Sir Arthur Mitchell. however. an emil

thorities that there Is absolutely no

writer In the British Medical Journal
sums up the matter In part rs fol

Many persons when awakened from

that person. when the sleep ends, may

his theory the author cannot be- said
to be very convincing nor from the na
turc OF his subject Is II possible that
he could be. Several rcsolutc obseTy-
crs had FOR a considerable time scarce
ly ever failed To ask themselves Inn

dreamed or not and they nearly always
got a satisfactory affirmative answer.
In many such cases the details Of the

GuesswOrk vs.. Experimentation.

The Iowa Homestead says that Il
Nebraska farmer doubts the advisable
ity of detasSeling corn as a means for
eliminating barren stalks. He thinks
that when one is able to detect the
barren stalk the mischief is already
done and he thinks that it is possible
that this is natures way of reinvigorat-
ing the stock by releasing that plant
from seed bearing. and that detaSsel-
ing corn is all guesswork. Now, the
fact is that the Nebraska mans talk
is all guesSWork while the detaSseling
has been the subject of accurate and
painStaking experiment. It has been
shown that in patch grown for seed,
in which every alternate row was de-
tasseled so that the pollen to set the
ears of that row was obliged to come
from other plants. and thus prevent
Standardization, the seed corn saved
from the detasseled rows made an in
creaced yield of ten to fifteen bushels
per acre oevr corn not so treated. 1t
has also been shown that careful tax
ing out of the asSels from the barren
stalks has, year by year, greatly de-
creased the number of these barren
stalks. and hence has increased the
yield Lack of care in this respect,
and guesswork like that of the Ne
braska farmer, will increase the num-
Der of barren stalks. We once went
into a field of corn of magnificent
growth on q very fertile piece of land,
and by actual count of number OF
rows found that nearly so per cent.
of the stalks had no ear on them, and
that a piece Of land which should
easily make rs bushels of corn per
acre would probably make 80. because
of careless seed selection. Natures
wav of reinvigorating plants Is by
cross-pollination, and the viSor of the
corn plant is largely kept up in this
way. for corn does very little OF self
fertilization. since the pollen is borne
high above the pistis and more is
blown by the wind to other plants than
falls directly on the silks OF the same
plant This can readily be seen by Cd
serving a solitary corn stalk standing
alone at distance from any other.
Ii will never make perfect ear De
cause of the fact that nature avoids
self fertilization and only few grams
on the cob will be set by pollen that
falls direct. There is not the slight
est difficulty in finding the barren
stalks before the pollen is ripe.

The heavy weights are comparing
notes now that summer is on. Here's
story from Mr.. H. B. Tatum:
Before / went to Kelley 1 had been
in the habit of drinking so long, and
it had got such a hold on me, that
when ] would try to stop | was sick
and could not eat; SO | would get
some more to taper off with. Before
/ could get off | would be on again,
and finally decided to go to the Kelley
Institute at Greensboro, n. c., for
treatment. The manager and attend
ants treated me so nicely that l soon
felt at home, and really enjoyed my
four weeks stay in the Institute. The
treatment built me up WCndfully,

every other man who drinks to excess.
have made more by going to Kelley
than it cost me. and if | had kept on
drinking it might have cost me my
life.
My advice to every one who is adj
dioted to the liquor habit is to go to
Kelley and build up his health, and
quit the stuff before it is too late.
Some may say they can quit at home,
but when they try it they find it hard
to do; so hard in fact that most men
give up defeated, and go on in the
same old rut making it always deeper.
The Kelley Treatment makes the
struggle easy, and it puts man just
where he was before he took his first
drink, with the exception that he now
knows the evil of the habit, and can
and ought to guard against the first
drink hereafter. II. Il. TATUM.

kceping Potatoes i'm a Warm Climate.

The Country Gentleman advises a

Will keep potatoes in a warm climate,
without SprOuting. This is true so far
as the early crop that is dug in June
is concerned. But the Southern farm
er has the advantage in the fact that
from these early potatoes he can grow
late crop and dig it in December, and
this late crop will keep unsprouted far
longer than the potatoes in the North
crn cellars. In fact we can keep the
early crop until Christmas in our cool
cellar, by shutting out all light and
all ventilation in day time and opening
freely TO the night air. Mr.. Grabs, OF
North Carolina, has told heretofore in
The Practical Farmer how he keeps
apples n long time after their usual
season by this night air treatment. We
have eaten Baldwin apples out of his
cellar about the middle of August.

and Bonum apples that usually are

can easily be applied to the keeping
of potatoes The second crop potatoes
grown in the South will keep un-
sprouted in a cool cellar till May.

For the respondents the argument

it had not been shown that they were

they were mere partisanS over-zealouS

meantime all the land that had borne
crops Of sweet potatoes and other
truck the summer before was living
bare and exposed to the teaching eff
fects of the winter rains in a very
mild climate and was really losing
more than it lost in the summer crop
ping. Fertilizers had been literally
used on the truck crops the season
before, and much had doubtless been
left ir the soil to be washed out and
lost in the winter. All of this bare
land could have been covered with
crimson clover and crop would have
been there to turn under in the spring
that would have been worth ten times
as much as the coating of pine leaves
that were being so laboriously raked
up and hauled and spread, for the
clover would have caught and held
the fertility that was being so labo-
rously raked up and hauled and
spread, for the clover would have
caught and held the fertility that was
being washed from the unfroZen soil
all winter and would also have been
acquiring some nitrogen from the air
TO HELM the crop. The pine leaves act
merely IN q mechanical way to keep
the soil loose for the potatoes, but they
really add little to the soil except in
increasing the humus, which can be
more eHScllNCly uOile anu uOIle IlOlC
cheaply by growing winter cover
crop of crimson clover, which in that
climate can be sOwn as late as the
first of November, if necessary. This
practice of leaving the land bare in
winter has done more harm to the
Southern soils than all the cropping
that has been done, and one of the
most important things for the South
ern farmer to learn is the value of
green crop of some sort on the land
during the winter. Even rye is better
than nothing, though rye will only
serve to arrest the loss of nitrates
from the soil, and will not get any
more from the air, like clover But it
can be grown on soils where the clover
will not thrive, and will at least pre-
vent loss. Even in the more Northern
sections where it is common to sec
the corn fields left bare for oats in the
spring. a cover of rye would prove of
great value. The thoughtful farmer
in any section will try to avoid bare
land in winter, and it can be avoided
anywhere.
