''have misled their readers by setting be-
fore them the supposed motion of the sun
as II 1t were certainly in a straight line
and not in some orbit around a center, and
also as II both its direction and velocity
were determined by methods of observa-
ton as secure as those by which the dis
tances of the sun and Of the nearest stars
have been measured"
Mr.. Wallace's Conclusions.
His first article, he adds, has led him
into a much deeper study of the whole
subject, and the conclusions he has
reached are to be embodied in a forth
coming work.
1.-THE careful study of the whole subject
during the preparation of this work. he
says, has greatly strengthened the posi-
ton l took In my first article. In the
portion devoted to the biology and phys
les OF the earth and solar system espe-
cially I have found that such delicate
adjustments and such numerous combina-
tons Of physical and chemical conditions
are required for the development and
maintenance of life as to render 1t in the
highest degree improbable that they should
all be again found combined in any planet;
while within the solar system. this i'm
probability approaches very near indeed to
a certainty.

'In the astronomical portion of the vol
ume also have shown that large body
direct bearing upon the question Of there
being other inhabited planets revolving
around other suns. On this question, Of
course. there can be no direct evidence:
but the facts that adduce will. think.
satisfy thosezwho come to the subject with
out prepossession on one side or the other
that the combination OF probabilities
against such an occurrence is SO great as
to lead to the provisional conclusion that
our earth Is the only inhabited place in the
whole stellar universe"

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-07-23

Ebert Hubbard says, "The teacher
Is one who makes two ideas grow
where there was only one before" If
his definition Is correct the grange
must come near being a teacher Of
men. The benefit we derive from a
grange meeting is not so much the
number of abstract facts we pick up
from the discussions as 1t is in the i'm
pulse 1t gives us to think for ourselves
Anything which will crack our shell
Of Indifference and mediocrity and set
us thinking for ourselves is worth
while. 1t is not necessary that we ac-
cept as gospel all the statements we
hear in the grange meeting. If 1t
makes us think we will be able to sift
the wheat from the chaff, and it will
prevent us getting into rut and will
all the time lead us toward ultimate
truth.-G. A. II.

The County Deputy.

From an article in the Rural New
Yorker by ]. w. Darrow we make the
following extract:
The growth of the Order of Patrons
of Husbandry depends very largely on
the efficiency of the work performed
by the county deputies. This is one of
the most important positions in the
Order, and the best men in each coun-
ty, the best organizers, the most infiu-
entail and energetic, the ablest in men.
tai equipment, should be chosen as dep
uties. Much depends on the grange
getting the right start, and without
faithful, intelligent and hard working
deputy thus to start 1t the chances are
that it will have puny, weakly
growth. No grange should be organ
ized and then left alone ito work out
its own salvation" The wise deputy
will make frequent visits upon it for
instruction and to help in various
ways. Once started right, its progress
will be easier and surer.

Ohio. Cooperative Department.

The Ohio state grange cooperative
department is a live institution. Prizes
were offered by that grange for the
four subordinate oranges whose pur-
chases were greatest during the year.
What they. did is an index Of what
the trade of the oranges of Ohio is
worth or would be worth did every
grange make so good use of the OPP
portunity offered through this depart
ment as these four oranges have made
the past year The combined purchases
of these four oranges amounted to
$15,34917, the average of which would
be $3,S37.29. There are more than 400
oranges in Ohio. Suppose 400 Of them
had each averaged $4,000 worth of
trade orders for our financial agent to
contract for last year-$1 100000 worth
Of business. This would make the Ohio
state grange trade worth contracting
to supply, in the opinion Of the Ohio
Farmer.

TREATMENT OF SCOURS.
NJ Taking Timely Precautions Con-
siderable Loss Among thc'Pigs
Can lie Avoided.

