his lip had the cur! and sneer that It

Finally there was a weakening and
suddenly the flood gates were opened

GOOD, SOUND SEED CORN.
Farmers May Increase Their CrOps
If They Will Only Exercise Care
in the Selection of Seed.

One thing that can not be too earn
estly urged upon farmers is the ne
cessity of procuring thoroughly good,
sound seed-corn. 1t is better to pay
as high as two dollars a bushel for
thoroughly good seed of variety
that is adapted to your locality than
to accept as a gift something that is
in the least doubtful in terminating
or yielding qualities. I have known
farmers to drive ten miles to get
seed-corn of doubtful qualities at fif-
ty cents bushel rather than pay a
dollar bushel for first-class seed at
a neighbours. I well remember the
sound berating one of my neighbors
once gave another because he would
not sell him at market price seed
corn which he had carefully selected
in the fall and kept in the best man
ner over winter. Rather than pay
three dollars for seed enough for six
teen acres, he picked it out of a
neighbor's crib for ten cents bushel
over market price, and then crowed
vociferously over his bargain. Plant
ing was delayed by rains until quite
late in the season, and then about one
third of the bargain" corn germinat-
ed. 1t was a large, late variety, and
failed to come anywhere near ma
turing before frost, and the crop was
a complete failure. For two dollars
more than he paid for The seed he
planted he would have had good
stand and good yield of sound corn.
In this matter, above all others, a
farmer can not be too careful. If for
any reason he failed to save corn for
seed last fall, he should now lose no
time in procuring a supply from some
thoroughly reliable source. If it
must be procured of a seedman, it
should be bought on the ear rather
than shelled; then one can judge
about what he is getting. I would
much prefer to buy of some reliable
farmer near by, if it can be done. 1t
one desires to change to another va
riety, it is best to buy about a bushel
of it and grow it in a field by itself.
BY doing this one can Judge whether
it is pure and satisfactory or not. 1t
it is, he can then select from the
choicest all the seed he needs for an
other year. I have always advised the
buying Of only small lots of seed OF
improved" varieties that one Knows
nothing about. If it proves good, one
has all the seed he will need for an
other year; while if it is no better or
not SO good as the variety he has, the
loss is very small. I have found that
seed grown on strong, rich soil will
give better yield on thinner or
lighter soil the first season it is plant
ed than afterward, and / believe that
it will pay farmers whose land is
somewhat run down or naturally thin
to buy their seed from some one
whose soil is strong and rich.-Mrs.
Grundy, in Farm and Fireside.

THE SELECTION OF SEEDS.
Proper Selection of Seeds One of the
Most Important Factors in the
Securing of Good Crops.

A seed is that part wiyich is sep
arated from plant for the purpose
of propagating the species from
which it came. This it does faithful
ly with natural liability to varia-
ton, too slight to take it out of the
species, but sometimes sufficient to
give rise to different variety. This
tendency to variation is the basis OF
improvements in plants of all kinds.
Man, finding a variety varying in a
desirable manner, may propagate
from the variation, and find still
greater variation in the same direc-
ton, and continue the process until
q new and improved variety is estab-
lished which will reproduce itself
with as little variation as the orig
inal plant. In this way many thou
sands of improved varieties have been
produced to bless mankind. This i'm
provement has been more conspicu-
Gus in fruits and vegetables than IN
staple crops, simply because more
skill and more scientific knowledge
has been available in the ranks OF
hortlculturists than among agrlcul-
turalists. But in recent years scientific
plant breeding has been applied to
staple crops, and new and improved
varieties have resulted. Some varle-
ties possess one prominent character
istic and some another. Some have
been bred for deep roofing and
drought resisting qualities; some for
early maturity; some for resistance
to cold; some for increased yield per
acre, and some for superiority as
food sog man or beast, or for fineness

