NORWAY.

It Is curious fact that attempts
were made about the same time in the
congress Of the United States and in
the storthing Of Norway to muZzle the
press in the interest of the war. 1t is
no less interesting that so far the re-
suit has been the same. A member
of the cabinet, Minister of Justice
Urbye, asked for a very drastic law
against the press. The bill was de-
feated by vote Of 46 to 80. A much
milder bill was also rejected, the vote
this time being G. to %. Mr.. Urbye
had to leave the cabinet in a hurry.
The next day the Aftenposten contain
ed the following comment: I'm all
parts Of the assembly it was realized
that the limit had been reached. A
minister of justice who wants to
abolish the liberty Of the press in our
country in the year 1917 is an ante
diluvian phenomenon. He does not be-
long to the throbbinS life of our day.
He must now be transferred to private
life. He ought to be thankful that he
is not placed in the historical museum
among other entombed relics. The
idea Of Russia getting liberty of the
press in March and Norway losing it
in April! The press is too strong for
Mr.. Urbye. For in this case the press
is the same thing as the people of
Norway, which will not permit itself
to be muZzled by any Mr. Urbye. The
press is the Norwegian opinion. which
is not satisfied with the secret traffic
carried on by the government. Mr..
Urbye supposed that the press was the
same thing as a dozen faces around
the tables of the reporters. This was
his great folly. Therefore his fate was
bound to be a sad one"
It is proposed to put up first class
modern hospital at Bodo at cost of
ut least $4c0,C00. The reader should
bear in mind that this place is near
the polar circle.
The storthing has resolved to in
crease the tax on war profits to 80
per cent. The socialist members de-
clared that unless something effective
was done t1 check the high cost of
living there would be a revolution.
The government was authorized to
take up a loan of $21 100000 at home
or abroad.

ment of Agriculture)
Farmers can make the cultivation
OF corn most effective and go a long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting good crop by getting the
start Of weeds. When these rObber
plants are small, before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
can be destroyed by light stirring of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul-
tivation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor,
but it cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many corn
roots. y
If corn land has been properly pre-
pared deep cultivation is not advisable.
1t should never be given close to the
plants after they are a foot high, as
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
To get an early start of the weeds,
In many sections or in seasons when
seed terminates slowly, it is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
to cultivate the field before corn comes
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and it is poor man
agement to allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
1y cultivation is beneficial in prevent
ing the loss Of moisture by evapora-
ton and also in Fastening the warm
ing of the soil. The loss of soil mois-
ture by evaporation continues much
longer from compact, damp surface
than from a loose, dry surface, and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and at high
attitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently as important as the con-
servation of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted in evaporating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivating after heavy rains is a
good practice. To be most effective
the cultivating should be done as soon
as the surface is dry enough to work

IDLE ACRE is UNPR0FITABLE
1t Soil Is Not Required to Produce
Some Useful Crop Injurious
Weeds Are ENCOURAGED.

In some way or other every acre on
the farm should be compelled to do it's
duty according to it's ability. A loafer
is wholly Improbable and is very like
~ to get into mischief; and loafng
acres are no exception. If they are
not required to produce some useful
crop they will produce weeds, and the
seeds will be scattered by some means
or other over the entire farm. Don't
have any loafers about your house or
your barns, and don't have any loafing
acres on your farm.

SERIOUS ENEMY OF ALFALFA
Weeds, Including Perennial Grasses
Likely to Prove Disastrous to
Thrifty Growth.

When alfalfa is once started under
favorable soil conditions, weeds, in.
Guiding perennial grasses, will likely
prove its most dangerous enemy. This
is one reason why sod land is not rec
commended for this crop.
On account of the danger from
weeds it is usually best to precede the
alfalfa for ope or TIVE years with 4

 Ask the average man or boy, "Khy is such glorious freedom of movement pessiEle on ice and on Aothing else?" and the chances are ten to one that you wil get the an- swer, Because the ice is SO smooth"
 But is that the reasm? Dr. Joly jn . leetmre befSne the Royal Dub Mn society pointed cut that polished glass k much smoother than rough ened Ice, vet we can skate on the Ice, whereas sa the glass it would be impossible. He proved by inter esting experiments hhat We must seek further for an explanation. His solution, arrived at only after the lnost careful investigation, is that We owe the ability to skate to the fact that ice melts under pres sure
 The part of the skate that bears on tue ice presents 9 very narrow surface, and on this surface comes the whole weight of the body. That pressure causes the ice to melt in- Simultaneously, and the thin film of water between the blade of the skate and the ice serves the same purpose as the film of oil thst we run between the working parts of machimery-at greatly reduces the friction Immediately after the skater passes on the water film so- iidifes again into ice, ready for the next skater who comes along; hemee Dr. Joly concludes that we really skate not on ice, but on water.
 Nature gives us in this way a 1ubricataon far and axay ahead of anything man has Aeen able to make.
 Hare you ever noticed that the colder it is the harder it IS to skate2
 That is because the ice melts less readily under pressure. Dr. Jo1y apparently did not know that skat- ing rinks gre now in existence where ice is not used. Instead We have surface composed largely of salt. If you know anything of the nature of salt, however, you will find that his theory holAs good in that case as it does in the case of ice, and in neither case is skating made possible by the slnoothness of the surface.-Youth's Companion

4 Heat Phenonenon.

A workman in the observatory at Toulouse invited attention to a singular phenomenon. A bar of iron is taken by one end and the other end H plunged into a fire, heating 1t highly, but not so much that the hand cannot retain its hold. The heated end is then plunged into a pail of cold water Immedi- Ately the other end becomes SO hot that 1t is impossible to hold it. This phenomenon, familiar to worknnen, Is ascribed by them to some repel- lent action thev suppose the sudden cold exerts upon the heat contained in the iron, which is thus driven to the opposite extremity.
