seeds used were obtained from reputa-
BILE seedsmen. Among those which re-
tanned their terminating power longest,
or for several years, were tomato, broc.
coli, beet, pea, cucumber, muskmclon,
eggplant, lettuce, turnip and yellow
locust. About half of the locust seeds
gorminated at ten years, and one-eightll
at twenty-seven years. Turnip seed
scarcely deteriorated in seven or eight
years, and half grew at twelve years.
Tomatoes showed slight change al
fourteen years, and very little at differ
ercnt lesser periods. Lettuce was
good at four or five years. Musk
melon seed lost nothing at ten years,
and cucumber endured nearly as we'll
At thirteen years half of the cucumber
seed grow, and at nineteen years seven
per cent. Beets began to lose slightly
at six years, and from tenth to thirt
grew at fourteen years.
Among the seeds which begin ia

years, were asparagus, thyme, endive
eggplant, corn, cabbage, carrot, cauli

Why the Finest Grades of Toa Are

1t requires about four pounds Of
fresh leaves to make one pound of dried
tea, and the yield is three to four hun
dred pounds per acre. Bohea is tho
coarsest of the Chinese teas. The best
quality Of black tea is pekoe, which
consists of the very youngest leaves
while they are still clothed with down.
The finest teas, both green and black,
are rarely seen in this country, because,
If packed in large lots and conveyed in
the hold Of Il ship, fermentation takes
place, which destroys their quality.
1t is mostly consumed by the wealthy
Chinese or finds its way overland to
Russia.
1t may be added here for the benefit
OF the many who know not how to
make good tea that the quality of the
infusion is greatly influenced by the
character of the water with which it il
made, hard water never producing thu
best effectin tea-making. The wealth,

LonaFELLow's YOUTH.

/. H
Tho Discoura gements Which the Young
Poet Had to Overcome.
Hawthorne once said in speaking Of
mis-, own early life and the days at Bow
doin College, where he and Longfellow
were ip the same class, that no two
young men could have been more un-
like. Longfellow, he explained, was a
tremendous student, and always care
fully dressed, while he himself was eX-
tremely careless Of his appearance, no
student at all and entirely incapable
at that period of appreciating Longfel-
low. Later in life a warm friendship
grew up between them, and find u
little note from Longfellow inwhich he
says he has had sad letter from Haw-
thorne,i and adds: II wish we could
have a little dinner for him, of two sad
authors and two jolly publishers, no.

OF Longfcllow's student days Mr..
Fields once wrote; II hope they keep
bright the little room numbered twen-
ty-seven in Main Hall in Bowdoin Col
lege, for it was in that pleasant apart
ment, looking out on the pine groves,
that the young poet Of nineteen wrote
many of those beautiful earlier pieces,
now collected in his works. These
early poems were all composed in 1924
and 1925, during his last years in col
lege, and were printed first in peri
odical called the United States Literdry
Gazette, the sapient editor of which
magazine once kindly advised the
ardent young scholar to give up poetry

NO good can come of it, he said; don't

outside his Window kept up perpetual
melody in his heart, and he could not
choose but sing back to them. Mrs.

The longer you keep eggs the less

fortnight is the longest we advise.
Keep them in bran or oats and turn
them occasionally. albany Journal.
For late potatoes it is very doubt

same field in succession. The crop
should be changed to some other hoed
crop, or laid down to grass Western

Salt mired with the eggs prevents
them from rising, and when used the

The careful poultry keeper should
take view of the fowls at night, after
they have gone to roost and see that
they are comfortable, not too crowded,
with room enough for the weak ones
to get away from the strong, who are
apt to tyranize. Boston Transcript.

1t is a wasteful policy, that of ex-
hausting the soil so it will no longer
pay the cost of cultivation. The feed
ing of stock, carting the manure on Che
land, aud proper rotation will keep the
soil intact. Hence it is more profitable
everywhere to feed all the coarse grains
on the farm than to sell. Once the ex-
haustive process is begun it becomes
every year more difficult to make u

If the farm is all tillable, l should
divide the sixteen acres into four Sec
tions of four acres each, but it Is not
necessary to fence it, except the four
acres where the house and barn stand.
This plat | should divide up in the fol-
loving way: Two acres for house,
small lawn, kitchen, garden, barn
yard, etc. This is rather large, l
think, and less would do if the house
and barn are in the right position;
but call it two acres. Then one acre

currants and Strawberries. One acre

that the trees do much better where

four poultry houses, with yards for

one yard of either buff, white or part
ridge Cochins for sitters; one yard of
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandotts and
two of Lcghorns-the Cochins for sit
ters, the Plymouth Rocks for early
broilers and the Leghorns for eggs.
The remaining twelve acres l should
use as follows: four acres for
clover, four acres for soiling
crops and the remaining four
acres for corn and potatoes. On
so small place wheat and oats
do not pay. The twelve acres should
be rotated with clover, roots, millet,
fodder corn and any thing that will do
for feed.
/ On the place four cows (and they
must be good ones, not necessarily OF
long pedigrees, but of individual merit)
can be kept for the first two or three
years; after that more can be added.
