From London has been reported the

that lightning is not one continuous
shaft of light, but is composed of
numberless rows of sparks. that follow

The apple exhibit at Paris Is likely
to attract a good deal Of attention from:
Europeans. It will not, consist Of the
short-keeping varieties to any extent,
but Of those apples that are known as
commercial apples, and that will stand

the Europeans is growing, and, the ex-.
hfbit at the exposition will doubtless
have the effect OF enlarging the mar.
ket. The only trouble that we see
ahead is the dificultyYof supplying the
demand. Good commercial apples are
very high in our markets the year
round, and Of course win be much
higher in foreign market, where the.
cost of transport, handling and addi-.
tional profits must be added. With
out doubt. there is no more encourag-
ing field for investment than in the line

sections of the country that are par

apples-sections where land is cheap
and unsuited to the production Of any

SubSOiliug for Grain.


1t will not. as a general thing, pay
to subsoil for grain crops. With the
low price of the cereals the increase
must be very considerable to pay cost
of the extra work. The work of sub
soiling is very great, the subsoiler hav-
ing to be hauled by from four to six
horses according to construction of the
subsoil. There are however some To-
calities where subsoiling for grains
will pay. = This will depend on a good
many circumstances that cannot be
pointed out specifically. For in
stance there are subsoils that are not
hard to stir up. There are farms
where the arrangements are such that
the men and horses have idle time,
and in such cases the subsoiling will
not be very expensive. Then too we
must make distinction between the
sections of country where the rainfall
is fairly good and the sections Of
country where the aridity is so great
that there is little or no water to hold
1t is believed that subsoiling is more
effective where the rainfall is fairly
good than where the rainfall is very
slight. This is because the subsoiilng
makes it possible for the ground to
hold more water and part of the
heavy precipitations is caught and held
in the reservoir that would otherwise
run off. In the case Of semi-arid lands
the water seldom falls in such quanti-
ties that the soil cannot retain it. "a

Within two weeks he had pulled two

stopped life-saving until January last,
when he rescued 10-year-old Michael

3 That's just the thing exclaimed
Tommy; so when they met the other
boys they told them the plan they had
made, which was just naughty enough

ions. %.s %gtEsSa +s !.
They made their rounds and hung
all their pretty baskets, but they were
in too great a hurry to get into mis-
chief to hide and wait to see if the
gifts reached the hands they were in
tended for. and when the last one was
gone Johnny Hopkins ran into the
barn and came back with large po--
tato sack.
They hurried to old Jones' house,
and crept up cautiously to the front
gate.
They were lucky enough to find the !.
dog, which was of a good-natured,
good-for-nothing kind, and easily
coaxed him away. But when they
tried to put him in the bag he objected
strongly and barked and yelped and
twisted and turned so vigorously that,
at last, he slipped out of their hands.
"There, now, our fun's spoiled, and

afraid the boys'd lick me if I didn't do
it, said Jimmy.
But Jimmy didn't have to tell the
lie. Old Jones, though cross and
stingy, knew boys pretty well, and
when he heard the dog bark and yelp
he suspected some trick and looked
out to see what was going on. So when
he heard a loud knock at his door and
heard the boys scampering down the
walk he opened the door quickly and
saw the bag lying on the top step.
It lay before him so temptingly that
he did not take the trouble to exam
inc it's contents, but putting his foot
under it carefully he sent it flying to
the ground.
Jimmy was not hurt much, but he
was lame and sore for a week, and ne
never wanted to play dog again.

The Future of Range Cattle,

T. F. B. Sotham of Chillicothe. Mo-,
contributed an interesting paper on
the future of range cattle, at the re-
cent meeting of live stock breeders in
Detroit. Mr.. Sotham said that calves
could be raised cheaper up to weaving
? time on the range than anywhere else.
But when they were wintered over
they would not weigh as much in the
spring as in the previous fall. The:
calves could not sustain themselves
like. older cattle. He thought that
eventually range calves would be ship
ped in the fall to the cultivated farms
of the western and middle states to be
matured and fitted for market. This
would save time, as there would not
be six months lost in the growth of the
calves as at present. In this way the
ranges and cultivated farms could keep
up profitable business, the range men
raising the calves till six months old,
up to which time they sucked their
dams and grew, as fast as they would
anywhere, and then selling them to
farmers and feeders who were pre-
pared TO carry them through the win
ter and keep them growing. The range
men would also have to depend upon
the breeders in the older states to keep
up the quality of their herds. They
must keep steadily improving their
herds by the use of the best bulls of
the beef breeds. AS the breeding of
these range herds improved, the quail
ity of the bulls selected would have to
improve also, and naturally prices like,

Speed Of Separators.

