How . Tin Can VIII Heln.

Many different receptacles may be
used in which to grow plants so as
to have them Of good size before put
ting them cut in the field. Flower
pots, paper pots, tomato cans, split
wood boxes and paper bags are per-
haps the most important. OF these,
paper pots, tin cans and split wood
boxes are best, though for few
plants paper bags Of two-pound size,
made of heavy glazed paper, answer
well. Cut them to four inches in
height, fill with three inches Of soil
and plant seeds in them.
The cylinders made from old tin
cans or from tin secured from the
tinsmith, are excellent. If made from
old tomato or corn cans, the cans
should be placed in a fire and heated
just enough to cause The tops and
bottoms to drop off. The seam can
be melted apart, too, but it takes a
little too much heat, enough to seri-
ously injuro the quality Of the tin, so
it is best 20 open them by cutting
them from top to bottom. Then wrap
a bit of wire around them to hold
them in place, or bend the edges with
a stove-pipo joint SO they will catch
and hold in the form of cylinder,
no bottom and Of course no top. Set
these on a board in frame or
kitchen, or somewhere where it is
warm, fill with good soil and plant
seeds Of tomatoes, eggplant and pep
pers, cucumbers, melons, cantaloupes
and squashes for the carly crop.
When the plants are well grown and
the weather is right, transplant by
scooping cut hole deep enough to
receive the can, set the can in place,
unlock the joint or slip the wire OF
and there stands the plant in it's ball

measured. should not be given any
consideration, but to know the exact
amount of milk a COW gives it should
be weighed with an accurate scale;
foam adds nothing to the weight of
milk. When the milk from COW
is weighed morning and evening,
then her daily production can be esti-
mated, but it is better to know the
weight of milk produced for a num-
Der of consecutive milkings and to
take an average of these for deter
mining her daily production.
After determining the amount of
milk produced per day in pounds and
ounces, then one should know the
average butter fat contained therein.
This can be determined by taking a
sample from each milking, and form
about five consecutive milkings, put
ting these samples together and de-
termining tho per cent. OF butter fat
in this composite sample. This will
be an average per cent. of fat for the
time during which the samples were
taken. From the average daily pro-
duction of milk and the average per
cent. of fat the average amount Of fat
produced daily can be ascertained.
AS six pounds Of butter fat thus de-
termined will make about seven
pounds of butter, the value of the
milk for butter-making purposes can
be determined. AS butter fat is the
foundation Of cream, the value of the
milk put into cream can be estimated.
While this method does not give any
idea of the amount of milk and but
ter fat a COW will produce during her
milking period, it does show how
much she is producing in butter or
cream for the time being.
No dairyman should be without
this record of each one Of his COWS
at any time 1t will enable him to
know when a COW is not producing
an amount which iustifes her keen,
and she can then be replaced with
better cow Where records are kept
a5 has been suggested at the end Of
the milking period the amount OF
milk and the amount Of butter fat
from each COW can be estimated and
her value for that period pretty close
ly determined. WIN. D. Saunders,

pertinent Station, Blacksburg.

PEOPLE AT THE GAME.
Men Who Cringe or Yen or Swear, as
the Case MAY BE.

Some people suffer horribly at
football games, yet you cannot keep
them away. One of my classmates"
writes Jesse Lynch Williams, in Out
ing, could never endure the dread
fully glorious opening moment. He
always turned his face away, land
then kept beseeching, the rest of us
in a low moan to tell him what was
going on, which we never did.
Il know another man who always
goes alone and will not allow anyone
he knows to sit near him il he can
help it. He wears a cap and sweater
and pays no attention to anything
but football, yelling with delight
when a thing pleases him and swear
ing quietly to himself when there
seems need of it.
"Once upon a time he was the
best football player of his department
in the whole country, but that was so
many years ago that they no longer
call upon his services as a coach, so
he sits in the grand stand and has a
lonely debauch Of football emotion.
Most of us, however, need some
one to talk to, some one to say the
inane, obvious things to, such as I4a!
Third down. when every one knows
it, and Going to kickn when fifty or
sixty thousand other eyes can see the
punter drop back for that purpose.
Most especially do we need some
one to pound on the back when
things go our way, some one to ex-
change looks with when they go the
other way. There is one man in our
class, supposed by some to be with
out emotion, who is really dangerous
at football games, he strikes out so
hard and wildly.
There is another man not in our
class, who goes to every game, and
though we always hope to avoid him,
he turns up in our proximity with a
regularity which makes us nudge
each other and say, of course
He is of the noisy breed, stirs up
discussions, gives the umpire advice
before it is requested and let's it be
known to every one within four rows
just how much he bet on the game
and with whom, while we look the
other way and pretend that he has
merely assumed our college colors
for the occasion. There is one ad-
vantage of being near him, however;
he never hesitates to below Down

Nae study oil tIle Waters.

