VIM L Gokay believes that the prob.

weakness, debility, Indigestion and
other physical and mental troubles
that directly result from a weakened
stomach.
OF all the vital organs the stomach
is the most frequently abused and
hence The one which most frequently
fails, aud SO with the discovery OF a
remedy like Mona stomach tablets
which is sold on an absolute guaran-
tee to strengthen the digestive system,
aid in assimilation OF food, and cure
all troubles caused by Indigestion, an
Important step has been taken towards
solving the question OF good h alth

Rocky Ford seed At the end of the
cantaloupe season various individuals
could be seen going over the Rocky
Ford cantaloupe patches and disem-
boweling immature and frosted canta-
loupes for their seed. This seed, it is
true, was genuine Rocky Ford canta-
loupe seed, and it would probably ger
inmate o5 or 90 per cent, but it is OBJ
vious, its sale as frst-class seed was an
imposition. Nevertheless thousands of
packages were annually foisted upon
seed buyers.
So if you are going to buy seed, and
buying seed to greater or less extent
IS advisable, not to say necessary, it
becomes foregone conclusion that it
pays to buy good seed and therefore to
know from whom you are buying.
The Government Seed Business.
The Agricultural Department is buster
than usual sending out millions of pack
ages of free seeds for Congressman. It
should be understood that this free seed
distribution, while carried out by the
Secretary of Agriculture, is no scheme
OF his, but is a Congressional affair, pure
and simple. In every session there is
one or more bills introduced abolishing
what has been termed by more than one
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-02-23

Broadly speaking, the growing of farm
and garden seeds may be considered tn,
most important of agricultural indus
tries, for unless the quality of the seed
IS maintained, the succeeding crop i.
greatly diminished in volume and deter.
iorated in quality, so that if applied te
the country as whole, the loss would
be enormous.
"The great magnitude of the American
seed business is little appreciated" said
a prominent seed dealer in describing
the carloads Of field and garden seeds
which he handles each spring. "The
producing capacity of the seeds quickly
deteriorates, in most instances, and the
most successful farmers buy large guam
titles of seeds. The farmer IS a some
what cautious individual, and although
he buys, on an average, double the
amount of seeds he did ten years ago,
he has not, in every instance, reached
the point where he recognizes that the
greatest economy lies in getting the best
and patronizing only those houses whose
reputation forbids them to sell poor and
adulterated seeds.v
Seeds Apt to Retrogsade.
The deterioration in many seeds is
very marked, and large seedmen go to
great lengths to produce the best pos
sible seed and to have various establish
ments in different parts of the country
where the conditions are the best for
production. It is not possible that the
best results can be attained in produce
ing great number of seeds on any one
farm or in any one locality, however
favored. The soil and climate which
may be the best adapted for producing
enc kind of seed may result only in a
very inferior seed from some other kind

purchase in open market samples o.
seeds of grazing and forage plants, test
the same and publish the names of per-
sons selling adulterated seeds.
So extensive is the seed business in
the United States that many'seedmen go
to an enormous expense in publishing
each year catalogues giving the many
varieties offered for sale by them.
Home TESTS of Seeds.
The Department of Agriculture in or
der to aid farmers to determine Tor
themselves without much trouble the
terminating qualities of seeds purchased
by them, has issued a number of bulle-
tins upon the subject A very simple
apparatus for sprouting seeds is describ-
ed in the bulletin. 1t consists of shall
low tin basin or one of granite ware.
The bottom of the basin is covered with
water and small flat bottom of porous
clay is placed inside. The seeds after
having been soaked are laid between
two layers of moist blotting paper or
flannel cloth. A pane of glass covers the
dish, which is to be kept in tempera-
lure of about 70 degrees. The atmosphere

In Korea the women. on their wed
ding day, will not open their mouths
to peak, no matter what the tempta-
ton or provocation.
Sometimes this silence Is continued
through the first week of married life.
Although no such custom exists in
the Western world, extraordinary cases
are not wanting. In the early forties
a New York lady undertook, for a
wager of $3.50, to remain mute during
the month of her married life.
Her new-made h':sband, who, natur-
ally, was not in the secret, was so much
incensed at his brides behavior, that
he left her before her TASK was com.
pleted, only to return later when ap-
prised of the real reason for this un-
natural silence.
On one anniversary OF their wedding
day Brussels couple quarrelled SO
bitterly that the wife, in passion.
vowed that her husband should never
again hear the sound of her voice. She
would there and then have left the
house, but her now penltent husband
implored her not to desert him. To
that extent only did his entreaties pre-
vail, for she kept the letter Of her oath
and never in her spouse's presence
did she unloose her tongue.
An Austrian woman, whose husband
was in hiding from the authorities, in.
advertently betrayed his whereabouts
to neighbor, who was secretly in the
pay of the police. AS result, he was
taken, and received term of imprison-
ment.
So much did his wife take to heart
this misfortune, which had been
brought about by her gossip, that she
resolved for the remainder of her life
| to remain mute. She would not make
an exception even in her husbands
favor, for, although she received him
on his release with the utmost affec-
ton, she maintained an obdurate
silence till her death, three years later.

