ders Therein.

We look today on the things Of a
century. a millennium, ago. Light trav-
cling at the rate of 10000 miles a
second requires more than four years
to come from the nearest star, perhaps
thousands and tens Of thousands OF
years from the farthest. Hence 10
every case we see not what Is. but
what was.
Thousands Of nebulae have been dis.
covered in the heavens. The spiral
pattern of some few nebulae has long
been confirmation Of the theory that
they are the real beginners of n solar
system. But there has recently come
in much evidence Of the spiral charac-
ter of other nebulae, that the cOnclu-
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are In a state of rotation, and
are hence supplying the centrifugal
force to throw off the rings which roll
themselves up into planets revolving
about central suns.
When opportunity is given to look
directly down upon a nebulae there re-
suits startling evidence of its being
In rotation. There Is no other way Of
explaining Its remarkable details Of
structure. Some look like the propel-
Ter blades of a mOtorbOat /; some are ac-
tually caught in the act of throwing off
rings, which are seen ccndensing at
certain centers, rolling themselves into
planets, hencefOrth to travel around
their suns. The great nebulae in An
dromeda gives striking evidence that 1t
is working out another and a greater
solar system than our own.
In short, 1t seems that in studying
the nebulae we are being admitted to
the very workshop of the universe. and
are permitted to watch the actual pro-
cess of turning out worlds. Nothing
in the heavens is better fitted to I'LL the
very soul with awe. AS in the case Of
the fixed stars" our lives are too
brief, too feeble our eyes, to detect the
actual motion.-Frederick C~ampbell's

HONEY BEE IS NOT
OF VICIOUS NATURE
Little Insect Is Not Troublesome
When Carefully Handled
Hints for Beginner.

To the beginning b%eekeeper, his first
attempt to open the hive and handle
the combs and bees may be beset with
some difficulties, but In time this be-
comes the most fascinating part of
Bookkeeping. Leonard Haseman of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture would
have the beginner study the bees, their
habits, nature, likes and dislikes, and
then accustom himself to their ways.
The honey bee Is not a vicious crea-
ture, and II given anything like the
consideration it deserves 1t will not
fight.
Careless or nervous handling will
start trouble in any bee colony. A veil
should be worn to protect the face.
Cool smoke should be used sparingly
at the entrance and under the cover as
1t is being gently raised. Smoke may
be used to induce the workers to iii

BADeER-UsEFUL IN DESTROYING RODENTS.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The plains marmot, or prairie dog,
Is widely distributed on the plains east
Of the Rocky mountains, from northern
Mexico almost to the Canadian border,
Several other forms occupy the noun
tain valleys and parks westward. All
live in thickly populated colonies, or
towns" and subsist on vegetation.
They often take fully half the pastur-
age on the ranges and greatly reduce
the carrying capacity for live stock.
Several Western states have attempted
to provide for the determination of
prairie dogs through legislation en-
%actmentS; and in some of them, no.
tably Kansas, the pest has greatly de-
creased. Within the national forests
settlers have complained of inability to
cope with the animals, because their
lands when freed from prairie dogs
are reinfested from the surrounding
government lands. For this reason
and for range Improvement the depart
ment Of agriculture has undertaken
systematic determination work within
the forests and has already succeeded
in freeing large areas of these animals.
Trapping is too slow a method Of ex-
terminating prairie dogs, and fumiga-
ton is too expensive. AS in the case
Of ground squirrels, %strychnine has
proved to be the most satisfactory poi
son Oats of the best. quality obtain
able should be used as bait. 1t has
been found that prairie dogs take this
grain readily, wen when green food Is
abundant. Wheat is well adapted for
winter poisoning, and in the South,
where heavy oats are rarely obtain
able, milo maize or feterita is an ex-
cellent substitute.
Mix thoroughly I ounce Of powdered
%strychnine (alkaloid) and 1 ounce of
common baking soda (bicarbonate).
Dissolve 1 heaping tablespoonful Of
dry laundry starch in a little cold wa

