TRANSFORMATION ON FARMS.

The improvement of domestic ami
mais by judicious breeding methods
is no new thing During the last 100
years the evolu' ion Of farm animals
by the method of car eful selection
has produced results which would not
have been accomplished in 1000 years
by the process of natural selection.
But it is only a matter of compara-
lively recent date that 1t has come to
be understood that plants of every
kind can be rapidly developed and i'm
proved by wisely directed breeding
methods.
It may be fairly be predicated how
ever, that by selection of seed and by
crossing methods which are now un-
defstocd the business of agriculture is
gradually being revolutionized
Pretty much everybody has read of
the achievements of Burbank in the
development of useful plants. But
there are other workers along the
same line who are accomplishing al
most equally wonderful results.
One of these is Willett NJ. Hayes,
who is now assistant secretary of ag-
riculture His achievements have been
in The breeding of timothy. wheat and
other field crops.
OF his success in this branch of
farm crop development recent mag
azine article declares that twenty
years ago he has demonstrated by the
methods which he has devised that
he is able to increase standard varie.
ties of wheat 10. 20 and even 25 per
cent; since then he has been equally
successful in increasing the yields OF
other crops.
His unique methods have, in fact,
been developed into system with

THE TRUE NATURE
OF GERMS, OR BACTERIA

AS usual thing. when bacteria OF
germs are mentioned, we arc apt to
think of them as something to be
dreaded and something from which
no good could ever possibly come.
This mistaken idea has arisen largely
from the fact that our attention has
been repeatedly called TO this phase
of germ life and nothing has ever
been said about the immense benefits
which we derive from il. Magazine .
and newspaper advertisements have
been responsible for many of the
wrong impressions about micro-organ-
isms, for they have published illus
trations in connection with adyer-
tisements for water filters. patent
medicines and the like, in which they
have pictured bacteria as miniature
sea serpents, possessing thousands OF
wriggling legs, lashing tails, g inning
jaws, mouths full of teeth and pro.
truding fangs. Granted that the av-
erage reader knows better than this
these pictures do have their Influence
Once and for always lei ii be here
stated. for the benefit of those who
may have been misinformed as to the
| correct nature of bacteria, that they
are not animals. but minute plants
so small that 1t would take twenty
five thousand of some of them, placed
end to end, to make one inch. When
viewed under n powerful microscope,
we can see that germs possess, in
general, three different forms, name
ly, cylindrical, like a capsule, spheri-
cal, like ball. and spiral, like a cork
screw.
In addition to these three forms
which are known as vegetative forms,
and which correspond to the leaves
and stems of higher plants. some bao-
terra produce tiny elllptical or spheri.
cal bodies within their vegetative cells
These bodies are known us spores and
serve the same purpose as the seeds
of flowing plants, namely, to carry
the germ through critical period
and to reproduce the species upon the
return OF favorable conditions.
Although plants, many of them can
swim about in water and milk and
the body fluids of animals as actively
as II they were little fish. They are
able to accomplish this by means OF
very delicate thread-like appendages
attached to the sides or ends of their
bodies. These swimming organs are
known as flagella.
The growth and multiplication of
bacteria are very simple and rather
rapid processes. AS soon as a germ
reaches maturity. it divides In the
middle and becomes two germs in
much the same way as you would
separate two halves OF a capsule. I'm.
der favorable conditions, this division
takes place about once in about every
twenty minutes. so that II you have
one newly formed germ at the present
moment, you will have two similar to
this one In twenty minutes from now
four In forty minutes, and eight after
one hour. At this rate of increase.
