British Scientist Scouts at Lowell's Idea of Artificial Canals. Three photographs accompanying Lowell's account of his observation of the planet Mars, show with strik ing clearness the various canals hitherto unknown In Europe, The volution of these canals co'nfirmed Lowell in his theory of the presence on the planet of intelligent life. But at the Royal Observatory at ( Greenwich, A. S. Eddlngton, F. R. S., chief ansistant astronomer royal, said he was not prepared yet to accept the American savant's theory as final. "I can't quite see," said Eddlngton, "that Lowell has proved his case His wonderful photographs show the evolution he predicted on Mars and Its canals, but we are inclined here to accept the theory If Prof. Picker ing of Harvard, that these canals are not artificial, tit the result of the planet's natural shrinkage. We are inclined to believe Mars is played ont; Its career is finished.

Well, Just as many as the ground will permit of, rather than as few as possible. The original prepara tlon of the land and the planting is much mere than haif the work and expense up to the time of harvest. It is poor economy after having gone thus far, to skimp in the cultivation. The cost of cultivating a field of corn or potatoes is not more than 60 or 68 cents per acre. If the planting has been done the Increased yield from each cultivation will much more than pay the cost. Keep down the weeds and let in the air to the plant roots. Indiana Farmer. The Egg Eating Habit. The egg eating habit is a very com mon and costly one to those who keep poultry and Is also very troublesome, It can generally be traced to the break ing of an egg in the nest or elsewhere. When one acquires the habit it Is rap Idly taught to all the flock, causing complete demoralization. It may be prevented by having darkened nest3 and soft nesting material so that the eggs are not liable to break, and by the use of china ne3t eggs. Give the hens at all times sufficient shell pro ducing material, such as oyster or clam shells and mica crystal grit and this trouble will not be so apt to oc cur. Weekly Witness. '-' Cleaning Rusty Steel. The best way to thoroughly remove rust from tools is to send them to th. grinder, or some one who has a wheel. This gets rid of rust much more ef fectively than the slow and laborious method of rubbing with emery paper. The stone, emery and leather wheels remove the rust and polish the steel with much less labor. If this cannot be done, the work of removal by rub bing with an emery paper will be greatly facilitated by thoroughly soak ing for some time in paraffin oil. Fcr rough and ready work in partly clean ing tools nothing will act more quick ly than gasoline rubbed on several times at short intervals. A. R. J., In American Cultivator. Curing Sheep Skins. This Is sent In "by one who knows." Take a spoonful ot alum and two of saltpetre; pulverize and mix well together, then sprinkle the pow der on the flesh side of the skin and lay the two powdered sides together, leaving the wool outside. Then fold the skin up as tight as you can, and put it in a dry place. In two or three days, or as soon as it is dry, take It down and open and scrape the flesh side with a blunt knife until it is clean and stipple. This completes the pro cess, and makes an excellent saddle cover. Other skins which it Is desired to cure with the hair on may be treat ed in the same manner. If it is de sired to use the skin for a rug, it should be well washed in soap suds, rinsed in running water, and let get partly dry, then rubbed together until it is soft and dry. American Cultivator. Grade Up the Cattle. The farmer who wants to improve his cattle and make more money out of them can, by keeping a pure bred bull in a very few years grade up his common cattle and make them worth at least one-third more than they are. It only takes six cattle generations of breeding to make all pure breeds in this way. This is what pure blood at the bead of cattle herds will do. And what Is more three or four years of sy,ch breeding will so increase the value of the herd as to cover twice over the original cost of such a bull, to say nothing of the saving in food while do ing to. Growing and fattening five good grade steers per year will in crease the Income more than one hun dred dollars annually, when compared with the marketing of common ones. This is the reason why a pure bred bull Is regarded as more than "half the herd," as we often hear it said by those who are familiar with the matter of cattle growing. Indiana Farmer. . Meal for Milch Cows. How much cotton-seed meal can be fed dally to milch cows without de teriorating the butter? According to Dr. Allen, of the office of Experiment Stations, Department of Agriculture, northern dairymen Incline to the be lief that not to exceed two pounds should be fed daily. "It is the general experience," said Dr. Allen, "that cotton-seed meal produces a hard butter and in some Instances a smell amoun of such feed Is given simply to secure this result. The Mississippi Experi ment Station has made some experi ments with large feedings of cotton seed meal which are interesting, and they show that liberal rations of cotton-seed can