EXPLODING A THEORY.
The Practical Method Adopted BY 4
French Scientist.

Tho Practical Method Adopted BY I
French Scientist.
At the beginning OF the nineteenth
century the French Academy OF Sci
ences offered to give q prize to the
first person who would solve the fol-
lowing problem: Ii you take vase
full of water and put stone or any
similar body in II the water will dow
over. II. however. you put into it \
fish. the volume OF which Is equal to
that OF the stone. 1t will not dow over.
Explain this phenomenon.
Learned essays on the subject pour
I'd In from all quarters. but the prob
lem was not satisfactorily solved In
any Of them. and consequently the
prize was not awarded.
In the following year the same Ques-
ton was again propounded. and for
Ave years answers continued to pour
III to the academy. Then it suddenly
occurred to one OF the academicians
that. after all. the problem might be
incapable OF solution. and be deter
mined to make test for himself.
Filling a vase with water. he put
a stone into it and saw that the water
flowed over. Then he took out the
stone. filled the vase again with wa
ter and put into It fish. the volume
OF which was the same as that OF the
stone. and saw. to his surprise. that
the water again flowed over.
He told the academy of his discov-
cry. and the result was that the offer
of prize was at once withdra wn.

The courtroom was crowded. A wife

played prominent part In the plain

The husband was on the stand I'M

for all this and the additional fact
that it was certain that Mr.. Leeds had
one hundred and thirty-five out of the
one hundred and seventy-two votes in
the district, there was uneasiness for
a time lest there be conflict that
might upset the otherwise harmonious
aspect.
Elliott Withdraws.
The situation remained unchanged
until evening just prior to calling to
order the district meeting, when Mr..
Elliott announced that he reconsider

convention hall, the delegates from the
Sixth occupied the seats fronting the
stage on the left section. The first
seats of the center and right sections
were occupied respectively by the Sew
enth and Second districts. The re-
naming ten delegations were scattered
through the hall. Because Wayne
county's name starts with tail-end
letter the delegation from that district
modestly viewed the backs of the dele
cations from the other counties in the
district. At that the seats occupied
by the Wayne county men were choice
ones. Hundreds of Wayne county
people are attending the convention
and every one of them were cared for
by County Chairman Wiley. Despite
the big demand for admission tickets
to the convention hall, Col. Wiley ap.
peared to have an inexhaustible supply
of them.
Wayne Delegation Makes Hit.
The Wayne county delegation yester.
day and last evening, certainly scored
a big hit. This delegation was the
only one to have headquarters in the
Claypool, and the big room was pack
ed and damned all of the time. To
emphasize what good hosts they were
members of the delegation gave every
visitor at headquarters a Richmond
Rose. Fully thousand of these
beautiful flowers were distributed
John E. Peltz, the genial secretary OF
the delegation, was worked harder
than an Italian laborer. He was on
the job from early morning until late
yesterday afternoon, when he became
i'll from the closeness of the room and
had to be sent to bed. He was up and
about this morning, however, feeling
as good as ever.

Potaro Importations.

POTATO Importations.
Great Britain has become an item Of
interest to American potato growers
In spite Of the very heavy transporta-
ton charges and many expenses in
getting potatoes through the custom
house Great Britain is making money
shipping potatoes to the American mar
ket. The average yield of the Great
Britain growers is 2G1 bushels to the
acre. This means. as all averages
mean, that good growers get many
more per acre than this average and
poor growers considerably less. Soak
all seed potatoes coming from Maine
or other potato growing sections in
formalin Tor formaidehyde) solution,
one quart to fifty gallons OF, water.
Soak a full two hours. Dry carefully
away from either bags or barrels
which have formerly held potatoes, for
fear of contamination. Cut and plant
only the best specimens. Give thor
ough cultivation. Spray with bordeaux
and arsenate of lead combined from
the time the plants are from four to
five inches high at intervals not to ex-
coed two weeks. Sort carefully and
pack honestly. Brand every bag and
barrel. Great Britain has made her
record on careful cultivation and seed
selection In the field from the best
hills. This is proved to be the only
way. Don't think it over: get busy.
Up to March 81. 1909, the foreigners
shipped into the port Of New York
1.O22.361 sacks of potatoes. on which
was paid 100000 in duties. To this
must be added transportation charges.

SPRAYING for Apples.

Experiments at Tragg Orchard, To-
Gated at Rockford. Ia, have proven
that ii pays to spray. In an orchard
of 1900 trees two small plots were
sprayed. The average yield for the
orchard was less than one-fifth bushel
per tree, while in one of the plots I'M
der experiment the yield averaged two
bushels per tree. This is proof con-
elusive that if the whole orchard had
been sprayed, and it could have been
done at but little more expense, the
result would have been 5000 bushels
instead of 500. or even less.
The benefits of the treatment were
not confined to increasing the yield.
Not only was there more fruit and
finer fruit where the trees were
sprayed, but the fruit hung to the
trees better. The great superiority OF
the sprayed fruit over corresponding
grades of unsprayed fruits was appar-
ent to every one who examined the
crop. The treatments may be given
in this order: When the leaf buds
are opening. just before the blooming
just after blooming, about two weeks
after the third treatment, the last OF
July or first of August. In all this
work it is best to use liquid Bordeaux
mixed with paris green or some other
effective poison.-S. A. Beach in Agri'

Brief Farm Hints.

Celery is getting to be the best pay.
Ing crop the garden grows.
1t Is great mistake to feed pigs
sour milk when they are learning TO
eat
Milk the cows clean every time if
you would keep up uniform flow of
milk.
The man, the cow, the feed, are
three essentials to successful dairy
ing.
Choose for the breeding mare
solid color-dark bay. black or chest
nut.
The disposition of a horse has a
great deal to do with his value on a
farm.
A farmers wife will net find it hard
to get private customers in town for
genuine fresh eggs.
Do not keep cows for a side issue;
make 1t business, like any other
branch of farm work.
Examine seed potatoes to see they
have not sprouted at the bottom, al.
though the top may look all right.
Get garden. Make up your mind
to live well this summer Life is too
short to live on the husks of the farm.
The fact that a hog will eat almost
anything and turn it into meat does
not imply anything will do for the
hog.
Stick to the old stand-bys for the
main crop, and touch the novelties
lightly. Some of them are fine, how
ever.
Put in an ornamental or other tree
in the front yard They will double
the value of your property in a few
years.
A very important thing in poultry
raising is in caring for the eggs after
they are laid up to the time they are
marketed
A cow that gives rich milk and is
kept in good condition will produce
a butter that does not need coloring
matter at all
If after churning the butter is not
firm try leaving it in the buttermilk
few hours. This Ct en- makes
wonderful change.
An inexperienced man with a pair
OF sharp pruning shears will do more
harm in an orchard in one day than
all the insects combined could do in
year.
