HOW WATER ACTS.

ITS ~suEvcrt Powers.
Water Contracts as ii falls from the
normal boiling point, Do degrees, un-
til it reaches 80 degrees. Below that
degree it expands, and at 80 degrees,
the freezing point. it will expand
enough to burst pipes and vessels hold
ing it.
When the pressure of the air is be-
low normal. water boils at a lower tenn
perature than PIP degrees. This is no
ticed before a rain. when the barometer
shows by a falling mercury a decreas-
ed air pressure. This also explains
why water boils away more rapidly,
quickly or nj n lower temperature in
the mountains. where tie pressure of
the air is less than on the s~eacoast or
in the valleys. If sugar or salt is add
ed to water the temperature Of the
boiling point is raised a few degrees.
AS a rule, as water is heated it will
hold q greater amount Of a substance
In solution. A familiar exception is
the fact that ice water will dissolve
twice as much lime as boiling water.
At the other extreme boiling water
will dissolve seventeen times as much
saltpeter as will cold water. But wa
ter varies in its solvent powers regard
less of heat. One pound Of water will
hold two pounds Of sugar in solution,
but only two ounces of common salt.

Just as the old year is going out
the winter season is really setting in.
While SO far the weather has been
more or less titful, it has not been
cold. and only three times SO far has
the mercury gone below zero. and
then only 3 degrees. With the snow
storm OF Sunday and the falling of
the mercury there is an indication
that winter has really GOT a start.

The Lay of the Hen.

Investigation of the capacity of hens
to lay eggs results in the discovery
that the egg production of hens de-
creases considerably after the age of
four years Thus a hen lays at the
age Of one year about 20 eggs; at the
age of two years. about 100; at the
age Of three years, about 1856; at the
age of four years, about 115; at the
age of five years, about so, and at the
age of six years, about GO. These fig
ures go to show that hens should never
be kept in the poultry yard more than
four years. for after the lapse of this
time they do not yield a proper return
on the food they consume.

1t is very important at this
critical time to emphasize the
fact that the prospective high
price for cotton should not cause
you. Brother Farmer, to neglect
your corn and feed crops. Now
Is the time TO see that your
farms are made self-sustaining;
aud if any crop suffers let it be
the cotton crop. The prospects
are thatall food crops will sell a,
much higher values than at pres.
ent. II has been often demon.
stratcd that no farmer can pros.
per and buy his corn, meat, ETC.,
with cotton at any price. The
next season will prove to be
harder on those who neglect
this, than usual.
The very high price OF pea
seed and poor crop conditions
will doubtless cause this great
crop TO be more neglected than
usual. Don, fail to plant all
corn and oat lands in peas. Il,
has been demonstrated that one
bushel sound peas can be made
to plant ! acres if drilled aud
carefully dropped. With one
cultivation a dense growth can
be made. and the free nitrogen
captured from the air for next
crop will many times pay for the
money invested in seed. to say

Memorial day when the delegation

That afternoon Ericsson, the widower.

GREAT RAILROAD FORESTRY
THE PENNSYLVANIA ROAD WILL
PLANT $4,000 TREES.
Conditions Demand That an Adequate
Source for Ties be Secured.

In order that the Pennsylvania
railroad may have a source of supply
for crossties. the company will soon
plant $4,000 trees near Mt. Union,
Pa, which will be the largest rail-
road forestry reserve in the world
Some idea of the necessity of such
an extraordinary undertaking as this
may be gathered from the fact that
the Pennsylvania railroad system uti-
Lies 100000 new ties every year
and each of them costs 20 cents. In
recent years ties have been getting
scarcer and scarcer and the Pennsyi-
vania has found it advisable to es
tablish forestries, that in future years
the railroad may have plenty.

SLURRING PRESIDENT RoOSE-
WELT.

AS soon as the President has in
structed all the State delegations for
Taft or himself and elected Burton
speaker of the House instead of Can
non, he will have leisure to abolish
the Supreme Court and make new
Constitution-Indi Star
The above suggestion from the In
dianapolis Star, while meant to be a
slur on President Roosevelt, offers a
point worthy of the careful considera-
ton of the people of this country
Suppose we read the above paragraph
in this way: AS soon as the President
has again driven the forces of preda-
tory wealth to cover and enabled
Taft-a man who believes in and
practices the square deaf-to secure
the republican nomination for presi-
dent, and has broken the corporate
hold exercised over the House by Sc
curing the election of Burton as
speaker instead of Cannon, he will
that in leaving the office of chief
magistrate he is leaving behind him
two men who will work together in
the cause of the people. The Star,
however. by publishing such para
graph as the above. clearly shows that
it is not in favor of such men being
retained after Pre- sident Roosevelt
leaves. AS to that particular clause,
The will have leisure to abolish the
Supreme Court and make new Con-
stitution," maybe if the Star submit
ted this question to the people for
answer it would find that the idea
was rather popular, in view of some
of the past decisions of the supreme
court and the loopholes our present
constitution seems to give. to hard
pressed criminal corporations and
their corrupt managers.

A fello-e may be truly wise
And all that sort of thing
And play his hand to beat the band
For all that it will bring.
But when he goes to look around
For suckers for his net
He's pretty apt to meet chap
Who's even brighter yet.
While nattering himself he knows
The latest tricks there are.
To his surprise some other guys
Know newer ones By far.
He gets a live one on the string
And starts to make a play,
And this new gent don't do a thing
But take his wad away.
Oh, there are many clever tricks,
Some new. some cut OF date.
The man who thinks he knows the
kinks
Gets wise when it's too late.
He meets a lobster from the land
Where grass is rank and tall,
And when the play is under way
The sucker man plays ball.
The wise gazabo is all right
And strictly TO the good
Until some child. sad eyed and milo
Comes forward and saws wood.
Then when the crafty enc goes bump
He fnds il all too true
That there are others on the dump
Ard plenty CT them too.
