One of the Most Brutal Fellows That Ever
Ruled "A Great Country.
Britannicus, his brother by adoption,
a boy of fourteen, is in the way; he is
poisoned, thanks to Locusta's art, at a
dinner given by Nero. Suetonius re-
cords the popular belief that the motive
to the crime was no less a professional
jealousy Of his voice than polite fear
of his ambition. The first dose only
made the boy very sick, whereupon Nero
sent for Locusta and chastised her with
his own hand. She excused herself;

TAKING CARE OF EEDs.

The excessive moisture of the summer
did considerable mischief in connection
with seed production. a great deal OF
the seed will prove infertile if collected,
and mi should be very careful in select
ing, either for home use or forthe 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. It
should be remembered by those that It
takes q long summer to enable most ants
TO perfect their seed crop, and q short
sunmer of Indictment weather will often
Aaake all the labor involved abortive. a
week or two Of vesy wet weather will
rob most seeds Of their fertility and make
kaen unfit for planting. In gathering
the seeds this year q 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 ~ asder side should
likewise soEed.
The Opelousas courier., 1890-02-08
shriveled pods are also unsuitable.

shriveled pods are also unsuitable. If
the pod appears all right outside the seed
inside is generally good, but after a 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 opeE on one end and the seeds
inside inspected. If they are soaked with
water, a little mouldy, or full of tiny
black spots it is useless to a them.
Accept only those that are perfectly
sound. It usually takes two or three
years to recover from the effects of n
bad season for seed production, for a
good deal of poor seed will be put on
the market the following spring. Too
much c~arefulness 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.-Farm and
Garden.
The Opelousas courier., 1890-02-08
WHY THE HENS nnN'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 dampness, but that it is made
Gight-wind and rain proof-and that
proper precautions are observed for ven-
citation. 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 6 more substantial outside
covering can be made by first painting
gshe building thoroughly, and then be-
fore the paint dries, putting coarse, close.
woven bagging or canvas over the whole,
lacking it well in place. The bagging
can be treated to two or three coats of
good rubber paint and the thing is done.
"A warm, comfortable house goes far
toward insuring winter eggs, and when
10 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
day. They naturally will not furnish
as liberal a supply in winter as in sum
mer, but they will furnish non at all if
left to shift for themselves.
The Opelousas courier., 1890-02-08
THE FLOW

It is a common mistake to suppose that
the chief reason for digging or blowing
of the land is to separate its particles.
On the contrary, we are obliged to add to
the labor of loosening up the soil that of
accompanying it with harrows, rollers,
frampling, or other means, before we can
safely entrust seeds or plants to it for a
summers growth. 1t is a saying by
posthole diggers 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
anon 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, handsomer 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.-New YORK. Tribune.
