Testing Grass and Clover Seed.

Grass and clover seed should always
be tested, as to its vitality and as to nox-
ious weed seed in it. Select a number
Of seeds large enough to make the test
a test-at least 100. Count carefully.
Place the seeds between wooden cloths
moistened with tepid water. The cloths
should be boiled before they are used, and
the plate or pan in which they are laid
should be scalded to avoid the groth of
fungi or mould. For the same reason.
only recently boiled water should be laid
upon the plate. Then the seed is dis
tributed over them, and covered with
another cloth. If the reader can cover
the plate with glass he should do so, as
this will retard evaporation and protect
the cloths from floating germs. Under
these conditions and temperature of
20 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, good seed
will germinate within ten days. Seeds
Of little vitality may germinate after
ten days, but they should not be count
ed in the test, as they would probaly fail
to germinate under field conditions.
Seed seould not be used when more than
10 per cent fails to germinate, if better
seed can be procured in time for testing
and sowing.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffied the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most nauseous
and disgusting ills the flesh is heir to,
and the records show very few or no
cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh
by any Of the many modes of treatment
until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success of
this preparation has been most crafty
ing and surprising. No druggist is
without it. 2
