How Cider Is Clarified.

The use Of gelatine for clarifying cider
is practised to some extent, as is also the
use of blood, lime, plaster of paris, alum
and the whites of eggs. If gelatine is
used. it should be in the form of isinglass,
which should be dissolved in water or
weak boiled vinegar, and added to the
cider. The alcohol or fannie acid in the
cider will coagulate some of the gelatine,
and in falling it will bring down with it
the impurities in the form of sediment.
If cider has but small amount of spirit
or astringent in it, it may not coagulate
the gelatine sufficiently, but a good or
binary cider would probably do SC. Two
or three ounces of gelatine would be
enough for barrel.-Farm and Fireside.

HOW TO TEST YOUR SEEDS.
Several Practical Methods by Which
It Can Be Done at Little
or No Expense.

1t is important TO test the vitality Of
seeds that you are in doubt about, and
where the crop requires an even
stand and an exact amount is planted,
as for instance, corn. Here we plant q
few grains in each hill, and if the seed
should happen to be poor, the crop
would be greatly lessened When one
knows about what per cent of the seed
will grow, he can obtain a larger re-
turn for the seed. In some kinds Of
plants there is great variation in the
vitality of the seed, and this makes
testing very important. There are sew
eral practical methods by which thu
testing can be done easily, and With
little or no expense. A very simple
method is to take an old box and fill
1t with moist earth Ga cigar box might
dO), and set it in a warm room near
the window. Then select a certain
amount of seed, say 100, and plant
them in the soil, being careful to know
the exact number planted. Keep the
within a few days they will come up,
Then count all that grow, which is the
per cent. of termination. Perhaps the
best and simplest plan is to take two
plates, and place in one of them 4
folded cloth; wool or flannel is prefer
able since it retains moisture for u
long time, but any cloth will do. The
cloth should be free from dyes that
will come out when soaked in water,
as the chemicals might be injurious to
the seed. Wet the cloth and press out
the surplus water, leaving it very
damp, but not soaked. Place the seeds
between the folds of the cloth, put in
a record marked with a pencil on a
piece of paper, with the date and num-
Der of seeds, and then place the sec
ond plate inverted, for a cover. Sc
lec1ng the sample to be tested is OF
great Importance 1t must be a fair
sample, including both good and bad
appearing seeds. If the quantity is
considerable small amounts should be
taken from different parts of the mass
These small samples, thoroughly
mixed, form the larger sample from
which the proper number of seeds is
to be counted. In counting out the
seeds, fair number of small and i'm
mature ones should be selected, as well
as the large and plump ones.-St. Louis

Odds and Ends of Time.

How few of us realize the Importance
of making use of our odds and ends of
time-the ten minutes, or half hours,
that so many of us sweep out into the
waste of existence. Too many of us think
that when our days work is done, we are
entitled to rest; and this is in measure
true But by making use of the little,
broken fragments of time, in different
way from the ordinary routine, we are
getting rest, as well as gaining knowl-
edge. These leavings of days and rem
nants of time can be put to good and sys-
tematic use, and he who does this judici-
ously through life will have learned and
accomplished more than many of those
whose time is all their own.-Agricul-

HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT.
There Were Obstacles to the Free
Movement of Doors That
Opened Outward.

There was man who had read that it
was safer to make the doors of all houses
open outward instead of inward, says the
Chicago Tribune.
He remembered it, and when he built a
house of his own he had all the outer
doors hung in accordance with that idea.
One bright morning in March he moved
into his new home.
Late in the evening of the same day it
began to snow, and it kept on showing un-
til the ground was covered foot deep.
Then the wind blew and piled the snow
in drifts.
After which it began to rain.
The rain later turned to sleet and the
mercury sank 20 degrees.
And the next morning the neighbors
were astonished beyond measure at the
sight of frenzied man with his head thrust
out of second story front window of that
house, gesticulating wildly to boy on the
sidewalk and begging him for heaven s
sake to go and call the fire department
and have the ice and snow blasted away
from his doors SO he could open them and
get cat of the house!

WHEAT BREEDING HIS FAD.
Interesting Tests Conducted by ]. N.
Farper of the Kentucky Ex-
pertinent Station.

An experiment which, if it proves a
success, will be of the greatest value to
the whole United States, is now being
conducted at the Kentucky experiment
station. ]. n. Harper, of the station, is
using in the raising of wheat the same
principle that is applied in breeding and
improving horses and cattle, and talks
Interestingly of his experiment
The successful cattle breeder" said
Mr. Harper, selects his individuals with
the greatest care, taking into considera-
ton many points. From those produced
he again selects with equal care the best
individuals, mating them, and so on ad
lnfinitum, producing with each genera
ton better individual, until the per-
feet animal is the result. The same rule
applies to the breeding of horses, sheep
and hogs, and it is this sule that am en-
deavoring to apply in the growing of
wheat.
After the most careful chemical an
Lysis and examination under the micro
scope | have discovered the best variety
If wheat and the variety richest in pro-
tein. l have also examined the wheat
under the microscope and photographed
cross sections of the grain"
Il will select the individual grains and
plant them. Next year will select from
the grains produced the finest specimens
and on the following year will plant
them. In this way hope after several
gears to produce a very fine quality of
wheat.
81 also hope to produce a grade of
wheat which will not degenerate. We
get our supply of seed wheat from the
western states. In few years it degen-
crates and we are compelled to secure
new stock. / hope to produce not only
splendid quality of wheat, but one that
VIII not degenerate and which under
proper care will constantly improve"
The experiment is in its infancy and
several years will be required to deter
mine what its value will be. Other eI-
periments have been made with wheat,
but with methods different from that
which Mr.. Harper is following Should
the effort prove all that is hoped for il,
1t will be of the greatest VSlue to the
agricultural word.

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, March 2S-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with BFight's Disease.
Bnght's Disease has always been consid.
cred incuIaDle, but evidently from the
story, told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it, even in the most adj
yanced stages. This is what he saws:
Il was helpless as a little babe. Nv
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that I would be able to
ind remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that l should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day
when decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time | was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment / was
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease
Will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

Difference in Soils.

Light and heavy soils are accepted
as terms applying to sandy-clay loca-
tons. A sandy soil is considered light
but in reality it is heavier than a clay
soil SO far as weight of soil is con-
cerned; but a light soil is one that is
easy to work, hence the application TIC
sandy soils. Clay soils may be sticky
when wet or bake hard when dry, re-
quiring much labor before the soil can
be gotten in proper condition for crops
but sandy soil is always mellow, sell
dom clogs and can be worked at any
time during the season.
