It may be growo from Hudson By to Patagonia, and is intended to replaeat the California var. iety, Te new wheat, according to Mr, littrb,ank, is an exceedingly early wheat, being the earliest of some four or five hundred verieties which he as been growing, It has been tested alongside of 08 of the best wbeate of the Wetted, and has exceeded there all in yield, unitromity, and all other de. sairable thanacterlsties.

Even at present prices of ordinary wheat for milling pule poses, it will he seen that the crop of each acre would purchase an acre of the best wheat land. Like all other wheats grownin Cali- fornia, the new wheat le a winter wheat, and Mr. Burbank thinks should Probably be treated as such. In plant- ing the wheat he advises that it should be well protected froin birds, which is best done by drilling or planting rows by hand. Too rich soil or heavy Manuring is not advisable for the wheat, he says, as It is more apt to lodge and the crop is not generally in- creased, especially on naturally good ground. On Poorer soils some good complete fertilizer will increase the yield, 40 to 50 pounds of seed per ache, one-half to one inch deep, giving the best results.

Recent luvestigatisons have shown that lack of vigor th the seed pota- 'toes planted has been the cause of poor yields and inferior quality in the resultant crop. It has also been found that seed from New Brunswick or New Ontario gives better yields in older Ontario than horne-geown seed. It may not be convenient for every farmer to purchase seea grown in New Brunswica or New Ontario, but a process of selection can be conducted which will materially increase yields and profits. Usually the best potatoes are found in the hills which have the strongest and most vigorous tops. These should be marked before they die down in the autumn and kept separate at digging time for seed the following year. This will not cost anything except a little time and it will be time profitably spent. While conducting illustration work on farms, the Comraieelon of Conser- vation has noted increases in yield as high as 33 per cent. from the selected seed over the seed from the common bin, Select enough now, for a seed plot next year,-F.C.N. • NOTES. e• At the Missouri Experiment Station it recently has been shown that little or no root action takes place with fall - planted trees until the surface of the ground has begun to freeze, and the trees planted early in the fall may lose considerable vitality before they begin root action. Cull potatoes make profitable pork. The sooner manure is worked into the soil the better. This is where it should rot, Manure is more effective when worked into the soil than wheu used as a top dressing. Daily appli- cation of manure to level fields is pre- ferable to poor storage, no matter what- season of the year. . Pall plowing means early sowed oats, and experience has convinced us that It is useless to sow oats unless the seed can be put into tho ground early in the spring.

Specimens of Strange Little Ani- mal Brought Back by Expedition In the vast Hurl forest in the Bele gian Congo, whe.re the sun rarely pierces through the dense foliage, and rain -pools stand for months in the foot -tracks of the elephants, a new sort of forest creature has been found. This is the "hero shrew" -a variant of the common shrew which is very wide- ly distributed, over the earth, being found in the Arctic circle, Asia, Eu- rope, Australia, England and the Americas. The hero shrew, however, is known from only two localities, •both in the Belgian Congo, These are the villages of Medje and Bafwabaka, both situated near the borders of the tropical rain forest, and only about 30 miles distant from each other, Easily recognized among other varieties of shrew by its more clumsy appearance and ibelonger, denser pelage, the most striking characteristic of the hero shrew is the remarkable strength of its vertebral column. Some interest- ing proof ,of the strength of jt back is given by Heybert Lang, leader of the Lang -Chapin expedition which was maintained in Africa for six years by the American Museum of Natural History. He says that the natives of the locality, especially the Mangbetu, light in performing on captive sPeei- mene. "After the usual hubbub of Various invocations, a full-grown =an weighing some 160 pounds steps bare- footed upon the ehrew. Steadily try- ing to balance, himself on one leg, he continues to vociferate several rain- utes, The poor shrew seems certainly to be doomed. But as soon as his tor- mentor jumps off, the shrew, after a few shivering movements, tries to escape none the worse for this mad experience and apparently in no need of the wild applause and exhortations of the throng." During this demon- stration the head is always left free. The heart and other viscera are pro- tected from the crushing by the very strong vetebral column, made up of heavy closely interlocking spines, and curiously cOnvex behind the ehoulder, forming there an arch highly resistant to pre,ssure. The Mangbetu believe that the charred body or heart of the hero shrew, when prepared by their medi- cine -man, !ends the quality of invite. cibility when worn as a talisman or taken as medicine. Those about to engage In warfare or setting out on a dangerous enterprise, such as elephant hunting, are always enger to carry rang some part of a hero shrew as a charm against danger, Their faith in its protective power is doubtless strong stimulant to courage and quick- wittedness, probably often eaUsing ex- traordinary heroic conduct, Without doubt, this is the explanation of the name "hero shrew,' bestowed by the Mangbetu oil this little animal, which ecientiete, call "Seutisorest congicus."

