Origin of Life.
From Scienc,

Since living matter always contains
water as its most abundant constituent,
and since the first living organisms rec
ogniZable as such in the geological
series were aquatic. it has generally been
assumed that life must first have made
its appearance in the depths of the
ocean. Is it, however. certain that the
assumption that life originated i'm the
sea correct? Is not the land surface
of our globe quite as likely to have been
the indus for the evolutionary transfer
nation of non-living into living material
as the waters which surround it? Within
this soil almost any chemical transfor-
nation may occur: it is subjected much
more than matters dissolved I'm sea water
to those fluctuations of moisture, tenn
perature. electricity and luminosity
which are potent in producing chemical
changes. But whether life, in the form
of a simple Shiny colloid, originated in
the depths of the sea or on the surface
of the land, ii would be equally impos-
sible for the geologist to trace its be-
ginning. and We're ii still becoming

be almost AZ impossible for the micro

The work of repairing camps and putting
them in readiness for the crews. and of
swamping our roads. was commenced
last month in many places and when the
men were sent into the woods early in
September everything was in readiness
for them to begin work Immediately. Just
at present the operators are bending their
energies toward cutting timber, the logs
lying where they fall until the arrival of
snow, when they are yarded. The old
time expert aXmen are gradually disap-
pearing and the majority of trees nova
days are felled with a buck saw instead.
1t takes two husky men to handle one
effectively. but they can do the work
fully as quick as did the axmen and the
waste is much less. The trees can be
cut much nearer to the ground. and, in
stead of spelling. perhaps foot and a half
or two feet of the finished timber. the
waste is measured only by the width of
the saw. Axmen still have their work
cut out for them however, in looping off
branches and in working where a saw
could not be used to advantage.

Cutting Corn for slIaoe.

The composition Of corn undergoes
rapid changes from the tasseling pc.
riod until maturity. The dry matter
shows an Increase of one and three
fifths tons per acre from the time the
corn is In tassel until the kernels are
dented. Tasseled corn has only one
fifth as much dry matter as mature
corn. 1t Is owing to such changes
that corn must be cut at the proper
stage II 1T is to make the best silage.
II cut too green. the silage will sour
more easily and will not possess the
fullest food value. Immature corn IL
often the cause of the complaints that
silage makes undesirable milk II cut
too ripe the desired succulence is lost
The proper stage for cutting is when
the lower leaves have commenced to
fire and brown. yet when the greater
part OF the leaves are still green. The
kernels should be out OF the milk
stake and dented and hardened.

MIlkinu Machlnes.

The use Of milking machines has
been considerably extended In VIC
toria, Australia, during the past sea-
son; and. owing to the scarcity OF
suitable labor on dairy farms, their
adoption may be expected to become
even more general. The provinciai
board Of agriculture says: ut is ad.
visable to emphasize that the utmost
care and cleanliness are necessary. A
haphazard method OF dealing with rub
ber tubes and fittings cannot be toler-
ated. Greater care is necessary with
these machines than is the case with
the ordinary pail; but. given that ex-
ira intelligent attention. milking by
machinery should not detrimentaliy
affect the quality of the product. It 10
advisable to cleanse the cow's teats
before attaching the milking cups and
to carefully strip every COW after the
machine is detached to see that no
milk has been left behind. Animals
regarding which there may be any sus-
picion should be hand-milked. With
these precautions the machine will
answer every purpose"

IRRIGATE IN VARIOUS WAYS
Current Motors Used to Force Water

Other Pumps on sarges.

Irrigation as practiced by the an
clients and In the early days OF its ex-
ploitation In this country was purely
matter OF gravity. Though most Of
the government irrigation projects are
based upon the, gravity principle there
are numerous successful irrigation
districts where various other forces
are employed.
The government has a pumping
plant on the Williston project IL
North Dakota In which the pumps are
located upon barges on account OF the
varying heights OF water in the Mis-.
souri, river. Connection Is made to
the canals along the shore by fiexi-
BILE pipes
In the only government irrigation
project in Kansas water is obta,led
by pumping from twenty-three xells.
the pumps being driven from central
power station In certain innances
on other projects water Is pumped to
higher benches from canals which are
filled by gravity and which supply a
lower portion OF the irrigated tract by
gravity.
In New Mexico and part Of west
Texas the water supply is from wells
some freely flowing artesian and some
from which water has to be pumped
In Arizona, on one of the government
projects, use Is made Of large wheel
to elevate water from low line" to
high liney canals
Water distribution is effected In
various ways. Generally the water
flows by gravity in open canals and
bitches; sometimes In pipes under.
ground with hydrants at Intervals dis.
charging into bitches: sometimes for
truck gardens aud the like. In overhead
sprinkler pipes. One system resembles
the rotating lawn sprinkler on large

GUARD AGAINST
WASTE in FEED
Farmer Must Syetsma taxe Feed.
Ang So That Good RoughaSs
II Not Refused by
Cattle.

Feed has grown to be SO high priced
that wasting 1t seems like squandering
gold; yet the careless feeder wastes an
enormous amount OF feed every winter
when little watchfulness and sound
judgment would save II.
When stock are fed tempting
grain ,feed before or at the same time
they are given their roughage ration
they invariably become somewhat
dainty as to what they eat, picking
out but the very best OF the roughage
and rejecting all the rest.
When this habit Is once formed
stock will often go hungry rather than
eat what has been picked over and
which really Is very good feed. There
fore. one must systematize his feed
ing In such manner as to guard
against the habit being formed.
