SAVE TIE SEEDS.

"It is n poor crop that does not fur
nish next years Seed" 1t is n poor
garden that does not leave enough be-
hind it to rcfurnish itself another year.
Therefore, select few strong flowers
for seed, and when the petals begin to
wilt tie little bag of fine muslin or null
over the whitening bloom, as fine seeds
are easily scattered or blown away. II
they are of those that will self-seed, it is
not always that one wishes the plants in
the self-same spot.
Large beautiful peoples are treasure
and another year will be IN gre lter de-
mand than this. Therefore, save the
seeds. While shrubs should not be al.
lowed to fruit or go to seed, our short
lived plants have no such excuse for not
giving us seed To renew their presence
annually. Home grown seeds insure us
against purchasing last years left-overs
at prices only due new seeds.
The little covers alluded to are go thin
rs not to interfere with the suns ripen-
ing the seeds; and when these are heard
to rattle in the pods within, the stalk
can be cut just below the tied muslin
and the seeds taken out and put to-
gether and marked at ones leisure.
Each color and kind, each species,
should be kept by itself, plainly labelled.
Seeds should be kept where they will be
continually dry until time for them to be
sowed. If placed where they may gather
dampness and mildew ALL previous
care and thought go for nought. New

WATER Fol, BEES.

When bees have formed the habit of
going to any place for water it is diff
cult matter to prevent their continuing
to go to the same place, and hence they
should be provided with water ut home
early in the spring, aud be "enticcd"
there for their regular supply. The ed
itor of the American Bee Journal sug-
gests that little salt in the water ut the
home trough will make it inviting 20 the
bees, and ut the same time to give
the sides of your neighbours trough n
coat of kerosene oil would help to cult
vate liking for the home trough,
which should be placed in sunny spot.

OUR ONLY DAY.

Were this our only day,
Did not our yesterdays and morrows give
TO hope and memory their interplay,
How should we bear to live?
Not merely what we are.
I. But what we were and what we are to be,
Make up our life-the far days each star,
The near days nebu!@.
AT once would love forget
It's keen pursuits and coy delays of bliss,
And its delicious pangs of fond regret,
Were there no day but this.
And who, to win friend,
Would to tho secrets of his heart invite
A fellowship that should begin and end
Between O night and night?
Who, too, would pause to prate
Of insult. or remember slight or scorp,
Who would this night lie down to sleep with
hate,
Were there to be no morn?
Who would take heed to wrong,
To misery's complaint or PHYS call,
The long wall of the weak against the
strong,
If this one day were all?
And what were wealth with shame,
The vanity of office, pride. OF. caste,
The why sparkle of the bubble fame .
If this day were the lastp
Ay, what were all days worth,
Were there no looking backward or before.
Ii every human life that drops to earth
Were lost for evermoreP
But each day is link
Of days that pass and never pass away;
For memory and hope-to live, to think
Each is our only day.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Damp poultry quarters will often cause
leg weakness.
Sulphur, copperas and carbolic acid
cost more than grass.
Never allow surplus chicken food to
lie around and get sour.
If you are obliged to confne your
fowls be sure that they have somc green
every day.
All hard -shclled tree seeds should be
planted in tho fall from one to three or
four inches deep.
Illinois station reports 475 varieties of
apples growing on its grounds ut present
for variety tests.
In some northern sections of the
country varieties of Russian fruits are
being extensively tested.
If fowls have large range tho grain
feed may be cut once day. Let them
hustle for the rest they have.
American Gardening advises thinning
fruit. Begin with pear trees and thin
the fruit one half, If it is tlnclkly set.
AS general rule, trees should be
transplanted to the same depth that they
stood in the nursery or where they wer0
grown.
Keep your chickens growing from the
shell, and they will be ready for the table
or market any time after ten or twelve
weeks of age.
The good layers arc active and gener.
ally ON the move and scratching about
are the first birds outin the morning and
the last to roost at night.
Market as much fruit as possible right
at home, by using upon the table every
day in the place of less dgestible pastry.
This is sure way to make the fruit
garden pay.
1t is better to use preventives than
remedies for chicken cholera. The best
are perfect cleanliness, freedom from
vermin, pure drinking water aad protec-
ton from the hot sun.
When the early crops are used up they
should be replaced Immediately by some-
thing else. Let crop of snap beans
follow the early peas, and let these in
turn be followed by other crops.
Sheep left to shift for themselves will
not pay largely. With the same care
and good food that are given the horses,
COWS and hogs they will return larger
interest on the outlay than any of
these.
Success with small fruits depends
largely upon the richness of the soil. Be-
fore planting this fall make the ground
rich enough to produce 100 bushels of
corn pei acre. Then you will get crops
that will pay.
Cucumbers give larger return per
cultivated acre than any other item re-
ported in the census returns of truck
farming. There is yet time to plant
these for pickles, and try IL your expert
ence will bear out the above.
TIC have full supply at midsummer,
it is better to raise plants as early as they
can be grown without glass, and set them
in fertile moist land. Those raised
from cuttings are later and less produc-
tive than those grown from seed.
The collard is tall-growing cabbage,

