Bruising in Threshing. \ To determine the bruising in I threshing, M. Vallden, a Swedish investigator, immerses used grain in a 0.4 per cent, cosin solution, then washes in water The erain in the ? .?? ? ? r best condition, remains uncolored and is rated as 0; that colored on the end is one-fourth; that with half of the surface colored is one-half; and that wholly stained is one. This gives a means of selecting perfect grains or of testing germinative value with various degrees of mutilab tion. V Report of Ehrhardt Red Cross.
