PLANTS REQUIRE MOISTURE

Plants take in moisture
through their small feeding root
lets and discharge it through the
surface of their leaves. AS re-
suit of the breaking of the roots
in transplanting, the supply of
moisture is cut off and the plants
wilt. To prevent the willing of
the leaves, says the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, water should be poured
around the roots before the dirt
is filled in; also the tops of the
plants should be shaded and pro-
tected from the wind for day
or two to reduce the evaporation
from the leaves.

Work Of Ieaf-Cuttlno Bee.

The ieafcutting bee drills in SAND
bank Il hole ten inches deep and half
an inch in diameter and divides il into
about dozen compartments or cells.
Each cell Is composed OF pieces of leaf
cut into proper shapes and carefully
btted together Rose leaves and sweet
pea leaves are among the fnvOrites
OF the bees. The cutting is done with
the jaws, while the six legs hold the
leaf In position and enable the Insect
to turn itself about with the precision
OF 2 pair Of ,Compasses. Some Of the
cut pieces are parfect circles. others
are oblons figures OF varying proper

leaf, an operation requiring about
twenty seconds, the hee carries 1t to
the $and bank and then returns for
more materials. When piece has
been nearly cut on, the bee, In order
TO prevent tearing, poises itself In the
air with its wings and completes the
operation with clean cut.

Potatoes may be stored in open bins
in II cool cellar or buried in the ground.
II stored in n cellar, they should not
be piled more than foot deep. When
stored in layers deeper thnn this or in
sacks. there is more danger Of loss
from decay.
Potatoes may be buried in the
ground over winter. A shallow hole
about 6 TO II inches deep should be
dug and lined with about two inches Of
straw. The potatoes should be placed
in the hole and covered with straw
and four or five inches Of soil. VEN

as is generally supposed, in the nasal
passages. hut in an area Of sensitive
membrane about the size Of q dime
and located high above each nostril.
A portion of the hairlike tips of the

membrane receives the sense impress

cause of the position Of this membrane
outside the natural path Of the breath,
1t Is necessary to draw aside current
OF air by smiling before the exact

The effects Of SNUFF and smelling
salts have nothing to do with the sense
OF smell. They react only on the lin

So far as Psychologists have been
able to learn, smells are pigeonholed
In the brain as visual Impressions.
Each smell carries associations good
or bad and these associated images are
brought forth by the brain when par
hcular nerves are excited.
The reaction Of the brain to an odor
depends also to large extent on the
sense of taste. Only by combining the
brain reports of these two senses can
odors be accurately catalogued

also get plenty Of exercise and fresh
air. In order to produce eggs in the
winter time, the feeder must provide
substitutes for spring conditions.
Green cut bone, meat scraps, animal
meal, fish neal or tankage furnish
good substitutes for the insects and
worms. Cabbages, turnips, beets, po-
