Seeds for Next Season.

Good seed, that you have grown
yourself. and has pedigree, the lon
ger the better, or has been bought of a
commercial seedman, with the good
sense to test his seeds before he sells
them, is essential to maximum crops.
fyour soil is all right and the fertili
zers abundant, you do not get the full
reward for labor. without the best seed.
The vitality of seed, its power to re-
produce its own kind, or something n
little better, depends upon the circ1m-
stances under which it is grown. He
redity has as much to do with seeds as
with animals. If the farmer under
stands this, and will watch over the
growth and purity of the seeds for his
crops, well and good. But very MANY
OF our farmers cannot, or will not do
this. Chralock is among their oats,
thistles among their wheat, daisies and
white weed among their grass seed.
Their corn is choked with weeds, and
runs to nubbins, or is imperfectly rip
ened, and their vegetable garden seeds
Ire so mixed that the varieties fail TO
come true to name, or are nameless.
They have no pride in garden products,
md do not exhibit at the fairs. Now |
the time to remedy these slovenly |
labits, and turn over new leaf with |
he new year. Vim. cliff in american

Winter Care of Work Horses.

For winter diet there is nothing
, better or cheaper than corn fodder,
with a ration of grain, generally oats,
varying according to circumstances.
For many years have never fed hay
to horses during the winter until the
corn fodder was entirely gone. Horses
are very fond of corn fodder and
thrive upon it better than on hay; it
has no tendency to produce trouble
with the wind, as hay is liable to do if
fed in excess, as it frequently is. The
fodder is slightly constipating, but
this should be remedied by ration of
wet bran now and then. Corn stalks
furnish both food and bedding. The
simplest way of feeding them is to
stand bundle in the manger and the
horse will eat it down closely, the hard
butts of the stalks being of course left.
The horse seems to know, what MANY
farmers do not seem to be able to
learn, that corn butts are of little value
as food. At the next feed throw the
stalk butts under the horse, and he
will require no other litter and keep
cleaner on this bed than on straw. The |
manure is difficult to take out, hut if |
it accumulates for few DAYS the
stalks will be broken and easier to re-
move. The actual cost of feeding
horses, of course, varies widely in ac-
cordance with the locality; near the
large cities, with high-priced pasture
land. hay, and grain, of course, are
much higher than in more remote dis
tricGs, so that an estimate expressed in
figures would not be of any value ex-
cept for the locality for which it was
made. The course of feeding above
laid down, is as well adapted as any
10 the circumstances of the ordinary
farmer. The stable should be WE'LL
cool, not cold and draughts
avoided if possible. The feet of horses,
lot at work, should be carefully exam
ned every few days, at least twice
week. The ordinary diseases of the
stable, "thrush" and scratches
IAN be prevented in most, l was about
o say in all, cases. Should anv dis
'ase become established consult a
veterinary surgeon at once.

Drink VS.. Credit.

sim not a Prohibitionist," said a
well-known business man to Chat the
other day, NOR temperance man in
the ordinary acceptation of the term,
though believe in sobriety; but there
is an aspect of this agitation that is be-
ing forced upon business men and will,
l think have strong moral influence.
If man in business is in the habit of
drinking much the commercial agen-
cies are taking cognizance of the fact
and it is often reported to parties of
whom he is seeking credit. This fact
may explain why, in some cases, he
doesn't get the goods ordered"
''You don't mean to say, said the
man of news, ''that because a man
takes drink now and then it is set
down against his credit in CONNER

Enlistments in the Army.

There's always good many more
that want to get into the army thar
can get in, says United States re.
cruiting officer in Philadelphia. You'd
be surprised, too, to see what respecta.
BILE looking men come here every day
to be examined. Many of them have
families, but have been out of work
for a good while and don't see any
prospect of getting a job during the
winter. l can tell when there's a
strike, or when the mills shut down,
simply by the increased numbers that
come to our station as recruits. Dur.
ing the present troubles among the
Kensington carpet mills there have
been many weavers, young men under
80, who have applied to be enlisted.
They say they prefer anything to loaf.

Fast Mail in 1896.

While rummaging in old papers be
other day, Gen. George w. Jones' of
Dubuque, Iowa, came across his appli-
cation made to Postmaster General
Randall, June 10, 1886, for a postal
route from "St. Louis to Dubuo,Ie ain
the territory of Missouri" 1t was
sent to Washington few DAYS after
the postmaster general had named
steamboat to carry the mail down the
Ohio river from Pittsburgh and LoAs-
vile to st. Louis at an expensY of
$4,000 yearly. Gen. Jones wrote:

But there was one fact that was forci-
bly, impressed upon me. In nineteen
cases out twenty my debtors had been
drinking men. do not mean to say
they were drunkards; in fact, very few
of them drank to excess. to my knowl-
edge, at the time the bills were con-
tracted. But unless one has had the
experience, or taken the pains to exam
inc into the matter, he has no idea how
easy it is, even for moderate drinker,
to spend one, two or three dollars day
for his conviviality. And, then, it's
not merely the money he spends out
right. He neglects his business more
or less. He is liable to get into the
habit of spending his money foolishly,
recklessly. And beyond all these
considerations there seems to be some
thing in drink itself or the associations
into which ii carries man that blunts
his moral sense that weakens that fine
feeling of honor among men which
leads them to strain every nerve to
meet honest debts. wont trust a man

If people are inquisitive about th'
