HORTICULTURE.
Test Your Garden Seeds.

Very often the cause of
crop failure can be attributed to
"a poor stand. With the present
high cost OF living and the high
prices of land we cannot afford
to let soil lie idle, and that is
just what some of it does when
there is poor stand of any crop
on it. No matter how good the
soil, the seed, the season, or the
cultivation, if there is a poor
stand, the yield is decreased. A
poor stand requires about as
much time, work and expense IN
cultivation as a good one
This is true in gardening as
we'll as in other lines of crop
growing.
An important factor in the
cause of poor stands is poor seed.
Seed may have its vitality or
terminating power impaired from
Il variety of causes, such as lack
of maturity, improper curing, or
has spent itself terminating be-
fore it is planted, or perhaps it
is too cold.
To avoid poor stands, seeds
should be tested before planting.
This is very simple operation
and requires but few minutes.
There are several simple methods
of testing seeds, probably most
of which will answer the pur-
pose.
One of the simplest and quick
est ways is to test between blot
ting paper. First, count out 100
seeds of the kind to be tested,
taking them just as they come
and not picking out the best
looking ones. Scatter the seed
between two pieces of blotting
paper from to 6 inches square
and place in a common. China
plate and turn another plate bot
tom side up over the first. If
pasteboard plates can be had they
are better, especially if a large
number of samples is to be test
ed.
In this ease all the plates con
tanning samples of seed, can be
stacked up, each plate being
placed right side up upon the one
beneath. This makes each plate
a cover for the one beneath il
and holds the blotting paper down
closely to the seeds, preventing
too rapid drying out.
The seeds should be placed in
the living room to secure "A tenn
perature favorable to termination
Car should be taken that the
seeds are not kept too wet, as
termination takes place more rap
idly under barely wet conditions
Strength of termination should

A matter Of this kind is not a question for millionares nor for

Of the city, making a festival at once spectacular and patriotic in

[ %E the probable exception Of New York, Jersey City

2I<SNT Superlatives are dangerous even in the mouth
CN-1XO Of q scholar IN office. Jersey City may have a
very inadequate system Of government without
having the worst in the country. OF New York, it is quite certain
tho system is not dstresingly bad. In fact, it is questionable
whether a better system Of administering the affairs of so large and
60 complex a community could be devised and fitted to the present
stage Of civilization.
Municipal evils and shortcomings in the city ere the results
of defective administration, rather than a defect in the system.
Where the officials are efficient, the system is all right.
It is regrettable that a man Of Gov. Wilson's eminence gives
his eanction to the present craze for altering established systems
Of government. 1t is even more regrettable that in f~aultGndng
he permits himself to cay the high-sounding thing rather than
the exact thing. Why rail at New York for the purpose Of con-
demning Jersey City?

Emerson, referring to the great architects of Christian Rome.
says of them: "They bulded wiser than they knew. The conscious
stone to beauty grew" The saying, though poetic in form, ex-
presses a literal truth. A great structure grows under the hands Of
those that work in it. Like a poem or a romance long medtated,
it has a power of expanding and exalting the mind Of him that di.
reefs it.. The vast cathedral OF st. Peter as it stands at Rome
was not so designed at first 1t grew from the mind of Bsmante to
that of Raphael and finally to that Of Angelo, augmenting in dimen-
sons and in grandeur with each successive step.
1t is not strange, then, that the concept to-day Of the building
cathedral at Morningside should be greater than that with which
the work began. That is the law of growth that marks everything
into which the human soul puts its genius and its life. It is the
way in which great things get themselves greatly done.

when The arrival OF a single ship with cholera cases aboard would
have filled half the people in the country with panic. New York
would have been frightened at the ship, and the interior cities would
have been frightened at New York. Thousands would have made
ready to leave town, hotels would be left empty by lack of summer
guests, and petitions would have been sent to the churches to set
apart a day for fasting and prayer.
That old terror has been banshed from the public mind. A
feeling of confidence in the quarantine and in medical science has
taken its place. The people 60 about their business undisturbed
