Method of Treating Seed Grain.

The method of treating the seed
grain is very simple, so simple In fact,
that there is no reason why it should
not be universally employed. A pint
of formaldehyde, which costs about
fifty cents, is poured into barrel con-
tanning some forty gallons of water.
The oat seeds, which are placed in
gunny sacks, are 1et down into this
barrel and allowed to soak in the
diluted chemical solution for some
minutes. They are then taken out
and dried, after which they are ready
for sowing without any further treat
ment. Thus the cost to the farmer
is scarcely more than a cent bushel;
which iG certainly very little when
compared with the destructiveness of
the blight and the great loss which it

Cabbage For Ponliry.

The best vegetable for feeding hens
is cabbage, for it is succulent and
contains the largest amount of ash
and protein of all vegetables.
We hang them up just so the hens
can pick them clean to the stump.
The greatest difficulty is in keeping
cabbages in good condition through
the winter. Few methods have been
successful with us. We have tried
piling in the barn and covering with
hay, but they sweat so easily that rot
soon begins. Burying in trench in
the garden was only partially a sue
cess. A cool cellar with the cabbage
on shelves or hung from the joist has
given us the best results. The late
fiat Dutch gives the most feed and re-
quires the least work to raise.-M.

In industrial lines there is little
evidence o. Improvement yet to be
seen. The iron trade is fairly
active, but pig iron is lower, and the
trade feeling as to the last half OF
the year is hardly as optimistic as in
the first six months. In cotton goods
the movement is still in the direc-
tion of curtailment, both at leading

A HIIII.iCnnp.

THE tefrors Of the deep" remark
ed the captain of a transatlantic
liner, were perhaps never more
thrillingly set forth than in the de
scription by a Young lady who last
year made her first trip abroad. She
kept a diary. very much like that
of Mark Twain, when for seven days
he recorded the fact that he got up,
washed and went to breakfast
There was, however. one import
ant exception. When she crossed the
Channel the experience was so trying
that she felt impelled to describe It.
I am firmly resolved to stay on
deck, she wrote. although the tenn
pest increases to such a frightful
hurricane that it is only with the
greatest difficulty that | can hold up
my parasol.' Brooklyn Life.