Thie diet is practically the same as that of its rela- tives, the mole,s, and consists only of such creaturee as are easily killed by a shrew of its size and fairly abundant all over the floor of these tropical rain forests, Its teeding habits tbereforo offer no explanation of its origin or utility of Its enermously strengthened vertebral column. Its breeding season is from the end of April to the begin- ning of August, five to seven, and more ralely ten, young being found in the nest, They are naked, blind and toothless, but soon run about snaPPing at everything within reach.

While the unyielding grit) between the sharp row of -teeth is Tacitly fatal to Its prey, it never shows the aggreasive boldness of re- lated species; nor are its attacks marked by the nervously rapid and jerking movernente that serve with so many inseetivores not only instantly or overawe their quarry, but as a pro- tection against defensive attack, Mr. Lang adds: "In watching them it soon becomes clear that scent prevails over sight, The deeply grooved nose Is moved in every direction, and, con- tinually quivering, ito explores active- lY the objects in view. The under sides of leaves and eeeet stones are thus inspected. Fair-sized pebbles, pieces of bark and de,cayed wood are turned over or pulled away with the assistance of the incisors. . . .

Among the vast collections brought back by the Lang -Chapin expedition is a large series of Scutisorex congicus, consisting of skins, skulls, alcoholic and skeletal speeimens, which will prove invaluable in the study of this strange forest creature. The skeletons are being articulated to afford com- parison with other species of shrew, and will shortly be placed on exhibi- tion.-13ulletin of the Amerlean Museum of Natural History. - e -s -e -e-4-44-4,-* Criticism of War Book by German Professor Stirs Germany. eat-e-•-•-•-•-•-•-++++4-a•-•-i t - cynical observor of letter oaice remarked that although it was the habit of writers to affect humility, yet there were but few who refrainee from the vanity of inscribing their na,mes on the title -page of their works.

Dr. Niel:Owl's draft manifesto ee- printed in the earlier pages of hie work, is deserving of study, inas- much as it indicates the idea by which he was inspired during the first weeles of the war. The follow- - ing passage, to a certain extent rem- iniscent of some of Mr. Wilson's later utterances, may be quoted: "It thereto:0 amen; not merely desirable, but urgently necessary that educated men of all states should excercise their influence so that, whatever may be the still condi- tions of peace should not become the source of future wars, but rather that the fact that all European relation- ships have fallen as a result of this war into a mobile and plastic condi- tion should be made use of to create an organic unity out of Europe," - (p. 19.) Nicolare object in writing his work Is, briefly described, to analyze the nature of war mid to discuss ite place in the development of human- dty. . In the pursuit of his task he Observes a dispassionate objectivity which at times almost grates upon the reader. He is not one of those who are tormented by the hought of the sufferings and the tortures of war. His purpose was to prove to those who had lost their ideals that war is only a "passing phenomenon On earth which is not worth witile taking too seriously" (p. 12). Else- where again he dwells on the fact that war, objectively regarded, Is not particularly cruel and that, from un - Conscious sentimentality, we are led to exaggerate the suffering which war entails. On what, then, does Dr. Nicolers objection to war rest? In a Word, it is because war is an anachonism, ait institution which the human race has outgrown, and which now acts as an obstacle and a hindrance in the Path of human progress . That war eer- responds to a deep and ineradicable instincto in our nature, that it pro - metes; a galaxy of virtues, that for mankind it represents the struggle for existence to be found throughout all nature, are doctrines which are , . writ large throughout the whole of recent German literature; the reader who deelres to find thee viewe only tomized in their extreme forma ruay be referred to Sombart's "Iiamdier mid Heiden," a work which for some reason has not enjoyed that notor- iety in this country to whieh its great demerits undoubtedly entitle it.

(New 'Yolk Sun) The German ,Colonial Se'bretary Dr. WIIholin Solf, declared that "a lively consciousness noW extends far into the workers' circles" that the retention of German colonies Is it vital question for the honor of Germany as a great Power. In his statement of Germany's position on the return of her colonies Dr. Self differs from proceeding spokesmen on the subject in giving no indication that Germany Is holding Belgium or other of her conquests its pawns, and in• basing his plea upon the grounds of Germany's moral conquests in her dependencies. His suggestion is that a coinproznise pe effected on the colonial question by which possession shall correspond to the economic strehgth of the nations con- eern ed. Germany before the War had four col - miles. in Africa, one in Asia and nine • islands or groups of islands in the Pac- ific Ocean. Their estimated area, was 1,027,820 square miles. The last of these colonies was lost several months ago when General Smuts with his South Africans and Belgian, French and Portu- guese _telonial troops drove the Germans from German East Africa end forced their surrender in the swamp lands Of the Lake Nyaese. region. More than a year ipreviously to tide conquest General Botha, had occupied German Southwest Africa, and lerencit and British troops Togo and leamerun. Early in the 'war Japan had captured Kiito-ehoW, China, the Caroline, Mar- shall and Ladrone islands in the Pacific; Atistralle, had taken tlerinan New Guinea and adjacent islands, and NeW Zealand the Samoan group. Dr, Self speaks Of the benefits accruing to the native popUlation tattier the Ger.. man rule And "the decimation of the colored population of the various African eolOhies by the Entente's action."
