CHANGING Seed.


There is yet much to be learned
about the matter Of increasing crops
by obtaining seed from other sections
than that where 1t is to be planted. At
the Iowa Experiment Station they OBJ
tanned potatoes from Canada and plant
ed them by the side of seed grown up
on their own soil, from the seventh
crop of that variety grown there. They
obtained 754 bushels per acre from the
Canada seed and 100 bushels from the
home grown seed. Yet the results are
not always that way even with pota-
toes. 1t may be said that generally
home grown potatoes do not produce as
much as seed grown farther north, but
1t is not an invariable rule. and some
successful growers would not trust
their crop to seed which they had not
grown and saved themselves, and say
that when they have tried it home
grown seed has always produced the
best crop. The result of one expert
ment do not prove case, and we need
more, with a thorough knowledge Of
how the crop was grown, and seed Sc
lected in each case. We need to know
if forcing crop to grow and mature
in shorter time, either by a richer soil
or cooler climate, or both, will make
the seed more prolific.

1t is one thing to keep an old animal
that has been the pride and pet of the
family for years, after it has ceased to
be profitable, and another to keep one
that is not and never was able to earn
its keeping. Yet while not many farm
ers feel able to do the former for senti-
ment's sake, there are hundreds who
are doing the latter from no other rea-
son than an objectionable ignorance as
to the cost of keeping, and the actual
results received from the animal. The
Babcock test is doing much to weed out
some of the improbable cows, when
used in connection with the regular
weighing of the milk, but other animals
need to be looked after. Sheep need to
be culled carefully every year, and
those that do not produce and bring
up good lambs and a good shearing of
wool should be fitted for mutton. There
is many a man who keeps a horse,
when he could hire one to do the work
he has for him at less than the cost of
feeding, and others who keep two
though one could do the work except
ing during a few days in the year
Weed out the Improbable animals
even if obliged to kill and bury them
They may do the world some good in
that way.

MADE HIM BEAT A RETREAT.

Incident in the Career of a Noted
Literary Clergyman.
Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, whose
"Recollections Of a Missionary in the
Great Vest has been SO favorably re-
ceived, has overlooked one incident in
his career that at the time made him
the most-talked-of man in Denver. 1t
occurred decade or more ago, before
Mr.. Brady's literary efforts had made
his name SO generally known as it is
at present. He was then the rector Of
one. of Denver's fashionable churches.
Certain of the young ladies Of his con-
gregation, in the interest of raising
funds for some pious purpose, hit upon
the plan of presenting comic opera.
The exigencies of its presentation ne
cessitated a most noticeable shortening
of the skirts of the ladies of the chorus.
Their devotion to the cause enabled
them to bear up under that ordeal-and
for some of them it was an ordeal in
more senses than one-and after elab-
crate preparations and rehearsals in
Vulnerable the piece was produced in
one of the local theaters. Rev. Mr..
Brady was there, of course. But he
had hardly settled himself in his seat
after the curtain arose before the young
ladies of his congregation Sunday
school teachers and choir singers and
what notified before his astonished
gaze In a garb that left as little to the
Imagination in certain respects as the
display in a hosier's show window.
The now popular writer stayed long
enough only to reassure himself as to
tie correctness of his vision and then
stalked grandly out of the place.
The uproar that followed-the ladies
belonged to Denver's most exclusive
Threatened for time to disrupt
the church and filed the newspapers
for days with frantic headlines. But
Rev. Mr.. Brady stood by his guns and
neither threats nor vituperation ever
made him retreat from the position he
had assumed in the face of that hosiery
display.

Two Parliamentary Bulls.

