THE SETTING SUN.

When Vulcan Sailed II Round the
Ocean So II Could Rise Again.
The ancients had some queer theories
whereby they sought to explain the
rising and setting of the sun. They
thought the earth to be fat and were
greatly puzzled to know how the same
sun which plunged into the ocean at
a fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
ly great distance In the east. num-
Der Of remarkable theories were ad-
vanced. and every one of them was
wrong.
Mythologists of old asserted that
after the sun had dipped In the west
ern ocean at sunset Qhe lberians and
other ancient nations actually imagined
that they could hear the kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged thereinl he was seized by Vul-
can and placed in golden goblet.
This strange craft, with it's astonishing
cargo, navigated the ocean by north
erly course so as to reach the east
again In time for sunrise the follow
ing morning.
Among the more sober physicists of
old. as related by Aristotle. 1t was be-
lieved that In some manner the sun
was conveyed by night across the
northern regions and that darkness
was due to mountains which screened
of the sunbeams during the voyage.

MONKEYS IN BATTLE.
They Fight Under Leaders and Roll
Stones on Enemies.

Aesop's ape, it will be remembered
wept on passing through a human
graveyard, overcome with sorrow fol
its dead ancestors, and that all mon
keys are willing enough to be more
like US than they are they show by
their mimicry.
An old authority tells that the easiest
way to capture apes is for the hunter
to pretend to shave himself. then to
wash his face, fill the basin with a sort
of birdlime and leave 1t for the apes
to blind themselves. If the Chinese
story is to be believed the initiative
craze is even more fatal in another
way. for if you shoot one monkey OF
a band with a poisoned arrow its neigh
Dor, jealous of so unusual decoration,
will snatch the arrow from it and stab
itself, only to have it torn away by a
third. until in succession the whole
troop has committed suicide.
In their wild life balloons as well as
many varieties of the monkey tribe
undoubtedly submit to the authority OF
recognized leaders. There is co-opera.
ton between them to the extent that
when fighting In company one will go
to the help of another which is hard

A GREAT ORATOR.

pressIve Than the Words.
The appeal that fine flow of oratory
will make to men and women was
amusingly exemplified one night at a
meeting in West Philadelphia, says a
Philadelphia paper A noted speaker
was appealing to a gathering to give
funds toward the work of cleaning the
slums, making life healthy and happy
for the poor and other utopian schemes
of men and women whose hearts throb
with longing to help their kind.
For half an hour he drew pictures
of the conditions; then with expressive
gestures his voice throbbing with
enthusiasm he poured out a flow Of
rhetoric.
Our duty, our flag, our country, -
dotted the speech with italics. The
| audience shouted and cheered, and the
women wept, while a storm Of ap-
plause swept the room when the
! speech was over.

man to another In the cloakroom later.

In reply 10 query as to the proba- ble cost of building suitable for shel- tering l ,000 hens, F. E, Elford of the Macdonald College. St Anne de Belle yue, Que. makes the following reply:
 Much depends on the style of build ing erected A long building suitable should be erected for, at the most s2.00 per hen capacity There are some buildings in Southern Ontario that cost a little over one dollar per hen. while there are many buildings costing from s5 to sI0 AS to whether continuous houses or the colony sys- tenn is the better depends on local con- ditions. Where there Is sufficient land to use the colony system l think 1t is much superior to the long house sys- tem, though 1t may cost little more to provide accommodation The col ony system has the advantage in spreading out the hens. It Is, there fore. easier to keep them healthy; the land is kept sweet and much feed that would otherwise go to waste on an ordinary farm Is utilized One can go into the poultry business with col ony houses with less initial cost, as each year sufficient number of houses can be put up to accommodate the in- creasing flock.
 The colony houses used here at Mac donald College might answer for or. 'inary purposes but cheaper house.

AIM OF FARMERS SOCIETIES
Plan to Place Practical Object Les son Before Masses. Illustrating
 Best Methods.
(By s. A. KNAPP

The aim of the Farmers Co-opera- tive Demonstration Work is to place a practical object lesson before the farm masses. Illustrating the best and most profitable methods of pro ducing the standard farm crops, and to secure such active participation in the demonstrations as 10 prove that the farmers can make much larger average annual crop and secure a greater return for their toll
 This work shows also that there is no necessity for the general dete- rioration of farms and the too com, mon poverty of the rural masses
 Briefly stated, the salient features of the rural lessons given by the farm demonstration work are as follows;
 1. Better drainage of the soil.
 2. A deeper and more thoroughly pulyerized seed bed deep fall break ing (plowingl with implements that will not brins the subsoil to the sur face.
 9. The use of seed of the best va. riety ntelligeHtly selected and care fully stored
 f In cultivated crops. giving the rows and the plants in the rows a space suited to the plant. the soil aud the climate.
 3. Intensive tttlage during tfc crow ing period of the crops.
 6 The importance #of q high content of humus in the soil, the use If le. gumes. barnYard manure. farm refuse and commercial fertilizers
 ' The value of crop rotation and winter covering on southern farms.
 & The accomplishing Of more work in day by each laborer by using more horsepower and better implements.
 9 The importance of increasing the farm stock to the extent If utilizing all the waste products and idle lands of the farm
 10. The production ef all food TO. quircd for the men and animals on the farm
 n. The keeping of an account with each farm product in order to know from which the gain or loss arises.
 The demonstration Nolf Is conduct ed by a special agent who rennrts ii. reotly to the ehicf of the bureau of plant industry at Washington. D e. Th2 work now covers portions of 12 states. employing 275 travelling agents. and has many demonstration farms
 The average farmer may continue for years to believe he has the best seed of the several crops he pro. duees unless he Is brought into direct public comparison ani competition with ether farmers, not la an exht- bition where prizes are to be awarded but in a mere exhibit of what the farmers expect to plant without any asserting.

(By W B. ELLETT, Virginia Agricul-
 tural Experiment Station)
 When plants or the remains of crops decay in the soil, certain acids are formed, especially humic acid, from the decay of humus. Unless less these acids are neutralized by a base" such as lime, they may ac- cumulate in sufficient quantity to be- come harmful to the growth Of certain kinds of plants. Most cultivated soils are slightly acid and this condition Is favorable for the growth of most crops. But plants excrete from their roots sufficient acids to secure this condition, usually. so the aim should be to keep the soil in neutral or slightly alkaline condition. This can be done by the use of lime. It Is only when a soil becomes very acid that crops do not thrive.
 Muck and peat soils, which are made almost wholly by the decay of plants, are nearly always acid. But strange as 1t may seem, some of the most acid soils of the United States are upland soils This is because the rocks from which these soils were made contained very little of the bases" and therefore the acids formed by the decay of plants grown upon these soils are not neutralized. Sandy soils, especially soils derived from granite. sandstone, slates and shades, are quite likely to be more or less acid. An application of lime to an acid soil gives immediate and marked results, because 1t makes the soil "sweet," and favorable for the growth of crops.
 Quick or burnt lime. if not bought already pulverized by machinery (which is desirable), must be slacked before application It should be wa ter-slacked, not air-slacked. Although alr-slacked lime may not be used, 1t must be remembered that airslaking means that part of the quicklime Is changed into the slower acting car bonate of lime, hence a larger quan- tity of 1t must be applied than of wa ter-slaked quicklime If 1t is old air slaked lime it Is nearly all carbonate. and no more valuable than ground limestone hence twice as much should be used as of fresh water-slaked lime
 One of the best ways of applying quicklime is to put 1t in few large
