Superficial Farming,

There is a time in the history OF
pays better than any other kind of
farming, or at least that is the opinion
we hold without giving the assertion
a systematic investigation. That time
Is when inhabitants are few and the
rich lands free and abundant. The
land Is pastured over specifically,
plowed superficially and cropped over
superficially. The results are salts
factory. The new settlers, living in
log cabins that cost nothing but labor,
pay no taxes to speak of, and find 1t
possible to get all the clothing and
other necessities from the products of
their own lands or flocks or herds.
With all wants abundantly supplied
there is no inducement to do anything
but superficial farming. The fathers
transmit their methods to their sons,
and they to succeeding generations,
and that mode of farming becomes
fixed. In time the methods come to
be regarded as orthodox" for all con-
ditions.
Meantime people become more nu-
merous and land scarce. Populations
crowd each other and the value of
land rises. Taxes multiply, and the
farm expenses become items of the
first consideration. 1t is evident that
new problems have arisen that the
old-style farmers cannot solve. The
customs Of generations, however,
prove strong, and the multitude Of

Quality Of Seed Corn.-The yield of

on the quality Of the seed, which
should be selected before the corn is
cut, having regard to the size and
character of the stalk as well as to
the ripeness and type of the ear.
When the season is especially favora-
BILE for thoroughly maturing the ears.
enough seed to last at least two years
should be gathered, completely dried
out before frost, and stored in a warm
dry place. A difference of 2 per cent
in the yield OF dry matter on two ad-
jacent acres was noted in favor of the
crop grown from well-ripened seed
over the yield from seed grown in n

A Mystery of the Sea.

One of the most curious finds ever,
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores in 1858. The is
land Of Corvo was then in the posses
sion of two runaway British sailors.
One morning there drlfted ashore a
craft which had evidently been frozen
in the ice for long time. It was an
ancient and battered brig, without
masts, bulwark or name, but the
matches We're on. the cabin doors fast,
and the hulk was buoyant She had lit
tie cargo, and that consisted Of skins
and furs in prime condition.
No papers were found in the cabin,
but it was figured that she was a
sealer or trader, carrying crew Of
10 or II, and that she had been pro-
visioned for a year. The -four was
spoiled. but the beef was perfectly
preserved. She had been abandoned
when frozen in an iceberg and drifted
for years. The date of the letter found
In the forecastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half q
century before. The two sailors got
out the furs, which eventually brought
them $4,000, and two barrels of beef
and then set fire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found Of it's name or owners.
