Wheat Experimen ents.

Trials for three years made at the Illi-
nois experiment station indicate that va
riations in quantity of seed between one
and two bushels per acre have less effect
on yield than other conditions have. In
1891 the largest yield was from six pecks
per acre; in 1890, from four and from
eight pecks; in 1899, from five pecks. In
1891 sowing small kernels gave larger
yield than was obtained from the same
weight of larger kernels, but less than
from the same number of larger kernels.
The kernels in the crop from the small
seed were approximately as large as
those from the larger seed. In two trials
no injury resulted from rolling drilled
wheat soon after sowing.
The yields Of five plats sown at inter
walls of ten or twelve days, from Sept.
to Oct. IA, were all good-30.S, 36.4 bush
els per acre. 1t is not certain that they
were affected by the date of sewing. If
the last sown plats be excepted there was
no appreciable difference in the time of
ripening and very little including it.
Selected wheat kernels were planted in
rows one foot apart, one kernel for each
inch, in three plats of three rows each.
In each plat of three rows the wheat was
covered one inch, three inches or five
inches. The yields diminished with the
increased depth of planting. The results
of all trials with commercial fertilizers
on wheat at the station indicate that
such fertilizers are not profitable on the
black prairie soils of central Illinois.

The New Astronomy.

The instrument of the new astronomy Is
the spectroscope, and the novelty of its use
lies in this: That, whereas it was formerly
used to ascertain the chemical constitution
of the stars, IL is now being used to deter
mine their movements. Sir Robert Ball,
the Irish astronomer, 10y the by, tells us
that "the ordinary expression, fixed star,
is a misnomer. When the place Of n star
has been accurately determined by meas
urement made with the meridian circle,
and when after the lapse of a number
of years the place of the same star is
again determined by observation, it fire.
quently happens that the two places
disagree The explanation is that the
star has moved in the interval. And it
is infinitely improbable that any really
fixed star exists" The usual method Of
determining the movements Of stars is
by the telescope and the meridian circle.
But there are some movements, Sir Robert
points out, which cannot be thus measured.
These are the cases when a star happens to
be darting directly toward the observer or
directly from him. In such cases the tel
escopic method is inapplicable, because the
observer would not notice any change in
the star's position. at is just here that
the spectroscope comes in to fill the vacant
place in the armory of the astronomer"

or straining in their movements. If you
had road like that from your farm to
town, you might do all your hauling
with two horses and save yourself an
immense expense.
The farmers of this country raised
something like $4,000, 900 tons of hay last
year and every pound of that hay was
moved at an expense of twice as much
power as ought to be necessary; and you
must know, also, that this picture of a
French road is by nc means a special or
uncommon one; such roads may be found
anywhere among the better countries Of
Europe. France alone has about 13C, 900
miles of roads practically as good as this
one, and yet her territory is only about
four times as large as that Of the state
of New York.
To emphasize the Importance of good
roads is appended the following telegram
sent over the wires of the Associated
Press from Burlington, Ia, during the
latter part of the month Of December:
at would take a round 81 ,000, 900 to even
up the losses in trade to the merchants,
shippers and farmers in Iowa, on account
of the fearful mud blockade which ex-
lists, not only in Iowa, but all over the
Mississippi valley. For two weeks coun-
try roads in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois
have been hub deep in mud, and farm
ing communities have been virtually
padlocked ON the farm"

Anecdotes Of n Baby King.

His majesty Don Alfonso XIII, king of
Spain, who was born in 1885, is the subject
of numerous anecdotes all of which have
been recently collected and published in
book form under the title THE Biography
of a Baby King" Following is a story of
his first boots:
In due time the pair of royal feet required
to be shod, as baby feet generally do, so in
his fourth month the foot Of the baby king
was duly measured, the royal bootmaker
was duly instructed and the royal shoes
were in due time sent home Beautiful OBJ
jects they were, too; tiny, Of course, as be-
fitted baby, but lovely to look at; gold
embroidered ON white, as befitted a king.
And the same day that Alfonso XIII put
on his shoes 600 other new shoes were put
on GOO other baby feet in Madrid, max.
ing COZ in all, for her majesty the queen
was pleased to ordain that the occasion of
the kings putting on his boots should be
a ceremony, and to celebrate the important
event she bestowed new shoes upon 800 of
the poor children in Madrid, and thus
made right royal entertainment Of the
matter.

went to the shop but no baker was there.
So he waited and waited and waited. Still

The French Farmer with His Load of
Hay Suggests a Practical Lesson.
Here is a picture taken from a photo
graph of o French road, showing q
French farmer with his load of hay, on
his way to market nine miles distant.
Isaac B. Potter, the editor of Good
Roads, says in comment of the foregoing:
It will do you good to look at this pic
ture. There are something like four
tons of hay in that Frenchmans load,
or about IA tons for each horse. No
tice the surface of the road. 1t is hard
and smooth, nicely sloped in both di-
rections so as to insure quick drainage;
the wheel tires are fully 81 times
as wide as those on your wagon, and
they roll over the surface Of the road in
manner that tends TO plalSe it hard
and smooth instead of cutting and Gre
ating ruts, as is always the case when
narrow tires are used. Notice the height
of the load it towers up among the trees,
and it's immense bulk gives it the APP
pearance of an American haystack; COM
pare its height with the height of the
driver who walks along by the roadside
or with the size of the chaise which you
see coming along Immediately behind.

are moving as comfortably as you can
wish, and there is no sign of tugging

Natural Gas.

The Engineering and Mining Journal is
authority for the statement that while
there has been temporary increase in the
flow Of natural gas in the Pennsylvania
fields during the past few months, the out
put of the Indiana and northwestern Ohio
fields has continued to decrease at an alarm
ing rate. 1t is said that not more than one
tenth of the factories in the latter district
are now using natural gas, and so uncer-
tain has the supply become that many pri-
vate families are returning to the use of
wood and coal for fuel. From present in
dications the western Pennsylvania fields
will outlast those of Ohio and Indiana.

The special characteristics that distin-
guish the gorilla from the similar apes,
such as the orang-outang, the chimpanzee
and the gibbon, are, says The Popular Sci
ence News, indicated in the picture and
comprise the black or grayish hair, the
slightly prominent nose, the excessively
large nostrils the slightly projecting lips
medium sized ears and relatively short
arms The gorilla does not bear captivity
well and the few that have been brought
from their native Africa have soon died,
although the one represented in the en-
craving was at last accounts still living at
Nice.
The chimpanzee is, among all the other
anthropoid apes, the one which comes
nearest to man in form and intelligence.
