Nothing could be more appropriate

redolent Of Napoleonic memories as
Malmaison. where Napoleon |. spent
SO many happy hours. ~
The house and its park have beer
put into beautiful order, and the man
must indeed own an insensible soul
who can wander through the rooms IN
which he and Josephine lived. and
look upon the plenishings that were
theirs, without thrill Of historic
emotion. The very spirit OF history
broods within its modest but elegant
walls-the ingenious travelling writing
desk, made at Florence, which still
stands in the emperor's library, must
in its time have concealed many 2

WORK OF. BEES IN ORCHARDS
Il Has Been Proved That Little Honey
Caterers Are ResponsIble for
4 Cross-P oilenAtIon. @fstt v

s. . q 50
1t has been matter Of doubt until
recently as to Just what agencies were
responsible for cross pollenation in ap-
pie orchards. It was thought that the
wind was factor. as well as the honey
bees and other insects. It has been
proved, however, that the wind has
very little to do in aiding cross-pellen-
alton, and that honey bees, wild bees
and other insects are very necessary
for the 5transference% Of pollen. 4.
To determine the Importance Of the
honey bee and other insects as factors
in cross-pollenation. an experiment
was carried on by the Kansas expert
ment station under the direction OF
James w ! McC ulloch. assistant en-
tomologist. Wind was not considered
in the test, becausesit was found that
wherever apples were grown far from
an apiary only a small amount Of fruit
was grown. 55.,, h, =
It was found that tame bees were
the predominating insects visiting the
flowers. They visited the trees from
early morning until shutdown. Cloudy
or windy; weather seemed to reduce
their number and they did not begin
flying until after the dew had left the
trees.

ALFALFA TO IMPROVE SOILS.

~ Considered on Land Which 10
rs High In Fertility. 81

g The unqualified Recommendation as
q soil improver that is; continually be-
ing given alfalfa Is responsible for
the very common belief that this crop
is one which should be grown extern
sfvely on poor or unproductive soils,
says Rural Farmer. No greater mis-
take could be made than to SOW al

ton of fertility. s* .sE

ing nodules on it's roots, and through
its roots it not only supplies consid-
cradle quantities of humus, but great
ly improves the mechanical condition
of the soil. 5..lE.z
In producing profitable yields OF hay,
alfalfa utilizes large quantities OF
phosphorus and potassium, which
must be obtained either directly from
the soil or from added fertilizer.
Whether alfalfa is soil improver is
q question which cannot be answered
without some explanation. In the sense
in which the term Is commonly used,
alfalfa is not a soilimproving crop,
since it cannot be utilized in the same
manner as COW peas, soy beans, Grim
son clover or hairy vetch for the build
ing up Of WORKOUT or depleted lands.
On the other hand it enriches the good
soils through the nitrogen and humus
added to the soil by its roots and
crowns when the old field of alfalfa is
broken up and also BY the mechanical
action OF its roots upon the soil. Fur
thermore, the preparation of the land
prior to seeding the alfalfa and the
treatment in the way of top dressing
and fertilizing which follow during the
few years OF its existence doubtless
have a very beneficial effect on the
crops succeeding it. III IA
I'm actual practice, then, alfalfa i'm
proves good land, but cannot be con-
sidered in connection with poor, land.

where the chicks sleep is between IS

ally dropping to 80, degrees by the
fourteenth day and to 80 degrees tho
twenty-first day. Leave the newly
Matched chicks in the incubator nur-
sery thirty-six hours, then transfer
them in warm lined basket to the

tile, thin shelled or misshapen eggs)
and mix ,crumbly, but not sloppy, with
sweet milk, adding a little chick size
grit, giving it Ave times daily. Over
this, the second day, sprinkle chick
feed. Y
The first three days keep chicks
near the hover, pushing them back
under it after each meal until they.
are used to it. The fourth day stop
the nursery food, feeding scratch feed
throwing it in the clover, and start
green food, though sparingly, and
avoid sour or frozen feed or musty
grain, for they are certain death. After
the sixth day begin feeding meat
scraps In small quantities. an ounce
fed twice daily in feed hoppers. The
following successful method Of feed
ing is excellent: Over the cut clover
spread ten pounds of chick feed, COW
ering with two more inches Of clover
and ten pounds more Of feed, and SO
on. until there are eight inches Of lit
ter and sixty pounds OF feed. This.
with meat scraps and green food. lasts
about five weeks. and reared in this
way chicks will prove sturdy. healthy
and possess great vitality.
