BERLIN. July 24.-Christmas Island
a little patch of land in the Indian
ocean which is distinguished chiefly
by its pretty name. will be busy
place for a few minutes next Septem-
ber 20. and from this activity may
como many startling announcements
Of a scientific mature.
Astronomers have calculated that
Christmas Island will be one of the
few spots on this earth over which
the sun will be totally eclipsed Sep
tember 20 for a full six minutes by
the clock. Science, which computes
time by such vast periods as light
years." is preparing. however. to
make quite a fuss over this insignifi-
cant six minutes.
Germans on Way.
A German scientific expedition.
headed by DIR. Erwin Freundlich-
Finley of Potsdam University. is now
on the way to Christmas Island with
a large pumber of delicate instru-
ments by which 1t hopes to make a
thorough test of the Einstein theory
of relativity. If Jupiter Pluvius with
holds his rain clouds they expect to
succeed, but II the sky is overcast
their long journey will have been in
vain.
Accompanying DR.. Freundlich-Fin-
ley are DR.. Joseph Hopmann of Bonn
University, Prof. August Kopff of
Heidelberg and DR.. F. Voute of the
University of Batavia. The expedi-
tion has been arranged by the Inter-
national Astronomical Society, sup
ported by Dutch and German capital
lists.
Transportation Promised.
A 6 erman steamship company has
agretal to furnish the transportation
free of charge and wealthy German
and Dutch citizens will bear all other
expenses. Prof. Einstein himself may
decide later to join the party.
The equipment to be used in the
tests CONSISTS of two of the most mod
ern Photographic telescopes. one of
which is $50 meters long and the
other $50 meters. Both are capable
of taking detailed photographs at ex-
tremelY long focal distances. The
plates used will be fifty centimeters
square Rnd the time of exposure will
range lsrom ten to ninety seconds.
Eight ar ten photographs will be
taken during the brief six minutes.
The test of the Einstein theory of
light curvature decided upon by this
expedition is possible only when the
sun is completely eclipsed. Thus. it's
practicability is sharply defined.
Several, American. Australian and
English expeditions also are headed
for Christmas Island, where they plan
to make various tests and astronomi-
cal observations in connection with
the six-mfnute eclipse.

PROPER BALANCE TO MANURE
Some Farmers Try Little Experiment
on Small Piece Of Land to
Find Condition.

It is q pretty good idea, and one fol-
lowed by a lot Of hard-headed, prac-
tical farmers, to balance the barnyard
manure a little with either rock or
acid phosphate. Barnyard manure Is
q balanced ration when 1t comes to
plant foods for some crops. That Is
why some farmers try little expert
ment on a half acre or so Of ground
just to see what their land lacks.
About forty or fifty pounds Of acid
phosphate per ton Of manure, or 400
to 500 pounds per acre, may be applied
to small part Of the field, and the
results will show whether 1t will pay
to put the fertilizer on the whole field.
1t makes the acid phosphate easy to
apply simply to spread 1t evenly on
the top of each spreader load Of
manure so that each ton Of the
manure will carry with It the above
mentioned amount Of the phosphate.

BEEKEEPING OFFERS
BIG OPPORTUNITIES
Clover Region Particularly Adapt
., ed to Industry.
Few Places In Which II ls Not Possl-
BILE to Keep Honey Gatherers
With Good Profit Under
Proper Management.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
The clover region Of the United
States offers splendid opportunities for
beekeeping. These possibilities, to-
gether with the requirements neces-
sary for the succass Of the undertake
Ing. are discussed In a recent publica-
ton Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 1915,
Beekeeping In the Glover Region, by
u. +. Phillips and George S. Demuth
Of the division Of Bee-Culture Investi-
cations. While not all parts Of the
clover region are equally good, there
are few places, 1t is pointed out, In
which 1t is not possible to keep bees
with profit under proper management.
The typical clover region occupies
the northeastern part Of the United
States, extending west into Minnesota
and south approximately to the Ohio
river and Mason and Dixon's line. 1t
appears on the west coast In Wash
ington and Oregon. In both east and
west the region extends into Canada.

! (By w. @. Kaiser. Agricultural Engineer)
The construction of concrete trough
like that shown In the drawing Is
not difficult task and any farmer can
build It,
A watering trough should be placed
on well drained ground, because under
the best Of conditions the livestock Will
In time make mud holes unless plat
form Is built, or the holes around the
trough are filed In as soon as they
are made. Sometimes 1t Is advisable
to put the trough on small knoll In
order that the water will quickly
drain away.
The ground under the trough should
not only be drained but also leveled
and packed.
Outside Form Of Trough.
The outside forms Of the trough are
made of one inch boards and by 4
inch pieces as shown in the drawing.
After these forms have been securely
braced, the concrete can be deposited
In the bottom to half the depth Of the
floor. Reinforcement consisting Of Il
inch round rods are then placed on
the partly constructed floor. These
rods are bent In ~" shape so that
the ends will project up into the sides
and reinforce the walls. All the rods
are bent to the proper shape before
any concrete work is started, so that
they can be quickly put in and the re-
mainder of the concrete floor placed
without delay or making any Joints.
The inside form which has been
made previous to mixing any Of the
concrete is then quickly lowered In
proper place and fastened to the out
side forms with clamps as shown In
the drawing. Speed is necessary In
order that the walls can quickly be
placed so there will be a strong bond
between walls and floors.
Insure Water-Ti Tightness.
In order to insure water-tightness a

