No Holiday.

People have different ideas as to
what constitutes a holiday-or a vaca-
ton. Mrs Pettis had her own firmly
fixed opinions on the subject
81 don't count Thanksgiving or
Christmas or Washington's birthday or
any Of those holidays" she said frank
t. to an old friend one day. "What
count a holiday is when Ezra and Jim
and Bob and Liphlet go off up to the
wood lot with their dinner and know
they won't be back till night.
I'm not one to deny that men folks
have their good points. but how WON
an can call it a holiday when they're in
the house calling for food by looks
when they aren't by words is beyond
me!'-Youth's Companion.

THE PLANET JUPITER.
There Are Practically No Seasons In
This Distant World

This INSTANT world.
Taking the earth's mean distance
from the sun at 92.796 $50 miles, the
mean distance of Jupiter from the sun
will be 49,, 800, $40 miles. The eccen-
tricity of its elliptical orbit being
.O4S25, its distance from the sun at
perihelion is 459,507.760 miles and
at aphelion SOC, 100,1SO miles. Between
its greatest and least distances, there
fore, there is a difference of 46. 592,42O
miles, or about one-half the earth's
mean distance from the sun The in
clinationf of Jupiter's orbit to the plane
of the ecliptic being only / degree IS
minutes Al seconds, or less than that
of any Of the other large planets with
the exception of Uranus, the planet
never departs much from the ecliptic,
and hence it was called by the ancients
the "ecliptic planet" It's period Of
revolution round the sun is II years
BIAS days.
The inclination Of it's axis of rota ton
being nearly at right angles to the
plane of it's orbit, there are practically
no seasons in this distant world, and
the only variation in the heat and light
at any point on it's surface would be
that due to the comparatively small
variation in it's distance from the sun
referred to above. It's mean distance
| from the sun being 5.202S times the
earth's mean distance from the sun, it
| follows that the heat and light re-
| ceived by Jupiter are q times (5.2
| squared less than the earth receives.
The amount OF heat received from the
sun by this planet is very small. and
| were it constituted like the earth its
surface should be perpetually covered
by frost and snow Far from this be
ing the case, the telescope shows its
atmosphere to be in state of constant
/ and wonderful change.
These extraordinary changes cannot
possibly be due to the solar heat and
they have suggested the idea that the
planet may perhaps be in redhot
1 state, miniature sun-in fact, glow
ing with inherent heat The great bril-
liancy of it's surface, the "albedo,' as
it is called, and its small density-less
than that of the sun-are facts in favor
Of this hypothesis. AS the attraction
of Jupiter's enormous mass would rem
der the materials near it's center o.
much greater density than those neal
its surface. the latter must be consider
ably lighter than water and may pos
sibly be in the gaseous state.

The Miners Inch.

In California the miners inch is the
flow of about S.796 gallons of water
per minute. Fifty miners inches are
equivalent to one cubic foot per sec
ond. The most common measurement
Is under mean pressure of -four
inches, through an aperture two inches
high and two inches above the bottom
of the box, the plank being one and q
quarter inches thick and the height OF
water above the aperture three inches
giving mean pressure of four inches
Each square inch Of the aperture rep
resents one miners inch, or about l.:

A PULLING FEAT.
The Wonderful Corn Growing Magic
of the Zuni indiana.

