•otaa ttb-w -Od In «»«-• - of the plant Itself. The most important of these la by seeds, as tt la to this way that most of the ordinary farm crops are multiplied. ' to order to Udtastawd this proem we mast first learn trow the easts are format. Ths tassel of the corn Is tbs male fiawar and the talk the faraeto. y base plants, such as certain varieties of strawberries, hare only female - flowers and must be planted In alternate rows with varieties which have both kinds of hTosacwa! to other plants the male and female flowese are combined in one. This Is the earn D with the apple and many other traits, to the apple the stamens, or male parts, grow la a rtag arunnd ttw piptl]. er female part, which is in the center *< the dower. The top of a atsmsa • Which is expended, la callod the an ther. This containa a yellow dnst the pollen. The upper portion of the pistil h called the stigma. From It a tuto callod the style lead* downward t< the ovary. This ovary contains on< or more egg shaped cells called ovules Bach of these ovules is capable of de ▼eloping Into a aeed If fertilised will a pollen grain. When a grain of pol len alights on a ripe atlgma it is held by a sticky snbstancs secreted there It soon germinate* and sends a long threadlike projection down througt the style to the ovary. This slsDdei projection enters the ovary, and th« resultant union of the male and female elements causes a aeed to develop One pollen grain la required for each ovule, and each ovule develop# Into a separate seed. Them are many thousand pollen grains produced by each stamen, and as there are eeveeal «tamena for each pistil yon wQl.ase that a great axe ear of pollen is produced. This Is one of nature's methods ol mahlM reproduction more certain. In flowers like the apple the pollen may sometimes fall directly on the stigma In tbesameflower. More often, however, the stamen and pistils ripen at different times. The object of this . is to prevent self fertilisation, which, if leog continued, will weaken the vitality of the coming generations. Cross pollination— that is, the fertilization of the ovule of one flower by the pollen : from another plant— unites the strength : of both parents and produces larger, hardier seed.' This has been proved by many exper- I lments. If the tassels are pulled from 1 a row of corn before they have time to ' shed their pollen, tbe silks must necessarily be fertilised by pollen from olb- ' er stalks. The cross pollination will 1 cause the detasseled rows to produce < heavier and larger ears. If this proo- ' ess Is continued from year to year tbe 1 yielding power of that particular strain ' , will be considerably Increased. c In such plants as corn tbe wind car- ' ries tbe pollen for rods in every direction. Tbe air In the cornfield Is so ' filled with the yellow dust that there is 1 seldom any danger that tbe silka will * fall to catch more than plenty to fer- < tillae each of the many ovules that are I to form the future kernels. 1 Some plants, hpwever, are not so for- 1 tunate to thls_ inspect. The pollen of 1 fruit trees is carried to some extent by * the wind, but not nearly so much so f that of corn. In such plants a* ' :

Ever stamens are at the bottom a slender tube, from wblcb tbey inot escape unaided. Plants of this , nature are dependent on Insects to transfer pollen from one flower to anL other. In order to attract these Insects the flowers secrete a sweet nectar, which collects in tbe bottom of the tubes of which the flowers are composed. Ants, flies, butterflies aod bees are very fond of this nectar and In collecting it tarry the pollen of one flower to the stigma of another. Bees are most Important in doing this work because they gather so much more of the nectar than do tbe other Insects. Tbey often carry borne some of tbe pollen, too, which can be-aeen sticking In yellow balls to their hind legs, but enough is always brushed off to fertilize the j flowers which they visit. Tbe blossoms of red clover are so large that the short tongues of ordinary honeybees ! cannot reach to tbe bottom. It is npon ' the larger bumblebee* that this crop depends for Its ability to produce seed. Indeed. It is ao entirely dependent 1 upon tbem that the crop of clover seed ' Is in direct proportion to the number J of bumblebees irt the neighborhood.

method of selecting email grain is by of the fanning mill. By running through three or four times as \ much seed as is needed all the small grains ipay be sieved out and tbe llg^t ones blown over, leaving only the heavstrongest oaes for planting. Grain that la Intended for seed should be stored carefully to order that it may through the winter uninjured. The chief enemies of stored seed are moisInsects and rats and mice. The seed should be dry when stored and where moisture cannot gain acto It. Dry seed will stand almost any amount of freezing without Injury. There are a number of insects that seed grain by burrowing Into germ. If tbe seed room U tight, they may be killed by fumigating with carbon disulpbide used at tbe rat* of a pound to each thousand cubic feet of space. Place this in an open dish on top of tbe seed, close the room as tightly as possible, aDd to a few boura tbe Insects will be exterminated. Care should be taken not to go near tbe with a light, as the gas is explosive. This same treatment la also iatal to rats and mice, unless they have some way of escnpiug from the room. I f possible the seed room should be so well built that I bene pests cannpt gel Into It. The second method of plant propagation is by division— that is, by planttog parts of the plant itself- Potatoes are propagated to this way almost entirely. if small willow ami poplar branches are stuck Into tbe ground, they will grow Into trees. Apple and other fruit trees are propagated either by grafting or budding. Apple trees

Grafting coasists of joining pieces of small branches or scions of the tree which is to be propagated to pieces of roots or stocks. The roots of yearling seedlings are used for stocks. The scions, which should be about tbe size of 8 lead pencil, should be cut is th* fall and packed to sand. The grafting can Fe done at any time during the winter. All that Is necessary Is to cut tbe lower end of the scion and tbe upper end of the stock at an angle, ma shown In Fig. 13. These are then carefully fitted together and tied with a little common string. The essential point is to be sure to have the cambium layer of the scion join that of tbe stock. This cambium layer la the thin, ligbt brown portion between the bark and tbe wood. It ta tbe point where growth take* place.