mended. This means l sack of cement

some of the best portions being To-
Gated north Of the national boundary
Limited areas Of less value are found
outside these boundaries.
The opportunities for beekeeping In
this region, are not being utilized as
completely as in some other beekeep-
ing regions of the country. There are
vast areas Of the clover region not ad-
equately covered by bees, and also
many places where, because Of the
methods Of beekeeping practiced, the
beekeepers are failing to produce the
best possible crops.
Beekeeping to be profitable In this
region must be conducted with all pos
slble skill. Better methods, it Is be-
lieved, will result in greater devel-
opment Of the industry. Because Of
the presence of European foulbrood- in
some parts of the clover region, and es-
pecially because Of the superior quail
ity of the Italian race Of bees, the bee
keeper Of this region will find 1t great
ly to his advantage to keep this va
riety. Italian bees are able, under
good management, to clean out the
larvae dead Of European foulbrood.
Not all strains Of this race are equal
ly good for this purpose, and the bee
keeper should take pains to get the
best.

Longer Skirts;
Garments Loose

which are lovely to behold. There
are silk capes and silk coats and silk
hats. In fact, there is no part of the
realm of dress where silk has nos
taken the stand of being the leading
fabric and where 1t has not success
fully maintained that lead.
A long coat of heavy crepe silk has
been trimmed with monkey fur. But
more original, and to some minds
more beautiful, is the idea Of trim
ming a heavy silk material with
big. rolling collar Of chenille. This
has been well done In long cape
coat of exceptionally good line, which
lad low set draped belt at the back
and long, loose sleeves, to which was
added the cape effect that stretched
across the back. The chenille collar
had long tassels which hung down
the back when the collar was draped
about the throat.
black heavy crepe has appeared.
trimmed with silver In Chinese de-
sign, with a high collar which served
to carry out the prevalent Russian
effect. This may seem like too much
of combination Of Ideas, but the
ultimate effect was charming.
Chinese embroidery is appearing on
many of the modern gowns in unex-
pected ways. For instance, there was
a frock Of soft serge. 1t had around
the sleeves a band of vermilion and
yellow Chinese embroidery near the
elbows. From these bands hung long
and loose sleeve panels which Topped
about. Across the front Of the bodice
and supporting long front skirt
panel there was another band of the
same Chinese embroidery, and these
little spots Of red did a great deal
toward giving snap to the dress.
The short coat-cape deserves men,
women who, In past seasons, would
have scorned capes as being out of
their style. 1t Is astonishing how all
sorts and conditions have taken to
the cape this season. Most of the
smarter short capes are loose and
flowing at the back, and In the front
they cross or fasten into the belt in
some way or other. A short coat that
can be worn with little dresses or
over the separate skirt has a straight
and loose back and front with very
wide, hanging sleeves and invisible
fastenings. This Is made in light
weight duvetyn that Is called summer
duvetyn and in dull almond green.
Over plaid silk dress 1t looks par
ticularly well, for this l.: combina-
tion that is much favored by the
French, and that is bound to achieve
much success here.
cloaks Things Of Beauty.
The summer cloaks, made regard
less of any dresses designed to go
with them, are unlike any of their
predecessors. They are things of
beauty, but at the same time intend
ed as protection from wind and
weather. Certain voluminous gray
blue coats suggest the cloaks of an
Italian officer, or there Is the cape

ALFALFA SEEDED IN SUMMER
Considerable Success Attained at Uni
verslty Of Illinois In Rotation
With Corn.

Considerable success has been at
tanned in seeding alfalfa on the dairy
farm at the University of Illinois
where rotation of corn for sllage
and alfalfa for hay are the principal
crops. Fall wheat is sown after the
corn is cut for the silo. The next year
the wheat stubble is plowed as early
as possible and very thorough seed
bed prepared. The alfalfa Is seeded
as soon as there Is sufficient rain.
About the 2Sth of September wheat is
drilled. This gives q crop Of wheat
and two cuttings Of alfalfa the nsxt
year.

feet Of pebbles or crushed rock.
The aggregates should be free from
sticks, soil or foreign material. Only
enough clean water should be used
In mixing to make concrete Of jelly
like consistency.
AS the concrete Is placed 1t should
be spaded next to the forms In order
TO force the larger rocks back into the
mass and let the mortar work out
against the forms, resulting In a
smooth, dense surface.
AS soon as the concrete has hard
ened sufficiently to be self-sustaining,
the inside form Is removed and the
interior Of the trough given a cement
wash made by mixing cement and wa
ter until 1t Is about as thick as cream.
This wash can be put on with an or
binary brush or broom. The wash will
make smooth surface and insure
water-tightness.
The inside of the trough is given a
slope outward toward the top. This Is
important because If water freezes In
the tank, the pressure will lift the
Ice and thereby prevent the formation
of crack in the walls.
For q trough of the size shown In
