vitality of Seeds.

At the annual session Of the Society
For the Promotion of Agricultural
Science was reported among the results
of seed testing a comparison in vitality
between corn kept in the ordinary crib
and that which had been hung up in
some warm, dry place, or otherwise
thoroughly dried Over 600 samples
We're tested. Those carefully dried gave
an average termination Of 93 per cent,
while those from the crib an average of
only 03 per cent. Another interesting
observation was the remarkable power
of reorganization exhibited by certain
seeds. Wheat will germinate no less
than ten times after intervals Of a week
or more, during which lime the seeds
Were kept perfectly dry. Corn will ger

A Building Designed For Ordinary Dairy
or Farm Use.
The very large consumption Of ice
which occurs in the high combined ice
shamber and storage room may be obvi-
ated by the creation of a building hav-
ing icehouse and cold storage room in
one. Such building will also be much
CHEAPER in its first cost. A correspond
ent of Country Gentleman who has
made several plans for such cold stor-
age rooms for dairies and fruit, thus de-
scribes and sketches one of these build
ihgs;
First, a common icehouse, which may
be built of the cheapest materials and
light in structure. All that is required
is cemented floor with the center a
little raised, so as to carry the drainage
to the outside, where it is carried off by
a few air trapped pipes to a trench out
side filled in with stone, or into basin,
and thus can be used in some way. Ihe
building will be of such size Us may be
needed. For ordinary dairy or farm
use, "a by 16 will be large and 16 by
10 a medium size. A house "a by 16,
with 10 feet for ice and l2 feet high
