hope and her refinement Is the charm
Of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her lower are the cumu-

hallowed influen % blighted by the
coarser duties OF citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens Of defending and
maintaining govt rnment, but should
preserve her uns,lllied from the allied
influences of poll: and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities OF
the sordid affairs Of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood OF the farm
is our inspiration. she Is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government Is not within wo-
mans sphere. end political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend cur clothes and burn

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man Is an entertainment; to a
farmer It is education. Let US take a
stroll through tie fair grounds and
lnger a moment ut few OF the points
OF greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you In tongues OF iron and steel and
In language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
q brief period while we live, but 1t
takes q master mind to tower into the
realm Of science and light torch OF
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave US the
sickle. the binder. the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work In every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble 1t is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work Of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back Of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men. they do no: seek publicity, yet
millions OF machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows tIIrn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

TESTING CONCRETE.
Experiments to Show the Action ~
Sea Water and Frost.


Sea Water and Frost.
One Of the largest construction com
panies In this country is making ex'
periments to determi he what Is the ac-
ton Of sea wnter and frost upon con-
crete. According to Science Conspec-
tus, the company Iaade twenty-four
concrete columns. each sixteen feet
long and sixteen inches square, re-en-
forced with iron bars near their cor
ners, and In January, 1909, immersed
them In the water at the Boston navy
yard.
At high tide the water almost entire
ly covers them, but at low tide they are
completely exposed Thus In cold
weather the columns are alternately
thawed and frozen as the tide rises
and falls. The columns are made with
various qualities Of concrete-mixed
dry, plastic and very wet-and also
with different qualities Of cement Ex-
perts are studying the effects Of the
addition Of waterproofng materials.
Clay and other substances are added
from time to time, and the effect Is OBJ
served.
Many years must elapse before 1t
will be possible to tell with certainty
what kind Of concrete Is most perma-
nent. When last examined many OF
the columns were virtually unaffected,
but others were badly eroded. The
columns that contain the largest pro-
portion of cement, mixed wet, have 30
far shown the least wear. or two col
umns made with one part Of cement to
one of sand and two Of stone the one
mixed dry was badly eroded over its
entire length, whereas the other,
which was mixed very wet, was only
slightly pitted.

throw much light upon a problem that

FEATS OF DIVERS.
Remarkable Endurance Of the Pearl
Fishers Of Torres.

Remarkable Endurance Of the Pearl
Fishers Of Torres.
The greatest depth recorded Of work
done by a diver In n suit Is 1872 feet.
This depth was reached by the Spanish
diver, Angel Erostaroe, who recovered
$4,000 in silver ingots from the wreck
Of the steamship Skyro OF Cape Finis-
terre. The sponge divers Of the Medi-
terranean work at a maximum OF 1oO
feet and the Australian pearlers at
12O feet
The greatest depths reached by div
ers without apparatus are used by the
pearl fishers of Torres, mostly Malay
ans from the smaller islands. They go
down with the aid Of stone and a
loop In the rope thereto attached which
they clutch with their toes, these Or
gans being far more prehensile than
In races normally shod. They seldom
venture to descend below fifty feet, a
depth Mt which they can remain for
two minutes. The stone enables them
to remain at the bottom while they are
sweeping the pearl oysters into bas-
ket attached to the stone. When the
diver feels that he must come up to
breathe he releases his toes from the
beckett In the rope and at once floats
to the surface.
Young and healthy Malayan divers
working oyster beds below six fathoms
make four descents an hour during
four hours in the morning and the
