ceiye the presence not only of common
vetch, but of other seeds as well, in any
lot that he examines. The seed of wild
vetch is, however, somewhat deceptive
since it bears a strong resemblance to
that of hairy vetch. Despite this fact
careful examination will show that the
seed scar differs from that of hairy
vetch i'll being more nearly wedge
shaped, black, and in having a slender
but distinct ridge along the center.
This wild vetch is frequently used as
an adulterant in low-grade lots of
hairy vetch seed Another form of
adulteration commonly practiced is
the addition of small-sized seeds of
common yetch, probably the result of
screening
Another useful method of determin-
ing the presence of other seeds is to
crush small handful Crushed hairy

is more difficult to determine, In fact
the termination test is the only wav
of detecting dead seed. Instead of
sprouting in four or five DAYS after
planting. each seed will merely become
swollen and soft. When vetch seed is
more than year old it usually con.
tains a considerable percentage of
what is known as hard seed because
this is incapahle.ot absorbing moisture
and therefore does not sprout.

He was told yes, that Sadie was
just as beautiful as ever-no more,
no less. Obfogie had acquired a pair
of owl spectacles of the ultramodern
type. He supposed that if Sadie had
looked lovely before her loneliness

Use of vetch for Green Manure,
Forage and Cover Crops.
Hairy Variety Able to Withstand Win
tiers Which Would Kill Common
kinds-Pure Ice of Impor-
lance to Country Homes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In the growing popularity OF legumes
for use as green manure, forage and
cover crops, vetch has played an i'm
portant part. Although there are a
number of species grown to some ex-
tent in this country, the two used most
extensively are the common and the
hairy vetch. OF the two hairy vetch
is much more Lardy and can be grown
in almost every part Of the United
States. 1t withstands winters which
would kill the common vetch and does
well on land much too poor for the
other. In addition, 1t will stand con-
siderable alkali and much drought On
this account it can be grown success
fully in nearly every state Of the
Union, but its chief importance will
probably always be in regions where
alfalfa and red clover do not meet
the farmers requirements.
Hairy vetch has so many advan-
tages over the common variety that it
would probably displace it almost alto
getheT if it were not for the fact that
the seed is SO much more expensive.
Under normal circumstances it can be
said that hairy vetch seed is practi-
cally double in price that of common
vetch. This has not only checked its
utilization in the United States, but
has offered an inducement for adul-
iteration and substitution in the seed
against which purchasers should guard
themselves.
From a practical standpoint the ex-
animation of yetch seed should deter
mine the following questions;
ID Is the seed common vetch (Vicia
sativa) or hairy vetch ". villosa)?
ca Is old, dead seed present as an
adulterant?
80 Is other vetch seed or similar
seed present as an adulterant?
t4) Is the seed adulterated with low
grade screenings?
90 Are specially noxious weed seeds
present?
90 Does considerable part of the
seed consist of hard seed incapable of
prompt termination?
With little experience there should
be no difficulty in distinguishing be-
tween the seeds of common and hairy
vetch. The common vetch seeds are
slightly f1attened and the profile some
what angular. The surface is more or
less distinctly notified, some of the
seeds being uniformly light brown or
greenish. Hairy yetch seeds, on the
other hand. are somewhat smaller,
nearly spherical and. roll readily. Or
dinarily their color is grayish or lead
en- black, although new seed is often
family notified.
Perhaps the easiest way, however,
to distinguish between the two varie-
ties is by examining the seed scar
with magnifying glass. In common
vetch this scar takes the form of
narrow wedge, with a slight ridge of a
somewhat lighter color extending
along the center. In hairy vetch the
scar is broad. oval wedge shaped, and
there is no light-colored central ridge.
although there may be a split along
the center.
After the purchaser has familiarized
himself with the appearance of this
distinctive scar in the seed of hairy
vetch he should be able readily to per-

makes it necessary to use more
canned, corned or smoked meat prod
ucts at season when the table might
be supplied with other meats if there
was an available supply of ice to keep
it.
Not only is ice appreciated because
of its use in the preservation Of fresh
meats, butter and other table supplies,
but the production of high-grade do
nestle dairy products is almost impos-
sible without it. Many markets to
which milk is now shipped demand
that it be cooled before shipment to a
degree not attainable without the use
of ice. Modern methods of marketing
show other products besides milk, such
as fruit and eggs, if chilled before be-
ing taken to market, arrive in much
better condition. Ice in the country
home, therefore, is of value for a
greater number of purposes than at

Source of the Ice Supply.
The source of the ice supply varies
with local conditions. In many sec
tons lakes, rivers or large streams af-
ford supply of suitable ice without
special plan or preparation on the part
of man. In those instances, where
such natural sources are not easily
accessible, small streams or even the
water from a spring can be stored in
an excavation or by means of a dam,
so as to afford sufficient water surface
to provide the desired ice supply. The
harvest area or surface will depend
upon the tonnage to be stored and the
normal thickness of the ice in the To-
cality In central New York the nor
NAL ice supply ranges from to IL
inches III thickness, while in eastern
Virginia 4 to inches is as great a
thickness as can usually be counted
upon.
The stream or pond from which the
supply. of ice is taken should be fed
from a source free from contamina-
ton or pollution. If the stream is so
sluggish that water weeds thrive in it,
all vegetation must be removed to
prevent its freezing in the ice. De-
caying vegetable matter frozen in ice
is very Objectionable, because as the
ice melts this matter is deposited in
the ice box or refrigerator, rendering
it unnecessarily filthy and dangerous
to health.
Ponds in which green spawn or algae
grow profusely can be rid of these
pests by the use of copper sulphate.
The crystals can be placed in a cloth
sack, which is hung to a pole and
trailed through the water until the
salts are dissolved. One or two treat
ments of the sulphate during the sea
son at the rate OF one pound to 1OO.-
600 gallons of water will be sufficient
to keep down such growth and make
the water clear and pure. 1t is impos-
sible to have pure ice unless the pond
or stream is clean and the water is
free from contamination.
