Swine Breeding.

A swine breeder of experience and
good judgment says: THE best show
pig may come from the smallest sow
in the herd. but it is not safe, as a
rule, to select breeders from that class.
We want the most size in the short
est time, and we can safely forego a
little Of the fattentng tendency, pro-
vided we secure in the prospective
breeder ranginess and a tendency to
growth. I don't care how good the in

10 Simplify Sugar Beet Culture.
The Department of Agriculture is
experimenting with a view to obtain
Ing a single germ beet seed. Last
years investigations were successful
IN increasing the percentage of the
single germ seed to SO per cent, as
compared to 26 per cent for the year
previous. By methods of selection
from single-seed plants this percent
age may be still further increased.
The ultimate establishment of a sin
gle germ beet will revolutionize sugar
beet growing, since the several sprouts
sent up by the ordinary seed, all OF
which must be carefully removed by
hand, constitutes the most difficult
problem in beet raising.

Eighteenth Century.
AS far back as 1914 the American
public were led to believe that the
Atlantic had been crossed IN a bali

New York Sun published a detailed
account Of an aerial voyage from Llv-
erpool 70 Charleston. which purported
to have been accomplished BY "the
steering balloon Victoria IN period Of
seventy-hve hours from land 20 land"
Five columns were devoted to the de-
scripuon Of the journey and to sci
entlic account OF the balloon, Of
which a woodeut was given, and an
air Of verisimilfude was added By
list OF eight passengers, one Of the
names mentioned being that Of Harri-
son Ainsworth. who was then az the