4 G. B. Fulmer says: A separator
should always be brought up to speed
very gradually. The time necessary to
do this will be from six to ten minutes.
We have seen the flow of milk started
in separator in less than two minutes
after the belt has been started on the
intermediate. The, practice of such
quick starting should be discouraged,
as aside from the undue strain given
to the separator spindle and bearings
it is an unnecessary strain on the belts
leading to the machine. With a slow
er starting of the moving parts in the
bearings, the oil is given better
chance to lubricate the wearing sur
face, a smaller amount will be re-
quired to do the work, and the useful
ness OF the belts greatly prolonged. At
ter the proper speed has been obtained
it should remain constant at this point;
as any material fuctuation will inf1u-
ence~ the skimming and the consisten-
=cy of the cream.
: The speed of separator bowl should
never be much greater than that recon-
7mended by the manufacturers. While
there is large factor of safety al
lowed above the speed stamped on the
machine, we are verging near the dan
ger point when we go much above it..
The amount of friction is increased as
the square of the speed. For instance
II we double the speed of shaft, we
increase the friction on the oils four
times. The strain on the separator
bowls can be well understood from the
following supposed case. We will take
a separator with bowl twelve inches
in diameter with a required speed of
o,oOO revolutions per minute, which
will give us centrifugal force of 6, 13c
II we increase the speed of the same
bowl to 1000 revolutions per minute
we will have a centrifugal force OF
S,34S., In other words while we have
increased the speed one-sixth we have
increased the centrifugal force one
third. Looking at this question from
tue efficiency of the separators with
the same bowl, we find that il by rea-
son Of small pulleys or slack belts, we
lose speed from 5000 to 5000 revolu-
tons per minute, we lose the centri-
fugal force from $3.50 to 4,257, or by
decreasing the speed one-sixth we de-
crease the Dreaming force one-third.
From this we see the necessity of run
ming separators at their proper speed.

Trick on "Old" Jones.

Jimmy and Tommy Bright lived in
a little New England village, where
the boys hang May baskets every May
and the affair is conducted with all
the secrecy which makes the sending
of valentines such good fun
For weeks before May day mothers
complain of the ships and scraps of
cardboard and fancy paper which lit
ter the floor after the boys have spent
an evening making their May baskets,
and, when the day draws near, every
carefully boarded penny is spent for
little gifts with which to fill it, and
every little maid is on tiptoe of ex-
~pectation, hoping that she will not
be forgotten when they are distrib-
uted. %.. ~, .zg ::

Where Is Morrell Island?

The United States steamer lroquOls
is about to start in search OF lost
island IN the middle Of the Pacific
ocean, This island, called Morrell, is
supposed to be situated in N. lat. 70
deg. IS min. and E. Ion. l74 deg. 80
min. 1t was discovered in 1925 by a
man named Morrell, according to
report made by him when he returned
home. He represented it to be so low
that it was almost level with the wa
ter, and that it was about four miles
in circumference. But later nav1gators
have declared their inability to find it.
Map makers placed it on their charts,
and it is still kept on official maps is
sued for the guidance of sailors. Ihe
danger that ships might be wrecked
on it's reefs if there were nothing on
the charts to indicate its presence IN
that locality has prevented its. re-
moval from the map. 1t is represent
ed to be nearly on the line between
Honolulu and Yokohama. But Capt.
Cooksey of the transport Grant, who
recently arrived at San Francisco, re-
ports that on February he sailed dl-
rectly over the place where the island
is supposed to be, and that he saw no
sign of land within a radius of
twenty-five miles. It requires care.
full survey to determine whether
small island like that really exists or
not Defects in chronometers and
errors in calculations may, account
for mistakes in locating such a small
tract of land in the. middle of a vast
ocean, and in the days of Capt. Nor
rell this liability to err was much
greater than it is at present. -
Recent trade developments in the
Pacific ocean have caused the hydro
graphic officers Of the navy department
to inquire with more care and deeper
interest into the existence Of small
islands of this kind, which may be an j
obstacle in the path of navigation.
Many are kept on official charts as an
extra precaution, but they are remov-.
ed as soon as their mythical character
is shown. 1t is for the purpose of de-
termining in a definite way the truth
in regard to Morrell island that the.
Iroquois will be sent on its cruise. It
will make an accurate survey of all
that part Of the Pacific and upon the
report it brings back will depend
whether Morrell island retains it's
place on the official charts or not.
