AduIterated Grass Seed.


Secretary Wilson is again after the
seedsmen who are guilty of practicing
adulteration of seeds. Recently he had
caused to be examined, under the law
2Jl samples of seed Of Kentucky blue
grass and go samples of orchard grass
obtained in open market. OF these,
forty samples of seed of Kentucky
bluegrass We're found to be adultera ted
with seed of the inferior Canada blue
grass, while 1873 samples of orchard
grass seed were found to be adulterat-
ed, the seeds most commonly used for
the purpose being English rye-grass and
meadow feScue, the value of neither
being more than one-third to one half
that of orchard grass seed. That the
adulteration of orchard grass is very
general is evidenced by the fact that
samples containing authorizations were
obtained from twenty-four States.
While Canada bluegrass is import
ed into the United States in quantities
varying from 100000 to 100000 pounds
per annum, it is used only occasionally
in this country, and il is evident that
the bulk Of the seed imported is mixed
and sold as Kentucky bluegrass.
IN accordance with the provisions of
the act of Congress authorizing the
Secretary of Agriculture to publish The
results Of tests of seeds Secretary VIII
son has issued a pamphlet giving the
names Of the seedsmen who sold the
lots found to he aduteratGd, together
with the percentages of adulteration in
each lot

Early in the morning after the wed.

Depths Lead to Heights.

A Washington guide directed the at
tention of a party of sightseers to small
gray-haired man, and said, affection
ately;
There goes one of the greatest men in
the country. That's Chief Justice
Fuller"
"Why. he has no stature whatever,
whispered one Of the ladies.
Nor weight" hastily rejoined another.
And ! can't understand" observed a
man in the group, "how he has managed
to attain To so great a height"
The guide answered him significantly
and tcrSely. because of his great
depth. "--Iiarper's Weekly.

We'll Drained Soil for Fruit Tree,

Even the plum, which will stand
more wet than any other class with
the possible exception Of the ounce, re
quires that the soil he we'll drained I,
there is difference between a moist
soil and q wet soil, and Il soil may
be we'll drained yet be moist. It is
next to impossible to expect adequate
results for time and labor expended in
raising fruit in orchards unless the soil
is placed in proper condition. No
fruit tree will thrive on soil that is
wet, whether the wet be on the sur
face or beneath it. Any soil with depth
enough to supply fertility to the tree
rCOtS will grow fruit trees, for even
If it is not rich enough it can be made
so provided it is not so sandy that the
fertilizer goes beyond the reach of the
roots or 50 wet that the roots rot in
stead of grow. The wet soil can be
Subdued by draining and the sandy soil
put in proper condition by stable ma
nErc or by growing any crop which
will supply humus and blowing such
crop under.

Cut Down the Acreage.

Farm labor is growing Scarcer each
year; it is almost impossible to keep
the boys on the farm and equally i'm
possible to obtain labor from the cities
that Is of any use on the farm. Some
OF the poor men in the great cities
would be infinitely better off in the
country where they and their children
might gain health and vigor, but it is
next to impossible 10 keep them on the
farm even If one gets them there, for
they prefer the crowded tenements to
the little cottage in the country.
Every employing farmer will testify
that this is the truth. The alternative
then seems to be Il reduction Of acreage
and more care and fertilizer given to
the portion cultivated; in other words,
special crops and intensive culture
Poultry raising offers one avenue Of
escape from the no-labor question, up
to certain limit. Small fruit culture
another in sections where women and
children may be had to pick the fruit.
After these one must get down to the
growing of crops which he can handle
by himself aiming to get quality and
quantity from n small area. In some
sections farmers are combining and
under an agreement, are turning GER
tain portions of their farms into crops
best suited to them, hay when posi-
bic, and each helps the other during
harvest. the period when the lack OF
help IS most felt. Look into the Ques.
ton Of reducing the area seriously:
it is worth considering before giving
up farming as many are doing yearly.
