CARRY A BIG STICK.
Cane Preferred to Revolver by
Detectives.


president Roosevelt's epigram-
Speak softly and carry big stick
has been quoted all over the world,
said an expert fencing master, who
has taught sword practice In dozen
of the worlds capitals. And 1t is
good advice literally as we'll as figu-
ratively. Do not provoke quarrels;
avoid them If you can. But be pre-
pared for a tight corner. Many night
policemen and detectives carry stout
canes in preference to revolvers. The
stick Is always ready in all wea-
Tiers. The revolver must be car
ried in the pocket, and only an expert
can flash 1t on the instant. When
you are in a situation where your stick
is needed do not figure on using it as
q club. An agile man can dodge the
sweep Of q stick, and knife you before
you recover your guard. Carry the
stick with the tip somewhat in adj
vance, grasping it firmly six inches
or more below the knob or handle.
If you are confronted b. an adver-
sary give him a sudden, hard thrust
with the small end. The stomach is
a most vulnerable point, and If you
catch him fairly the chances are ten
to one that he will double up like
jack-knife. Before he recovers you
can withdraw the stick and hand him
one on the head or the back of the
neck that will put him out Of business
for some time to come. -.

There is great opportunity for adulter-

consider they are saving money if they

Personal Seed Tests.
The average farmer, however, would
do well to carry on little seed test

year, and this course is advocated by
the Department of Agriculture. In

Iieved that there was not a time but
what one could purchase seeds in any
of the large cities or that period.
A Pioneer Scotsman.
In 1884. David Landreth commenced
operations in Philadelphia; Bernard
M,NIahon, in that same city in 1900,
while in 1905, Grant Thorburn began
TO sell seeds in New York. BY 1880
The population had increased from
about three million in 1870, to ten
and a half millions. To meet the
growing demand for vegetables and
towers, these ten and Il half millions
required more than three and half
times as many seeds as were used In
100. Dealers established themselves
in the principal cities and crossed the
mountains.
Along with the reaching out for
trade came the increasing size and
prominence of the catalogue. The ear
lest seed catalogues were mere lists
not intended for general distribution.
Thorburn probably issued the first
seed catalogue as early as 1923.
shortly after the civil war the cata-
iogue became more prominent. Its
size was increased and few illustra-
tons appeared. Novelties were not as
numerous twenty years ago as they
are today; they were not given so
much attention either. Today there is
not an important catalogue but gives
considerable space to novelties.
Seedsmen are on the alert for novel
ties; they are the money makers. The
modern catalogue, with its profusely
illustrated pages while in sense the

years. The amount raised, even at
the present time, is not sufficient to
meet the trade and the greater part Of
the fower-seed sold is imported from
Europe.
Charlevoix county herald., 1905-11-18

this country largely depended upon
foreign markets for seeds, but between
1860 and 1870 as many seed farms
were established as had been during
the thirty years before the conflict.
Growers also became expert and the
market gardener found he could get
from the seedmen just as good seed
as he could save himself and at less
cost. The business of seed-raising in
creased rapidly after the war, farms
being established in various parts of
seed growing commenced in Califor-
MIA, when r. w. Wilson planted So
acres 10 beets, onions. lettuce and car
rots for seed purposes.
Two Thousand Acre Seed Farm.
From this beginning the business has
grown to enormous proportions. Now
n single firm Of growers devotes annu-
ally some 1000 acres to seed crops.
Onion and lettuce are staple seed
crops, while carrot, celery, leek, en-
parsley are all grown by California
seed growers.
While the census of 1890 showed
that there were in the United States
500 seed farms, containing 169,5S0
acres, the census of 1900, with incom-
plete returns, showed more than $500
seed farms. The Census Office made
an effort to collect statistics of seed
growing farms, but owing to the re-
fusal Of a number Of the large firms
handling seed to furnish the names Of
the farmers growing seed for them,
the Information secured was very in
complete.

grown to hundreds Of bags, and the
few thousand packets to millions. The
modern seed house has every mechani-
cal continuance to aid in making the
business economical and systematic
From the cellar to the mailing room
everything is so arranged that orders
may be filled with accuracy and dis
patch. During the late summer and
early fall catalogues are prepared for
mailing, and seeds packed in rSsdin"e
for distribution. While one hundred
letters a day was considered a large
business thirty years ago, some houses
now receive over six thousand daily
during the. busy season.
OF course to supply this enormous
trade much attention must be paid to
the growing Of the seed. The present
development of garden-seed growing
began when David Landreth estab-
lished a small seed farm at Philadel-
phia in 1874. During the Civil War

body a pamphlet describing simple
methods of testing seeds.
Firms with any reputation behind
them can not afford TO work off poor
seeds, and if lot of seed is tested
and found to be defective in germina-
tive qualities, the seedsmen will prob
ably stand ready to supply a good arti-
Gle in its place. The fault, in fact. may
not be the seedman's. Although the
seed dealers attempt to convey the
idea that they raise their own seeds
on their own farms, such practice Is
manifestly impossible where vast sup
piles of seeds are furnished. They
raise some of the seeds, but large
quantities are contracted for by them
with other growers and farmers, and
there Is always a chance Of the seeds
men themselves being imposed upon.
So that 1t is we'll for the individual
grower to test each batch of farm or
garden seeds which he expects to
plant. The test which he can make
will show him nothing regarding vari-

cabbage instead of some high-priced

at the end Of the year; but the gov
eminent experiments along this line
are effectually holding the more IRE

farmer himself can check up with his
