SELECTING SEED C0HS.
A groat many farmers who regard
themselves as quito careful tn the bo
leetionof seed content themselves with
mnkiug the selection nt husking time
or from the crib, being guiJod by the
appearance of the car. This is not
sufficient, however, to secure the best
results. Professor II. J. Waters, Dean
of the Missouri Agricultural College,
narrates a direct experiment on this
point. Tho field was gone through
and fine cars were selected from the
large, thrifty stalks having au abun
dant leal growth. Another lot of ears,
equal in size, was gathered from stalks
smaller and less thrifty. After the
seed had been gathered, thn one lot
could not be distinguished from tho
other so far as tho Rppearance of the
ears went. The only difference was in
the kind of stalk that produced the
enrs. A field was planted with these
two lots of seed. All through the sea
eon that portiou which had been grown
from seed taken from tho thrifty stalks
could be distinguished from the nlant-
ing tnado from the seed taken from
the. less thrifty stalks. At harvest
time the difference in favor of the seed
from the large, thrifty stalks with
plenty of leaf growth was seven bnehels
per acre, nnd Professor Waters thinks
that if this process of seloction was
carried on for a series of years a vari
ety of ooru could be considerably im
proved on the one hand, or almost en
tirely run out on the other. It fnl.
lows, therefore, that the selection of
seed ears from tho same crib, being
guuieu uy size ana general appearance
of the ear simply, is not suflloient. and
that it is quite as important to know
the kind of stalk that produced the
seed ear as it is to know that the ear
iteelf has the size, form, etc., which
suit the purposes of the farmer.

