WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1914.

This is an uncertain day, according
to the reading of the astrologers.
Many planets contend for influence,
causing both good and evil guidance
in the affairs of men. Uranus, Jupi-
ter, Mercury, Saturn and Mars are all
adverse, in the early hours, but later
some of the aspects change.
The Sun is fairly favorable in its
sway The conditions should be ad-
vantageous for seeking favors. Polit-
ical campaigns should be under for
tunate guidance today, but the cleo
tons have the prognostication of ex-
treme results which represent surpris-
ing votes. especially in certain Eastern
states
Business men and women will do
while this contiguration prevails. New
ventures of every sort should be de-
layed
Discomfort and serious need among
certain classes of workers will cause
widespread discussion during the next
few months. Strikes are foreshad-
owed
There is a prophecy that states
man will cause sensation in Wash
ington. Danger of international CON-
plications is foreshadowed.
Editors are subject to govern
ment that is said to be exceedingly
favorable. A revival in all branches
of publishing is predicted.
Dancing will be less popular than
formerly, the seers predict, but mill
tary suggestions will be introduced in
social affairs, it is said.
For year benefits to hospitals have
been indicated by the stars. 1t is
now prophesied that immense fortunes
will be devoted to these institutions,
which will be developed in new di-
rections.
| Nurses and all who minister to
physical distress are subject to a di-
rection of the stars which denotes the
| spread of a worldwide humanitarian
| ism.

| speculation. Those who are employees

| Children born on this day may be
exceedingly self-willed and stubborn
! They will probably be generous to ex-
| cess, however and able to make many
| friends. Girls have the omen of a
| possibly unhappy marriage

friable condition, and, in some in
stances, adds plant food to the land.
Commercially the strawberry is
propagated by means Of runners and
every plant is merely a cut off or
somewhat distantly separated portion
of the original plant of that particular
variety. A bed intended to grow
plants for setting should expend all
it's energies in the production of young
plants and not be allowed to fruit. In
setting out new patch it Is only
these young plants which should be
used. They are recognized by their
smaller crowns and bright, fibrous
roots.
A complete chemical fertilizer is of
value on a poor soil or where an ap-
plication of manure WAS not given.
The materials can be purchased sep
arately and mixed at home in the fol-
lowing proportions:

most appropriate times for this would

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1914.

AstrOlogers give warning that THIS
is doubtful day, in which it is well
to conduct all affairs with caution
Venus Is in a place of power for good
and Saturn is mildly helpful, early
in the day, but later both Saturn and
Uranus are evil in their sway.
Women appear to be rather for
tunate under this sign In business
affairs they may benefit, but they
should not put their fate to the test
in any romantic association.
This should be fairly lucky wed
ding day, unless the bridegroom is
old
Dinners are subject to a government
that is favorable. Public banquets are
likely to be successful, the influences
being conducive to convincing
speeches and a conviyial spirit.
Entertaining this month, is subject
to leading that will not encourage
much hospitality.
1t is predicted that public meetings
in great numbers will be held in the
United States for the purpose of dis
GUESSING national questions. Increased
activity among Socialists and radicals
is foretold for the winter, when there
will be much poverty and distress.
According to a London seer, theat'
rical affairs in Great Britain will not
be encouraging even in December An
explosion or a serious accident in a
playhouse is foretold.
Uranus and Saturn today may pro-
duce depression and melancholy The
adverse aspects of these planets are
supposed to cause useless worry and
general pesSimism. 1t is a most I'M
lucky government under which to buy,
as fraud is supposed to be practiced
more successfully than at other times.
Disastrous wrecks are prognosti-
Gated for next month, when the wealth
er will be treacherous.
A decrease of crime is predicted as
one of the results of public anxiety.
Magazines are subject to planetary
conditions which presage a period OF
great prosperity.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have an unsettled year. In domestic
affairs conditions will be fortunate,
but business may cause anxiety and
concern
Children born on this day may be
high-strung and restless in nature. but
they will probably be exceedingly ac-
spect and generally successful They
may be too much inclined to enjoy
company.

Daniel Webster once said that lin war
there are no Sundays" and it may be
added that there is small cOnsidera-
ton then for those embellishments of
existence which mean so much to us
in the days of peace. There is little
excuse for war at the present time.

ancient days, when nations knew
comparatively little of each other, or

Cost of Feelings HOGS.

The cost of producing hogs is prin-
cipally feed. The man who produces
feed upon the farm that can be used
to advantage is usually the most sue
cessful in producing pork at the least
cost Grain and mill feed are high
compared with forage. Alfalfa or
clover cheapens the grain feed.

Profit in Keeping Hogs.

