Cod Liver Oil.

II is surprising, If not nauseatinq, to
know how much of this filthy grease is
taken as medicine. One way to get the
oil is to put the livers in cask on the
seashore, when taken from the cod, and
let them rot, throwing off an offensive
odor as all know who are familiar with
fishing. BY many it is now believed
that 1t really has no special medicinal
value, and that it is never superior to
fresh butter nor as good as vegetable
oils.

An Arizona Reptile About Which the
Widest Tales Are Told.

The lizard family attains great per-
fection in the Southwest, climaxing in
the horrible creature called the Gila
monster of Arizona. This is a big black
lizard from foot to four feet in length.
He has pair of villainous, bead-like
black eyes in his head, beneath couple
of horny eyebrows that give his face an
uncommonly ferocious expression.
Around his neck is broad band OF
beautiful yellow, and | am convinced
that should a recently imported Irish
man run afoul of one of these vermin
he would consider himself in the pres
ence of the devil himself, wearing the
colors OF the Prince of Orange.
The Arizona prospectors tell the wild
est tales about the poisonous qualities
of the Gila monster, some even claim
ing that the reptile kills its prey by
breathing on it. Its poison is contained
in minute cells at the base of number
of saw-like teeth. Though naturally a
sluggish brute it at times exhibits the
most frightful quickness, darting like a
flash upon its prcy and seizing the same
between its Jaws. which it shuts and
keeps closed with the strength and
tenacity OF u swapping turtle. Mean
while the poison slowly exudes and pen
etrates the wounds made by the teeth,
and II the victim be an animal of lesser
degree than a man faintness and death
speedily ensue. The poison differs from
that of every known yenomous snake In
being an alkali, while that OF serpents
is acid. II acts directly ON the heart
and brain without local effects of sori.

Testing the Vitality OF Seeds.

When it is such an easy matter to
test the seeds one proposes to plant, it
is generally best to take the time to do
it. This work may be done any time
now, and then the planter will be in
readiness with the advent OF spring. 1t
is always best to procure seeds which
are to be purchased, or in any way
gotten from others, early in the season.
Upon their arrival let the first leisure
time be employed in determining their
vitality. ........ ...
On this subject Prof. G. E. Morrow,
of the Illinois Industrial University,
writes the Prairie Farmer as follows:
ut is probable there is even less good
seed corn in the great producing
regions of the West than was to be
found last spring. 1t is especially i'm
portant that farmers should be sure OF
the vitality of the seed to be used,
whether that grown by themselves or
that purchased. An experienced farmer
can form pretty accurate opinion by
carefully examining the germ. Often a
look at the cob or kernels is sufficient
to enable one to decide against the
sample
'But actual test, by sprouting, is .by
far the safest method. This need not
be especially troublesome. 1t is desra-
BILE to select kernels from considera-
BILE number of ears, and from near the
middle of the ears, as sometimes ker-
nels from tips or butts will germinate
when those near the middle will not.
"These kernels may be placed in earth
in any pan or dish, the earth being kept
moist and at moderate temperature, by
being kept in warm room. A still
more convenient method is to place the
kernels between layers of moist cotton
or almost any kind of cloth. If the
cloth is kept moist and the temperature
somewhere near sixty degrees, two OIL
three days time will show whether the
corn can be depended on for seed. II
is safe to make some discount from the
percentage which germinates, as the
conditions in early planting may be less
favorable.
If the ears are selected from bins OF
cribs, care should be taken to try those
near the center. at least in part. Most
farmers will admit the desirability OF
some mode of testing seed corn, and
yet a large majority fail to make any
sufficient test"
A correspondent of the Journal d. Agri.
culture Pratique recommends a test
which he has used for many years with
complete success. 1t is that of fire.
Take at random number of seeds from
the bag, say, eight. Put some live coals
on shovel, and deposit each of the
seeds successfully thereon. Blow the
coal, and watch how the seed behaves.
If the combustion is slow, merely giving
off some smoke, you may conclude that
the seed had a damaged germ; if, on
the other hand, the seed leaps and turns
about on the coal, producing dry
sound (tac) proportional to the size, it
may be inferred to have good germina-
tive qualities. In this way the proper
ton of good and bad seeds may be as
certained. As for the larger seeds, such
as acorns and chestnuts, 1t is sufficient
to throw them into fire. and Keep
them in view. If the quality is good,
this will be indicated ere long by the
detonation of the seed. Prairie Farmer.
