Got Tired. Lilo the Rest

Among the early American settlers there
was an impression that the Indians had
no intelligence or craft in their relations
with the white men. Tho latter soon
found, however, that this was not the
case. Some Of the farmers attempted to
make f,lrm servants of the Indians, but
discovered that they had propensity to
''get tired" so soon after they began
work that their services were Of little
value ono day farmer was,yisited by
a stalwart Indian, who said:
"MIe want work"
.No, no." said the farmer-''you will
get tired
"No, no, >" said the Indian-''me never
get tired!"
The farmer, taking his word for il, set
the Indian to work, and went away about
some other business. Toward noon he
returned 10 thc place, and found the In
dian sound asleep under a tree.
"Lool herc-look herel' shouted the
farmer, shaking the Indian, violently
''you told me that you never got tired
and yet here you are stretched ont ON the
ground l'
"Ugh' said the Indian, rubbing his
eyes and slowly elambering 70 his feet
'if me not lie down, me get tired like
the rest. -

TAKING CARE OF SEEDS.

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 one should be very careful in select
ing, either for home use or for the 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 cultiyator Of the soil saves q
few seeds of some choice variety of
plants, and Others depend upon their own
seeds for nearly all of their crops. II
should be remembered by those that il
takes a long summer to enable most plants
to perfect their seed crop, and short
summer of inclement weather will often
make all the labor involved abortiye. A
week or two of very wet weather will
rob most seeds of their fertility and make
them unfit for planting. In gathering

of the seeds and pods should be made.
All pods that have become uuduly en-.
larged by the wet should be rejected.
Those that have damp moulds or black,
decaying spots on their under side should
likewise be pulled of and destroyed.
ShriVclod pods are also unsuitable. II
the pod appears all right outside the seed
inside is generally good; but after a long
wet spell Of weather the seeds in perfect
pcds are sometimes,wcrthless. SO much
moisture has been absorbed by the pods
that the seeds become bloated and in,
fertile. When the water Cyaporates they
will either shrivel up or begin to decay

years TO recover from the effects of on,

the market the following spring. Toe
much carefulncss in this direction canno
be taken; not simply by the gardeners
but by the seed growers as we'll. Seet
may be scarce and dear next spring; bu
that IS all the more reason why only th'
best should be purchased. -Farm an.

II is 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 looseniug up the soil that of
accompanying it with harrows, rollers,
trampling, or other means, before we can
safely entrust seeds or plants TO 1t for a
summers growth. II is n 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
mon in virgin ground. No doubt tho
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.-Ne,o York Tribune.

WHY THE HENS DON'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. II 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 20 far toward insuring q
liberal supply of fresh eggs during tho
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
tight-wind and rain proof-and that
proper precautions are observed for ven
tilation. One of the very best things to
make the house storm-tight is tarred felt.

woven bagging or canvas over the whole.
tacking it well in place The bagging
can bc treated to two or three coats OF
good rubber paint and the thing is done.
A warm, comfortable house goes fan
toward insuring winter eggs, and when
to 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
lay. They naturally will not furnish
as liberal a supply in winter as in sum
mer, but they will furnish none at all if
left to shift for themselves.

sAwDUsT AS BEDDING FOR COWS.

Mich COWS require warm stabling
through the winter and complete protec.
tion from storms and cold winds to pre-
vent them from rapidly shrinking in
their milk. After a COW has eaten her
feed either in the morning or at night,
she feels comfortable and wants to lie
down. As milch COWS should be kept up
in this way while the weather is cold, it
is very important that they should have
plenty of bedding to cover the stable
floor and keep them clean. For this pur-
pose, says a writer in the New York
World, 81 don't know of anything better
than sawdust, wherever it can be had
for the hauling from the mill or at cheap
price per load. A good thick coating of
it in a cows stall will last good many
days if the manure dropped on it is re-
moved early in the morning or before it
has been tracked around much. Dry
sawdust not only makes a soft bed for
the COW, but is also an excellent absorb
ant of liquids. By removing the small
portions detiled every day and supplying
their place with new, load of sawdust

comes good fertilizer, and it will also
help to loosen up a hard clay soil. If
had straw in great plenty that l wanted
to make into manure, might use it for
the COW stable instead of sawdust, but
think the animals can be kept cleaner
and with less work on the latter"

srLrcrrNe many COWS.

Farmers are apt to use too little care il
selecting cows for the dairy. Some seem
to think a COW is a COW, whether she
will make one hundred or two hundred
pounds Of butter in year. But it costs
just as much to keep a COW that will make
only one hundred pounds rs one that will
make twice as much. would say to my
brother farmers, says a writer in the
american Agrieulturid, invest in good
COWS, give them plenty to cat, with good
care, and they will doubly repay for the
labor Of selecting and keeping.

A western paper says there is in
the Bodie mining district of Califor-
MIA a spring which produces gold. The
spring is not exactly geyser, but the
water is hot, and as it flows away and
evaporates it leaves a deposit That
deposit contains gold. Whether the
water disintegrates gold-bearing rock
far below the surface and brings the
gold to the top, or whether there il
