SAVING TOBACCO SEED.
Select the Best Of the Plant. and 1kark
Them So That They Will Not
Be Topped.

1t always pays to save the best
plants in field for seed plants. Dur.
ing cultivation Of the crop q constant
search for good plants should be made
by the workers. When an especially
good plant is observed it should DO
marked by stake or rag tied to the
plant, 50 that it may be easily found
and not topped by accident.
A good plan is to place 12-pound
MANILA paper bag over the fowe:
heads of the selected seed plants be.
fore the first flower opens, suggests
w. w. Cobey, of the Maryland experi-
ment station. Watch these bags care.
fully and raise them up farther on tho
growing stems, SO as. to prevent in
jury from crowding in the bag during
The period of growth. At the end Of
the season, when the seed pods are
ripe, cut OF plants near the ground,
and, without removing the bags, hang
up in dry place. These bags protect
the seed from worms, insects. etc..
and also catch the seed which falls of
from early drying.
After the seed has been thoroughly
dried, shell it out and separate the
heavy seed for use. It will always
pay to separate the seed according to
weight, and use only the heaviest. II
seed is selected by this method and
sown along with seed selected in the
ordinary way, the advantage Of this
method Of selection will be quickly
recognized.

SELLING UNRlPE HONEY.
It Will Always Hurt the Business Of
the Honey Raiser AZ Well as the
Honest Competitor.

The bee-keeper who places unrtpe
honey on the market, is not insurine
his own business as honey producer.
but is injuring the business of every
cne else who produces honey for the
markets. Nectar not properly evapo-
rated and ripened is long way of
from being honey, in the sense that
honey should be taken either for food
or medicine.
1t is a great pity. says the Mid
!and Farmer, that all kinds of BUSH
ness have their scalpers who desire
to place their products on the market
unfinished and incomplete. For years
the producers Of farm butter have sui.
fersd the loss Of hundreds of thousands
Of dollars from this cause alone, and
new the shiftless honey producer is
coming in for his share of the loss in
his great hurry to get his so-calleil
hOney upon the market before the bees
have had time to evaporate the water
thsrefrom and ripen 1t 80 that it may
be called honey. II consumers would
refuse to hare . thing to do with So
called honeys which do not weigh IL
pounds to the gallon, it might be that
the shiftless producer of nectar for
the market would be compelled to
keep his product until it was fully
eipened.

It Vas Also arranged that Chief
Washburn should not make the raid

BY telegraph from me that I had sc.

necessary for me to get q secret mes

Gated cipher ordinarily used in the
