tor. and that under certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful.
For some years there les been an
insufficient supply of homegrown red
clover seed. AS a result rot only has
the price of the seed been high. but
large quantities of foreign seed, which
is frequently interior to the domestic,
have had to be imported. In eonse-
quence, the maintenance of an ade-
quate clover acreage has become a
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have been made
70 ascertain the minimum quantities
OF seed per acre required to secure a
satisfactory stand and the conditions
necessary 70 maintain such a stand
In addition, efforts have been made to
develop heavy seeding hardy strain
of clover, and finally various mechani,
cal forms of pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper of the United
States department of agriculture has
recently been published containing re.
suits of experiments which show that
the yield of seed obtained on heads
which We're not pollinated or which
were selfpollinated in different ways,
was practically negligible The actual
amount was less than onehalf of one
per cent, and this insignificant guam
tity. 1t is said. may be accounted for
by accidental pollination from outside
sources. In contrast with these re-
suits it was found that the humble
lee was able to pollinate from 80 to
80 flowers a minute in dry weather.
When few nectarproducing plants are
available it was found that the honey
bee also collects large. quantities of
pollen from red clover and in the pro.
cess specialization OF the flowers
takes place.

REARING CHICKS WITH HENS
Fowls Should Be Confined to Slightly
Oarkened Nests at Matching Time
and Not Disturbed.

Sitting hens dc best when confined
to slightly darkered nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. II the latter case the chick
ems may be removed as soon as dry, in
basket lined with flannel or some
other worm material, and kept near a
fire until all the eggs are Matched. In
place OF this the eggs may be removed
and placed under quieter hen whose
eggs are Matching at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
keep the earliest hatched chickens
warm, in. case they are relaoyed from
the nest.
II the eggs hatch unevenly. those
which are slow in Matching may be
placed under other hens, as hens often
get restless afttr part of the chick
ems are out, allowing the remaining
eggs to become cooled at the very
time when steady heat is necessary.
1t IS necessary to remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
Matched as soon as the Matching is
over. Hens are fed as soon as DOS
sible after the eggs are Matched. as
feeding tends to keep them quiet:
otherwise hens will leave the nest.

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Have Two Views as to
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.

Most of the textbooks suggest that
temporary stars. or "novae. may re-
suit either from the collision of two
bodies in space or from g sudden ex-
plosion or eruption Of a single body.
Professor Hale, in his recent review
of the last ten years work at Mount
Wilson. states that a more plausible
hypothesis is that of faint star sud
denly plunging into a gaseous nebula.
The spectra Of noyae, after passing
through remarkable changes, have usu-
ally been supposed to correspond
closely in their last visible stage with
the spectra of nebulae Observations
at Mount Wilson. however, are in har-
mony with an observation Of Hart
mann in showing that there is, at least
in some cases a still later stage, in
which the characteristic lines Of the
nebular spectrum disappear. az if the
star had finally passed out of the ne,
bula which caused its sudden outbUTst
of luminosity On this hypothesis, the
temporary brightness OF these stars
would be analogous to that OF me-
teorite passing through the earth 81 at
mosphere and raised to incandescence
by friction. Scientific American.
