consider it duty to send to the Herald
drawing of the colossal spot which has
just crossed the solar disc and which be-
longed to a yet more gigantic group. This
extraordinary perturbation is the more re-
markable as the sun is approaching a mini

This group of spots was photographed and
drawn at the Juvisy observatory by M An
toniadi. 1t must have crossed the central
meridian on the 10th inst, which was very
misty day. and on which 1t was not possible
to see the solar disc distinctly tor a moment
According to its position ana the rotation of

that is to say, 106 seconds of the arc, or 49,

the diameter of the earth. Such dimensions
are very rare. The group extended over
diameter of 204, 600 kIometers.
There has certainly been i'll the sun a very
great recrudescence of activity which has

the action of the sun is exercised on our
planet through a space of las, 100000 kilo-
meters which remains dark and cold, but
it is difficult to doubt that there is a per-
petual connection, the study of which must
serve as the basis of the principles of future

borealis marked the passage of this group

Desirable horses are bringing better prices
than at any time in some months. In fact.
prices are better than at any time in the
last two years. The greatest demand seems
to be for good carriage horses, heavy draft
horses and matched pairs that are good

THE WESTERN FARMER.
Ii Is Great Race That Is Peopling
the Plains and Prairies.
Dr. Albert Shaw. in the century.


When one bears testimony to the fineness
and beauty of all this array of machinery
a beauty that lies in the ever-increasing per-
lection of its fitness for the conditions that
have to me met--one is really paying a
tribute to the brains, energy and character
of the Western farmer. / have been on the
Hungarian plains and witnessed the costly
attempts of a progressive government to
teach the landowners and peasants the use
of improved farm machinery imported from
America or else adapted from American
types. And l have also observed-what is
confessed by the government and noted by
all who visit those regions-the persistent
fact of scores of men, women and children
in the corn fields with old-fashioned hoes,
while long rows of White-tunicked men, in
the hay field or the ripe grain, are swing
ing sickles and short scythes. And a little
see the oxen treading out the grain, or to
hear the thud of the descending fail Mean
while, the new-fashiOned corn plows are
rusting; the rejected mower and reaping
machines rot in their neglected corners, and
the threshing machine is viewed askance as
an il-omened monStrOsity.
1t is all simply difference in men. 1t is
a great race that has peopled our praries
and plains. and that is producing corn,
wheat and oats by the thousands of mil
lions of bushels where only a few years ago
there was the ancient matted sod of the
who drive the gang-plow, ride the sulky Gull
tivator. manipulate the Irvine binder, and
send millions of horned cattle. hogs and
sheep to the packing establishments of
Omaha, Kansas City and Chicago are to be
credited with series of achievements
worthy not merely of respect. but even of
enthusiasm. l cannot for a moment doubt
the ability of such men to rear fine and
varied fabric of civilization upon so great
a material foundation.

Struck a Prosperous Time.

The local Touring mills, after three years
of depressed times, have reached point
which is quite satisfactory as to the volume
of business. In August and September the
mills came nearer turning out their full ca
pacity of product than in any months for
some years. For the month ending Sept 80
the local mills turned out 73,548 barrels of
flour, against 54.94 barrels in September,
1897, $3.50 barrels in 1885, and 2,454 barrels
in 1895. In August of this year the local
mills turned out 1897 barrels of -four, an
increase of 492 barrels over September. Lo-
cal mllers look for good month this Octo-
Der, although the export orders of the last
few days have not come in as freely as
early in September The millers have been
troubled considerably to get wheat, and
now have but small stock on hand. How
ever, they expect to experience no trouble
from this score after a few days, rs the
farmers will soon be through seeding. Lo-
cal millers now have enough flour sold to
keep them busy some weeks.
