GOOD SEED IMPORTANT.

If farmers would more fully realize
the difference between good and poor
seed and act upon their convictions in
the matter there would be more
bountiful crops to harvest and less
disappointed farmers. They are aware
of the fact that Like produces like, :"
and if they SOW white oats they gen.
orally expect to reap white oats. al
though too little attention is given to
varieties that ale adapted to soil and
climate. 1t is as useless to try to
grow the large varieties of corn or
grain upon light shallow soil as TO at
tempt to keep the heavy Durham
cattle and Cotswold sheep upon deter
iorated hill pastures. The crop should
be adapted to the soil us we'll as the
animals to the pasture feed.
Tie main suggestion we have to
make upon this matter is the import
ance of planting and sowing good seed.
This means not only seed that is true
TO name but seed that has the vitality
to terminate and grow strong,
healthy plant. 1t often happens that
seed has sufficient powers of germina-
ton to sprout and start to grow but
lacks the inherent vigor to produce a
a brief existence or continues through
the season yielding only fraction of
the crop healthy plant would have
produced. The presence of such seed
in that sown or planted is loss in
proportion to its presence and often
reduces the yield to such an extent az
! to cause loss in the growing of the
crop instead of a profit and the cause
is unknown to the farmer.
1t is serious mistake for any farm
er to neglect to obtain his garden and
field seed until the time of putting it
in the ground, This is often done by
otherwise thoughtful and prudent
farmers. After the land is plowed and
the manure applied, while the hired
man is narrowing it the boy is sent tC
the nearest store for the seed. If corr
is the crop to- be planted the neighbour
hood is ransacked until supply il
; found when it is taken home anC
, planted without regard to variety o
terminating power.
In purchasing seed that has not beef
tested there should be suspicion of an!
seed offered at an unusully low price
, Look over the catalogues of reliabl
( seedsmen at once, select and orde
what is needed and when plantin
time comes you will be prepared i
' the matter of seed, which is an import
S ant matter, and when the vegetable
and other crops are ready for the tabl
a you will not be disappointed in them

RELIANCE TO BE eRoomEo.
Cup Defender VIII Be Thoroughly Over
hauled at Once.

NEWPORT. r. l., July 2S.-With the
selection Of the Reliance as the defender
of the Americas cup against the Sham
off this port is practically finished The
Reliance left at 10 o'clock this morning
for Bristol, where she will be thoroughly
oyerhauled.
Commodore Bourne, of the New York
Yacht club this morning said the Con-
stitution would remain in commission I'M
til the cup races and would give the Re-
lance all possible assistance in tuning
up, either off Newport or in the sound.
1t is likely that the Columbia will go
out of commission within short time.
In reference to the official measurements
of the yachts, Commodore Bourne said
that all figures would be given when the
Reliance and Shamrock III. are measur-
ed just previous to the cup races. The
actual result of the twenty contests in
which the Reliance, Constitution and Co
lurbia have participated therefore will
not be definitely known until that time.
