fashion Directly the horses have left the

The blindfolced people will then be ad-

lucky In jumping When the race is de-
clared over the bandages are undone and

The Telephotograph

As early as 1s3 a scientist named Balm
was hard At work trying to find out how
he might save lot of time by sending
photographs by wire In other words. he
thought that as long as one could send
words by telegraph some way could be
devised by which pictures could be sent
However il was not until 1894 that Pro-
lessor Arthur Korn, OF Berlin. made the
first successful telephotogrsp This

pared ink through a glass grating on to
metal foil. which is then rolled around a
cylinder. Then the cylinder is made to
rotate and an electric current is sent
TO it through metal point-the same
kind of point that the photograph has
This point makes a spiral line around the
cylinder. On the other end of the wire

to be practicable for telegraphing photo

The largest user of telephoto pictures is
a London paper. The Daily Mirror II

Manchester and from Paris There is
also a regular service between Berlin and
Paris.
Professor Korn hopes 10 perfect the

bined, and the sixth for a nitrogen and
phosphorus. There are in all twelve
hundred educativc culture pots full of
growing grain in the greenhouse.
For these pot cultures wheat, bar
ley or oats is planted according to the
test desired. Thirty seeds, selected
for their uniformity, are planted.
Chemistry Solves Problem.
1.-The fundamental and especially
original phase Of the whole undertake
ing is the correlation upon such a
comprehensive commercial scale Of
chemical analysis and pot culture.
The pot culture, for example, general
ly shows that the northwestern soils
lack phosphorus. But this is indefi-
mite; since the trouble may be either
an absolute insuficiency or only a de-
t~icicncy Of phosphorus in form avail
able for plant growth. Chemical an
alysis will decide.
Correct fertilization is crucial. On
this point the farmer is nearly always
inexperienced and always prejudiced.
Accustomed to a rich virgin soil, it is
hard for him to realize even in the
face Of failing production, that it will
deterioratc unless the exhaustion from
cropping is made good by fertilizing.
In the last census year the farmers Of
Minnesota and North Dakota spent
$i4,O00,0GO for labor and only $261 900
for fertilizer.
Instances are given in the article OF
profits to farmers who followed good
farming as the Hill method has taught
it. and the great question, the article
says, is how to reach the farmer,~the
actual, middle-aged or elderly, con-
serservative and skeptical and llirbe-
believable Custom-bOund producer,
without textbook or classroom.
Doing the Work..
The Hill method is doing the work,
the article says. "'Today the demon
stration farms, aided and directed by
the crucible. the retort and the culture
pot. are answering this a~ll-important
question. This what they say: The
way to educate men on the farm is
to take instruction TO them, since they
either cannot or will not go to it. The
way to make Them understand the
better methods is to see that they car
ry them out on their own ground.