be fed with no bad re sults. The station herd was fed daily for a period of two weeks on a ra tion composed of 10 pound3 of cow pea hay, 20 pounds of corn silage, 4 pounds of wheat- bran, 5 pounds of cotton-seed meal, and the milk dur ing the last two days of this period was made into butter. In the two weeks following this 6 pounds of com and cob meal ws3 substituted for the cotton-seed and (the butter made as before. The butter was sent to Et Louis where it was scored as follows, on a scale of 100: Butter from cotton seed meal 95 1-2 points; butter from whole cotton-seed 96 points; butter from corn and cob meal 96 points. "The finding of the station was that, as there was practically no difference In the score the quality of the butter was not injured by feeding as much as 6 pounds of cotton seed meal or 6 pounds of cotton seed. She test also showed that this cotton-seed butter melted at 00.1 degrees F, while that from cows fed on cotton-seed melt ed at 96.8 degrees 7., thus showing the former to be a better shipping but ter." Hastening the Moult. Tho natural season for the casting of the feathers is during August and September, but to" some extent the process can be hastened by artificial means. If the summer is wet and cold, the moulting period Is frequently pro tracted, with the result that new feath ers are not formed ere the winter ueglns, which has a very serious effect upon the laying. By some It Is thought advisable, therefore, to try to farce the moult, so that the change of featheis can take place during fine, warm weather, which materially assists in the production of winter eggs. The plan is to feed the fowls on a very low diet for a few weeks. The low feeding should commence during July and continue for four or five weeks in fact, until the feathers are observed to be falling. It is essential to ex ercise the greatest care when following this plea, as it is easy to do the birds a considerable amount of harm, event ually retarding the moulting period. As soon as the first feather is seen to drop out, the low diet must be stopped and more nutritious foods supplied In more generous quantities. It is doubt ful whether it really accomplishes as much good as Is often claimed, be cause the birds become too thin, and are unable to form the new feathers In a satisfactory manner. Hatching of ducklings may continue throughout this month, as It is net yet too late to hatch a quickly-maturing strain of- ducks for breeding purposes next winter. Such birds will require to be very generously fed upon nu tritive foods in order to encourage growth as much as possible. Geese and turkeys may also still be hatched, but it is getting late. Large size is so very important a factor In determining the price at Christmas that it is ad vantageous to get the bird3 out as early as possible in the season, so as to give them plenty of time in which to grow. The youngsters should be gUen plenty of exercise, especially the geese, as only in this manner is it pos sible to build up a strong and healthy frame upon which the fie3h can after wards be laid. American Cultivator. Cruelty to Horses. In the matter of cruelty to or ne glect of horses, it is not, unfortunate ly the obvious troubles that really cause the most discomfort and suffer ing, but the generally overlooked lit tle things and seemingly inconsequent ial details that really make or mar the only real pleasures which the pa tient creature is usually fated to en joy comfort of body and ease of mind. Curiously enough, it is not the lame horse (that is, the animal not too disabled to still perform his usual tasks) who suffers most, for the very limp or shortness of stride and stiff ness of gait, which call out attention to his trouble, are an evidence -not ot pain, but of the creature's precaution to prevent suffering Just as in our own case we limp and "go short" not because corn or bunion troubles us, but so that they will not. This point is one always ignored by those well-meaning but Impracticable people who, lacking experience and or dinary "horse sense," are governed en tirely by the eye in making their deci sions upon the condition, of horses, and their fitness for work, and strain at the gnat of an Inequality of gait, while countenancing for years, iu the care and training of their own carriage horses, the most pernicious practices, as destructive to health and durability as to comfort and ordinary ease as universal as Inexcusable. Of such there are but too many who busy themselves with other people's af fairs In the administration of our varl out societies for the prevention of cruelly to animals organizations which, worthy in themselves of the highest praise and most liberal sup port, prove almost without exception. so ill managed and so impractical as to discourage the philanthropist and disgust the practical horseman, who an but view their abortive proceedings with mingled feelings of contempt and amusement. Every animal lover hopes for the time when the management of such bodies shall be placed in the bands of men competent to decide and alert to administer, and not left to the indiffer ent, the inert and the inapt in matters which concern animal care and man agement F.

