SAVE THE BEST SEEDS
Utmost Care Is NJ 3ded for Sue
ceSSfuI Results.
Amateur Will Do Well Not to Raise
Several Varieties of Any Vegetable
as They Are Sure to Mix
and Deteriorate.
ON r. @. WEATHERsTONEO

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
No occupation says Burbank, re
Quires more accuracy, foresight and
SIKH than does scientific plant or
animal breeding" This specialist has
found out that it requires more than
one generation of plant life to estab-
lish cross that is permanent; that
prove a cross that is valuable or the
reverse.
In our own seed saving the utmost
care is necessary to bring the result
up to the standard We have all seen
two pieces of grain sown side by side,
with seemingly similar conditions.
The one was treated with extra seed,
thoroughly cleaned to remove all
weeds. The other had only fair seed,
sown as it was gathered from the field.
Perhaps it had been tested and proof
given that it would grow" And this
was deemed sufficient. But the har-
vest was on the side of the good seed.
If you have an extra good crop of
corn, the best ears, carefully selected,
both as to the number of ears on a
stalk and the size and shape of each
ear, will bring much more next spring
when sold by the bushel.
They must be carefully dried. If
put in the bin with the bulk of the
corn they may grow but the vitality
will be impaired, and they will not
bring the price that can be com
manded If properly cared for.
1t is the last end that is often the
losing one. After a thing is raised it
pays to care for it in the best possible
manner and get the greatest profit.
Some think that pumpkin seed are
pumpkin seed, no matter what pump
kin they came from. 1t is safe rule
that like begets like.
If you want to perpetuate your stock
and have something thai is really
worth saving always select the best
and the earliest for saving seed.
Select the smoothest tomatoes and
scrape the seed into a can of cold
water. Put 1t in some out-of-the-way
place and let remain several days or
until the seeds have sunk to the bot
tom of the dish. Pour off the water
and dry the seeds.
They will be found covered with a
dark fuZz and when dry may be kept
in paper packets, as supplied by the
scotsman. This Is much preferable to
the old fashion of keeping them on a
cloth.
Cabbage, beets, parsnips and other
biennials are best purchased direct
from the scotsman. If your time is
worth anything it is more profitable
to buy than to raise these.
If you have any left-overs in the
seed box, be sure to date each packet
as saved. then there will be no chance
of wondering which is best.
II among several tested varieties one
is decidedly the best, save seeds from
this only. The amateur will do we'll
not to try to raise several varieties of
any vegetable as they are sure to mix
and deteriorate In quality.
If your seed is not up to the
standard do not save it but buy next
season of some readable dealer. 1t is
money ahead in the end

INJURY DONE BY HEAD LOUISE
Insects Are Very Destructive TO Lit
tie Chicks and Must Be Controlled
or Exterminated.


(By A. C SMITH. Professor of Poultry
Husbandry, Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
The head louise attacks young
chicks generally before they are feath-
cred out, and is first found on the
head with its claws or feeders sunk
into the skin of the head As they
become more numerous, they attack
the throat and neck as well. The rem
edy is simple, but it takes little time
Each chick must have its head
creased with lard, cottonseed oil or
olive oil. You will have to look close
ly to see these insects They are
very destructive to chickens, and
must be controlled or exterminated If
the chick is to be healthy.

CHARITY

Charity begins at home, and often
ends there. 1t is usually divided into
two kinds, namely, public and private.
Public charity consists of a salaried Of
fee force and subscription list. Pri.
vate charity is what we give when we
don't know what to do with the sur
plus.
There is also a species of charity
known as genuine. Inasmuch, how
ever, as it is never advertised in the
newspapers. scarcely anything Ii;

The climbing Bar of Silver.
The bar of silver slides up or down
cord, responding to the commands
of the magician Gig. y. Fig. shows
the construction of the bar. Take a
4,ipch piece of small mailing-tube
are cut a wooden plug for each end
"a, Fig. 81. Cut the cord g inches
long, tie a faucy-work ring to one
hole in the center of one end plug;
cut cord c IL inches long, slip one
end through a hole pierced through
the side of the tube, knot that end
outside of the tube, and slip the other
end through the ring on cord B and
then through the hole in the other
end plug. Fasten the plugs in the
tube ends with glue or tacks, and
then cover the tube, side and ends
with tin-foil. By examining Fig.
you will see that it is only necessary
to pull the ends of both cords to
make the bar climb. and to slacken
your hold upon them to make the bar
slide down In exhibiting this trick,
first pull on cord G. then on cord B,
to show the audience that the cord
slides through the tube freely.
The Marked Coin Trick.
The boy magician borrows a coin

table and finds the coin inside. of the

boxes He passes the coin among
the audience to show that 1t is the
same marked coin given to him. Here
is the explanation of the trick. A slot
is cut through the side of the can in
to which the coin is dropped, Just
above the tin bottom Gig. 81, and as
soon as the coif has been dropped
within, and the covered can shaken
to show the audience that the coin
is still there. the can is tipped so
that the coin slides through the slot
