Origin of MeteOrttes.-Dr. Mohr, from
the analysis of meteOrites, deduces the
following, that the view maintained
that meteOrites were projectiles from
the moon in which volcanoes were re-
cOgnized, is quite untenable. 1t is ia
tai to this theory that the meteOrites
coincide with the periodically recur-
ring swarm of shooting stars, which
have a planetary orbit in space, be-
cause meteorites display no igneous
structure, and cannot, consequently,
have sprung from volcano. The con-
stituents of meteOrites, DIR. Mohr af-
firms, such as Oliveine, augite, amor
thite, and their organic matter, prove
that these bodies must have been
formed upon planet, warmed by the
sun in absolute rest, and in the lapse
of an enormous length of time, like the
terrestrial silicates. Under what cir
cumstances this planet has been shiv-
cred in fragments cannot be known.
1t must have bad a large collection of
waters, a sea, which has likewise been
dispersed, and which is to be found in
meteOric swarms and in comets. One
peculiarity of meteOrites, DIR. MOhr in
sists, is this, that when compared with
our own terrestrial substances, we find
in the former more productions of re-
duction. Thus in meteOrites there Is
no ferric oxide, but metallic iron, sui
phide of iron, and ph0sphide of nickel
iron. Upon our globe phosphorus Is
only found as phOsphOric acid. Hence
DR.. MOhr argues that the hypothetical
planet or planets from whence meteo-
rites have come must have been small
Ter than our globe. and had a less dense
atmosphere containing less oxygen.
Strange to say, the specific gravity of
most meteOrites, 1915, corresponds
closely with the calculated density of
the planetoids between Mars and Ju-
piter.

How MUCH DOES A HORSE REQUIRE?
This question is asked frequently by
those who assume that If certain guam
tity of grain, hay and straw, viii con-
stitute generous feeding for one horse
similar amount will be sufficient for
another. But some horses will require
nearly twice as much grain, meal and
hay, as others. The proper way to de-
termine how much feed horse will re
quire, is to observe carefully how much
he will eat at one feeding, or during
the day, without wasting portion of
his allowance. Besides this, there,
will be a vast difference in the quality
of the feed. Herewith is appended the
details of preparing feed, as adopted by
farming friend who always keeps his
horses in an excellent condition. His
practice is, to cut oat straw about an
inch long with Gales copper strip ma
chine, which is then treated with corn
meal and bran mixed in about equal
quantities as to weight, so that each
horse has bushel of cut feed and three
quarts of the meal and bran, twice in
each day. Sometimes hay is cut, in
stead of oat straw, or both are mixed.
1t is found that two hundred pounds
per week of this mixture of corn-meal
and bran, added to the cut feed, will
keep pair of working horses in the
best condition. This he is satisfied from
experiment, is less than two thirds of
the cost of keeping them on uncut dry
hay and whole grain. The cOrnmeal
alone Is not so good for horses, a when
diluted with bran. An excellent meal
is made of ground oats. The fodder is
cut by horse power on stormy or spare
days and stored in large bins, so as to
furnish always a surplus on hand. In
cold weather, hot water rather than
cold, is employed to mix the feed

Paper Mdking.-When rags were the
only materials used, the production
rested upon the consumption of linen,
and ND to the year 1900 the annual
quantity was estimated at the rate of
about one pound for each inhabitant !;
up to 1000, two pounds; to 100, three
pounds to 1900, four pounds; and in
this century it reaches five. About
1910 the use of china clay began in
England, followed by aniline and the
various rag substitutes, wood pulp, es-
partO, straw, and jute. These substi
tutes afforded an unlimited supply of
raw material, and altogether changed
the conditions of the paper industry.
Before this time, when there was only
a definite amount of raw material pro-
curable, all of which was needed and
used up in the manufacture, cOmpeti-
ton between paper makers depended
solely upon their means of obtaining
rags. The larger the supply of one
manufacturer, the less by SO much was
the entire quantity consumed by the
rest of the trade. When the different
substitutes came in, any number of new
factories were capable of being estab-
lished, and the old ones could be illim
itably extended, the only restraint be-
ing the fear in the mind of the manu-
facturer of demand for the manufac
tured product. The old factories in
creased their operations. and new es-
tablishments were founded In a much
greater number and extent than was
compatible with the requirements of
the public for paper. Within the last
few years larger prOpOrtiOnate
amount of capital has been applied to
paper manufacture than hitherto

WHY WET LAND SHOULD BE DRAINED.
Free access of atmospheric air to
every part of the soil is of the utmost
importance. The air assists the various
processes of decomposition BY which
dead animal and vegetable matter is
made to yield products Of the highest
value as elements of the food Of plants.
If the soil is full of water, of course
the air cannot get into the soil to per-
form this Office. Hence, drains by
drawing of the water beneath, give
the air free admission to the soil, and
each shower of rain, by displacing the
air already present, and then falling
through the soil and running away in
the drains reAews the supply Of fresh
air. In this way drains are of the great
est benefit. Drains actually diminish
the loss of plant food by washing away.
Stagnant water is Injurious to the roots
of plants. They will not grow in it.
Draining removes this, and hence the
plants send down their roots deeper.
Consequently the capability of absorb
ing nourishments is greatly increased.
1t is this increased depth Of the roots
in well drained soil which renders the
crops growing on them less liable to
suffer from drouth than those on i'm
perfectly drained land.
Although rain, washing the surface
and running off by open channels, may
and does dissolve and wash away a
considerable quantity Of nutritive mat
ter, the water which sinks into the land
carries these nutritive substances deeper
down into the soil and deposits them in
the lower portions where the roots Of
the plants are to be found. and where
these roots can seize and absorb these
soluble matters. Draining causes the
rain to pass through considerable
thickness of soil before il runs off, and
hence it causes less loss of nutritive
matter than is occasioned by rain wash
ing soil as it does in undrained lands,
carrying off the valuable nutritive mat
ter that abounds on the surface.-N. 7