NO MISTAKE IN PLANTING FRUIT TREES)
The fact is wo expect too much from
old orchards. They have already paid
for themselves, many times over, and
have outlived their usefulness. Still
they are permitted to occupy valuable
ground, and besides yielding nothing,
are au eyesore, greatly detraotiug
from the natural beauty of a place.
During the wiutcr months these unin
teresting and unprofitable objeots
should be removed and cut up into
firewood. In spring, new orchards
should bo planted on well-prepared
ground, under-drained and subsoiled.
Notwithstanding tho prevailing low
priocs, no mistake can be made in
planting fruit trees. Tho rich lands
which are at our disposal, and the re
markably favorable climate which we
are blessed with should be taken aJ
vnutoge of. There is a question ns to
the advisability of spending labor and
money on somo kiuds of crops, but
the fruit-grower can, if he will, con
tinue to make nn honest and good liv
ing at this pursuit for years to come.
The trees we plant live to bless the
world and enrieh the inheritance of
our children leug after we are laid
beneath them ; and with the return of
each successive seusou, to shed their
fragrance on the nir ond crowa with
golden fruits the harvest of the year.
I huve the pleasure and gratification
of stating that the insect peats and
fungous dieeas-es which a few years
oyo threatened the entire destruction
of orchards ami vineyards, have been
so controlled by remedies and pre
ventatives that no great injury need
be feared in tho future, so long as or
dinary care and diligence are exer
cised by the orchardist. It is true
that the Leneticiul effects resultiog
from spraying cannot be fully esti
mated until the treatment ismore gen
eral, yet enough has been learned to
satisfy the iiiott incredulous that
spraying is a bueccs?, if not nn abso
lute necessity. Through the ellbrts
of the Department of Agriculture
great progress his been made iu Cali
fornia iu checking tho ravages of in
jurious insects by introducing para
sites, and the result is so satisfactory
that the fruit-growers there believe it
to be possible to overcome every in
sect pest by means of its uutural para
site. President W. C. Parry, before
the Wetttru New York Horticultural
Society.
WINTER ritOTECIION OF LIVE BTCOCK.
A common wiutcr sight is a herd of
cattlo exposed to severest kind of
weather browsing iu cornfields or
ttandiDg humped up iu chilling
winds.
Pood is fuel to the animal body. It
requires more Iu-1 to keep up steam
iu a boiler, Villon the weather is in
tensely coUl, than it does wheu it is
iuiKI. In luo tamo manner, other
things being equal, it req."rei more
food to sustain an Animal freely ox
posed to the chilling blasts of win
tor, than it does for one given protec
tion. In experiments conduoted at the In
diana Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, milch oowa exposed to all sorts
of weather in winter, but provided
with night shelter, made a vory un
favorable showing ns compnrod" with
those givcu tho shelter of tho stable,
exoepting for a brief airing when tho
woathcr was suitable. The exposed
cows ate tho most food, lost slightly
weight and also iu milk yiold. The
sheltered ones gained in weight and
otlierwiso mado a better showing than
the exposed lot.
At the Knusns Experiment Station
hogs kept in conditions of winter ex
posure did not product) cork so econo
mically ns those given reasonable
shelter, although the same kind of
food was fed to each lot In ronort.-
ing the feeding experiments with
steers at tho same station. Profossor
Georgoeon says that steers to give the
best returns when beinor fed for boef
should be provided with shelter.
arm, low, open shods in the feed lot
give comfortahlo shelter to stocrs.
hue live stock should be 1 roteeted
from the inolemency of tho weather,
it is important that the stable should
be well ventilated and not too warm.
Disease propagates easiest whore tho
air is stagnant and impure, hence
special effort should be made to keop
the stable air pure. Without doubt,
tuberculosis is more prevalent among
cattle olosely confined in stables where
the ventilation is bad than it is where
the air is good. Live stock should
certainly be allowed outdoor exoroise
when the weathet is mild and oom-
fortable, but if it snows or rains and
the air is chilling, the animals should
be given stable protection.
It is also important that the stable
should not be too warm iu winter. A
temperature of 40 dogroes is a vcrv
satisfactory one. Wheu it is as high
as 60 degrees in the barn, stock turned
from this into a freezing atmosphere
to water are very opt to be severely
chilled nnd toke cold. When the
stable 19 at 40 dogreos animals are not
so easily chilled when turned from the
Btable. Every stable should have a
thermometer to guide one in keoping
the temperature of the room ns uni
form as possible. O. S. Plumb, Direc
tor of the Indiana Experiment Station.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Ho who would enjoy tho fruit must
plant the tree.
Berries cannot be grown and mar
keted as easily as wheat, oorn and
potatoes.
The growers of berries fqr market
should realize that ordinary farm
methods are not sufficient.
Berry growing, like market garden
ing, requires the greatest concentra
tion of good soil, labor and thought.
The way to get peaohes is to plant
peach pits and keep planting. Seed
ling poaches can be grown in sheltered
places on almost any farm.
Every farmer who has an orchard of
any size should also own a small hand
press. It will save a trip to tho large
press quite frequently, save cash and
enable tho owner to work up the crop
nt odd times.
Straining the cream just before
churning should be regarded ns a no
cessary precaution, for if there is any
dirt iu cream it will become incorpor
ated with the butter instead of passing
off in the buttermilk.
Cows must have exercise in winter.
The habit of keeping milch cows tiod
up all the time, even watering them
iu their stalls, together with bad air
and laok of sunshine, is responsible
for muoh tuberculosis.
More bees are being lost on aooount
of bad food, or none at all, than from
all other causes combined, especially
in winter; tor there is no factor so
important as the matter of food, and
it is ono often neglected.
A little attention each year greatly
improves the appoarance of tho or
chard, and the work can be done with
a greater economy in this way than by
permitting it to accumulate for several
years and then doing it all at once.
At a dairy in Berlin, famous for tho
purity of its milk, the milk is strained
through a wire sieve with a cloth, on
which rests a deep layer of fine sand.
Before tho sieve is again used, the
sund is put in a hot oven to destroy
any possible germs.
What farmers are looking for to-day
is something that will yield an income
outside of their farms. Boos would
make quite an addition to the income
of the larmer, and this would be re
ceived from what is going to waste
every year.
For nursery stock and fruit trees on
gjod luud, wood ashes have been
found much superior to barnyard ma
nure. An orouardiBt scattered a largo
amount of ashes over a piece of laud
inauy years ago, and it still retains the
vigor imparted.
A little common soda should be
added to the skim milk before feeding
the calves. It is claimed that soda
prevents the formation of the rubber
like curd iu the stomach that is so of
ten found on examination of calves
that havo died of the dreaded calf dis
ease. A possible way to test butter is to
get a clean piece of white paper,
smear it with tho suspected article and
set it on tire. If the butter is good,
tho smell of the burning wilt be de
cidedly pleasant ; but it thero is arti
ficial animal fat iu the composition,
there is no mistake iu the tullowy
odor.
It is always advisublo to make a
change of feed occasionally for the
cow iu winter. It givoj her increased
appetite. Jf you feed twice a day,
btop it ; but if you house your cows
on stormy days, iu place of letting
them ruu iu a stulk field, then give
something to eat at uoon. Above all
be regular iu fi liug.