lies idle and he curses his luck whiel
has thus shown itself against him
whereas the fault was his own, and HI
was simply penny wise and pount
foolish.
This can be said of many different
kinds of seed.
Or suppose he buys expensive early
cabbage or radish seed, it is an easy
matter for the Inscriptions dealer tc

viously killed ESQ that they will not

buyer is particularly ebservant It may
never occur to him that he has been

Tricks of Some Dealers.
Another method of defrauding the
seed buyer, practiced by cheap seedsinen
who never expect to do business Sec
ond time with the customer, is to sell
him outright the cheap seeds of some
plant such as muskmelon, for instance,
rnder a label of some new or high
priced variety He puts in hard sea-
sons work trying to raise good musk
melons, and at the end he finds he has
heterogeneous collection of inferior
sorts. Still another practice which the
reputable seedsmen will not counten-
ance is to sell seeds which may be true
to name and which will also terminate,
but which are weak and poor. An ex-
ample Of this was noticed by the writer
in the Colorado muskmelon fields. The
Rocky Ford cantal0upes had for some
years attained countrywide fame
through their sweetness and fine flavor.
They were shipped all over the United
States. Then came a great demand for

OF plant. So that seeds, as they are
handled by the big seedsmen, are gath.
cred in by them from all parts of the
country from Maine to California. In
the latter state some of the vastest seed
fields OF the world are found, where the
eye ranges over unbroken rows, miles in
extent, at least as far as the eye can
reach. If all this industry should cease
tor year and the farmer and gardener
became dependent for the succeeding
crop on the seeds which he would him
self save during the year, the shrinkage
IN production throughout the country
would amount to tens of millions OF
dollars.
In the Olden Times.
Of course, in the early days each
farmer saved his own seed; possibly he
exchanged seeds with one or two neigh
bors or friends. At that time there was
little competition in farming, the produc-
Ton of the farm was used mainly for
the support of the family, and the farm
supplied practically all the necessities
and even the luxuries of life.
The earliest seed-farm in the United
States is believed to have been started
by David Landreth, the originator of
the present big seed house. This was
before the Revolutionary war, on a
small farm, now included in the city
of Philadelphia. It is estimated that
over 100000 acres, including land in
probably every state in the Union, are
now devoted solely to growing seed
crops, and some of the largest growers
plant annually as high as 1000 acres.
Get Good Clover Seed.
The advantage of securing good ger
minating seed is manifest. Take for
instance clover seed which is sown on
wheat-stubble in the spring. 1t is al
ways possible to secure it at 50 cents or
$I.oo per bushel below the market price
quoted by the reputable seedsmen.
What is the result of using such seed i?
1t must be considered foregone con-
clusion that such seed is poor, worth
even less than the reduced price at
which it is offered. The land has been
prepared for pasture or hay, some of the
fertilizer used on the wheat crop still
remaining in the soil for the use of the
clover and timothy, and the grass and
clover seed is sown to become the de-
pendence of the farmer for his hay
crop. He buys cheap seed; 30, 40, 50
or 70 per cent of it is an adulteration
of seed which has been killed or is old,
dead or weak clover seed. The re-
mainder is good, fresh seed. If he buys
this seed, likely putting off purchase
until the eleventh hour, and uses it
without testing its terminating quail
tiles, he may be lucky if he gets half a
stand. In other words. half his land

the exchange of air and gases, using a

renewing the water occasionally. Sew
eral kinds of seed may be tested at once
at trifing cost. The Department cau-
tons the far4--.f against extremes of
temperature and excessive moisture dur
ing the experiments. In some of the
larger and more reliable seed houses of
this country there is a wen-equipped
and appointed incubator room in which
tests are made by the seedmen in
order to ascertain whether or not the
seeds will really grow. This is done
with every lot of seed that comes in
the warehouse and before distribu-
ton through the country. Results OF

these growths are recorded in a book
and kept for ready reference in the
event of complaints. The busiest times
in the American seed warehouse is from
November to March, and often April,
when enormous quantities of seeds and
bulbs pass through the buildings first in
large sacks and later in smaller pack
ages by mail and express on their way
to the progressive American agricul-
turist.

plants as may be of real value to the
farmer in Congressional district, new
and improved varieties, even though
only one package could be sent Out
where now score or two are sent, the
expenditure would be defensible. This
would be building up our agriculture,
and there would be eases where the
entire agricultural output would be
changed, greatly to the advantage of
the farm. The Secretary is, in fact,
employing this idea, as far as he is left
any discretion in the matter of seed
distribution. He is allowed by Congress
a small appropriation of this free seed
money, and where his explorers in the
old countries of the world have brought
in new plants and seeds which it is be-
lieved will be an Improvement on those
already grown by American farmers, he
sends these out in sufficient amount to
admit of rational test by farmer.
Time to Abolish the System.
AS it is now carried out, the free seed
distribution should be stopped, and the
work of supplying the ordinary farm and
garden seeds, the results of which are
known to everybody, should be left to
the regular seedmen.
The seed business of the United States
IS one of great magnitude While there
are, of course, INSCRIPTIONS and fake
seed houses who do not hesitate to
adulterate the seeds they supply, the re-
putable firms take great care In seeing
that their seeds are not only fresh, with
good terminating powers, but true to
name. The od-fashioned way was for
each grower to save his own seed, but
in many of Our principal crops it is
found that the seeds grown in certain To-
calities produce heavier yields, and while |
if the planting is done little out of the
or. inal habitat of the plant the first
CROP may not appreciably deteriorate the
seoont year, the crop from that seed
will show marked falling off in yield. |
1t is " this reason that some of the
wisest farmers and planters send regu-
larly considerable distances for seed.
The seed catalogues always carry a |
number of pages of novelties and new
varieties which are described in an ex-
tremely attractive form. It is we'll
enough to try these novelties, but It IS
good advice to consider them as such
and have the main crop to fall back
upon from the standard or well-tried
which have stood the test of
years.
