vantages of liberal training in art, mu-
sic and physical and mental culture
She married u young lawyer, who set
tied down in Carrolton to build up a
practice.
Mrs. Raincy was not entirely salts
fed with the church and social life of
the small town. She joined the local
women's clubs, but finding them lack
ing in energy and progressiveness she
determined to do something on her own
account. She decided, after thoroughly
inspecting the ground, that the boys
and girls of the town needed help. She
spent two years in getting acquainted
with them, and then she organized a
boys club. The meetings were held in
her home, and the sessions were varied
enough to make them interesting. Gen
orally Mrs. Rainey read q good story.
Then she would lead them in discus
sions about topics of the day. By show
ing them pictures, prints of famous
paintings, casts of famous statues and
photographs of great works she cult
waited their taste for art. She took an
interest in their baseball mines and
taught them to play lawn tennis.
After the boys club was thoroughly
established she prompted the organiza-
ton of the Violet Sewing circle, in
which 35 girls were pleasantly associat-
ed. She also organized Il working girls
club, and she was the promoter Of sew
eral reading circles among the parents
of her young friends
For four years Mrs. Rainey has di.
rectod these various organizations and
she is fully satisfied that her time has
been well spent. During that time she
has improved many opportunities for
doing philanthropic work Of u practical
kind and, having the enthusiastic CO.
operation of her husband who is Il man
of some means, she has been able to do
a great deal Of good. Mrs. Rainey's work
has Ieecn done in Il modesto quiet man
ner, but she has accomplished moro
than others have by widely advertised
movements.

Fall Flowing.

understood by the majority of farmers,
but so are its disadvantages, which i'll

advantages that there is far less fall

the following:

ing that is required to grow either win
ter or spring wheat In either case the
surface soil Les exposed to winds and
rails, SO that a great part of the fertll-
lty that frost has made available IS
either blown or washed away. Gar
denors continue to fall plow, but even
they regard it as wastciul practice,
though it does fit their soil for seed
bed as no amount Of spring cultivation
without fall blowing could do. They
accomplish results, but it has to be at
the expenditure of enormous quantities
OF manure, which average farmers who
grow only ordinary crops cannot afford.

Cider and Vinegar.

The best method df preserving cider,
according to The American Agriculture
ist, is to heat it to 115 degrees f.. place
in alright packages and seal while hot,
following the methods used in canning
fruit. If carefully put up, the cider will
keep perfectly and be as sweet the sec.
ona summer as when first made. The
objection TO this method is that the fla

Storing Crnnbrrrips.

The question, How shall the fruit be
treated after it received from the pick
crs to best preserve it till time for mar
kcting: brought out much discussion at
the late meeting Of the Cranberry Grow
ers' association at Camden, N. J. As re-
ported by The American Agriculturist,
the essential points insisted upon by
Hon. Theodore Budd are: The fruit must
be thoroughly dry before it goes into
tho packing house, it must be cool
throughout aud must be in ventilated
open boxes or crates In the storehouse
it must be kept as cool as possible and
as dark as may be, but frost must by all
means be kept out. TIC storehouse must
be thoroughly ventilated and the crates
SO packed as to allow of free circulation
Of air throughout. Mr.. E. H. Durell
agreed generally, but uses shallow trays
instead of crates.
The coloring of fruit picked green can
be controlled to some extent by light
and heat. The best method is to let the
fruit color slowly in the dark. Mr. Hol-
man has seen excellent results from
packing berries in large boxes holding
10 to 20 bushels and piling them in a
solid mass in cellar $ feet deep. They
kept i'll almost perfect condition until
the following March and with very lit
tie shrinkage. Mr.. Jones stated that in
New England they tried to avoid keep
ing by selling at once, from the bog if
possible.

SEED SELECTION.

Principles Gcvcrning the Intelligent se-
lection Of Seed For Sowing.
No farm practice yields more bene-
fetal results than the careful selection
of seed. With view to assisting be-
ginners are here appended some helpful
information from the last agriculture
year book:
The principles governing seed selec.
ton depend largely upon the kind of
seed and the object of the crop, wheth-
er size, quality or earliness Of the latter
is most desired. 1t also makes some diff
ference whether the plants are to be
grown for forage or seed. Certain eli
mates, soils and fertilizers tend to seed
production rather than to vegotative
development, and a plant may be cult
waited and selected for its seed produc.
ing capacity until IA strain of seed is OBJ
taincl which tends to yield plants pos
sessing similar seed fertility. If quality
rather than quantity of crop be the OBJ
jcct, the selection of seed must follow u
certain line in order to secure plants OF
the desired characteristics.
Seed may be selected according to its
origin, color, form considering cspe-
cially whether it is plump or wrinkled),
size and weight, it being taken for
granted that the selection shall be made
only from sound, pure and gcrminable
stock. 1t is thought by some that the
value of seed varies in certain cases ac-
corling to the part of the plant or fruit
from which it comes. An experiment
made in Georgia with cotton showed
that the bottom bolls produced seed
which gave a heavier yield than that
from the upper bolls, the yield in the
former case amounting to /, O43 pounds
of seed cotton per acre as compared
with yield of $50 pounds in the lat
ter. This was undoubtedly due to the
fact that the lower bolls contained
larger and heavier seed rather than be.
cause the seed came from certain part
of the plant
Many trials have been made of corn
selected from the tips and butts Of the
ears. Sometimes one and sometimes the
other kind of kernels give the best crop.
1t is quite likely that this variation re-
suits from the difference in size and
weight Of the different kernels taken
from the same ear. In the case Of the
parsley, carrot, parsnip and other UNI
belliferous plants it is commonly sup
posed that the central stalk produces
the best seeds. This may be due to the
fact that such seeds are frequently
larger and heavier than those from the
lateral shoots.
The degree of maturity of seed when
harvested is an important factor in de-
termining its value. Many experiments
have been made with immature seed,
resulting in the conclusion that such
seed produces, as a general thing, smaller
and less vigorous plants. Professor Golf
Of Wisconsin has shown that by the use
Of immature tomato seed there is also a
tendency to increased earlincsS in the
maturity Of the fruit. BY means Of con
tinucd seed selection, plants may be SO
developed as to show certain flavor,
capabilty Of resisting disease, general
hardness, carliness, superior content
Of sugar, oil, starch, gluten, etc.
