Proper Dish WASHING.

The dirty dishes and plates should
be put into dish-tub of warm water
at once when taken from the table;
by this means half the trouble of
washing.up will be saved, as it will
prevent the grayy-juice, mustard, etc.,
from cooling and drying on the plates
and dishes. When you commence
washing them, add sufficient boiling
water to make it very hot, and with a
dishcloth wash on both sides, one at a
time. Then rinse in a pan of cold
water, or under "a running tap; this
makes them clean and bright looking,
and removes, any little grease that
might remain. Now put, them in a
rack, or on one side to drain.

INACCURATE SEED TESTING.
What the termination May and May
Not Show.

It is not at all certain that seed
when sown in the open field will show
the same amount of digestibility as
when sOWn in seed testing boxes or
between plates in the house and I'M
der ideal conditions of warmth and
moisture. A great many experiments
have been made to show what the
terminating power of various seeds is,
and it has been figured out that the
results would be the same in the field
as in the seed testers. 1t is inter-
esting, therefore, to note that CON-
parison of results do not show the
same percentage of seed terminating
under the two conditions.
In some comparative tests reported
81 samples of seed of oats and wheat
were tested in regular seed testers.
The lowest termination was 40 per
cent. and the highest SO per cent. A
like number of samples of the same
seed were planted in the open ground
at the same time, the samples being
the same grain as those planted in
the testers One of the oat samples
that had shown a termination of 81
per cent. when planted in the tester
gave only 81 per cent of termination
when planted in the open field. An
other lot gave in the tester a germi-
nation of 81 per cent, yet when sown
in the open field it gave only IS per
cent. This was most remarkable de-
cline
One of the samples of wheat seed
gave 63 per cent. of termination when
sown in the seed tester, but when
soWn in the field gave only per cent.
of termination. The poorest sample
for field work gave 81 per cent of ger
mination when soWn in the seed test
err, but in the field gave only 4 per
cent. of termination. This illustrates
the fact that something besides ger
mination tests need be looked for
when figuring on what seed will do.
Conditions in the field are much hard.

ed that it had been produced under
bad conditions and probably lacked
vitality. 1t had been injuriously af-
fected by early fall frosts. Most of
it had enough vitality to enable it
to sprout under the perfectly favor
able conditions found in sprouting
tray, but had not enough vitality to
enable it to sprout when buried in the
ground where the moisture supply
would be too great or too little, the
temperature too high or too low, and
where the air would not have free
access to the grain.
The termination tests may still be
considered valuable, says Farmers
Review, but they are by no means
conclusive, so long as they are con-
