RUNAWAY Stars.

There are certain class of stars
which fly through space with Il velocity
so enormous as to battle every attempt
to account for them. They are known
to the invsstio ators as runaway stars
and are no longer reckoned rs being
among the phenomena of extreme rari-
ty. One of these in the constellation of
the Great Bear known as Coon bridge,
$780, long led the van of stellar speed,
sweeping over at least eco miles of
space each second. Professor Prichard
has prov ed that the inconspicuous OBJ
ject called Cassiopela is a sun 10 times
more luminous than our own, and that
it is travelling at the prodiyious rate of
500 miles per secoLd. DR.. Elllins has
found something more wonderful in the
speed line in ArcturuS. which is jog
ging along at 400 miles second as Il
steady pace. but having strange bursts
of speed, during which time its velocity
is increased by about one-fOurth.
Some of the runaways fly along in
pairs and are therefore supposed to be
connected by some invisible 'bond of
union" This presumption was first
advanced some twenty-five years ago
and is even now being investigated by
he leaders in astronomical work.

Rall ReaHinCa.

New York Tribune: An experiment
with hall bearings was recently made
in Canada. A street car, fitted with
ball bearings, was drawn distance of
several hundred feet by men pulling on
three strands of ordinary sewing
thread. A carriage manufacturer put
another style of ball bearings on the
axles OF coach ordinarily pulled by
four horses. A trained dog was hitched
to the pole, and he drew the coach
around the yard with little effort. The
combination OF pneumatic tires and
ball bearings would evidently relieve
much of the strain now put on horses
drawing heavy vehicles, and here is u
tip for an enterprising carriage builder.

Selecting Wheat for Seed.

II. L. Eolley in a bulletin from the
North Dakota station gives the percent
age OF termination and the yield of
wheat from normal seed and from seed
frosted, winter bleached immature
and heated in the bin, The seed from
normal seed was much larger than that
from seed injured in any way. Normal
seed and Injured seed gave practically
the same weights for the same volume
of grain. Smutted wheat, however,
weighed slightly less for given vol
ume than sound wheat. The author
recommends selection by means of 4
tanning mill of large grains for seed.

In those portions of the arid and
semi-arid regions adapted to its growth
one of the surest and best paying crops
is the sugar beet. This is crop that
may be grown with but moderate
amount of irrigation if the ground is
properly prepared for the crop and the
most thorough cultivation is practised.
One of the prime requisites in growing
sugar beets for sugar making is that
the ground be plowea deeply. In no
other way is it possible to grow straight,
smooth roots, such as is required in su-
gar production. A stunted, scraggy
root, such as will be produced where
the subsoil is dry and hard, will not
yield satisfactory per cent of sugar.
Deep plowing and thorough surface
cultivation, the two requisites in pro-
ducing a good crop of sugar beets, are
also the two processes which most
surely and effectually conserve water
supply. Hence it is that if a crop of
beets is properly planted and culti-
waited the water used to irrigate them
can be made to 60 long way. A few
acres of sugar beets, well tended, will
pay the cultivator a larger profit than
4 big field of wheat at current prices,
according to the Irrigation Age.

How to Handle Poultry.

The Kansas Farmer says: Never
seize fowl by the tail. is a fine one,
nor touch the back, but grasp both
legs At once with a firm, tight, quick
hold, and then raise free from the
ground or perch and hang the body
down clear of any obstacle. This
method does not rufiie the plumage or
turn a feather, which in a fine bird
must be avoided. When the web of
the feathers is once broken it can
never be united again, and where much
handled this often occurs, giving the
bird a ragged appearance.

He said: AS your Father in heaven is

that as a standard and he who did most

Handling Manure.


Drawing out manure in the spring
when the work is pushing and
the ground is soft and muddy is
always q bother and q bugbesr
to the new hired man who comes
about that time. All this work could
be saved, and much more of the fer
tilizing value of the manure, bv draw
ing it out and spreading it as fast IS it
is made. Then, too, work is not SO
pushing and man has plenty of time
to draw out q load every day, or two
or three times . week.-Practical
Dairyman.
On this National Dairyman COM
ments as follows: All very plausible,
and indeed very practical on dead level
land, but what about hilly land, where
the most valuable part of the manure
will be washed away by the heavy
rains or rs the snow melts? There
are two sides to every question, and
while hauling load every day may be
economical in one way it means hitch
ing up for every load instead of for
half q days work. But that is the
smallest consideration. The main
thing is the horrible waste by spread
ing the green manure and exposing it
to alternate sun and rain. We con-
fess to an old fashioned liking for
manure heap under cover and well
cared for by pumping the liquid
manure over it now and then, increas-
ing its size by leaves, sweepings, ETC., e,
and it was with satisfaction that we
read in Hoard's Dairyman the follow
ing by Mr.. J. d Smith of Delaware
county, New York:
''SOme nine years ago we built our
house and found it necessary to tear
down our pig pen. The following sea-
son we concluded to build carriage
