II Is hardly possible to use instru-

forces OF lightning. yet there are many
other ways OF calculating familiar to

light given by single lightning fash

miles square. The holt itself would
be visible several miles farther OF. bnt
the remotest part Of the region men
toned would have as much light as
would be given by candle-quite
enough TO read by. To produce such u
light It would be necessary to expend
$4,000 horsepower for second. These

MAKE YOUR OWN
AND SAVE MONEY
This Is Advice Given Out About
Stock and Egg TOniCs

p james w Helme, state food and
dairy commissioner has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin about stock and egg
tonics:
With the opening of spring aud the
coming OF the first robin, the old hen
besins to think about raising olfsprins
the coming season. About this time
the agricultural papers of the country
blossom out with advertisements of
various egg tonics to make the old hen
perform her duty to the community
anu her postcrty.
onc of the most extensively adVer-
tiscd is Dr. Hess Poultry panacoa.
Mary Twain once said, THAT the Sc
rret for n successful candidacy To Of
lie was to confess all your crimes be-
lore you started in--thcn there would
hc no exposures during the cam
paign.' Or. Hess has utilized this idea
ana he wants no exposures of his
poultry papacca, so he gives the con-
stituents of it in his advertisements
lFht names of the constituents given

is the chemical name for Salt Pctrc.
