Got Tired. Like the Rest.

Among the early American settlers there
was an impression that the Indians had
no intelligence or craft in their relations
with the white men. The latter soon
found, however, that this was not the
case. Some of the farmers attempted to
make farm servants of the Indians, but
discovered that they had "a propensity to
''get tired" SO soon after they began
work that their services were of little
value. One day a farmer was visited by
a stalwart Indian, who said:
''Me want work"
"No, no." said the farmer-"you will
get tired
"No, no, said the Indian-"me never
get tired!"
The farmer, taking his word for it, set
the Indian to work, and went away about
some other business. Toward noon. he
returned to the place, and found the In
dian sound asleep under Il tree.
''Look he,e--look herew shouted the
farmer, shaking the Indian, violently
''you told me that you never got tired,
and yet here you are stretched out on the
ground"
"Ughl" said the Indian, rubbing his
eyes and slowly clambering to his feet
elf me not lie down, me get tired like
the rest!'

TAKING CARE OF SEEDS.

The excessive moisture of the summer
did considerable mischief in connection
with seed production. A great deal of
the seed will prove infcrtile if collected,
and one should be very careful in select
ing, either for home use or for the market,
the seeds of flowers, fruits or grains.
Excessive wet or drought are the two
chief difficulties to be encountered in
seed growing; but fortunately for the
ordinary farmer and gardener he does not
have to make his own collection of seeds.
Reliable seedsmen can be found now,
where the best seeds can be procured
Still, every cultivator of the soil saves a
few seeds of some choice variety of
plants, and Others depend upon their own
seeds for nearly all of their crops. 1t
should be remembered by those that it
takes long summer to enable most plants
to perfect their seed crop, and short
summer of inclement weather will often
make all the labor involved abortive. A
week OF two of very wet weather will
rob most seeds of their fertility and make
them unfit for planting In gathering
the seeds this year a close examination
of the seeds and pods should be made
All pods that have become unduly en-.
larged by the wet should be rejected
Those that have damp moulds or black,
decaying spots on their under side should
likewise be pulled off and destroyed
Shriveled pods are also unsuitable. If
the pod appears all right outside the seed
inside is generally good; but after long
wet spell of weather the seeds in perfect
pods are sometimes worthless. So much
moisture has been absorbed by the pods
that the seeds become bloated and in
fertile. When the water evaporates they
will either shrivel up or begin to decay.
Such a season as this every pod should
be burst oper on one end and the seeds
inside inspected. If they are soaked with
water, little mouldy, or full of tiny
black spots it is useless to save them.
Accept only those that are perfectly
sound. 1t usually takes two or three
years to recover from the effects of one
bad season for seed production, for a
good deal of poor seed will be put on
the market the following spring. Too
much carefulness in this direction cannot
be taken; not simply by the gardeners,
but by the seed growers as well. Seed
may be scarce and dear next spring; but
that is all the more reason why only the
best should be purchased. -Falm and

TIE rLow EXPENSE.

tt Isa common mistake to suppose that
the chief reason for digging or blowing
Of tue land is to separate its PARTICLES.
On the contrary, we are obliged TO add to
the labor of loosoning up the soil that Of
accompanying it with harrows, rollers,
trampling, or other means, before VIC can
safely entrust seeds or plants to it for
summers growth. 1t is a saying by
postholc diggels that all the firm soil
taken out can be packed in again, with
room to spare. This is accounted for by
the wormholes, rootmoulds, ETC., COM
mon in virgin ground. No doubt the
blowing and crushing facilitate expan-
sion of roots and help to protect them
from open airSpaces and FROM lack of
moisture during dry weather. but no
healthier, handsomcr growth IS obtained
by it than we often see on surface never
worked at all, if the natural mulch keeps
all competing growth far enough away,
and at the same time prevents the land
from drying out.-Ne,0 York Tribune.

WHY THE HENS DON'T LAY.

The Farm and Garden says the time is
not far distant when farmers and poultry
breeders will wonder why hens don't
lay. If they have one breed, then that
particular breed will be blamed and
another one tried, only to find the same
existing conditions of management.
Now is the time to make such arrange
ments as will go far toward insuring a
liberal supply of fresh eggs during the
winter, when eggs are scarce and high.
The first step toward this is to see that
your poultry house is not only clean and
free from dalapness, but that it is made
tight-wind and rain proof-and that
proper precautions are observed for ven
tilation. One of the very best things to
make the house storm-tight is tarred felt
ing, which is also obnoxious to lice and
mites, though more substantial outside
covering can be made by first painting
the building thoroughly, and then be-
fore the paint dries, putting coarse, close
woven bagging or canvas over the whole,
lacking it we'll in place. The bagging
can be treated to two OF three coats of
good rubber paint and the thing is done.
A warm, comfortable house goes far
toward insuring winter eggs, and when
to this be added, in the start, good
early Matched and vigorous birds and
plenty of suitable food, there need be no
reason for asking why the hens don't
lay. They naturally will not furnish
as liberal a supply in winter as in sum-
mer, but they will furnish none at all if
left to shift for themselves.

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert well-known journalist in
agricultural circles, writes Apri. 18th, 1899: Some
five years ago wrote letter stating that Swift's
Specific had cured me Of severe rheumatism Since
that time have had no return Of the rheumatic
troubles, although frequently exposed to the n1u.
enccs that produced former attacks. Several of nv
friends had similar experience and are firm in their
conviction that s. S. S. brought permanent cure.
The searching power of this medicine is shown in
the fact that it developed scrofuous faint that was
conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago, and
has removed the last trace of it. have also tested
s. S. S. as a tonic after severe attack of malarial
fever, which kept me in bed for three months and
am convinced that its curative and strengthening
properties insured my recovery from that Illness as
| was in q very low condition of health.

sAwDUsT AS BEDDING FOR COWS.


Mich cows require warm stabling
through the winter and complete protec-
ton from storms and cold winds to pre-
vent them from rapidly shrinking in
their milk. After a COW has eaten her
feed either in the morning Or at night,
she feels comfortable and wants to lie
down. AS mich cows should be kept up
in this way while the weather is cold, it
is very important that they should have
plenty of bedding to cover the stable
floor and keep them clean. For this pur-
pose, says a writer in the New York
World, 81 don't know of anything better
than sawdust, wherever it can be had
for the hauling from the mill or at cheap
price per load. A good thick coating of
it in cows stall will last good many
days if the manure dropped on it is re-
moved early in the morning or before it
has been tracked around much. Dry
Sawdust not only makes a soft bed for
the COW, but is also an excellent absorb
ant of liquids. By removing the small
portions detiled every day and supplying
their place with new, load Of sawdust
may be made to last quite long time.
1t does not become foul and soiled as
easily as straw, and where it is used the
udder does not need washing s. fire.
quently, but can be kept clean with a
coarse brush. The sawdust that is
thrown out on the manure heap soon be-
comes good fertilizer, and it will also
help to loosen up hard clay soil If |
had straw in great plenty that wanted
to make into manure, might use it for
the COW stable instead of sawdust, but l
think the animals can be kept cleaner
and with less work on the latter"

SELECTING DAIRY COWS.

Farmers are apt to use too little care in
selecting COWS for the dairy. Some seem
to think COW is a COW, whether she
will make ono hundred or two hundred
pounds of butter in year. But it costs
just as much to keep a COW that will make
only one hundred pounds as ono that will
make twice as much. 1 would say to my
brother farmers, says writer in the
american AgrieultWist, invest in good
COWS, give them plenty to eat, with good
care, and they will doubly repay for the
labor of selecting and keeping.
