Tradition and Farming.

The part that science can play IN
successful farming is up for discus
sion. We are even told that agricul-
lure is all. q matter Of science, whether
the boy learns It at college Or behind.
the plow. The ways Of nature have
to be mastered somehow, and it is
plain that science cannot change them.
Professor u n. Bailey of tho Cornell
Agricultural college says that mere
knowledge Of the LAWS underlying pro-
duction will not make a man a good
farmer. He must see the laws At
work. .
The boy on the farm sees the laws

tells him the lesson which he learned
from his father-that it's the right thing
TO feed the cows and sheep on the same

The minister who recently doubled
the attendance at his church by dis
play advertising in the newspapers
evidently believes, with Wesley, that
Satan shouldn't be given a monopoly
Of the best means for reaching the
heart of the busy world. But the
question has it's practical side. People
will consult the papers to find out
what is going on around them, and
the church that is willing to challenge
criticism by advertising may be sup
posed to offer something worth while.

A Do.b,e Barreled Torpei dc.

One of our naval commanders has
invented a torpedo which may do
more mischief to an enemy's battle
ship than one Of those call big gun"

new torpedo shoots twice, SO to speak
that is, it makes two holes instead
Of n in the target. Theoreticai-
" the old torpedo would rip a hole
in the side of a warship and let in wa
ter enough to sink her. AS q rule.
however, torpedoed ships have kept
afoat until the repair shop made them
as good as aver.
The shell Ola big gun will do more
damage to a warship than any torpe-
do, provided 1t explodes inside the
vessel, say in the engine room or mag
azine. But a shell may pass through
a vessel, leaving only two small holes
and a few wrecked things in its wake.

where it strikes and at the same time
project a shell carrying a fuse timed
to explode it at any desired distance
