THE LIFE OF SEEDS


The vitality of seed depends partly
on its manner of harvesting, and part
ly on the way it is preserved. Import
ed seed is rarely so full of vitality as
American grown seed. The moist eli
mate of Europe and the sea voyage in
jure it.
Seed kept in air-tight packages, es-
pecially if stored before it is bone
dry" loses its life. Seeds differ greatly
IN the time they will retain their ger
minative power.
Cabbage and turnips may be safely
planted the third year, and will RETAIN
some vitality up to seven or eight
years.
Carrots, parsley, spinach and pars-
nips have low vitality after two years,
and fresh seeds are much to be pre-
ferred
Cucumbers and melons will retain
vitality of 70 per cent up to the thu
year.
Pepper and eggplant seeds are of
little value after the first year.
Beets are at their best the first and
second year, but have been known to
grow crop at eight years of age.
Lettuce is good for four years, but
celery is not safe to plant after the first
year.
Tomato, when we'll cured, is good
for two or three years.
Peas and beans are good for two
years, and if well cured may grow the
third year.
Well cured flint corn will give so
per cent. stand the third year. Dent
corn and sugar corn are of weaker vi
tally, and new seed should always be
planted.-New York Farmer

MILLET AS =. nOG FEEL.


Recently the South Dakota Agricul-
tural Experiment Station gave some
pointers on millet as a hog feed.
First they say that millet can be
grown proftably as fattening ration
for swine.
Second, it does not furnish as good
ration as either barlet or wheat for
swine.
Third, that where it is we'll adapted
to the conditions of the soil, being so
palatable a feed, it shoulu have a place
in the crop on every farm.
Fourth, it did not prove SO profita
bic to feed after period of 3 months,
as it was up to two months, as the rate
of grain decreased.
Fifth, the carcasses that were fed on
millet were covered with pure white
fat of superior quality as compared
with the fat of those fed barley or
wheat.
Sixth, it required one-ffth more mil
let than it did barley meal, and trifle
more barley meal than it did wheat to
make pound of gain where fed to
hogs.
