Ihn Strencti1 OF Hiaas.

Some elaborate calculations, backed
by experiments, have been made to de-
termine the breaking strength Of
rings. It appears that ring OF cucple
material like malieab!e iron Will be
pulled out into the form Of Q long Ink
before it breaks AID that tie Ultimate
strength Of the ring is virtually i1ce-
pendent of its diameter. Fracture
hDal!y occurs as the result Of almost
pure tension, and the resistance to
breaking is q little less than twice that
o. rod cf the same cross section sub
jected to straight pull. AS the ring
increases in diameter there appears to
be slight approach toward equality,
with double the strength Of Q bar.
Thus three inch ring made Of three
quarter inch iron broke at nineteen
and one-haie tons: four inch ring at
nineteen and nine-tenths tons and six
inch ring at twenty tons. the strength
Of a bar Of the same metal being ten
and one-haif tons.

Farmers Week and Agricultural
Short Courses.

The week OF January oil, 1913,
has been designated by the Agri-
cultural College of the Kentucky
State University, at Lexington, as
Farmers Week. Following this
will come the regular winter short
course of ten weeks, arranged
especially for the practical, busy
farmer.
The Farmers Week is no new
thing, as it has become one of the
annual events arranged by the EX-
tension Department of the College.
The week will be occupied by
the annual conventions of the va
rious breeders associations and
other farmers organizations OF
Kentucky. Tuesday has been
designated as Swine day; We'd
nesday, Corn day; Thursday,
Sheep and Horticultural day; Fri
day, Dairy Cattle day, and Satur-
day, Horse and Beef Cattle day.
The state corn show, the horti-
cultural show and the dairy show
will be conducted throughout the
entire week, a regular course of
lectures accompanying.
While the programs of the vari-
GUS meetings will be largely fill
ed by members of the associations,
thsre will be men OF national repu-
tation in the various lines who will
deliver the principal addresses.
1t is earnestly hoped that large
number of persons will bring or
send. their corn, dairy products
horticultural products to exhibit
OF to compete for the prizes. The
corn show includes the junior de-
partment.
The women have not been neg
lected in the arrangements for
Farmrs' Week, for special school
Of Household Economics has been
provided for them.
Negotiations are under way for
securing a reduced rate over all
railroads. Boarding places at rea-
sonable rates can be secured by
asking the Superintendent of the
Extension Division, at the college
building.
No expense or trouble has been
spared to make the week as pleas
ant and profitable as can possibly
be arranged and no farmer can at
foid to let this opportunity slip,
as this is also the best chance that
can be afforded for meeting and
getting personally acquainted
with the best farmers and breeders
OF our own state and many from
other states.
Immediately following Farmers
Week will begin the Short Course
in Agriculture, intended for the
practical farmer. This course con-
