storms on earth. Sunspots are low,
not high. They all are depressions
below the suns surface.
So. Prof. Larkin advises that poor
mortals on the earth may calm all
their fears, despite Prof. Porta's cry
of calamity. To sum up his observa-
tions, he says the planets viii not
be anywhere near their common
straight line in December, and if they
should be, and originate huge spots
on the sun, and the spots and adjacent
explosions produce disturbances on
the earth and in its atmosphere, then
the earth will be far and away from
their central line of concentrated pull
or center of gravitation.
Nothing Brand New.
That there will be an unusual
grouping of the planets is not dis
puted, but all league of planets, all
pulling in unison is nothing brand
new. Such groupings are constantly
forming and breaking as the planets
pursue their separate paths about the
sun. The only startling things about
this conjunction is its unusual COM
PASCAL the planets except the earth
will be included in it, says one writer
on astronomy. He goes on to say:
According to the theories advanc- ]
ed by some astronomers, such a
league of worlds, all pulling together
on one spot on the sun may render
the sun unstable and liable to erupt
great clouds of flame. 1t is a well

VALUES OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
Judged From Economy and Nour-

Since the high cost of living is still
a problem and since New York is one
Of the two foremost dairy states of
the union, the workers in dairying and
home economics at the state college at
Ithaca, N. Y, are calling renewed at
tention to the relative cheapness and
high food values of dairy products.
To eat these products Is to increase
the prosperity Of the state and to
decrease the drain on the pocket
book, because, the folks at Ithaca say,
there is double advantage to the
New York housewife, from the view
point of economy and of nOurishment,
If she makes a larger use of them In
the family diet.
Not only do these foods contain the
growth-promoting substances needed
by children, but they are among the
cheapest foods of animal origin in re-
spect to protein and lime content.
Whole milk, skim-milk, cottage cheese
and American cheddar, or common
"store" cheese, are good cheap foods
and the workers at Cornell advocate
their use.

SUCCESS IN SHEEP BUSINESS
Health Is Of Primary Importance and
Internal Parasites Should Be
Guarded Against.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In any system of continuous farm
sheep raising the health question is Of
primary Importance. This question is
chiefly one Of internal parasites, and
of these the stomach worm is the most
widely distributed and the most seri-
GUS. Fortunately, the trouble Is en-
tirely susceptible of practical control,
and the methods Of prevention are
exactly in line with the practices that
result in most economical production.
1t Is possible, though doubtful, that
the permanent farm flock can be main
tanned in maximum health when
grazed entirely on permanent grass
pastures. A system Of division of
grass land into sufficient parts to
allow frequent long periods without
sheep and use of longer grass for cat
tie will assist materially. Such a
plan, combined with occasional use
of medicine to prevent too serious In
lection, may prove to be practical.
The basis of success in the farm
sheep business rs in the frequency of
changing to pastures which have not
had any opportunity to become in
tested with stomach worms by older
sheep. These frequent changes are
particularly necessary during the stay
Of the young lambs upon the farm.
The older sheep are less susceptible
to the effects of the infection, though
danger Of their being injured thereby
Is not to be overlooked. The plan Of
frequent changes to fresh feed can be
adapted advantageously to the most
economical systems of using high
priced land in the rotation Of crops to
produce feed and forage for other
kinds of live stock.

TREATMENT FOR CANE FRUITS
AS Soon as Fruiting Season Is Over
Old Canes Should Be Pruned
Out and Burned

Cane fruits, including raspberries,
blackberries and dewberries, growing
under normal conditions, produce
strong, vigorous shoots from the
crowns early in the spring, says V. r.
Gardner of the University of Missouri
college of agriculture. These become
the fruiting canes the following year.
When they get to be about two and
One-half to three feet high they should
have their terminals pinChed back an
inch or two to stimulate the formation
of lateral or branch shoots. This
makes a more compact bush that is
less subject to winter injury, and
that, under ordinary circumstances, Is
more productive. The cane fruit plan
tation should be gone over several
times, pinchlng back each time the
shoots that have reached a height of
two and one-half or three feet since
they were gone over before. The lat
erals should then be allowed to grow
MS long rs they will, no heading back
being afforded them until the begin
ming of the following season, when
'hey may be shortened to q length of
- to IS inches.
IF for any reason the new shoots Of
the cane fruits have been allowed to
become four to six feet tall without
pinching, they should not be headed
back during the summer Such late
heading would be liable to force the
production of laterals that would not
mature well before winter, and that
consequently would be more subject
to winter injury.
AS soon as the fruiting season is
over the old canes that have borne
fruit should be pruned out, carried off
the patch or field and burned. Many
growers neglect to remove these old
canes until the following spring; but it
is important that they be removed
promptly. If left during the summer
and fall months, they harbOr insects
and diseases that spread to the new
growth, decrease the next years crop
and shorten the life of the plantation.
AS matter Of fact, the best and most
effective way to deal with the insect
and disease problem in the cane fruit
plantation is to cut out and burn the
OLD canes Immediately after each fruit
ing season. They have to be removed
