ments, and number of unimpeac enable witnesses attest every detail of tho op- erations.
 Professor Montgomery has devoted all his energies to solving the problem of sustaining and controlling the flight, leaving in abeyance that of lifting the machine to the proper height, for which a hot air balloon is used. The Santa Clara, as he has named the aeroplane, resembles huge bird or butterfly. The frame is of spruce timber, very tough and supple, and the wings of fortified canvas. There are eight of these wings, and each is shaped like an isosceles tri- angle cut across the point In each wing there Is an upward curve con structed scientifically with the same concavity that is to be found in the wing of bird. The operator sits on a saddle, and the wings are worked part ly by the hands and partly by the feet by means of stirrups and steel shafts. Steel wires preserve the shape of the wings, and the guiding is done from the back.
 Soaring at rate of six miles an hour. the aeroplane can be stopped and turn ed within . distance of forty feet with turn of the hand by the operator. A contrary wind appears to make little difference in the speed, as the machine progresses rapidly against a strong breeze by series of tacks. An i'm portant point fully established is that the machine was able at all times to return to the point of departure and light without any difficulty or force of impact.
 As the Santa Clara exists at present it can soar in the air as long as the strength of the riders holds 0at, and. though the nervous strain is intense. the physical exertion Required is not great Professor Montgomery contem- plates supplying form of motor which will serve the double purpose of raising it in the air and regulating the wings in their flight. The time does not seem far distant when he will have develop ed the machine to the point of carrying passengers.
 Dr. Montgomery is awaiting the ar rival of his patents and after short rest will personally supervise the con- structlon of several aeroplanes of diff ferent sizes to accommodate the weights of different operators.

in the monotony which daily toll init igated but relieved not. planned that her daughters should not be immured in the country as farmers wives. He who has not studied agricultural con- ditions at first hand will find it diff cult to realize the strain and struggle and depression of two decades and less ago. It was not alone financial depression. The farmer revolted be- caues of that and of other conditions. It was at this point of the lowest ebb in the faith and fortune of the farrer that agricultural science came? The Twentieth century farm home. in many and important ways, is differ- ent place from the farm home of the Nineteenth century. The home and the farm alike have been improved, the home in a large measure because of the improvement of the farm. The rural telephone, the rural mail deliv- cry, better rural roadways-these have reduced or removed the isolation of the farm. In one western county, somewhat above the average, but otherwise typical of many counties, one-half of the farm houses have tel ephones, 40 per cent. of the farmers are subscribers to city daily news par from the metropolis 200 miles .ht, 30 per cent. of the farm houses are reached by postal deliveries daily, there are more than 60 miles of cleo. tric road and 150 miles of turnpike. Conditions have not become ideal, but the improvement is decided Science has heightened mans arms and broad ened his horizon.
 The discomforts of the farm home of . generation ago are not duplicated in the farm home of to-day. Agricul- tural machinery has brought about many changes. More is accomplished with less labor. The farmer has larger leisure. or. more often, he gets more accomplished. In architectural con- yenience his house has changed for the better The log cabin has given way to the residence built of brick or frame. in which light, heat. sewage, ventilation. are as carefully planned as the more expensive houses on the city lots. In the same western county heretofore referred to one sees in an afternoons ride scores of such cOun- try homes. neat, comfortable. slightly. The farmer has a balance at the bank. His home shows it and school and church give evidence. The social side of rural life has changed. killing monotony no longer rules and mur- ders. Science has come to the aid of society ins sthe homes without the towns. k
 In the last analysis the bread and butter question decides. Other quss- tions enter into the calculation, but this is chief. Here again science has come to the aid of the farmer We know more about agriculture than we did a score of years ago. We know more of the constituent elements of the soil, of the character and effect of possible additions to the soil, of tae adaptability of the soil to certain crops, of the constituent elements of the farm products. of the breeding and care of live stock, of transportation, of all that enters into agriculture. The largest cause of this increase of knowl- edge is the Agricultural college and the Agricultural Experiment station. Their fields of investigation are broad
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-04-04

