an interesting story, whether regarded
from the scientific or the popular point
of view. The lucky accident by which
3 package of sterilized milk shipped
from Uruguay to Chicago was found to
contain what Prof. Conn had been
looking for for years is almost suggest
shows that modern science is far from
lacking in the mysterious and fasci-
mating.
The watchword of science is vertical
ton. and in this case it was pursued
unfinchingly for months, until the re-
suits followed the application with
such uniformity and regularity that it
could confidently be declared that the
point of demonstration had been
reached. 1t is not strange that when
the discovery was first made public it
was received as the vagary of a crank,
and dismissed with humor and sarcasm;
nor is it surprising that the people en-
gagged in butter-making looked on it
with doubt and distrust. The dis
coverer, however, was sure of his
ground, and brief course of expert
mentation was usually sufficient to
convince the skeptical that there was
something practical in it. In scores of
creameries "B. Al is now regularly
used, and new industry has sprung
up in-we will not say the manufac-
ture, but the production of the ''cul-

something better may not be found

the highest market price, and will, of
course, be much in request as soon as

condition of the roads during several
months of the year. The average cost
of constructing gravel roads is various
~ estimated at from $1,000 to 81, per
mile, according to the locality. Dirt
roads require two-thirdS of that sum
to keep in repair for ten years, while
the former method, it is figured, adds
SO an acre to the value of the prop
erty.
The increase in the value of the
property is not the only return that q
farmer gets from his investment in
good roads. Gen. Stone, of the federal
department of agriculture, has found
three independent estimates which
place the yearly loss to farmers in the
United States from bad roads at about
$780, OO0, 900, equivalent to 81 an acre
annually. Capitalized at 5 per cent.
this amount if saved would increase
the value of farm land $50 an acre, or a
total increase of S12, o0O, 900, 900. AS the
total value of all farms is about s26.-
OOO 900, 900 this would be an increase of
so per cent in their value. AS the
total annual value of farm products is
only 81, 600, 600, 900, one-fourth of it's
value is lost through bad roads.
Comparisons have also been made
with foreign countries. The English
horse does twice the work of the
American horse, the French horse three
times the work; not because they are
better horses, but because they travel
better roads. Mr.. Wollen estimates
the annual cost of maintaining a horse
at 500. If only one-fourth of the
horses in Illinois could be spared, in
stead of one-half or two-thirds as in
England or France, the annual saving
in horse maintenance for this state

returns than the money devoted to the
roads. The League of American Wheel
men has been gathering statistics on
the question for a number of years.
One case that points a moral as well
as can be desired is that of the village
of Moorstown, N. j. For number of
years real estate there was not market
able at any price. The country was
in a wretched condition. Finally the
town supervisors got together and
voted bonds to the extent of forty
thousand dollars for road building,
with the result that real estate is now
enjoying a steady demand and the
country is being supported by garden
truck that can only be trans ported to
market by teams.
Realf ing that the matter of road inn
provement could best be brought to
the attention of the farmer by an ar
gument of dollars and cents, the league
has compiled great deal of literature
on the direct cost of building roads
and the direct returns that such an
outlay will produce. Taking the state
OF Illinois, it Ii found there has been
built during the past ten years oS5
miles of improved roadway. This inn
provement has been confined to thirty
counties In forty-five other counties
the roads are what arc termed mud
roads Basing calculations on the Last
ten years it is found the thirty improved
counties have been assessed for the
building and care Of the highways q
total of 50, o34, SAG. In the Maud districts
there has been spent 90, 606, 840. or hear
ly two-thirds as much. and they are In
no better condition than they were ten
years ago
A comparison of values shows that
the land In the improved counties has
an average value Of S9I. % IN acre. while
that in the mud district Il valued al
$l2.97 an acre The total assessment on
behalf of roads has been sA55 for each
500 valuation in the improved coun-
ties, while those districts that have
spent their money In piling the mud
up in the center of the roads couple
of times year have saved - cents on
each 500, an amount that has In ell
likelihood been spent many times over

alone would be $40, 900, 900. Prof. Ely
holds that poor roads cost the farmer
SIS per horse.
The truth of the facts as they are set
forth by the league is rapidly being
realized by the farmers with the result
that each year adds to the list of con-
verts, till now the time seems nearly at
hand when the entire country will en-
ter into an era of scientific road build.

A FAMOUS RUSSIAN REGIMENT.

