CHANGE OF SEED.

How to Jmpart Superior Vitality to All
Varieties OF Grain.
The prevalent belief among farmers
that a change of seed is beneficial and
that the best seed is brought from a
cooler climate has been proved by tests
made at the Canadian experimental
farm al Ottawa. The vitality or GER
minatil.g ability of wheat brought
from Manitoba was found to be 90 per
cent, Ct barley 81 per cent. and oats
IS per cent, against 80, 70 and IS pei
cent. respectively of seed procured in
the eastern provinces of Canada. This
fact has most important significance
in regard to the choice of seed. The
average yield Of oats in the Southern
States is 20 to 25 bushels per acre OF
grain weighing "a to % pounds per
bushel. and this low yield is due in a
great measure to the use of seed OF
this inferior character. Where oats
imported from Scotland and weighing
81 pounds per bushel has been sown
in Southern State the yield was over
60 bushels per acre measured, and the
grain was nearly as plump and heavy
rs the seed used. The same will no
doubt apply to the Southern wheat, of
which the average yield is no more
than seven bushels per acre, Much
the same occurs in tn e Northern and
Western States, and, indeed, every
where that seed is used from the crops
grown in tho. s-.,~.slity and without Sc
lection. A change of seed produces
more vigorous and productive crops.
and the grain necessarily possesses SUI
perior vitality. The careful selection
Of seed is of the greatest Importance,
and is matter for present considera.
ton and action. -- ST. Paul Pioneer

How 1t Was Done by an Intelligent and

Determined TO have a cistern. after
much inquiry / learned that nearly
half of those in the neighborhood
leaked more or less, though many Of
them had been stoned and plastered
by professionals After interviewing
those who thought ought to know !
concluded / could make at least as
good one myself As others could for
the soil was hard and firm enough to
sand without caying; SO l plastercd
directly on to the soil without stoning.
put on three coats Of cement or water
lime mixed with sand; the first was
two parts sand to one of cement; the
two last Of equal parts by measure Of
sand and cement This was mixed
thoroughly before water was poured
on, as this can not be so evenly done
after. l put on all the water the
mixture would absorb. The result will
be more hard and lasting mortar
than if less thoroughly wet. Each
coat was given time to dry before an
other was applied.
The cistern was dug like the inside
Of kettle, to dispense with corners.
The thickness of each coat of cement
varied from onc-half inch at base to
three-fourths ut top of cistern. Over
the cistern | put strong timbers and
planks, and on these all the excayatcd
earth. This. think, is sufficient to
keep out frost. The cistern holds
water and is in every way satisfactory.
If necessary or desirable TO stone q
cistern, do not "point it off" with the
lime-mortar, but put the first coat of
cement on to the rough wall, other
wise it will soon be apt to crack and
