none the worse for it, but during the
separation that particular branch win
outgrow the others both in foliage and

DlSAGREEABLY AGREEABLE.
Young Man Was There with tho
Oily Approval to Nauseat-

A story told of the late James F. Joy
weak in his likes or dislikes, and among
the things that he dearly. liked were
honesty and naturalness. The attempt to
appear what one were not was to antag-

Mr.. JOY had many positions at bis dis
rosal, and an applicant for one of them
came with gilt-edged credentials. The
young, man presenting them was of good
appearance, finely educated, and the son
Of one whom the fnancier had respected
fol years. Wise as to his tongue the youth
would have . swalkover.
The older man purposely engaged tue
younger in conversation. The latter re
piled in smooth sentences, delivered in
dulcet tones. Mr.. Joy would make a
statement carrying an opinion, and there
would be unctuous approval from his
caller. This got on to the nerves of
the sturdy old gentleman. He advanced
ar opinion Numerically opposed to the
one delivered but q few sentences be-
fore. The youth was right there with
his oily approval. The railroad magnate
wondered how far it would 60, and put
the test:
Don't you think that this is a much

AcIDlTY OF PLANT ROOTS.
Experiments in. Italy Which Go to
Prove ap Old Accepted Theory
Among Agricultural Students.

It has long been question as to
the manner in which plant roots take
up food from the soil. The very great
rapidly i with which plants grow
would seem to indicate that the root
Of each plant exudes some kind Of an
acid that. has the power to set free
latent plant food. This has been so
firmly believed that 1t has become an
accepted tenet with many agricultural
students, says the Farmers Review. 1t
will be interesting to many Of these to
learn that experimenters in Italy have
demonstrated beyond all question that
the tip Of the root does exude an acid.
It was found in Italy that when blue lit
mus paper was placed in contact with
the points Of the roots Of sugar beets
the paper at the point where it came in
contact with the roots changed to a red
color. This could be due to nothing less
than the diffusion of an acid. It's present
value in agriculture is considerable, as
1t gives us some information relative
to the availability Of plant food in tho
soil. t. 3,s&s ssSG3, - ~
