sOmbardmonts to Prevent Hallstorms.

Bombardments to Prevent Hailstorins.
Congresses were held in Europe In
1899, 1900 and 1901 to discuss the re.
suits obtained by shooting cannon
toward storm clouds to prevent hail
on vineyards and other cultivated
lands beneath them. Statistics were
presented in great quantities and sub.
ventions were obtained from the gov.
ernments of Austria and Italy to be
expended in aid of this form OF pro.
lection. In 1899 the congress had no
doubt of the success of such expert
ments; in 1900 the result was adj.
mitted to he doubtful and in 1901 to be
very doubtful As men of science all
over the world were sceptical from
the very first the Austrian minister Of
agriculture has lately convened q com.
mittee of experts to study the ques.
ton and to advise him as to further
expenditures A strong majority of
this committee has pronounced the
experiment very doubtful and a ma.
jority has declared the reported sue
cesses to be illusory, That the ques.
ton may now be tried out to the end
the committee as whole recommends
the continuation Of the experiments
for several years yet.

the inability to take up the slack OF

a spool plvoted in an enlargement OF
the pole, with a grooved shaft de

Of the spool shaft. The grooved shaft
is mounted below the spool, with a
slot in one side Of the pole, through
which finger enters the groove to

stand against the use of saccharin.

college at Fargo has issued circular
declaring the sale of goods containing

food law. Saccharin is coal tar pro-

manufacturing of canned corn and in
the making of cheap candies. 1t is
sometimes used in the cheaper grades Of

UNDER the Mckinley law of 1880 we
used to buy the best white sugar at the
rate of from sixteen to twenty pounds
for dollar. That was ::down east
where there was open competition and
under a policy of free trade in the neces-
saries of life. In these later years of
piping prosperity we have been COM
PEELED to pay almost exactly one-half
more for all the sugar we consume.
And yet we are told that the trusts and
republican policies have cheapened the
cost of things wonderfully. Possibly to
the much-favored monopolists, but not
to the wage earners and consumers.

RELIABLE authorities state that the
amount of human labor now required to
produce bushel of wheat from begin
ming to end is on an average only ten
minutes, and the cost of such labor is
three and one third cents. These figures
indicate the result of wheat raising on
the western farms with improved machi-
merry and explains why 1T is difficult for
eastern farmers to compete with those
of the west in wheat raising. This looks
all right on paper but its different when
you raise it.
