NEW ATOMS EVERY MINUTE.
Old Idea That They Were lmmutabIe
and Exchanging Has Been
Proved to Be Wronq.

The birth of an atom is just as i'm
portant an event as the birth Of a
--ycJA,n.If net, more so, for every-
thing in the universe is composed Of
atoms, even the worlds themselves.
Not long ago atoms were thought to be
immutable and unchanging, but the
amazing truth has just been disclosed
that new atoms are born every minute,
just as among the faraway stars new
worlds are being born, says writer
in the Edinburgh Review.
Already certain kinds of atoms can
be produced in the laboratory, and
such bushes would become immense
created in the same way. This is not
an idle dream, as might be thought,
for already it has been discovered
that all atoms are composed of the
same kind of material-positivel
electrified particles and minute mega
tive electric charges. All that re-
mains is to learn how to put these
quantities together in the proper
amounts, just as chemists now put the
proper atoms together and produce
though ofttimes under monumental
conditions = synthetic rubber, silk,
steel, artificial dyes and the many 9TH
er miracles of the laboratory.
To understand how certain atoms
have already been produced in the
laboratory it is necessary to remem-
Der that there are about ninety diff
ferent kinds Of atoms, corresponding
to the elements of which all other
substances are made, and that all
atoms contain equal amounts of posi-
tive and negative electricity. Just as
solar systems consist of planets re-
volving about a central sun and are
held together by the force of gravita-
ticn, so do atoms consist of negative
electrical charges, revolving around a
central, positively charged nucleus,
held together by the forces of cleo
trical attraction.

love this girl, am sure of it, and, be-
sides, love nature, too, so we ought
to get along. Now l must be going,

We want to discuss old college days"
He left, and for a time the man
with silver hair smoked and silently
watched the fireplace flames; and two
or three tears crept into his eyes.
1t was Paul's wedding day, and he
was on his way to claim his bride from
the forest. His father was with
him.
II said my say, and you've made
your choice, son." he said. "It is for
you to decide. And of course Pm go
ing to be present when my son is mar
ried, even if it should be in the cen
ter Of the African jungles."
So they packed travelling bags and
took a train for the wilderness. At
Cedar Creek they disembarked and set
out on foot through a path in the
woods.
"Does smell rather good" admitted
the elder man as they trudged along
inhaling ozone from the pine trees.
"It's the first time I've been in the
woods since-since that night"
Two hours walking brought them
to a clearing, where log house sent
a thin wreath Of smoke heavenward.
1t was a small hut, but it looked in
viting, an island in a sea of flowers
and vines.
'This is the place." Paul announced.
II had never seen it, but I received
good directions in my last letter." His
face was lighted up expectantly.
From the door of the hut rolnped a
laughing girl, clad in a blue blouse,
short Khaki skirt and leggings. In
the doorway behind her appeared a
tall, handsome brunette of middle
age.
Paul clasped his sweetheart in his
arms and they remained embraced for
several minutes. Suddenly the girl
broke away.
II must introduce you to mother,
and must meet your father" she said
and turned toward the hut, to stop
dead still, amazement shining from
her big bright eyes.
swell, would you look at mother!"
she cried, and Paul turned to stare
in establishment that equaled or sur
passed hers.
For Paurs father and Anne's mother
had followed the example of the young
people and were hugigng each other
tightly, while she repeated over and
over the one word, George" and he
was saying "Ethel."

Much Work for Little Result.

One of the legends of antiquity cred
its man known to Cicero with hav-
ing put the Had of Homer into a nut
shell. When the legend was 100
years old Huet, the great French
scholar tested it to amuse his pupil,
the French heir.
He took piece of firm but plant
paper, ten inches long and eight inches
wide. By writing tiny characters with
a fine pen he found that he could get
thirty verses of the Had into a line
and $50 lines to the page, 1900 verses
in all. Thus, by using both sides of
the paper. he could write $4,000 verses
on it, the number composing the Had.
The paper when folded up fitted into
a walnut shell, and so the possibility
of the feat of Cicero's friend was
proved.

Of the cow stall are calf and bull pens
also fitted with modern barn fixtures.
Between these pens and a row Of
four stock pens Is a cross aisle also
provided with a carrier system. These
stock pens have removable partitions
which allow the farmer to increase
the size at viii. Immediately to the
rear of these pens are large double
sliding doors.
The rear aisle Of the barn leads
into the adjoining shed which covers
the manure pit. The carrier track
leads to the pit. This shed Is "a feet
long and 10 feet wide.
Another Of the important features
Of this building is the yentilatlng sys-
tenn. This consists Of foul-air hues.
installed at various intervals around
the barn to draw of the foul air Mod
ern ventllators on the roof provide a
continual source Of fresh air which
is essential for healthy animals and
profitable production. Lightning rods
placed at intervals along the roof pro-
tect the barn against the fire menace.
Fortified with a dairy barn Of this
type. a farmer can consider himself
very fortunate. It will be an lnvalu-
able asset because It accomplishes
two important results, increased milk
production and increased satisfaction
among the hired help, which obviously
increases their efficiency.

MAKING CANVASS TO
OBTAIN CITY TRADE
District Of Good incomes Offers
Splendid Field.
Success Depends In Large Measure on
Personality OF Person Selecting
Good Understanding IL usu-
ally Effected.

Producers sometimes obtain custo-
mers by making a personal canvass
among city dwellers say marketing
specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The neigh
borhoOd selected should be one which
is not well supplied with markets or
grocery stores handling farm produce.
A suburban district of homes with
good incomes offers a good field in
which to solicit trade. Success in
making personal canvass depends
in large measure on the personality
of the person making the canvass He
should be neatly dressed, should state
his business clearly and concisely,
showing the prospective customer why
direct marketing would be advantage
GUS and. II possible, he should have
samples of the produce that can be
furnished. AS this method of obtain
Ing customers permits the consumer to
see and talk with the producer, a bet
ter understanding is usually effected
than Il they had never seen each 9TH
err.
A man living few miles from BaltI-
more, who raised poultry, found II inn
practicable to market his poultry
products personally and was not salts
fed with the price he could obtain
locally. He made a personal canvass
of a few homes in a desirable loca-
tion in Baltimore and obtained four
customers to whom he began sending
eggs by parcel post. Within a few
weeks they had recommended the pro-
ducer to sufficient number of custo-
mers to purchase all the eggs and
poultry the producer could supply.
Customers were retained by supplying
good quality products and by strict at.
tention to business relations.

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS

Washington Farmers by AppIi-
cation of Sulphur.

Farmers In Oregon and Washington
have greatly increased their alfalfa
crops by the application Of sulphur
This practice is based upon the re-
suits of investigations by the expert
ment stations In these states as well
as upon demonstrations Of the use OF
sulphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents in co-opera-
tIon with specialists from the agricul-
tural college. In Deschute county last
year 2S5 tons Of sulphur were used.
at a total cost OF little more than
$4,000. and the increased yield, reck-

It Does Not Pay Farmer to Tan

Apparently 1t doesn't pay the farm

OF chemistry. United States Depart

leather-making experiments upon the
scale to which the average farmer

specialists say that the results OBJ

made In individual tanneries, but the
results are too uncertain TO give re-
liable profits.
The work was taken up by the de-
