. . - . Select (xoocl Seed.
There is no wav'in which improvement in
agriculture can be made in a cheap a way as
in the judicious selection of seed. A supe
rior kind of seed canjoften bo obtained for an
acre of land at a small expense perhaps at
the extra cost of ooly 50 centsand it miy
be the means Of tedding 1Q per cent to" the
CMPj which may amount to several dollar?
on-au acre! warmers can often imnrove
their seed .bv purchase or exchange, and
every one has it in his power to make im-
prnvements in this way by a good selection.
If-an earlier kind b-i desirable then select
seed from ;he earliest that lipens. - If you
would have larger - products, then select seed
from the largest. Jn jhis wsy almost cvery
thing can -be - improved. .ome cultivators
will selept their best ' )beansi pcasj 'and other
vegetables for eating, land "take 'what is. left
for seed. n this way he cafl .(jepcud on dc
terioraiidu. ? vl
' At a small expensri the fjnest seed, car:
liest, ljrgestt-r latest as desirable, may be
selected frdri; the best jiluhts- and a ittle seed
thus obtained pan' soon he njuliipt ifi'4 into' a
