Better Sied ijefit Shfcejl 3u tVery Farm Farmer's Workahon Arti- choke Stock Note arid HouseHol'l1. ttinU. Seed Development. . "Improvemctll" la the watchword of the day. In every department of hu man enterprise the wheels of progress are moving forward, except among farmers only, in the great matter of improving the seed for farm crops. In this there has heen a standstill in re gard to that most important and val uable farm crop cot'n. The practice has been to go to tho ordinary field and take seed from hills with two or three stalk,', s-ty-J the inurnal bf iigr'iculturc. i'his at icast is making no effort to improve the seed. A portion of best seed should be taken it can be had by selecting from that on hand, or by pur chaseand planted in the best soil ob tainable, prepared in the best manner by deep and thorough plowing; make narrow furrows so as to break up the furrow, mixing the tor) atut bottom sollS completely. After plowing, har row until made perfectly fine; plant as early as the ground is dry enough after being thawed out; or, where the soil docs not freeze to any extent, the planting should be done as early as is practicable. The depth of planting may vary, to suit different soils. A heavy soil w ill ndt, generally, perniit as deep planting as a light soil, but three to five inches niay be the linllt .soils. As soon as the sprouts st from the ground run a cultivator close to the rdw, turnihg the soil slightly; harrow this down, making smooth and line, and as soon as the corn is through the ground so that the rows may be seen, cultivation should be com menced. The rows should be made the usual width, but the hills should be about three feet apart, and but one stalk allowed to the hill. This will give each stalk a chance to grow to the greatest perfection possible, making it capable of producing the largest and best ear, with the largest, deepest and best grain. The best seed planted in the best soil with single stalks in a place, with wide spaces, will give a good chance to make the best growth; and superior .seed may be expected, which, in turn, will produce the best crop. Cultiva tion should be continued at least once a week twice a week would be still better until the grains of the ear be gin to harden. If cultivation ceases sooner than this the soil is liable to dry out, and the moisture of plant food arising out of the earth by capillars- action will break through the dry ground and escape into the air; but if the soil is kept mellow In cultivation, the fertility and moisture coining up will be held at the roots by the mel low surface, until they are appropri ated by the plants, and the greatest possible growth will be produced. The general practice of attempting to cultivate a greater amount of land than can well be done, leaves little or no time to employ methods of im provement, and the result is low yields of all farm crops and a deple tion of soil. Shallow plowing and poor cultivation of crops go baud iu hand with the attempt to pnt more acres into cultivation than can be properly attended. It has been demonstrated that the soil is capable of producing several times as much as the average yields; ".i."i bushels of corn have been grown on one acre: 1,000 bushels of potatoes on one acre; 135 bushels of oats, and SO bushels of wheat on single acre lots; while the average of these crops from 1S70 to ls'0 has been as follows: Wheat. 12 bushels per acre; oats, 20 bushels; corn, 23 bushels: potatoes, 82 bushels. The large yields referred to were obtained by extra care in cultivation, stimulated by the offer of large prizes. Would it not be better to adopt meth ods of cultivation that would Tiring the best results possible, rather than to try to cultivate the largest acreage? If one-half the land in cultivation is capable of producing as much as is now obtained from tiic whole amount now under cultivation, would it not bo wise to adopt such methods as would bring out the full capacity of the soil? It is impossible to produce the best crops from inferior seed. The first work is to improve the seed of all farm crops, and then follows improved methods in all departments of farm work. Every farmer, large or small, can, with ver little labor, make great improvements on seed for all crops. The true policy is to make the most from a given amount of land, but this cannot be carried out without an effort to improve the seed. A Few on Kvery Farm. It must be largely due to the warn ings sounded by the agricultural press that there has not been in the last two years another unprofitable craze in the sheep business. Such excitemen ts had become periodical and almost as easily foretold as eclipses of the sun. and prices of mutton and wool aeemed to have but little effect on them. When the farmers of any large section became discouraged with dairying or beef raising they would listen to the reports of big profits from sheep and forthwith they would sell other stock for what they could get aud buy sheep at the price fixed by scarcity. Then when nearly every man was stocked with sheep and had his building ar ranged for them, the few who kept their cows would be getting good prices for butter and veal and some who were not prospering with sheep would want to cnange and offer their Hock for sale and then every man who has sheep seems to be afraid he cannot sell them and the fear increases the de sire whether there is any other reason for selling or not and another change is made with an unfavorable discrepancy in nrices. A rush after sheen was in I season a year ago, and it is very for- j Innritolli'nt. tidvi.'o n- .vnr.rinnr. ni. both prevailed to so shape the action of farmers that people who have bought sheep knew what the3 wanted of them and there has been no such wild rush as was looked for. Good sheep well cared for will pay their way on almost any farm that is not near enough tocity to get the bene iit of a city market, and men should not go with a rush CNpecting that all can do as well as a lew nave at any ( business. It is well enough for men who have special faculties to follow special farming, but on any common farm a few sheep can ba made to profitably occupy a place that will always be vacant without them. Fresh mutton for the family when the weather is too warm to kill beef or pork, and wool and Jambs to sell are not small considerations Manchester Union Artichoke C alt lire. A writer for an' exchange wonders how ui&uy of our reader- have tried feeding artichoke, espesriiillj- to hogs, 7 as an autumn winter and spring food? Since he adopted this" system he has hev'ef had hpt chojeraf ori his farm nor 'so frequently? had entp'ty cifr'ri crib's lie says: ArlichoTjis can be plante'd eitlieyin srlrW or.rt'ntujan.

