The Astronomical charts of

zle 10 the average person, and while
it may not be possible TO make the
matter las plain as a pikestaf," yet
l think the little diagram / have
here drawn may be an aid to COM
prehensiOn.
The observer on the surface of
the rotating earth and the moon
in its orbit are both travelling east
ward, but the moon goes faster, and
consequently, when exactly between
the observer and the sun, will be
seen to move eastward across the
solar disk. Now. suppose that when
the moon is just beginning TO
eclipse the sun, by pushing its black
edge over the disk the point A hap
pens tc be just at sunrise; then A
will be the point on the earth's sur
face where the beginning of the
eclipse. or the first contact of the
lunar and solar disks, will first be
seen. The moon viii continue 10 al
vance, as shown by the arrow, until
il will be centrally placed over the
sun and the total phase of the
eclipse will then occur. BY this
time the point b on the earth, sit
uated west of A. will have TO come
TO the sunrise place. and according
Is at the total phase of the eclipse
will begin al sunrise. Say an hour
later the point c Will be at sunrise,
but by this time the moon Will be
Just on the point of moving off the
edge of the sun (above in diasram) 3,
and accordingly, at c, which is still
farther west of A than Is is, the end
of the eclipse will at sunrise.

shown at the top. Remember that
owing TO the smallness of the earth
compared with the distance OF the
sun the direction Of the sun from A
and from u may be regarded as
practically the same, so that almost
at the moment when a sees the sun
rising ID sees il setting. When ID,
then. is just at sunset the eclipse
begins But by the time that +. sit
uated an hour west Of ID. has been
carried 10 the sunset point the moon
has advanced centrally over the sun.
so that at + the total phase begins
at sunset. Finally consider the point
r. When that has reached sunset
the moon Will be just completing
its passage over the sun, and so at
T. the eclipse viii end at sunset.
In the central part OF the inter-
mediate region between b. where
the totality begins at sunrise, and
+. where IL ends at sunset lie the
places where the eclipse can be seen
at suitable hours and 10 advantage.
Through this region, from b to T..
runs a narrow track, called the path
OF the total eclipse, and only within
the limits Of this track viii the sun
be seen totally eclipsed. Outside
OF IL more or less of the solar disk
will be covered in proportion as the
observer is near 10 or far from the
edges OF the track. on June 5 the
track will cross the United States

TRACTORS TO PREPARE SOIL

The Maryland and New York state
councils of defense have been endeav-
oring TO assist in solving the farm
labor problem and increasing the pro-
duction of crops in those states by
making a limited number of tractors
available to farmers for use in COM
munities where the conditions render
ed this practicable. Last spring the
New York state council of defense
purchased q number of tractors TO be
used in blowing and preparing land for
crops. These outfits were made avail

erably increased acreage of land would
be planted to crops over the amount

PROFIT FROM MUSKRAT FARM
Animals Are Easily Kept, Become Very
Tame and Breed Well in Mar
row Quarters.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
If many Of the swamps and marsh
rats are reclaimed for agricultural pur-
poses it may be necessary TO start
''muskrat farming" in order to supply
the demand for muskrat fur, is the
opinion Of biologists Of the United
States department of agriculture. For
the present, however, sufficient num-
Der of muskrats to meet demands for
their fur are trapped from marshes
and swamps that are, for the most
part, unprotected, millions of skins be-
ing taken each year. So long as the
natural breeding places remain undis-
turbed and reasonable closed seasons
are maintained, the biologist say, there
is little likelihood of the numbers of
the animals being depleted. This is
because these animals multiply much
more rapidly than most other fur
bearers. With adequate protection in
the breeding season and with the pres
ent habitat available, from ten to
twelve million pelts can be taken in
North America annually without deple-
ton of the supply.
The practicability of muskrat farm
ing already has been demonstrated.
The animals are easily kept, become
very tame, and breed we'll in narrow
quarters. Under present economic con-
ditions, however; keeping muskrats on
preserves is more practicable than
keeping them in restricted quarters.
The former plan is in remunerative
operation in the Chesapeake Bay re-
gion. In Dorchester county, Nd, marsh
land formerly considered almost use
less, and now used as muskrat pre-
serves, is worth more, measured bt
actual income, than cultivated lands
in the same vicinity. The owner of
one 1,300-acre tract of marsh, took in
two seasons-1909 and 1910-more
than 10000 pelts which sold for more
than $4,000.

The results thus far have proven so

to continue the Use of the tractors in
the preparation of land for spring

In addition TO meeting an emergency
the use of the tractors has resulted In
the purchase of a number of them by
individual farmers and groups of farm

Sample Of Beans Unfit for Planting
Purposes.

against these losses regardless of the
weather conditions. The understood,
shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans
do not terminate we'll and their remov-
al will help to secure a uniform stand.
No chances should be taken with the
1918 crop. Only the very best seed
available should be used.
Test termination.
termination tests should be made TO
determine what percentage of the seed
will grow. Follow the method COM
monty employed for testing the ger
mination of corn. The seeds may be
laid between moist blotters or folds of
cloth placed in shallow dish, COW
cred with plate and kept In warm
ROOM or they may be planted in sand
or soil.
If the termination is poor, the fact
must be taken into account when de-
Gliding upon the rate Of planting, in or
der to insure a good stand. 1t is very
important that seed be tested this
year, since early frosts in the fall of
1917 prevented the crop from matur-
ing properly in some of the principal
bean-growing sections of the country.
A failure TO do so may result in a
poor stand and much reduced yield.

SALT CORN TO RETARD HEAT

Owing TO the large amount OF soft

Good Method Outlined.

prepared by the United States Depart

Bean anthracnose and blight are
carried over from year to year in the
seed. The most effective method to
reduce the amount of disease, accord
ing TO the United States department of
agriculture, is by Manipulating the
seed very carefully before planting.
This will eliminate most of the spot
ted, discolored, shriveled, understood,
and cracked beans, and does great
deal toward insuring uniform stand.
A termination test of the seed will in
dicate whether a good stand is likely
to result. This work should be done
during the winter months when work
is slack and before the spring rush
begins.
