Improving Land.

The first step in improving land says
Prof. Newman should be the use of some
means of preventing the continuance of the
great agency of destruction-surface wash
ing. On lands adapted to grass, rotation
involving occupancy by grass or clover not
less than two years in five will answer. On
most lands not so adapted terraces will
prove most efficacious if the lands are nat
uraly drained. A few soils demand I'M
der drainage in conjunction with terracing
flow Of nature sufficiently rapid to carry off
the soil, but with enough dead grades to
cause the precipitation of suspended matter
have doubled the productiveness of soils
by such rotation combined with pea vines
In this latitude we should plant as many
rows of peas as corn in our corn fields. We
thus secure a half crop of peas and good
coating of manure, besides a crop of corn.
In the prairies melilotes may take
the place of peas, especially
when lands are left unclutivated
for two years. The melilotus is q BIENNIAL
plant and consequently well suited t.
occupy lands which are uncultivated for
two years.
When corn, cotton, and oats are the
principal crops, the following rotation an
swers well:
l. Corn, with peas between the rows.
2. Fall-sown oats, followed by peas as
soon as the oats are harvested.
3. Cotton, sown TO rye in October.
4. Corn and peas again.
In this rotation the soil is but little OK
posed, while four humus producing crops
are grown in three years.

Lime for Providing Eggs Shells.

1t has not been demonstrated that oyster
shells or lime in any form, produces egg shell
Tor rather, shells for the eggs, as there are
thousands of hens that are in no manner
provided with oyster shells. 1t is true,
however, that oyster shells, being sharp, as
sist in grinding the food. Carbonate of lime
is insoluble, and the lime for the eggs shells
must consequently come from that which
can be digested and conducted to the eggs
through the blood. AS nearly all kinds of
food contain lime in soluble form, by COM
bination with vegetable acids, as well as in
the form of inorganic salts that are soluble,
the process of covering the eggs with shells
goes on without the acid Of substances that
are insoluDle. There is one source of solu-
bic lime however. that is frequently over
looked-the water-which holds lime in
soluble form when it abounds in carbonic
acid. Hard, limestone water contains lime,
and the hens can, by drinking it, secure
more lime in a convenient form than from
oyster shells. When hen lays eggs with
soft shells, the cause is due not to the lack
of lime, but to the condition of the hen, as
she is tnen, as a rule, in an overfat condi-
ton. To this cause may be traced all the
eggs with soft shells?-Ihe farm.

"wholesale'' Wheat Growing.

G. II. Shinn of California describes, with
the aid Of striking illustrations, in a recent
issue of the American AgricuLturist the
farms in the California valleys. There it
has been reduced to a science thatadmits of
no improvements probably.
The usual method Of preparing the soil
for wheat is with gang" Of six plows. On
light soil only eight horses or mules are re-
quired for one of these plows, but on
very heavy soils more are required, and
sometimes as many as twenty-four horses
are used for each gang pillow when breaking
up hard adobe for the summer fallow. On
the larger farms oftentimes dozen of these
plows, each with its driver, can be seen
moving back and forth across the immense
fields. In the most advanced system the
gangs have only five plows, instead Of six,
but seed box and good steel tooth harrow
are attached to each gang" so that the
blowing, sowing and narrowing are all done
at one operation. Some soils at first have
to be .plowed twice and narrowed with a
heavy eight-horse harrow before it is in con
dition for seeding. When the whole work
can be done at one operation it costs less
than 81 per acre for labor.
Harvesting the crop is done by an i'm
proved header and thresher, which cuts,
threshes, cleans and sacks the wheat and
drops it in pilss Of dozen sacks, to be gath
cred up by a wagon.
This machine requires from twenty to
forty horses and from three to eight men,
and cannot be run on very billy lana but
there is not much land this kind on these
farms). This combined harvester handles
the crop for 81 rs per acre, while the old
system costs So per acre. The total cost Of
growing wheat on these farms ranges from
AZ to 80 cents per 100 pounds-average 60
cents.
The wheat harvest on one Of these Cali
fornia ranches would be regular circus to

tic region. 5. A. e.

Mature wood, taken off in autumn. Is used
for the purpose. After the cuttings are
made, says A. S. Fuller, in Propagation of
Plants, they are buried in dry, warm
place in the open ground, or in moder-

The cuttings may be made from the one
year old wood, and from this age to that of
four or five years old. Layering the
branches is often practised as mode of
propagation; also banking up Of the sprouts
that appear around the base Of old stocks,

