wELL.BaEp HORSES EEsr.

Senator Stanford is an enthusiast in
respect to horses but his ideas in regard
to the value of good blood are sound
and ought to be influential. He tells of
street car horse in San Francisco which
was strong and vigorous, and which en-
dured the hard strain of street railroad
work three times as long as the average
horse used on that line The history of
this horse being traced, it was found
that his sire had a good pedigree and
that his dam, though not a thorough.
bred, was of good stock. This ac-
counted for his strength aud endurance.
The ideas which some farmers have,
that blood is only good for speed, is al
together wrong. 1t gives courage, will,
strength ard hardiness-qualities which
are valuable on the farm aud on the road
as well as on the race track. This is a
matter worth considering as the breed
ing season approaches. The service of
poor sire car be had few dollars
cheaper than that of a good one, but
the difference in the value of the colt
may be ten times as much. This, how
ever, is in case the dam is good. II the
mare is poor, or unsound, breeding had
better be omitted 1t is worse than use
less to expect valuable colts from such
stock.-Amcrtcda Dairyman.

In former ages, when men were more
at the mercy of the elem ents than they
now are, the great masses of popu
latlon were located in warm countries.
They swarmed In the lands where they
needed little shelter and little cloth
ing, while the cold northern countries
were thinly populated
In the present age, when men NAV
make tropical climate for themselves
within four walls. when warm clothing
is abundant and easily obtained. the
centers of population are found on
what may be called the colder half of
the temperate zone.
Some figures recently issued by the
superintendent of the Census show in
an interesting way the distribution of
the people of the United States with
regard to temperature.
The mean annual temperature OF the
United States, excepting Alaska, is fifty
three degrees Fahrenheit. and the fig
ures show that the part of the country
where this is the actual mean temper
ature is the center of the greatest
density of population.
In other words, the grea est density
OF population centers between the line
where the mean annual temperature is
fifty degrees and the line where it is
fifty-five degrees; aud as one goes
north or south of this line, to a colder
or warmer average, the density of
population rapidly diminishei.
More than half the population OF
the country lives under a mean annual
temperature between forty-fve and
tifty-fve degrees.
AT The same time that the mass of
population has sought a moderately
cool climate as best meeting the needs
OF life under present conditions. it has
sought region of abundant but not
excessive rainfall. Figures put forth
by the Superintendent of the Census
show that three fourths of the people
OF the United States inhabit the dis
tricts where the annual rainfall is be-
tween thirty and fifty inches.
The greatest density of population is
IN the area which has from forty TO
fifty inches of yearly rainfall. On
either side as the rainfall increases or
decrea es-the maximum of the conn
try being above seventy inches and the
minimum below ten inches-the room
lation diminishes

POOR SEEDS.

Seeds tdat are good may fail to grow,
so that good seeds and those that pro-
duce good plants arc not coextensivc
terms. Many good seeds fail to produce
good plants because there are many
causes for failure in the production of a
plant outside of the seed. For this rea.
son the tests known as termination trials
made in test boxes are not more than
suggestive guides as to the vitality of the
seeds inspected
One of the reasons for failure oil
seeds to grow is that they were gathered
before they were fully mature. If one
looks at handful of any seed, whether
clover, bean, or squash, he will find that
some seeds are either small, or light, OF
both, indicating that they did not ma
ture. it is natural that a percentage OF
seeds should be immature, as the SEED
vessels do not have all their seeds of the
same age, aud at time when the greater
part are ripe some will still be green.
Many seeds are abortive, or for some
reason have failed to develop. They are
not green, but consist nostly of the dry
musk or shell. Such imperfect seeds are
the most easily removed of all by means
ct the tanning mill, and there is but
little excuse for such being in any
abundance in the market seed.
\ third reason for poor seed is age.
Some kinds bear the passage of years be-
fore they begin to deteriorate much bet
ter than Others. The "second summer
with snme sorts is quite generally fatal,
while with other kinds the second year
must come before they will begin to I'M
fold into seedlings Asa rule, old seeds
arc not popular, and there is good
foundation for the general belief that the
Younger the seed is the better, after it
has passed its first winter.
There are many other reasons why
seeds aFe poor. Among the leading is
poor rarentage, and poor parentage may
mean many things. A parent plant may
ne poor from coming from poor seed, or
1t Msy 1e Cue to too great moisture, CT
Eea,, q lac,l OF food supply. ANY one
Or more of the many untoward circum-
stances may give rise to imperfectly en-
lowed seed, provided any seed is pro.
Gdced. Another series Of poor seeds in

WArERAIELONS.

For waterlnelons the ground should
be made rich and mellow as a garden.
Cultivate early aud thoroughly. They
should be planted in light, dry soil.
Dig out large hill, fill with good horse
manure, cover with soil, plant, and
sprinkle with water that has two pounds
of Peruvian guauo to the pound, this
will give them vigorous early growth
which will cheat the bugs. Plant ten
feet apart aad pinch the most vigorous
vines. Surround each hill with a box
or cheese hoop. 1t is cheaper than to
fight cut-worms and bugs. Do not be
afraid Of the quantity of manure, or of
the pinching back.-American -4gyicpl-
