The Earth's Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once in each twenty-four hours.
But few, however. have any idea of the
high rate of speed at which such an i'm
mense ball must turn in order to ac-
complish the feat of making one revOlu-
ton in day and a night. A graphic
idea of the terrible pace which the
old earth keeps us year after year may
be had by comparing its speed to that
of a cannon ball fired from a modern
high-pressure gun. The highest vel0c-
ity ever attained by such missile has
been estimated at 1852 feet per second,
which is equal to a mile in three and
tw0-tenths seconds. The earth. in max
ing one complete revolution in the short
space of twenty flour hours. must turn
with velocity almost exactly equal to
that Of the cannon ball. In short, it's
rate OF speed at the equator is exactly
1.501 feet per second. This is equal to
a mile every three and six-tenths sec
0nds. seventeen miles minute

ing the summer season. A heavy
growth of grass or weeds about the
trees makes excellent nests for mice
during the winter, and where rubbish
heaps have been allowed to accumu-
late in the orchard, especially If it is
near a forest. rabbits will almost in
variably congregate. Under these con-
ditions the young trees will almost GER
tainly suffer from the ravages OF one or
both of these pests. 1t is important,
therefore. that this matter be attended
&c at once.
There are various remedies recon-
mended for these evils; the first ana
most successful Of which is clean Guilt
walton. II this has not been followed
then remove all loose mulch, dead
grass and rubbish of various KINDS
from the immediate vicinity OF the
base Of the trees. This will destroy
the nesting places of mice, and will go
far towards protecting the trees from
injury. Then, in addition to the
above, make a smooth, compact MOUND
of earth, foot high, about the base OF
the trees. just before the ground
freezes. These two precautions Will
be all that is necessary to insure pro-
lection against mice.
Rabbits are not so liable to inJure
trees where there are other smail
plants, such as young grape vines or
nursery stock in the immediate vlcln-
ity of the orchard. as they seem to de-
light in cutting off the young tender
| branches in preference to gnawing the
bark of older trees. 1t is always safe,
however. to protect the trees, and a
favOrite method is to wrap the trunks
| with closely woven wire screen, such as
is used for screen doors. This may De
cut into strips eighteen inches to two
feet in length and wide enough to
completely encase the body Of the tree
These may be tackled on or the edges
woven together, and if they do not
fit too closely may be left on for sew
eral years. Instead of the wire screen
ordinary roofing tin is sometimes used
Sheathing paper is also used with good
effect, placed on the tree in a similar
| manner. If one is located near a
slaughter house, very convenient a.
we'll as effectual method is to wash the
trunks of the trees with blood or ran
cid grease This. however, is liable Il
be washed off by rains, and would neeC
renewal several times during the WIN
ter. These and doubtless other rem
edies will prove effectual If properly
applied BY giving this matter imme'
date attention, much damage to the
young orchards may be prevented.

for such ii in fact is-are about 12x12

in these the valuable kegs are stored.
Although the freight charge on each
million of gold is $1.250-more than ten
first-ciass fares for the passage-no ex-
ira precautions are taken to guard the
treasure while on the sea. This is prl-
marily due to the fact that it would be

An insurance against loss may be had
of nearly all OF the insurance brokers.
There are three classes of insurance
total loss, partial loss and general av-
erage loss. The total and partial loss
requires no explanation, but the third
is not so we'll understood.
Should the ship break down at sea
and require assistance to reach port,
the salvage allowed by the marine laws
is an unusually large sum. For this
every bit of the cargo and every timber
in the ship are liable, the vessel itself
first and the cargo afterwards. So to

Education on the Farm.

The farmers profession can be ele-
waited above its present standard only
as the children improve upon the meth
DDS of their parents. President Chad-
bourne of the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural college once said that the way for
young men to rise in the world was to
stand upon the shoulders of their faith
ers. We miss half the wear and tear in
life when We acquire the faculty OF
profiting by the experience Of other
men. 1t proves nothing. that some fine
~ educated man has failed in farming,
or that some uneducated men have sue
ceeded. Education will help man, but
it will never make one. When it can
be proved that majority of educated
men upon the farm are failures and
majority Of the uneducated successful.
we shall all begin to question the pro-
priety and value of education for the
farmers profession. But until that is
proved We shall believe that the farm
er's business stands upon the same
basis that supports all other kinds of
business, that the general education
which is useful to the doctor, the law
yer, the man upon the board of trade
is Just as valuable to the man who tills
the soil, and that professional training
in schools Of agriculture will have the
worth upon the farm that the knowl-
edge and discipline of the law school
has in practice before the courts.
One thing more. The circumstances
of a farmers life are such that he is
brought into closer, because more con-
slant contact with his family than men
engaged in other pursuits. His part
nership with the companion Of his life
is, in business sense, certainly a very
close one. Side by side they often per-
form the same kinds of labor, and the
silent partner not unfrequently bears
the heaviest burdens. Many Of US in
the rush and amid the distracting cares
of our business, forget that woman's
strength is not mans strength, that
ceaseless monotony of toll takes laugh
ter from the lips, roses from the cheeks
and health from the body. No sensible
man would desire that farmers wives
should be transformed into useless orna-
ments; but it should be the aim of farm
ers who would do honor to their profess
sion to make their mothers and wives
and daughters something more than
mere household drudges, to give them
an opportunity, as far as means will per-
NIT. to satisfy those fancies and tastes.
to cultivate those graces and those tai

of the request is that if it were made
it would be as promptly turned down.
The sub-treasury will redeem govern
ment obligations in gold, but as 20 the
denomination of the specie there is no
specific agreement in the contract OF
the notes. Therefore the gold is hand
ed out is best suits the treasury Oh

carts the yellow metal in bars or in

Once in the Office it is packed ready

of the kegs which hold it while in tran

When a banker has such debts, which
may be his own or his customers. the
first thing he does is to draw check
for the amount upon his bank in "le-
gals" that is in legal tender notes. 1t
is we'll understood that these notes are
redeemable in gold upon presentation
at the treasury in Washington or at
any of the sub-treasuries.
1t would be matter of great incon-
venience for any employe of the bank
er to carry the actual greenbacks from
the bank to the sub-treasury. There
would be, besides, the risk of daylight
robbery. To facilitate and simplify
the transaction the bank issues GER
tificate payable upon the demand of the
treasury officials for the amount. This,
when presented at the sub-treasury, is
good for it's face value in either gold
coin or gold bars. 1t is by no means the
easiest thing in the world to obtain the
yellow metal on demand. The vaults
of the sub-treasury are not inexhaust-
ible, and if there does not happen to be
a sufficient supply of gold on hand each
applicant must patiently await his turn.
