AitfricullurGl T)i%) iaion. lobva Stale Ct>lte/f9 Copyright. 1900. by American Press Association I N' order to continue to raise crops from year to year we must propa gate the plants^ In aotue way. ! There are two principal ways of | doing thie—by seeds and by’ divisions j of tho plant Itself. The most Impor tant of these is by seeds, tm R I* In 1 this way that most of the ordinary ( farm crops nre multiplied. la .order, to understand this process ore most first Jcarn how the seeds ire formed. The tassel oKtbe corn is the male flower and the sillt the female. Rome plants, such ns certain Varieties of strawberries, have only female flowers and - must bo planted in alter-, uate rows with variettaf wb^ffa have both kinds cf bloESoms. In other plants the male and female flowers aro combined lu one. This Is the case with the apple and many other fruits. In the np’de the rtamens, or male parts, grow in a cln“ around the pistil, or female part, which Is In tho center of the flower. The top of a stamen. Which is expanded. Is caT.ed the an ther, This contains a yellow dust, the pollen. The upper portion of the pistil is called the stigma. From it n tube 1 called the style leads downward to the ovary. This ovary contains one or more egg shaped cells called ovules Each of these ovules is capable of de veloping into a seed if fertilized wit i a pollen grain. When a grain of i*ol Ion alights on a ripe stigma It h held by a sticky substance sea toted there It soon germinates and sends a long, threadlike projection down through the style to the ovary. This slendoj | projection enters the ovary, and the resultant union of the male and female elements causes a seed to develop One pollen grain la required for each ovule, and each ©rule develops Into a separate seed. There are many then sand pollen grains produced by each stamen, and a« there are several sta mens for each pistil you will sco that a great exi eAs of pollen is produced. This Is one of nature’s methods of making reproduction more certain. In flowers like the apple the pollen may sometimes fall directly on the stigma hi the same flower. Mere often, however, the Elamen and pistils ripen at different times. The object of this Is to prevent self fertilization, which, if long continued, will weaken tho vitali ty of tho coming generations. Cross pollination—th.it is. the fertilization of the ovule of one flower by the pollen from another plant—unites tho strength of both parents and produces larger, hardier seed. This has been proved by many exper iments. If the tassels nre pulled from a row of corn before they have time to shed their pollen, the rilks must neces sarily be fertilized by pollen from oth er stalks. The cross pollination will enr^tr the rletasncbnl rows to produce heavier and larger ears. If this prof ess D continued from year to year the yielding pow*w of Dint particular strain will be considerably Increased. In such plants as corn th? wind car ries the pollen for reds in every diree- ti-n. The air In tho corn Held is so «r rake, but before yon build a fire over them stop to thluk whether you want a crop of clover seed or not. Home l>eckeepers are developing strains of honeybees with exceptional ly long tongues. Some of these are able to obtain honey from second crop ml Hover, which lm:i smaller blaaooms than the first crop. When these strains of begs become ft-little better developed ffhd more -wWHy dFtrlbtitcd the use fulness of Dte bumblebee will l>e over, In the case cf small grain cros- fertilization In Impossible, since tho flower is Inside of a closed hull. Two vnrletfcs of wheat may be planted In adjoining fields or even In the same fiil.l without the slightest danger of Rjlrdt'g. Varieties cf corn, on tho oth or hand, often mix when at. much as forty reds apart. The sHeeti'n of seed corn will bo taken up in the next art! le.

XII SUCTION OF CHERIIY JII.ORSOM HHGWIWJ M.VOK AXD FUXXl.K FAllf.-*. clover Die stamens are at the bottom of a slender tube, from which they cannot escape unaided. Plants of this nature are dependent on insects to transfer pollen from one flower to an other. In order to attract those Insects tho (lower? secrete a sweet nectar, which collects lu the bottom of Die tubes of which the flowers are com posed. Ants, files, butterflies and bees ore very fond of.this nectar and in collect ing it cany the pollen of one flow er to the stigma of another. Bees are most important lu doUig this work because they gather so much more of tbe nec tar thin do the other hysects. They often .xaiFFy iwfne souip of the pollen, todfw hlch can be seen sticking In yel low balls to their hind legs, but enough Is always brushed off to fertilize the Cowers which they visit. The blos soms of red clover arc so large that the Fhort tongues of ordinary honcyliees cannot reach to tbe bottom. It Is upon the larger bumblebees that this (Top depends for Us abiiitj^to produce seed. Indeed. It Is so entirely dependent l? .’.'Ihe l_ , iD9'i them that the,crop ot-ctOXSa-Hee-F is in direct proportion t(> the number of bumblebees In the neighborhood. It Is anything but plensagt to ran Into a big nest of bumblebees w itb a mower The Ch»t]e*tou Dtsir'ct Methodist U nletrru* will bo held'at Eltfntwn— A rll U~18. method of selecting small grain Is by means of the fanning mill. By run ning through three or four times as much seed as la needed all tbe small grains may be sieved out and the light ones blown over, leaving only the heav iest, strongest ones for planting. Grain that Is Intended for seed should bo stored carefully lu order that It may go through the winter uninjured. The Chief enemies of stored seed nre mois ture, Insects mid rats and mice. The seed should be dry when store;! and kept where moisture cannot gain ac cess to It. Dry seed will stand almost any amount of freezing without injury, j There are n number of Insects that t damage seed grain by burrowing Into i the germ. If the seed room is tight, 1 they may be killed by fumigating with carbon disulphide used nt the rate of a pound to each thousand cubic feet of space. Place this In an open dish cn 'top of the seed, close the room as tightly ns possible, and In a few hours The pollen of i the insects wfll be exterminated. Care ■hould be taken not to go near tin < room with a light, as tho gas is ex plosive. This same treatment is also fatal to rata and mice, nnlesa they have some way of escaping from the room. If possible the seed room should bo so well buflt that these pests can not get into it. The second method of plant propa gation Is by division—that U. by plant ing parts of the plant itself. Potatoes are propagated In this way almost en tirely. If small willow and poplar branches are stuck into the ground, they will grow Into trees. Apple and ether fruit trees arc propagated either by grafting or budding. Apple trees may be raised from seed, but the fruit of seedling trees is usually worth less. By taking a part of tha tree and growing another from it. it will, of course, l>enr the same kind of fruit. Grafting consists of joining pieces of small branches or scions’of the tree which Is to be propagated to pieces of roots cr stocks. The roots of yearling •codlings niR used for stocks. The scions, which should be about the size of a lend pencil, should be cut In the fall and packed In sand. The grafting can be done nt any time during the winter. All that Is necessary Is to cut the lower end of the scion and the up per end of the stock at an angle, as shown In Fig. 13. These are then carefully filled together and lied with a little common siring. The essential point is to bo sure to have the cam bium layer of the scion Join that of the stock. This cambium layer Is the thin, light brown portion between the bark and (he wood. It Is the point where growth takes place. The completed graft, which should be eight to ten Inches long. Is again packed l;i sand. In the spring the grafts nre planted In 3.,jgyj In tbe. garden and left until they nre two or three years old. when they may be IransplirotfsF to tbrtr permanent place In tbe orchard.
