The Effect of Camphor on Seeds-CuriouS EN-
pertinent.

Some curious and all but forgotten expert
ments of much interest to agriculture and
gardening, observes a London paper, have
lately been revived by German saVant
Very many years ago 1t was discovered and
recorded that water saturated with ca,nphor
had remarkable influence upon the germin
alton of seeds. Like many another useful
hints the stupid world took no notice of this
intimation; but Berlin professor came
across the record of it, and he appears to have
established the fact that solution of cam
phor stimulates vegetables as alcohol does
animals. He took seeds OF various sorts Of
pulse, some of the samples being three or
four wears old, and therefore possessing n
very Slight degree of vitality. Tie divided
three parcels, placing one moiety of them
between sheets OF blotllng paper simply
wetted, and the other under strictly similar
conditions between sheets soaked III the cam
nboreted water. In many cases the seeds
did not swell at all under the influence Of the
simple moisture, but in every case they ger
minated where they were subjected to the
camphor solution. The experiment was ex-
tended to different kinds of garden seeds, old
and new, and always with the same result of
showing singular awakening of dormant
yitalism and wonderful quickening of
growth. 1t also appears from the Professors
researches that the young plants thus set
shooting continued to increase with viger
and vivacity much beyond that of those which
were not so treated On the other hand, when
pounded camphor was mixed with the so,l,
It appeard to exercise a rather bad effect upon
seeds. The dose in this latter case was pos
sibly too strong. At all events, there is here
a line of inquiry we'll worth following up by
seedsmen and gardeners; and even formers
might try how tar wheat and barley would
profit from the strange property which seems
to be possessed by this drug over the latent
life OF vegetable germs.

Clover Hay ifor Horses.

Many farmers are strenuousy opposed to
red clover of any kind as tccd for horses, as
they contend the poisonous dust which RISES
from the dead stalks and dry leaves frequent
y causes the hoaves. For many years we
nave kept horses almost exclusively ON clover
hay through our long winters, and II the
clover was cut when about oneha!f The bios
sons had turned brown, and the hay mostly
cured in the cock in good weather, so rs to
retain most RI its leayts and heads and green
appearance, we have never known it to pro
iuce either cough or heaveS. We know Of
40 reason why it shoald produce a cough In
horses any more than red top or herds'grass
Glover when Cut early for hay, as 1t generally
should be, from its succulence, If not wei!
dried before being carried to tue barn in large
quantities, is very liable to heat in the NOV
or on the scattold this process produces some
in uriOus chemical changes i'll the hay. The
starch, sugar gum etc. first assume the vim
Gus fermentation, producing saccharne
quality in the hay If the change here be ar
rested no bad results would follow; the nutr-
tive and healthy quality Of the hay would
not be lessened-but generally the vines run
into the aCetCus tcrmentatlon-th is follow
ed by sourness, moldiness and dust Such
musty hay fed to horses when made from
clover or any other kind Of grasses, would be
very likely - pTouuCc II StuuUplu Cough iio-
quently ending in the heaves 1t is no won
der that some farmers have prejudice
against such clover hay. What would be the
value of the medicinal herbs annually gar
nered up (while in bossom) 10y the careful
housewife if suffered to heat and ferment, as
is often the case with clover hay? In making
hay from clover we have tor many years prac'
ticed the following method: In clear weather
commence moving as soon as the dew Is on !;
let it remain in the swath till three or tour
O'Clock, afternoon then with the fork take
swaths up in flakes and putup cocks that VIII
average about fifty pounds OF dried hay. The
cocks remain untouched forty.four hours, then
they are carefully pitched over in flakes, and
two cocks are put in one; from nine to ten
O'Clock the third day they are opened, and II
the weather has been fair the hay will be in
good order to get in after dinner, without any
liability to heat, though we generally sprinkle
few quarts Of salt TO each load as slowed
away. This is as short time as clover can
be made by cutting, spreading, turning, rak-
ing open, etc, rs is practiced by many far
mers. BY the above processes most OF the
leaves and heads are left in the field, while
by making mostly in the cock the leaves and
heads are principally retained and the whole
mass retains its color and its clover odor, and
horses, cattle and sheep eat it with avidity.
1t is true We cannot always be sure OF three
good day in succession, and i'll case OF
rain "hay caps" come into profitable use, not
only protecting clover, but other kinds OF
hay.--N J. Herdh.
