Practical Seed Testing.

is familiar to nearly every one. A. S.
Hitchcock says in Gardening as to the
time required for seeds to terminate:
Some seeds will commence to germi-
nate by the third day. Each day an ex-
animation should be made, and those
seeds which have terminated should
be recorded and removed.
Grass seeds require as much as three
weeks, and seeds of some trees still
longer time. Beet balls contain from
three to seven seeds With very small
seed it may be necessary to provide for
the circulation of air by placing small
pieces of wood between the layers Of
cloth among the seeds. With most va
rieties of garden plants the majority
of seeds should germinate within q
few days after the first sprOut appears
If the period of termination 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 Go in the
ground.

"The Arabian Nights"

That most fascinating book, "The
Arabian Nights Entertainment" is not
the work Of any one man or men, but
simply a compilation of Arabian folk
lore tales, doubtless told in the bazaars
by professional raconteurs so often as
to make them history. These tales have
suffered many alterations and in their
present form show traces Of translation
to Egyptian soil. The date of the ac-
cepted version is not earlier than 400
A. ID. The book was first introduced
into Europe through translation from
Arabic into the French by one Antoine
Galland in 1904. The manuscripts used
by him bore the date of 1913.

A Florida correspondent OF Farm,
Field and Fireside gives this method
of propagating the mango:
Take a cutting Terminal preferred)
of we'll ripened wood in a dormant
state from eight to twelve inches long.
The stock may be of equal size or lar
ger than the cutting and should be in a
growing condition. Make an incision
on the side Of the stock near the
ground from two to four inches long,
removing only thin shaving of wood,
much as for in arching, but making at
the same time tongue, as for side
grating. Then make like incision,
with corresponding tongue, on the
side of the cutting, but it should be
made within about two inches of the
top of the cutting. Then press the cor
responding tongues firmly in place and
wrap with strong cloth.
The exposed end of the cutting, hav-
ing been firmly pressed into the soil,
should be thoroughly watered and the
soil drawn around the whole so that
little If any Of the wrapping is expos
ed. 1t remains then only to water daily
until the union is formed. A partial
protection from the wind and sun is
desirable but not absolutely essential
in our climate. The top Of the stock
should be removed as soon as the
union is formed and under certain cir
cumstances probably at first.

Prof7ts In Sugar.

An exchange figures cut the profits in
sugar thus; 1t costs considerably more
to plant an acre of sugar cane than an

Dne-third as much water as rice. Cane
Is worth $3.50 to 81 per ton. A yield Of

Then this was heard:
"John, there's leak in the gaspipe
in the kitchen. Well all die If it is not

A Light Heart Under Failure.

A light heart under failure Is con-
dition Of success which may be written
down as an essential. No one should
need to be warned against the deleteri-
Gus effects Of the blues. Nothing dead
ems the heart Of enterprise or unstrings
the nerves Of action like fit Of the
blues. In one Of those beautiful pray
ers which Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote for us in his Samoan household
he prayed for Courage and gayety
and q quiet mind" A man who backs
up his brains with these three gifts
has all the odds in his favor. 1t is next
to impossible that he should fail in
what he undertakes to accomplish.

Brome Cra., Bents Timothy.

Bronze grass and timothy were grown
at the North Dakota station to COM
pare the yields of green grass and to
study their relative value fer hay, con-
sidering their yield and chemical COM
position. In five cuttings during the
season bronze grass yielded 5,537.6
pounds of green grass or 1928 pounds
of dry matter per acre and timothy
4,GS1.6 pounds Of green forage or
1,422.S pounds OF dry matter. The re-
suits were decidedly in favor CT bronze
grass for permanent pasture. Bronze
hay contained about twice as much
protein as timothy and no more fiber
than the average for timothy grown in
different parts of the country. Owing
to its larger root system, bronze grass
is considered better humus producer
and soil improver than timothy.

There is a tremendous desire on

play the hero in the great events Of
life. Did you ever stop to think
than it is far easier to head 4 sub

that it is to be just and generous
with the people who are working for
you? There is many woman who is
hunting around for a mission and at
tracts considerable attention for
her excellent work as temperance
speaker in public meetings whose
bwn boy is going to the devil as fast
As he knows how because he has no
mother to look out for him and be
his companion. There is the young
girl who can entertain her friends
very beautifully on the piano, who
isn't worth cent when it comes to
helping her mother wash the dishes,
and so the list might be heightened.
We all need to learn that while it is
a fine thing to be able to do special
things, nevertheless it is in the CON-
mon place duties, the drudgery of
life, where the real test of greatness
of character is revealed.
