TESTS DIsPRovE OLD THEORY
 THAT CHARRING STOPS DEC


 The old theory that charring the butts of fence posts and telephone pofes pre- serves the woods has been disproyed by a series of tests recently conducted by the forest products laboratory of the for st service, United States department of az riculture, on fences with charred and un- treated posts of varied species. The charred posis proved in thase tests to be even less durable than the untreated ones.
 Theoretically. an area of charred wood
 around a post should prevent decay, be- cause charcoal does not decay or encour-
 age the growth of fungi. But the charred
 area around post is not usually solit towering. It is checked through in many
 places. If posts are seasoned before the1 are charred. the charring does not reacf o the bottom of the season cheeks whicf irre always present. If green unchecked posts are charred. checks will oper through the charred part as the wooc ! seasons. In either case the uncharret center of the post is exposed to fungu l infection and will decay as rapidly as un 1 treated wood.
 l Charring deep snougin to resist deca, 1 would undoubtedly weaken post of or l dinary size.

Norwich physicians have been backward In applying for renewals for statL permits allowing them to secure alcohol for use n the practice of their profession.

PREPARING GREENHOUSE SOIL.

preparing soil which has never been used for greenhouse crops follow the same general plan of mixing manure and applying lirI.e If the .ype of soil rear the greenhouse is suitable to use, the manure. may be scattered over this and a disc run over it to work 1t into the4 surface to some extent. Then the ground may be plowed. Timed and har- rowed and, cul ivator set to run deep in order to keep the soil stirred to bring it into a mellow. workable condition. Tai soil can then be taken to the green house and placed on the beds or benches.s
 The greenhouse soil must have plenty of plant food and organic matter. The teaching of plant food in greenhouse soils is very little, there being compar- atively no loss excepting the subsoil be- ing of very sandy nature, Therefore, plant food applied in the form of ma nure or commercial fertilizer will be not all used on the crop for which it is applied.
 Some growers use 8 fairly complete commercial fertilizer in addition to the manure For this purpose fertilizer carrying 4 per cent. nitrogen, to IF per cent .phosphoric acid and at least 1 per cent. potash is excellent. This may be applied at the rate Of ton to he acre, but it should not be applied before the manure and the lime have been worked into the surface of the soil gives very good results. It may be applied While the crop is growing.
 A quick acting commercial fertilizer like nitrate of soda or sulphate of am monia is often sused, but in such cases it must be applied lightly and with care not to have it come in contact with the foliage. l. may be applied in the dry form and water added by spraying to carry it into the soil, and t may be dis solved and applied by sprinlSling the wa ter on the soil near the plants to be treated.

THE FEEDING VALUE
 OF VELVET BEANS

THE FEEDING VALUE
 OF. VELVET BEANS
 The principal value or the velvet bean is for winter grazing, and for that pur- pose it Is one of the best crops which can be grown on the light soils and in the long season of the immediate Guf coast. say specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. It is usual to allow the crop to grow until killed by frost, after which it is grazed through the winter, as the vines and leaves de- cay so slowly that they retain their pa disability a long time. The matured beans are quite hard when dry, but are eaten well in the fall. or whenever they become slightly softened either by rains or by lying on dsap soil. T;s yisld of seed from fair growth of vines IS usually from 20 to 30 bushels per acre and much heavier yields are often sscu1ed. One hundred pounds of the pods will shell about 50 pounds. or one bushel of seel They do not need to be shelled for feed ing cattle and make an excellent grair | feed for winter use. Experiments made at the Agricultural Experiment Station ot Florida indicate that for feeding three pounds of the beans in the pods art i worth more than one pound of cotton see( i meal.
