harness should not be kept In the sta

wiped off with soft cloth or leather
and mud or sweat removed by wash

washed in clean water. thoroughly
dried and rubbed over with little

Heavy harness does not require the

A tremendous task. that of counting
the stars up to the nineteenth magni-
tude. has been undertaken by the
Dutch astronomer. Professor Rapteyn,
who has collected all the material fur
nfshed by the most recent discoveries.
notably those from the American OBJ
servatories. Stars OF less size than the
fourteenth magnitude are found in mil
lions In fhe Milky way. aud the work
Of counting them from Photographic
plates can best be described as similar
to counting blood corpuscles under a
microscope. Professor Kapteyn places
the total at $4,000. 900 stars. the aver
age being 20.400 stars TO the square
degree Of the heavens. He has further
calculated that the total light emanat-
ing from all the stars is equal to 2.3S4
times the luminosity of a star of the
FIRST magnitude. According to the
Dutch scientist. the boundaries of the
universe. as far as human science has
been able to penetrate. extend to $4,000

NEXT TUESDAY, OCTOBER SEW
ENTEENTH

On next Tuesday, October II
there will be held an election al
which the property taxpayers quail
flied to vote will participate.
The main issue is on the proposed
bonds aggregating $4,000 for {
municipal electric light plant.
1t has been attempted to mislead
by foisting the water problem over
the electric light proposition.
The electric light question should
be settled Tuesday by voting for the
bond issue.
In settling the electric light prob
lem by voting for the bond issue,
the agitation over the lighting prob
lew would be at an end and we
could then apply our energies to
the solution of water.
Should the electric light bond is
sue be defeated, the agitation will
probably grow in intensity and pos
sibly. with complications which
may be foreseen. the opportunity
for acquiring a municipal electric
light plant would long be deferred.
II is needless to say that such a
condition would be profitable To the
lighting plant.
We have no peeuniary interest in
the lighting plant but in all the peo-
pie, and we appeal to the taxpayers
to vote for the bonds, if they are
aligned on the side of progressive
development.
The bonds when voted could be
held until needed and when needed
would be ready and at hand.
This is the intelligent medium
for the solution of the lighting issue
and with such settlement the wa
ter problem practically be solved.
We would urge our friends and
all progressive taxpayers to vote for
the bond issue.

A good sized hole should be dug to
receive the roots-not less than three
feet wide and deep enough to have the
tree set three inches or so deeper than
1t stood In the nursery. Only the best
soil should be used in planting. and
that should be made perfectly fine and
worked in among all the roots and
made solid. after the style of setting
post. Then, any time before hard freez-
ing, a small mound of earth, about a
foot high and eighteen inches In diam
eter, is to be raised around the tree.
This not only holds the tree steady in
the winter storms, but is also protec-
ton against ground mice, which are
likely to gnaw the bark and injure or
kill the tree.
Before planting the roots of the tree
are to be pruned. cutting off the broken
ends and all that have been bruised

Liaht and Air For Hens.

1t won't do to keep a lot of hens and
expect them to be busy and lay in a
dark or uncomfortable building. They
prefer light. dry. roomy place. where
each hen can exercise freely and with
out hindrance from the others. They
will never care to scratch. however, Ii
they are fed every time they appear
hungry. They must be compelled to
scratch and work for their food.
We do not advise the limiting Of
the food, says Farm Progress. Give
them plenty but only in the litter.
where they must work and scratch for
each grain. Throw the grain in leaves.
cut straw, cut hay or any other kind
of litter and at night give them
good feed in trough, composed of
mixture. but during the day make
them work hard.
At first they may not be inclined to
accept such conditions, but unless they
scratch let them go hungry. Scratch
ing means eggs, for it keeps them In
health.

of propriety against identifying her
evening slippers with jeweled buckles.
These are being shown in the most

more are square or diamond shaped.
The cheaper ones are of cut steel, but
tar iovelier are the rhinestone buckles
or those of colored French stone or

Thus with pale blue frock and
blue satin slippers there are lovely tur-
quoise buckles. coral ones for pale

Dairyinu IN Winter.

Winter dairying has many adyan.
tages. In the first place, all dairy
products sell at high price in the
winter. If cows come fresh in the fall
they produce good flow Of milk dur
ing the winter months. and In the
spring when they are turned on grHss
this acts as second freshing and
thus iengthens the period Of milk pro-
uuction. Another distinctive advan-
fage is that during the winter season
the farmer Is not so busy with other
