principal difficulty is, To get the sow to lie

COLUMN.


We have for many years grown oats and
early, you can get great mass of folder
and grain. The drawback in the elder
States is the pea.weevll. The peas are
affected with the "bug," and we do not
sell them, but feed them out on the farm TO
pigs and sheep, principally to the former.
The pigs do not object to the bugs. What
the bugs think OF it is not reported The
tanning mill will separate nearly all the oats
from the peas No matter IL lew Of the
split peas will remain with the oats.
II cut before the oats get too ripe and the
crop is carefully cured, the fodder iS nearly
as good as hay. Ms 10 the variety Of peas,
SOW any that you can buy cheap enough.
The seedsmen charge too much for it, or
the White or Black eyed Marrow fat would
be good. The common Canada Creeper or
any other small, round pea answers a good
purpose, and bushe goes farther than the
larger varieties. We mean that 1t is not
necessary TO sow them 81 thick. Two
bushels Of oats is enough seed per acre.
The marrowfsts should be sown at the
ra OF not less than three bushels per acre
and bushel to a bushe and half Of oats,
thoroughly mixed together.
Early sowing is verv desirable, and as
cd can be plowed earlier in the spring than
subble land, we prefer to- sow on sod,
putting in the seed as fast as the land is
plowed. The crop van be drilled in or
spwn broadcast. II a drill Is used, keep the
grain well mixed, or the peas will be apt to
sink to the bottom. II sown broadcast and
the land is well plowed in narrow burrows,
sow on the burrows before narrowing. Then
harrJw and roll, and the peas will be well
coverel. You can rely on that.-An.

And what's the use Of eclipses, many
will ask. A great deal Of in ormation
about the sun has been derived from OBJ
serving them. Many dates in ancient
history have been verified, for the time
of their occurrence can be calculated
with accuracy. Euring the cele-
brated eclipse of July %, 1873,
Edison, the American electrician, OBJ
tanned clear evidence that heat was
emitted by the sun corona. A delicate
heat measurer, called the tasimeter, of
his own invention, was used, and,
though Edison could not measure the
heat Of the corona, yet he obtained I'M
mistakable evidence of its existence
He was only prevented from measuring
it by the intensity being greater than he
expected. The index, which was to
show by pointing to some part of a
scale the exact amount OF heat received
from the corona. went off the scale al
together as soon as the suns heat fell
on the tasimeter Before the index
could be- brought back again to tho
scale the sun had reappeared
1t was also shown in the same eclipse
that the corona ordinarily seen is in
reality but small part of the real sys-
tem Of appendages existing outside OF
the sun. Professor Able, Of Washing
ton, by observing the eclipse from sta
ions high above sea level, traced the
,OrOnal streamers to distance of ten
sun breadthes. or at least 800, 100
miles from the sun, while Professor
Newcomb traced the coronal luminosity
along the zodiacal region to a distance
twice as great. Sot at now it is known

If the suns rays, by shining in matter
round the moon or on one side of the
moons p sth, produced the coronal rays
it is evident that, as the eclipsing moon
passed onward, the long rays would

Immediately upon whale being har-
pooned, he sounds, that is, goes under
water at lightning speed, as does also
the line to which he is attached, making
it necessary to throw water upon it to
prevent it from taking fire from the
friction. It has been claimed that
whales can run at speed Of mile q
minute. They cannot remain long be-.
low, but must come up to breathe.
When q whale is struck, the boat
steerer is relieved by the header, and he
mans the steering until the whale turns
M; when whale dies his belly turns
uppermost. Then the boats are all
fastened together, the sails hoistcd and
then commences long, tedious pull.
You might think they would lay to and
let the ship come up. The ship doe-
come mp as fast as it can, but it has to
beat up, for whales invariably run to
windward and oftentimes boat is miles
away from the ship when a pr g is cap
tured Not fire uent!y darkness over
takes them long way from their berths.