It has been said that water is by
far the most extensive and valuable
mineral resource OF any country"
Engineers as we'll as biologists are
now greatly interested in the threat
ened stoppage Of the photographic
work of the Geological Survey
through failure Of appropriation by
Congress. The appropriation for this
purpose has already been seriously
cut down. During 1905 about 500
steam-gaging stations were in opera
ton, the object being to determine
all the conditions that affect the flow
of rivers and small streams. In adj
dition to this, extensive studies Of I'M
derground water have been conduct
ed, revealing facts previously entirely
unknown, and of the highest value
and interest. The sources and causes
of water pollution, leading to disease,
have always been widely investigated.
The necessity Of the continuance OF
this work, without interruption, is
urged by those who are in position
to appreciate it's Importance. The
world is more and more putting its
daily life and activity upon a scien-
tifc basis, and it is felt that the
United States Congress should never
lose sight Of this fact

Sensational Reporting.

In various quarters there is an
awakening to the great harm that is
done by local reporters of sensational
newspapers, who give such journals
what they want-that is, color up
and distort beyond recognition hap
penings of their vicinage. Here is a
very real evil. 1t is present in Spring
field and other places Of Western
Massachusetts, Just as it is all over
the country. Yellow journalism in
this respect is as f,.lse to real life as
the old dime novel used TO be, and
an even more demoralizing factor
People complain of this kind of mis-
representation and continue to put up
with it because the remedy is hard to
find. The marketable value of al
legged news" is found by the penny
a-liners to depend upon it's yellowi3m.
People who read this kind Of stuff
from their own locality know that it
is necessary to place large discount
upon it, but when reading Of happen
ings in other sections they are too
much disposed to accept the storiss"
at face value. Every honest jogr-
nalist Of standing is familiar with
this evil, and has long deplored the
increasing measure of it.-Springdeld

Nhat the south Needs.

The treat need for the develop
meme oG the agricultural resources OF
the South, is not immigrants, as some
seem to think, but it is the inculca-
ton Of right ideas and correct prin-
ciples Of agriculture into the minds
and practices Of the people we al
ready have, and nothing viii enforce
them so much as the scarcity Of labor.
We certainly don't need labor to en-
able us to make more cotton, The
fear that we will make too much cot
ton has become as nightmare to the
cotton farmer already.
But we have not started to write
about immigration. We want to talk
about farming, and we mean farming
not merely cropping or robbing the
land; and if we can help some strug-
Cling farmer to get out of the ruts
and get on the smooth track, the

plished. Progressive Farmer.

Racial Elements in Wisconsin.

am speaking of Wisconsin, be-
cause it happens to be the State
where I have pursued my ethnologi-
cal studies, and because it epitomizes
the central West. No other Western
State has such a diversity OF racial
elements. Illinois alone, with its
queer colony of Portuguese Protest
ants at Jacksonville, has an element
which Wisconsin has not. None but
Wisconsin has Bulgarians and Elem
ings. 1t has an Indian population of
over 5000, It is the greatest Welsh,
Cornish, Norwegian and German
State. 1t has Icelanders with Mime
sofa, Bohemians with Iowa, and
French, Fins and Hollanders with
Michigan. The Oldest and only pure
ly Hungarian colony in America is on
it's soil, and the largest colony of
Swiss. 1t has a native white element
as old as the Knickerbockers, and
even French-descended families who
go back $50 years on Wisconsin soil.

How Grand Canon WAS Made.

The popular idea that earthquakes
and volcanic explosions played part
in forming the Grand Canon Of the
Colorado River, says Prof. A. R..
Crook, is without foundation 1t
was cut out entirely by the water Of
the river, and the most effective tool
employed was the quartz sand
brought down from the sources of
the river in the mountains. This
sand is harder than any of the con-
stituents of the rock strata in which
the canon has been carved. Hurled
by the swift water against the sides
and bed of the stream, it cuts the
rock as easily as file cuts soft iron.

