SELECT HIGH VITALITY SEED
Possess Power of terminating Rapidly
and Producing Healthy and
Vigorous Plants.

(By W. w. ROBBINS, Colorado Agri
cultural College.)
Seeds with high vitality" possess
the power of terminating quickly and
of producing healthy, vigorous plants
Seeds with low vitality sprout slow
ly and produce weak and spindline
plants. The chief influences affecting
seed vitality are as follows:
1. Age-Vitalitv of seeds decrease
with age.
2. Maturity-Although seeds will
terminate when not fully mature, the
plants produced are weaker than
those from fully matured seeds.
3. Size-Large and heavy seed
have a, greater terminating power and
produce plants with more vigor than
small seeds.
a. Percentage-Seed should come
from plants whose pedigree is known
to be good. Strains that are "run ont
produce seeds of weak vitality.
5. Methods of Curing and Preser
vation-Seeds cured and stored in a
very moist atmosphere lose their vi
tally quite rapidly. Seeds should be
stored in a dry, cool place.
6. Variety-Similar storage condi
tons do not affect all sorts of seeds
the same. Vitality is a variety char
acter.

Scour and disinfect them to kill all

SEES TWILIGHT OF HORSE
With the Coming OF the Gas EngIn-
Writer Sees Passing Of Mans
Chief Friend.

Man, the horse. the COW and TIA
drg have been closely associated
through the entire progress of human
evolution, says the Portland Ore
g%onian. The pig has also been our
evolutionary brother. but he has nc'
enjoyed the same intimate affection
as the horse and dog. When Darwin
was visiting the COW regions OF the
Argentine he remarked some naked
gauchos crossing a river on horseback.
and reflected with his usual sagacity
that the two races had evidently been
adapted to each other by ages Of ST.
multaneous variation. But now man
parts company with his old companion
and slave. The horse is at last gain
ing his freedom through the good Of
ices Of the gas engine. but II he loses
his existence at the same time he may
not value the favor very highly.
Altogether lovely as the horse is on
the farm and the country road, he is
4 nuisance In town. He befouls the
streets. attracts flies and disseminates
disease. Now that he has become un-
economical in addition to his other dis
qualifications, sentence has been
passed upon him and he must go. The
dog ought to go to the country with
him. II Is a great pity that some
genius does not invent a machine that
will howl at night. snap at passers-by
and dig up the neighbors' flower beds
and thus take the place of the dog. II
such q thing should ever happen our
cities might become reasonably clean
and fairly healthy places to live in.

GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
carious-Much of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loan.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground, but poultry ucces is not met
on ground o poor to bear vegetation.
Low, heavy soils make poultry rails
ing precarious. The loss by disease
of many kinds in certain focks a be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such soil
is damp and cold the greater part of
the year.
The success of many a poultryman
is not always so much due to his feed
and care as the warm. dry sandy loan
the fowls live on
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look we'll to the ground
you buy. If it is not ideal poultry
ground in soil, drainage and location,
you can scarcely make it that except
at a cost that eats up the profits fast.

LATE PIONEERING PLANTS
BY MRS. JOHN FIELD.

Such late Towering plants as the hol-
tyhock and the perennial phlox need
= good deal of attention to keep them
looking well. On the former the flow
ers wither, but they cling persistently
to the stalk unless forcibly removed,
and give it a very untidy appearance.
By removing them we enable the
plant to look it's best, and the few flow.
ers of the last autumn days show to
the best possible advantage.
On the phlox great heads of seed
form, not SO very unsightly in them
selves, perhaps, but they rapidly ex.
haust the vitality of the plant, and the
foliage, which might be kept attractive
ly green until cold weather comes,
takes on a dingy color which is any
thing but pleasing.
Cut away the seed, and save the
plant this expenditure of its vital
force.
All dead and dying ANIMALS should
)e pulled up ard added to the compost
heap.
If any of them show signs of rust
burn them. If this is not done they
may carry the disease over winter.
Of course, suth precaution as this
ought to have been taken on the first
appearance of the infection, but better
late than never!
The first thing to do is to prepare
he place to which they are to be re-
moved. Have this ready for their re-
ception before anything else is done.
Then lift your slants, disturbing their
'oots as little is possible. Cut about
them with a sharp spade and work it
under them, below their roots. When
you have done this you will generally
be able to lift the mass of earth in

WORD ABOUT ANIMALS

If you want plenty of late blooms
from your ANIMALS, cut off. all the
seed pods and fading blossoms, loos-
en- the soil and with commercial fer
tilizer doctor them. If the weather
be dry, water we'll.
Prepare some sort of protection for
chrysanthemums, and other late
blooming flowers, so that when the
first frost appears. you may save the
flowers. Often we have a few cold
nights about the middle of this
month, and warm weather until Oc-
tober.
Don't forget to order a supply of
o bulbs for lawn planting. That
is, tuck a few dozen of them in the
lawn, and you and your family will
enjoy early blooms in unexpected
places.
Make rose cuttings about six
inches long; strip all the leaves of
but n and bury the cutting up to
the leaves. Turn a glass jar upon
them and draw the soil well up about
the jar. When winter approaches pro-
tect them with leaves or other lit
ter.

which they are growing without break
ing it apart.
If they are to be taken to a distant
part of the garden, it is well to use
the wheelbarrow. This not only makes
the work easier, but it does away with
the danger of crumbling the earth
away from the plants roots.
When they are in place, fill in about
them with fine soil, and make it firm.
Then water well.
Go over the shrubs and see if they
need pruning. If they do, now is a
good time to do the work. Thin out
their branches, if thick. Cut away all
wood which does not seem to be
needed, and remove all weak or dis.
eased portions of them.
If frost has killed the dahlia tops,
cut them off and put them in the rub
Dish heap. But do not dig their roots
until there is danger of their freezing.
Leave them as long as possible to
ripen.
If the ground freezes it will not be
safe to leave them longer. Choose a
bright, warm day, if possible, on which
to dig them.
Spread them out in the sunshine
without attempt to free them from the
soil adhering to them.
Cover well at night, and again ex.
pose them or the morrow. Continue to
do this until the soil becomes SO dry
that it can be shaken off.
The tops should be cut, as the plants
are dug, leaving stubs about three
inches long. Exposing the tubers to
the sun ripens them, and dissipates a
| good deal of moisture which is in
them when first dug.
If stored Immediately in the cellar.
excessive moisture often results in de.
cay. The same treatment should be
given to cannas and caladiums.
