Heat From the Moan.

The moon is made of material sup. posed to be stone, since its specific gravity is about that of the rocks with insreach here on earth. 1t reflects the light it receives from the sun to the earth, but in greatly weakened propor. ton. Therefore this light will affect plants in the same ratio. The effect is very small indeed. Heat energy sent from the sun to the moon is very near. .1y the same as that radiated to the earth, but the quantity sent from the moon to the earth is so small that it is negligible.-New York American.

INTENSIVE FARMING

Instructor in Animal Husbandry and Special Investigator
Assistance for Kentucky Orchardists

Upon many Kentucky farms are
mature apple and peach orchards that
have been neglected for many years
and have produced no income further
than an occasional small crop Of
uncertain quality. With a little in
vestment and a little work at the
proper time, n great many Of thes
orchards can be made to return a
cash income that will be an impor-
tant item in the farm economy.
For the most part, the commercial
orchards of the State are now be-
ing sprayed. On the other hand the
small home orchards that relieve this
attention are exceptions rather than
the rule. On account of the lack Cf
knowledge of the proper means to
apply In combating the common orc
ard pests, many orchardists hav
come TO believe that fruit grown
Is not a profitable business. Under
the conditions prevailing in many
orchards this Is a perfectly correci
conclusion.
The prevalence Of San Jose scale
