Benefits from Demonstration Tests

0SuSIll8 IIOIn OChVoot0bhOn lOSSos
Demonstration tests on twenty-five
state and county farms are progressing
under the supervision Of the agronomy
department Of the College of Agricul
ture of the University Of Wisconsin.
The trial experiments being conducted
this season are similar to those followed
last year, including seeding and care oi
alfalfa, corn breeding for improved
yields, tests of farmers corn, tests OF
planting for distance and number oil
kernels per hill, demonstrations Of the
advantages Of better quality Of seeds
use Of manure on various crops, etc.
Farmers are aided toward better corr
production by the distribution through
out the county Of pure bred seeds pro
duced on the county farm. As soon ai
the practicability OF improved methods
in amply demonstrated on the trial farms
farmers of the vicinity are urged tC
adopt them and profit by their use.-

The DlVInlnq Rod.

In speaking of the divining rod
Professor Fuller of National State
Agricultural Department of Geology,
says: mo appliance, either mechan-
ical or electrical, has yet been de-
vised that will detect water in places
where plain common sense will not
show it's presence just as well. The
uselessness of the divining rod is in
dicated by the fact that it may be
worked at will by the operator, but he
fails to detect strong water currents
in tunnels and other free courses that
afford no surface indications of water,
and that his locations in regions
where water flows in well-defined
channels are no more successful than
mere guesses. In fa :, its operators
are successful only in .egions where
ground water occurs in a definite
sheet in porous material. In such
regions few failures to find water can
occur, for wells can get water almost
anywhere"

Weighing the Earth.

ton Of the power known as gravita-
ton. We know how to measure this
power and everybody is familiar with
its manifestations.
Everybody, on the earth or off, at
tracts every other body. The amount
of the attraction depends only on the
mass of the two bodies that attract
each other and the distance between
them
Cavendish eliminated the earth as
distributing factor by making his two
bodies attract each other in hori-
Zontal direction. The earth's attrac-
ton is, of course, vertical. He took
long, thin stick, very light and six
feet in length, and suspended it hori-
zontally by a silver wire fastened to
its middle To each end of the rod he
attached little balls or knots of lead.
The bodies that were to attract
these two knobs were two big balls
of lead. He arranged his apparatus
so that at a given signal he could
bring the large balls close up to
knobs at the ends of the stick, one
on one side of the knob, one on
the other side of the knob at the other
end
He found that when he did this
each knob drew toward the big lead
ball near it, swinging the wooden
rod round on its wire support. With
delicate instruments he measured how
much the rod and the wire twisted
out of place. Thus he could tell what
was the force of attraction-the force
of gravitation- pulling the knobs to-
ward the lead balls. He knew how
much the earth would attract the lit
tie knobs-that is, he knew their
weight; he knew how much material
there was in the large lead balls he
used, the ratio of the quantity of ma
terial in the earth to the quantity in
the halls of lead followed from the
simple laws established by Isaac New
ton.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, 1 always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that Of a lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
f1icted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfgure-
ment looked terrible. l told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her
1 have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and 1 used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
I began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. 1 cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago l had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. I have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above

good condition.
The sunshine should come into every
stable through large windows.
Irregularity in time of feeding and
quantity will cause indigestion.
Every window should have shutters
to close tightly at night to keep the
cold out
An ignorant, ill-tempered, loud
voiced man should never be tolerated
in any stable.
Young animals require a certain
amount of warmth but this must not
be at the expense of fresh air.
Do not neglect to give each horse
a chance to drink the last thing at
night, even if the weather is cool.
Unless a man is especially adapted
by nature to handle horses, he should
raise only draft breeds and sell them
unhandled.
A horse that is thirsty all night will
lose in condition, as compared with
one watered frequently, and the last
thing at night.
A little shelled corn mixed in with
the ground feed you give your horses
will help to keep them from swallow
ing their feed too fast.
Don't leave the ice and mud freeze
on the horses ankles when you come
home from town, unless you want
them to have rheumatism.
A juicy wether hung up in a cold,
dry place will provide choice dinners
for the family until it is used up. Don't
forget to have mashed turnips and but

The mare is the most successful
dual-purpose animal on the farm, per-
forming almost a seasons work and
raising practically as good a colt as
though she spent the entire year In
idleness.
When horses are idle, feed them less
of corn and more Of fodder and other
bulky and less nutritious feeds. Give
the horses daily exercise In an open

weather is fit

HOW TO WEIGH THE EARTH
Simple Method Adopted by CeIe-
brated English SaVant for Esti-
mating Globes Weight.

Washington.-We know the size OF
this planet, so we know how many gal
Ions of water could go into the space
it occupies. Well, all those gallons
would weigh just about 100000, 0O0,-
0OO,OOO,OO0 tons. One billion billions
of tons! Now the earth isn't made of
water only, but of rocks and metals
and sand and a thousand other things.
How many times heavier would it be
when all these things are allowed for?
To use the scientific word-what is
the density of the earth?
The best way of making such a
measurement was invented in 1895
by celebrated English savant, Henry
Cavendish.
Cavendish's method was an indirect
one. The force that draws a body to
the earth-its weight manifesto

The Wise Bishop.

Tennessee, DIR. Thomas F. Gailor, a

complained about charity balls
Il doubt if it be quite reverent,

But Bishop Gailor, with a saving
burst of common sense, laughed and
replied:
Why, my dear fellow, I'm sure, If
it would do anybody any good. I'd
dance the whole length of Memphis in
full canonicals."

Laughter, laughter again, and still
more laughter, and Miss Mabel

pany laugh themselves. individually
and collectively. right into the hearts
of the bluest of the audience, for who
could long remain blue when the de-
lightful Blue Mouse scampers across
the stage? Though the rain may come
down in torrents the audience refuses
to wonder how it's going to get home,
but just sits back and laughs.
The play abounds in humorous situa-
tions arising from an endeavor to find
out who's whose wife, husband. father
in-law. etc. n these situations be-
come hopelessly involved before the end
of the evening. all because young Roll
lett yearns for a promotion and old
Llewellyn is known to advance his men
in proportion to the youth and beauty
of their wives.
This being the case Mr.. Rollett hires
the Blue Mouse. Paulette Divine, to
pose as his wife, and fascinate the
president of the road into making him
division superintendent. OF course, the
real Mrs. Rollett can't understand the
references to the other Mrs. Rollett.

his ingenuity to make matters plausi-

ability to meet all situations with per-
