THE OIL MARKET.
Darlington Ohio.

The new oil company recently
started here seems to mean bust
ness. They received their charter
last Friday, and are now ready 10
begin operations. They have al
ready located a we'll on the farm OF
John J. Rea, below town, and the
work of hauling the rig timber was
begun last Saturday. The rig used
to drill the Yaussy we'll on French
Hill will be used to drill the we'll,
which has been located at the
mouth of Rea's run, near
the river bank. The work
of putting down this we'll will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, as
the men behind the enterprise ale
full of push. The principal stock
holders In the company are DR.. h.
M. Smith, E w. Brague, J ID.
Collins, John J. Rea, J W. Sanford,
and Albert Dietrich.
The tools were recovered In the
Hollins run well, west of Cameron
on;Tuesday, the 8 inch casing has
been put In and they are drilling
again. They are down about 700
feet Independent.

FRANCES GREAT CHEMIST.
What Has Been Accomplished for His
science by Berthelot in
Fifty Years.

The great chemist, M. Berthelot,
has just completed his so years of
service as a scientific teacher, an oc-
casion which was celebrated at the
Sorbonne in Paris. No. other chemist
perhaps has SO helped to lay the
foundation of chemistry as has M.
Berthelot, and that the congratula-
tions he received came from all civ
ilized nations is no matter for sur
prise, says the London Lancet. His
career has been q remarkable one. He
became a professor at the early age
of "a years, and a brilliant investiga-
tor within q few years of this APP
pointIent, gaining enormous insight
into the laws which lay at the root
of chemical architecture.
Perhaps his most epoch-making dis
covery was his demonstration of the
true nature of glycerin as an alco-
holic body capable of interacting with
three molecules of such acids as
acetic and palmitic, although his con-
tributions to thermal chemistry were
models of ingenuity, and
original conception. Later he at
tackled the question of synthesis and
until the publication of his "Chimic
Organique fondee sur la ~Synthese"
no systematic research had been at
tempted in the direction of building
up compounds of carbon comparable
with natural organic compounds by
the union of elements of which they
are composed. We must remember,
however, Wohler's s%ynthesis of urea
in 1928 and Kolbe's synthesis of acetic
acid in 1915.
But the methods subsequently en-
ployed by NJ. Berthelot were mere
simple and direct. He started, for
example, with the elements them
selves. He took carbon and hydro
gen which produced acetylene; add
ing more hydrogen he got thylene.
and from this he obtained alcohol
and a series of organic salts. Again
he set himself the task of proving
that compounds identical in every re-
spect with the products of animal
and vegetable life may be formed
from dead mineral matter.
Thus in a series of experiments he
employed the carbon obtained in the
form of carbon dipXide from barium
carbonate. 1t was then made to pass
successfully through the forms of
carbonic oxide, formic acid, barium
formate, ethylene, ethylene bromide,
ethylene again and finally into ethyl
sulphuric acid and it's crystallized
barium salt, from which the ultimate
object of these experimentation
was generated. 1t follows that wa
ter and carbon dioxide were the only
compounds from which the elements
of this alcohol were derived. Little
wonder, then, that scientific men of
all the civilized nations assembled at
the Sorbonne to do honor to this
great exponent of natures methods
and mysteries.

COVER FOR MILKING PAIL.

the conditions are simply disgusting,
while one can rarely find a stable
where a thoroughly painstaking effort
is made to keep every particle of for
eign matter and every foul odor out of
the milk. Even under the very best
conditions as regards cleanliness it is
utterly impossible to keep all impure
ties out of the milk if the latter is
drawn from the cow into an open pail,
for hairs and some dust particles will
be loosened from the COW by the action
of the hands in milking. However,
with a pail like that shown in the cut
and two thicknesses of cotton cloth,
or, better still, a layer Of surgeons
absorbent cotton, laid between two
sheets of cheesecloth and caught to-
gether here and there with thread and
needle, almost absolute cleanliness
can be secured. A large sheet of such
a strainer can be made at once, and
circles cut from it for each milking.
The cotton mentioned is absolutely
pure, and is of a nature to check the
passage of any impurities. By the use
of such a device the milk and cream
will not only be practically pure, if all
other precautions are taken to keep it
so, but it will keep much longer than
milk and cream secured under the or
binary conditions-a very decided ad-
vantage, if one ships his cream away
or has a milk or cream route, for there
is, perhaps, no more common com.
plant from customers Cd 4 milk route
than that the milk or cream does not
keep from m day to the next.-N. Y,

Very Successful Quotation.

