Teatin0 Seeda.

The farmer or gardener should test
his seeds before planting them or SOW
Ing them, to see how large proper
ton OF them will terminate. We know
OF 40 better way to do this than to
place them between two layers Of fan
nel. which place In plate, moisten
with water and cover with another
plate, then set Ia a warm place where
1t will not freeze nights, and keep the
flannel moist. Most Of garden seeds
should terminate in u few days. Any
which do not appear within a week
after the first comes may be considered
practically valueIess, for although some
might be more than week behind the
first, and yet sprout finally, where they
start no slowly they seldom make Wig
orous plants. 1t is good idea to count
the seeds put In. say 100 Of each for
small seeds. and il 80 to So per cent. Of
them have put out good sprouts at the
end Of the test they are good seed, and
70 per cent. is a very fair seed, though
we would not care TO use any that did
not test up to that. OF course the time
before the first sprout appears varies
with different seed. Lettuce might
come in three days, and some kinds of
grass not In less than three weeks.
Carrots are said to terminate better in
the soil than under this test, and the
same may be true of beets.-American

Bran ana corn Ff1Ce0s
Az bran also contains a large pro-
portion of fat and starch 1t does not
differ very widely from some grains,
and the only way to Judge OF the value
Of bran Is to compare 1t with the price
Of corn. Ii corn ia selling at $50 per
ton and bran at SIS, the farmer should
then consider whether 1t would pay
him to buy bran on a difference OF 50
per ton, but in SO doing there must be
also considered the kinds of food al

the purposes for which the animals are
kept and the value Of the manure from
the stock. The greater amount OF pro-
teln in bran, as compared with corn,
should make 1t more suitable than corn
for cows which produce milk that IS

trogen is carried away In milk. There
Is also q gain in the mineral elements
In the use Of bran, as corn Is deficient
In that respect. For young and grow
ing stock the foods that contain the
mineral elements should be preferred,
but where linseed meal and clover are
used there will be no necessity for
feeding bran. A large number of farm
ers purchase bran, and 1t will be to
their interests to endeavor to know

market, as a falling of In the nutri-

I4H WITIIO TfE HISDOM.

What can be done by lawmakers who
don't know much about that concerning
which they legislate has been graphic
ally illustrated in Kansas during the
last few years. 1t has also been Illus
trated In Germany, where the Reichs-
tag passed an ''anti-futures' law, de-
signed to prevent a certain form of
speculation in the stock exchanges
The sale of ''futures'' was held by the
German populists to be injurious to the
farmer and other producers. Quota
tions, 1t was thought, would be higher
and more stable II the Spectator were
suppressed. Some manufacturers ia
vored restrictive legislation on the
ground that their business was unduly
injured by having their shares driven
up and down at the caprice Of specula-
tors. During the first years of the law
forbidding dealings In futures its evils
were not much felt, because prices
were steadily rising. But since April
Is, when prices began to sag, the re-
gime of cash sales" has been found
disastrous. Steadiness of price Is i'm
possible. Fluctuations have been enor-
nous and the speculator as q steadier
of the market has been missed. In
stead Of the steadness predicted the
German boerses have shown a violence
of fluctuations in Industrial shares
which is quite unparalleled In the his
tory Of these institutions The simple
explanation Is that the German law
prevents selling for future delivery;
hence there is no buying for protit-tak-
ing. and once prices start downward
there is hardly any stopping them.
The short-seller is always a villain in
the eyes Of the bulls" but he has often
been very helpful to bulls and useful to
me markets in several ways.

CHIC4Go,s VIEW PRIDE.

1t Is cold day and also warm day
when Chicago cannot find something In
herself to be proud of. She looks In the
glass much and Is always rewarded
Just now she Is tickled with the dis
covery that she eats more frogs legs In
a year than any other place In the Unit
ed States. There frogs are provided for
the masses, being sold In the depart
ment stores. In these stores the frogs
are kept on sale In large tanks, and are
flshed out In quantities to suit the Gus
toner. 1t Is reported that on a recent
Saturday $4,000 frogs were sold In the
markets at Chicago. 1t Is admitted
that this is about 1900 more than the
average Saturday night sale, but the
same report maintains that the average
sale during the summer months is about
100000, and that the demand Is far In
advance Of the supply.
The people Of those cities where frogs
legs are not a conspicuous and common
article of food may not be able to see
much in Chicagos new pride. But per-
haps 1t Is just as sensible to be cele-
brated for eating frogs' legs as for do
ing some of the other things which
make men and cities famous.

TIE SIN JOSE SCALE.

in Brooklyn, New York, is disquieting
The San Jose scale Is tree insect
which has done much damage in Cal

an argument against trade with this
country. II has been discovered In
Brooklyn In over seventy places, so 1t
has evidently got good start there. A
vigorous and an intelligent attack 10
to be made on It, and It is to be hoped
that the attack will be successful. II 1t
isn't we In Connecticut may soon have
to go to fighting the insect. We are
told that 1t attacks not only decduous
fruit trees, but the elm, the weeping
willow, and currant and gooseberry
bushes. Its appearance in New Haven
on our beloved and already sufficiently
attacked elms would be saddening.
Here's luck to the good people Of
Brooklyn In their effort to exterminate
the pest.

1t Is believed that at last an effective

prairie dog, has been devised. A bull

dissolve three ounces Of strychnine and
one-half pound Of potassium cyanide in
one quart of boiling water. Then add
two quarts of molasses and one tea
spoonful Of oil Of anise. Stir. Then
pour the solution over a bushel of
wheat and while mixing it together
sprinkle In four pounds of finely ground
cornmeal which enables the gains Of
wheat to carry q larger amount Of

the number Of families to the acre
ranging from ninety to one hundred
and fifty. The bulletin adds the fur

suits, so that 1t is not improbable in
