Answering the Question Of Which Moves
tho Faster in a Wheel

Among the many questions which Or
lginated in cycling and have now donned
automobile garb and proclaimed them
selves as something brand new is the
time e-honored hoary- headed alleged prob
lem as to whether the top of wheel
moves faster than the part which rests
on the ground. The problem never was
intended to be anything but catch,
and is peculiarly merltorious on &C
count of the semblance of science with
which it is clothed. The fact that the
part of the wheel which is in contact
with the earth has come to standstill
on what might be termed dead centre
point is SO apparent that any child can
see without going into any explanation.
and yet there are those who will argue
the question seriously. as if that feature
of the problem was not apparent to
every one.
The question is as to what is the
relative speed between the top and the
bottom of wheel. say, when the wheel
i. twenty eight inches in diameter and is
going over a frozen lake, to eliminate
all unevcnness of the road. The rim or
tire travels faster than the hub. having
to make a much longer revolution or
circuit in the same time it takes the hub
to revolvc. but the part of the tire that
is on the ground is necessarily travelling
at the same rate around its own axis
as that part which is furthest from the
ground. If the centre of the earth be
regarded as the axis that part of the
wheel which rests upon the ground. be-
ing nearer the central axis. would be
slower than the top part. which is fur
ther from the central axis. The COM
putation Of the difference would depend
upon the size of the wheel.
This is not responsive to the question,
and yet, despite the fact that it reads
as if intended to convey wrong I'M
preston. by happy fortuitousncss is
absolutely correct The question as to
whether the top or bottom Of wheel
goes the farther was originally intended
as a fake question pure and simple.
The top of wheel is always the top
and never move. around the axis. The
bottom of wheel is always below and
ceases to be the bottom the moment it
changes its position the millionth part
Of an inch
If the discussion was on chalk mark
on the rim of wheel there would be
room for discussion, but the top OF
wheel is always the top, and the top
hub and bottom of rolling wheel ad-
vance with a speed which is so nearly
equal that the wheel would have to
make a complete circuit of the earth to
make the top of the wheel 60 three times
the diameter of the wheel farther than
the bottom.-The Motor World.

lepArtment of agricultural pursuits.

department of agricultural pursuits. In
the first place the majority are afraid
of incurring little expense in procuring
the best breed of animals. but they g
on year after year breeding scrubs that
wise farmer would not have upon his
farm. Too close and saving to save a
few dimes in the first outlay they lose
dollars that might have been made had
they been willing to spend tritllng sum
at first
Unless something is known about the
animals breeding or ancestors 1t is very
easy to be deceived. a fine looking
male or female may breed the most un-
likely and scrawny looking calf which
may develop into one of the most beau
tiful and valuable Of animals. While
on the other hand, we'll proportoned
and fine looking calf may grow up to
be an object of great disappointment.
Nothing is more damaging to the hopes
OF beginner than to have expensive
young animals shrink on their hands,
and nothing is more unnecessary If he
gives them attention, proper care and
kind treatment. which no animal appre-
ciates more than cattle, as they are
naturally gentle. it is then only by ne
glcct they acquire habits harmful to
themselves. and perhaps annoyance to
their owners. Good common sense is
factor NOT to be ignored in breeding
and management Of cattle on the farm
TO know what to do and when to do It
to the best advantage requires the high
est order of common sense. Another
thing we must learn is the practical
value OF early maturity and superior
qualities that brings the top prices.
The importance Of giving proper shell
ter to our young cattle, yes, to all our
cattle, cannot be too strongly urged. 1t
does not pay to have cattle left out of
doors in the cold and winter winds, the
animal heat must be kept up so long as
life lasts, and it is cheaper by all means
to keep mp the animal heat by good
shelter than by food-Louis Campbell

SCOTTISH PAcANS.
Queer Rites Practiced in tbs Neighbor
hood OF Ross.

