A successful farmer finds it to his in
terest that his neighbors should also be
successful. A single instance of we'll
ordered and productive fields does not
make the reputation of an entire locality
for profitable agricultural enterprises.
1t becomes noted for fertility, and
acquires comparative importance as .
center of production, when the number
of good farmers is in the majority;
when its yields of grain or hay or other
crops attract general notice; when
buyers learn that such . country town
will supply the largest quantity and
finest quality of butter or cheese or
wool or apples or other specially; when
those who travel observe the general
excellence of roads, the beauty of the
shade that overhangs them, the neat
ness Of the lawns BY which they arc
bordered, the orchards and gardens
that adjoin them, the evident prosperity
Of the community at large. TO what
extent the money value Of ones land
who lives in such q community is en-
HANGED fhereby-not to mention the
pleasure and profit of associating with
those having similar aims for improve
ment and gradually securing similar
means for attaining it-would be diff
cult TO determine, - Country Gentleman.

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. and that number of
plants do not mature their seeds in one
season, but that the plants must be
wintercd 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. A
selection of the plant must be made be-
fore Il is fully matured. / find it q
good plan to select some of the earliest
plants, considerable more than / ex-
pect to save the seed from, and either
marx them by sticking down an ear
stalk or trsnsplanting to q place BY
themselves, and then before the seed
natures destroy those that do not come
up 10 what I expected. :
One fault with many who save gar
den seed is, they are too willing to save
the leavings; the bed OF lettuce L picked
over and used and what is left is al
lowed togo 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 q 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 IS many rows as think will fur
nish me with what win need, and then
select the earliest and best of these; and
the same with lettuce, radishes and
spinach--select 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. believe it
to be the best policy to dry these in
shade, then lay the tops on o. clean

does not so much matter. In raising
cucumbers I 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 lay q
few days after picking before cleaning.
Washing is the quickest way of clean
ing pulpy seeds OF all kinds.-Cor.

English farmers keep three sheep on

country we have one sheep for every
thirty-fou acres. The English wheat
crop averages, in ordinary seasons,

q little less than twelve. There may

the rare praise of having discovered

and costume reunions, in which invent

the guests, it seemed that nothing new
in that line could be devised. Some
thing new has been devised, and is now
in the full swing Of Partisan patronage
and popularity. Dances are given in
which the hostess assumes national
ity. The Parisienne is content for the
night to be q Spaniard, Pole, Neo-
politan, and as is the hostess SO must
be her guests. The mise en- scene is
vigorously correct. In one salon you
might fancy yourself in Madrid; es-
pecially il you had never been there.