In the Grafton schools it is custom,
airy to have regular Quotation days.
on which each pupil is required to give
a quotation and the name
of the author. The day before the
latest occasion of this sort one of the
boys complained to another that he
had no quotation for the morrow.
"Tll tell you a good one" said the
latter; and the quotationless one was
happy.
When it came to the latter's turn to
quote, he arose and said, with great
confidence:

FOUND AMERICANS BUYING
LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN,
WESTERN CANADA.
A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon
and Is Well Pleased.

ana Is well fIenSeu.
Mr.. S. X. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
| went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east one hundred miles by wag-
on. I found the country in that vicin-
ity a rich, black loan, varying from -
inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing 5 feet in height. I have been
a farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self a fair judge of the yield of grain
and / saw wheat that would yield Sc
bushels per acre, and, oats that would
yield 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. AS for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have I ever seer their equal for all
kinds except corn and tomatoes; the
nights being too cool for these to
ripenwell. AS a stock country it has
no equal. East of Edmonton, on the
head waters of the Vermillion River, ]
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet
high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to
the acre. From Edmonton / passed
through some fine locations, namely
W~etaskiwin, Lacombe and other
points.
From Macleod I went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert, PAT miles
north of the main line. For the first
so miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more of a
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some
very fine farming country, so good
that T found a party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves-one party buying ~ sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once.
I have travelled over 90 different
States and Territories in our Union
and never in my life time have 7 ever
seen such magnificent crops and es-
pecially as fine a stock country.

DOmbardiNE the Clouds.

In this country experiments have
been made in inducing grain upon the
arid belts by exploding powder or dy-
Mantle. In Australia the minister of
agriculture is trying an experiment
of exactly an opposite nature. He has
sanctioned an appropriation of $4,000
forms to establish 33 stations for try
ing the effect of gun-fire in breaking
up hail clouds. The army furnishes the
guns. The conclusion and smoke are
expected to affect the atmospheric state

Bologna's Tipsy Towers.

Bologna's two square leaning tow.
ers, the Garisenda and the Asinelli
which are more startling than the
tower of Pisa, are safe. A rumor was
started that they showed signs of
weakening, but a commission of en-
gineers pronounces them as solid as
ever. The Asinelli tower is 315 feet
high and was built in 1909. The Carl
senda was built a year later, and was
originally taller, but is now only 1853
feet high. Its inclination, however, is
greater than that of the other tower,

to one-hour, according to the condi-
ton of the cream and room tempera-
ture-easy filling, emptying, examin-
ing and cleaning. The material of
which the churn is made should be
of some hard, close-grained wood,
made solid or firm and fitted with a
suitable arrangement for warping.
Each cnurn has it's own working ca
pacity, but is generally limited TO

SCIENCE IN MILKING.
Good Cows Are Frequently Ruined
by Men Who Do Not Know How
to Handle Them.

Milking is an operation which re.
4uires skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality of
milk given. Dairymen know that
there are as great differences between
mixers as between cows and that
cows will do much better with good
mixers than with others. Indeed,
good cows are often almost ruined
by poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid handling
the COW more than is necessary, and
he should make it a rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from a sick to a we'll
COW without first cleansing his hands.
The habit of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy in the extreme and
should never be practiced. Some peo-
pie think it is necessary, but this is a
mistake. The hands should be kept
dry. If they are not, it is impossible
to prevent drops of milk from con-
stantly falling from them into the
pail.
The pail should be held close to the
udder, SO as to expose the milk to
the air as little as possible. The
further the streams fall and the more
they spray, the more dirt and bac-
terra they collect. Contamination
from the foremilk must be avoided by
discarding the first few streams
drawn, or less than a gill in all. This
entails little loss, as the first milk
drawn is always poor in butter fat,
and if it happens to be badly con
taminated, as is frequently the case,
much injury and trouble may be
saved.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

1t is quite as important fo

II large employer OF IaDOr TO De
a close student OF human nature as it is for him to watch carefully the
trend of the markets in the lines in which he is dealing. Success or
failure often depends upon this. The man who secures the wrong
helpers, no matter what his ability may be in other ways, will have
but a poor chance to attain success.
And how best can the employer study his employees? By
minging with them, by asking their assistance and advice. In this
way he will often discover rare genius where it il least expected, and
MAKE OF A CLERK A STEPPING STONE TO HIS OWN
SUCCESS
But too often do we find the employer who though able to read
men, and pick the bright minds from the dull ones, vet is not willing
to compensate the men who lend him valuable assistance in his strug-
gle for success. He considers that without him they would have been
nothing, forgetting that without them he, too, might have been moth