Organized by Peter the Great and Always
 Q Favorite with the Czar.
 The Preobrajenski regiment of the imperial guards, which has taken so important part in the ceremonies ac- companying the funeral of the late AL eXander III., and which has had the honor of precedence over all the other regiments of Russia, in so far as to be first among the troops to take the oath of allegiance to the youthful Czar Nicholas H., is one of the oldest regi- ments in the army of the imperial guard and may be said to owe its origin to Peter the Great, who, when but boy at Preobraj jensl1i, near Mos COW, formed his playmates into a little band of miniature soldiers, and thus at the age of eleven years gave an early proof of his faculty for organization. This little force was subsequently, called "La Compagnie de Divertisse- ment de Pierre le Grand" It was the wish of his imperial highness the late Czar Alexander III. to be inferred in the uniform of his favorite regiment, as indeed it was also the desire of his predecessor, Alexander II.
 The present Car Nicholas II. is colonel of the famous Preobrajenski regiment, and at the various state functions consequent to his office al most invariably wears the costume of the regiment to which he is most at tached. The uniform is dark blue one, and his imperial majesty, when attired in the full dress uniform of his rank, with golden epaulettes and wear ing the light blue riband of the Order of St. Andrew, is said to look exceed ingly well.

Spraying Garden Trees.

In many suburban homes there are only a very few trees, but these need spraying just as much as the trees in big orchards. The question is how to do it most cheaply and conveniently It may not pay to buy expensive pumps and fxings for these small operations. To owners of garden fruit trees who have command of water under pressure a writer in the New York Tribune sug- gests the following method: Introduce the spraying mixture by means of fun nel into the ordinary garden hose, filling up the section or sections; attach hose to the supply pipe; adjust the sprayer (generafly in use on garden hose) so that the tree is reached throug hout, and on turning on the water the spray ing solution will be driven steadily out and will be quite under control. When the spray begins to come clear it should of course be turned off at once.

the possibilities in ginseng culture. l have at this writing December, '9G 3S beds in the garden stocked with roots and seeds, 25,000 seeding roots in forest nursery beds, 21,000 seeds sown in forest, from which plants are expected next spring, and this seasons crop of seed, packed in loam in condition to promote germination, ready to be sown next season. 1 have also during the with over 6O,000 seeds and about 1,5OO roots for cultivation I am aware of the general impression that ginseng culture is a slow business, and that it cannot be made a profitable success. admit that 1t is slow starting and must be worked up from small beginnings, but when once fairly started can be developed quite rapidly. But no one need think he can rush into ginseng culture and make fortune in one or two years. Setting few roots or sow ing a few seeds, and giving it no turth- CT attention, will never develop ginseng culture on paying basis. It WOh t'ICelu OfCA yOul SlOudQ 1ihc weeds.
 k To my mind the business is best suited to the small farmer and market gardener
 A Chinaman came to Boston a few years ago wanting five hundred tons of ginseng-he succeeded in getting about four hundred pounds. This is the way we are supplying the demand. The ex- ports of ginseng ofrom the United States during ten years, 1sS2-1S91, amounted to nearly eight million dol lars-an item of some importance. This valuable source of income will soon be thing of the past, unless an effort is made to develop it's cultiva- tion, as the wild plant is fast being ex- hausted in this country.
 Ginseng is native in China, Tartary and Korea. It has been cultivated in Korea for hundreds of years. It is a royal monopoly, cultivated under li- cense, and the value of the crop is esti- mated at five hundred thousand dollars year.
 am often asked how can we get started in ginseng culture. My advice to all is to go into the forest, gather the wild roots and transplant them. A few weeks devoted to this work each year for few years will give a good start.

How Astronomers Compute the Number
 in the Heavens.
 Let us see what richness of stellar distribution is implied by this number of 100, ,O0O,0 900 of visible stars, says the Gentlemans Magazine. It may be easily shown that the area of the whole sky in both hemispheres is 41,255 square degrees. This gives 2,424 stars to the square degree.
 The moons apparent diameter being slightly over half degree (31 deg. 5 min.). the area of it's disk is about one fifth of a square degree.
 The area of the whole star sphere is consequently about 100000 times the area of the full moon. A total of 10O,- 000,000 of stars gives therefore 300 stars to each space of sky in area to the full moon This seems a large number but stars scattered over as thiclkly as this would appear at a considerable dis tance apart when viewed with 6 tele- scope of a high power As the area of the moons disk contains about 7S0 square minutes of arc, there would not be an average of even one star to each square minute. A pair of stars half minute, or thirty seconds, apart would form q very wide double star, and with stars placed at even this distance the moons disl, would cover about 5000, or six times the actual number visible in the largest telescope

CULTURE OF GINSENG.
A Crop That Can Be Made to Pay Very
 Handsome Profits.

This has yielded me over $500 from less than two square rods of ground in less than five years. I have taken this season Qs94] from seven beds (3x16 feet each) 2,234 roots, weight 13l pounds. From these were taken out for replant- ing 1906 roots (50A pounds), leaving sO1l pounds to be dried for market, making 29I pounds dry, which sold for S5 per pound; 629 seeding roots, worth S2 per hundred, for transplanting, were also taken from the same beds, and are not included in above figures. The 2,234 roots had been under cultivation in one bed five years and in the other four years, and had produced during the time at least $75 worth of seed The first cost of stocking the beds with wild roots was less than $25. It will be observed that the stock has been de- creased only BPS roots.
