ALCOHOL HURTS THE MEMORY
Karl Vogt, Distinguished German
Naturalist, Gives Result CT Inter
estIns Experiments.

To the Medical Annual" for 1912
we are indebted for the following:
Karl Vogt, the distinguished German
naturalist. found that alcohol had
deleterious effect on the memory.
After taking about one ounce of al.
cohol after breakfast, he found that
he required longer time to learn
off by heart a portion Of Greek verse.
If the alcohol was taken on an empty
stomach this action was much more
marked, and was seen with smaller
dose. On revising his work some
months later, he found that the lines
learned under the influence of alcohol
were more imperfectly remembered
than those learned on the days when
no alcohol was used"

MISTAKES CAUSED BY BEER
Interesting Experiments Conducted in
Vienna to Determine Reaction
Time in Brain.

A series of interesting experiments
was conducted by Exner of Vienna to
determine the reaction time of the
brain with and without alcohol. and it
was found that no ones intellect was
at its best even under moderate doses
Of this drug. The experiment was con-
Quoted as follows: The subject was
placed at telegraphic table with fin
ger on the key and at the flash of
light was required to press the key
It was proved that the reaction time
of imbibers was heightened over that
of the abstainers even when small
quantities of alcohol were -aken-
number of complicated experiments
were made on reaction time involving
color signals. A telegraph key was
placed on the right and left of the
subject and signalized by alternating
flashes of red and white light. 1t was
proven that more mistakes were made
after the ingestion of one glass OF beer
than before it was taken.

HEAVY SEED DOES
NOT INCREASE YIELD
Tests Made at Nebraska Expert
ment Station on Different
Sized Kernels of Interest.

(By JAMES d. MARSHALL, Colorado
Agricultural College.)
During the past ten years great
many experiments have been conduct
ed by various experiment stations to
determine the relative effect of diff
ferent-sized kernels on the quantity
and quality of grain produced per
acre. The work at the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station, is worthy of note on
this particular subject Tests here
were made with wheat, the tanning
mill being used to make the seed sep
arations.
In the tests Turkey red, a hard
winter wheat, and Big Frame, a soft
winter wheat, were used. lot Of
seed from each of the above varieties
was separated into two parts, the
heavier and the lighter halves.
These were again separated into the
heaviest heavy" and the "lightest
light" being sown. To check results
ordinary seed as it came from the
separator was planted.
The same method was followed each
year for period of eight years. The
seed from each crop of the heaviest
heavy and the highest light was
separated and only the heaviest quar-
ter of the heaviest heavy and the
lightest quarter of the highest light
were used for seed.
At the end of the experiment the
average yields for the three kinds of
seeds we're practically the same while
the average weights per bushel from
the crops harvested showed hardly
any difference in favor of any one Sc
lection of the heaviest seed for, par
ticular kind of seed. From the above
results it is evident that the selec-
ton of the heaviest seed for sowing
purposes will not materially increase
the yield per acre or the weight per
bushel of the crop harvested.

Caulifiower is one of the crops that
should be in every garden. even if not
for commercial purposes. This vege-
table is peculiar in its demands of soil
grown for market purposes, it is
thought to be doing well If one-half
of the plants make heads that weigh
from one to two pounds. Caulif1ower
demands cool weather and soil that
is fairly strong in nitrogen and also
well supplied with phosphorus and
potassium.
The culture of this vegetable is the
same as that for cabbage, with the
additional work of going through the
field every day or two after the heads
begin to form and tying together the
leaves ito prevent the small white
heads from coloring. II this is neg
lected, the vegetable is ruined for
both market and family use.
Do not allow the garden to grow up
to weeds after the first early crops,
but keep the surface clean and in
cultivation during all the growing
months.
Home mixed fertilizers are the most
desirable for the market gardener.
Nearly every gardener grows a diver
sff1ed list of vegetables, which vary

Packages should be neat and clean.
AS rule small packages are best
early in the season when the prices
are high, and large packages for the
main crop. Use standard sized pack
ages and give full measure. Nothing
is gained iE the end by short measure.
When possible it is best to grow
vegetables on large scale to sell to
the wholesale trade instead of retail
ing. The successful gardener finds
his time too valuable to peddle his
vegetables.
Crops must be gathered in proper
condition and sent to the market
fresh and clean. Careful grading is
essential. A few inferior specimens
in package are the first to attract
attention. Even few specimens will
knock off more from the price of the
package than they are worth.
Remove quick maturing crops as
soon as they are done bearing and
plant to others.