The Land O Cakes may be the home
of popular education; it certainly is the
home of many curious supersttions. A
startling proof of this has been given
by the parish ministry of Corridor, in
the northern county of Ross, who has
lust discovered that shocking pagan
rites" are being followed in the neigh
borhood of the town.
The story of these practices Is weird,
but interesting. 1t appears that many
years ago a woman committed suicide
by drowning herself in the Balgie River,
near Torridon. The inhabitants refused
to consent to the body being buried in
the Annant Church yard on the plea that
if the body was buried in view Of Loeb
Torridon the fish would forsake the
inferred in unconsecrated ground about
one hundred yards from the cemetery,
and there they now lie.
What this woman's grave has to do
with pagan rites has still to be told,
however. There is local belief that
cpileptics will be cured of their trouble
by drinking water from certain pool
out of the skull of suicide. Such a
skull has been kept hidden for many
wears under the surface Of the soil OF
thi. grave, but whether it is the skull
of the woman herself is not clear.
Those suffering from epilepsy 60 to the
rrave in the dead of night, unearth the
mouldering skull and drink out of it
water of the pool already mentioned.
This practice has been going on for a
long time, but has only now come under
the knowledge of the parisl, minister.
Some nine years ago the skull had a
curious adventure. A number of men
from the neighboring village of Apple
cross removed the skull from its resting
place and kept it for some time near the
rarish manse in order to have the benefit
of its mysterious curative qualities. The
people rho arc looked upon as the prop
or custodians of the relic had great diff
ficuItv in recovering it. but ultimately
did 50, and replaced it in its sepulchre
This is the story Of the skull to date,
but the sequel remains to be told, as it
| is not unlikely that there may be
struggle between the minister and his
parishioners for possession Of the grew

RAISING OR BUYING FEED.

Where the farmer grows the fodder
and grain for his animals he is justified
in feeling that it has cost less than it
would if he paid the cash for it in the
market if he has been successful in get
ting good crops. He has made a market
for his own labor, the labor of his team
and use of tools, and for the manure
that was a waste product of his stock.
All of that forms part of his profit,
and the crops may be said to have cost
him the seed, hired labor and fertilizer
bought But it may not be the cheap
est feed for him to use. He may be able
to sell it and purchase other food ma
terials that would give him enough bet
ter results to repay him for the labor
or drawing both ways. Bran and gluten
feed produce so much more milk than
corn meal that he may sclf the corn he
has raised, and buy the other feeds
which he does not raise. Other foods
are better for hens than the corn, or
even than oats. The man who tries to
be so independent as neither to buy or
sell, had better set up hand loom and
a cobbler's bench. to save spending
money for clothing. We could fattcn
hogs and cattle on turnips and onions
cheaper when we sold them and bought
our corn than we could to have fed the
roots, and We thought cheaper than II
we had grown the corn.-Ameriean Cnl-

TEMPERATURE FOR LETTUCE

The temperature that suits lettuce IS
forty to fifty degrees at night and ten to
thirty degrees higher by sunlight. The
young plants will endure extremes of
temperature very well. Now that the
weather is becoming warmer the young
plants may be put out in the open
ground. The carly lettuce are artifl-
cially grown during the winter, but with
early plants now ready good prices will
be obtained from the lettuce grown be-
fore the main crop comes in.

DESTROYING WEEDS IN LAWNS.

When weeds appear i'll lawns it is
sometimes difficult to eradicate : en-,
even when the lawn is frequently now
ed, as it may happen that dwarf weeds
will drop seed, which will grow, while
other weeds are propogated by sending
out roots in every direction, from
which young plants come. The best way
to destroy such weeds is to pour about
one teaspoonful of sulphuric acid on the
crown of each weed as no plant can
stand tie effects of the acid.

A GOOD INSECTICIDE.

The following is recommended by a
practical gardener as an insecticide: Take
the leaves and stems of the tomato plant
and boil them in water until the juice
is all extracted. When the liquid is
cold it is to be sprnklcd over the plants
attacked with insects, when it at once
destroys caterpillars, black and green
flies, glrats, lice and other enemies to
vegetation, and in no way impairs the
growth of the plants. A peculiar odor
remains and prevents insects from COM
ing again for long time.

USE OF INCUBATOR SPREADING

USE OF lNCUBAlOR SPREAOlNG.
The use of incubators is spreading.
They are now made of all sizes, begin
ners preferring the smaller sizes. AS
a 1oo-egg incubator will hatch as many
chicks as eight or ten hens, and as the
chicks can be kept in small space to-
gether under one brooder, there is no
more care required than in attending
to large number of broody hens. As
all the chicks can be hatchcd at once
they consequently reach the. market in
one lot and are uniform in size The
best time to learn with an incubator
is in the summer, when eggs are cheap,
ds the cost of running the brooder is
also then low. 1t is not difficult to oper-
ate an incubator, but there is something
to learn, hence the incubator and
brooder should be operated as a trial
before attempting to hatch for market