Of fiber or durability Of texture. The
Illinois experiment station has sue
ceeded in breeding corn up to a con-
tent of 14.12 per cent. of protein,
where the normal amount is 1912 per
cent, thus in a measure overcoming
the one-sided nutritive value of this
king of grains, and proportionately
creasing it's value. This is only one
instance of what can be done and
what has been done. But farmers
have been slow to profit by this i'm
portant work, trusting to the trlte
adage that like produces like" That
corn, cotton, wheat and oats will pro-
duce corn, cotton, wheat and oats.
While it is true that corn can never
be made to produce oats, nor cotton
seed to produce wheat, it is fact
well known to the best farmers tat
well bred and carefully-selected seeds
of any kind Wiz produce better prod
ucts than those taken at random
from crib or bin. For best results
it is as necessary that seed be care
fully selected for producing crops as
IAdC StCu DS CdAC1ulIy oCACSCSu IL
growing domestic animals. The same
laws govern and similar results fol-
low in either case. Many farmers who
would not permit scrub bull,
stallion, boar, buck or cock to
eat his grass or live in an en-
tire condition on his premises,
will plant any sort Of seed, if it
only seems sound and of fair size. 1t
is now time to be selecting seed for
spring planting. The cribs, bins or
seed-pens are not the proper place at
which to make the selection. Why be
SO careful as to the brand of garden
seed, as all farmers are, and SO care
less as to field seeds? Some farmers
can improve their own seeds, but
large majority do not possess the
technical ski and patience necessary
to do so, and of those who could it
they would not one in fifty do SO, pre-
+ rring to get seeds from those who
have devoted years of study and much
scientific knowledge to the work.
However the matter may be in each
individual case, the best seeds should
be secured and planted and cultivated
in the best manner. In no other way
can the best crops be secured.Texas

PERSIAN ETIQUETTE.
The Host and His Guest Go Through
q Sort of "AlphOnse and
CASTOR" Contest.

In Persia the slightest transgresslon
of the rigid rules of etiquette is
deemed rather worse than crime. 1t
is. the proper thing in that country to
make an afternoon call in the morn
ing, the earlier the better. A writer
in Leisure Hours tells of one occasion
when he suggested calling in the after
noon of a certain day. The PERSIAN
gentleman on whom he was to call
cordially assented, and said he shoulo
expect him at seven in the morning.
Persian houses are, as rule, very
simply furnished. There are neither
tables nor chairs, but only cushions
placed on the carpeted floor all round
the room. Possibly your host, out
of consideration for Europeans IN
ability to make himself comfortable
on the floor, has provided one solitary
high-backed chair for you to sit on.
He conducts you to it, and, bow1ns'
invites you to-be seated in most cour-
techs phraseology, and with graceful
waving of the hands. Etiquette, how
ever, forbids you to seat yourself be-
fore he does, and it also forblds the
host to sit down before his guest is
seated. Hence, each politely declines
to sit down before the other, and "a
contest of courtesy ensues; which ends
at last in both host and guest seating
themselves at the same moment, the
guest on his hosts right hand.
But how about the one solitary
chair? Your instinct suggests that,
as your host has taken the trouble to
provide it for you, the most courteous
thing is to take it.. But it would be a
great mistake for you to do so. Eth
quette forbids you to sit on a seat
higher than that of your host. The
most polite thing you can do, there
fore, is to thank him for his kindness,
but to say that under no circumstances
could you think of sitting on seat ele~
waited above his own.
You at last succeed in sitting down
on the cushions by his side, and the
servants, at a sign from your host,
remove the chair. If you were to sit
on it, they would comment most harsh
ly on your arrogance.
When you and' your host are at
length seated, you bow to one anoth-
er and once more ask after one an
others health, although few min
utes ago the same tender inquiries
were made when you first entered the
room.
Your host has doubtless invited
large number of persons to meet you.
You are not introduced to those pres
ent unless they are persons of i'm
portance, but you must, on ending your
inquiries as to your hosts health, bow
to every one all round the room in
turn, beginning on your right.
When the AFTERNOON caI'' has
drawn to an end and the visitor rises
to depart, he probably finds that his
legs refuse to perform their duty for
few minutes, as he has been sitting
cross-legged, an attitude dear to the
orientals, but by no means comfort
able for European. The host escorts
the visitor to the door, and he rides
away amid the low bows of a number
Of servants.
