Heirs Afraid Of a Jsomb.

By way of illustrating the nervous
ness which the recent explosions have
revived here. queer adventure which
bas just bsfallen the heirs Of house
owner may be mentioned. They had
met at the dwelling of their departed
uncle for the purpose of drawing up an
inventory of his effects in company
with a lawyer and had nearly completed
their task when one of them pulled out
of a cupboard metal box, which was
laid on the table and which the man of
business was about to open, when one Of
his nieces cried out in horror: Don t
touch It'll Look, that is fuse. = Sure
enough, there was little something
popping out of the cover. It is a
bombl'' exclaimed the panic stricken
heirs in chorus, and then they proceed
ed to remark that their deceased rela-
tive had been moody, silent and re-
served sort of individual, and thence
they inferred that he might possibly
have been an anarchist. Two of the
nephews had had put on their hats and
were on the point Of rushing off to the
Office Of the nearest police commissary,
when the lawyer, who had been quietly
inspecting the box, calmly suggested
that it might simply contain some pre-
served fruit This theory somewhat re.
assured the men, but the ladies would
have their way. The commissary was
sent for, and the mysterious box was
soon on its way to the municipal labora-
tory. 1t was found to contain pine
apple, the stalk Of which had been mis-
taken for fuse. So the good old uncle,
who had been SO ungratefully maligned,
had not been an anarchist after all. -

Cider and Vinegar.

The best method of preserving cider,
according to The American Agricultur-
ist, is to heat it to IT'S 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
ond summer as when first made. The
objection to this method is that the fla
vor is slightly changed When opened,
fermentation will set in just as it will
with canned fruit.
In the same journal is told how sue
cessful orchardist in Illinois makes cider
vinegar. He puts the cider at once into
barrels, which are elevated to the sec
ond story of the fruithouse. Upon the
approach of winter one-third the con-
tents of each barrel is removed and
placed in other casks. Freezing will
then not burst the barrels and frost
will hasten the vinegar making process.
When thawed out in spring, roll the
barrels over SO that the contents will be
thoroughly agitated. then allow to
stand. BY May or June almost every
barrel will contain excellent vinegar.
Do not expose to the frost vinegar al
ready made. By placing the barrels in
the upper story the barrel worm, the
pest of the vinegar maker, is escaped.

SEED SELECTION.

Principles Governing the Intelligent Sc
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 CHI
mates, soils and fertilizers tend to seed
production rather than to vegetative
development, and plant may be Guilt
waited and selected for it's seed produc-
ing capacity until strain of seed is OBJ
tanned which tends to yield plants pos
sessing similar seed fertility. Ii quality
rather than quantity of crop be the OBJ
ject, the selection of seed must follow a
certain line in order to secure plants of
the desired characteristics.
Seed may be selected according to its
origin, color, form considering espe-
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 germinable
stock. 1t is thought by some that the
value of seed varies in certain cases ac-
cording 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 heavier yield than that
from the upper hollis, the yield in the
former case amounting to 1,043 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 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 earliness in the
maturity of the fruit By means of con-
tinued seed selection, plants may be SO
developed as to show certain flavor.
capability Of resisting disease, general
hardness. earliness, superior content
of sugar, oil, starch, gluten, etc.

purposes would do harm also, hence it
is important that nothing but pure wa

that have put this simple device in dur
ing the past summer and find that it
not only lessons labor, but that by it's
use better and more even temperature
can be obtained than by the use of the
tempering vat, and the cleaning of it
does not require one-fifth of the time
that the usual watts require. The cleans
ing is done by pumping warm water
through the pipes and then steaming
them thoroughly for about three min
utes.
The illustration is simple and almost
explains itself M P represents the milk
pipe or hose extending from the milk
vat to P, pump, which raises the milk
into the pipe joined on to the pump.
The milk naturally flows down to the
point II, where half inch pipe, S P,
is inserted into 7 large enough to take
an inch galvanized iron pipe, the end
being plugged up tight and number of
small holes drilled in on side for the
escape of steam in small jets. The half
inch pipe joins on the three-quarter
inch by a reducer just below a globe
valve which regulates the volume of
steam.
The pipes o o are to allow overflow
when the stopcock at f is partially
closed up, with the point o over milk
vat. The valve at base of pump also reg
ulates the flow of milk into separator,
S. In case the flow vat is at an eleva-
ton above separator it is only necessary
to extend the pipe from point H direct
ly into vat, and the only thing neces-
sary would be globe valve next to vat,

Storing Cranberries.

The question, How shall the fruit be
treated after it is received from the pick
ers to best preserve it till time for mar
keting? 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
the packing house, it must be cool
throughout and 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. The 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
Is to 20 bushels and piling them in a
solid mass in cellar 8 feet deep. They
kept in 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.

Home Study In Agriculture.

Professor Watson of the Pennsylva-

Chautauqna course of home study in
agriculture. The lessons are designed
to help the student in his study of the
books prescribed by this course, and
each lesson is accompanied by num-

Early American Rishons.

Before the war for American indie
pendence the American Episcopalians,
who were connected with the English
church, were never suffered to have a
bishop among them, but remained I'M
der the jurisdiction of the bishop OF
London. The rite of confirmation was
unknown, and every candidate for or
dination was obliged to travel to Eng
land Out Of So candidates who came
from America for ordination in 1867 10
died on the voyage. At length, after
the United States had been declared in
dependent, DR.. Seabury was ordained
bishop of Connecticut by the primus

Cheese that is made for export land
most makers know whether their cheese
will be likely to go abroad or to the
home trade) ought certainly to be made
to suit the requirements of the foreign
market. The authorities in Canada who
control the make of that country take it
for granted that nine tenths of their
production will go to Great Britain, so
they direct it all to be salted high and
pressed very hard in order to give it
long keeping qualities. / believe that
moderately quick curing cheese can
safely be made down to the LIST Of An
gust, as very little stock made previous
to that time can pass through the heat
of our summer and be fit to put away
for winter use, no matter how solid it
may be made But by the LIST of Au-
gust change should be instituted in
the style of making. From this time
forward eevry pound of cheese produced
should be made as solid and firm and
free from moisture as can be brought
about by the use of salt and the gang
press This is the cheese which has to
go into cold storage, cure slowly and
come out in the late winter or spring in
more perfect condition than when it was
put away.s And unfortunately this is
what SO much of our cheese cannot be
relied upon to do -R. D. Gilbert
