Superintendent SHIFT took back several old men and

rRvrre FROSTED WHEAT As SEED.

ST. Paul Mimi, Feb. 1.-The experiments that are
being carried on at the State Experimental Farm with
frozen wheat are attracting the attention Of tho lead
ing grain men of the e'ate. Tho results Of the ex-
pcrlments thus far have been surprising About
thirty SAMPLES Of frozen or frosted wheat Of all grades
from about No Q down to tho poorest sort OF shry-
elled shrunken frozen grain, have been employed for
the tests. Fifty seeds Of each were selected and
planted and are growing in the greenhouses. Each
sample Is labelled and account Is taken OF the proper
on of seeds in each class that germinate and grow.
The visitors found this proportion large. Some OF
the seeds were about the noxt thing to mere chaf
and yet many Of them have sprouted aud, as rule,
seem to be having a healthy growth. The stalls
arc now six or eight inches high and some of them
