1.-THE geologists,' said Sir Robert
Ball, Complained that they could not

1t seems that biologists wanted q
modest S0o.00O,oo0 years, and the dis.
crepancy Of 100000 years was dis
concerning, for it looked as If science
was co%ntradicting herself. The gcolo-
gists knew they must be about right,
and the mathematicians knew that fig

''The Hon. Mr.. Strut, son Of Lord
Rayleigh," said Sir Robert. "has shown
that in the rocks in the crust of the
earth there is a considerable quantity
Of radium which is forever pouring out
heat at a great rate.
''Thio being the case, the date at
which the earth first became cool
enough for life must have been far
more remote than 100000 years
ago. 1t must have been sufficiently
remote to give the biologists all the

Treatment For caked udder.

Caked udder is a frequent source of

1t is often overcome by repeated rub
bling with a smooth round stone or by
bathing every two hours in water as
hot as the hand will bear until relieved,
together With hard %kneading With the

Soy Beans as Hog Feed.

The Wisconsin experiment station
has been testing soy beans as a hog
feed and announces these conclusions:
Soy bean meal makes an excellent
supplement to cornmeal for growing
and fattening pigs.
Soy bear meal mixed with cornlneal
in the proportion of one-half produces
greater gains than wheat middllngs
and cornnmal fed in the same proper
ton.
For frmness, the fine grain and tex
ture of flesh and even distribution of
fat and lem the ration of wheat mid
dlings and cornmeal is superior to that
of soy beans and cornmeal.

1t is urged i'll favor of subsoiling that
the land improves every year, although
it may have been subsoiled but once.
In viewing the effects it should be In
the light OF improvement and not re-
covery, as no injurious effects are no
ticed at aay' time. 1t is also claimed
that If a slarrow roller should follow
the subsoG pillow. so as to compact the
soil after the subsoil pillow has passed,
the capacity to hold water would be
greatly increased and the benefits of
subsoiling be more immediate.-Farm-

Keep the Milk Clean.

Keep tha dirt out of the milk. The
absence OF cleanliness furnishes us
with the missing link that lowers man
to the level of the beast. An ounce Of
prevention is worth a pound of cure
sixteen to one, Of course. 1t is easy
enough with reasonable care to keep
a great deal of the dirt that gets into
the milk ont Of it. but it is exceedingly
difficult after the milk has become pol
luted with dirt to get some of that dirt
out of it again, and it is impossible to
get all of The dirt in polluted milk out,
because a large portion of it is dis
solved before the milk reaches the
strainer.

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stifed laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page. shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

Colorado proved her claim in 1906
to be the veritable sugar bowl of
America, and now leads without rival
all other states in the production OF
sugar.
Not any more wonderful than would
be the sudden upspringing Of an infant
to the stature of giant is the won
derful growth of the beet sugar indus
try throughout the state. In eight
years, no more, Colorado has jumped
from the bottom to the top Of the lad
der in sugar production. and gives
promise with annual increases of fac
tories, output and expansions in every
line of holding Indefinitely that en-
viable position.
The only contestants to this claims
of supremacy are California and Michi-
gan. Michigan, with her seventeen fac
tories and daily capacity of 1880 tons,
which in 1905 exceeded Colorado by
over 1000 tons, now is forced to give
way to our IL, 400 tons daily capacity;
and California, with her $3.50 tons ca
pacity, will be out of the running until
new plants are constructed. And then,
too, Colorado's mills are running every
day of the sugar campaign, and every
capacity is tested to the utmost to han
die the immense crops of sugar beets.
In other states many of the factories
shut down part of the time and their
operations are at best spasmodic.
In single year Colorado's output OF
sugar has been swelled in value $5,OOO,,
900, and the invested capital. outside
of real estate, has grown $3,O45,O0O,
making for the latter the grand total
of S16,295, 900. Farmers in 1906 were
paid $3,O00,O00 more than in 1905, fac
tory labor earned 100000 more than
in the proceeding year, and field LABOR
alone earned $2,233, 900 during the SUI
gar campaign. About 26,67O more
acres were planted to sugar beets than
in 1905, and the beet tonnage exceeded
the preceding year by 100000 tons.
The average yield per acre when raised
from eleven tons in 1905 to 1872 tons
in 1906, which are extremely conserva-
tive figures. Reports are made OF
Yields up to twenty-five and even as
high. in exceptional cases, as thirty
tons to che acre.
During 1907 and in time for the cam
paign there will be constructed and fin
ished another factory at Las Animas
by the American Beet Sugar Company
which will cost close to 100000. and
at other points deals are on for new
factories. To every district where
there is a beet sugar factory settlers
have been drawn, and beet fields now
mark the place where barren prairie
| land formerly was.
Colorado has now fifteen sugar fac
tories, which, although two less thar
in Michigan, have an aggregate capac
ity daily for slicing beets which ex
ceeds any other of the sugar best grow
ing states.