The Wonderful Corn Growing Magic
of the Zuni Indians.
The medicine men among the Zuni
Iniians perform feat at the annual
s'corn festival which surpasses the
famous mango growing trick of the
Hindoo. Many scientists have been
present TO witness this strange cere-
mony, but have never been able to
fathom the mystery of it.
In front of the southern opening of
the medicine lodge a large square of
clean yellow sand, carefully smoothed
and packed, is spread. With a ceremo
NAL arrow figures representing the
Great Spirit, the earth, sun, sky and
rain are drawn. There are also the
symbols of the corn and a bountiful
harvest. The indentations made by the
arrow are then filled in with pigments,
blue for the sky and clouds, black for
tSe earth and chrome yellow for the
harvest The middle of the square is
left vacant. This picture in sand paint
ing is a most pleasing specimen Of bar
barrie art.
The hour for the ceremony arrives,
and at the right moment the medicine
man comes forth from his lodge and
takes a seat in the opening of the
lodge, facing the sand square. The
warriors and chiefs arrange them
selves around the square according to
rank. The ceremonial pipe is then filled
and lighted, and the medicine man
blows one puff in each direction of the
compass and two to the heavens. He
then makes an address, going over the
Vast history of the tribe and the kind
1ass of the Great Spirit and his care.
He concludes with a prayer for the
continuance of this favor
The great moment has arrived With
impressive solemnity the medicine man
thrusts the sacred arrow into the sand,
withdraws it and places Il grain of corn
into the hole thus made Carefully
smoothing sand over it, he resumes
his seat, while the assembled chiefs
smoke their pipes in stolid silence. If
the Great Spirit condescends to answer
the prayer of the medicine man-and
he generally does-the corn will sprOut
and send up shoot. After an interval
Of fifteen or twenty minutes the sand
Raems disturbed at the spot where the
grain of corn was planted, and soon
the slender green blades Of the sprout-
ing corn are seen above the surface

must bear in mind, has been done il
thirty-six hours. On the morning of the
second day the corn growing is com

Can Not Deceive Dealers.

1T has been den osntTated,that flrts-
class apples can be raised in this val
ley. Car loads of Willamette valley
apples have been packed and shipped
as the Simon.pure Hood River article,
and no kick registered, except from
our good Hood River brethren, who
indulge the pardonable conceit that
good apples don grow outside of
Hood River valley"
The above was taken from an article
written by II. G. Atwell for the Forest
Grove Times, who probably refers to
an attempt by firm of apple buyers
to market seven cars of Willamette
valley apples as Hood River fruit
Three cars of the consignment we're
shipped to New York and on their ar
rival the firm received letter asking
how it came that such apples had been
shipped from Hood River, and saying
that they would have a great deal of
difficulty in disposing of them. The
other four cars we're put in cold stor-
age in Portland and worked off on the
market there at inferior prices.
A good many attempts have been
made to deceive apple buyers into be-
lieving that they we're getting Hood
River fruit, but few of them have
been successful. Dealers are getting
so that they can tell the genuine Hood
River fruit on sight. Hood River
growers are willing to concede hat
good apples do grow outside of Hood
River, but they stoutly maintain that
the best that can be found anywhere
are grown here.

enough Selections in bird life applies
as well as it does in plant life. The

of the same flock thereby proving that

particular harm provided the strong

In about 1850, Darwin. the great

that this was the natural and ideal
climate for the Homing pigeon. The
longer they became acclimated here,
the more prolific the strain becomes if
care is taken in always selecting
breeders from the strongest, biggest
and most prolific parents. By pursu-
ing this course of careful selection for
the past several years, we now have
all our pigeons at such high stan
dard of breeding, producing squads
weighing 10 lbs. per dozen average
and more, when only three weeks old
and each pair of breeders will average
ten pair of squads per year. Those
who have had our squads gladly pay
us from 90 cents to 81 per dozen above
market price at Seattle.
As with the pigeons, so it is with
chickens that cur future success or
failure depends upon the way we
select our breeders. By this method
of breeding up, we are now rewarded
with a strain of squads bree1ers which
pay us handsomely in 3 weeks old

American Apples Abroad.

Extracts from speech of G. z. Eiffe,
made at banquet of Payette Fruit
Packing Co., Dec. 16, 1906.
"When at Bremen the second larg.
est harbor in Germany, said Mr.. Eiffe,
81 attended the auction sales Of five
thousand boxes of Amer ican apples.
On the morning of the sale had in
spected them, and found one barrel in
good condition, the rest contained
many rotten apples, of such nature
that it would not pay to keep them to
feed hogs on during the winter. When
| estimated that about one fifth Of the
contents Of those barrels we're spoiled,
men in charge of the warehouse con-
sidered this estimate very low. Con-
slider what this means in loss to the
growers in money paid for transpor-
tation. At one weeks sale the loss
was 1000 barrels, together with freight,
picking and all attendant charges,
apart from the fact that had all the
apples been good, they would have
brought much higher price per bar
rel. The sale was held the last day of
October, and there was no reason why
the apples should have been in such
condition, unless they we're picked up
off the ground. Gem State Rural.
