Plant Growth and Mo,s,ure

Professor Spillman, OF the Wash.
lngton station, writes that through
every growing plant a stream of water
IL constantly flowing. This stream
begins at the roots and spreads up
ward to the leaves, being lost by evan.
Grafton from the surface of the leaves.
The life of the plant depends upon
this stream. 1t brings the plant its
food, and the amount of food the
plant can obtain depends, among other
things, upon the amount of water that
must flow up through n plant and out
at its leaves for each pound of growth
produced i'll the plant. 1t has been
found that to produce one ton of dry
matter equivalent to one and one.
sixth tons of ordinary hay there must
pass up through the plant into the air
223 to 912 tons of water.
The dryer tie atmosphere, the more
wind there is, the higher these fig
ures, other things being equal. As
Stunning, then, that, in this country
the amount is 500, which is not far
from correct, this means that to pro-
duce one ton of nay on one acre re.
quires 43O tons of water, equivalent
to 3.S inches of rainfall, or irrigation
water enough to cover the ground 3. 7
inches deep. And this takes no ac-
count of the water lost by percola-
ton into the soil and by evaporation
from the soil surface.
Professor King, of the Wisconsin
Station, found that in sixty four days
well-tilled summer fallow lost by
evaporation water equivalent to 1924
inches in rainfall, or 81 pound of
water per day from each square foot
OF surface. of we take the average
daily loss from the soil at only %
pound per square foot, from May LIST
TO September 1st," says he, "this
would be equivalent to 5.27 inches of
rain. l am sure it will do no one
harm to know how much water crop
really needs; this knowledge ought
to be specially valuable to men who
pay for water by the inch"
IT we could entirely prevent evap-
Grafton of water except from the plant
itself, we could, on an average, pro
ducc five tons of hay with nineteen
inches of water-enough to cover the
ground nineteen inches deep. The
amount of water used in irrigated
countries is usually about fifty inches.
We thus see that crops use little more
than one-third of the water applied TO
them under irrigation. Where rain
must be depended upon, the proper
ton is much smaller, for rainfall does
not come to order, but much of it
comes Mt n time when it cannot be
utilized before it has had time to get
away into the soil and air.
Experiments have demonstrated
that crops make the largest growth
when the amount of moisture i'm the
soil is between forty and sixty per
cent. of the total amount it can hold.
some crops, Of course, requiring moro
than others. The effort Of thesfarmer
should therefore be TO maintain this
amount Of moisture in the soil.

(Bohemio) aged 81. 1t was to her in

at Marieabad and Carlsbad, he first met
baroness Won Levetzow, who was then
only a girl of IS, though endowed with
every charm OF mind and body. She
never married, her life being devoted

There are many apple trees that
bear from one-third to one-half a crop
every year, the portions being barren
alternately, so that the tree is never
entirely barren. This is apt to be
the case where different varieties are
grated on the same tree, and especial
ly if the grating is done in alternate
years. In other cases cold storms or
frost in the early life of the tree de-
stroyed the fruit at blossoming time
on the exposed side of the tree, and
as in the years that full crop is pro
duced on the limbs in bearing there is
little chance for fruit buds to be
formed ON those parts of the tree and
the habit of bearing alternate years
formed by accident becomes fully es-
tablished

When youngster OF ten years I
was visited by plague OF warts. From

took me off to a quiet spot under
willow tree. from which he cut num-
Der of small branches. and these he cut
again into little bits of an inch in
length. making a notch in each one
and this notch he set down over each
wart. having at last a collection OF
forty or more of these little notchcd
sticks. These he put into his pocket.

Feeding Rotten POTATOES.

AS an experiment two lots of fowls
were fed on sound and unsound pota
toes, the result being that the hens
that were fed on rotted potatoes that
had sprouted became sick, some
dying. This is due to au active and
poisonous substance existing in such
potatoes, known as "solanum," the
symptoms being that the poisoned
bird sits on the ground, with its head
down, and so remains until it dies.
Do not feed rotten potatoes to fowls,
therefore, or even sound ones that
are sprouted, aud, in fact, do not use
such potatoes yourself.

Al Ugly Tale.

In probate court Saturday testi-s
mony was taken on the petition OF
John Tnzenski to enforce his guar
dianship of bis niece, Frances Witte,
u years old, on the ground that the
child was being badly treated by her
etepmother. Mrs. Jacob Witte. With
whom she lived.
When Jacob Witte died, not long
ago, he left the girl, his child by q
former marriage, in the care of his
widow. The testimony showed that
the little girl was inhumanly treated
being beaten, made to 20 without
food, forced to sleep in a dry goods
box. etc. Mr.. Tuzenski was appoint
ed guardian shortly after Mr.. Whites
death, but Mrs. White refused to give
him the child. Mrs. Witte was found
in the city and finally promised to
let the child 20. Deputy Sheriff Tour
tillote went out and got the little
girl and turned her over to her
guardian.
