human system, which stimulates the
flowing action Of the blood through
the veins, especially at the pont where
the vibrator is applied
The system Of imparting this vibra-
tory action to buds and blossoms has
been worked out and patented by
Herman L. Darling of Delta, Cole 1t
comprises the installation in the tree
of a small electric motor having a
trembling rotary motion and con-
nected by transmitting wires to an
electric current.
During the months of April and May
when the orchard is subjected to sud
den freezes, by means of this system,
a vibTatory trembling motion is i'm
parted to all limbs Of the tree, trans
mitted to twigs and bulbs and this
motion starts the sap to circulating,
invigorates the buds and strengthens
them against the killing effects of the
frost.

FARM OF FORTY ACRES
Equipment, Management and In
come of Small Place.
Convenient Scheme for Dividing Land
Into Five-kcre Tracts-One OF
These Utilized for Home
stead and Garden.

CBy w. ]. SPILLMAN, Chief OF United
States Bureau of Farm management
Mr. n H. Mowry Of the office or
farm management, has been making
a special study of the equipment, man
agement and income of a large num-
Der of small fruit and truck farms,
many of them run by people who nave
recently come from the city.
This study has given US somewhat
a new point Of view. In general these
small farmers are not successful. 1his
fact has led US to study the question
more closely, and as result
scheme for the management Of forty
acre farm is outlined below, which
seems to be practicable.
Figure 1 shows convenient scheme
for subdiyiding forty acres to fit it for
the cropping system to be outlined
below. II will be observed that the
forty acres are divided into eight five
acre tracts. One of these is set aside
for what may be called the home
stead" These five acres are at the

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM.
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

It is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the eEclusixe use of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be OF the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year
Il is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns,
as'it Is a matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the flu
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one Of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
I'VE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," he said, but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riyeted on Canada. The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive lot of attention, but the busi-
ness in that route win be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama viii de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being df-
yerted from the United States to the
Dominion

West is the attraction, and while this
flood Of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises
strict censorship over the class OF i'm
migrants admitted la this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have

When the Sun viii Die.

1t may be said unqualifledly that
the sum- like every other thing con-
nected with the present order, will
finally cease to be what it is today.
The time will most surely come when
the sun will have ceased to throw off
light and heat. Long before that hap
pens, however, the earth and other
planets will have become dead
worlds like the moon-no life Of any
sort upon them. 1t has been calcu-
lated that the sun will cease to throw
out its heat somewhere about seven
million of years from now.

KEEPING BROOD SOW HEALTHY
Grass or Vegetable Diet as Pos
sibIe-Roots Urged
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Grass and vegetable matter are the
most natural foods for pigs, although
they will eat and can digest a great
variety of things The nearer SOW
can be kept to a grass or vegetable
diet the healthier she will be, and this
system is preferable TO dry, rich foods
consisting mainly of grain, barley or
other meals.
Bran is most useful when ggass is
not available, but where ii is noL POS
sible to give sows grass run, luceri.c
tares and other green forage crops can
sometimes be substituted.
Roots, except that mangels must not
be given at all freely as narrowing APP
proaches or the pigs are almost GER
tain to be born dead, are useful and
where there is large garden it will
provide a great deal OF vegetable stuff
that can be advantageously employed
for in-pig sows-stuff, too, that would
be otherwise wasted. Large quantities
of dry grain, and especially corn and
barley, must be avoided as too heat
! ing; and hotel waste, butchers offal,
Slaughter-house refuse-indeed animal
matter in any form-are also bad, and
may, it is said, be an exciting cause
OF cannibaiism.
When at grass or getting green
forage or garden stuff, a few old beans
Or some dry corn may be given once
or twice b week
The food for the in-pig SOW for the
last week or so of her time should
be as nearly as possible that on which
she viii be fed for three or four weeks
after she is narrowed. A weiEknown
breeder says:
1--WE have ceased to give barley or
other meal to our sucking soWs until
the pigs are at least a month old Our
newly farroWed sows are fed sharps,
or what is locally termed thirds, mid
dlings, ETC., and varying amount of
bran, determined by the richness of
the sharps, the number of the litter
and the age OF the SOW, also conoi-
ton" His recommendation for feed
ing the in-pig SOW is: Vegetable food,
with little dry grass, beans. peas or
corn until within a week of farrow-
ing"

''All the colored people around Nola

IJnfavorable Soils,

Clay soils are unfavorable to vege
tation because the soil is too close and
adhesive to allow the free passage OF
air or water to the roots of the plants
1t also obstructs the expansion Of the
fibers of the roots. Sandy soils are
unfavorav1e because they consist OF
particles that have too little adhesion
to each other. They do not retain
sufficient moisture for the nourish-
ment of the plants. They allow too
much solar heat to pass TO the roots.
Chalk soils are Unfavorabie because
they do not absorb the solar heat, and
are, therefore, cold to the roots Of the
plants
