EFFECT OF WATER ON PLANTS
Kentucky Wonder Beans Thrive Sur
prisingIy While Small Bed OF
Cannas Were Failure.

Last summer | undertook to keep
alive small bed of cannas, made by
laying down the tire from the
front wheel of wagon, says
writer in the Florist. In another por-
ton of the garden eight hills Of Ken
lucky wonder beans were planted late
in the summer in a circle about four
feet in diameter. Eight superannu-
ated sunf1ower stalks nine to ten feet
tall were tied together by their tops
to act as supports. An old can filled
with fine, well-rotted manure and wa
tered every other day was sunk in the
center of the circle The beans ran to
the top of their supports and until
frost came yielded a very liberal sup
ply for a small family.
In the case of the cannaS several
barrels of water and countless adjec-
tives were used. In the case of the
beans a pailful every other day. On
this plan | have no patent and none
applied for, nor expectations of re-
ward of any kind. Without cost, 1t
will save labor, plants and adjectives.
Some critic might suggest that the
beans were planted rather close to-
gether. So they were, but the garden
soil was rich and strong. Besides this,
they were of the "close communion"
type in a Baptist garden. 1t was wa
ter that saved them.

Artificial Lakes.

A German investigator has found
that the large artificial lakes formed
for irrigation purposes or to supply
water for large cities, are not with
out influence on the climate of the sur
rounding locality. In one instance
that came under his notice, there has
been during the ten years since the
dam was constructed and the lake
formed, a decrease of IL degree Fab
renheit in the average monthly differ
ence between maximum and minimum
temperatures. In the neighborhood
OF another lake the number of foggy
DAYS has increased from the average
of fifty-seven each year to eighty-six
The German investigator says that
this increase can be assigned to no
other cause than the creation of the
great artificial lake and the conse-
quent increased evaporation in the 10.

Conditions in Japan.

That the old customs of Japan are
passing away and the empire is rapid
ly becoming civilized and, more SLOW
ly, Christianized, Is not borne out by
the fact, for the dark side of Japan is
turned aside by those who visit there.
A writer in the Missionary intelligen-
Ger of Cincinnati, long a resident in
Fukushima, says: 'Idolatry still pre-
walls. The tenacity with which they
cling to the family gods in some
homes supposed to be Christian shows
that idolatrous customs have a strong
hold on them Here in Japan the di-
yorce rate Is three times as high as IN
America, and then not all the separa-
tions are counted. The people are
woefully addicted to the use of liquor
and tobacco. All the grocery stores
keep the stuff All the cars are smo-
kers. When We ride in the train We
are stifed by the tobacco smoke. A
lot of women smoke as well as the
men. There Is much drunkenness.
Japan also heads the list of nations In
regard to the number of suicides"

healthy growth rather than forcing
the growth of the trees by the use of
manures and fertilizers rich in nitro
gen. In some rare instances the soil
may be deficient In plant food. and
the intelligent use of mineral plant
foods will prove very beneficial.
1t is when the orchards begin to
produce large crops of fruit that the
demands for plant food must be met
il profitable crops of superior fruit
are secured. At this time the roots
of the trees have taken possession OF
practically all of the soil, and have
utilized the larger portion of the
available plant food so that the ad-
dition Of manure or fertilizer is es-
sential
The function of the soil in furnish
ing the trees with nourishment is an
exceedingly complex one, and there
are certain well-defined laws that
must be kept in mind for Improvement
and maintenance of the fertility of
the soil that is occupied by the trees.
Some orchardists advocate sod mulch,
others depend upon cultivation and
the liberal use of fertilizers and barn
manures, others cover crops and min
eral fertilizers as a means of improv-
ing and maintaining the fertility OF
orchard soils.
The fact that no two soils required
the same line of treatment has caused
a confusion of ideas in the manage
ment of orchard soils.

One of DR.. Campbell's pet schemes
is the Building and Loan Association,
which several young men have already
established and built sanitary cabins
for themselves and wives.

Young trees planted in an old or

This is largely for the reason that
young trees need different care from
old ones. and also because the young
trees will hardly receive as much sun

shade they will get from the older
trees.
