The period for which the seeds OF
different plants maintain their vital.

some vegetables are worthless after
they are two years old, while the seeds
OF other plants improve with age until
a certain period. For instance, the
seeds Of artichokes are good until they
are three years old: asparagus. four

Holstein COWS are now in greater

They are good eaters; they stand ex-

duce more milk than any other breed:
they have teats SO formed that they
milk easier than other breeds, and
they give down to the end with little
stripping; the veal calves are large
