About Seed.

In either planting or g wing, the
quality Of the seed is Of more value
than many persons suppose. If the
seed is mixed with fowl seed. and all
seed not specially cleaned is more or
less 80, the time spen, in fully clean.
ing is time we'll spent. Grain seeds
should be first cleaned over sicyes
specially prepared fer the various
species. If very extra seed is re.
.quired, this may be gotten by cast.
ing the seed across the barn floor.
Now, if you always save your seed
from this heavy, perfect seed, sowing
',be next perfectly cleaned grade for
the general crop, it will be-if You
-start with pure seed-but a few
years until you have that in most
respects up to a true pedigree
variety
In relation to crops that require
cultivation, a short series Of years
will convince any experimenter of
the absolute necessity of using mono
but the best seed. Take the potato,
as an instance. The writer, years
ago, increased the earliness of the
Mercer potato a week by planting
liberal pieces Of the seed end, with
only three eyes left, and got also
smoothness by selecting as seed
only smooth, medium shaped speci.
mems. While the average of the
,crops-and in scarce seasons, small
potatocs-were planted for the
market crops, tho prime specimens
were always saved for planting for
seed.
The true way to cause a variety
to become weak and in time unfit
for cultivation is to plant inferior
seed. As being we'll attested, the
following experiment of Maj. Alvor.
ed, of Houghton farm, will serve as
a case in point: with eighty-two
varieties of potatoes the average
weight per hill from the whole tuber
medium sized--as seed was thirty
six ounces; that from the usual
'cutting-about three eyes-twenty.
four and a half ounces; that from
one eye, twenty ounceA"
Although particular seasons may
modify this, yet it is q well-known
fact that. expect that on rich, speci-
ally prepared soil, where the young
plant quickly gets hold, no good can
he done by planting small cuts Of
and here again is another
lesson: the richer the soil near thci
seed the better for the crops.

Thrift ON the Farm.

Thrifty ways seem to come nat
'urally with some people, and ouy
by watclfulness and training and
care to others. In the hands oil
some people you never see any but
good stock, we'll made fences, -four.
ishing crops, clean felds, and 9th.
-er evidences Of thrift. On a farm
along side of such q man you may
find everything just the other way.
10 one, farming is profitable and
life is 'easy; to the other, farming is
a poor business; he lives hard, and
cannot zee why any one ever wants
to farm for a living. The difference
between the men is that the former
has by nature or training thrifty
ways; what he does he does well
and with dispatch. The later has
not thrifty ways either by inheri.
aance or training; what he does, he
does in a thriftless fashion, and he
iails. The difference between these
