provide a handy supply of green forage 

 for their horses, as well as by smaller 

 farmers whose cows are stabled during 

 summer. On well manured land the 

 produce of one-quarter to one-third of an 

 acre provides suflBcient food for one cow

LIFE OF SEEDS. 



Experiments are nn progress, accord- 

 ing to the Gardeners' Magazine, for test- 

 ing the longevity of seeds. A given 

 number of seeds of certain plants are 

 buried in a jar each year, and at stated 

 intervals these will be uncovered, and 

 some tested for germinating power, and 

 the rest put back for further tests. 

 Speaking broadly, the limit of the 

 germinating power of the commoner gar- 

 den seeds, in years, is as follows: As- 

 paragus, 6; bean, 3; beet, 6; borecole, 

 6; broccoli, 6; cabbage, 7; cardoon, 8; 

 carrot, 4 or 6; cauliflower, 6; celery, 7; 

 chervil, 3; chicory, 8; cress, 5; cucum- 

 ber, 9; endive, 10; gourds, fancy, 6; 

 kohlrabi, 5; leek, 4; lettuce, 5; melon, 

 7; mustard, black, 4; mustard, white, 4; 

 onion, 2; parsnip, 2; parsley, 3; pea, 

 garden, 3; pumpkin, 6; radish, 5; 

 rhubarb, 3; sage, 3; salsify, 2; seakale, 

 2; spinach, 5; thyme, 3; tomato, 4; tur- 

 nip, 5 ; vegetable marrow, 6. 



Ironton, O. — Weber Bros, say that 

 business was not first-class during the 

 first part of this year, as demand was 

 rather slow. When the chrysanthemum 

 season began, however, trade became 

 lively.
