Cross F fertilization.

ty of flowers were thought to be their
only excuse for existing, but at that
time Christian Conrad Springle began
to perceive their true aim and sig
nificance. 1t appears rather strange
that this phase of botany should have
escaped the early observers in this
field of study; it is fact, however,
and Springle was the first to conclude
that the fragrance and snowy colors
of blossoms were for the purpose of
attracting insects to them and, in sip
ping nectar would convey pollen from
the stamens to the stigma of the pistil
and bring about fertilization. AL
though he observed that the insects
must of necessity carry pollen from
one flower to another in it's numerous
visits to blossoms, still he did not con-
ceive the idea of cross-fertilization
which is really the object to be ac-
complished by the insect. Failing to
perceive, and amplify this point, his
theory of insect agencies in fertiliza-
ton was rejected.
For seventy years after Springle's
time not much more was accomplish
ed toward bringing about the estab-
lishment of the agency Of insects iii
fertilizing flowers. At this time,
however, Charles Darwin appears in
the field, and his wonderful work on
1.-The Fertilization of Orchids'' revolu-
tionized the study of botany. Pecu-
liarities of forms that had heretofore
been looked upon as simply freaks of
nature were now revealed in their
true significance; namely, that in
sects might accomplish cross-fertiliza-
ton.
We all know how multitudinous are
the forms of flowers. The mechanism
of some are simply awe-inspiring. All
these different details in the makeup
of blossoms are to facilitate the mis-
sion of the insect visitors. Certain
plants have their intimate friends in
of their flowers is adapted to these in
sects, and consequently these plants
have for their constant visitors this
special kind Of insect. Insects are not
fools! They go where they receive the
best treatment. See what firm and
everlasting friendship exists between
our red clover and the humble bee.
Not many years since this clover seed
was taken to Australia for the pur-
pose of introducing it into that coun-
try. The seed terminated all right,
the plants grew luXuriantly and bios
sOmed in profusion, but that is all.
No seed was formed that the species
might be perpetuated What caused
this failure? 1t is easily explained
Australia could not boast of the bum
BILE bee, and the clover absolutely re-
fused to accept the native bees as g
substitute for the dear old friends
and companions of it's native home fal
over the sea. When the Australians
introduced our humble bee into their
country, the clover matured seed in
abundance, and to all appearance is
now content in it's new home.
Some plants that have snowy flow
ers do not secrete nectar, but they
are visited by certain pollen-feeding

that they are the sentiments of
very many of the closest friends of
Senator Shoup. We know that
they are the sentiments of the

as of the whole state and if Senator
Shoup were to go into the fight on
this platform, he would redeem
himself in the eyes of the people of

We have long suspected that
Senator Shoup has allowed him
self to be forced into a false posi-

that, if he would retain any place

Farn2 Notes.
Fruit for breakfast.

The London Family Doctor
makes the following useful suggest
ions: Fruits are the natural cor
receives for disordered digestion, but
the way in which many persons eat
them converts them into curse,
rather than il blessing Instead of
being taken on an empty stomach,
or in combination with simple grain
preparations, such as bread, they
are frequently eaten with oily foods,
or they are taken at the end of the
meal, after the stomach is already
full, and perhaps the whole mass Of
food washed down with tea, coffee,
or other liquid Fruits, to do their
best work, should be eaten either on
an empty stomach or simply with
bread never with vegetables. In
the morning before the fast Of the
night has been broken they are not
only exceedingly refreshing, but
they serve as natural stimulus To
the digestive organs. And to pro
duce their fullest, finest effect, they
should be ripe, sound, and of good
quality. LII our climate fresh fruit
should constitute, not the finishing,
but the beginning Of the meal, par
ticularly the breakfast, for at least
six months in the year. The good
effects that would follow the album
dant use Of fruits are often more
than counterbalanced by the per-
nicious habit Of saturating them
with sugar Very few fruits, if
thoroughly ripe and at their best,
require any sugar, particularly if
eaten in raw state; but it untor-
tunately is u fact that what is in
tended and prepared for Ms as a
great good in the matter Of diet
should be transformed into exactly
the reverse.

Potash in the Orchard.

All fruit growers know that pot
ash in large amounts is necessary
for bearing fruit trees, says the Nea0
York Farmer But they are .ery
apt to delay its application until
late III the Spring or sometimes I'M
til midsummer, when the young
fruit is fast falling from the trees for
the lack Of material to form its
seeds. Then it is too late for the
potash to do any good that season,
as there is seldom rain enough after
midsummer to dissolve the potash
and carry it within reach of the
tree roots.
The proper time to apply any
kind of fertilizer to an orchard is in
Winter. Then the melting snow
and Spring rains carry its soluble
portions into the soil There is in
every direction from vigorous tree
such network of roots that there
is no possibility Of the fertilizer be-
ing washed away through the soil
without being at some point taken
up and brought into the tree.
1t is best not use too much stable
manure in orchards. 1t promotes
large wood growth, bnt it is also
likely to breed fungus diseases,
which grow most vigorously in the
excess of sap in trees that have too
much heterogeneous and too little
mineral fertilizer The pear es-
pecially needs to be mainly fer
tilted with mineral manures, MS
these last will not cause blight, bnt
will tend rather to prevent it by
promoting healthy foliage

FOR Your Protection. Catarrh Cures" or

passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
