If you could stand on the MOON 20

times larger than the sun appears 10

the diameter Of the moon. therefore
she must necessarily show the moonitcs

moon shows us. The sun. on the other
hand, would appear 10 larger to You
from your observatory on the moon
than il does from our globe. The

To Mend Tortoise Shell.

Two broken pieces Of tortoise she'll

edges down with a rasp till each piece
has an edge like a chisel. These two
edges are then made to overlap one an

water. are tightly held together in a
clamp or wise. The heating must be
very carefully done. SO as to avoid

The following method Of making this
jelly vas discovered by accident: A
certain good wife was o hurried one
day while canning peaches to pare
than. She wiped them with a damp
cloth. halscd them and dropped them
into the boiling strip. When the can
ming WA done there was a glassful Of
surplus juice. which, when cold. to the
lady's surprise. was a firmer jelly than
she had ever obtained before from this
fruit. Now, when a plentiful peach
year occurs, this -dy makes this jelly
by cutting mp the peaches with the
skins on and boiling them to pulp in
water. then straining and treating
like any other jelly. Country Gentle

has had experience teaming on an I'M
even farm knows that the power re-
quired is very much greater than is
needed on a level road. 1t not infre-
quently occurs that small loads must be
drawn from the most distant parts Of

much annoyance both To the team and
to the driver and would enable the
farmer to push his work much O
rapidly than he otherwise can do.
In some cases the hard pull comes al
some point where ruts have been
formed. Here, there is not merely a
great increase in the labor Of the
teams. but there also is a severe and
an altogether unnecessary strain upon
the wagons and carts Many a wheel
has been spoiled. and a considerable
bill for repairs has beer incurred, by
means of these ruts. The DELAY and in
convenience caused by such a break
down are always vexatious. and the ex-
pcnse involved is not always met with
good humor. If the time lost in wait
ing to have the necessary repairs to the
wagon made were used putting the
ROAD into good condition future losses
and annoyances from this source might
be- avoided. and occasion for the use of
a good deal Of very bad language would
be prevented.
To make first-class highways. over
which thousands of teams are to pass
every year, requires a good deal of sci
entific knowledge. Such knowledge.
though valuable, is not indispensable
in making farm roads. In order to
keep it dry and hard the road should
be IA little higher in the middle than It
is at the sides. Ruts should he pre-
vented by forming As solid a road bed
rs possible, and making repairs as soon
a the least depression in the wheel
tracks is observed. Where the road
passes through wei ground the bed
should be somewhat elevated. and q
trench should be made at each side for
