Ions In Motion.
I'VE are accustomed to the idea that
in an electrical conductor there are
electrons or ions in state Of random
motion which has partly TO do with the
temperature Of the conductor. We have
had less occasion to consider that this
motion may result In a spontaneous
fiuctuation Of potential between points
in the conductor. This thermal agita-
ton, this motion of electric charges
does exist and can be measured under
suitable conditions

Dairymen's Regrets

A large percentage of dairy bulls
are sent to the butcher before their
desirability or undesirability as cires
has been proved by the comparison
of the records made by their daugh-
tiers with the records of the dams of
the daughters. The Bureau of Dairy
Industry in the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has on file
many comments from dairymen who
have sold excellent sires, to the but
cheers, and who have later found ev-
idence of the value of the animal.
Some of the explanations given are:
1.-THE bull was sold for beef. If we
had been in a testing association at
that time this bull might still be
alive"
"The bull was sent to the block
because his calves were nearly all
bulls"
"The bull was sent to the butcher
because his daughters were not
'typy.' Their records have since
shown that he was an excellent
bull"
81 have often regretted that this
bull was sold for beef, as the rec
ords of his daughters now show he
was an outstanding bull"

he was homely."

velvet Beans in the Cotton Belt

In the opinion of forage crop ex-
merits. no other crop so high ia feed
ing value as the velvet bean can be
produced as cheaply or in such
quantity on the soils of the South. By
selection of early seeding strains,
velvet beans are now available for
seeding all over the Cotton Belt.
MANY farmers who feed hogs extern
sively plant alternate rows of pea
nuts and corn with velvet beans IN
the corn rows. The entire crop is
then pastured. Observers in the De-
nartment of Agriculture say that ON
land where peanuts do well this
combination yields an abundance OF
feed of a well balanced ration ana
will produce better quality Of pork
than a feed of either peanuts or vel
vet beans without the corn. Velvet
bean and corn silage is of good
quality and dairymen who have used
the mixture prefer it to silage from
corn or sorghum alone. When plant
ed alone the velvet beans will smo-
Their out most of the persistent weeds
such as Bermuda grass. At the Ala
bama Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton the seed cotton yield after cot
ton was 918 pounds an acre, after
velvet beans cut for hay LIPS pounds |
and after velvet beans turned under
as a green manure, 1878 pounds.
Corn planted on these plats the fol-
lowing year gave 10 bushels an acre
in the fret and 25.5 bushels in the
third. Corn after corn yielded 12.5
bushels, corn after velvet beans
stubble 17.9 bushels and after velvet
bean manuring 25.9 bushels. At the
Arkansas Station velvet beans prov
ID a better green manure for soil
than either cowpeas or
ioybeans.