GLASGOW 8TREET CARS. Points or Contrast and Comparison with American Cars.. Municipal ownership of street rail roads, which all good Americans have been taught to think an altogether wrong and unworkable plan, seems In Glasgow to be a complete success. The conditions, however, are so very dit ferent from those existing in New York that comparison Is almost out of tho question. Iu Glasgow politics do not enter Into the matter at all. Graft has not to be taken account of, and, in fact, all the arrangements that make the street car system in Glasgow so admirable, would be impossible to apply in American cities. The cars are all double-deckers, some with cov ered tops and others without these last providing an almost Ideal mode of seeing the city. The fares (no trans fers) paid In so different a way from ours, are about a cent a mile; so that you tell the green uniformed conductor your destination and he charges yon accordingly. For long distances this Is more expensive than our way, but as Glasgow Is crowded into a compar atively small district it makes a great saving in going about in the business quarter of the town. One thing that strikes a New Yorker as superfluous Is the giving of a small ticket to show that the passenger has paid his fare. It, of course, deprives one of the excit ing disputes as to whether or not you have paid your fare, and it also stops those free rides that on the New York, cars are so numerous, but it litters the floor of the car with discarded tickets, which Is perhaps not so great a draw, back after all, as they are the only dirt the Glasgow cars have, and one or two flaws are always needed, if only to keep general interest up. The adver tisements are, oddly enough, all on the outside of the car, and as the cars are never crowded and the conductors aro spiritless creatures who never shout or push, an atmosphere of restfulness really felt In these foreign cars. At the crowded hours the cars fol low so closely on one another that it is one continuous train, and if in a few of the cars (the ones that have strong est spring and that the makers felt were equal to an extra cram) some half dozen extra passengers are al lowed to stand, every one exclaims and says: "This Is a terrible Jam, isn't It?" The cars go at a very good speed, are not upholstered In dusty carpet, but have not uncomfortable hardwood seats, and though the alight ing passengers are not allowed to get off before the others crowd on, per haps this hardly matters either, as the need to "step lively" Is never felt, and every one bumps into every one else In an extremely cheerful way. What to all masculine nilnds Is highly Im portant Is that the car lines pay very well Indeed, while feminine passengers are cheered by the knowledge that neither their clothes nor their dispo sitions will be completely ruined by a half hour's ride on a tram. American women have never been called unprogresslve they have been called other things, but so far this one word has not been applied to them now let them look to their laurels. The women of Scotland are ahead ot them in one respect. They board tho cars when they are moving, and moving at a goodly speed, too. The cars, which stop at red posts and nowhere else, will consent to slow dgwn to half speed If people signal, and then wom en with bundles hop on and women with babies In their arms swing them selves off, and the poor American girl who has never reached this stage of recklessness, Is left blinking amaxedly at the fast disappearing car. New York Evening Sun. : Comfort for Gout Victims. Sufferers from gout need not ab stain from any of their favorite foods with the idea of humoring their enemy was the effect of a statement made by Dr. Hale White,, a London physician, at the medical congress at Exeter. He contended that there was not an atom of evidence that any particular food influences chronic gout. Physicians sometimes forbade suf ferers to eat proteids, including, of course, meat, but how was it, he asked that gout was less common while the consumption ot meat had Increased enormously? As to alcohol, how was It that teetotal persons suffered from cirrhosis of the liver that could not be distinguished from that ascribed to alcohol? London Cable to the New York Sun. ' Pettus And His Bible. The late Senator Pettus of Alabama was a "forty-niner," going overland to California in the early days and en gaging In placer mining. He took with him on that long and tedious Journey three books, the Bible, Shakespeare and Burns' poems. He said of them at one time not lon since: "I read the Bible from cover to cover; I read the side notes; I read the captions of the chapters; I learned great parts of it by heart, and I haven't forgotten them yet. I learned many of Burns' poems by heart and much of Shakespeare in the same way, too." Such reading of these three books was an education In- itself. It is not likely that many miners engaged in that search '.'or wealth spent their leisure In as profit able a way. Indianapolis Star. Value Of Advertising.

Th'i is a quaint tradition about how the belief In the man In the moon originated that Is worth retell ing. Like so many of these beliefs, It began way back In Bible times, and in quite another dress. By many nations the old man Is sup posed to be the one who "first maue his appearance In the Book of Num bers (Chapter v., verBe 32.) Then he was found by the children of Israel gathering sticks on the Sabbath da. He was taken before Moses and con demned to death. He was taken later outside the camp and stoned until be died. One would think that was punishment enough even for so awful a crime, but superstition took him In hand at that point and con signed him to the moon; where, with a bunch of sticks on his tired old back, he was, destined to climb for ever up the shining hill and never reach the top. The story goes that his faithful dog was permitted to share his fate, and If you look care fully when the night is clear and dark you will see the pair tolling away upon their endless climb. Tho face of the old man also grew out of the oldtime tradition, but the figures are quite plain if one puts on the classes of Imagination. Washington Star.
