VEGETABLE SEEDS.
The Quantities Required for Given
Lengths OF DIi i'll.

The Quantities Required for Given
Lengths OF Dbl
Careful records of the quantity OF
seeds used in those vegetables ordi-
narily sown in drills shows that the
quantity required is usually much less
than that recommended by seedsmen.
The following figures indicate the ex-
tent to which this is true, the guam
titles recommended being taken from
Henderson's new Gardening for
Profit"
Peas-One quart to 100 feet of drill
recommended; $50 feet of drill used
four quarts of McLean's advancer, or
one quart to every 2123 feet; $50 feet
of American wonder required 81
quarts, or one quart to about 245 feet
feet of drill; $50 feet of McLean's little
gem used three quarts, or one quart
for every 1884 feet; $50 feet of Rural
New Yorker used 81 quarts, or one
quart for over 261 feet of drill;
$50 feet of Cleveland's Alaska required
three quarts, or one quart for 1884 feet.
These figures indicate that the recon-
mendations of Henderson are from over
twice to almost three times too high.
The following figures will show that
our sowings were thick enough: One
pint of McLean's advancer contains
1000 seed. A pint sowed "a trifle over
LOG feet of drill, giving something
over Is peas for every foot of drill, or
plant every four-fifths of an inch.
Radishes-One ounce for 100 feet OF
drill recommended: 1000 feet of drill,
sown thickly to early long scarlet
short-top, required nine and one-half
ounces of seed. In this case the recon-
mendation is not extravaganza
Beets-One ounce to fifty feet OF
drill recommended: Long dark blood,
eclipse and Bassano each required four
ounces of seed for 334 feet of drill, or
an ounce for eighty-three and one-half
thick. An ounce of long dark blood
beat contains about /, 300 fruits or seed,
or over fifteen and one-half fruits to
each foot of drill, and we sowed them.
Parsnip-One ounce to 200 feet of
drill is recommended; 1000 feet of drill
of hollow crown took four ounces OF
seed, or an ounce to $50 feet of drill.
The sowing was made in very hard
ground, where a thick growth of seed
lings is necessary in order to break
the crust. Yet the sowing proved over
twice too thick.
Carrot-One ounce for $50 feet OF
drill recommended; $50 feet in hard
ground used II ounces Of seed, or an
ounce for ever 377 feet of drill, and
even then the stand was much thicker
than desirable.
Salsify-One ounce is recommended
for 70 feet of drill; u ounces were used
Ia 558 feet, or an ounce for about "A

were correct. Prof Bailey, Michigan

THE ART OF KISSING.
An Essay That Reads as Though It Had
Been Written by Woman.

An Essay That Reads as Though It Had
Been Written by a Woman.
In the old days when powder and
rouge were indispensable, a gallant
gentleman kissed the hand of his fair
lady. And her hand was kept im-
maculate, that his kiss might mean
much to him. Nowadays men don't
stoop to kiss your hand; it would get
their trousers out of shape. So a clean
face becomes a necessity to woman
who has any liking for that expression
of affection which is generally APP
proved Of and seldom we'll done. The
only kiss worth having, says writer
on the subject, is that of a nice baby,
and yet the baby doesn't give it; it
only submits to it, and keeps it's sweet,
dainty, perjury little mouth shaped
like an o, as it waits for you to discover
how delightful it is. Mems kisses are
like Scotch whisky-they are apt to be
smoky. Children's kisses are inclined
to cover ones entire face, but baby
simply exists and lets you take
mouthful of the breath of Araby. Men
have an idea that their kisses are APP
preciated. They are most immensely
mistaken. The average man gives a
kiss just as he throws a baseball
with too much force. 1t ought to be
as delicate as rose leaf. Almost a
memory in second. 1t need not sug-
gest postage stamp nor porous
plaster. One lady says: Il could write
a book on kissing, but mankind is SO
determined that I don't think he'd
take any advice on the subject, and
vet, as it is the women who receive the
kisses, they certainly ought to know
more about them than the great big
stupid creatures who give them. -

Opportunity and Ability.

Opportunity is as important as ability
to any mans success in life; for unless a
man has an opportunity to show his
ability, his ability can never appear to adj
vantage. But opportunities are always
showing themselves, while men with
ability are not always ready to avail
themselves of the opportunities that open
before them. When, therefore, you and
a man who thinks that all he lacks of
success is good opportunity..to display his
ability. you find man who has let slip q

THREE CHRISTMAS SCENES

Reflected by the yule logs generous glow.
A Yule-tde festival and she its queen
The rustic daughter of a sturdy race,
Who owes her sway to her enhancing mIen,
And holds it by the beauty of her face.
And so the tide OF JOY awakes and swells.
In glad abandonment of eager mirth.
Till dawn bursts forth, and all the pealing bells
Salute the day that gave the Saviour birth.
y
Another Christmas Eve comes stealing down
And vanishes. The night is almost spent;
The stars blink family DER the sleeping town
In token of the morrows merriment-
Yet seei Half hidden in the shadows Deep
Down by the little rustic wicket gate,
A watcher stands and waits-while others
sleep.
And reck not of the cruelties of fate.
The cottage door is softly opened. Lo!
A girl steals forth upon the frozen sod,
Unmindrul of q parents bitter woe,
Regardless of the mandate of her God!
A start of joy-a burning kiss-a sigh
A pang all grievous, yet supremacy sweet;
One backward look that means last good-bye;
Two forms steal swiftly down the silent
street.
earth
And brings to men their need of Joy or pain;
Once more the quiet hamlet ngs with mirth
To greet the sacred festival again.
With dropping form and slow, uncertain tread,
AS one who goes fearsome doom to meet
Her cheeks as pallid as the newly dead,
