ABOUT OUR SUN AND NOON.

A NEW theory in relation to the moon
has lately been advanced, TO the effect
that the lights and shadows Of the moon
are incompatible with the theory Of il
spherical shape.
A GERMAN capitalist has offered . re
ward Of 81, 900 to any astronomer who
can satisfactorily prove to him that the
sun. the moon, or any ono Of the stars
Il inhabited, or that It contains any
solid matter Whatever.
The brightness of the moon is not 90
very much greater than tho brightness
Of the same area Of sky. The total
light Of the full moon can Be compared
with the total light Of the sun. though
It i very difficult problem, and the ne
suit win be that the sun Is a. bright as
CSC, 900 full moona
BIZ q comparison Of records extending
over . number Of years it has been con-
cluded that the moon has an influence in
lowering the height Of the barometer
in the months from September to JAM
uary ut the time Of full moon. and in
raising Il during the first quarter. Nc
effect has been perceived in the other
months.
Sun spots arc cavities in the surface
Of the sun filed with gases. They arc
generally distributed in groups, Princi-
pally In two zones which cover the sur
face Of the sun lying between ten de-
grees and thirty-five degrees north and
south Of its equator. Their size varies
from those just visible with the most
powerful telescope to those 100, 900 miles
In diameter.

be best to feed the calves rather than

principal advantage In this Is that In .

be added TO the sweet milk, and this
can gradually be increased and the
quantity Of fresh milk decreased until
the return can be almost il not entirely

All things considered. the best plan

more trouble it is to wean. both with

of weaving il avoided, Is well - tho
difficulty caused BY soro or cracked
teats. The calves should have q warm
shelter when they come early, and
after the weather gets warm and dry
they should have . pasture to them
selves where they can eat grasA They
will learn to eat very soon. Some
let the calves suck q few days, and
then take them of and feed; but the
cow will worry less. and. all things
considered, it is less trouble all around
to take tho calf away without allow.

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.

Do Not Expose Then to the Influences q
Wet and DRY Weather.
Tools and implements arc damaged
more BY rust and exposure to alternate
rain and sunshine than BY actual usage.
Rain and dew will rust the bright jour
nal bearings of farm implements on
one side, perhaps. rendering that side
rough. Then that side Of the bearing
will begin to cut o. wear away; and
- soon - one side of journal begins
to wear it will wear faster and faster
until the bearing is damaged beyond
repair. requiring the substitution of .
new Journal. Rain and dew will ex.
pand tho woodwork of implements and
soften tho grain of the surface, after
which the heat Of tho sun will dry and
crack the wood, making numerous
small assures for water to enter. Plow.
handles and many other parts of imple-
ments that have been bent after they
have been exposed to tho influences Of
rain and sunshine lose their desired
form and shape. Shovel handles,
scythe snatha, cradle fingers and some
other bent portions of hand tools and
horse implements are often ruined by
exposure to storm and sunshine. Let
Il be IN inflexible rule Of the farm that
tools and implements must not be left
outdoors. exposed to the damaging in.
Auences of wet and dry weather. Let
every helper understand that he must
clean hoes, shovels and spades, wipe
the blades dry and put them under shell
