AMERICAN SEED FARMS.
The Very Finest OF Fruit and Vegetables
Go to Seed.

During the harvesting time for general
farmers the seedIields present II most de
siraOle sight. Rich, luscious melons such
as Hevcr appear i'll market may be scat
teEed over hundreds of acres of land in be
wildering numbers or fine green cabbage
lettuce or other vegetables may produce a
mass Of foliage that clothes the Landscape
in rich colors. The cultivators go through
the fields at this time and pull up all of
the poorly matured plants, leaving only
the most perfect ones to go to seed. A few
more weeks, and the green heads turn vel
low and brown. Seed pods and stalks
shoot up from the heads Of green, and the
plants have TO be watched every day TO
ascertain the proper time for harvesting
them. When the time arrives, laborcrs are
sent into the fields in companies, and in
the course Of a few days or weeks all of
the seed pods are collected and carried to
the barn made purposely for their reoep
ton.
Pumpki9s watormelons and cucumpers
are loaded upon carts and taken to the
seed seperators, where they are crushed to
pieces and the seeds separated and dried
The onions, cabbages, lettuce, peas and
beans produce their seeds in pods or bolls
and these are gathered in the field by men
and women, who clip off the narrow stalks
and throw them into baskets or bags. The
pods are allowed to dry IN the sun and
then the seeds are separated from them
by machinery, hand work or by thrashing
The barns are divided into seed bins and
rooms, and all of the seeds are collected
here to DO stored away until ready for ship
ment. Some of the sccdhouses have the
seeds put up in packages right in the barn
while others have them shipped to their
city warehouse in bulk. One seed farm
will send off several carloads of seed in OBJ
season, while the leaves and stalks of the
plants left i'll the fields can often be solo
for fodder or some other purposes.-Chuu

The York Courant, in its lat;s chapter
of local history, mentions what it believes
to have been the only two individuals In
all Uncle Sam s dominions who failed to
receive share of the surplus revenue
divided among the Inhabitants of the
United States during President Andrew
Jscksons administration. Theses were
Betty Potter and Esther Booker who at
that time inhabited house on the line
between York and kittery, the dividing
air line passing directly through their
sleeping room SO that when lying in bed
their heads were IN York and their feet in
kittery. Taxes are reckoned per capital
and by that rule they were citizens Of
York but as neither one possessed goods
or chattel5, and their dwelling, too, was
scarce worth even a name, they were ex
empt from cxoises But when the sur
plus revenue was divided this lack of
citizenship didn't work SO well as neither
town owning them they failed to receive
their respective shares. Betty died IN
1910 and having reputation of dealing
with familiar spirits was buried In 3

disappeared and no one ever knew what

The Baltimore Sun Oenrocratic) wants
1t distinctly understood that ''we are not
lodging tho German Rasin issue in this
campaign that We are aware Of Our
gage of battle in the cause of the people
against bossism and boss rule, and against
the dual despotism of German and Rasin,
has been thrown down In tho face of all
enemies of the people, and there it remains
until the polls close on the evening of the
9Th Of November, and afterward until the
work of reform is thoroughly accom-
plished." Regarding the question Of tax
lodging the Sun rises to inquire How
much does Senator German pay to the
where he lives, upon the wealth which
he has acquired while holding public
office, and which enables him to reside in
Washington In q style suggesting expend
itures largely exceeding his salary as
United States SENATOR" 1t also has the
temerity to remark that 1t pays enough
tax to give its propretors "a very real
and tangible interest in the good govern
ment of this state and city and make it
matter of practical concern with them to
see that the revenues of state and city are
not devoured by political rats who live
upon public plunder' In another edito-
rial OF the same issue the Sun discusses
the marvellous aptitude of the German
faction in the great art called In common
parlancc "blutling WHO has not, I"
struggling against sentiment clearly
against him, keeping up IA bold FIR ont and
making such extravagant claims as will
bring to his side the waverlng and those
who desire to be with the majority. And
when his confident assertion has changed
the current and given him the victory, his
were made, appear to be verified, 1t is a
beautiful game when it is well played as
exciting as u game of chance in which
nerve and effrontery play important parts.
Although men cannot be recommended to
cultivate confident assertion except when
based upon real knowledge, they should
be warned not to be too much impressed
by It, Extravagant declarations and
claims should be viewed with suspicion
from the known fact that they are usually
made by the ignorant or the unscrnpu
lous. This of itself should put us on oul
guard" Verify, there are straine rela
tions between the German and admins
tration factions in Maryland! And this
too despite what German did to perfect
that tariff bill, which Democratic organs
now assure us works just beautifully.
