secure the vari- ous prizes.

TALL SPEOImENS.

Something New fin New HaVenss
 Clock Manufacturing Interests
 Large TfmekeePers.
 At the New Haven Clock company among the new styles of clocks now being manu- factured ,are some which command immediate notice and admiration when seen, for their elegance and large size and their fine work manship. Few of our citizens outside of the manufactory have as yet seen these new clocks, although many who worship at the Church of the Redeemer have seen one which hangs in the lecture room of the church and is Q gift to the church from President Hiram Camp of the Clock company. There are two kinds of these large clocks now being made. One kind is made to attach to the wall, the other is the Grandfather's clock. Both have cases seven feet long and are made elegantly of choice oak, black walnut, or other choice woods, richly finished and polished. They are sturdy regulators" and the long pendulum with it's grave, measured swing beats seconde-one at each swing. Both kinds are made part es striking clocks and part as non-striking as patrons fan cy, sometimes one kind, sometimes the other The striking clocks strike the hour very mus ieally on bells sounding like Cathedral bells." These varities of clocks are made for large offices railroads, banks, public build ings and fine residences and are something new in clock manufacturing in this city. They run eight days. The style and make of the movements was evolved from the busy brain of President Camp, whose reputation as an inventor of note is co-extensive with the clock manufacturing interest of the world.