The session of Parliament that re-
Gently ended was not particularly pro-
life of funny sayings, but there were a
couple of good things unconsciously
said. The first was by Mr.. Field, NJ. +.
He had made statement at which Mr..
Chamberlain shook his head, a silent
negative. Mr.. Field turned to Mr..
Chamberlain and proclaimed:
.'The right honorable gentleman
shakes his head-I am sorry to hear il"
The second was from an Irishman,
Mr.. FIavin, M. P. He was about to
put a question to a cabinet minister
when the right honorable gentleman re-
minded Mr.. Flayin that letter had
been sent to him (Mr. F., asking him
to postpone the question until such
time as the minister could obtain the
information needed before an answer
could be given.
Eyes, SIR" replied Mr.. Flavin, "that
is so. I have got that letter, and have
not had time to open it."-Philadelphia

Breeding from Grade Animals,


Years ago, when animals of pure
breed were scarce in this country, farm
ers used to grow some very good cows,
although both the parents were of such
mixed breeds that it would have been
difficult to tell what predominated.
Why was this, and if it was so why do
we so often insist on the use of pure
bred sire? Because such animals were
accidents thatdid not often occur, while
we desire in breeding not to take
chances, but to know with certain de-
gree of surety what we are to expect.
Those animals of our fathers days had
strain of pure blood in them, and per-
haps of more than one breed, and they
were liable to breed back to the best
when they were from the best animals
they could select, as now we find one
Of so-called pure breed revert back to
some unknown and far-away ancestor
of inferior blood. The care in selecting
the best to breed from had as much to
do in determining the character of the
offspring as the length of the pedigree.

Harry's father was an author who
had written several books of which he
was rather proud, but of the merits Of
which his wife never lost occasion,
within her own household, to sneer-
ingly speak. One day this good lady
had need to reprimand Harry for some
error of department, and to add to the
impressiveness of her rebuke she read
an extract from the Bible, at the same
time speaking of it as "the Good
Book and following the reading with
the query:
Harry, do you know why it is called
the Good BookY
"Yes,'' unhesitatingly replied Harry;
"because pa didn't write it."-Boston

White and Dark Meat.

The belief that white meats are more
suitable for the sick owing to greater
digestibf1ty and the presence of less
uric acid and nitrogenous extractives.
is shaken by an analysis made by
prominent medical men which shows
that while white meats such as poul-
try and fish do in certain cases, as fish
and fresh venison-contain less ex-
tractive and nitrogenous derivatives,
the average amount does not appre-
ciably differ in dark and white meats
such as poultry, veal, beef, pork, NUT
ton. and so on, to make either prefer
able. The only way of limiting the in
gestien of these deleterious extractive
and nitrogenous substances is by di-
minishing the amount of meat taken,
rather than by forbidding dark meats.
They also asserted that among the ex-
tracuves present in meat the most i'm
portant ones are by no means harmful,
if taken in small quantities as is ordi-
narily done. The same holds good as
regards the other organic extractives
which are nitrogenous.

There are no people in the world SO
pretty trifes give instruction as well as
amusement to those who play with
them. One sort of playing cards have
printed upon them 100 scraps Of elassi-
cal poetry, by which the rudiments Of
the art of versifcation are expected to
be inculcated. Another set is of natu-
raj history cards, to give instruction in
the names and forms of animals; and
still another is especially intended for
girls, affords examples of women who
have been celebrated for their virtues
and noble qualities. So far as both
tops and kites are concerned, the young
American or European is an ignoramus
compared with his Oriental rival.
Among the babies toys is a mouse
that feeds from bowl when little
bamboo spring is touched, lowering his
head and long tail in quite lifelike
| manner Another is small cylinder,
into which one blows through two
small reed tubes, three balls of pith be-
! ing kept bobbing in bit of cage over
the cylinder by the breath, while cut
in one of the tubes produces shrill
whistle. Another is a little man, who
is made to jump up long stick by a
bamboo spring, and still another is a
wooden gentleman, who rides along be-
tween the wheels, being attached to the
axle with heavy base.
Further devices for toy purposes are
kaleidoscope boxes, with glass tops fill
ed like cupboards, with various house
hold utensils in miniature. and bags
with shot for tossing.