When little pigs get the scours, give
\ heaped teaspoonful of copperas to
the sow in her swill and feed a little
lighter, says Texas Stock journal.
After the first day, If it is not cured,
give a second dose the following morn
ing. ] have never seen this fail where
given when pigs begin to scour, but
let the scours run on from three days
to week and they will likely be be-
yond control. As the pigs get older
provide a place where they can get all
the shelled corn or ear corn they want,
clean out all they leave every morning
and give to older hogs. Give piggy
fresh corn. Sprinkle the floor where
little pigs eat with air-slacked lime oc-
casionally. AS the pigs get little
older and want swill mix the swill of
clean shorts, little oil meal, with
sweet milk and water, and add n tea
spoonful of limewater for each pig,
which should be increased to table,
spoonful as the pigs get older. Feed
this when they get their corn. Be
sure their troughs are kept clean. II
they are accessible to the old SOW they
will not leave enough to sour. Con-
tinue limewater until the pigs are five
or six months old. Feed nothing sour.
II milk should be the least bit sour or
tainted even, throw il away If you have
no fattening hogs to feed IL to. The
pigs will easily get along without milk
for one feed, while the dose of sour
milk might set the pig back for n
month or two. As to the limewater. 1t
is easily made by putting piece of un-
Stacked lime In an earthen jar or
wooden pail. Put a chunk about the
size OF a quart cup in two-gallon jar
and fill II with water. When lime is
all Stacked and water gets clear, dip
off water and throw first away. refill,
and when this is clear dip off the scum,
when limewater will be ready. Don't
use any tin or iron vessel for limewa-
ter You can keep filling and using out
of this month before you need TO add
any lime. Don't rile It or stir; only
use the clear water.

CARRIED OUT HIS PLANS.
Last Request of n Dying Millionaire
Obeyed by His Mourning
Children.

A millionaire had died. There had
been great apparent grief among those
who had been most substantially re-
membered. And some real-for-sure re-
gret among those who had expected to,
and hadn't got a dollar, relates the
Baltimore American.
The funeral WAS over. The million
aires sons had gathered for confer
ence. Among the pet plans Of the old
mans declining days was a magnificent
palace, on whose style of ccnstruc-
tion he had disagreed with every other
member of the family.
You will remember" said the eldest
son, choking back his emotion wonder
fully well, that 1t was the last request
that we carry out every plan he had
made regarding the new house"
Yes" they groaned in chorus.
well, l have arranged that it be
done"
Thereupon he piled all the plans of
his fathers architect into a large
wastebasket and bore them triumph
antly out to the rubbish bin in the
back alley.
II may say truthfully that it is
pleasure to carry out the plans, even
though we disagreed in their forming"
replied the young man as he returned
with the empty basket.

A MUCH-TRAVELED KING.
Edward VII. Has Visited Many For
eign Lands as Prince and
Ruler.

Alexander and Caesar, Hannibal
and Peter the Great must be accounted
mere stay-at-homes compared with
Edward VII. Before he was of age as
prince of Wales. besides visiting most
of the European courts, he had passed
across the Atlantic-no holiday affair
in 1S60--on his tour through Canada
and his visit to the United States. He
witnessed Niagara illuminated and he
saw Blondin carry man pick-a-back
across the falls. Side by side with
President Buchanan he stood at the
graveside of Washington-the man
who had wrested an empire from his
great-grandfather, George Ill, says
the London Outlook.
Later, under the guidance of Dean
Stanley, he saw the holy land. He has
assembled the great pyramid He has
steamed up the Nile and traversed the
Suez canal. He has threaded the Dar-
danelles with a sultan of Turkey and
accompanied the remains of car
from the Crimea to the Kremlin at
Moscow. The glories of Athens and
of its modern northern prototype are
alike familiar to him. From Colombo
to Connomara, from Nepaul to New
fosndland this spacious yet daily mar
rowing globe of ours Is to King Ed
ward an open book.

sockets fastened to each one, so that
the dumping platform and its at
tached roller can be easily moved.
In order to be effective the bay must
drop every time near the center of
the platform. On a wooden track
this can be effected by boring hole
in the track and putting an iron
pin through it. On an iron track
the same end can be secured by q
clamp screwed on.

Attention to Land PAYS,

The poor field is always the most
neglected, because it will not pro-
duce as much as one that is more
fertile, the farmer preferring to
place his manure on land from which
he can secure more direct and re-
munerative results, the consequence
being that one portion of the farm
becomes capable of producing all
kinds of crops, while the other por-
ton in time is abandoned as unprofit-
able. If such condition of affairs
compelled the farmer to concentrate
his efforts on small area he would
be profited by the change, but the
cultivation of less land is intended
to improve the whole instead of only
a portion. No piece of land on farm
should be allowed to deteriorate in
fertility, no matter what the system
of cultivation may be, for the con-
centration Of the labor and the fer
tilizers on one portion does not pre-
vent the ether portion from being
improved
