Alcohol is the best known antidote
for carbolic acid. If applied early to

the acid in a few seconds. If alcohol

good substitute. Whisky, in large guam

great hopes raised by Count de Whites
call to power and the subsequent dis
appointment at his failure because OF
his vacillation and inconsistency. He
complains that de Witte, instead of
declaring ruthless war against the rev.
dictionary terrorist party actually con-
tributed toward tieing the Gordian
knot between the modern opposition
party and the teirorists tighter than
it was before. Whites policy, in fact,
the writer continues, led to the cleo
ton of a parliament of a revolution
airy character, representative not of the
Russian people, but of the stump po-
litical lawyer of the population, and
hence its dissolution is merely a ques-
ton of time.

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 first-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 a foregone conclusion that it
pays to buy good seed and therefore to

The Government Seed Business.
The Agricultural Department is buster

ages of free seeds for Congressman. 1t

distribution, while carried out by the
Secretary of Agriculture, is no scheme
Of his, but is Congressional affair, pure
and simple. In every session there is

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 cases 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
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 old-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
original habitat of the plant the first
crop may not appreciably deteriorate the
second year, the crop from that seed
will show marked falling off in yield.
| II is for this reason that some of the
w;sest farmers and planters send regu-
larly considerable distances for seed.
The seed catalogues always carry
number of pages of novelties and new
varieties which are described in an ex-
tremely attractive form. 1t is well
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
varieties which have stood the test of
years.
An examination of many of the seeds
of common vegetable and forage re-
veals the fact that an immense amour,
of poor seed is sold to American farm
ers and gardeners. Farmers as a rule
are responsible for this condition, since
as has been said, many of them buy the
cheapest seed in the market and trust
entirely to hck for it to produce the en-
tire crop. Such seed is dear at any
price, and is withal ONE of the principa
source of the hosts of bad weeds which
are to be seen upon many farms.

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
for 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. 1t 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 so cents OF
$I.oo per bushel below the market price
quoted by the reputable seedsmen
What is the result of using such seed !?
1t must be considered foregone con-
clusion that such seed is poor, worth
even less than the reduced price al
which it is offered The land has beer
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; 80, 40, &c
or 70 per cent of it is an adulteratior
of seed which has been killed or is old
dead or weak clover seed. The re
mainder is good, fresh seed. If he buy
this seed, likely putting off purchas
until the eleventh hour, and uses
without testing its terminating quail
tiles, he may be lucky if he gets half

Broadly speaking, the growing OF farm
and garden seeds may be considered the
most important of agricultural indus
tries, for unless the quality of the seed
IS maintained, the succeeding crop is
greatly diminished in volume and deter
iorated in quality, so that if applied to
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 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"
Seeds Apt to Retrograde.

very marked, and large seedmen go to
