tricitv both for light and power so extremely simple and inexpensive that pr, Just himself stated that his dis covery seemed to upset electrlcas science entirely.
 Financiers saw at once all kinds or possibilities in the invention, and a syndicate was hurriedly formed Tn Vienna, to purchase and develop 1t. A prominent Vienna trust lawyer, pr Felix Hitschhann, was sent to Buo- apest to arrange terms with pr. Just but instead he learned the startling story of the hoax.
 It appears that one of Dr. Just s assistants brought him first a boxed in cell with iron and carbon elec- trodes hacked in coal dust, ant demonstrated that it brought llO- volt. 2OO-candle power. haf-Watt lamp to full brilliancy. Dr. Just wa n1uch- inpressed with this and had two holes dug in his garden, In his own presence, and had placed in them two electrodes of iron and carbon, re spectively, packing both round with coal dust Tn this case. also, strone current was produced sufh- cient to light a, number of lamps.
 Next. the experiments were car rjed out before an official commission oe experts who, while showing great interest. were very sceptical. and ul- timately they asked Dr. Just to have a hole dug near the electrodes. It was then to the intense dismay of ths doctor that a large number or dry batteries of the tpye used for pocket lamps. connected together and to the carbon and iron electrodes were In- earthed. The boxed-in cell was then examined and found to have a falsc bottom. under which was battery of cells of the same type.
 Asked how it was that he had al- lowed himself to be so deceived. pr. lust replied that he had believed in the cell as he had experimented with similar arrangements of carbon ane iron electrodes in a mass of coal dust loosely piled up on table. and had actually registered pressure up to fiv' volts.
 Such an utter collapse of an cleo trics,l discovery by a scientist of tha rank and world-fame of pr. Just ; almost unparalleled. The European scientific world is amazed at the doc tors dull ability, and the Vienna f- nancial syndicate is dissolved.

WHICH WAY TO JUMP IS A SPECULATIVE
 PROBLEM

increase them in the hope that prices will stay up. 1 wonder what farmers generally win do?
 In the market quotations for pota- toes, like those for most other things, there are great variations. The pen dulum swings back and forth from high to low and from low to high Ev- cry farmer knows this, and knows that he is taking his chances when he plants his crop. It may turn out well and sell for a remunerative price. It may turn out well and yet not sell for enough to pay the cost of labor, fertilizer and seed
 The chief factor in determining what the price shall be is the relation of the supply to the demand, If Messrs. the consumers want 100000, :, producers have but 25O,00o,000 bushels to sell, then one consumer will bid against another until they have, among them, bid the price up to a dollar or more a bushel. If, however, Messrs. the producers have 800 000,- consumers want only 250, 900, 900 bush els then one consumer will say 'Why should I pay you fifty cents when Bill Jones has got to sell his at forty cents, or almost anything he can get ?' And all the other consumers will feel the same way. For which nobody planes them one little bit
 
 While market manipulation by crafty tradesmen has something to do with prices, the Fundamental matter of supply and demand is what event. ually governs. It is upon that that even the trickiest manipulations are based
 Big crop and smaller demand al- ways means low prices.
 Big demand and smaller crop al- ways means high prices.
 How is the farmer who plants in April or May to know which it is go- ing to be the following December and January?
 The only answer is that he doesn't know and can't know. He must use his best judgment, do his best guess ing and-take his chances. There are some who seem to get rattled when potatoes rule high around planting time. and rush all the tubers they've got into the ground, expecting the crop of next fall to be worth as much, per bushel, as the seed of this spring
 If all farmers do this then the crou next fall will be a huge one, bigger than the demand, and prices will drop.

 Wherefore quite a few of those who went out" of sheep last year or year before are beginning to wish they were In sheep again. Some of them are planning to start fresh. though they admit sorrowfully that it will cost them pretty penny to buy new flocks.
 Again am moved to wonder how many will yield to this alluring temp tation
 While the European war has had something to do with the increase in the prices of wool and lamb. neverthe : less the main factor in that rise. as in the potato situation. lies in the shortage of supply as compared with demand. So long as there was a fair supply of wool and of mutton buyers were able to keep the price down, to their own profit They managed so effectively and Kept it down 50 low that they drove farmers out of pro- duction. Now there is a scarcity which is not only threatening their profits but endangering their ability to do business at all Hence they are compelled to pay what would have seemed. three years ago, inordinate prices to get even reduced supplies.
 No doubt, as things are today, "there is money in sheep" once more.
 The question is how long will the improved condition last, and are enough men likely again to take up sheep-raising to swing the pendulum back to low as soon as they get fair ly going?
 Again it's matter of speculative guess-work. You don't know. I don't know, We won't any of us know. It's a "toss-up,"
 One thing is sure: there are thous- ands of acres of braimbly and scrub by pasture throughout New England which are worth more for sheep pas ture than for any other available use Sheep are great browsers and can live quite well on bushes and weeds and morning dew, once they get down to business. Dogs and foxes must be considered, as always, but those who can protect them in a measure and who have the right kinds of pasture and who have had previous experience with them ought to be able to more than pay their WHY with them, under present market conditions.
 That is, unless everybody gets wild and "goes In" for them till there is an other glut of supply.
 It's generally pretty good plan tc go slow and keep in the middle oi the road

