A Plague of Clocks.

At the end of the year that hatchet-
faced man came back and exacted his
money with enormous interest, al
though father had not yet sold a single
clock.
Years later. when we set out to
cross the great plains, those old clocks.
with but a single one missing, took up
more than half the wagon space. We
hauled them from Indiana almost to
the TOP of the Rocky Mountains. and
then, one night, in a terrific snow
storm, when the wagon had upset, we
found a use for them. Brass, wood,
glass and varnish all went to feed a
fire. And so peace to their sounding
brass. rest to their brazen faces!

Realizing that the Improvement or
corn is matter Of concern to every
agricultural practitioner, because OF the
wide adaptabiity and general cultiya-
ton of the cereal, the Virginia Agricul--
turll Experiment Station has publish
ed in bulletin Of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments in that field.
In a general introduction the bulletin
says:
Investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant is quickly affected
by the environment In which 1t Isl
placed and yields readily to selection,
so that the way for improvement is
open to all who will make a systematic
study of this important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development of numberless sor
called varieties or strains. and 1t Is
manifestely impossible to effect perma-
nent improvement in any Of these with
out first understanding their individual
peculiarities and the good and bad
points possessed by each.
Conservation leans to the belief that
the ndscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde-'
sirable varieties and the thousands of
useless individuals is waste of time
and that more permanent good can be-
effected by making a basic study Of va
rieties, rejecting all those that do not
reach definite standard, and then pro-
ceeding to Systematically improve
those that seem worthy Of extended
consideration

When coarse stable manure is plow-

In the soil and manure to cause its
fermentation, 1t Immediately begins to
furnish food for crops. 1t does this
all the better in early spring. as the
manure under the furrow holds it up
and admits warm air from above.
which Is just what is required to cause
active fermentation. The release of
ammonia as the manure ferments en-
riches all the soil above It, as the con-
slant tendency to warm air is to rise.
Hence there is good reason for apply
ing manure as top dressing during the
winter on land that is to be plowed or
hoed for crops in the spring.
