HANDY LAND LEVELER.

into the soil with its thin edge. A sim
gle horse should pull this leveler with
out difficulty, but, of course, one long
er and heavier could be constructed
which would require two-horse team,
doing faster and heavier work. Two
old plow or cultivator handles can be-
utilized for this leveler while the
shoes can be made from two planks
from wornout drag or stoneboat. A
triangular piece of plank nailed into
the angle between the plank leveler
and the shoe at either end keeps all the
parts united and in their proper place.
The dead furrows," that leave field
so unsightly and inconvenient to NOW,
can be leveled out by letting one end
run ahead of the other, using longer
chain in one ring.-S. Y. Tribune.

A New Service by the New York Cen.
trail Railroad.
George III. Daniels, general passenger
igent of the New York Central and Hud.
son River Railroad, has added a steam
ship bureau to the equipment of the passen.
ger service of the road. He has engaged
Captains Louis 1ngwersen and F. A. G..
Schultze to superintend the bureau, and one
of their duties will be to meet ali incoming

steamships to assist passengers who wish
to leave the city via the Vanderbilt system.
Capt. Ingwersen will have charge of the
American, Cunard, White Star, Atlantic
Transport, Wilson, Anchor and Allan-State
lines, and Capt. Sehultze has been assigned
to the North German Lloyd, Hamburg
American, French, Rotterdam, Red Star

They win meet all incoming steamships,
and will be prepared to furnish railway
tickets, parlor and sleeping car accommo-
dations and to assist passengers with their
baggage and check it to points on the line
of the railroad, after it has been passed
by the customs inspectors. They will also
furnish passengers with cabs operated by the
railroad company, and furnish time tables
and general information to passengers. The
two men have also been directed to assist
passengers who come to this city with
view of going abroad, and such passengers
viii be met at the Grand Central Station
on incoming trains and conducted to the
steamship. Their baggage will be attended
to, and steamship tickets can be procured
in advance by communicating with Mr..

The Location of Creameries.

When the agents of a creamery con.
Germ are trying to place the stock of
new outfit, seeking subscriptions from
the farmers of a community, it is not
question of the proftableness of the
creamery at Elgin or any other dairy
district, but rather a question of the
probability of getting a full supply of
milk throughout the year for the
creamery that is proposed. Many
farmers can never be converted into
dairymen. 1t is only when a full sup
ply of milk is absolutely assured for
the future that these stock subscrip-
tions become at all reasonably safe for
farmers.-National Stockman.

Why some Dairymen Fail.

There are still good many men en-
gagged in keeping dairy cows who do
not hesitate to turn their cows out of
the barn on snappy cold day and let
them drink their fill of ice cold water.
As milk represser ice cold water can't
be beat. The water given the milk
cows in winter should not be lower
than so degrees, and 60 degrees is much
better. The milk COW should never
under any circumstances be set shiver-
ing. June conditions should be given
if you expect June results from her.

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Interesting Bulletin Issued by the
Botanical ONCE of the Kansas
Experiment Station.

It is well known that the vitality OF
seed diminishes rapidly witt age.
Dealers sometimes keep seed over
from one season to another, and, if
the vitality is too low, may mix fresh
seed with this. Low vitality may lot
be due to age, but to unIavorable con-
ditions at time of harvesting, or to inn
maturity. In any case, it is well to de-
termine the vitality before planting.
While it requires some experience to
determine the impurities in seeds, the
farmer can at least test his seed for
vitality.
A cheap and convenient form of ap-
paratus for testing the vitality of
seeds at home is the following: Choose
two earthenware plates of the same
size. Cut out two circular layers of
flannel somewhat smaller than the
plates. Between the two layers of
flannel place 100 seeds of the variety
to be tested. Moisten the flannel with
all the water it will absorb. The two
layers of flannel are placed in one
plate and covered with the other and
set in a warm place. If the flannel
is thin. several pieces should be used
in order to absorb sufficient water.
Other kinds of absorbent cloth or
blotting paper can be used, but thick
flannel is rather more satisfactory. At
the Kansas experiment station we
have used damp sand for a seed bed
with good success. The dishes should
be placed in a room which is kept
waSm at night, or at least where the
temperature does not fall to freezing.
The flannel should be kept moist by
essary. Some seeds will commence to
germinate by the third day. Each day
an examination should be made, and
those seeds which have terminated
should be recorded and removed. For
practical purposes, two weeks is suf-
ficient time for the test. The results
obtained may be considered as repre-
senting the per cent. of vitality under
favorable conditions. The per cent.
terminating in the ground is likely to
be less. In counting out the 100 seeds,
care should be taken to discard poor
or shriveled seeds or the seeds of
weeds or other plants which may be
present.
SSSOS as
three weeks, and seeds of some trees
d still longer time. Beet balls contain
from three to seven seeds. With very
small seed it may be necessary to pro-
vide for the circulation of air by pla-
cling small pieces of wood between
the layers of cloth among the seeds.
With most varieties of garden plants
the majority of seeds should germi-
nate within few days after the first
sprout appears. If the period of ger
mination extends over a longer time,
it shows that the vitality of the seed
is low. Seeds of the carrot family and
some melon seeds may not show as
high results in the terminating dishes
as they do in the ground. Below is
given a list of common seeds, with the
average number of years that they
will retain their vitality (taken from
