NICOTINE AND TOBACCO.

Varieties Of the Weed That Are Destitute
OF the Poison.
Many people regard tobacco and nico-
tine as synonymous terms, though 1t Ii
known that there are varieties Of to-
bacco which contain practically no
nicotine whatever. A Venetian doctor,
Sig. q. u. de Toni. has been making
some exhaustive researches on ''Nico-
tina Tobacum'-the variety Of tobacco
generally used by smokers-and has
just published the results of his inves-
legations. He finds that nicotine, which
Is an alkaloid, Is located chiefly In the
epidcrmal tissues, but Is entirely alb
sent from the seed and young plant.
In the root Of mature plant it occurs
in the cortical tissue, and especially in
in the layer Of cells Immediately be-
meath the cpidcrmis. In the branches,
leaf stalk. lamina of the leaf, pedunclo,
calyx and corollo it is confined almost
entirely to the epidermal cells, and oc-
ours chiefly in those at tho base of the
hairs. In smaller quantities it is found
in the anthers and pistil, but the meso-
phyl and assimilation tissues Of the
leaf were entirely devoid Of nicotine
in all the samples examined.
DR.. Toni believes the function Of
nicotine to be simply excretory, being
product of the reduction Of oxygen
Gus substances. BY some of it has been
assumed that nicotine exercises . pro-
.tective influence on the tobacco plant
to keep marauding insects at bay; but
this assumption is not borne out by OBJ
servation, rs both the fresh and dried
Leaves iars eaten by many insects.

The massive 6-foot reflector in tho
Lord Rose telescope at Parsontown.
Ireland, is justly considered one Of the
modern wonders of the world. The
Gigantic reflector, tho first that ever

Orion, Is set in the end OF a IS foot
wooden tube, held together by iron
bands. Although it weighs fraction
over four tons it Is 20 sensitive that the
pressure of the hand upon the back

able speed Of 49,, 500 miles per second.

FARMER AND PLANTER.

The truck gardener uses home and
commercial fertilizers more freely than
any other class of farmers. One main
essential for . good crop Of early and
tender vegetables is q hi2hly-fertile
soil, and this fertility must be sustained
throughout the year. We learn more
from these truck gardeners what .
square yard Of soil will yield than
from the large general farms Gener-
ally the garden is situated near . good
market, and land is SO valuable that
every foot must be utilized. Land is
more valuable than manure in their
ease, while on many large farms the
reverse is the case. A good truck gar
dencr will make a half dozen -aeres
support himself and family in comfort,
while many farmer falls behind every
year on q so or 1OO-acre farm The diff
ference, after all, is largely in the
methods pursued by the two men.
The truck farmer teaches us the
value and necessity Of intensive farm
ing. Reduce the size Of the farm SO
that every square yard can be thor
oughly cultivated. 1t improves the
soil rs well n increasing the yield.
This is the reason why many small
kitchen gardens of farmers are richer
and more productive than the general
fields. They devote more time to it,
cultivation. and incidentally increase
its fertility. Manuring q garden is not
simply applying manure, bat is also
stirring up the elements of the soil so
that they can be used Is plant food.
The average field is allowed to grow
over with weeds at some time, and
after the crop is well under way, the
soil can not be fortified OF cultivated.
Owing to the absence of air and light
in it, q great deal of the fertilizing ele-
mcnts naturally in the ground is lost
to the crop. =
In the maket garden there is con-
tinual cropping and an almost uninter-
rupted use of the land. One crop il
gathered and another is Immediately
planted. More manure is used and
plowed and narrowed in. The soil gets
soft, mellow and warm. Weeds are
kept down by the continual cultivation,
and the market gardener can continue
to use this same soil year after year
without its running out. In other
words, this continual cultivation, use
and manuring of the soil is the surest
way to keep it strong and fertile.
We need plenty Of available plant
food in our soil, and it must be put
there literally and in the best form.
But one of the most common things is
to let great deal of this go to waste.
The land is not cultivated sufficiently
to make the food available for the
plants. It consequently leaks down
into the subsoil in the course of time
or is washed away. Very often our ap-
parently unfertile soils do not seem to
improve with the heavy application Of
manure; but when they are cultivated
and crops are taken OF
and others put in, the land gradually
improves. This is due simply to the
fact that continual cultivation often
fertilizes as much as the manure does.
