DISTANCE PAST UNDERSTANDING.
One Star Is Fifty-three Millions of Mil
lions of Miles Away.

There are very few stars whose dis.
lance is even approximately known to AS
tronomers. Moreover, the different esti-
mates OF the distances of these few vary
by large amounts. The nearest known
star is Alpha in the constellation Cen
taur, not visible from the northern lands
OF the earth, and one of the next nearest
Is the little star in the northern constel-
lation, Cygnus. called ''61 Cygni." The
latest determination Of this star makes
its distance fifty-three millions of mil
lions OF miles. This is about eighteen
millions of millions of miles less than the
distance derived from Prof. Halls meas

STOCK IN THE ORCHARD.
A Questionable Practice-Even Hogs Are Apt to Do More Harm
 Than Good.

A correspondent of the Farmers Review says thatone of the greatest causes of damage to orchards is the practice of farmers turning their stock into the orchards. He says that he has known farms where this did more damage than all other causes combined. We believe the conditions are only occasional in which it is safe to turn stock into orchards. The condition where this might be done would be where the land is so sandy that it will not pack under the feet of the animals and the trees are headed so high that the animals could not browse the limbs. But this condition is met with but rarely and not often in the middle west. Our prairie soil has in it a great deal of clay mixed with humus and this when wet packs readily On our hillsides We often find powder clay, and also in our roll ing land that has been timbered with hardwood We find clay that is very retentiye of moisture and will pack down as hard as a rock There is no surer way of killing tree than by packing the ground around it We have known of hogs collecting around a single apple tree more than around others and killing that apple tree Hogs, however. are less objectionable in the orchards than other kinds of stock, for the reason that they root up the ground and this improves the soil rather than injures it. small num- Der of hogs may be given the run of a large orchard and not do any great amount Of damage unless they collect too much around one or two trees, which if in clay soil are about sure to be killed. We do not believe that. as a general proposition. it is safe to permit stock to run in our orchards in the middle west
