When the rape is about six inches
high, which will be in six to eight,
weeks, hogs may be turned in; the
rape, barley and oats should furnish
abundant pasture for about twenty
five shotes per acre. In the meantime
timothy and clovers are growing to
supplant the maturing barley and
oats, and, with the rape, will furnish
a well-balanced ration until covered

How Il i, to TEST Garden seed,

To avoid poor stands. seeds should
be tested before planting. This is a
very simple. operation and requires
but few minutes. There are several
simple methods Of testing seeds, prob
ably most Of which will answer the
purpose. NC Il
One of the simplest and quickest
ways is to test between, plotting pa.
per. 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 seeds
between two pieces Of blotting paper
from four to six inches square and
place in a common china plate and
turn another plate bottom side UP
over the first. II pasteboard plates
can be had they are better. especially
IT a large number Of samples are to
be tested. T

Eggs may differ materially in color
and yet not differ much in nutriment.
Again, they may differ largely In nu.
triment. when, for instance, hens are
neglected or poorly fed or when they
eat filth, damaged grain or tainted
meat. The crop and gizzard Of hen
cannot transform impure food into

Hard and soft Pencils.

What makes a pencil hard or soft?
Graphite, which composes the writ
ing crayon in the pencil. Is, as every
body knows, so soft that it will not
scratch the most highly polished sur
face Of FURNISHED gold. Yet there are
pencils so hard that they actually
scratch the paper. A pencil is hard
or soft in proportion to the amount
of clay added to the graphite. A
pencil cannot be composed wholly Of
graphite, for the reason that it would
fall into e powder. Hence the use of
clay as binding element