Autumn is rather $c best time fo p'tapt as they will get the benefit oi ail cfartj- sfriiig growth, commencing to grow the last of March when the weather is favorable. They are planted the same way and require about tho same culture as the potato Ulc first year. During the second year they need no cultivation as there are always enough tubers left in the ground to produce the next crop. If there are thin places, they carl be replanted. In adtuirin aftet the first planting t turn tfy lidpS id and let thcrn help them selves, when the frost had killed the stalks. Here they will fatten with only a little corn. Here I winter my broad sows and autumn pigs also with a little corn. In spring I close up the fence and let the artichokes grow again. I keep two lots, one for autumn and winter use, and one for spring. tThey ard alsd .Mod for feeding cows, being rich and succulent ami increas ing the flow of milk. Spring calves winter nicely on them, and colts eat them equally as well as corn. I culti- vate the White Jerusalem variety. In good soil they will sometimes yield one thousand bushels per acre. They aro ver- prolific and fill the ground from row to row. I dig and pit a large quantity for ifiy stock ihinng winter. and when the jn-ound is frozen fee'd them to my hogs. I think if our farmers would trr thisnlan df fecdins?. thev would never szo back to the old wav of feeding corn alone. The Farmer's Workxlinp. "Every man to his own trade." is a motto good enough in its place, but it has often occurred to us that if any man should be "Jaek-of-alltrades"' it is the farmer. If living at any dis tance from town, as is generally the case, it is quite inconvenient as well as 1 a great- loss 01 nine 10 oe eoinpeueti 10 go to the mechanic for every little job. and then pay the extravagant prices for what frequently proves to be poor work. The best of mechanics soon find em ployment in the larger towns and cities, and only inferior workmen re main to make their living from the odd jobs afforded in every pominuuity. It must not be understood that every farmer is advised to do all his owr. odd jobs of repairing, for many are so situated as to better afford to emplo another even at good pay. Othei again, appear altogether unable to ut derstand the use of tools so as to en able them to ascomplish even the smallest amount of mechanical exe cution. But for the farmer who possesses ordinary mechanical skill, it becomes almost a necessity to have near at hand a fair assortment of tools, and if possible, a suitable building iu which to keep the tools and perforin the work. He can thus provide work for many a day of inclement weather, l which, if not for this provision, he j would probably devote to idleness ' When one or more hands are cm- ployed they may be continued at prof itable employment in repairing im plements, grinding the tools, oiling the harness and making conveniences for the house, barn and farm. There pairs woultl cost money if taken to the mechanic, and either the farmer or the men employed would lose the da3-'s wages. As for the conveniences they would either not be had, or they, too, would cost an outlay of money or pro duce. Industrial American stock Noti. It does not pay to half starve cattle: if they arc made profitable they must be fed well. One advantage with improved stock is the increased power of digestion and assimilation. If the cattle have their hair rubbed oft showing bare patches of skin rub on a little sulphur and lard. If there is any money to be made now in beef production it must be made through the best cattle. With an old cow in fattening it is an item to fatten quickly and to use a good proportion of succulent food. of the sire; if the bull is a short-horn j with a scrub cow it is a grade short-J horn. Vigor and hardiness are often con founded and hardiness is often made an excuse for abusing stock by neg lect. While all the elements of growth arc in the skim milk, yet as soon as the calf is old enough it should be taught to eat. It is largcry this throwing 111 of new blood that tells upon a herd and a wise selection never fails of making v betterment. Household Help 1.

' It is rapidly covered with a layer ti f quicksilver, when it is removed, i washed, and transferred to a silver I bath and siivered. By heating to 300 Cent, the mercury driven off, and the silver firmly fixed on tho iron. To save silver the wire may be first cov- ereo With a layer of tin. one part of ! cream of tartar being dissolved in i eisrnt parts of boiling water, ana one or more tin anodes joined with the carbon pole of a Bunsen element. The zinc polo communicates xvith a well-cleaned niece of conner and the battery made to act un til enough tin has deposited on the copper, when this is tatcen out and the , ironware put in its place. The wire thus treated is much cheaner than any 1 ..... other silvered metal. I'etre.. A bird of Immense wing power is the tiny stormv petrel the smallest web-footed bird known.

The streets were now filled with busy throngs. A thought struck mo. 1 began looking out for the spec tacles on noso, which I had been taught were one of the characteristics of Boston femininity. On a cursory surrey, my impression was one of agreeable disappointment. I deter mined to make the matter a question of mathematics. I would give it-a fair trial. I would take the first 250 women I met in Washington street then tho same number ia Tre moi't street.

I doubt if a lesser proportion I could be found in any other American city. These figures cheered mo. An other lio was nailed. Tho Boston girl might be human after all. X. Y. World.
