Mr. Farmer, you know that your crop is going to correspond very close- 1y to the character of the bed or home in which you plant the seed. You know that a poorly made seed bed will result in.a deficient crop, and you also know that if the seed- bed meets all the requirements of the plant you have a reasonable as- surance of a good crop. Let us have a heart to heart talk about these requirements, and see if it will not pay to give them a little more attention. Tirst, we say the seed-bed should be deep. But why? You know that the roots of the plant are very num- erous and grow to great length. They are at their best when an abundance of room is provided. If the seed-bed is shallow they, seeking the course of least resistance, which is not down- ward, except until they reach the hard bottom of the furrow, but out- ward and necessarily near the sur- face. In case of even a slight drouth they suffer for moisture and plant food, for it must be remembered that where moisture does not exist plant food is not available. If the seed-bed is deep, the roots take their natural course, which is downward, and when they have reached the bottom of an ecight or nine inch bed, they have strength and stability to penetrate the more compact subsoil, where, as a rule, an abundance of moisture exists. Again, if the seed-bed 1is shallow, the roots are apt to bunch, a condition that results in a stunted plant. Hence, to insure an ‘abund- ance of room and deep penetration of the roots, the seed-bed should be made deep. Again, the plant needs water. A deep well-made seed-bed is like a. thick sponge in the matter of absorb- ing the water. In the event of a very heavy rainfall, such a seed-bed re- ceives and holds several inches of water until it percolates . into the deeper soil. If, however, the seed- bed is shallow and a hard pan exists, and where shallow plowing is prac- ticed, the bottom of the furrow is usually very compact and oftem im- pervious to water, only a small amount is absorbed, the most of it running away carrying with it soil and fertility. Plants require food. Available plant food exists in the seed-bed, or in that part of the soil rich in humus; hence, it stands to reason that if the seed-bed is deep, a greater amount of plant fod is available. Plant roots require atmospheric oxygen and without it they will perish; hence, if the seed-bed is sur- charged with water it must be drain- ed out if oxygen enters. Even though water does not fill the air- spaces in the seed-bed, the bed should be deep and well tilled, for that pro= cess is a- means of giving the roots an abundance of fresh air. The benefits of tillage are very im- portant in the matter of forming plant food compounds or making chemical combinations. Plant food clements are useful only when com- bined into compounds, which is ac- complished by tillage or thoroughly mixing the soil; hence the advantage of using the disc harrow and other pulverizers and mixers. Water is stored in the subsoil to be used during the growing season, but if nature’s requirements are not provided, the stored water will fail to rise, hence, in making the seed- bed the surface ground should be plowed in order that all lumps are pulverized and all trash worked into the ground. This operation insures a compact contact between the bot- tom of the furrow and the furrow slice. If the operation is neglected, air spaces necessarily exist at the break where the turned soil meets the: more compact layer, and capillary water will rise no higher than that point. Many trials have proven con: clusively that discing before plawlng increases the crop from 26 to 50 per ® the greatest . gntrense being made where protracted drouths oc- feutred. during .the growing season. Compactness, but. not hardness, is * |alsd impoytant; hence, the seed-bed should be thoroughly“pulverized and subsequently made compact for the following reason: ' Plant food vexists in a “film of moileture surrounding each 'particle of sofl. Delicate food gathering roots.throw -minute tenticles around the sofl particles, and iabsorb moist- ure and food by a process called os- mosis. _If hard lumps exist, the deli- cate roots are unable to penetrate them, hence the feeding area is great- ly reduced.” ~Again, if lumps exist large air spaces exlst, thereby hind- ering cnpmnry attraction,” or na- ture’s process:of furnishing water. The seed-bed should-also be com- pact in order to hasten the germin- ation of the seed. If the soll is very loose, -it {8 always beneficial to roll the ground, either with a corrugated or smooth roller, after the seed is planted. I recogniae the fact;that the seed- ing-period is short and that all ex- tra labor put on an acre lessens the number of acres that the farmer is able to plant, but a two or three vear’s trial will convince the most sceptical that it is for more profit- able to plant ten acres where the seed-bed is‘made right than to plant double that number of acres when the seed-bed is not .made that it furnishes the requirements of the plant. ) HELPED OUT GHEAT NOVELIST 8choolgirl Friend of His Daughter Sup- plied Names for Thackeray’s Great Story. A delightful Thackeray anecdote (which, so far as one remembers, 18 new) has turned up at the dinner of the Colquhoun club. - The guests in- cluded Phillp Newman, who recount- ed that his wife when a girl happened to go to the same school as the nov- elist’s daughters and ‘afterwards kept up an intimacy with the family. One day, when she was out for a walk with Mise Thackeray, the latter mentioned that her father had started & new story but was at a loss to de- cide npon the hero’s mame. The fu- ture Mrs. Newman, with her flance in her thoughts, suggested that his name, “Philip,” might serve the pur. pose. At that moment who should come up unobserved behind the two girla but Thackeray himself. Making his presence known by laying a hand on & shoulder of each of the young peo- ple, he asked why they were so deep In conversation. Thereupon Miss Thackeray, turning around, revealed the subject under discussion and told him her friend's suggention as to the hero's name, .. s o0 3 “Admirable,” wa 'fi&ckerny'- ver. dict. “And now, my dear,” he went on, “what {8 your own name?” “Char- lotte.” “Well, that’s a very nice name too,” was the response, and Thack- eray wore a look of sattsfaction. The result was the tale:called “The Adventures of Philip,” In which the principal woman character figures as “Charlotte.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
