station, some 10 or 10 years ago. did
some interesting work in this ilne' ana
DR.. Beal of the Michigan Agricultural
college also Investigated the subject to-
some extent in the early eighties. More
extensive work has later been done by
the University of Wisconsin.
These various tests have made 1t ap-
pear that there is a great difference III
the power Of different kinds or seeds TO
regerminate. Who the list In
the experiments rele.- -um the WIS
consin station and is strongest IN the
number of times it will pick up again,
it having terminated no less than Ia
times, with 101 days drying IN the IN
tervals between these several germlna-
tions. Corn terminated six times with
35 days drying, radishes five times
with % days drying; parsnips and car
rots germinated barely twice, giving
very small percentage the second time,
while celery and pansy and timothy
terminated but once, and clover had but
very small percentage Of termination
after the first one. The practical bear
ing of these facts is that they account
for the frequent failure to get "catch"
of grass Or clover in a dry season. If
either timothy or clover starts to germi-
nate and the termination is arrested
from any cause, it will not be resumed,
even though the most favorable condl-
tions should follow. 1t is otherwise
with wheat, and even with corn, though
with a less extent than the wheat.
The method by which the growth is
renewed is deserving of notice. In case
of grain and corn, the descending axis
usually dies, while the ascending axis
resumes growth. throwing out rootlets
from itself. With buckwheat, however,
and with all the garden seeds tested the
descending axis retains it's vitality and
resumes growth, although the extreme
end of the radicle is generally killed by
the drying. The upper part usually
lengthens, the radicle swells up at its
lower end and finally develops mum
ber of rootlets. In the case of the Gu
cumber and melon, rootlets often devel-
op, when the descending axis has been
entirely destroyed, from the base OF the
cotyledons or seed leaves

The ,a .ged rail fence just loafed along,

T'hs 70 sged rail fence just loafed along.
In ieisurely, zigzag line,
Down 1ihe side of the hill and wandered out
To t1e murmuring slopes of pine.
And had only to climb the fence,
Or go through cru1nbling gap,
To let gold spill down out of my arms
And overflow from my lap.
And the fonce never cared single bit,
For all it was there to guard,
And might have doubled my golden spoils
Untroubled of watch or ward.
A careless old fence, and yet the hill
Broke splendidly on the eyes
Gold clear out to the west, my dear,
And gold clear up to the skiesl
And you needn't say, "Oh. it's a fairy
tale!''
With that odd little scornful nod,
For it happens to be our own East hill
Grown over with goldenrod.
