There IS much difference In the

pendent on the character Of the seed
as the plant sends up Its first leaves
mainly from the starchy matter which
encloses the germ and which the germ
uses until it is able to put forth roots
into the soil. Barley being larger and
heavier than oats has always a broader
leaf. though If oats are sown on rich
land and somewhat late they viii come
up with a leaf that looks like barley.
But this rank growth early IS not re-

stimulates root growth it causes the
plant TO send UP new shoots with much
broader leaves. This dries out the soil
thus preventing the excessive growth

There are some kinds of seeds like

that it seems impossible to terminate
them quickly enough in spring so rs to
keep ahead of the weeds We advise
putting such seed in water made al
most scalding heat, or about 100 de-
grees to 16O degrees, for a few minutes
at time, Withdrawing the seeds and
repeating the scaldng until the seed
shows signs of swelling. Then plant
such seeds, and if the soil is warm the
plants will be up as quickly as the
weeds. Onion seed may he treated the
same way. Some kinds of plants which
come up very small and are not CON
spicuous can be cultivated quite near
to the rows by dropping a few radish

able crop is grown. The radish will
show sooner than almost any other gar
den plant, and what radish are thus
grown can be pulled out and used by
the time the other crop can be seen to

When Sir Thomas Moore was i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London for
refusing to sully his conscience, his
wife rallied at him for his folly in re-
naming in a filthy prison when he
might be merry at home with his
family and in favor also with the king
and council.
He replied: "Why, good Alice, is
not this prison as near heaven as my
own home?'
In answer to her sneer Of contempt
he asked: "How long, think you
might one live to enjoy this house OF
ours?"
Perhaps some 20 years" was hel
answer.
"Were not he a bad calculator, then
who even for hundred or thousand
years would risk the loss of an eter

do the work will be needed, as the
trough, while boiling. must be filed so
as to cover the felloes.
This trough ca can be made of gal
vanized iron, by n timer. Set it on
brick or stone in such a way that a fire
can be built and kept up under it. Put
IN enough oil to cover the felloes, and
let come to a boil. You are now ready
to put in the wheels. The way this
is done is shown so plainly in the illus
tration that description is unnecessary.
To prepare the wheels, let them soak
IN water until the tires are tight wash
ing out all the mud and dirt possible.
After being placed in the oil, the wheel
should be slowly -urned to prevent
charring. The length of time required
TO boil a wheel depends on its condi-
tion as does the amount of oil it takes
for a set. Two sets Of wheels can be
easily set in half a day. This job will
prove far more satisfactory than one
performed by blacksmith. who. often
on account Of the dry wood swelling
after he has shrunk the tire, ruins a
wheel by dishing it.

There are many jobs That a tarInet

time spent in hauling them to and from

and vexation Of unsatisfactory work or

would be to do the work himself. To
do this, it requires an outlay of only
the cost Of a metal trough and linseed
