How long will seeds live and prove
valuable to the Gardener? No def
mite reliable information is at hand.
True, a few scattered experiments
have been made, but these have not
been numerous enough to be useful in
the establishing of rules. It is safe
to accept the practice of planting only
fresh seeds. 1t is a general truth that
they lose their vitality according to
the years they are kept. Some seeds
become of doubtful value very soon.
The practice of some seedsmen of
mixing their old leftover seeds with
the fresh ones is to be guarded against
by every intelligent buyer of seeds.
In experiments carried on for three
years at the New York Experiment
Station to determine the vitality Of
seeds as affected by age the following
partial results were obtained:

Round-Footed Texas Hogs.

A Journal reader at Whitesboro, Tex,
writes: Il see a report from Boons-
boro, Ark, of four round-footed hogs,
and you seem to somewhat doubt that
there are such hogs. But, Mr.. Editor,
here in Gonzales county, as late as six
teen years ago, / have seen them five
or six in n pen with round or mule
feet. They made good porkers and
would fatten just as fast as any other,
but the objection to them was when
they began to get heavy on their feet,
and especially in wet weather, they
could hardly walk. 1t seemed as
though the bones were weak.".-Texas

During harvest last year Edward
Pallas of M~aysviIle, Kan, was caught
in a machine and terribly injured.
While he was sti1l laid up his wife
deserted him. In October he secured a
divorce, which under the state law did
not become final until the expiration
of six months. He died before that
time and now his divorced wife claims
his estate.

Army recruits are scarce in England
as well as in this country. In order
to stimulate the laggard military spirit
among British yokels a genius of the
war office in London has devised what
he calls a "recruitograph." This is q
moving picture machine which shows
all sorts Of attractive views of army
life.

Mexico knows nothing of the dila-
tory court methods so common in this
country. A California prospector had
a case involving some mining prop
erty in Sinaloa. 1t came up first in
February, 1900, and went against him.
1t has since been appealed three times,
all four decisions having been secured
in eleven months. Three of the courts
favored the American.

MI. Justice Brewer. OF the United

address that he who calls a mob into
being cannot be pronounced wholly
guiltless of that which the mob may
do. The remark is both seasonable
and full of sound sense.

A complete list Of the things named
in honor of Queen Victoria would not
only show the esteem in which she was
held, but would also suggest how much
of the worlds progress had taken place
during the period covered by her
reign. The great Australian state
bearing her name recalls the history
making developments in that quarter
of the globe; the Victorian triumphs
of exploration are typifed by the dis
covery of great lakes in Central Africa.

The famous bridge at Montreal. the
beautiful park on the Canadian side OF
Niagara Falls, and some at least of the
sixteen Victorias in the United States
are among the interesting North Am
erican memorials. 1t is a good advan-
tage for a sovereign to possess a name
not identified with anybody else, for
then things named in her honor will
indicate to all the future about the
time in the history when they came
into being.

The chancellor of the excheuuer in
England has asked the speaker OF the
house OF commons to punish the Lon
don Times for printing official secrets
by excluding its representatives from
the house. The Times is something of
a national institution itself, although
it has been badly treated by it's edi-
tors, and it is just about as essential
to parliament as parliament is to it. A
good many English public men might
as well not talk at all as not to have
their speeches reported in the Times.

Ths Low-Down commercial Fertilizer.

2h9 Low Down Commercial Fertilizer.
The commercial fertilizer is again
In evidence. The barn door and the
roadside fence beam with the adver-
easements which announce a multitude
OF brands as absolutely superior to all
competitors. The calendar upon the
wall, the memorandum book in the
pocket, the piles of bags at the depot,
the all pervading odor in the air, all
tell the story that spring is coming,
and that fertilizers are for sale.
Most farmers buy them in a bag,
mixed, ready made. Such are the easy
Fertilizers. They are quite generally
bought without regard to their char
acter or their fitness. The name and
above everything else-the price are
the controlling factors in the pur-
chase. Close buying is all right, but
lt seldom happens in n trade that
the cheapest is the best, though it al
o always happens in the fertilizer
traae that the best is the cheapest.
Yet the trade has for years in some
sections been largely in low-grade
goods-the cheap, low down brands.