and their rightful province of instruc- tiOn large.
 Live stock enters largely into the inventory of farm property Fifteen per cent. of the wealth of the farmer is in domestic animals of all grades. Science early undertook to make the growing of live stock more profitable. Disease attacked the animals StuGy of diseases brought information as to their cure. The next step was to find prevention or cure. The Texas fever is an example. The great cattle range is in the southwestern section of the United States. There long summers and mild winters make profitable the growing of cattle on open prairie. The Texas fever destroyed thousands of cattle A scientist in laboratory and experimental pea undertook an inves- tigation of the destructive disease. After years of patient study he dis covered the cause of the infection which resulted in the fever and soon afterward discovered a mode of in- oculation that rendered immune all cattle thus treated. The outcome of the scientists work has been the prac- tical elimination of Texas fever from the southwest. Foreign animals are inoculated in the laboratory and made. immune where formerly 80 per cent. died. It is liberal estimate to say that the expense of the investigation which had this result did not exceed $25.O00, and it is a conservative esti- mate to say that as many millions of dollars have been added to the na- tion's wealth thereby. The feeding of cattle to produce the best market price has been the subject of scientific study. It has been found that certain foods at certain ages in the most profitable mixed and balanced rations should take the place in the feed lot of the uncertain feeds of former years. The transportation problem affects the market price of cattle. New methods of reaching the markets. by improved cars, which are humane as we'll as profitable, have taken the place of the old and barbarous ones. The railroads have better accommodation for ship pers, more cars and better prices for the shipment. Science has become Q farm hand in the cattle pen.
 In agronomy, which means the con- sideration of the soils, science has become interested. The farm hand formerly went out with spade or hoe or blow, stirred the soil, planted tho seed and then some time later culti- vated the growing grain. He knew little or nothing regarding the elements of the soil, the character of the seed, the chemical changes which brought about germination. He was only tho man with the hoe. Investigation pointed out that certain soils grew best certain crops. that where par ticular element was lacking in the soil it might be supplied and the use of fertilizers became general. Investiga- tion and experiment showed that se- lection of seed was necessary for the best results and that sowing and cul- tivation could be improved. Machinery saved labor and the investigations and experiments from college and station gave greater outcome to the labor that was performed. Science became a farm hand in the fields.
 Science has justified its employment as farm hand. The production of
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-04-04

plants and animals in the United States amounts to $4.000.000.0O0 an- nually. Experiments in breeding plants. in breeding and feeding ani- mals. in dairying. in the general man. agement of farms, in better cultiva- ton of crops and in combating ;he enemies of plants and animals prove that 20 per cent. or $SO0.000 900. can be added to the country's annual farm product at a cost of one per cent, or slightly more. of such increase. This has been done in millions of acres ia the northwestern states. "It has been clearly proven to be business in which one dollar will produce one hun- dred dollars This is the conserva- tive statement of Dr. W. NJ. Hays, of the Minnesota Agricultural college. On the farm as in every other branch of industry science is justified by practi- cal results.
 As farm hand. though Uncle Sam has 1O.3s1.765 other farm hands upon his 5.f31.312 farms. the most valuable for to-day and to-morrow is Science.

HOW IT FEELS TO FLY
Aeronaut Tells of His Trip With
 Montgomery Aeroplane.
SCARS LIKE A BIRD IN THE AIR

Jshn H. Maloney Found No Dimculty
 In Guiding Machine Invented by
 seaentfst In Santa Clara, Cal, Dur
 inS H1lght of Eighteen Minutes.
 Operator sits on Saddle and Works the Wings With Hands and Feet.
 John H. Maloney, the aeronaut who has made the flights with the Mont gomery aeroplane, is enthusiastic over the success of the experiments, says a special dispatch from San Jose. Cal, to the Chicago Recon. Herald. He de- clares that these tests have demon strated that it is possible for. a man to fly and believes the problem of aerial navigation is solved. During his recent flight, which was the most important and successful so far, Maloney remain ed in the air for more than quarter of an hour and on one trial covered several miles with no other motive power than his own hands and feet
 Speaking of his trip, Maloney said:
 T never felt anything like it before in my life. You simply soar through the air as if you were on the back of bird. The sails are great wings twenty four feet long, and the tail sticks out about as far behind. .~-The whole thing only weighs thirty-eightu pounds, and you have to do good deal of the guid- ing by twisting and balancing the body.
 q went up with hot air balloon and got 5000 feet above ground before cut loose. For a few minutes simply poised in the air and then flew around in different directions, circling back and forth, up and down, as easily as an eagle could have done 1t. I was up in the air eighteen minutes and never had the least difficulty in guiding"
 Dr. John Montgomery, the inventor of the machine, is son of Zachary Montgomery, assistant attorney gener- al under President Cleveland. and cousin to Bishop Montgomery. He is a native son, a graduate of St. Ignatius college and doctor of sciences at San ta Clara. The experiments of actual operation were conducted within two weeks in the Santa Cruz mountains and as a precaution against possible failure were kept quiet until absolute success was obtained.

They stopped dull. heavy. aching pain through my loins and kidneys. I could not sit in one position for any length of time. l thought it would break. If made any sudden movement or did anything to cause a strain on my back it commenced to ache. l had . urinary difficulty some times very annoying.
