Oats is crop it pays to get in early.
and often one or two weeks time can
be saved by blowing in the fall. Where
corn is put in with lister it is not
necessary to harrow the ground in the
spring, as the lister will make the
soil fine around the seed, and as soon
az the corn is planted the cultivator
can be put to work and the ground
put in fine condition.
Save all the cabbages, whether
heads or not: hens dearly love to pick
at the leaves and heads. Cabbage is
of value for supplying the missing
green stuff, chiefly; but it tends to
keeping the poultry In good health.
Turnips are good as an appetizer, and
are well worth saving. They should
be chopped rather fine and fed raw,
or else cooked done. and mixed with
the mash, or with table scraps.

MADE FROM EARTH.
Frederic Campbell, Sc.D., Tells How
Satellites Can Be Formed by
Shooting Into the Air.

All Of the eight planets which con
stitute the suns family are not equally
supplied with satellites or moons. AS
far as We know, Mercury and Venus
have none; Mars has two; Uranus.
four; Jupiter, seven; Saturn, ten; the
earth and Neptune, one each A CON
sideration of the evening splendor of
a world that has more moons than one
might lead us to attempt to provide
ourselves with another moon All
bodies thrown into the air fall back:
but we are increasing the power of
our explosives, and may some day
reach the point where we can shoot a
sphere into space in such a way and
carry such speed that it will, like our
present moon, sustain itself in space
by constantly revolving around the
earth If we should shoot a projectile
horizontally at $4,000 feet a second it
would fly off into space and never re
turn. But if we should shoot it at 26,-
300 feet a second it would then become
permanent satellite and would re-
volve about the earth, returning TO it's
starting point in one hour and 20 min
utes. This would make night inter
esting in contributing greater supplies
of moonlight; but equally in providing
luminary Fastening across the sky
more swiftly than anything except a
| meteor. And, if we could do this with
one body, we could do it with as many
more as. we chose to fling out into
| space. Thus we might come to possess
more satellites than even Saturn. Two
things, however, forbid the hope that
we can ever accomplish these things
first, there is no ground for belief that
we ever shall possess sufficient ex-
plosive power; and second, even if we
had, the earth's atmosphere, through
which the new satellite must at least

SOME FACTS ON RADlUM.
Demonstration Made of Only Speci
mems of Precious Element in City
of Washington.

An interesting demonstration was
made recently in Washington by DR..
a. X. p. Harvey, who exhibited the
only specimens of radium that are
owned in that city. They weigh only
IL millograms and are worth about
$1,000. The most powerful of the
three is bromide of radium, which has
a radio-activity OF 100000. 1t is pow
erful enough to cure cancer or to
take photograph through II inches
of granite.
DR.. Harvey after exhibiting the
specimens spoke on their properties.
He said that radium had proved in
valuable in the treatment of cancer
and such skin diseases as lupus. He
sketched the history of radium in the
few years that it has been known,
saying that the credit of the original
discovery belonged to the French sci
enlist, Baccaral. He had identified
and described the element, but it was
Nine Curie and her husband who
first succeeded in separating it in
practical quantities from German
pitchblende.

them in place of my usual breakfast Of

time, and my skin became clear and l
completely regained my health and

Varnish for the Violin.

The famous Italian violin makers
used, it is said, the following sort of
varnish on their instruments: Rec
tilted alcohol, one-half gallon; gum
sandarac, six ounces; gum mastic,
three ounces; turpentine varnish, one
half pint. These ingredients are put
into a can by the stove and frequently
shaken, until the whole is well dis
solved, when it is strained and kept
for use. If upon application it is seen
to be too thick, thin it with an addi-
ton Of more turpentine varnish. A
simpler preparation is made by mix
ing one pound of gum shellac in one
quart of alcohol, The gum is dis
solved by placing it in an earthenware
vessel or a bottle with the alcohol and
keeping in warm place with fire.

AN EXTENSlBLE GAS BRACKET

convenient this extensible bracket
would be in such cases. When the
light is desired only as a general il

pushed upward close to the ceiling,
so that the rays of light will extend
over the entire room. But when it is
desirable to bring the light close to a
table, for instance, for reading or
sewing, the light can be instantly
pulled down to the exact position

Solder for Iron and Brass

The following method of soldering
iron and brass will be found success
ful if the metals are not to be subject
ed to extreme heat after they are
soldered together. First make the iron
clean and bright; then tin it by means
of soldering bolt with a little tin
solder and a small portion of clean
rosin as a fiuX. This proceeding will
require some. degree of patience and
time before it will be properly accom-
plished. The iron should be kept as
warm as possible during the process
of timing. When this is done clean
the piece of brass as bright and free
from any dirt as possible; then tin it
over with the solder, using rosin as
a fluX. Now, if convenient, place the
two pieces of metal to be united in a
wise; place small portion of solder
between win a little rosin. Use the
blowpipe. As the solder gets grad
ually hotter between the two pieces
OF metal the wise should be drawn
tighter, so as to insure a close joint.
