CROSS-FERTiLlZATION
The More Certain Method of Science
Which Is Improving the Quail
ity of Cereals.

Within recent years new varieties
Of wheat have been produced by cross
fertilizing. Most Of the varietius of
wheat produced by nature have been
produced by cross-fertiliZation acct
dentally obtained. 1t has taken nature
a long time to produce a few good
varieties. Our scientists who have
taken hold of the matter by pol eniz-
ing varieties with a pollen from other
strong varieties, have been able to
outstrip nature in the work of prdduc-
ing good varieties. The evolution Of
the wheat plant is thus taken out of
the domain of chance and introduced
into the domain of science. Under the
old regime a good variety was lore
likely to be ~pollenized by a poor vari-
ETY. than otherwise. because poor va
rieties are more numerous than good
varieties. Man, however. is able to
combine the good qualities of the
strongest cereals and by selecting the
best Of their progeny get immediate
results. There are to-day 40 or so
varieties Of wheat that have been thus
created. Such varieties have longer
heads, heavier grain and produce
larger yields per acre than the old
varieties and are at the same time
better able to stand adverse condition.
Within the next rs years, says the
Farmers Review, W. shall see the sci
ence of wheat growing develop greatly,
with the result Of more fully using the
land devoted to wheat growing. Hard
wheats will be evolved for use on the
semi-arid lands, while softer wheats
resistant to fungous diseases will be
produced for humid localities.

Usually. when a tree is girdled, 1t is
economy to dig it up and plant an
other in its place, but occasionally, if
a tree is valuable, it may pay to try
to save 1t. If so, the following meth

Ii Takes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system rum
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.

tilizer on each row, and the cotton
seeds were taken from my planting
seeds. the dead seed were killed
with boiling water. The same
amount of dead seed and green seed
were used. None of the dead seed
came up. / am sure that all the
green seed did come up.
The oil was mixed with about one
peck of soil and distributed along
the row just as / did the other .:erti-
lizers. I do not doubt but that it
was good oil. 1t was furnished graf
uitously for the experiment by WI.
Oliver, of Shellman. The cotton
seed meal was taken from lot which
! had on hand to mix my fertilizer.
Perhaps it is necessary for me to
say here that the ground, which was
very thin, was thoroughly prepared.
1t was broken as deep as 4 horses
could pull Canton disk plow. The
corn did not suffer for rain. 1t had
all it needed.
From the experiment I drew the
following conclusion:
First, That the row fertilized with
cotton seed meal, I made at the rate
of 30 bushels per acre.
Second, That on the row fertilized
with dead seed / made at the rate of
% bushels of corn per acre.
Third, That on the row not ferti-
lized l made at the rate of 81 bushels
of corn per acre.
Fourth, That on the row fertilized
with cotton seed oil I made at the
rate Of 18 bushels of corn per acre.
Fifth, That on the row fertilized
with green seed I made only ii
bushels of corn.
Sixth, That cotton seed oil is detri-
mental to the crop. That it may
contain plant food, at the same time
it is poisonous to the crop and, con-
tains more poison than plant. food.
The land will make more without it,
therefore cotton seed oil should not
be used. dl3i ,t
Seventh, That as soon as cotton
seed sprouts, the young cotton plants
begin to feed, from the inside, oraker-
mel, aud continue to feed very rapidly
from the kernel until the plant food
in the seedis consumed, when it be-
gins to feed from. the adjacent soil,
thereby consuming plant food that
should go to make corn. Also, that
cotton stalks growing in and among
the corn, is just as injurious as other
weeds, and more corn can be, made
without them than with them, there
fore, green cotton seeds that ,germi-
nate and come up are nuisance and
should not be used.

of his death. 1t is as follows:
81 will die some of these days-I
don't know when, but God only
knows how long man can stand the
strain. / really and actually haven't
had a day of uninterrupted rest in
twenty-seven years. I haven't gone
off on a single pleasure trip in TWEEN.

toiled, and oon't know how long a
man can stand it, but some of these
days / am going to be brought home
by friends-maybe on cot in Pull
man car. l will be kindly taken
from the cot and brought to my
home. IfiGod will let me have my
way about it, / don't want to die
away from home. I don't want to
fall off of platform and die. I
would come home alive, and then in
the quietude of my home, If God will
whisper to me and say, q will leave
you ten days here at home,' / would
look up and say, 4 am grateful for
these ten days, Father, as I can be-
andI would make my children come
fromthe four quarters of the earth
and cit around me every day, and I
wouldisay, Children, hear father in
his last moments. The divine bless
ings, Of Christ have been all the world
tome. He has kept me and blessed
me, and He is your best friend and
can do more for you than anybody
else. Stay by the Lord Jesus Christ,
love and serve Him every day.
( "And then I would want to sit
Iahours every day. and talk to wife
about the hereafter and the ohildren's
future, and what to do and what not
to do; every day that God let me stay
would talk and listen. Some night,
