THE PASSING OF TIE-UP STALLS


A progressive farmer who has the in
terest of his horses at heart writes
the following article on the care OF
horses:
Three years ago we remodeled our
horse stable. tore out the old tie-up
stalls and instead built in good, roomy
box stalls. Each stall is fitted with
track and roller door five feet in
width, making plenty of space for the
animals to pass. We believe that ii is
cruel to work a horse all day long,
bring him tired and sweating and tie
him up in one position. There is no
enclosure more humane than the box
stall.
Our stalls are roomy and the horse
can lie i'm any position, roll over kick
and stretch and get exercise and free
dom that a horse tied up TO a manager
never enjoys. When we bring our
horses in from work at noon. we re-
move the harness and they have free
dom to rest.
For the mare and her colt there is

estimated that the Improvement OF
the main roads Of this country, APP
proximately 20 per cent, would result
i'm an annual saving of at least $3.50
900, 900 in the cost of hauling alone,
which would be sufficient TO improve
$4,000 miles of road at further cost
Of $1,000 per mile. In five years this
would be sufficient TO bring the total
mileage Of improved roads up to 20

MICHIGAN WHEAT FOR EUROPE

The United States has approximate
ly 30O,00O,0O0 bushels Of wheat on
hand this year for export and prac-
tically all of ii will probably be sold
to the warning countries of Europe.
According to a report issued today by
the United States Department OF
Agriculture the wheat production of
the United States this year will be
around $50, 100000 bushels and only
COL 900, 600 bushels will be needed for
food consumption and seed purposes
at home.

The percapita wheat consumption
of Michigan for food is 5 bushels. and
the total annual requirement for seed
and food purposes in this State is
16,4S0, 900 bushels. leaving a surplus
of production this year of approx
mately 100000 bushels.

FASTENING THE REPAIRS
TO MAIN WATER CONDUIT
Work Made Necessary by Fall of
Rock at Great Falls Two
Years Ago.
NOTICE OF DISSOLUTIO,

Good progress is being made on the
work Of lining the conduit which
brings the water supply to Washington,
according TO statements made today at
the office of Maj. Kutz. The work Is
about twothirds completed. 1t has
been in progress for two years and. it
is expected. Will be finished in about
4 year and half
Although the average Washingtonia n
Is perhaps not aware of it, the water
supply is turned off three or four days
week to permit workmen to put into
the conduit a concrete lining. Con-
gress has appropriated on several oc-
casions. in all, $4,000 for the work,
and there is an item of $4,000 in the
current appropriation bill A similar
sum will be asked for next October.
when the estimates again go to Con-
gress, and that sum. it is expected, will
be sufficient to complete the work
A couple of years ago about seventy
fve cubic yards of rock fell from the
Top and sides of the conduit at Great
Falls reducing the water supply to
such an extent that prompt action was
required in removing the obstruction
and in supporting the loosened rock re-
manning, which was thought liable to
fall a any time.
When the water is turned off In the
conduit the city is supplied from the
reservoirs.

to American Ship.

Ihat the honor of heading the process

an American vessel has been EXPRESSED
by the House committee on interstate

Thursday eliminated from Senator

for repairing the Louise and presenting
her to the French people as an appre
citation of their part in cleaying the
isthmus. The launch was built In
France in 1885 and was used nv Tho
French canal company and later Nv rho
American builders.
Secretary Garrison wrote that the
proposal in the Senate bill to nut the
Louise in the place Of honor had not
been called to his attention.
Il feel that the honor of being the
first vessel through the canal should
be accorded to a United States vessel
flying the United States flag" wrote
Secretary Garrison, and that the honor
of the first place to the Louise is un-
necessary and would not meet with
general approval. ] feel that the
United States is entitled to any honor
that may attach to the first passage OF
the canal, in view of the fact that the
United States has spent millions of dol
lars in connection with this work and
has finally completed the undertaking.

IN RANKS OF HUMORISTS.
Mr.. Roberts Wants Monument tt
Constitution of Freedom"

Pitcher Walter Johnson's father-in-
law, Representative Roberts of Nevada,
broke into the ranks of the humorists
in Congress yesterday, when he intro
duced a bill authorizing an appropri-
alton of $4,000 as a part contribution
toward the erection of a monument in
this city in COMMUNICATION of the dis
covery of The New Constitution of
Freedom"
The bill proposed that the appropri-
alton would be contingent upon a
Observation-Disclosures contribution
by American business men, the design
to be in keeping with the spirit of the
times. and approved by the Secretary
of Commerce and the presidents of the
American Protective Tariff League and

When Body Reorganizes
Next Month.

That Henry P. Blair, president of the
board of education and Ernest II. Daniel
vice president of that body. will be re-
elected to their respective positions wher
the board reorgantzes in July, is the be-

meeting of the board may be held
Monday or Tuesday.
Only one new member is to be added
to the board in July. Mrs. Coralie F
Cook will be sworn in to take the place
of Mrs Caroline W. Harris, whose tern
expires at the end of this month.
Mr.. Blair has been president of the

Its Outer Satellites.

The Lick observatory. with the thirty
six-inch Grossly reflector, has made
some very Interesting observations OF
the sixth, seventh and eighth outer
satellites of Jupiter, and photographs
made In the principal focus at exposed
durations from forty-five to 80 min
utes, which give perceptible trail to
the image of the satellites.
In the study OF the mechanics of the
heavens the satellites Of Jupiter prove
of special interest to the mathematician,
who finds in them a most striking in

MR.. BRYAN CUTS melon
Z. FOR NEWSPAPER MEN
Twas the Real Article and Secre-
tary of State Proves Liberal
Dispenser.

