We are likely to regard the moon az

hibits phases such as the quarter, the
half and the full. AS q matter Of fact,
all planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases. and most of
them can be easily seen with q small
power telescope. Thus Mars and We

One of the greatest discoveries Of SCI
ence is due to observation Of the
eclipses Of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was In the
part Of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part. whereas by all rules Of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. It was
deduced from this that light was not

sixteen minutes to traverse the diam

NO HOSTILE AMENDMENTS.
Senate Passes River and Aarbor Bill
With Burton Proviso.

Senate Passes River and Haroor Bill
With Burton Proviso.
washington, April 21.-The river and
harbor bill as it passed the senate ts
in condition satisfactory to Senator
Nelson who had charge of the measure
in the absence of Senator Frye, chair
man of the committee. Mr.. Nelson and
his colleagues of the committee sue
cessfully resisted all hostile amend
ments and the opposition which Sen
ator Burton, Of Ohio, made to the gen.
eral features of the measure made no
impression upon the senate. The item
for the high dam and power at the
Twin Cities went in with the proviso
included as requested by Senator Bur-
ton.
Mr.. Nelson believes the proviso will
work no hardship and that it may well
remain in the bill. This provision fol-
lows the item as 1t was placed in the
bill by the house at the request Of Rep
resentatives Nye and Stevens, which
merely seeks to commit the govern
ment to the high dam and power pro-
ject in accordance with the last report
of the engineers dated March 3, of this
year. That is accomplished as the bill
goes to President Taft. But the pro-
viso, as follows, will be open to con-
sideration in conference:
Provided, that in the making of
leases of water power a reasonable
compensation shall be secured to the
United States, and rates as fixed shall
be subject to revision by congress"
Messrs. Stevens and Nye are not
greatly disturbed by this proviso, but
they believe it is unnecessary, and bet
ter out of the bill than in it. They
have asked Chairman Alexander Of the
house committee to insist upon having
it eliminated, and thereby leave the
whole question Of compensation for
power open to negotiation. But it will
not be regarded as a serious matter If
the proviso remains in the bill.
The items inserted by Senator Nell
son for the Leech Lake and Winnie
oigoshish canal, $4,000, and for i'm
proving the Mississippi between Brain
erd and Grand Rapids at cost of $22,-
900, remain in the bill as it passed the
senate.

Turkish women do not wear wells

Lived Six Weeks Entombed.
Chicago, April 21.-Joseph Colek, one
of the miners who survived the mine
disaster at Cherry, ILL.,, a few months
ago has written an interesting letter
to the Svornost, Bohemian newspaper
published in Chicago. Following is a
translation:

but was SO decomposed that It could
not be identified. On the next day the
bodies Of thirty-one miners were taken
out Of this shaft. These thirty-one men
lived in the mine six weeks after the
catastrophe, as was learned from writ
ings found among them.
After these men discovered that the
mine was on fire, they escaped to the
mule stables. In the stables they found

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food?
The farmer of today buys much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however. use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

IRRIGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Area of Great karoo, in Cape Colony.
Subject of Thorough Investiga-
ton for Water.

All over the civilized world atten.
ton is being concentrated upon the
best methods of irrigation. The pro-
ductivity of the planet and its conse-
quent ability to support life are thus
gradually increased in a way that
would hardly have been deemed pos
sible generation ago. There are
great areas, hitherto regarded as little
better than deserts, which scientific
study has proved to possess nearly all
the elements of productivity except
water and in most cases the water
can be provided, One of these areas
which has only just been the subject
of thorough investigation is the Great
Karoo, in Cape Colony Although a
dry region, it possesses very rich
soil and dams are being built for the
storage of rain water, special meth
DDS of cultivation are used to dimin-
ish the loss of water by evaporation
and the influence of forests is being

HORTICULTURAL NOTES..

Wood ashes are too valuable to
waste. They are good for garden,
lawn or orchard.
Get busy with the saw and pruning
shears and clean out every dead and
cankered branch
There is no fruit w:lich bears more
abundantly and more regularly each
year than the grape.
Often young trees are spoiled by
being wind-broken. The ground must
be packed firmly around them.
Make the orchard a business ven
ture and keep an account of everything
pertaining to its interests.
Do not cultivate late in the season
or the sap will keep the wood from
hardening before winter.
Begin with the first year and train
the tree to the shape desired leav-
ing only such branches as will be re-
tanned later on.
The Ben Davis continues to be a
favorite, but only in the large cities
where thousands do not know what

GUARD THE WATER SUPPLY
Where Farmer In Semi-Arid Region
Has Limited Amount He Should
Make Most OF II.

A farmer i'm the semi-arid country
devise all sorts of ways of conserving
the quantity so as to make the most
of it. Few have private reservoirs OF
sufficient capacity and must adopt
some other method. Frequently the
early irrigating is done before 1t Is
needed. because 1t must be accom-
plished while the water is available.
requires because the farmer en-
deavors to conserve the water In the
soil. Winter irrigation is always sue
cessful and should be more generally
employed. An instance is cited when
water was left in the ditch during the
winter, and naturally enough the ice
clogged the ditch so that it overlooked.
The ditch was below the road and the
water flowed out onto the field, no one
paying any attention to 1t. How long
the water ran there it is not known,
but it froze as it spread over the land.
and great field of ice was formed for
fourth of a mile. Finally the ditch
choked at the head of its own accord
The next spring the flooded land was
seeded, and when the grain was head
| ing out the location of the ice field
was plainly visible for the grain was
six inches taller wherever the over
| flow touched. This was evidence that
there is fertility in water and also
that winter irrigation is good thing
If the farmer only had the water.

Apropos of love stories In general,
Jerome S. McWade. the weil-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at a recent
dinner:
AT the approach OF Valentine day
last year ] offered a prize of five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. l have one of the stories here,
and am going to read it to YOU
Mr.. McWade then read:
"A poor man fell in love with lady
whose mother WAS a rich toy dealer.
THE poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"A villain then offered him $50 If he
would become a drunkard.
THE poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
"'No, l will not become drunkard
even for great riches.
ION the way home he found bae
of gold So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

A Torreon letter says that the larg-
est individual irrigation enterprise in
Mexico is now being established upon
the plantation of Lazaro Villareal Ma
dero near Torreon. The canal system
now being built will cover about So
900 acres of land. The water supply
will be obtained from artesian wells,
a number of which are now being
bored The flow of these wells will be
conserved in great earthen reservoirs.
More than $2,000,000 gold will be ex-
