Testing Seeds for the Farm.

The other day a rascal was found 20
have made small fortune by chopping
up palm leaf fans and selling the stuff
at dollar packet, containing pinch
or two of the precious dllst-which was
said to be the seed of a rare exotic
flower SO writes w. G. FitZ-Gerald in
the Technical World Magazine.
He advertised widely, and numbered
professional florists among his victims.
True, he disclaimed responsibility for
the terminating power of his seed"
but this Is common warning even on
the wares of reputable seedsmen, so
that the buyers planted, watched and
watered with pathetic zeal until at
length an angry lady laid the swindler
by the heels.
Now farm and flower seed OF the
highest quality is costly stuff. so min
ute is that Of the calceolaria that the
actual cost of producing the finest
strain exceeds ten times the weight Of
the seed in purest gold. Mignonette
seed, too is by no means cheap, yet that
of the begOnia is at least sixty times
dearer; and a liberal allowance for
50 packet Is measured in a tiny spoon
with an outside diameter of three-six-
teenths Of an inch. And yet in that
small spoonful there will be enough
seed to produce more than 100 stately
begonia plants.

hands of the government inspectors,
and an interesting series Of photo

kaYageN of the Tick

DR.. J. H. Wilson, chairman Of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Commission,
places the loss in the South as the re-
suit of the ravages of the fever tick at
SD, 100000 annually. This is considered
very conservative estimate, as the
loss has been placed at $4O,0OO,OOO by
other authorities.
These losses are not the result Of the
fever, for quarantined cattle do not
have it. The loss is caused by the raw
ages of the tick, which sucks the blood
of the animal and keeps it in an ema-
ciated condition, thereby preventing its
full maturity.
As evidence that the tick is capable
of reducing cattle to a point where
short pastures and cold rainy weather
during the winter season results in q
heavy mortality, he has presented fig.
ures showing that during 1904 and 1905
the death rate among cattle in the tick
infested area was S33 per cent, as COM
pared with 80 per cent above the ma
tional quarantine line notwithstanding
the fact that the cattle above the line
encounter severe winters.
Tick eradication seems a necessity IL
the Southern cattle grower expects to
receive the full reward of his labor,
and both the national and state govern
ments should come to the aid of the
cattlemen in their efforts to get rid OF
the pest.-San Antonio Express.

When the late Robert G. Ingersoll
was farmer boy in Wisconsi the
farm was not the place it is no He
has left a description of early rural
life as he recalled it:
"They used to haul wheat twenty
miles in wagons and sell it for 80 cents
q bushel. They would bring home
about 300 feet Of lumber, two punches
OF shingles, a barrel of salt and cook
stove that never would draw and never
did bake. In those blessed days the
people liven on corn and bacon. They
had poor houses. The rain held the
roofs in perfect contempt, and the snow
drifted joyfulIy ON the floors and beds.
They had no barns. The horses were
kept In rail pens surrounded with
straw. Long before spring the sides
would be eaten away and nothing
would be left but the roof. Every
thing was done in the hardest way.
Everything about the farm was disa-
greable. Nearly every farmers boy
took an oath that he would never Gull
tivate the soil. The moment they ar
rived at the age Of q they left the des-
olate and dreary farms and rushed to
the towns and cities"
Those were the days before farming
was a science. Now the bright youth
intended for agriculture takes at least
the short course at the university. He
learns things about soils and crops and
the selection and care Of stock that the
old time farmers never dreamed of. He
farms not by the sweat Of his brow,
but by the aid Of machinery The farm
is equipped with commodious buildings,
and the farmhouse is a comfortable
home, sometimes with pretensions to
architecture. 1t has a telephone and
it may be heated with hot water. There
is a rural delivery mail box not far
from the front door, and good roads IA
cilitate the easy transportation Of the
product of the farm to a not distant
railway station.

To Change Sheets on a Sickbed.

When changing sheets it is often not
advisable to move the patient, and in
order to prevent any risk of chill the
blankets should be left undisturbed
while the upper and lower sheets are
slowly withdrawn and the fresh ones
substituted.
To do this a good plan is that of
fastening the edge of the old sheet
to the clean one by means of three or
four safety pins, and the former, af-
ter having been untucked at the bot
tom and sides of the bed, drawn away
by degrees until the other takes its
place. When a draw Sheet is used
the patient should be made to lie on
the side and the original sheet rolled
up as far as if will go, the new one,
half of which is worked into a long
roll, being laid alongside.
f the patient is then made to turn
over to the other side of the bed the
old sheet can be easily removed and
the new one unfolded and laid fat.

The Tuscan Farmer.

The Tuscan peasant stands in the
peculiar position Of being neither q
proprietor nor a dependent, writes
Helen Zimmern in the Youths Com
panion. He is, instead, the partner
in an industry. According to this meth
cd of farming. which is called meZza-
dria, the proprietor of the land pays
all the taxes, advances all money re-
quired, furnishes capital for the pur-
chase of cattle and keeps in repair the
dwelling house. The peasant in rc-
turn works the fields, attends to the
live stock and to other home indus
tries. sells the products-in short, is
the absolute master of the land that is
contided to him. He works the soil
exactly as if it were his own, and then,
at stated intervals in the year, divides
the products and profits with the real
owner.
