Página 81 - The experiments for the past four years show clearly that the soilrot may be held in check by sulphur, and that the fungicide retains its power for a long time in the soil. It is also seen that kainit has a beneficial action, and with sulphur good crops of comparativelyclean roots may be produced upon land thoroughly filled with the germs of the soil-rot.
Página 117 - An examination of 37 stomachs has shown that these cuckoos are much given to eating caterpillars, and, unlike most birds, do not reject those covered with hair. In fact, cuckoos eat so many hairy caterpillars that the hairs pierce the inner lining of the stomach and remain there, so that when the stomach is opened and turned inside out, it appears to be lined with a thin coating of fur.
Página 87 - It is seen by these figures that the club-root fell to the lowest point, a small fraction of one per cent., in 1896 ; but it is shown that the lime had not lost its action.

Página 15 - THE COMMON SCHOOLS. There is growing interest in education that relates to production. All classes of intelligent people favor it. Congress endowed colleges to teach it, and progress is being made, but not so rapidly as the growth of our country demands. More knowledge concerning what the farmer deals with every day would enable him to control conditions, produce more from an acre, and contribute more to the general welfare.
Página 106 - ... all the small birds feed their nestlings on this food no matter what the adults may eat. It is perhaps unnecessary to say that birds do not select their food with any special reference to the good or harm they may be doing to man, and those persons who expect to find in them a series of beneficent organisms wisely designed to do a certain amount of good and no harm are doomed to disappointment. In the selection of their food, birds are either guided by their natural tastes or driven by a blind...
Página 142 - Horticulture are also making a special inquiry on the self-sterility of prunes. VARIETIES WHICH ARE OFTEN SELF-STERILE. Self-sterility is not a constant character with any variety. It is influenced by the conditions under which the tree is grown, as are the size, shape and color of the fruit. The adaptation of a variety to soil and climate has much to do with its self-fertility, and if a tree is poorly nourished it is more likely to be infertile with its own pollen.
Página 82 - It is not the purpose here to discuss the nature of the clubroot disease, but in passing it may be said that it is a low plant organism that makes its way into the plant from the soil and causes...

Eighteen libraries are allowing the first three to wear out without replacing. Twenty-five libraries circulate Trowbridge only. There seems to be a great difference of opinion in regard to the relative value and worth of these authors. One librarian writes : " Our set of Alger and Trowbridge are worn out and not replaced. Poor,...