KFFKCTS Of ALCOHOL,

means of Its cumulative action, ns strikingly

Bresomeof thecons-'ipienees of nn Immode
rate drinking of alcoholic stimulants. Pro
fessor Dr. Bollinger, ot Munich, has In the
Sam" manner proved the prevalence of vari
ous diseases of a dellnlto nature of tho In
ternal organs caused by the universal drink
ing of beer. A normal heart or kidney is
the exception only In Munich. This state of
affairs also Injures tho progeny in a most
serious manner. Pr. Pemme found that of
the Children of noil.drinlfnm fiphtv-two nor
cent, weresound, while of those of drinkers
only wveoteen per cent, were sounl. Al
though largo quantities of beverage were
drunk formerly, still onlyin the last century,
and more especially ouly In the last decades,
In which tho brewer's art was perfect, has
drinking become universal. It na.i spread
everywhere and lnereasod to a frightful,
most alarming extent. It has been Intro
duced even Into country communities, and
the only Inevitable consequence will be the
thorough degeneration ot thehumnn rnee, if
the evil Is not checked before It Is too late.
Although It is contended that beer contains
loss alcohol than either wine or whisky, It Is
nevertheless as Injurious ns either of them,
while Its vauuted nutritive vaiuo stands in
no proportion to its price. When a man is
required to perform the greatest feats ot cor
poreal exertions In battle, sport, explora
tions, etc., the baneful effect of alcohol Is
taost strikingly shown. In spite of the mar
velous advantages ot our present age a great
retrogression In nn ethical sense Is undeni
able, the chief cause of which is principally
due to the Increase ot drunkenness, because
the beer saloon has become tho center and
focus ot social life.

James A. Garfield is tho skeleton,
brain aud stuffed head, which are now
preserved among othor ghastly relios
in tho Array Medical Museum at tho
city of Washington, The skeleton was
cleaned by the museum workmen im
mediately after the execution, aud
has since been kopt in a glass oaso in
an out-of-the-way comer of the great
National repository of ghastly curios.
Each bone is carefully lettered with
indelible ink, probably as a means of
identification should the skeleton or u
portion of it be stolen.
The brain is kept In a large glass pir
of aloobjd, and, like the skeleton, its
presence in the building is known to
but few outside of tha employes.
The most grewsome memouto of tho
great tragedy of 1881 kept by the mil

of Onitenu. Beforo putting tho body
in the boiler for the purpose of re
moving the flesh from the the bones,
the head was cut off and the skull de
nuded of its skin and flesh. After this
had been done, the skin was sowed tip
and stuffed, so that it would look as
lifelike as possible, and then pioklod
in alcohol.
Aftor this ghoulish work had all
been completed the flesh was era

"A Poor "our.
f Moral : You can't pet the best.out of anything, unless
the best i in it; and the best has to be put in before it
can lo taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those
s.irs.ip.irill.is with a big "best" on the bottle. "Tell us
what's juit in you and we'll decide for ourselves about
the best." That's fair. But these modest sarsaparillas
say: "Oh I wo can't tell. It's a secret. Have faith in
the label." . . . Stop I There's one exception ; one sar
saparilla that has no secret to bide. It's Ayer's. If you
want t know what pocs into Ayer's Sarsaparilla, ask
your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can
satisfy yourself that you get the best f the sars?p?.rilU