OATS AND PEAS AS GREEN rooD.

The Jractice of sowing oats and peas
together for feeding is not as common as
it ought to be. They make an excellent
soiling crop ard can be put in the silo to
advantage. Oats are more exhaustive if
sown alone, as it is now understood that
peas are n renovating crop, their roots
taking nitrogen from air confined in the
soil. Hence, doubtless, is the reason
that the oats will grow more thriftily
when sown with peas than they will
alone.-Boston Cultivator.

Ono Way of Helping.

The trained nurse has come in re-
cent years to be regarded as Il person
scarcely less necessary than the doc
tor. The knowledge, the tact, and
the experience REQUIRED to nurse in
the very best manner a person who is
desperately i'll are realized to-day as
never before.
This is doubtless for the best. but
it occasionally prevents the render
ing OF help that is sorely needed.
Friends and neighbors sometimes
withhold the offer of their services in
sickness, fearing lest the assistance
should be undesired, and yet difficult
of refusal.
But there is 80 much to be done in
a house where there is much sickness
that a willing helper is not likely to
lack work. To spare the time and
strength of the actual nurse in all
things to which it is not absolutely
necessary they should attend is in it.
self a great thing. Training is of inn
mensc value, but willingness and
energy, however inexperienced, are.
not yet superseded.
Not long ago scarlet fever entered
a large family living in a farmhouse
in a New England village. Several
children were dangerously i'll with it
at the same time, and although
father, mother, and a nurse were all
on duty they could not perform all
that must be done.
One servant had left, fearing con-
tagion, and the other, a young girl,
was overwhelmed with unaccustomed
labors in addition to her own. The
people of the house were all on the
Verge of exhaustion. and the sick
children could not be properly cared
for.
In the midst of these disheartening
circumstances, the family received
help of an unexpected kind. A college
graduate, the son OF Il neighbour, a
strong. vigorous, energetic young fell
low, but wholly unaccustomcd both
to sickness and to domestic tasks, APP
peared one morning and offered his
assistance.
He was thanked gratefully, but
told there was nothing for him to do.
His eye fell upon a pile of soiled bed
clothing in a large basket.
Who is going to wash those?:" he
asked. .
Il don't know" said the poor moth
er, hepelessly.

Enemies in the Air.

If II eyes were microscopes, what
a world OF wonders, and even Of ter
;rors, the atmcsI here would appear to
be. Even air that is apparently pure
cantains a great number of micro
scopic floating PARTICLES. There is
dust that has risen from the ground,
and been transplanted from affair by
the winds: there is powdcry matter
that has been elected from the in
terror of thesarth by volcanoes: there
are minute particles of metcoritic
matter that comes floating down out;
lof interstellar space, and there is Il,
great variety of living germs and or
.ganisms, some of which produce dis
ease and death.
The Investigations that are going
on concerning the origin of the intiu-
cnza now ~atfiicting mankind in vari-
oas quarters of the globe havc led
some men of science to conclude that
Il micro-o,ganism, or bacillus. of some
kind, which lives and is diffused
through the air, is the cause of this
most troublesome disease.
But ven IL bacillus, so small that
the limos powers OF the microscope,
are taxed to render it visible, must
have something to live On, or it will
perish.
In absolutely pure air it could not
survive, but DIR. Symes Thompson
made the interesting suggestion that.
minute particles of organic dust
floating in the air may serve as RATS
for it to live on.
What a strange picture this sug-
gestion forms in the imagination!.
Particles Of matter, too small to be.
ldiscnrned with the naked eye. floating
through the atmosphere, and bearing,
like a microscopic fleet, uncountable
millions of organisms, whose COM
biped attack suttices to render a large
fraction of the human race miserable.
but knowledge is power, and the
more we learn about our microscopic
enemies in the air, the better pre-
pared VIC are to resist their assaults.
