TRAIN BOYS TO RAISE HOGS
Department of Agriculture Gives In
structions for Pig Club-Some of
Important Points.

In this time of the shortage of beet
raise more hogs.
That's Uncle Sans advice, given
through his department of agriculture,
says the Kansas City Star. To be sure
the farmers won't forget it, he would
train them as boys and boys pig clubs
are his means of education.
Any boy who has a pig can be a
member. Uncle Sam has prepared a
bulletin which tells him how to feed
and care for his stock.
Some of the points to bear in mind
are the following:
''The feeding and care are as impor-
tant as the breeding in producing q
good hog. Plenty of feed and care
may make good hog out of runt,
but lack of it will always make a runt
out of good pig.
'To make pork cheaply permanent
pasture and forage crops must be
used.
Young pigs must have a dry bed
and plenty of sunshine.
Begin feeding the pig as soon as he
will eat, and keep him growing until
he is mature.
Always keep plenty of clean fresh
water where the hogs may drink at
any time.
Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
Never keep a brood SOW that will
not produce more than four strong
pigs at litter.
Always keep mixture of charcoal
wood ashes, lime, sulphur, salt and
copperas before the hogs"

DA'STELESCOPE
Canadian Government Soon to
Have Powerful Instrument.
Referred to as "The Largest TeIe-
scope in the World" and Will
Cost Nearly $1o0,ooo-Its Lo-
cation Not Yet Determined.

ottawa, Can.-The Canadian gov,
| powerful rejecting telescope than any
now in existence. 1t has been re-
ferred to in the newspapers as the
largest telescope in the world" but
this description is misleading for two
reasons; first, because it's aperture,
II inches, is to be the same as that
of the famous Parsonstown reflector,
built by Lord Rose in 1912; and sec
ond, because by the time the Canadi-
an instrument is completed it now
| seems likely that the 100-inch reflec-
tor which has long been under con-
struction for the Mount Wilson Solar
observatory will also be ready for
use. The Canadian telescope will,
however, be a much more efficient in
strument than Lord Rosse's. Not
only will the mirror be much SUI
perior, but the mounting will enable
the telescope to be worked to the full
advantage. The Parsonstown refec-
tor has an altazimuth, not an equa-
torial, mounting and is operated un-
der such difficulties that comparative
ly little use has ever been made of
it.
Contracts for the new telescope
have just been awarded to ]. Bra
shear for the mirrors and other op-
tical parts, and to Warner e Swasey
for the mounting. The disk for the
principal mirror will be made by the
st. Gobain glass works, in Paris, but
all the grinding and figuring will be
done in this country. The total cost
will be nearly one hundred thousand
dollars. Inasmuch as the instrument
is intended primarily and notoriously
for work of no immediate practical
benefit, viz, the spectrographic meas
urement of radial stellar velocities,
this sum represents a very notable
contribution to pure science on the
part of a government
The telescope will have a parabolic
mirror Of 72 inches clear aperture and
80 feet focal length, with central
hole ten inches in diameter. The
mounting is to be similar to that Of

Long time ago, when the spry little
chipmunk darted across the camp
ground in the yellow sunlight of a
summer morning, the old men would
call to the little Indian boys not to
shoot their arrows at it.
"Ho! he is our friend" an old man
would say, and when the boys asked
why the chipmunk was their friend,
the cid man would tell this story:
1t was in the days when man began
to spread out over the earth and make
himself the ruler Of all the birds and
animals and insects Whenever man
wanted bird or an animal to eat or
a worm to catch fish, he just went
and took it without asking.
So the birds, the insects and the
small animals called council to see
what they could do to stop man from
taking their lives. 1t was a carrier
pigeon that took word to all that the
council was to be held, and when she
got back from her long travels, the
carrier pigeon settled down in a patch
of wild oats and began to eat She
was SO hungry that all she would say
to those who asked her if all of mans
enemies were coming was:
"You will have to get extra seats,
and put the thousand-legged centipede
at the door to count them as they go
into the council house!"
And sure enough when the grub
worm, who was chief of the council,
took his seat at the east end CT the
council house and locked over all who
had come, he rubbed his hands in good
humor at the sight of so many of man s
enemies.
Now, it is time for you to speak
and tell what you think about man.,
said the grubworm. And first the frog
got up and spoke.
Look at me, brothers." he said (and
he spoke in low, sad voice), Il am
ugly and crippled, and all over my
back you can see sores. I can no
longer run fast, but have to hop-hop
along; | am no longer beautiful, and

my throat is twisted SO that my sons
is NO longer sweet and clear. Mar
has kicked me about so much that
am as you see me. I think that it il
time to remove man from the earth.
Then the black-legged snipe spoke
and told everyone why he wanted mar
killed.

sharp stick through me and holds me
over the fire until my very legs are
burned black and crisp. You all know
how hard it is for me to walk, how
have to go teetering along even on the
smoothest sand. Well, if man hai
burned your legs and feet as he has
burned mine, you would know why
vote to have man removed from this
earth
So, one after another spoke and sale
that they thought man ought to be
killed, and after each one spoke the
grubworm cried cut:
That was a good talk, brother!"
Finally, the little cEipmunk got VI
and said that he would like to say c
few words about man; and the grub
worm told him to go ahead.
Il am the friend of man." said the
chipmunk first, and at that the ami
mails and birds and insects cried out
'We won't have him here-put the
chipmunk out!"
Man likes me- said the chipmunk
because am yellow like the sunlight
and go flashing across the camp like
a happy boys arrow. l do not want to
be"
But the chipmunk did not finish the
sentence, for the animals and birds
and insects all rushed at him to drive
him out of the council The first one
to reach him was the hawk, and as
the hawk swooped toward him, the
chipmunk headed for the door.
But the hawks sharp claws rakeG
the back Of the chipmunk as he rar
and made stripes along his whole
length-and these stripes are there tc
this day to show what the chipmunl
suffered for speaking up for man.

side and nearly midway between the
bearings of the long polar axis, the
balance being restored by the declina-
tion motion mechanism and by coun-
terweights at the other side. Both
polar and declination axis will be car

lieving the friction. The construction
will also be simplified in otherrespects.
e. g., all fine circles will be omitted,
ascension. 1t is characteristic Of
twentieth century technique in astron-
omy that, although the new telescope
will have a full set of oculars for vls-
ual observations, no program of visual
work is contemplated. Nowadays the
camera takes the place Of the human
retina The main purpose of the
instrument will be the measurement
of motion in the line of sight of
stars fainter than the fifth magni-
tude; a task beyond the light-gath-
ering power of nearly all existing
telescopes. For such work the tele-
scope will generally be used in the
Cassegrain form; the light from the
main mirror, converging toward a TO-
Gus, will be received by second hy-
periodical mirror of about nineteen
inches aperture and ten feet focus,
placed about twenty-three feet above
the main mirror. The light passes
thence down through the hole in the
main mirror, and the star images are
formed about three feet below the lat
ter Here the spectrograph will be
placed For the fainter stars of low
dispersion the spectrograph will prob
ably be placed at the prime focus. An
investigation of the atmospheric con-
ditions in different parts of Canada Is
now in progress, to determine where
the telescope will be located.
