Seed Sowing.


The usual failure in getting seeds to
grow is from sowing them too deeply
in the earth. ii il were possible To
keep the seeds dark and moist they
w0ald DO all the better from being
soNn absolutely on the surface. Every
ons familiar with forest growth must
have noticed how forest tree seeds,
which simply fall TO the earth and are
covered by the few leaves or the re-
mhins Of grasses, terminate without
difficulty. In cherry trees, especially,
tin, stones which have fallen from the
trees, lying on the surface all winter,
speout and grow rapidly when spring
tine comes, and yet cherry seeds from
the same tree, collected by the seed
grower, sown in the same way i'll
which seeds are usually sown, FREE
qucntiy fail to grow. In order To
have needs as near the surface As pos
sible, and yet protected against dry
ing up, the great prince OF American
practical gardeners--the late Peter
Hcnderson-recOmm for plant
ing vegetable seeds that the garden
limo should first be stretched along in
the direction where the vegetable were
TO grow, sprinkle the seeds along the
line entirely on the surface, and then
simply tramp them in the ground
along the line. In this way no gar
den seed ever failed 10 grow il il were
good, and garden seeds are generally
good, for it has been found that even
old seed, il guarded against extreme
heat and moisture, will continue to
preserve its vital power for an in
definite period. Still every purchaser
desires TO get seed as fresh as posi-
BILE. II the, suggestions given are
borne in mind there will very seldom
be complaints about the failure OF gar
den seeds togrow.-Meehan'sM Monthly.

whey ~ Hug Feed.

Skim milk is highly thought of rs
feed for hogs, but not more 80 than 1t
deserves. After the butter fats are
nut of the milk there remains tho
casaine, which is far more valuable for
nutrition. But after the renner has
separntcd the cheese from the milk
what is there Of good for feed that can
remain? Many think the whey IL
good for nothing They point to the
fact that pigs will starve and finally
die il fed ON whey exclusively. 80
they will also, il fed exclusively on
sugar. There is considerable sugar III
whey, the sugar of milk, which by fer
mentation il made into koumiss. IL
also contains usually some butter fats.
But these, like the milk sugar, ara
carbohydrates, and alone are not "a
good ration. But mix some line wheat
middlings with whey, and see how the
pigs will thrive on il. The middlings
supply the heterogeneous part of tho
ration. and ON such diet the pigs will
grow fat. The sugar in the whey IL
much more faitening than is the wheat
middlings.

An EInperor For "a Guide.

1 heard pretty story the other day,
writes William T.. Curtis from Berlin,
of two American girls who visited the
palace at Potsdam, Germany, and had
the unusual honor of being escorted
about the ugly old building by the Em-
peror hinse,s. Ntts,,s-tsetee % trait IN
his character that is not often talked
about but is shown frequently. The
imperial palace is open to visitors only
when the Emperor and his family are
absent, but, without knowing this fact,
the two American lalies made the
journey out there aud were repulsed
by the usher at the door. They un-
derstood very little German, and he
could talk no English, but, with the
usual persistency of the American
tourist, they were trying to induce
him to admit them. While they were
in the midst Of the controversy gem
tleman in the uniform of soldier
came rapidly up the steps, much to
the confusion Of the doorkeeper, and,
addressing the ladies' in English, asked
il he could be of any service TO them.
They explained that they had come up
from Berlin to see the palace, and
were very much disappointed because
they were not allowed to enter it.
~ think | can let you in" he ans
wered, "and will show you around
myself"
So he escorted them through the
various rooms and corridors and ex.
planned everything in a most enter
tanning manner. Then he followed
them out to the portico, where one of
them, who had kodak, asked permis-
sion to take his photograph. She
hadn't the slightest suspicion who he
was, but during the hour they had
been together in the palace they had
laughed and joked familiarly, and felt
very well acquainted. The Emperor
gracefully consented, and posed for
three snap shots. Then he babe them
good morning. hoped they would en-
Joy their visit TO Germany, saluted
them in the German way and re-entered
the palace.
The young ladies were delighted,
and related their experience with great
gusto when they returned to their
boarding house. That afternoon they
took their kodak to photographer to
have the films developed, and when
they brought home the first prints Of
the handsome officer their German
landlady exclaimed; "Gott in himmel!
Der Kaiser"
The young ladies, being sovereigns
in their own country, were not abashed
at the discovery, although they cannot
understand why they did not recog.
nize him. Nevertheless, they had a
print Of each film handsomely mounted
and sent them TO the Emperor with
their compliments and the explanation
that they were not aware OF the iden.
tity OF their guide or they would have
made q more formal acknowledgment,
of the honor conferred upon them. -
