The FERTILIZATION Of clover by h


Prof. W. ]. Beal of Michigan, for six
years past has made and observed expert
ments on the fertilization of clover blossoms
by bees, and tested the question whether fer
tilization so that clover heads will mature
seeds without the aid of bees is possible 1t
may be remembered by some of our readers
that this question was once discussed at con-
siderable length in these columns. We be-
lieved, contrary to high scientific authority
that the pollen from the anthers might reach
the germ of the flower so as to fertilize it
without being carried there by bees. This
appears to be proven by the experiments of
Prof. Beal. Covering the plants with light
sashes of muslin, 30 as exclude bees, he found,
the first year, that those covered yielded about
two-thirds as much seed as those left uncov-
cred. In the second year four heads covered
before Towering yielded 1877 seeds, and four
heads of similar size and appearance left I'M
covered yielded 200 seeds. In some subse-
quent experiments no seeds were produced
from the covered plants. The past summer
two punches of clover, apparently alike, were
covered with mosquito netting in one, bum
ble'bees were introduced under the netting
and seen to work on the flowers Fifty ripe
heads were selected from each bunch, and
the seeds carefully counted. The heads from
the plants where the bees had been excluded
had 20 seeds, and the same number of heads
from the plants where ths bees had worked
yielded 92 seeds but 90 uncovered heads,
selected from the field had more than fifteen
times as many seeds, which shows that the
number of seeds matured was diminished by
the covering, where the bees were introduced,
though not to the same extent as in the other.
These experiments tend to show, or rather
prove, that bees are not indispensable to the
fertilization of clover though they probably
aid it. The writer in communicating the re-
suit of his experiments to the American Agri-
culturist, says at is fair conclusion that
bumble-bees are of considerable value in fer
tilizing the flowers of red clover"

A Vermont correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives his experience in this mat
ter as follows:
have for several years, raised mangolds,
sugar beets and various other kinds of roots
for stock feeding and for other purposes, and
have stored them in various ways. | former
ly believed in the ventilation theories, but l
found by practical experience that any root
keeps better when stored as nearly in the
condition in which it grew as possible-that
is, buried in moist earth. The next best place
is in damp, cool pit or cellar. l have a root
cellar, walled up on three sides, and not on
the fourth, except down to the 'pan." Below
that it is sloped so as to stand without Smelling
of. The bottom of the cellar is gradual
slope, so as to run off all water. Almost
throughout the year water oozes in through
the bank and runs across the cellar to tine low
est point, where it enters sub earth duct,
not of the patented kind, however, and flows
away. Into this cellar, on the bank side, our
roots are dumped guard being placed be-
low to keep them from rolling too far. There
is neither floor nor bin but they are left
banked up against the damp earth as they go
into the cellar. No ventilation is ever given
the cellar, except what it gets from the holes
under the slls-which are quite down to a
level with the surrounding ground-Rnd the
drain, common four-inch drain five or six
rOuS long. Wnen cold weather becomes reg
ular, the whole is closed up with light
banking of earth, which reaches an inch or
two above the bottom of the stills. Sometimes
the frost gets in around the sides, and onone
or two occasions we have had some of the
upper roots frozen little; but beyond this
l never saw bushel of injured roots since l
adopted this plan of keeping them. l fed
out mangolds, sugar beets carrots and swedes
as late as midsummer this year that were in
as perfect condition as on the day they were
put in We had turnip beets out of this eel
lar on our table this summer after the new
crop had been in use a month, that were bet
ter than the new ones except for greens. l
fed out parsnips as late as June, that were
dug last fall for winter use, which were APP
parently as sound and crisp as when put
in. The strap leaf turnip, the most diff
cult of all roots to keep in a cellar, be-
cause it grows at temperature
little above freezing, keeps here till
well into the spring. have never tried the
experiment of keeping potatoes on the cellar
bottom, but believe it would be great i'm
provement on keeping them in ventilated
bins. l sold potatoes out of bin in the CEN
tire of this cellar last August, that were as SOL
id and unwilted as when they were put in
eleven months before. 1 confess was as
tonished myself at their splendid condition.
No light was admitted to the cellar during
the summer. Openings were made on three
sides, just large enough to permit free cir
culation of air.

