SOAKING SEEDS BEFORE PLANr1Na.-It
is good practice to soak seeds before plants
ing when the weather is cool, or when dan
ger is apprehended from insects. Professor
Mapes used to recommend adding carbonate
of ammonia to the water in which the seeds
is to be soaked. When seeds first germinate.
they obtain carbonate acid from the soil, hav-
ing ,ro leaves to absorb i, from the atmosphere.
and the carbonate of ammonia supplies it
James Campbell has for many years stepped
corn and other seeds in solution of carbo-
nate of ammonia, and is convinced that GER
mination is hastened as well as the maturity
of the crop, and that the yield is increased
all other things being equal. The carbonate
of ammonia can be had of druggists, and four
ounces to gallon of water may be used.
