The innate corruption and depravity
OF human nature were perhaps never
more clearly brought out than in the
historic Black Hole Of Calcutta. That
atrocity stands unrivaled as an In
stance OF the utmost suffering human
ity can endure, passed through by a
large number, yet leaving few sur
vivors to tell the tale. Many more
have been slain or executed at one
time, death being expected; but
probably only safe keeping of the pris-
oners was intended, and only fear OF
breaking a despot's sleep prevented
their earlier release. Yet this torture,
"unequaled in history OF fiction,
whose record cannot be read unmoved
after the lapse OF a hundred and fifty
years." was produced merely by crowd
ing men together in an i'll ventilated
room No fires, racks, nor scourges
were needed; all that was done or re-
quired to be done was to take from
each the amount Of air and space to
which he was accustomed, crush him
into close proximity with his fellows

WORK OF BEES IN ORCHARDS
It Has Been Proved That Little Honey
Gatherers Are Responsible for
Cross-Pollenation.

1t has been a matter Of doubt until
recently as 10 just what agencies were
responsible for cross pollenation in ap-
pie orchards. 1t was thought that the
wind was a factor as we'll as the honey
bees and other insects. 1t has been
proved, however, that the wind has
very little to do in aiding cross-pollen-
alton, and that honey bees, wild bees
and other insects are very necessary
for the transference Of pollen.
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. McCulloch, assistant en-
tomologist Wind was not considered
in the test, because ii was found that
wherever apples were grown far from
an apiary only a small amount Of fruit
was grown.
1t 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 10 reduce
their number and they did not begin
flying until after the dew had left the

PLoW LAND DURING WINTER

When Work Is Done In Spring
Also Kills Insects.

There is a diversity Of opinion as to
the advisability of blowing in win
ter.
1t is generally conceded, however,
that sod lands should be plowed in
the winter season. The freezing and
thawing of the soil puts 1t in much
better condition than it can be put by
the pillow and harrow after the spring
has opened.
Winter blowing also destroys many
insects that would damage crops If
they were allowed TO live.

ALFALFA TO IMPROVE SOILS
In Actual Practice Crop Can Only Be
Considered on Land Which Is
High in Fertility.

The unqualified recommendation as
Il 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
sively on poor or unproductive soils,
says Rural Farmer. No greater mis-
take could be made than to SOW al

on land which is not in high condi-
ton of fertility.
1t is true that being a legume, it
benefits the soil through the addition
of nitrogen fixed by organisms form
ing nodules on its roots. and through
it's roots it not only supplies consid-
cradle quantities of humus, but great
ly improves the mechanical condition
of the soil
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 a soil improver is
a question which cannot be answered
without some explanation. In the sense
in which the term is commonly used,
: alfalfa is not a soil-improving crop,
/ since it cannot be utilized in the same
manner as COW peas, soy beans, Grim.
son clover or hairy vetch for the build

| 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 lano
prior 70 seeding the alfalfa and the
treatment in the way of top dressing
and fertilizing which follow during the
few years of it's existence doubles:
have a very beneficial effect on the
crops succeeding it.
In actual practice, then, alfalfa i'm
proves good land, but cannot be con
sidered in connection with poor land.

The first three days keep chicks
