PLANT BREEDING ON FARM. X Tbe cry is becoming more gen eral for better eeds. How ara we to ret tbem! As tbe altoa tlon ia. aaya a correspondent of tbe Amertcaa Agrlcnltcrlst. I believe tbe answer to tbe ?aes tltjn is to breed tbem oarselTea. W often sea la borticuitsral and aTicn!taral periodlcala ar ticles tbat bare a tendency to tbrov a wet blanket orer tbis proposition, claiming tbat seed breedlcg is a boslnees of its own. requiring special training to do it ppjperty. This may be troe, rlewed from a aciestlfic rtand polnt and yet tbera ara few market gardeners or truck fann ers wbo cannot breed and grow Z wbat seeda tbey reqnlra for tbetr 7 Individual plantings. aiicuaily. tbera remain at bom tbow- ' saiid and tbotuands of dollars board ed op by local V'e wbo are w'Jl icg and anxkxss to lnrest tt la tbe bonds if given tbe opportunity. Tbis bas been demcatrated in St. raol aad Baltimore. EUck of tbe exrrl3ents in Ft Paol aa Interesting bit of bisrury. Tbat city some time ago discovered tbat it cooid secure better work or street im provement by day Isbo tbaa by coo- tract, and tt charter was ao amended so as to admit tbe desired cbamte. Tbe amended charter still provided tbat improvement bonds shooed be aold aft er bids bad bees received and cuotrarta let. bot bef ure work bad begun. It did not cover tba conditions f -r day labor oa tba bond side apparently. Tbere- fjre wbea f3X)..0 wortb of 8 per cent paring bonds were laaoed tbera arose a question aa to tbelr tega:i7, and bro ker were ratber sby of tbem. A bank inquired into tbe matter, ob tained expert advice and found tbat tbe bond were leaHy all rttfbt. It tberefore parcbaed freely and, to see wbat cooil be done in tbe way of in teresting tbe small investors, pot be fore one of tbe leadig department stores of tbe city a plan to dUpoae of tbe bonds over its counter. Tbe store's beads fell into tbe plan at once, took tbe bonda. announced a sale on a cer tain day, tba bonda to be sold at tbe price paid for tbem and roaranteed so tbat no Investor need nave any fear aboct getting bis money back at any time. A limit of IIJCiO to each pur cbaser was fixed. In aU fOO. wortb of bonds were disposed of in Ova boon. Tbe purchasers were foe tba most part women, and tba average pare base was aboct KM- Tba money came from local savings backs, from ' tbe poetal aavicgj banks snd from per sonal boardings. Shorty after tbis anotber issue of t25 wortb of bonds for a municipal playground was offered. A bank took tbe entire Issue and annoenced to tbe public tbat it would seU. wltb tbesa bonds as security, trust certlficatea la denominations of f 10, no purchaser to receive above $100 wortb. Tbe sale of tbese certlficatea waa quite as success ful as tbat at tbe de'artmect store. In tbe city of Baltimore tbe finance commimioners o;nei bids for an lasce of oJ.jO of 4 pr cent city stock which bad been duly advertised for sale. Tbe bida received totaled only By rejecting blda below W and accrued Interest tbe commission ers were enabled to award but $-!2T.-000. Tbe sale was a distinct failure. Within tea days, however, tbe whole Issue bad been disposed of at V) and Interest. A direct appeal to tba peo ple and a sale over tbe counter t- "mall Investors, proposed and carried into effect by a Baltimore newspaper, ac compbed tbis end. During those ten days tba money market waa In tbe worst condition It has been in since i:7. Wltb tbat In T j mind tbe paper anticipated tbe failure Root Crepe rsr Dairy Caw. No matter wbat soma peopla tail yoa. turnips and other roots make fine milk producing feed. Turnips wCl not affect tba flavor of milk if fed at tba rtgbt time. If turnips ara fed la large quantities, and two or thre hours before milking, tbey ara likely to give tbe milk an unpleasant taste, but If fed directly after milking no favor whatever will be noticed. Farm Progress ALL S0RTS0F ANIMALS. Great care should be osed la water ing tba horses. A little and often U tba best way. Moldy or filthy grain ta one of tba vorst things tbat can be given tba lives, as It Is productive of numerous tative ailments. a cows that ara oa pasture should free access to salt. Tba dairy eeda tbis all tbe year around, but 'IJy Just at tbis season, frequently bear tba question 'What Is tba best size of flock average farm?" Generally -. from forty to sixty awe best six of flock for a qoar a farm. ara not situated so that 79a our bogs out draw a load of 6 throw H Into the pena now .. The bogs will work It over a lot of comfort doing tt aem grow faster too of tbe city to dispose of tbe full issue and had announced tbat it would place a small block of tbe bonds stock on sale In denominations of flOQ and multiples of tbat amount For this purpose it secured flOX wortb and placed It on sale. In two hours It waa gone, and more was sent for. Tba first day's sale amounted to i.X5). Oa tbe second day 973.0 0 was dbpce4 of and on tbe third f 121.). Orders were pouting in by every train. A week after tbe sale waa announced tba city made It known tbat it bad all the money It needed and would withdraw tbe unsold portion of tbe stock and bold it for a better market But It al lowed two days of grace to Intending purchaser, and In that time tbe whole Issue was disponed of. Customers Included farmers and preachers, toacbers and mechanics and men and women In every rrade of life One mechanic brought l-'.O In bills, which be bad been keeping tit years In bis house.

The object apsrt from helping out the city n a troublous time and getting boaidcd money Into circulation, was to distribute the city's securities as wide ly as possible In tbe hope that pr aee rl.n of the stork would arouse In the owners a civic Interest and make for eTlcipncy and economy In tba mani- ri;al adra!nltrst!on. i the las colWo, fcr ss.J ,Bt,a? . u 1 r ' TV" stau. it is there for hereby erdered , " " !T " V " ' " " Mm I y the court U.t ta.t carta! . bod af . l ,h" l - B Sta.rt. ... tba C.itad State, fidelity ard Cara-i fc Unt ' to '"-.O 0 Poorfson. t, Coa-rar, oa tabalf of A E Tbop- " fjf k . , J " . . . . la tea Courty Coort ef tba State of ., . purney oa as tax roilector. branag dateef: t rny, hbv March 4th A D 1)11. ard beirg aa- j Ut C"W" 1 !
