Sphagnum m eUsins uof Moss (Experimental Farms Note.) These plants (for there are many species of Sphagnum) grow best in a climate that is moist and only anod- `erately war -1n summer. They are one of the-chlet forms of vegetation to be found growing in the swarnPY region known as ."Muskegs." Sphag- num -bogs °emir principallyin New- foundland, the , Maritime Pi -evinces, NertheaStern Quebec; Labradar and the -Weetern pads of British Colum- bia. = The Sphagnum plant consists of a stem end breeches which are clothed with small, numerous, 'overlapping leaves, They differ from most ether Mosso in being entirely devoid of rootlete. Another peculiarity of the Sphagnum is that the leaf never has O control vein or midrib. The outer part *of the stem as well as a. con- sideribla part of the leaf is composed, of a large number of special "absorb - eat cells" which are able to take up and hold water like a spOnge. The amount of Waar absorbed varies ac- cording to the epteles, but ranges front ten to -twentytimes the weight of the dry Sphagnum: Owing to the ability of these cells to absorb the water required by the plant for if development the presence of rootlets is unnecessary. Sphagnum -ueuelly grows in a situatiou where the soil underneath is permanently dente. Sphagiitan or Bog Moss has been used or atteOnsiderable period as a pecking Material for plants. Owing to its power ot retaining moisture, It belga" to keep rooted plants in a fresh condition until they arrive at their destination. It is also Mamma- ly useful when dried as bedding mat. erial for horses, But it is owning to its nee Sinee, the beginning of the war in the form of absorbent pads f ar dressing wounds that Sphigneim has recently gained an importance hitherto un- known. -Cotton is so largely in tie. Mand for the manufacture of explos- ives that some substitute had to be found and in any case cotton wool has an absorptive power of oaly tour to five times- its own Weight, int the species of Sphagnum found growing on this continent four are used for this purpose. When collecting the moss great care should be taken to have it free from any admixture of leaves, twigs or roots of other- plants Which may be growing in the imme- diate viclnity. Each handful should be aqueezed gentlyto remove excessive moisture, but oar,e should be taken not to break the Main stem. The those should be spread In thin layers to dry; before the drying process is complete ft shauld be gone over card. hilly and, sorted, after whieh the dried moss may be packed into bags or light boxes for despatch to the de- pot where it is required. The final making up into pads of the' sizes re- quired sheuld be left to be done by the experts of the War Department. At the present thne Scotland is turning -out these pads at the rate of four millions per month, while Cate ado, during the year 1918 Was asked to supply Vacuity millions of sub pads. tIOW'S TfilS ?
