The persistent vitality OF seeds has
often been noted, and, while there ID
some doubt as to the reliability of re-
ports of wheat taken from Egyptian
graves of ancient date terminating
when planted, many notable, II less
wonderful, examples of natures pre-
servation of the life of seeds come to
life from time to time. One OF the
most noteworthy of these refers to
seeds taken from Fort Conger, about
400 miles from the pole, by the Peary
party In 1899, having been exposed in
this northern climate for a period OF
sixteen years, their presence there be.

Of 1888. Packages of lettuce and rad,
fish seeds were brought to the United

six years, were planted. and, while the
lettuce seed had lost its vitality. fully
one-half of the radish seeds terminated
and grew to maturity and perfection

Directions for harvesting and storing

that the plants be set out as early In

house or bank the crop only when thor
oughly ripe, and to avoid all injury In
harvesting.

The Age of Limit.

Good dairy cows should not be "Os,
lerized" until they are at least Il years
old, and even after they have reached
that age some continue to produce !.
large quantity of milk. The produc-
ton of milk depends largely on the
care that Is taken of the animal and
her natural strength. Experiments
have proven that the production of
milk and butter fat constantly in
creases until cow Is @ years of age,
when she should be at her prime as
a mixer. Heifers produce a somewhat
better quality of milk than older cows,
for the reason that as a cow becomes
older she takes on weight, ana the
amount Of fat In the milk Is CORE
spondingly decreased. A considerable
portion of food is used by young ami
mails for the formation OF body tissue,
and heifers, therefore, require more
nutriment for the production OF milk
than the Older cows. says the Journal
of Agriculture. After cows have reach
ed the. age of years the amount OF
food required against Increases In
less the animals digestive organs have
become impaired by improper feeding,
she should continue to produce milk
until IL years old, although natural
iy the supply will be considerably less
than In her younger days.

Potato scab.

Bulletin No. 141 OF the Maine Agrl.
cultural Experiment Station, now be-
ing sent out, discusses potato scab. a
subject of extreme Importance TO potato
growers
The real cause of scab Is minute
vegetable parasite which Is introduced
Into the soil largely by means of scabby
seed tubers Once in the soil, the scab
fungus may persist and be able to In
feet crop even after a considerable
period. Alkaline soil conditions favor,
while acid soils are unfayorable 10
seab. Stable manure. chip dirt, lime
and wood ashes may increase scab be-
cause they tend to make the soil aka
line.
Great care should be taken TO avoid
Injecting new land. The use OF scabby
seed Is folly rather than economy.
Only smooth tubers should be used for
planting, and these should be disln-
fected by formalin or corrosive subIi-
mate solution, IL the quantity TO be
treated Is small. II large amount OF
SEED IL to be treated formaldehyde gas
generated by the use OF potassium per
manganate Is recommended. The chem
icals required are not expensive and

Cut Worms.

Many remedies have been suggested
for destroying cut worms. but for a
large field the labor OF using prevent
ives or OF entrapping the worm is an
important item. They can be caught
by simply making holes about the
plants with sharp stick. into which
fall many that are unable to extricate
themselves. One part paris green to
fifty parts bran. with little molasses,
the whole mixed In water, and q tea
spoonful placed near each plant. gives
good results II the mother moth is
found and destroyed, of course the
source Of the whole trouble win be re.
moved. Til farmer should be very
careful to seek and kill this owlet moth.
As the moths will dash into a fame,
trap lanterns have been devised and
placed In the fields. and reports have
been favorable as to their adoption to
the capturing OF different species Of the
moths There Is one precautlon. how.
ever, which is pretty sure to insure a
good crop. Plant enough seed, 30 as
to allow the grubs In the ground TO
satisfy their hunger and yet leave one
or two stalks unmolested, for obserya-
ton shows that the worm frequently Sc
lects only one or two plants In each
hill. On the other hand. 1t frequently
happens that where the cut worms are
numerous two or three worms will be
found where each plant ID cut down.
Where a plant Is found cut OF (which

ture. The rapid-growing weeds crowd
the other plants and deprive them of
warmth, light and all other essentials
to growth. One advantage In the
usurpation OF the land by weeds is that
they provide excellent green manuriai
crops, but the farmer can better afford
to grow something else as green mate
rial than to permit single weed to
20 to seed. The vast amount of labor
bestowed upon weeds every year may
be valued at many millions of dollars,
and yet much Of this labor could be
avoided IL the weeds were killed when
young. 1t Is the postponement of weed
killing that allows many Of them to
produce seeds, as their rapid growth
before the farmer is aware Of the fact,
their eradication then requiring days
Instead Of hours. A crop Of potatoes.
onions, cabbage, beets or any other that
requires clean cultivation with the cul-
tiyator, harrow and hoe will greatly
assist in Graduating weeds, while green
nanurial crops that are plowed under
destroy them. Hungarian grass is a
crop that makes vigorous growth, and
1t may be moved several times during
the year, thus rendering excellent serv-
Ice in destroying weeds, but In the gar
den the hoe will be found the most eff.
ficient implement that can be employed.

The average farmer could add from
10 to rs per cent 70 his income from
vegetables and fruit If he was not too
proud to deliver them to customers
direct.
A man who tried it, says that the
best device for keeping crows away
from the newly-planted corn is to tie
ears of corn to poles placed at inter-
walls around the field. For some rea-
son after they came and looked at the
poles, they went away and stayed
away.
No plant will long survive IL the
leaves are cut off, hence the way to de-
stroy Canada thistles or other plants
that persist in growing Is to keep them
cut down. As fast as they appear
above the ground cut them, and, as
they will become weaker after each
cutting, there arrives time when they
can no longer grow.
The government is after the western
