Forcing p,anss With Ether.

Attention Is being attracted TO the
use of ether and ohloroform vapors rs
forcing agents. 1t has been shown by a
number of investigators that the vapor
Of chloroform or ether has a marked ef-
feet upon the respiration of & plant, in
creasing it i'll some cases to marked
degree, as explained by Professor Gal
loway. Increasing the respiration sim
ply means that the plant is being made
to do more work than normal. He says:
"It must be remembered, however, that
in doing this the plant is living beyond
its means, and sooner or later there
must be reckoning which may prove
disastrous. The plant responds to the
ether treatment just as it would to any
other irritating influence, and the effect
in the end must be the same as when an
extra stimulus is present-namely, in
creased energy for the time. followed by
collapse and death if the matter is car
ried far enough In cases Of bulbs and
woody plants, where there is more OF
less stored energy in the form Of food
material, etherizing might work to ad
vantage in starting growth. This seems
to have been the line of work carried
ON by the Danish investigator. From
the report of Consul Kirk, however, the
conclusions have not been very definite. "

also for the beekeeper. For this pur-
pose nothing is better than the shade of
tree. This keeps the sun OF and at
the same time allows the air to cirou-
late freely IN all directions. a free cir
culation of air is important, Tor there
is such thing as too great heat even IN
a dense shade. One year an Iowa bee
keeper had Oh one side of I'll apiary

under trees whose shade was 30 dense

yet the combs melted down with the
heat in some of the hives. They prob
ably would have suffered less with the
heat if the sun had shone upon them
with full force, providing there had
been free circulation of air. This bee
keeper, writing in the Iowa Homestead.
says:
Scarcely anything could be more
grateful than the wide spreading old
apple tree, and on most places some
few hives it is just as well to have
them scattered about with no regular
order. Indeed, the bees will find their
own hives better than if in very straight
rows. Trees are not always to be had
at "a moments notice, and something
must be had at once. Some kind Of
vines may be had within "a few weeks,
and some have made use Of grapevines,
which can be grown large enough In
few years On the whole, however,
they seem not to have been entirely sat
isfactory in the hands of those who
have tried them.
A roof of boards some five or six feet
high is good but rather expensive.
Merely for the benefit of the bees, a
shade board may be made for each hive.
Take two boards six inches or a foot
longer than the hives, and u foot wide.
Bevel an edge of each so they will fit
together roof shaped, with pitch of
about two inches to the foot. Nail the
two together, then at the gable ends

and your roof is complete.
Here is plan easily managed on any
farm: Take small armful of fresh cut
grass (lopg and coarse is the best); put
ON top Of the hive cover, projecting well
to the south side; lay upon this TO an
chor 1t down two or three small sticks
of firewocd, and you have a shade that
will last through the season and be
good.
For the benefit OF the beekeeper when
working in the hot sun very large
umbrella may be used, having fastened

driven into the ground. Another way
is 20 haye four slender iron rods some
six feet long, sharpened ut the lower

has been found that In some cases,
where clover has been cooked quite

of caps and allowed to stand for some

1t is of opinion that there is no possi-
BILE treatment Of the seed that will pro
tect the plants growing from it from
the attacks of rust. Furthermore, that
the notion that rust shriveled seed can
be sown with as good results as pump
seed is erroneous. OF the many practi-
cal details which have been demonstrat-
ed experimentally as calculated to di-
minish the prevalence of rust, the confer
ence emphatically recommends THAT
seed wheat be allowed to ripen fully
and be carefully stripped or thrashed;
that seed wheat be graded, and the
larger and heavier grains selected for

There are farmers who cut their tim

the columns OF The Rural New Yorker,
there is little To commend the prac tice.

ty, y. Y, says:

more than two inches from the ground.
The stalks of timothy shrink Very much
in curing, and unless bound yery tight

being handled. II bound sufficiently
tight, the green grass would take a long
time to dry out, and the outside would
suffer from weathering before the In

to cut timothy for hay, if for home

when expecting to sell the hay, until

but little bottom" that It might be
cut and bound and made into fair hay,
but even then the expense Of twine for
tying the bundles would be too much
to make the practice commendahle.
l like to put timothy, when thor
oughly wilted, into good sized cocks,
and let 1t do most of its curing while In
these cocks, as hay cut green and so
cured will be greener. brighter, sweeter
and more palatable and digestibie than
that allowed to get more mature before
cutting am aware that the weight of
hay cut from the same ground. when

standing to mature stage. and as the
market calls for this ripper hay II rs pol
icy to let it stand when to be sold, bat
when to be put into the "home market"

growing stock is in favor of early cut
ting.
