Cardinal Marini to Preside.

The honor of presiding over the COM
mission of cardinals, DR.. Palmleri has
been informed. will be bestowed upon
Cardinal Nicola Marini, one. of the new
cardinals created in the last consistory,
who has devoted many years to sclen-
tifc research and to the cause OF a
reunion of Christianity. The interest
OF the Pope in the problem of CHRISTIAN
unity is said to have been intensified
by the recent progress of the Worlu
congress. initiated by the American
Episcopal Church.
THE new Pope" said DR.. Palmneri,
summarizing the information received
from Rome, has taken considerable
part in the efforts of neutral nations
TO establish peace among nations, ana
the Vatican's efforts have been sug-
gested not only by Humanitarian
spirit. but by longing for Christian
unity and ending the conflict which
long since has divided Christian
churches. Efforts of Leo Mi for car
rying out the reunion of Christianity
were abruptly stopped by Plus X, who
aimed at an inner reform of the Cath
Ollie clergy and turned all his energies
TO the crushing of modernism.

One of Chief Tasks.

''One Of the most important tasks of
the new commission will be a thorough
denomination of the arguments pro and

schools assume a more favorable attitude
toward acknowledgment of the validity

FARM Work AND MACHINERY
Eloquent Statesmen Often FAN into Ex-
aggerations and Make Farm
ing Appear as Joke.

Much mischief has resulted to farm
ing as an occupation from the exploita-
ton of the idea that machinery will do
the whole job and that future agricul-
ture win be, matter of pressing but
tons and setting wheels in motion. The
eloquent men who make and sell ma
chimes often fall into exaggerations
that are hurtful and that finally get in
to cartoons which depict farming as
mere joy ride. 1t is silly and futile, Of
course, and it should mislead no one.
The trouble is that too much of it is
believed and the thing soaks into the
general consciousness.
Good farming is work, hard work. It
is not going to be anything else. HUI
man genius will continue to help in
minor improvements, but the big,
eternal plan goes on. The soil is full
of miracles, but there is no miracle
that will enable man to use the soil
profitably without labor.
When the ablest scholars of the
world set about to revise the Bible

changed the nineteenth verse of the

view to improving the day species.
The nymphaea carpensis and it's kin
dred, commonly found in gardens,
lacks great deal of being the typical
species.
They are crosses between the blue
and the rose, which have come largely
from insect pollination. They possibly
also represent trace of the Egyptian
nymphaea caerulea, the colors of which
range from deep blue to the darkest
pink.
BY examining the underside of the
young leaves one may tell the cOlors of
lilies to be planted out. The color
shown under the young leaves gener-
ally gives some idea Of the ultimate
color of the flowers.
The work at the Missouri botanical
garden has resulted in producing two
new varieties. One is the nymphaea
castaliafiora, q pink k-fowered hybrid,
which has large cup-shaped flower,
well-petaled and said to be much the
superior of anything of its type. Its
flowers measure eight inches in dia-
meter and sometimes as many as half
a dozen flowers are to be found at one
| time.
! The nymphaea Mrs. Edward Whit
aker, il size, shape and length of
blooming period is said to be superior
to the old day bloomeps. In August the
flowers measure as much as ten inches
in diameter. They are light blue and
well-petaled. The individual flowers
last from four to six days and on the
third day bleach to almost pure
white.

rel is swung on a shaft which is
operated by a driving gear. The driv-
ing gear is worked by turning ham
die. A hook at the bottom of the bar
rel holds it stationary while the top is
being opened and it is being filed.
Then the top is fastened on tight, the
hook released, and the handle turned.
By means of the gearing the barrel is
spun around rapidly, and in few min
utes the churning is done better than
it could have been done In the old

YIELDS OF SWEET POTATOES
Loss of About Eleven Bushels Per
Acre in 1916 on Considerably
Increased Acreage.

Sweet potatoes, on a considerably
increased acreage this year, show a
yield of 919 bushels. which is about
IL bushels below last year and about
one bushel below the average. How
ever, because of increased acreage, the
total production of 67,663,OO0 bushels
is, with the exception of last years
crop of 74,295, 600 bushels, the largest
ever produced IN this country. and
much above the average of 51,117,00G
bushels.
The crop in New Jersey is 100000
bushels, compared with 3,565, 900 bush
els produced in 1915. In Virginia the
outturn is 100000 bushels compared
with 3,740,000 last year.
The crop is strikingly better also in
North Carolina, and does not vary
greatly from last year in the remain
ing states. In quality, sweet potatoes
are reported at S7.7, much below the
fine quality of 92.2 reported last year
and slightly below the average of 9S.5.

SCATTER ALL MANURE
Dan Be Distributed in Cultivated
Field to Advantage.
If Fertilizers Are Spread in Fields
and Plowed Into Soil, They Will
No Longer Give Protection
to Insect Pests.