One man says: With bacon at 25
and 80 cents a pound it pays to keep
hogs and keep them right" There
Is no question about profit in keeping
hogs right, but at the same time the
big hole in the proposition is the fact
that the producer is not getting 25
and 80 cents a pound for the bacon.

the world Our American cities are,
for the most part, rather ugly, but
many of the European cities are very
beautiful. Brussels is a very beauti-

MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF MINES
STUDENTS FINISH UNDER
GROUND WORK IN | WEEK

Houghton.-The first-year class Of
Michigan College of Mines students
has finished out it's beginning course
in the Principles of Mining by spend
ing a week underground in the copper
mines of the district In other years,
these trips have been taken on Satur-
days throughout the term.
The mines visited this year were
as follows: Calumet and Hecla
(amygdaloid lode), Franklin, Cham
pion, Winona and Isle Royale. In or
der to take these trips, the students
have to arrive at the mines in time TO
go down with morning shift of mi
ners. The captains, shift-bosses and
other mine officials guide them
through the workings and explain to
them the details of mining practice.
The mining companies of Michigan
have always co-operated ungrudging-
ly with the College in its task of
teaching the students how to mine"

and for pumping water. Low pres
sure steam is required for the heat
ing systems of the various buildings,
end in the heating of water for do
nestle service, and for the boilers
themselves. Compressed air is re-
uuired for the operation of thermo-
stats giving automatic heat regulation
in the various buildings, as we'll for
the care of electrical machinery and
apparatus. Electrical energy is re
CURED in the form of an alternating
current at 1900 volts for general
distribution, and at ITO volts for hight
ing, and 220 volts for power. A dl-
rect current is also required at 10
volts for excitation, at 800 volts Tor
present direct current motors and lab
oratory use, and at 500 volts for cleo
trio railway service.
From first to last, it has been the
aim Of the designers to do away with
all the labor possible, and to this end
every possible labor saving device has
been employed. From the time wnen
the coal is taken from the mines 20
the time when the ashes are hauled
away, not a mans shovel will touch
a particle of coal or refuse. A thirty
ton electrical locomotive brings the
coal cars to the plant from the Mich
igan Central tracks, an electrically OPP
Grated travelling crane unloads the coal
into an outside storage bin of 1000
tons capacity. From there it is ele-
waited, crushed and dumped into the
steel bunkers of 500 tons capacity
over the boiler room, from which the
proper number of pounds are let into
the CRATE beneath each boiler by
means of lever. From the CRATE the
ashes drop into large pipe from
which they are sucked, cinders and

all, into a twelve-ton ash container,
situated just above the railroad spur
on the west side of the building. Fiji
teen thousand tons of coal a year will
be handled in this way.
Into each of the boilers the coal is
weighed separately, so that record
of the cost of firing each boiler is pos
sible. In addition to these boilers,
which supply steam for the power
plant and for heating purposes, there
are two large feed water heaters,
which bring the water to the boiling
point before it is turned into the boil
ers, in this way avoiding the waste Of
heat, which results when cold water
must be brought to boiling in the
boiler itself. Each of these heaters
will have capacity of $4,000 gallons
per hour at a temperature of PIP de-
grees. They will also supply hot wa
ter for gymnasiums and the Nomoeo-
pathic hospital.
Only three men will be required to
run the plant at any one time, an en-.
gineer, a stoker and a water-boy.
They will work in eight hour shifts, so
that total force of but nine men will
be needed for the operation of the
Liant.

that Prof. Cobb is now planning a
second campaign. This will be a con-
structive, rather than destructive,
campaign. Prof. Cobb has the printed
matter nearly ready for distribution.
1t deals with methods for testing the
soil for acidity and for lime. The
plan is to furnish the teachers of the
rural schools throughout Western
Michigan, with full information re-
garding methods for soil testing, and
to have these instructions SO simple
that any teacher can test soil with a
fair degree of accuracy. AS soon AS
the teachers become expert testers,
the children will be invited to bring
samples of soil to school, that these
may be pronounced either alkaline or
acid. Prof. Cobb has noticed in his
travels over Western Michigan, that
many acres are being sown to alfalfa,
which acres are so strongly acid that
the prospects of getting a good alfalfa
crop is small. 1t is his idea that all
farmers before sowing alfalfa, should
send to the nearest school-teacher
samples of soil from the proposed
field, that the teacher may render a
statement as to the need of the soil
as regards lime.
Prof. Cobb recently gave expression
to the following sentiments upon this
point: at is folly for the high
schools and the agricultural colleges
to allow the farmers to continue to
SOW alfalfa on fields that are lacking
in lime, and to eventually make fail
ure of their efforts, when the condi-
ton of the soil can be so easily deter
mined.
