BUCKWHEAT AS
A CATCHCROP
Takes About Sixty Days to Ripen
and Yields 10 to 10 Bushels
per Acre-By e. 8. KecEey.

We sometimes lose our seeding in
the oats or wheat and rather than re-
seed we pillow the ground as soon
after the harvest as possible and SOW
to buckwheat. Buckwheat is an ex-
haustive crop, but 1 occasionally use
it to further my grass seeding plans.
/ have never failed in getting a good
catch of grass or clover, though
sometimes buckwheat fails in making
a good crop. When weeds grow in the
wheat stubble after harvest you may
be sure that the clover seed is gone.
1t takes only about 60 days for buck
wheat to grow and ripen. 1t will usu-
ally yield 10 to 20 bushels per acre,
so it pays well for the labor involved
and at the same time makes a fine
shade and protection for young grass
and clover sown at the same time
with buckwheat. / sow about three
pecks per acre, with $50 pounds of
phosphate. Much nitrogen is leached
through the soil IL there is not some
growing crop to preserve it. Buck
wheat consumes but a small amount
Of nitrogen, while the clover gathers
an abundance of this necessary ele-
ment.

CoIors of Eggs.

Mr.. A. R. Norwood of the Leicester
(England) museum remarks that the
colors of birds eggs can in a large
number of cases be traced to the ne
cessity of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees, or in dark
situations, like owls, woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs Of an
olive-green or brown color. The eggs
of grouse, ptarmigan and so forth re-
semble the heather amongst which
they are laid. Those Of the ringed
plover, little tern and oyster-catcher
resemble the sand and single of the
beach. The lapwing's eggs closely
simulate bare soil or dried bents. The
young chicks show similar 'protec-
tive" colors.

PARADISE FOR THE GRIZZLY

"Triangulation work, hooking up

carried on under great difficulties and

mer. 1t was not the danger of falling

grizzly paradise on earth. 1t was not
an uncommon experience to see as
many as six of these huge animals
every day. If our records are not per-
feet we will have to ascribe the
blame to the grizzlies"
This was the way ]. NJ. Bates OF OF

with the delimitation of the Alaska
boundary along the Iskoot river, a
tributary of the Stikine. He was in

Bates has had many adventures in the
north since he first began the delim-

he wounded a grizzly and in dash
for safety rolled down glacier with
the animal at his heels. Mr.. Bates es-
capped, but the bear was dashed to
death. Mr.. Bates added:
u. Sullivan Cochrane, a noted Bos-
ton naturalist and big game hunter,
had lively experience near our camp
this summer. He was seeking to pho

One day he snapped his camera on a
huge bear, when the animal charged
viciously. One of its paws hurled the
kodak into a ravine, while the other
cuffed the intruder. Just then his
guide fired, but not a moment too
soon. Three shots did the guide pump
into the grizzly, which staggered
about, made a plunge at the guide,

One of the principal costs in beet
cultivation is the hoeing and thinning
of sugar beets Numerous ideas have
been suggested, but none of them, ap-
parently, so satisfactorily accom-
plishes its purpose as the Bajac pneu-
matte bination, a plan and front
view of which is shown in the draw
ing herewith, says The Sugar Beet.
The first appliance constructed was
for hoeing and thinning. but later
there were many other combinations
for which it was found to be suited.
The main idea works very much on
the same principle as several types of
automatic hammers, a pump compress
sing the air into reservoir at a
pressure of six kilos per square C.
There are flexible pipes connecting
with the reservoir, and through these
the compressed air passes. At the
other end of the pipe is a piston;
rapid strokes follow in succession as
soon as the air circulates. There is,
as shown, an automobile of 12-horse
power, in which man is seated, be-
hind which may be a pillow or any
other implement needed, depending
upon the work to be done. The motor
of the automobile may be geared with
the air compressor placed in the back.
There is a safety valve and an auto
matte regulator, which begin working
as soon as the desired pressure is
reached The compressor is kept cool
by means Of circulating water 1t is to
be noted, says an expert, that dry air
taken at atmospheric pressure and at
Charlevoix county herald., 1909-12-18

that is convenient a two-pole switch
may be placed for the purpose of
opening the circuit and stopping the
bell, If necessary, when an alarm has
once been given.
1t is obvious that when the water
reaches lowest ebb, the weight w will
touch the plates A and G and COM
plete the circuit, providing the switch
is closed. Similarly, when the tank
is full, the weight w will touch plates
B and d and again the circuit is
closed.

An attachment on tank that fur
nishes the house with water is Of
much Importance and is easily ar
ranged. Just above the tank, as indi-
Gated in the sketch, two pulleys
should be suspended, over which the
cord runs which carries the float F,
and the weight W. The float in the
tank may be hollow copper ball or
a block of wood. The ball is perhaps
become waterlogged and thus will
change in specific gravity. At the
other end of the cord, hanging down
outside the tank. Is a weight. The
float must be heavier than the weight
so as to be able to fall in the tank
as the water falls. The float will be
pushed upward, and, therefore, the
weight downward by the buoyancy of
the water as it rises in the tank. BY
means of the pulleys, therefore, ard
the float the rising and falling of the
weight outside is assured.
For the electrical contact, outside
the tank wall two wooden brackets,
AC and BID, should be fastened at
such heights that when the tank is
full the weight w rests upon the low
er bracket, and when the tank is
empty the same weight will rise and
touch the under side of the upper
bracket. AS the brackets require to
project past the cord suspending the
weight hole or a slot should be cut
in the upper bracket to allow for the
movement of the cord On the under
side of the upper bracket two brass
or copper plates, A and c, are at
tached and similar ones, B and ID. on
the upper side of the lower bracket.
These plates are connected in pairs
by wires, S and T, S connecting A
tached and similar ones, B and ID, on
plates on each bracket should be, of
course, separate from one another, but
so placed that the weight at its high
est or lowest point may touch both
plates and thus bridge the gap be-
tween them and complete the circuit.
The weight should be of metal and
should be furnished, both above and
below, with points so placed that
these points will touch the plates. The
points will give better assurance Of
contact than broad surfaces would do,
since little dust adhering either to
the plates or to the weight would pre-
vent contact The wiring is done as
shown in the diagram, viz: BY run
ming a wire from either one of the
pair of plates A and B to the battery
q, and thence to one pole of the bell.
Another wire from either one of the
pair of plates CD to the other pole Of
the bell. In any part of the circuit

a temperature of 20 degrees c.. when
compressed at six kilos, will attain
temperature of 219 c. When the air
to be compressed is saturated with
watery vapor it's temperature at six
kilos pressure will not exceed 80 de-
grees c. The air reservoir Is placed
under the seat of the conductor.
In the engraving the three men In
front are completing the operation OF
hoeing and thinning. We can see In
this combination considerable changes
in future beet cultivation; contractors
could handle large areas at very low
cost and defy competition from hand
operation for the same kind Of work
