GOVERNMENT SEED DISTRIBUTION

The distribution OF vegetable and
flower seeds on congressional orders
is the largest single business which
the agricultural department has to
handle. The total number Of packets
put up and mailed during the fiscal
year 1905 was 35,773.400. These we're
assembled into packages OF five pack
cts each, making 7.110.680 packages.
The seed purchased TO All all these
packets was enough to I'LL 2s cars Of
10000 pounds per car. The work
Of packeting begins about November
Of each year and is completed be-
fore the end OF the April following,
the greater part OF the work being
done in little more than four and a
half months Of this period. If we con-
slider the work TO extend over six
months 500 packets are put up every
minute Of every working day OF eight
hours during that time. During much
Of the time as many as 1000 packets
per minute are put up.
The secretary OF agriculture has
pointed out that, while 1t is his duty
to carry on the distribution in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of congress.
the money expended for vegetable and
flower seeds could probably be more
proftably used for the Introduction
Of new and rare seess. such as grains,
forage crops, cotton, tobacco and the
like. The large quantities Of seed
needed make It impossible to use the
rare varieties even If there were a
sufficient number OF new and valuable
varieties Of vegetable seeds each
year to fill the requirements. The
number OF really new and desirable
varieties Of vegetables that appear
each year is extremely small. and the
seedsmen Of today are so thoroughly
awake to the Importance Of introduc-
ing novelties that any new variety
quickly finds its way into the trade.
It is only the standard varieties of
vegetable and flower seeds. therefore,
that can be used in the general free
distribution. These are in more OF
less regular supply In the trade, and
while the stocks vary In quality It is
not difficult for those who understand
the business and who know the
sources Of supply to secure each year
frst-class seeds at reasonable prices
The first step In arranging for a
new annual distribution IS to prepare
suitable combinations to send into the
different sections Of the United States

for cleaning and retinting when the
shoes become soiled or faded.
The little red blood veins which
sometimes show in the face are often
caused by exposure OF the skin tc
strong cold winds. Applications OF
warm wet cloths until the skin feels
soft. and a gentle rubbing with good
cold cream. into which a little distilled
witch hazel has been beaten. will rem
edy the trouble.

When the collar Of handsome linen

soiled, 1t may be cleaned with little
naphtha or benzine IN the same man

this process the collar does not need

handsome after they are laundered.
To freshen stale rolls. wrap them in
a wet napkin and place in the oven

is TO wrap them In a dry napkin and

and rest so for five or ten minutes,
every muscle relaxed. the eyes lazily
closed. and the mind resting dreamily

One Side Of the Mouth.

Did you ever meet a stranger who
talked from one side Of his mouth,
usually in an undertone and with his
eyes wandering while talking? The
mans manner is not an indication
that he is weighing his words or has
something important to tell. It is al
most a sure sign that he has spent
years in Jail. This manner of talk
ing is acquired in prison. where con-
versation among prisoners is prohib-
tied and where the men have to talk
out of one side Of their mouths in or
der to prevent the keeper from motto
ing that conversation is going on. The
habit sticks to the conyicts for years
after they get out.

Profit in Insurance schemes.

The profit on all kinds Of insur.
ance is. great said a stausucian.
For example. accident insurance. It
is all betting, and the average bet
made by the accident companies is
1000 against 81 that you don't die
by accident during the year.
Suppose a company has 10000. 900
subscribers. Its income then is, at
81 for each $1,000 policy. s160.000. 900.
Statistics show that among 10000. 900
people only $4,000 die by accident
Thus the company pays out but s15.-
100000. leaving a gross annual profit
OF s145,000,O0o. Insurance is a very
good thing. but the rates ought to be
lowered tremendously"