SEED TESTS.
Valuable Work Done by the North

A. G..

Valuable Work Done by the North
Carolina Experim ant Station
During the year just past the North Caro-
lima experiment station, under the able
direction Of H. B. Battle. has accomplished
work of practical value, especially to those
who use vegetable seeds that are not grown
by themselves.
About 1900 samples of various seeds of
garden plants were subjected to complete
analysis and test, and the result showed
many instances of fraud practiced upon
purchasers of various seeds.
OF the large number of careful tests made
only few samples came up to 100 per cent.
Of vitality. A very large number showed
less than 80 per cent. In quite number Of
samples not one seed in hundred possessed
vitality.
The seeds most defective generally were
those Of celery, spinach, onion, lettuce and
eggplant. Gardeners Of experience are well
aware that these are the very plants that
rarely give satisfaction when other than
freshly grown seeds are used. Old seed,
however carefully preserved. are unreliable
after one year, or at the furthest two years
We quote the following interesting re-
marks accompanying the seed tests;
''stale seeds, unless they have been doc
tored, are easily recognizable by an expe-
rieneed grower. They are usually luster-
less, which Is due b the absorption ot tho

OF fresh seeds. When stale seeds are found
in packets the containing packets are more
or less stained, and such seeds should never
be purchased. Stale luce-ne seed has lost
its shiny. greenish color, and become dull
and brown and more or less withered Red
clover seed also becomes brown with age.
"In orr warm and humid climate the
vitality of seeds, and especially OF northern
grown seeds, deteriorates very rapidly, and
seeds two years old are as rule not worth
sowing. Yet we find that most retail dealers
in seeds act in other disregard of this fact.
Tney seem to think that tine quality of seeds
in packets, like that Of meat in cans, is of
indefinite duration, and warranted 10 keep
in any climate Except clover and grass
seeds, nearly all seeds sold in this market
are put up in sealed packets, which are
marked with the name of the scotsman who
put them up. Some seeGsmen place upon
their packets the words warranted or
guaranteed, but as no details as TO the
nature of the warrant or the quality guar
anteed are given. this must be regarded as
mere bait to catch the credulous. Most
seedsmen distinctly disclaim all response
bility for the quality of the seeds in their
packets. +svo
There is no reason why the seed mer-
chant should not give a real and definite
guarantee of the quality of his wares.
The first cost of seeds is compara-
lively small compared to the expense of
preparing and fertilizing the ground, and if
1, l..
different species from that claimed, by the
time the fact becomes apparent the season
for sowing has passed, and the defrauded
purchaser loses not only all he has invested
in seeds, fertilizers, land ana labor, but also
the value Of his prospective crop. In Europe
all respectable seedsmen give positive and
definite guarantee of the purity and vitality
of their seeds, and there is no reason why
American seedsmen should not do the same.
So long, however, as seedsmen think they
can force their wares, on their own terms,
upon the consumer, no advance of this kind
need be expected, and just SO long will a
long-suffering public be annoyed and de-
frauded by stale and weed-infested seeds.
Seedsmen, when asked to give definite
guarantee of their goods, reply that their
reputation is the only guarantee they can
offer, and that is sufficient for the protection
of the purchaser But this claim is utterly
fallacious There are in all trades rascals
who, under pretense of honest trading,
fleece all whom they can inveigle into their
power. and these same rascals may be
among the ones who most loudly pirate of
their reputation Reputation is good
thing, but business is business, and should
be conducted on business-like principles"
We should like to quote more from this
valuable bulletin, but enough is presented
to show that the North Carolina experiment
station realizes the Importance of the seed
question. 1t promises, too, to prosecute all
necessary Investigations of the question I'M
til fraudulent seeds will not have much of
chance for sale in North Carolina. Success

Good Seed.

Seed corn cannot be too carefully selected
from the crib in the winter, and thoroughly
cured for the early planting in the spring.
From long and careful experience in
planting and breeding corn, one can be led
readily to the conclusion that seed corn with
e pedigree" is the only safe kind to choose.
Pedigree goes for everything in the eyes of
the stock breeder and the man Of society.
When we know the pedigree Of an animal,
whether he be brute or human, we generally
know what to expect from him in the way
of certain peculiarities and characteristics,
and accordingly our common sense tells us
how to handle him. When we select seed
corn that has a pedigree we are equally
justified in expecting similar results.

It is rot proper TO confine COW to any

Besides ''long" or rough forage a medium
size cow should have of the concentrated or
richer foods a ration closely approaching the
following:
Wheat bran pounds.
Corn meal
Cotton seed meal /
Ground or crushed peas l
Total 6 pounds.
Divide this into two feeds-three pounds
in the morning and three pounds at night.
This ration feed, in connection with
proper supply of good hay or first quality
fo6ier-corn. constitutes perfect food, and
admits of little or no improvement. The
materials are those most readily obtained in
this section, and combined as above will
produce a maximum yield of milk when fed
TO the right sort of cow. In Texas and
Tennessee dsirymen are very generally
using the cotton seed bulls in the place of
hay for rough forage, allowing two to four
pecks of it to each COW, or all that may be
eaten up clean.
This is done on the basis of 50 80 per ton
for the bulls. Good hay is to be preferred.
For dry cattle three pounds of hulls is a
cheap food to winter such cattle on and is
fair food for mich cows in the absence of
other materials, but good ration of rough
forage must always be supplied.
The above ration costs between and s
cents. Add to this or cents for the nee
essary hay, and We have a daily ration cost
