Mushroom Erect on Plants.


The author of New York Cornell
station bulletin carried on an investi-
CATION to determine whether the sub
stance of various feshy fungi could be
used as food to any extent by green
plants in either an undecomposed con-
dition or when partly or completely de-
composed by bacteria or fungi.
In the spring of 1905 some prelimi-
nary experiments were conducted with
the common mushroom (Agaricus cam
prestis) as source of plant food for
corn, beans, peas and buckwheat In
the winter and spring Of 1906 these ex-
periments were repeated with better
control. The plants were grown in
quartz sand, and the mushroom mate
rial was used fresh in an unfermented
condition in some of the pots, while in
others il was fermented. Wheat, buck
wheat, corn, sunfower and radishes
were planted In the different pots. II
was found that the stronger fermented
substance produced the richest color
and tailest plants followed by the
weaker strength OF fermerted materi-
al, while the check plants were the
smallest and poorest in color An ex-
animation of photographs taken of the
growing plants showed a constancy In
the curve Of growth for the different
kinds of plants corresponding TO tho
nature Of the material supplied.
Experiments were also carried on
with pure cultures with agar-agar as a
substratum, and the results were in the
main comparable with those described
above.
The author states. In conclusion, that
the experiments show that portion OF
the substance of the common mush-
room, and probably Of all the Basidi-
myctes. may become available as food
for autotrophic green plants, and TIA.
the decomposition products of hetero-
phic plants form a nearly perfect food
for autotrophic ones.

Zig Feeding Test.

That pigs must be accustomed to
eating shelled corn before they will
do we'll on it was proven in an expert
ment just concluded by Prof. William
DIETRICH, Of the Illinois Experiment
Station. The pigs used in the test
were sold on the Chicago market. There
were sixty-fve herd In the entire lot,
forty-nine of which had been used in
the aforementioned feeding test. They
sold at $6.2j.
This is the fifth experiment In n
series which Prof. DIETRICH is conduct
Ing with the aim Of establishing a new
feeding standard. These pigs were fed
corn meal, middlings and tankage, with
clover hay. The pigs were weaned at
months old, when the feeding began.
and continued for six months, making
them S months old when sold. In this
test when the pigs were weaped, in
stead of feeding them corp meal, they
were given shelled corn ID their slop
They We're fed this way for three weeks.
but didn't 10 so well, so the shelled
corn was dropped and the corn meal
added. Prof. DIETRICH says they lost
from eighty to ninety pounds gain by
giving shelled corn. They did not mas
ticate it thoroughly and it hurt their
digestion. He says it showed that corn
meal was necessary TO the ration TO di-
lutte the middlings and tankage and
more equally distribute the protein.
Otherwise they did not all get an equal
share, some eating more than others.
In previous tests pigs have been made
TO average $50 pounds at months, as
compared with III pounds of the pres
ent one. which shows the effect of feed
ing shelled corn.

evoiution), no potato bug has been
anything but a sand-bur bug.
When the Spaniards invaded Mexico,
in 1919, they introduced horses. and as
the conquerors went north the sand
bur plants multiplied in regions where
they had never been seen before, and
the sand-bur beetle followed them.
From these migratory beetles descend
ed the present Colorado beetle, which
was first recognized as a new species
In the 18th or 18th century but even
up to 1923 it still lived ON the wild
sand-bur, and was not abundant or
troublesome. With the western move
ment of civilization, however, the sand
bur beetle and Irish potatoes were
brought in contact, and it was not long
before the beetle decided in favor OF
the potato stalks as against the fare
furnished by the sand-bur. He began
to be potato bug, and so rapidly did
he thrive upon his new nourishment
that inside of 40 years he was known
and execrated everywhere in the Unit
&c States and Canada.

SHOT BY ARMY OFFICER.
Letters Written in Past Few Days
 Found in Victims Pocket.

New York, Aug 17.-The arraign- ment of Captain Peter c. Hains, Jr, U. s. A., who shot and killed Will liam E. Annis, advertising manager of Recreation and Burr McIntosh's Monthly, on the landing float of the Bayside Yacht club at Bayside, L. l., was postponed until to-day at Long Island City. Similar action was taken in the case of Thornton J. Hains, brother of Peter c. Hains, amateur yachtsman and author, who held the society crowd at bay with a drawn revolver while the captain &C., complished his work of vengeance. The two, men were removed to Long Island City from the Flushing police station, where they had spent the night in separate cells. and were at once taken before Magistrate Smith. Both brothers appeared absolutely unperturbed and neither showed any trace of the uncomfortable night spent in jail. They showed some em- barrassment while being subjected to the indignity of having handcuffs placed upon them, but soon regained their equanimity.
 The killing took place on Satur- day afternoon. Captain Hains holds Annis responsible for wrecking his home during his absence on duty in the Philippines. The announcement in the spring that a divorce was pending caused a scandal in many circles.
 Among the new developments in the case was the discovery made yes terday that Annis had received sev- eral threatening letters within the past few days. These letters, ac- cording to Annis's fellow club mem- bers of the Bayside Yacht club. were found in Annis's pockets after his death by Harvey Rockville, who had been the dead mans most intimate friend, and were turned over to Dis trict Attorney Darrin.

 Norfolk-Wilbur Baker, 22 years old, of No 665 Tenth avenue, New York. was probably fatally injured yesterday by falling out of a car riage and sustaining severe injuries to his head. He was brought to the Hartford hospital for an operation, and while no fracture of the skull was discovered his condition was ex- tremely serious. Baker was one of a party of campers atsNorfolk, and has a mother in New York city, who was notified last night of her sons condition. ~>i
 Glastonbury-A party of five men, three officers and two assistants, re- gently made a raid on a hut in the woods on the Nipsic road, occupied by man and woman, who, report said, were selling liquor unlawfully The teams were left some distance from the hut, in charge of two men and the officers after reconnoitering approached the house and found on- ly the man and woman who have been occupying it. A search was made of the bundles which the man had jus: brought from Hartford, but no liquor was found When the man was asked if he had any liquor he | co{d 1roc he rafters produced a bottle of gin from which he took a good drink himself, to show that 1t was all right, and then offered 1t to the others.
 Tolland-John Zett, who is con- fined in jail awaiting trial on the charge of murder, is improving rap idly, although the fractured ribs con- tinue 10 give him a little trouble, as their mending is slow. The wounds on Zett's head made by the sledge hammer used by the son in defending himself, are practically | able to remove the bandages. Zett's wounds healing so quickly indicate that he must have been in fairly good physical condition. Zett eats three square meals a day and sleeps well. The fare seems to agree with him, as he is gaining in flesh. AL fred Say, his keeper during the day, travels back and forth from Rock vile to Holland on his wheel. It takes three-quarters of an hour to make the trip over, on account of tn" | hills, but he comes back in less than half hour.
