The Reason We Forget

Let me see what was that name?"
Haven't we often heard that phrase, or one
very like It? Doesn't our memory often play
us tricks and cause us to forget things we know
perfectly well-"as well as know my own name"
in fact? There is a reason for this; for nearly
every case of loss Of memory we can find
cause. This discovery has recently been made
and is one Of the most important advances which
psychology has made in the understanding of
our mental life.
Forgetting, OF course, in one sense, is loss of
memory. How, first Of all, do we remember
things?
It has been assumed by Psychologists that ev-
cry event we experience leaves its trace in the
nervous substance of the brain, In much the same
way that a trace" is left upon the Photographic
record by the scratch Of the recording needle; II
the impression is "vivid"-that is, If it leaves q
deep impression upon the nervous system-then
we remember it; If not, we forget 1t. AS the
brain disintegrates with age. the memories be-
come weak. This is the doctrine usually as
sumed for the storage Of our memories
But psychologists have lately complained
against this materialistic view Of the facts. OF
late years Professor Henri Bergson in particular,
has protested that such an explanation does not
explain. We believe that memory is mental
thing not material one. To be sure there was
always the difficulty, in accounting for memory,
that the brain cells, which are constantly being
replaced would eliminate the contained memo
ries Just as new wax cylinders would efface the
record but scientific men got round" this By
suming that the new cell as 1t was deposited
somehow inherited" the traces of the previous
one and thus retained the memory. There was
no evidence that it actually did SO, but 1t as
sumed" to. The stTons protest Ssainst this MA

Coating the seed of legumes with
 nOuated soil before planting is a simple method of insuring soil inocu- latiOn at slight cost. County agents n Illinois have found ordinary furni-
 lre glue effective in holding par tcles of inoculated soil to the seeds. lhis method gives each individual sd some of the particles of inocu- bted soil which it carries with it Ehen it is planted. The scheme re- gaires but a small amount of inocu- ated soil and costs but few cents an acre. The method is described in Farmers Bulletin 704 of the depart nent
 Dissolve two handfuls of furniture glue for every gallon of boiling water and allow the solution to cool. Put me seed in a washtub and then sprin- Ne enough of the solution on the seed 70 molsten but not to wet it l quart per bushel is sufficient) and stir the mixture thoroughly until all the seed are moistened.
 Seucre the inoculated soil from a pace where the same kind of plants as the seed are growing, making sure mat the roots have a vigorous devel- opment of nodules. Dry the soil in ae shade, preferably in the barn or @Sement, and pulverize it thoroughly a'o M dust. Scatter this dust over ne molstened seed, using from one aal to l gallon of dirt for each '4snel Of seed, mixing thoroughly ll'll the seed no longer stick togeth- H. The seed are then ready to SOW.
