How Much Seed.

The amount of seed necessary to plant
or sow per acre will vary considerably
with all crops, depending much upon
different conditions. Care should al.
ways be taken to secure seed of good
quality. This is an important item in
securing good even stand. If roor
seed is used, more or less of il will fail to
germinaie and i'll consequence the stand
will be uneven.
With cultivated crops, like corn and
potatoes, it is of course possible 10 re-
plant, yet this is plan that do not like
to follow, rs In ma ority of cases the
rc-plant does not do as well as the first
planted.
More seed is required on thin land,
and on land that is not thoroughly prc.
pared and in good filth before planting.
With good seed, the soil well prepared
and good filth, and care taken to plant
in good season, less seed will be needed
than when less care to provide these es-
sentials is taken. Different seeds re-
quire different conditions in order to
germinate. Some will gcrminatc at a
much lower temperature than others. but
with all kinds of seeds certain degree
of heat and moisture is required and the
nearer these conditions arc provided the
better will be the termination. We all
understand that at least per cent. of
seeds will not germ nate. If under
what might be considered fair conditions.
nearly or quite all the seeds would
terminate. n much less quantity of seed
would be necessary. But even under
the most favorable conditions there will
be quite anumber that will not germinate,
and when the conditions are n nfavorohIo
the soil too wet, too dry, too cold, is
rough, cloddy and poorly prepared, the
per cent of those that will not germinate
is considerably increased. So, when the
soil is not well prepared, when it is wet
and cold, the quality of the seed not The
best, or the land thin, more seed should
be used than when the conditions are
more favorable. 1t is poor economy to
to use any but the best seed, the risk of
failure in securing a good stand ia too

Murder 10 OBTAIN "Thloros' Candles


A trial which has just concluded in
tho Government of Kursk, in Southern
Russia, with the conviction of four peas.
ants for the murder Of n girl OF eleven,
they being sentenced topenal sorvitude
for terms varying from eight to twenty
years each reminds the reader, in cer-
tain details, of tho hideous and grotess
quo superstition about "thicvcs' can.
dies" described by DR.. Bloch. n member
OF tho Austrian Parliament, in tho Lon.
don IS'andad. The four peasants be-
licvo in tho strango superstition that
candles made from human fat render
them invisible.
In order to obtain this necessary ma
terial they first attempted to murder o
boy in forest; next they tired to kill
an old peasant, and aftorward Russian
Clergyman whom they met in field.
In all these cases they wore unsuccesg-
full, being disturbed before they could
accomplish their fell purpose. On the
18th OF October last, however, they came
across Young girl, Lukeria Chcrkash-
hinn. in lonely spot, and ut once pro-,
ceedcd to strangle aud mutilato her.
Out of the fat from this child's body
they made candles, with tho help Of
whose supposed protecting rays they at.
tempted a robbery. They were, how
over, caught and put in prison, where
thoy confessed everything. 1t waS
stated in court that the $ perstition of
"thicves' candles" is widespread in Rus
sia, which confirms DR.. Bloch's state
ment that it still exists among the
thieves OF nearly oil nations.
