seIectipg Seed Of Oats and Wheat.

In most plants there occur deylations
from the prevailing type. In flowers,
one plant out of many may have noWers
of different color or of different shape. In
fruits the same thing happens, and as the
causes which produce such results are OBJ
scure and little known, they are termed
"sports." Sometimes the peculiarities
may be preserved By grating or budding
only-in others they are hereditary and
may be kept up by planting seed. We
have mum erous illustrations IN the many
varieties Of cotton, fruits and vegetable
belonging to the same species. THESE
sports afford opportunities for procuring
improved varieties, but with the excep-
tion of cotton, little has been done on this
line in our field crops. Seed corn Is more
or less selected with reference to sound
ness and size of ear, but the selection is
made at the crib, not in the field, where
all the peculiarities of the whole plant,
stalk included, Is open to inspection.
In the case of wheat and oats no selec-
tion at all is made, unless it be that the
product of certain field or special piece
of land ia set aside for seed purposes.
Less 10 done even than in case of corn;
large fine heads are not chosen, and small
and large grains are promiscuously sown
together. Can there be any improvement
under such methods. Are not the
chances in favor of deterioration? Now
we suggest to all progressive farmers that
they make close and initial inspections of
their grain fields, and collect by hand a
moderate amount, at least, of such grains
as show decidedly earlier ripening than
the average-of such as show unusual
vigor, indicated by large fine heads, of
we'll filled grain-of such as show i'm
munity from the rest, whilst others
around are attacked by it and so on of
such as show any popularity that may be
valuable. Let selections of the best
grains be made of each of these, and at
the proper time let these be sown to
themselves OF separate trial plots.
Watch results, and when the little crops
mature go over them and make the care
full selections az before. Does any one
doubt, that in few years very decidedly
improved and desirable varieties might
thus be had. The small grain crops are
about ready for such inspection tours, and
the reader ia urged to make them. Es-
pecially is it desirable to procure hardy
winter strain of rust proof oats. By all
means save seed from fall sowings to SOW
again in the tall. We have faith in
breeding up plants, in fixing them in de-
sirable qualities just as is done with ami
mails But even with the latter, it is only
the thoughtful, careful breeder who sue
ceeds.-W L. IT. an atlanta Constitution

The Farmer.

The young man who, as soon as he can
secure second-grade certificate to teach
public school, thinks it is degrading to
work on farm, will never amount to
much. 1t is well enough for young men,
living on farms, to teach school through
the winter, thus improving their minds
and making some money at the same time,
but there 10 no reason why they should
not 60 back to the farm when their
schools are finished. Farm work is just
as honorable and respectable as any other
employment, and there is no reason why
intelligent young men should be SO
anxious to try something else. unless they
have a very decided talent for some other
calling. 4 good farmer ia more respecta.

munity than third rate clerk or sec.

The Demand for Larger Horses.

Only few years ago 1900 to l,4Ou
pounds was thought to be big horse.
Now our grade draft horses, l,400 to
$500 pounds, are demanded by the city
markets, and even heavier horses sell all
the better if they can be found. Many
of our best farmers have grand teams OF
grade draft mares that money cannot buy.
Every one is worth a fortune for breed
ing, while the amount of work they can
perform is astonishing. The farmers all
want larger horses to work, and are
eagerly breeding to increase the size.
The dealers everywhere are actively look
ing for the grade draft horses all over the
west, and fortunate are the farmers and
the communities where this popular horse
is found.

RACK EFT STORE!

Ii there was no such thing as credit in mer-
chandise there would not be so much difference
in prices 1t is by reason of credit that the ex-
tremes of high and low prices are found in mer-
chandise. The man who sells on time must sell
high so as to cover the losses sustained from
those who never pay. He must even make the
man who pays cash pay big profits for the rea-
son he must rely for success on those who pay.
The greater the extent of credit the higher the
prices for the risk is proportionately increased.
Take the risk all away from merchandise, re-
duce it all to dollars, and prices 60 away down.
Now the extreme of panics, of failures and of
compulsion to realize "spot cash" al any cost is
all brought about by reason of credit. So that
the system of credit brings to the masses all the
evils of high priced merchandise, making them
pay double often what they ought. And while
it brings defeat to hundreds and thousands of
merchants it brings victory to him alone who is
en- the alert gathering up from these slaughter
pens of credit.
Now this is just the field we are occupying
We are gathering from the disasters of credit
for "spot cash." To enable US to handle these
values cut in the middle with dollars we must
sell them as we buy them, ''cheap for cash."
One small profit and stop.
We master our business and make our money
when we buy. then we can afford to price our
goods in plain figures, cut them away down and
make our values make our business. This is
why our great house is packed with buyers, why
we are able to keep forty hands busy through
the Summer why people come to US from every
quarter. We make the victories of our little
army of buyers joint with our trade, until it is
proverbial, "Here to-day, gone tomorrow
coming, going all moving on with bustling busy
business life Nothing like selling goods cheap
to move business.
If We could not induce buyers with our values,
we had better close our house. The law of mas
terry in merchandise is verify the law of the best
values for the least money, therefore to sell our
Goods we must make it pay buyers to come to
us, we realize the force of this thoroughly and
never mark an article cents, if we can take
cents. Goods cheap enough sell themselves, and
as we apply the law to our business of the very
best we can give, there is no question of "com-
petition" about it.
Thousands of things are rolling in and going
out all the time. and all are cordially invited to
send for samples or see our tremendous stock,
gather up what suits and what will pay you
to buy.

HAY WITH FRESH GRAss.-It is q
great mistake to suppose that cows which
get bite of fresh grass early will not eat
hay. The dry feed is necessary so long
as they will eat it. Young, tender grass
is full of water, and has too little nntri-
ton. It scours COWS ted on it exclusively,
and not only lessons the milk yield, but
causes the cows to grow thin. Feed
something dry, if it is nothing better than
straw, and supplement its deficiencies by
grain or oil meal.

through the Winter without artificial heat
is applied in Regents Park, London.
Glass bottomed tanks about three inches
deep are 80 arranged that all light and
heat must reach the plants through thin
layer of water. The water exercises
great control over the temperature, pro-
tecting the plants from frost in Winter