idly. 1t was found that the water
in this condition becomes sllgatly
undercooled to the order Of a few
thousandths OF degree, and that the
ice which is formed is in very adj
hesive state. On the cessation OF cold
weather the temperature of the water
rises slightly above the freezing point
and the ice gradually melts. Anchor
ice rises from the bottom in mild
weather, and also in extreme cold
weather under the influence of a
bright sun, which has the power to
melt it off from the rocks to which
it is attached.
The formation of ice has been
shown to be accompanied by a small
temperature depression in the water,
but even in the most severe weather
the undercooling is less than a hun
dredth Of a degree centigrade. This
fact is already made use of in water
powers, where a little steam heat,
applied around the wheel gates or
directly in the wheel cases of the tur-
bines, warns the surface of the metal
sufficiently to prevent the adhesion
of the frazil ice crystals. Electric
heating is also being applied with
some success, and it is safe to say
that before long no bad effects from
the presence of ice in the water need
be feared.
The conditions under which anchor
ice forms appear to be about as fol-
lows: The bed of the stream has be-
come chilled to the freezing point,
and the clearness of the water above
favors a still further loss of heat, or,
in other words, increased radiation.
Since the fluid in contact with the
river bottom moves more slowly than
it does at the top, a better chance
is afforded for the formation of ice
there, and so severe is the cold that
freezing is unavoidable. Anchor ice,
says Professor Barnes, rarely grows
under a layer of surface ice unless
this is clear. It forms on dark rocks
more readily than on light ones,
which is in accord with what we know
in regard to the more copious radia-
ton Of heat from dark surfaces.
Anchor ice rarely forms under a
cloudy sky, either by day or night,
no matter how severe the weather,
but it forms very rapidly under a
clear sky at night. Anchor ice is
readily melted off under bright sun.
1t seems highly probable then that
radiation Of heat supplies the neces-
sary cooling to the bottom of a river
to form the first layers of ice, after
which the growth or building up of
the ice is aided by the entangling and
freezing Of frazil crystals always
present in the water This applies,
Of course, only to water flowing too
swiftly for surface ice to form.
The depth Of formation of anchor
ice appears to be from forty to- forty
five feet in the fresh waters of the
Canadian rivers Along the coast of
Newfoundland it has been observed
to form as deep as seventy feet in
the clearer salt water. The tempera-
ture of the water on the bottom need
not be exactly at the freezing point
for anchor ice to form, the cooling
Of the bottom by radiation being suf-
ficient to bring it to the freezing
point, Notwithstanding the slow con-
duction of heat from the earth.

Value Of a Cow.

In undertaking to place an esti-
mate on the value of COW the exact
amount Of milk and butter fat pro-
duced should be determined.
Most people when estimating the
value Of a COW will be largely in
fuenced by the statements made by
the owner Of the number of gallons
of milk she will produce. This in
formation is usually very misleading,
as most persons do not take into con
sideration the foam in milk, and
again, the party wishing to sell COW
will sometimes exaggerate as to her
production as well.

~ 9 9 e. 5::z i: 1 .ss: 51 ::::

Inasmuch as ice is lighter than
water, it naturally rises to the sur
face Of any lake or pond on which
it forms. So rarely is it seen any
where else that there is a general
belief that ice always forms on the
surface. There seems to be good
evidence, however that there are ex-
ceptions to this rule, as to many
others. Witnesses too reputable to
be doubted have testified to the fact
that occasionally natures law is
openly defed, and that ice does form
at the bottom of stream. When
the phenomenon is observed at all,
it is usually, if not invariably, asso-
ciated with running water. Very
often, when large masses of it have
formed, the buoyancy of the material
(familiarly known as "anchor ice'O
will lift from the bed of river the
rocks or other objects on which it has
accumulated.
An ancient edition of 'The Ency-
clopaedia Britannica" (1810) con-
tanned a positive statement that ice
forms at the top, the bottom and in
the middle of the water at times. A
much more modern authority, Pro-
fessor H. T. Barnes, of McGill Uni
versity, Montreal, declares that he
has repeatedly observed anchor ice
in Canada, where the severe climate
seems to be particularly favorable to
it's development. He says that, while
''anchor ice" is the American name,
the substance itself has been seen in
many of the countries Of Europe. AS
long ago as 1888 fishermen along the
Elbe River were bothered by the oc-
casional hosting of their lobster pots
from the river bottom, the pots being
coated with ice So, too, the stones
to which their signal buoys were at
tached became displaced by the same
agency. From Scotland, England and
France comes indisputable testimony
Of a similar character.
According to Professor Barnes,
who discusses the subject in the
latest issue of 1.-THE United States
Weather Review" two kinds of ice
besides surface ice are found in Can
ada where the current is swift. He
thus incidentally suggests reason
why, when the temperature is below
the freezing point, the ice forms else
where than on the surface. The mo-
ton of the water prevents the forma-
ton of ice at the top. Professor
Barnes says that one variety of ice
called by French Canadians 'frazil''
is made up of spongy spikes, and
is found floating in the middle of the
water. Sometimes the quantity is so
great that it will clog water wheels.
Anchor ice forms on the river beds,
he says, and has been known to reach
a thickness of five to six feet!
1t has never been observed in Can
ada to form under a layer of surface
ice, because usually such ice is COW
cred by an opaque layer of snow,
which acts as an effective check to
the radiation of heat from the bot
tom of a river, which appears to be
the real cause of its formation. Pro
fessor Barnes has measured the tenn
perature Of the water in winter both
under the surface ice in the st. Law
renee River, opposite Montreal, and
in the open water of the Lachine
Rapids, when ice was forming rap

phyconcluded from all he heard that

Mr.. Murphy thinks that Hughes
