The establishment of such a senti- tween cow manure, taken directly In London, says St James Gazette. As this is a reductio ad absurdam, we ment, and the practical work it has from the stable to the field in the have to look for the limit, which does, in fact, exist, to the pnnciple that as one moves westward the time gets ear- lier, and as one moves eastward gets later. Before the circumnavigation of the globe there was no difficulty. When on a Monday the sun stood over London, it was Monday noon in London As the sun moved (to use the popular phiase) westward, and stood a little later over Dublin, it became Monday noon In Dublin, and so on until he reached the western limit of the known world. When the sun passed over that limit that was the end of noon for that Monday, and nobody-- knew what the sun wras doing until he reappeared on the eastern limit of the known world, bringing wiih him Tuesday morning. It is evident, therefore, that while the sun was in the unknowm abyss between west and east, he dropped the attribute of making the time at all places directly under his rays Monday noon and took to himself the attribute of making it Tuesday noon. As the confines of the world were pushed further eastward and westward, respectively, the unknown abyss w'here this change of attribute had to he made got narrower and narrower, until, when the globe was circumnavigated, the place of change became simply a line. This line exists and is the place where the days begin As the sun crosses this remar1 able spot the time bouts onward jumps twenty-fou- r from noon on one day to noon the next day. The situation of the line has been located quite fortuitously namely, by the circumstance whether any given place was first reached by civilized man journeying from the east or from the west The discoverer brought with him the almanac from whence he came, and if he came from the West the time in the new country would be later v and if he came from the east it would be earlier than the time in the country that he came from. America was reached by civilized man voyaging westward, and China by man traveling eastward, and the result is that the line which marks where the days begin lies between these two, iu the Pacific ocean, and, instead of being a straight line, zigzags about, dividing Islands which happened to be discovered from the east from those which happened to be discovered from the west. There must still he many islands m that ocean where it is not yet decided to which side of the line they belong, and where if one were to be put down one would not know whether it were today, tomorrow or yesterday. There must also be many islands there which, never having been permanently occupied by civilized people, change their day from time to time, so that a ship calling there from China might arrive on Tuesday, while another ship calling at the same time from America would arrive on Monday. There must also be people living so near this line that by going a few miles they can leave today and get into tomorrow, or by going back can find yesterday. How convenient for troublesome appointments. Many other curious considerations occur to one, but I have said enough, I think, to show what every one does not, perhaps realize that there Is a place in the world where the days begin. the soil m developing the reaouirts 1 1 pio-tevie- d agu-cultui- l ore-ha- gh-li- Elo-so- al one-ha- ke lf one-fo- ui th.ee-fouivn- dif-feie- nt ten-acr- a t r 9 V 1 ' a ' V -- A J s'' ViV: .

The prove the reverse. Numerous varieties rience to manage these forests in a manner calculated to develop the high-eperfection, and yield an annual crop of timber which can be cut to advantage. On this account Dr. Fernow, who for many years was chief of the forestry division of the department of agriculture, has earnestly advocated the establishment of a college of forestry, and his efforts have at last been rewarded. Such a school has recently been made a department of Cornell University, and Dr. Ternow has been installed as director thereof. The demonstration school forest will consist of 30,000 acres of the Adirondack Reservation, and here many of the methods where the practiced In Germany, science is most highly developed, will be taught. Under this system the reckless destruction of the kings of the forest which have been maturing for hundreds of years will be discouraged, and Instead younger trees- will be cut which can be spared with benefit to those remaining, and leave the forest practically Intact. at - A Living: on Five Acre. We get many remarkable letters from luose who are just starting In poultry raising, and some of them contain curious examples of misinformation or of the writers having gone oft on a wrong scent and being hopelessly lost so far as knowing where they are at is concerned, says Farm Poultry. Here Is a letter which has just eome to us from Georgia: I bought a dozen Barred P. Rock hens and two cocks about a month ago. I Intend Increasing my stock by raising chlcktfns from these until I have plan cf the experiment is to apply both kinds of manure to land intended for corn, plow under at a shallow depth, and follow the corn with wheat and clover, without any fuither manuring. Four duplicate plots are treated with each kind of manure, applied at the rate cf eight tons per acre, the treatment for each pair of plots being exactly alike in all other respects. The result thus far ia that the corn of 1897 gave an increase of thirteen bushels per ace from the yard manuie against sixtee l bushels from the stall manure, and the wheat crop following has given an Increase of ten bushels per acre for the yard manure, against eleven bushels from the stall manure. cents Valun ? the corn at thirty-thre- e and fbe wheat at eighty cents per bushel and the straw and stover at three dollars per ton, the increase from the yard manure in the two crops has amounted to fifteen dollars per acre, and that from the stall manure to seventeen dollars, an average of two dollars per ton for the manure, with further effect probable on succeeding crops. The experiment is not yet quite fair to the stall manure, because the latter has been taken from bulls which had but little grain, whereas the yard manure was from cows that had been much more liberally fed.

The tender, succulent roots do not unite readily with a foreign scion Even if a union were secured, the propensity of the stock to sprout would at once exert itself, resulting soon in a dense thicket. The piopagation of the species U easily accomplished by means of root cuttings or seeds, prefeiably the lat- ter. The hardiness of the sand plum la its native state, its productiveness, and the excellent quality of its fruit are among its most promising characteristics. By cultivation and proper breeding, the size, keeping and shipping qualities of this plum will, it 1b thought, be strengthened. The Experiment Station has now in operation extensive experiments along these line. During the past season a large collection of data and of pits for planting has been made from the sand plum districts of the state. When Vegetables Were Scarce. According to Hume, there were not till the termination of Henry VIII.s reign either salads, carrots, turnips or other edible roots produced in England. He adds that such of these vegetables a small proportion and only by the wealthy as were used were Imported from Holland and Flanders, and that Queen Catherine, when she wanted a salad, could only get one by despatching a messenger thither on purpose. The effice never has to seek the man on pay day. Its a mile on land, but knot at sea. |
