THE STARRY SKIES IN MARCH By PROFESSOR of University of Pennsylvania

March is the first of the spring months. The Milky Way, carrying with it and ahead of it the brilliant winter consultations, now ap- breaches the western horizon in the early evening to remain in an i'm conspicuous position near the hor- izon for several months. The Plei- ades and Hyades are low in the west. Their disappearance in the suns rays marks the beginning of spring and their appearance in the early evening in the east indicates the autumn season. Most of the bright stars are concentrated in the south western quarters of the sky. There are twice as many bright stars in this quarter as on the remainder of the sky. It may be noted that there is a long strip of the sky extending from south to north just east of the Milky Way in which very few stars are seen.
 The three very bright stars-Sirius at A, Procyon at B, and Castor at C. are interesting double stars. The first to be discovered was Castor. about 1750. This was among the earliest discoveries of double stars. The first was Mizar. at D in Ursa Major, discovered in 1850; the second was Gamma Arietis. at k, in 1865, and the third was Alpha Centauri in 1889. Alpha Centauri is star which is not visible here. It is the star nearest to the sun. so far as we know. It is the finest of double stars with respect to the brightness of the stars, as one of the first and the other of the second magnitude. One star moves about the other in q revolution of St years. It has been observed to make nearly there com plete revolutions since the discovery. About 1750 Bradley noted that Cas- tor was double, also Gamma Vir- ginis, at F, 61 Cygni and Beta Cygni The stars in Cygnus are not now vis- ible. Any of these stars can be seen double with small telescopes.
 Castor is the finest double star to be seen here, if only the brightness of the components is considered. The stars are of second and thlrd ma gnitudes. It was the first double star in which one star was found to be moving about the other. This was noticed in 1903. However, in spite of the long period during which it has been observed. We know little about the period required for

States no part of the eclipse will be seen. The eclipse has little scientific value.
 This is the time of the year when we might expect an eclipse of the moon, but none occurs. The sun ap- pears to move over the sky in a path which We call the ecliptic. The eclip- tic is marked on Figure 1. The moon appears to move over the sky in a circular path which lies near the ecliptic and which crosses it in two points. These paths are shown ip Figure ?. They cross at A and B Since the moon moves around the earth in month it passes the point A once a month. The sun appears to move around it's paths once year so that it passes the point A only once year. Hence there are but two times in the year that the earth, sun and moon are nearly in line-that IS, when the sun and moon are both near A or B. The eclipse of the sun on March 3S occurs by reason of the fact that the sun is near the direction of the point A and the moon in pass ing the point A comes between us and the sun. When the sun is in the direction of A the earths shadow lies in the direction of the opposite point B. The moon passed this place two weeks earlier, March 14. and passes it again April 10. On March 14 the moon passes the shadow a lit- tie bit too far to the right of B to have an eclipse as the moon is a little above the shadow. By April 10 when the moon again passes B the earths shadow is to the left of so far that the moon when it passes it lies below the shadow and no eclipse occurs. Thus the moon escapes eclipse at B and there is no chance of an eclipse until the sun reaches P and the shadow is near six months later.
 The sun crosses the equator, mark ing the beginning of spring. March 21. 4:59 a. n- eastern standard time.

a complete revolution except that it is between 200 and 1000 years.
 Although both Sirius and Procyon are very bright stars and carefully observed by many observers, they were not seen to be double stars un- til recent years In 1884 variations in the motion of Sirius were detected and in 1S40 a similar variation was noticed in Procyon. These variations were asserted to be due to the pres ence of unseen companions. A dis cussion of the variation enabled astronomers to predict the position in which the companions must be seen. the path, mass and period Of the stars. The companion to Sirius was found in 1882 with a new tele- scope larger than those existing be- fore. It has now made little more than one revolution. The companion of Procyon was not found until 1S96. with the great telescope of the Lack Observatory. It is extremely diff cult to see. This companion revolvcs in about 40 years. It is a remarkable fact that the bright component of Sirius is twice as massive as the dainter' but gives out more than 5000 times as much light. The mass of the companion of Pracyon is about one fourth of that of the sun, which
 
 smallest mass known. Both Sirius and Procyon are among the stars nearest to you. Sirius is 4s times as bright as the sun and Procyon 10 times as large.
 The Planets
 The positions of the bright plan cts Jupiter and Saturn are now such that they can be shown on our map. The planets are not far apart in the constellation Virgo The satellites of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn make them the most interesting planets. Saturn becomes an evening star March 25. After that time it will be less than 1S0 degrees east of the sun. Observers should recall that this is the time when the zodiacal light is seen best. This is a column of faint light exetnding upward along the ec- liptic toward the Pleiades from the western horizon. It must be observed on a clear. dark night just after twi- light.
 An annular eclipse of the sun oc- CUTS on March eS. The path in which the eclipse is seen as an annular eclipse crosses South America and Africa. The eclipse can be seen as partial eclipse over these coti- nents and also over Europe. A very minute portion of the eclipse can be seen under poor conditions from Florida Elsewhere in the United

AMONG THE NEWCOMERS.
Ben Bosold Has Faith in Alfalfa Pos
sibilities Here.

Alfalfa is seen as one of the most
important crops of Stevens county
during the coming years by Ben Bos-
old living five miles southwest of
Morris and one of the most progress
sive farmers of this section. Mr. Bos-
old came to Stevens county two
years ago because he figured that he
could raise just as much if not more
on land here that cost a third less
than that in central Iowa where he
was formerly located. His expecta-
lions have been realized since com
ing, according to himself, and he says
that he is raising so per cent more
than he was in Iowa in accordance
with the respective prices of land in
the two places.
Mr.. Bosold had pure bred ideas in
his head when he came and they are
still there with the exception of those
that have already been worked out
which are along the Poland China
route. He keeps Poland China hogs
of the big type and last winter kept
over IA brood sows and now has some
40 little porkers around the place
despite the fact that most of them
came early with the resultant loss

SUCCESSFUL CLUB WEEK
HELD AT A. c. SCHOOL
Children Participate in Club Projects
and Hear Interesting Talks on
Agricultural Subjects.

The Boys and Girls Club Week
Central School of Agriculture last
Saturday was one of the most, sue
cessful Junior short course ever
held at the Farm School. One hun
dred and thirty boys and girls from
all over west central Minnesota, prac-
tically all of whom had distinguished
themselves in one of the various club
projects, participated in a week of
intensive training for club work and
took part in the many splendid pro-
grams which made up the activities
of the week. Each day one or more
club teams put on club demonstra-
lions. Practically all of these teams
were district or state champion club
teams
Demonstrations were put on by
the bread baking and garment MAX
ing teams of Herman, the cake bak-
ing and garment marking teams of
Alberta, the garment making team Of
of Beardsley and baby beef girls
team of Hancock.
On Friday afternoon corn judg-
ing and live stock judging contest
was participated in by all of the boys
attending the short course. The win
ners in each contest will be given

following the creation of sufficient
pasture.
Barley and oats form the principal
crop on Mr.. Bosold's 200 acre farm
with a plot of from 80 to 40 acres
of corn. This gives him plenty OF
feed for his stock with a little to
