A great many farmers and ga deners lose half their crops, an sometimes more than half, simpl by planting or sowing seed, tb germs of which have lost the vitality. Large quantities of ga: den seeds are not sold the ne2 season after they were raised, b are kept over and offered for sal the next, or even the third seasoi Seeds of some kinds of plant cro will lose their vitality if kept mor than one season after they wer grown. Hence, it is an exceller practice to test the vitality of a garden seeds, and even wheat an other cereal grain, when one entei tains any doubts as to the vitalit of the germs. We always te: garden seeds when we do not kno positively that they were raised tb preceding season. An old pa or other similar vessel is fille with fine and mellow soil, sonm seeds are planted in it and tb pan is kept near the stove, i a warm place far a week or te days. If the seeds have not lot their vitality they will germinal in less than a week provided tk seed bed is kept warm and mois We have had turnip seed and Ix dian corn sprout and come up i four days. A few kernels of fla2 seed was put in some street dii within a glass tumbler, and t1 tumbler was kept in a warm roon On the fifth day after the seed we planted the young flax was an inc high, bearing the kernels on t ends of the growing stems. When seeds are tested in't1 foregoing manner it is well to cour the number planted in order to d< termine how many will fail to ge: inate. Many seeds that have r more vitality than grains of sani will often appear as fair and plum as if they had been raised the pri vious season. A dealer in flaxsee desired us to sow one and a ha bushels of Russian flax seed for tl purpose of trying an experimen The seed appeared bright an plump; but not one kernel germin: ted. We have frequently sowed ca rot seed and timothy seed whieh 'y knew to be two years old; and n< one seed out of one hundred germ nated. In the spring of 1876 a procured some corn seed of a net neighbor, all of which appeare bright and plump ; but more tha two-thirds of the amount that we planted failed to germinate. I4 seeds be tested a long time befor the period to sow and plant he arrived.

Siroy, of the Society oflorticulture,Yalparaiso, "and the trees grew well and strongly. They had but just com menced to bud when they were invaded by the curculio (pulgon,) which insects were followed, as frequently;happens, by ants. Hav ing cut some tomatoes, the idea occurred to me, that by placing some of the leaves around the trunks and branches of the peach i trees, I might preserve them from the rays of the sun which were very powerful. "My surprise was great upon the following day, to find the trees entirely free from their enemies, not one remaining, except hero and there where a curled leaf pre vented the tomato from exercising its influence. These leaves I care fully unrolled, placing upon them fresh ones from the tomato vine d with the result of banishing the last insect and enabling the trees e to grow with luxuriance. Wishing to carry still further my experi ment, I steeped in water some fresh leaves of the tomato, and 't sprinkled with this infusion other it plants, roses and oranges. In two e days these were also free from the - innumerable insects which covered is them, and I felt sure that had I e used the same means with my e melon patch, I should have met ,t with the same result. I therefore 11 deem ita duty I owe to the Society d of Horticulture to make known . this singular and useful property of the tomato leaves, which I dis covered by the merest accident." S MILK AND OREAM.-Has it ever e occurred to our readers that it is easier to take the milk away from the cream than to skim the cream e off the milk? The former process e insures a better result in quantity n of unbroken cream, in facility of nhandling and in saving of time. To Stake the milk from the cream re quires the pana to be made smaller Cat the bottom than at the top, and -to have a hold made -in the hot toim, with a piece of zinc pipe, an Sinch or two long, soldered on, of such a diameter that a common Ssized cork would fit into it. The pans may rest on frames, or on - small stands, elevated from the ?floor a sufficient height to admit iof placing skim milk cans under eneath. .This process is simple, effective and worthy of a trial. r Amertfcan Cultivrator. - BIRDs AND THE WEATHER.-A - writer jn the London Times urges > the strengthening of meteorology 1 by the study of ornithology. Long experience has taught him that all -great atmospheric changes are sure to be preceded by unwonted ap f pearances among birds. When the e late terrible gales were approach t. ing lie saw large flocks of starlings in a lcality where they had never -appeared before, the next day - wood pigeons, and on the next large flocks of wild geese took their t flight southward. CURE FOR CHOKING CATTLE. Should cattle be at any time in danger of choking by reason of any foreign substance sticking in the throat, take of fine chewing tobac sco enough to make a ball as. large tas a hen's egg; dampen it with mo lasses so that it can be compressed into a ball, and will adhere closely; elevate the animal's head, pull out the tongue, and cro'wd the ball as :s far down the throat as possible In fifteen minutes it will cause sick .ness and vomiting, relaxing the muscles so that the potato, or whatever may be choking it, will be thbrown up.-Lantcaster Farmer. 3All kinds of poultr'y and meat can be cooked quicker by adding ir to the water in which they are t boiled a little vinegar or piece of is lemon. By the use of an acid there will be considerable saving 1. of fuel, as well as shortening of t time. Its action is beneficial in old, tough meats, rendering thiem quite tender and easy to be digested; and tainted meats and fowls will lose their bad taste and odor if cooked in this way, and if not used too Isfreely, no taste of it will be ac quired. eCURE FOR THE T00THAHE. r At a meeting of the London Medi Ical Society, Dr. Blake, a distin guished practitioner, said that he was able to cure the most desperate case of toothache, unless the dis ease was connected with rheuma e& iscellaneous. jPRI TINGE HOUS AND BOOK STORE!
