MONEY IN SEED GROWING.
Enormous Increase In Quantity Pro-
duced For Commercial Purposes.

Enormous Increase In Quantity Pro-
duced For Commercial Purposes.
According to Joseph A. Arnold of
the United States department Of agri-
culture, there is profit in raising high
grade seed. Seed crops of sweet corn,
garden peas and beans of good quality
are in ever increasing demand, and
the quantity needed yearly has be-
come so large that the scotsman is
obliged to have the major portion of
his stock grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there has
been an enormous increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for COM
mercial purposes. This has been due
in large measure to the development
Of seed growing and handling as a
business. There are now nearly a
thousand seed firms doing business in
the United States. One Of the largest
Of these uses buildings with an aggre-
gate floor space of more than sixteen
acres. This space is much larger than
was occupied by the entire seed trade
of the country only fifty years ago.
The quality also has vastly improved.
One of the most encouraging devel-
opments in the growing Of garden veg
etables is the increasing recognition of
the practical importance Of using pure
and uniform stocks of seed whose va
rietal characteristics adapt them to
distinct local conditions and market
requirements. Another consideration
is the fact that the growing of seed
crops Of these vegetables can be I'M
dertaken without any radical change
in farm practice or material increase
in farm equipment. These conditions
make this industry well worth the at
tention Of farmers who are located
where soil and climatic conditions are
favorable for the best development of
such seeds.
However. the raising of these vege-
tables for seed crops is not recon-
mended for all circumstances even
when soil and climate are suitable.
The farmer who contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
to consider thoroughly the many ele-
ments which enter into profits. Seeds
men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed ut veg low prices,
even lower than that at which grain
of the species can be sold on the mar
ket Such a condition might be due to
any of several causes, but usually
rests on an oversupply or a demand
for an inferior product. The general
tendency now. however. is decidedly
in the other direction. and both seed
dealers and seed growers can do much
by cooperation to further this tend

lever is ten feet long and has a hole
bored one-fourth of its length from
one end, or two and one-half feet from
the end. In the shorter end Is an
other hole in which to fasten a hook
for the scales. Put together with a
large bolt, first putting on one five
foot leg, then the lever, the six foot
leg and last the other five foot leg.
The holes in the outside legs should be
one size larger than those in the lever
and longer leg in order that they may
be spread apart at the bottom, so that
they will not stand vertical.
When it is desired to weigh or lift
an object pull the lever A B to the po-
sition of G d, fasten the article on the
hook and with rope fastened to the
long end of the lever pull it down and
hook under the stob, as shown in the
illustration.

Herewith is given an illustration Of
a device for weighing cotton, beef,

the farmer may want to weigh. This

a man who finds it very handy on the

That most delightful of all pa
trfotic orders, the Daughters of the
American Revolution" were in an
nual session here last week, and some
1900 members, coming from every
part of the union, gave unwonted
zest and spirit to the life 7of the
national capital Their beautiful
building here is a credit to the or
der. Because of the frequent DIS
plays of enthusiasm and high tenn
per that attend these meetings, some
ir1everent person has renamed the
order the Daughters of the Annual

sort is not to be smiled at. Yet, we
are prone to confess that if the fight
ing spirit exhibited by these COCOA
women in contests arising amon5
themselves within the order is an
inherited trait from the fathers one
need not be at all surprised that
the British were licked to flnlSh'
hut rather that Yorktown was not
reached until after seven years OF
hard fighting. The rankest partl-
sans | think | ever saw were those
ladies who lined up on opposing
sides in the fight between Mrs. Scott
and Mrs. Story, candidates for the
head of the order. The former has
twice beaten the latter for this Of
fice-a year ago by only eight ma
iority. but this time by 14S. But
this result was not accomplished IN
til after one good woman had de-
nounced another, who had bolted
her instructions in casting her ballot

man sufferage is not being at an

HAD FORTUNE IN FURS.
Man and Woman Arrested AT LOUIS

Found.

Louisville, KY, April 29.-Furs
valued at from $4,000 to $4,000
were found in five trunks last night
following the arrest here of man
and woman giving the names of Mr..

we're found in the house occupied by
the two.
Aside from the belief that the furs
are stolen property detectives are at
loss to account for them. Neither
the man nor woman would explain
how the furs came into their posses
sion. Detectives also assert they
found skeleton KEYS in Bradley's

The Senate has not yet been able
to organize its committees, and the
session will be a month old by the
time that is accomplished. The DEM
ocratic factions have not much trou-
BILE on this account, but what the
republicans are suffering is perhaps
not fairly described by so mild
term. The twelve insurgent repuo-
licau Senators are acting together as
a solid body and form one-fourth OF
the republican strength in the Sen
ate. They have the balance OF pow
er between the democrats and regu-
lar republicans, and may often WELD
it on important occasions. TO pre-
vent an organization of the commit
tees that would permit such results
has caused the quarrel between these
republican factions that is so delay
