The seed of no garden vegetable is
more easily grown than that of the
beet. 1t is sold wholesale very cheaply
but every farmer should, so far as
possible, grow beet seed for his own
use. Select well-shaped, not over
large specimens for seed. Those who
grow beet seed largely for sale plant
a late crop, which is forced to grow
rapidly by high manuring and good
cultivation. The idea that because a
long, slow-grown root will seed
abundantly, it is as good as any for
seed, is great mistake. Seed from
such roots rapidly degenerates, and, in
a few years, will grow plants that run
to seed the first season.

The different varieties of tomatoes
sent out by seedsmen often do not vary
widely, and seldom hold their pecu-
lialities long. The New York Expert
ment Station last spring tried to get
seeds of the Tilden tomato, only few
years ago widely advertised variety.
Only two seedsmen offered it, and of
these neither had the Tilden as known
fifty years ago. The specimens were
smaller than Hathaway, while formerly
il was very large tomato. The Tro-

No building on the farm pays better
than good Toulouse. 1t should be
SO convenient of access that there
need be no excuse for leaving farm
implements exposed to the weather
when not used. Properly cared for,
many implements that now last only a
few years ought to be serviceable so
long as the farmer lived to need them.
Besides, tool that has not been
rusted, warped and cracked by ex-
posture viii work as well the second
aud third years of use as the first. On
many farms tools are so much injured
by being left out of doors that after
the first season they cost more for
repairs than they save in labor.

ABOUT THE FARM.
Hints for Farmers and Busy
Housewives to Appreciate.

The habit of dumping manure from
the wagon or sleigh in small piles is
wasteful both of time and manure.
Comparatively few men can spread
manure from plies so as to cover all the
ground, much less to cover it evenly.
The matter is made still worse by leav.
ing the manure piles TO lie several days,
or weeks before being spread. The
soluble parts Of the manure are washed
into the ground, and if every particle
of the visible manure is removed, the
spot will yet be richer than the space
surrounding it.

Owing 10 the wet summer early in
the season, the grass that grew there
was sappy, and contained little
strength. AS hot weather and drought
increased, its nutritiye value also i'm
proved. Where the soil is filed with
stagnant water, it makes the grass
"sour," as farmers say. The soil is
filled with humic acid, but MS this rots
Off the grass roots, it is not likely to be
taken up into the plant circulation.
The sourness is, therefore, most prob
ably, merely lack Of nutrition, and This
may cause sour stomachs by overload
ing them with indigestible and worth
less substances.

A few years ago farmers in grain
growing localities used straw layislilt
for bedding, for the purpose of making
the largest possible manure plies. Row
tie tendency is TO use as little straw for
bedding as is consistent with cleanli-
ness. Cut straw mixed with ground
grain makes u valuable feed, tic straw
furnishing csrbonaceous matter, and
the meal giving the clements that make
muscle and growth. If cornmcal is
used, it should be mixed with ground
oats Or wheat bran to make good
feeding ration.