By C. e. SANBORN, Department of En-
tomology, Oklahoma A. and M College,
StillWater.)
At this season of the year barnyard
manures and decaying waste can be
distributed in the cultivated field to a
marked advantage. Fertilizers con-
sisting Of manure and decaying straw
and hay furnish excellent harboring
places for gnats, bugs and flies that not
only menace the farm crops, but also
live stock and humanity.
If the manure and garbage are scat
tered in the open fields and plowed
into the soil they will no longer give
protection to the farm insect pests.
The value derived from increased pro-
duction on account of increased fer
tility will more than pay for the Ia
Dor. The civic improvement brought
about by clean yards and barns will
increase the value Of the premises. The
air will be purer and the disease germs
fewer, and the infection to both man
and stock reduced to minimum.
Much has already been discussed
relative to the removal Of manures and
filth for the purpose of freeing the
premises of hog cholera. Experts have

SOME PASSING NOTES

Thoroughly slaked lime may be tried
as top dressing on the lawn in the
fall and winter. Several doses, with
one pound to each thirty square feet
of lawn, give the best results.
Huckleberries promise to make up
one of the most interesting crops of
this year. They bring 15 cents a
pound.
In Maine the farmers average PIG
bushels of potatoes to the acre, while
in New York the production is only SS
bushels to the acre.
Nine-tenths of the roadsides in the
state of New York have no trees.
A western New York nurseryman
says that he has group of tulips that

clearly demonstrated that cleanliness is
one Of the best preventives for hog
cholera.
Now, if sanitary conditions are bene-
fetal to hog, such conditions are
surely good for a man. A man only
lives one life, and this life should be
one Of practice rather than experiment.
There are no grounds for supposing
that accumulation of filth and manure
can have no effect on the vitality Of a
human being living in the vicinity of it.
If man thinks that his obligations
are finished when he furnishes food
and clothing for his family he is
wrong. He should share his inteAi-
gence and demonstrate by putting sani-
tary actions into practice for family
health protection. A family well
dressed and well fed, but without
health, is no particular benefit to a
community.
Nearly all the prevalent ills of the
body are either directly or indirectly
disseminated by the housefly. The
fly cannot develop without breeding
places. Such places are generally con-
taminated with disease germs Of vari-
GUS kinds. The elimination of the
breeding places will rid the country of
the flies, and also carry many of the
germs which they commonly carry.
Scatter the manure.

HYBRID WATER LILIES
RyL. M. BENNINGTON.

There are two distinct divisions of
water lilies. The groups are the dur
aal Towering, representatives Of the
subgroups anecphya and brachyceras,
and the nocturnal Towering, which are
more commonly called night boomers.
They are the representatives of the
two lotus groups.
When the bright August days come
the flowers of the day boomers will
open between seven O'Clock in the
morning and seven o'clock in the eve
aing. If the weather is dull and cloudy,
The pretty flowers refuse to open. They
stay in their coverings waiting for the
sun to bid them go on parade before
the world.
The night bloomers are not so sulky.
They begin opening at sunset and stay
open until ten o'clock the following
day, and if the weather be cloudy and
their day fellows are loafing on the
Job, they take up the burden of orna-
mentation and refuse to go to bed at
their usual hour. They will stay open
the entire day when the sun is not in
evidence.
Many lovers of flowers consider that
the night-blooming lilies are far su-
oerior to the day species. The present
lay plants have resulted largely from
insect pollinations and number of eX-
oeriments have been conducted ut the

POINTS IN BUILDING sILos

Perpendicular and Free From
Corners and Projections.

In selecting and building a silo the
following points fundamental to it's
success should be kept in mind: To
be satisfactory silo must be alright,
perpendicular and free from corners
or projections on the inside. A round
silo, therefore. is the best type.
The doors must be tight fitting and
close together so that minimum
amount Of silage must be removed in
order to open the door. A continuous
door is, therefore, advisable.

withstand strong winds. Construct it

Tempting Nature Too Far.

A man who attempted to teach his fellows
how cheaply life can be sustained has just died
from the effects of his self-enforced starvation.
He reduced his daily allowance for food to cents
before outraged nature took vengeance on him
His example will not be followed by many, nor
will he be paid the honors that go to pioneer
or a discoverer.. Even had he succeeded in his
experiment, it would have been of little value
since what is one mans meat is another mans

for one will not do for another. Moreover, ma
ture has provided bountfuly for mans needs, and
variety in profusion to select from, each accord
ing to his taste, his fancy, or his needs. The
only difficulty in the way Of general indulgence
is that Of providing the wherewithal to over
come the obstacles man has placed in the way,
making access to the supply somewhat of
of industry or ingenuity. A rational rule for
diet is to eat what you are able to pay for, and