their honey stOmachs with honey. In
this condition they are less liable to
sting. Pinching bees between the
fingers invites trouble as it Is their
privilege and nature to resent such
careless treatment. The warm part Of
the day when the workers are actively
gathering nectar or pollen is the best
time to handle the colony, for at such
times there are fewer bees in the hive
and those present are more docile. The
brood chamber should not be opened
when the weather is cold, If it can be
avoided, for the queen and the brood
may become chilled.
These are a few of the precautions
which the beginning beekeeper in par
ticular should keep In mind. A care
full study of the bee and its life and
habits and a little effort to adjust ones
actions to those of the bees will soon
make beekeeping both an interesting
and profitable pursuit. Every farmer
should produce his own supply of
honey by keeping and properly car
ing for a few stands of bees.

CONTROLLING POTATO
BEETLE BY SPRAYING
Results of Field Work Conducted
at Tidewater, Virginia, Dur.
ing Season of 1914

A report recently received from the
Virginia station contains a general
summary Of the results of field work
on the control Of the Colorado potato
beetle conducted in Tidewater, Vir-
ginia, during the season of 1914. The
results indicate that for the farmer
who grows five acres or more of pota-
toes bordeaux mixture a e SOY, to-
gether with a~rsenate Of lead paste
from four to six pounds, and n pound
of paris green to so gallons of mixture
has not yet been surpassed as a spray
for potatoes by any of the proprietary
insecticides now In use either from the
standpoint Of efficiency or economy.
1t is thought that the most economical
and efficient results In spraying under
Tidewater conditions may be obtained
through the application Of paris green
and lime dust when the first green
shoots are showing, followed as soon
rs the plants are from four to eight
inches high by some liquid spray, pref
erably that above mentioned. This
should be applied at least every ten
days.

ter and add it to three-fourths pint of
boiling water. Boil and stir until a
thin, clear paste is formed. Slowly
sift the mixture of s~trychnine and soda
into the starch paste, stirring constant
~ to form a smooth, creamy mass.
Add one-fOurth pint of heavy corn
sirup and l tablespoonful of glycerin,
and stir. Add One-tenth ounce Of sac
charine, and again stir thoroughly.
Pour this mixture while still hot over
10 quarts of clean oats, and mix until
all the grain is coated.
If alkaloid %strychnine Is not avail
able, the sulphate may be used, either
powdered or in crystals, but it is neces-
sary to vary the formula. Dissolve the
%strychnine in the boiling water before
adding the. cold starch solution. After
the poisoned starch paste is clear, stir
in the soda very slowly. Afterwards
add the strip, glycerin and saccha-
rlne as in the above directions and mix
with the grain.
For mixing small quantities an Ordi-
nary metal washtub is convenient. For
large quantities a tight, smooth box
may be used, and the mixing done with
a hoe or spade.
Each quart Of the prepared grain is
sufficient to treat about fifty prairie
dog burrows. Scatter the grain on
clean, hard ground near the mounds or
burrows, on loose soil or In
holes. With reasonable care, cattle,
sheep, or other live stock on the range
will not be endangered.
This poison is effective at any sea-
son when prairie dogs are active, but,
on the whole, early spring or Il time Of
drought, when green food is scarce, is
preferred for poison operations. In the
South, or wherever the animals do not
hibernate, winter poisoning is recon-
mended. The cost of complete exter-
mination of the animals, including
labor, need not exceed four or five
cents an acre.

Unrelated Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have not much In
common bOtanically with their more
familiar namesakes. They have long
been cultivated as food in tropical and
s%ubtropical countries, and were actu-
ally introduced into England at an
earlier date than the common potato.
The two tubers were often confound-
ed by writers of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, but the sweet
potato won more popularity than its
rival. STEPPED In wine or made into
a sweetmeat, it was regarded as an
excellent ~invigorator. Swedish and
agreeable to the taste, its flesh-form-
ing qualities are considered equal at
least to those of the common potato,