(Wriften Specially for. The Bulletin)
 I'm wondering how many farmers will plunge" in potatoes, this season.
 For two or three years the price has been rather low 10 the producer, and many fhavegcut downftheir acreage Now. however, potatoes are way up'' and the tfarmerA who has a bin full to selltis Q lucky tchap.
 A year ago last fall one neighbor of mine had a big crop and, after much hunting for a market, at last hauledN them nine miles over a noun tain road and delivered them at forty cents a, bushel. Last fall the same neighhori sold his crop for fifty cents at the same place4and thought he was doing quite we'll Today, he could get S120 for them ats his dcor. In both casesshe told me of; his, intentions and askeM my advice. In both cases told hin that l wouldn't sham a sin gle bushel the distance he did and deliver them at sthe price he was of fered
 ''whatPwould you do?T hes e&asked.
 Keep Tenn all winter and feed 'en to the stock if osbetter price' offered" !" was my answer.
 lf he had taken my advice, a year ago last fall, he would have had to feed them to the stock. For potatoes went down, rather than up, as spring opened.
 lI ne naQ Ldken my HuVIGes iaSL Tall, he couldl have sold them now, at his door, for two and half times what he did sellethem for delivered days haul away.
 When he delivered for 40 cents a bushel, it took a good team and a man a full day for each load. He could carry forty bushels over the mountain road. He told me, himself, that 1t cost him ten cents a. bushel to deliver them, leaving his net receipts thirty cents al bushel of sixty pounds, or half-a-cent a pound, or $10 a ton of 1000 pounds.
 donEt profess to know the analyza- ble nutrient values of potatoes for stock food. But do know from many practical tests that they are worth more per ton--a good deal more than hay as a ration for milch COWS. And hay, at thel very time he was get ting $1O a ton for his potatoes, was selling for S15 ton, at the barn.

 high. They reason that 50 many rush in. urged by ruling market quotations, that the fall crop will be unusually big and fall prices unusually low.
 If all farmers did this, then the ex act opposite of their expectations would happen; the crop would be re- duced and prices, Instead of drop ping, would soar to even higher lew els.
 There you have 1t. You're between the devil and the deep sea. and neith- best way to jump.
 Either thing you do may prove un- lucky. Either thing you do may prove profitable.
 And So I'm wondering what the ma jority of my fellow farmers are doing or going to do; the big majority whose course will determine, barring accidents of season, whether next falls crop is to be big with little prices or small with big prices.
 For myself, I'm planting just the same amount as last year-to within dozen hills, as it happens. By this don't stand to get rich quick if they go tip. Nor do I stand to lose much if they tumble to zero or below. In other words, I'm playing "safe'. or as near it as one can in this farming game. But I'm not giving or suggest | AAAEs fAAAS e1SAASO e11O0A SAACAA u my neighbors.
 Some of the latter are also begin- ming to get quite anxious along the sheep line.
 For a series of years ending with 1914 or 1915 wool ruled low, mutton was hardly salab1e. and even choice spring lambs averaged no higher to the grower than fifteen or twenty years ago. All the time, too. grain fodder was creeping up in price and hay was scarce and dear. Gradually, one by one, the. sheep- growers about me were forced out of business, When it got so that a man couldn't get as much for the wool a eve sheared and the lamb bore as her feed cost him per year, even assuming that every eve had a good lamb and raised it to sew enty pounds or over, then it struck most of us that keeping sheep was not all it had been cracked up to be. As a strict matter of business, we couldn't exactly afford to pay for the privilege of keeping sheep, in order to give the butchers and wooden manu- lecturers automobiles and motor boats. But now wool is up; mutton is in demand; there is every prospect that lamb will fetch something worth while next summer and early fall |
