rising to the height of mile, contain

it opens a parachute, which causes it

II SHOWS come and stay the soil must

have often open winters in snow re-
gions where the surface freezes and
thaws, and the wind blows away for

Does the farmer realize how much
soil he loses in winter from fields
plOwed the season before and left "dcs-
clate" all winter? If the fields are on
the windward side of grass land CT
other fields, pastures, for example.
then he docs not lose this fertility that
is transferred by the wind, if the
| fields adjoining belong to him, but even
in this case the fertility is carried from
one field to another. The farmer. how
terial, and wants it to stay where he
puts it.
But if his plowed land is on the road
side, or alioins the field of his neigh

and fourth, when it is plowed in the

Origin OF Mathematical Signs.


The sign OF addition is derived from
the initial letter OF the word "plus."
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly I'M
til the top part OF the ZIP" was finally
placed near the center, hence the plus
sign, as you know it, was gradually
reached.
The sign of subtraction was
derived from the word "minus." The
word was first contracted in m,
n, 8, with horizontal line above to
indicate that some OF the letters had
been left cut. At last the letters were
omitted altogether, leaving only the
short line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus signinto the letter
x. This was done because multiple
cation is but O shorter form of addi-
ton.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a horizon
tai line and the divisor below. In
order to save space in printing, the
dividend was placed to the left and
the divisor to the right. After years
of evolution" the two DIS were omit.
ted altogether, and simple dots set in
the place of each. As with the others,
the radical sign was derived from the
initial letter OF the word 'radix."
The sign of equality was first used
in the year 1857 by sharp mathe-
matician, who substituted it to avoid
frequently repeating the words equal
