sown just as it came from the thresher,
with its light grain and noxious weed
seeds. liv running through a fanning
mill tho light grain and most of the
weed seed can be separated from the
better grain; this, at least, should be
done. Hut to improve a variety of
grain, great eire should bo taken to
secure the best-formed lieu Is, the
plumpest kernels, from the stillest
straw possible. On of the very best
varieties of winter wheat in cultiv-i-lioii
ii. the United States wis Hceured
by selecting the best-shaped heads ut
harvest time ami afterward hand pick
ing to g.-t the most plump iin.l better
shaped kernels. It was u tedious job,
but brought the reward. Thin variety
yielded forty-six bushels per acre on
an Ohio iiirui the lust season, and
brings the highest pra,-.; of any seed
whout known t the writer.
Oats uro more apt lo deteriorate in
this country than any other grain,
'Imported vurieties weighing upward
,of fifty pounds per bushel will in five
or six years fall to from twouty-eight
tto thirty-two or thirty-threo pouuds.
(In thu hands of a very careful fiirmei
.they will not deteriorate so fust ; but
ttho blight ami rust caused by our eli-
imato weaken tho vitality, which can
'not be overcome eutirely by tho most
careful selection and cultivation. So
our only recourse, is to occasionally
lehango our food, being sure to fjot
imported grain. The best imported

Most farmers take soma care ol

Interesting may bo the study of the

A JOLLY OLD SCHOOLBOY.
Martin Van Uureu Stevens Goes to a
Unlvcraiij ut Hcvcuty Yearn.
There ui-o many (jualiit pistplo lu at
tendance at tho Kansas Slate Univer
sity at Lawrence, but probably the
most Interesting of these Is a law Httl
dent who Is at least "0 years old. Ills
mi mo Is Dr. Martin Van Huron Htev
ens. This Is Ids second year at the uni
versity, ami ho expects to graduate
this spring and become a full fledged
lawyer.
Tho doctor's life has been one of hi
terestlng experiences. Wllk(Hburre,
I'll., was the place of lits birth. At the
ago of ill) lie married a rennaylvanla
girl and enll.-Kd In thu I-'Ifth New
Hampshire regiment, company V. lie
received the derive of bachelor of urts
In OImtIIii College, lu Ohio, and doctor
of medlelno nt the Adelbert Collee;e,
Cleveland, diiu.. In 1S71. Ills lirtd wife
having died, iie married ngmn, this
time selecting a MlehlK.m girl, n nlctv
Of "Flighting J tin Ith-harilsou." At one
tlnio lie studied theology and pre.iehetl.
but ho soon navo It up and mulled
phrenology tii'der Fowler, of New
York.
In a cozy little houro on the LIU tbta
queer old man lives. Ilo keepn every
thing about tho plnco Bcnipu'.otiidy
clean. One warm meal a day he con
siders milllflciit. The other two be car
ries to school with lit in In a small shoe
box. Very lit t lo meat passes his lip -In
fact, lio might almost be called n
vepetarlnn. "People cat entirely too
much," be says.
Last year he was somewhat conspic
uous ou account of tho number of
budges and emblems he wore on tint
front of his coat. There were badgea
of tho I. A. It., Christian Kndcavor, a
seven-Inch phrenological badge, Y. M.
U. A., a medical society, and C. I. 8. (5.
Another of his peculiarities Is that lie
carries a watch which Is fully four
luathes In diameter. He winds it tvlth
a pair of six Inch nippers.
lr. Stevens lias been in every Sta'o
and Territory of the t'ulted States. Kv
cry summer lot goes out on n lectur
ing tour and tells the people ull about
phrenology, physiology uiid physiog--uomy.
When the reporter asked hlin bis ne
ho s'.i'd rather bashfully: "O, I never
tell people my age becauso they might
think I was too old to be going to
school hero. You can tell, though, by
these that I nui no spring chicken,"
aud lie stroked bis long white beard.
"I am registered u at the university
ns 4 years. I don't feel old, though,
f..r I neither drink lhpmr, use tobacco
inr swear. I always pay my honest
debts nud never worry. Worry kills
people."
All the students like him. for he Is a
Jolly old fellow, lino acts as young ns
the most of them. When asked if he
thought of getting married again, he
mulled ami said: "I shouldn't wonder.
A mail Is never too old to untrry."

lent il the Hoys tu Work.
Km nobody Miys, let every farmer
who has boys provide them with a
workshop. Wo say, let very father
have a work-diop, or work-room, or
work bench where the boys may grat
ify their longing for tools, und Incar
nate their restless activity In "some
thing to do." It should be made pleas
ant, attractive and comfortable. If
Voiiiii enough, there can be u work
bench and vise, a shaving horse and
perhaps a small foot latin, two or three
planes, augers of different sizes, a few
chisels, drawliigknife, saw and hum
mer. For those who cannot afford tho
whole, a part would answer; ami to
those who cuii, oilier tools might be
added, the cost of the tools being but
a t i-l lit. compared with tlie advantages
gained, one of which Is real progress iu
practical education. It has been wild
the best Inheritance a mail can leave
bis children is not money to maintain
thelii. but the ability to help nud take
care of themselves.
A young man who can at any time
mend sofa, chair, rocker, sled, harness
or tin ware, set the clock, repair an
umbrella, whitewash a wall, paper a
room, and do a hundred other small
Jobs, will get through the world far
more comfortably and thriftily than
one who is constantly obliged to $end
for a mechanic.
K.-shh-s nil this, and greater still. Is
the uior.-il Inllueiice of tools In furnish
ing boys something cheerful to do 111
stormy weather or leisure hours, and
thus weakening any temptation to at

The Tramp's Opportunity.
y-.icor things huppou in .bis world
A tramp took refuge In an old grave
yard in (ieorgla. and prepared for a
hound night's rest between two graves.
About the hour when chureiiyards arj
supposed to "yawn," he was atvakeii
etl by a strange liolse, und, ou looking
up lit discovered an esoa'M'd convict
In the act of tiling his shackles. As
the tramp stood up, th-t eonvict, lu
superstitious terror, fell upon his
knees, whereupon the tramp am-sted
him, delivered Ii I ill over to the author
ities at the camp near by, ami rivelved
a reward of $-"0. Atlanta Constitution.

"I was cured of an annoy lug propon-
slty to sleep In rather mi original wuy,"
said Jones. "Some time ago there were
I a number of nights when I coi not
I sleep until Just before It was time to
I rise lu the morning. Then, of course,
! It was hard to wake me. My friends
i advised all sorts of remedies, but my
wife set her wits to work, and found
tlu right one. Tho next night I fell
I Into a light doze soon after I got into
: bed, but lu less than twenty minutes I
was us wide awake as ever, pitching
ami tossing, n id unable to close my
eyes. Well, lay wlfo got up, struc'i a
mutch, ami pretended to look at her
watch. Then she said, 'I wouldn't try
ttt go to sleep, dear, as It will soon bo
time for you to get up now.' That set
tled It. In three minutes I wns asleep,
nud slept like a log. This wns repeat
ed once or twice, and now I get my reg
ular sleep every night The best of
It was I didn't know for a number of
days the little ruso that bnd boon em
