EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE
Explanation of Seeming Phe-

Why Wheel, az II Revolves, Seems to
Rotate Observation-Disclosures That
Has Puzzled Many Is Really
Simple Matter.

Every person who has gone to the
movies has probably noticed when
there is picture thrown on the screen
which involves the rotation of a wheel
having spokes, such as those on a bug
gy or an automobile. that as the wheel
first starts to rotate il appears to re-
volve In unison with the rest of the
picture, but as it gains speed it sud-
denly appears to rotate backward,
rapidly at first; then 1T slowly stops
turning. although the vehicle gains in
speed. 1t then seems to rotate forward
slowly, but not with the speed of the
rest Of the vehicle. The film manu-
facturers have not been able to elimi.
nate this unfortunate illusion. Many
explanations have been heard. but
they seldom approach the right one
The moving picture is based on the
fact that the retina of the eye retains
the vision for a small fraction of a.
second. A moving object seen on the
screen in reality is series OF pictures
projected with such rapidity that the
rctina of the eye still has the vision of
one projection when the next appears
Thus the picture appears to move. In
the case of a revolving wheel the eye
follows the spokes To make the ex-

GOOD RULES FOR MARKETING
Every Farmer Growing Small Grains
Should Have Tanning MilI-Refuse
Good for Stock.

Prices of all farm products are
now very remunerative. Grain of
all kinds is not as high as formerly,
yet prices are fairly profitable: there
is good foreign and home market
for wheat, corn and oats, with a
prospect OF further advance in price
before the new crop can be harvested.
Every farmer growing wheat and corn
for market should have a good fam
ming mill. Wheat as it comes from
the thresher usually has considerable
cookie, garlic and other weed seeds
and also many small and shriveled
grains of wheat. This refuse when
ground makes excellent feed for stock,
but is not fit for market. Run your
wheat through the fan once or twice
and aim to get the best price; it will
pay handsomely. Shelled corn needs
cleaning before being shipped. Hay
and fodder are high
There has been a great rush of half
fed cattle, sheep and hogs to mar
ket. Those who have the feed and

slaughter will no doubt get well paid.
While the feeding OF cattle in the
eastern states is not as profitable as
in the West, yet taking one year with
another, the careful farmer can get
very fair prices for the corn and fod-
der fed-and has in addition many
loads OF rich manure, which. when
properly applied to the land, will keep
up the productiveness of his farm.
We have followed this old method
and find many advantages in it, the
most important one-giving steady
and remunerative employment to the
help throughout the year, says writer
in Baltimore American. If you have re-
liable help, pay them well and hold
on to them. Each farmer must exer-
else his own judgment when to sell
AS a rule it is best to sell when a
fair price can be had.

FINISH HOGS WITHOUT CORN
Oregon Farmer Used Sorghum and
katir for Summer Pasture-Pius
Clean Up Wheat Fields.

Hogs can be raised and finished
without corn. What corn is doing for
the hog in the middle West, wheat and
barley ard kafir corn are doing in the
Northwest.
A farmer in Oregon used sorghum
and kafir for summer pasture and fed
the matured kafir for fattening In
three tests, he claimed that 100 bush
els of kafir seed equaled So, 81 and

cal gains Oh to his hogs.
II the wheat-growing districts it
is getting to be the practice to let
the pigs clean up fields of poor wheat
and eat the leavings from threshing
machines. IN poor wheat years, it
has been found more profitable to let
the hogs harvest the grain than to
harvest it by machinery and feed it
TO the porkers afterwards.
Only a short time ago an eastern
Oregon farmer topped the market with
two carloads of hogs fattened on the
waste of a 700-acre field of wheat

TIME TO BREED SWINE

gust Seldom Is Profitable.

proaches-Wean the Pigs at
Abouy Eight Weeks.

The best months for breeding swine
are April, July or August. A litter OF
pigs obtained later than August has
much to contend with and seldom
proves profitable. 1t is not good pol
icy, however, to throw anything away.
II you should at any time have a late
litter leave them with the SOW, feed
both her and them with warm, stimu-
lating food and you can by so doing
have good pork, with which to meet
the market when that article is at
oyerscarce and high prices, conse-
quently profitable.
The period of CESSATION in the SOW
varies. The most usual period during
which she carries her young is four
lunar months, or 16 weeks, OF about
113 days.
The run of filters, as to numbers. is
from eight to II pigs, though they
sometimes exceed the maximum num-
Der named. The SOW, however, can
not give nourishment to more pigs
than she has teats; and as the number
Of teats is Il, when a thirteenth pig
is Uttered one of the 13 does not fare
very well, as he or she has to wait
until someone of the more fortunate
brothers or sisters shall have had their
fill. The sufferer under such condi-
tons is, of course, the smallest and
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1916-02-18

weakest. A too numerous litter is
generally understood and weakly and
seldom or never profitable. A litter
not exceeding ten will usually be
found to turn out most advantageously.
So long as the SOW is carrying her
young feed her abundantly, and in
crease the quantity until parturition
approaches within a week or so, when
it is well to diminish both the guam
tity and the quality, lest the acquisi
tion of fat should be productive of
danger; but while she is giving suck
the SOW cannot be fed too well. The
pigs may be weaned at eight weeks,
removing them for that purpose from
the SOW. They should be fed well,
frequently, abundantly and sufficiently
not more-Cn moist, nutritious
foods, and particular attention should
be paid to their Judgment. A warm,
dry comfortable bed is of fully as
much consequence as feeding, if not
even more.

FACTORS IN PRODUCING MILK
Not Entirely Dependent on Amount of
Feed ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Should
Grow Some Clover.

Every dairyman should grow as
large acreage of clover as possible,
both for feeding and as a means Of i'm
proving the crop producing resources
Of his soil.
Too frequently dairymen have the
idea in mind that milk production is
directly dependent upon the feed con-
sumed and the more feed that can
be got into the COWS, the more
milk there will be produced. This is
not altogether the correct view of the
proposition. There are ether factors
involved in maximum milk produc-
ton, other than feeding a properly
balanced raticn, that must be taken
into account. Large consumption or
feed does not necessarily result in q
heavy milk production. Every dairy
cow has inherited tendencies. These
tendencies must be developed and en-
couraged by proper handling and feed
ing.
Very frequently good COWS are in
jured from overlooking, the caretaker
believing that in order to increase
the milk flow. more feed must b got
into the animals. There is a limit
to every good dairy cows profitable
consumption, and when this limit has
been reached every precaution should
be taken 70 preserve the health of the
individual and also to maintain her at
a high level OF production.
