SPLENDID FARM CROP.

Probably no forage crop has attract

that position was once obtained IL aG-
vanced very rapidly in public favor.
This is largely due TO the fact that The
experiment stations took up the COW
pea and investigated ii. They found
il to be very good plant for the col
lection of nitrogen and its intrOduc-
tion into the soil. The farmers arcu now
in close touch with the experiment sta

pressed on the notice Of The farmers
wherever the pea can be- success fully
and safely grown. We 90 not hesitate
10 say that If we had no experiment
stations the COW pea would be Stin
struggling for recognition. Without
doubt the cow pea is destined to play
a much larger part in our agriculture
than at present. There is no reason
why the farmers that have ground in
the early crops in the spring and first

COW peas afterward. OF course the pea !

CHEAP MOTIVE POWER.
SmnlI Gasoline Engine VIII Do
More Work, at Less Expense,
Than Wind or Water.

The ingenious farmer can contrive
many ways whereby natural forces may
be made to serve his purposes. lie
can so harness water that il will grind
feed, she'll corn, saw wood and chop
feed; he can secure the services of the
wind for similar purposes, and there
are gasoline engines, tread powers and
steam powers ever ready to do his
bidding. These last three are DOW.
ers which manufacturers have for sale.
while the water and wind power NAV
be secured without much cost.
1t IS astonishing how much work can
be gotten out Of little gasoline en-
CINE; it will earn its price every week
on an ordinary farm. It's feed is cheap
and its durability and strength are re-
markable. And another important
thing is the engine is cheap. 1t can be
used for a great variety of work re-
quiring motive power. For running
the corn shelter, ensilage cutter, corn
husker, wheat fan, grain cleaner, bean
huller, etc., it is a great convenience.
The price Of gasoline engines makes |
their purchase more practicable than
TO attempt to secure the services of |
the wind or of water. Besides. thev
are so much more reliable.-Farmer's

ure it's parallax, and hence the size Of
the earth's orbit
To explain how this may be done II
must be promised that it is easily pos
sible to draw an accurately proper
toned diagram of the planetary sys-
tenn; the problem lies in finding the
scale for such diagram. If the length
Of one line be known, the lengths Of all
others follow from it, and hence the
knowledge of the distance of the earth
or any other planet from the sun is OBJ
tanned. The distance of Eros from the
! earth, which, being comparatively
I small offers chance of success, is to be
determined by means of the principle
| that, as it is in the foreground Of the
celestial scene, it will change it's appa-
| rent position with reference to the more
distant points of view; SO that Aneri-
can and European astronomers, OBJ
serving simultaneously, will not see it
quite in the same place on the stellar
background; nor, indeed, will a single
observer see 1t in the same place in the
morning and evening, as the rotation
Of the earth supplies the necessary diff
ference in the point Of view, and this
small displacement, amounting, per-
haps, to twenty seconds of are, the
equivalent Of a third of milIimeter on
Photographic plate of the size gene
rally used, is the key to the solution.
There is nothing in the way of specta-
Gle to greet the eye of the stargazer--
merely a small smudge on a photo
graph, for like some other babies, this
celestial baby will not stay still to have
it's likeness taken, which comes out as
a blur instead of a sharp-cut disk, as
those Of the fixed stars, and this may
prove to be. a factor which will detract
from complete success.
At conference of astronomers Of
many nations held in Paris in July
last, it was decided to organize re-
search on these lines, and the work is
now beginning. Fifty observatories
have given in their adhesion to the
committee Of which the astronomer
Royal and Sir David Gill are members,
and will follow the plans laid down in
the circulars being issued from Paris
In the name of the director of the Ma

LAzINEss PERsONIFIED.

An Austrian prince once sent his SER
want to a painter, remarkable for his
idleness as we'll as skill, and gave him a
picture to copy. ItAwas the painting of
an old farmhouse. In a few days the
servant went to see what progress had
been made and on his return informed
the prince that all was done but one
chimney, on which the painter was
then employed. A week passed and the
picture was not returned. The prince
then resolved to go himself He did SO,
and found the artist still at the unfin-
ished chimney Flow is this?" said
the prince severely; "all this time en-
ployed on one chimney"

Astronomers Hope That Observation
VIII Supply a Scale to Plot of the
Universe.
1t is not so long ago as to be beyond
the memory of persons in middle life
that the question of the observation of
the transit of venus was the topic of
discussion in the public press. The
government of that day, apprecia ting
the rarity of the phenomenon and the
advisability of utilizing the opportuni-
ties for determining the SUMS distance,
which it was then thought could best
be done at such times, voted liberal
supplies to pay the expenses of expe-
ditions to observe Venus as she crossed
the suns disk in the years 1874 and
1882. 1t is casting no reflection on the
observers or on persons who organized
to say that the result attained was
scarcely commensurate with the money
and energy expended, for it was previ-
ously known that Encke's estimate of
ninety-five million miles as the mean
distance of the earth from the sun was
too large by two or three million; but
there was diversity of opinion az to
whether the true distance was more
lion miles, and the observations Of the
transits OF Venus did not do mucn TO
lessen this uncertainty. There seemed
to be inherent difficulties In the matter
with which no skill could cope.
But chance and the advance of sci
ence have given astronomers the means
of solving the problem of the SUMS dis
lance with more ease, and, it is hoped.
with more certainty 1t was, to a great
extent, chance that led to the discove-
ry, In 1898, of small planet which, ex-
cepting our satellite, comes nearer to
the earth than any other body of the
planetary system. An epoch of near
approach is at hand, and at the end of
this year Eros which is the name given
to this small but useful body will be
only about thirty million miles from us.

DAY NURSERY,
Children Cared for During Working
Hours Cents a Day.

Children Cared for During working
Hours Cents a Day.
The first day nursery, 1.-THE Leila, u
was started seventeen years ago last
March bv five or six ladies, who felt
that New Haven certainly ought to
have one or more places where poor wo-
men, who are obliged to support them
selves, could leave their children in
safety, while they went out to work. At
first one good sized room was hired for
the purpose at Ga William street, whxe
for quite a long time only four or five
children We're brought daily. But little
by little, as it became known among the
poor people that there was such a thing
as day nursery, the numbers steadily
increased. In August, 1887 the society
was incorporated under the name of
1.-THE Mothers Aid society" Under such
name is could in addition to
the day nursery, add any branch of
work that would in any way help poor
women, and it soon did add an intelli-
gence department, by which the first
year of it's existence, 1885, twenty-four
women got employment, while in the
year from May, 1899, to May, 1900, be-
tween 1.-THE Leila" and 1.-The Hope"
nurseries 6,755 days work were procur-
ed for different women. Owing to the
liperality OF It's many friends, in addi-
ton to various entertainments given for
the purpose, 1.-THE Mothers Aid society"
raised enough money with which in 1889
to purchase the house SO Greene street,
where "The Leila" nursery now is. 1t
was through the generous and unsolicit-
ed gift of the then unknown donor Mrs
Oliver F. Winchester, that the society
was enabled in 1894 to purchase a house
in a different part of the city, 107 Hill
street, in which it established "The
Hope" nursery. The expenses of running
both nurseries the past year, including
over $500 for necessary repairs and
furnishings. was $3,015.29 Whole num-