whas Goes with The Farm,

Mr.. H. A. Haigh of the Detroit bar, gives
the following valuable information in the
American Agricultural; When a farm is
bought or sold questions often arise as TO
what goes with it, and disputes may often be
avoided If farmers know just what their farm
deeds include. In brief, where no reserya-
tions are madein the deed, the conveyance in

such chattels or articles as have become so
attached or fix to the soil or to the buildings
as TO become what is known in law as FIX

largely on the intention of the owner in put
ting it there, and also upon the manner in
which 1t is affixed. Anything so fixed to the
soil or the buildings that it cannot be moved
without injury nearly always goes with the
farm and anything of a permanent nature.
htted for permanent use, and annexed thereto
by the owner with that intention, generally
goes with the land, though it might be sew

amples will illustrate. All fences upon the

the farm and not yet build into fenee they
have never yet been annexed" But rails
cut from timber standing on the farm and
piled up for the future use go with it their
original annexation is not severed by being
changed from standing trees to rails. If,
however, they were cut with the intention of
using them elsewhere than on the farm, they
would then be personal property, and would

The figures given in a recent census bulle-
tin show on enormous increase during recent
years in the business of canning fruit and
vegetables. Within the past dozen years the
number of establishments engaged in this in
dustry has more than quadrupled, and the
value of yearly products has more than treb-
led. In 1870 ninety-seven houses we're re-
ported in the business; in 1880 the number
had increased to four hundred and eleven. In
the former year the value of products was
So, 400, 900 in the latter it amounted to S17,-
GOO, OOO The details If given would shaw a
corresponding increase in the number of ar
ticles canned. Formerly but a comparatively
few things were preserved in this way. Now
about every kind of fruit, vegetable, meat
and fish is put up for use in any season or
any place. Great as the growth of this in
dustry has been in the past ten years it is
likely to be greater in the coming decade.
II is, indeed, like to become great American
industry, but there is room for invention to
displace the tin can, at least for all fruits or
vegetables that have acid jdices.

sugar from Corn,tnILs.

DIR. f. lie wis Sturtevant of the New York
agricultural experiment station, in reporting
the tests made at that station the past season,
states that the making of sugar from corn
stalks is by no means a moiorn discovery.
Cortez speaks of kind of honey from the
stems Of the maize plant, which was used by
the native Mexicans. The use of unripe maize
for the manufacture of sugar was recon-
mended in Germany more than seventy years
ago. In Virginia in 1910 the author of "a
True Declaration" says, II cannot let slip
the great secret whereof l will avouch no
more, than with my hands and eyes have
handled and scene, and whereof to my great
comfort have often tasted wheate being
sowen thicke some stalks beare cares of
corne and some beare none but in those
barren stalks there is as much juice as in some
sugar cane of SO delicate tast as no fruit
in England is comparable to it out of which
Sir Ralph Lane conceived that we may ex-
tract sugar in great quantity. But Sir Thorn
as Gates afirmeth that our men doe make
cordial drink thereof, to their great COM
fort" In 1913 Mr.. NJ. Adams of Ogden,
Monroe county, N. Y, made 400 pounds of
sugar from about one-half the stalks from an
acre of corn. He exhibited the sugar at the
New York state fair and the society awarded
him 800. 1t seems that future experiments
must have been less successful, or the max
ing of syrup and sugar from cornstalks would
have been continues or, perhaps, the quail
ity of the product may have been so inferior
as to discourage its production. Very little
appears to have been done or said about it
until the experiments of Prof. Collier of the
department of agriculture in 1878 revived
an interest in it. The result of recent exper-
iments at the station are given below. The
suggestion that new varieties of corn may be
produced, the stalks of which may contain
larger quantity of sugar than any with which
we are now acquainted, is worth consider
ing;
In station trials upon the juice of corn,
the Waushakum corn, yellow flint variety,
was taken, the stalks were crushed in NOR
tar and the juice pressed out in an ordinary
jelly press. On Sept. 18th, the corn, well
glazed, but not dry enough for storage, the
stalks yielded 81 per cent. of juice contain
ing 2.77 per cent of glucose and 500 per
cent of cane sugar; on Sept. 18th, so per
cent of juice was obtained, containing g. %
per cent. of glucose and 6.72 per cent of
sugar on Sept. Both, AZ per cent. of juice
was obtained, containing 1.64 per cent of
glucose and 5.54 per cent. of sugar.
These results at present may be considered
more interesting than useful, and yet we can
not close our eyes to the possibility that in
the examination of individual varieties of
corn we may yet find some containing sugar
in excess over what is contained by the ma
jority of the species, and which, while bear
ing grain, may furnish sugar probably as a
waste product, at time when sorghum mills
become general and apparatus for the manu-
facture of sugar is always at hand