They cut a melon at the State De-
partment this week, and generous slices
were passed out to the newspaper men,
Secretary Bryan donated the slices. 1t
was watermelon. by the way, and a
good big one, too. 1t was sent to Mr.
Bryan from Florida, and being too large
for use at the Bryan household, Secre-
tary Bryan called his friends among the
correspondents into conference and asked
them to help him dispose of the monster
vegetable.
So 1t was decided to have the cutting
at one of the afternoon conferences be-
tween the premier of the cabinet and
his newspaper friends. And so the
melon, crisp and cool from the refrig-
to the State Department, and when the
newspaper men assembled at Mr.. Bryan $
office he took them across the hall where
the feast awaited them.
Mr.. Bryan Is Liberal.
Mr.. Bryan welded the big knife to
advantage and presently all of the
guests, including assistant secretaries
and bureau chiefs. were devour1ng Die
segments of the delicious melon, paus
ing now and again to remark how gooo
it was.
One of the correspondents present re-
minded Mr.. Bryan that the last time
he cut a melon with the scrioes was
during the convention of 1908 Whlcf
made him a candidate for the presidency
1t happened when monster demonstra'
ton in Mr.. Bryan's honor was II

Adopts the Suggestion.
Mr. Bryan was quick to adopt the
suggestion, and during the remalnlne

by the way, broke all endurance records
the present Secretary of State and the

Trade Wind Currents.

THE theories as to the cause OF ocean
currents have been many. In recent times
the course of currents has been laid to
rivers and the gulf stream chiefly to the
Mississippi. In actual fact about 1000
such rivers would be required. In the
tropical regions there is a steady move
ment of the air from east to west known
as the trade winds Winds blowing over
the surface of the water induce cur
rent in the latter due to friction. AT
first it is only the merest skim that
moves but gradually the motion is COM
municated from layer to layer until at
last, if the wind is long continued as in
the trade wind region, the movement ex-
tends to lower Depths 800 or 400 feet, or
perhaps more These trade wind currents
continue across the Caribbean until they
reach the obstruction of the Honduras
and Yucatan coasts. from which they
escape into the Gulf Of Mexico.
Cites Another Cause.
Another source of the gulf stream is
the waves caused by the wind. Every
ripple carries certain amount of water
in the direction toward which it Is flow
ing. irrespective of the current caused by
its friction and when the waves become
large tons of water are hurled from the
crest into the trough every time the wave
breaks In large area like the Carib-
bean, having a comparatively constant
wind blowing over its whole surface. this
action is practically simultaneous move
ment of the surface waters to the west
ward.
There is every evidence that the gulf
stream is governed absolutely by law in
all its variations; its course through the
ocean is without doubt fixed. its ductua-
tons are by days. months, seasons, or by
years. but they do not vary materially
one year from the other. So We may con-
clude that of all the physical forces on
this earth that are subject to any varia-
tons at all the great ocean currents are
most immutable.'

Changes Noted by Observers.

These changes on the disc of Jupiter
were noted when recent observations
were made in some of the European OBJ
servatories and therefore the subject
of the latest scientific discussion in as
Economical circles.
During the early morning hours Jupi-
ter shines out with it's golden radiance
in the south on the eastern border of
the wonderful summer branch of the
milky way. and observed through a
telescope or even with the naked eye, in
the stiffness of the early mornind
hours, is perhaps the most marvellous
of all celestial objects that adorns the
summer sky.
Its beauty and grandeur is increased
when it's immense proportions are con-
sidered. for it will take 1900 earths.

70 the globe of Jupiter. 1t revolves
in an elliptic orbit around the sun In
the focus at a mean distance of 49,
10000 miles. 1t Is not a solid BODY
and conclusively there is no life there.
While the earth passes over eighteen
miles each second, Jupiter accomplisnes
only eight miles. 1t thus happens that
Jupiter requires 4,332.6 days, or about
fifty days less than twelve years, to
make a circuit of the heavens.

JUPITER MOST NOTED
AMONG THE PLANETS
Conspicuous Object in the Morning
Hours Admired by All
Astronomers.

The great planet Jupiter which is
more than 1900 times as large as the
earth, is now the most conspicuous Of
all the planets in the morning sky, and
will be for some time the subject Of
interesting telescope research and OBJ
servation at all the great observatories
of the world.
In recent years the disc of this giant
member of the solar system, ever chang
ing in many of its principal features, has
been giving to astronomers some inter-
esting and puzzling problems to solve.
Last year the equatorial current had
increased its rate of movement: its rota-
ton being 9 hours 30 minutes and II
seconds from a number of spots in. the
south edge of the northern equatorial
belt. Are these markings still visible,
and what is their velocity compared
with that determined during previous OPP
positions? The great south temperate
spot now precedes the red spot. The
former was no less than 135 degrees in
length during the last opposition, and
it may ultimately extend around Jupiter
and darken the previously brilliant
tropical zone.

influence on New World.

TT is Interesting to note In the history
Of the gulf stream how great its influ-
ence has been on the fortunes Of the new
world Before the discovery of America
strange woods and fruits were frequently
found on the shores of Europe. Some of
these were seen by Columbus and to him
were convincing evidence that strange
lands were to the westward. These
woods were carried by the gulf stream
and by the prevailing winds from Amer
lea, SO that in part the stream is re-
sponsible for the discovery of the new
world. Ponce de Leon. while searching
for the fountain of youth, discovered this
stream. He sailed southwark along the
coast of Florida, thus stemming the cur
rent. He says they found current that,
though the wind was good, they could
not stem. 1t seemed that their vessels
were going fast through the water. but
they were being driven back, In spite Of
the strong and favorable wind. One
ship was soon carried away by the cur
rent and lost from sight, although 1t was
a clear Sky'

Admiral Pillsbury. ut is difficult for the
