MOWERS AND HAY RAKEs

Everyone who investigates the adj
svantages controlled in the John
Deere mowers and rakes. are con-
WINGED that for durability and sim
plicity and. ease of operation they
stand alone in the hay making ma

One of the big features of this
mower is the 21-point clutch which
insures quick action with the knife
when the machine is thrown into
gear. A simple adjustment keeps
the teeth engaged their full depth

vice. Among the hay making ma.
chinery purchasers this week are Vic.

before home, as a permanent institu.

gress OF civilization the first day of
the bright new year was observed as
a day OF feasting and of prayer. In
ages long gone by, indeed, there
were gods OF the New Year--benef.
cent divinities who watched careful
ly over the destinies of mankind and
plotted the paths their feet should
tread during the twelve months to
come.
New Years even then was a day
of plans and preparations; Of resolu.
tions and Of dreams.
Today New Years symbolizes more
than anything else the things realiz.
ed during the twelve months past
and the things to be accomplished
during the twelve months to come.

ESTIMATING AGE OF EARTH
Biologists Have Differed Greatly a.
to the Time II Has Been In
Existence.

As long ago as 1860 John Phillips.
the geologist, estimated that the time
required for the deposition of the stra-
titled rocks lay between 3S,000,0 900 and
100000 years. This was probably
the only estimate prior TO Kelvin's
epoch-making paper of 1852. Since
that time many estimates have Deen
made. varying all the way from 17,o00..
900 years to 100000 years. Kelvin
was the first to discuss the age OF the
esrth considered as a cooling body.
In 1893 Clarence King introduced the
important criterion Of tidal stability
and reached the conclusion that a..
100000 represented the conditions.
This result was adopted by Kelvin in
1897, and then he placed the limits as
100000 and 100000 years. Only
Sir George Darwin has discussed the
age Of the earth from q purely astro-
nomical point Of view. From his theory
an estimate Of more than 100000
years. which for long time stood be-
tween groups of higher and lower flg.
ures. J. Jolly was the first to base
estimates Of the age Of the earth. in
1899. on the sodium contained in the
ocean. Adopting the hypothesis that
the sodium content Of the ocean is
derived at q constant rate from that
of the rocks, he arrived at an age Of
100000 or 90,000,oO0 years, and In
creased this by 100000 in 1900. In
1909 Mr.. Sollas made q searching in.
quiry into this subject and placed the
age OF the ocean at between 10000, 900
and 150. 000,0 years.

Ruskin, when at deaths door, en-

simple designs, tucked here and there
and with tiny srills that fold softly
about the neck, or lend grace to the
sleeve. Chantilly, that charming
lace of web like texture in almost too
delicate a weave to be worn Is also
used to fashion many gorgeous crea'
tons. Shadow lace, too, has its part
in the making of the more elaborate
dresses in combination with soft tai.

Turkey Welcomed In Every Country
Where the People Appreciate

In every corner Of the globe almost.

his wild state, have sought to cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and pastures new.
He is not 80 constructed. He is not

On the contrary. he is timid and much
afraid of things he does not under

a pronounced success. He flies pom
derously, almost painfully. and with
great effort and only when much
frightened. His flight can be sus.

what the wild turkey lacks as an avi.

He can outrun race horse, espe-
cially In his own native forest, where
underground and bushes seem but to
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even II he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand Of
man, first to Spain. then to other Medi.
terranean countries. to northern Eu.
