Tribune that when in New Mexico in pounds of yellow corn shelled, the figures,

varieties. The tubers were very small, the black-soil counties of Illinois, when

Simplify. Be cheerful. Health is con¬ 
tagious as well as disease. Nine-tenths 
of all diseases start with a cold. Don't 
hurry. Don’t worry. Don’t starve. Don’t 
overeat. 
It is easy to raise magnolias from seed 
if one knows how. The simplest way 
we know of is this, a way that we 
chanced upon through a desire to know 
if seeds of the choicer kinds would ger¬ 
minate after a full exposure to cold, rain, 
snow and ice during the entire winter. 
The seeds were collected in early spring 
from under a Magnolia Lennei. They 
were planted in drills of mellow soil, 
two or three inches apart—the drills 
six inches apart. A fair proportion 
germinated in a few weeks and we 
have now about 25 two-year-old trees 
to show for the experiment. Lenne’s 
mignolia is as we believe dependent 
upon foreign pollen for fertilization. 
The seedlings vary greatly in the size, 
shape and color of the leaves as also in 
the habit of the young seedlings. The 
parent tree is near Soulangeana, Hypo- 
leuca and Acuminata.

The National Stockman has the follow¬ 
ing from a contributor : “ Among other 
varieties of potatoes planted last spring 
was Rural New-Yorker No. 2 and Rural 
Blush. It is the habit of the former to 
i-et the young potatoes quite early, hav¬ 
ing the entire season to grow their crop 
in. With the latter variety it is just the 
opposite. In an ordinary season this 
makes but little difference, but in a 
season like the past, when May and June 
are extremely wet, and J uly and August 
very dry, the yields of varieties like the 
Rural Blush will be materially shortened. 
The No. 2 has in such seasons decidedly 
the advantage. I will profit by this ex¬ 
perience in discarding all varieties that 
are in the habit of setting their crops 
late in the growing season.”
