THE VALUE OF GOOD SEEDS.

Few farmers give enough attention to
the proper selection of seeds. The price
is of little Importance provided one gets
just what he wants, pure. true to name
and of good terminating force. Take
cabbage seed for instance. Every year
there are acres of cabbage stumps set
and the seed put on the market which is
comparatively worthless. The seed should
be grown from cabbage heads carefully
selected in the fall; those which least
resemble the true type of the variety
should be cast aside and sold, only the
true stock being kept for re-setting for
seed.
No farmer who proposes to grow onions
for market should buy seed that he
knows nothing about. Price is no OBJ
ject. If onion seed is selling at 81 per
pound and some grower has by careful
selection, hand Smelling, etc., produced
seed that is really worth twice as much
by the labor and care bestowed on it,
ought he not to ask 81 per pound? Some
buyers will refuse to pay it, thinking the
cheapest will be good enough. But sup
pose the seed fails. proves to be of some
inferior variety, full of solutions and
with a tendency to 'stiff neck" the labor
and seed are both lost. have grown
1890 bushels per acre of white globe on

produce bushels enough to be profitable !;
the seed cost only So per oound. have
grown $50 bushels red globe per acre,
and 77S Wethersfield large red, and
have seen over 1900 bushels of the latter
on single acre. Many seeds that go
through dealers hands are mixed with
old or cheaper seed, the terminating
power of which has been destroyed by
heat so that they will not come up and
expose the fraud. The farmer wonders
why his seed did not come up well, but
does not think it was tempered with.
Buy your seeds of some expert grower
or seedman who has a reputation, or grow
them yourself Cor. n. f. Farmer.

FINE HORSES FOR SOUTH AMER

The four animals recently shipped to
Buenos Ayres by Messrs. Porter and Col
by of Middlebury were of unusual excel
lence. The stallion, Young Blackstone,
is the fast and stylish brown horse that
attracted so much attention at the last
Breeders Meeting at Rutland, driven to
road wagon. His sire, Blackstone, has
three representatives in the 2 80 list,
while his dam is by Gen. Putnam, son of
Rollo by Vermont Black Hawk. Gen.
Putnam is sire of Hambletonian Victor,
which got the gray gelding, Major
q ;23D, which until recently has been at
tributed to Gen. Putnam himself. Young
Blackstone seems to combine much of
the beauty of the Black Hawks with the
speed that he naturally derives from both
sides, his sire being one of the most sue
cessful sons of Hambletonian that ever
stood in this State.

The Young Kalser,. phrslaue.

The appearance of tho young kaiser
does nothing to discourage the admiration
evoked by what we hear of his military
performances. He is above the average
of his officers in height, carries himself
with a grace seldom allied t. the profess
sion of arms. and in proportion he is of
full body, though suggesting A1uscular
development rather than stoutness. His
left arm has not developed normally, but
1t is not unless ones attention is called to
it that its impotency becomes striking.
With this left arm, however, he holds his
horses reins, and once at least | saw him
take n ditch which three of his officers re-
fused, a feat that does not harmonize with
tho current stories about his feeble pow
crs. His right arm, on the other hand,
has absorbed all the vigor which was de.
MED its mate, as is remarked by all who
experience the powerful grasp he applies
when shaking hands, "A grasp which in
Berlin has passed into a proverb. How
little his left arm has interfered with his
love for sport may be judged from the
fact that he is an excellent shot and a good
oar-all with the single right arm alone.
He is also II very strong fencer.-Poultney

Two deaths have been caused by
the burning of the residence of Mrs.
Rajnoski, on Tuesday evening of last
week. 1t appears that, at the time of
the fire, there were in the house an
old woman and five small children.
One of the children, a boy aged about
six years, was burned to death in the
building, and another has died since
from injuries received. Mrs. Ramos
XII was the sole support of the family
and was absent at the time washing
for some family-it being her prin-
cipal means of livelihood for her.
self and children. All the children
would probably have been burned
but for the bravery Of a lad named
Martin Leskie, aged 10, who saved
four of the children, and would have
saved the fifth, but that he believed
he was outside the burning building.
A subscription has been taken up and
considerable sum raised to assist
the unfortunate family. The fire is
said to have been caused by spark
from the log locomotive, and there is
some talk of a suit against the rail
road company for damages.
