A Lang Job.
An English astronomer, J. Franklin
Adams, 13 said to have begun the pro
digious task of counting the stars.
Most people greatly overestimate the
number of stars to be seen on a
clear night a matter of some 4,000
but their guesses are likely to fall
as far short of the number revealed
by a telescope. Even a field glass
Increases the visible number aston
ishingly, and the big telescopes reveal
a number estimated at over G0,000,
000, while the camera reveals, appar
ently, over 100,000,000. The method
of counting Is by moving the photo
graphic plates, each covering , small
area of the heavens, across the field
of a microscope provided with a grad
uated grating so that the stars can
be counted in narrow strips Spring

Temperance In Norway.
"Tho cause of temperance is work
ing great headway in Norway. Wo
'have adopted the local option policy
with excellent results," said P. Anen
sen, a manufacturer of white paper,
from Sklcn, Norway. "Whenever the
people of a certain district or county
wish to abolish drinking houses nn
election is held at which all adult
malesin that territory are supposed
to vote. If any are absent their
votes aro counted for prohibition.
Another election cannot be held until
after five years."
AFRAID TO EAT
Gil'! Starving on Ill-Selected Food.
"Several yearB ago I was actually
starving, " writes a Me. girl, "yet
dared not ent for fear of the conse
quences. ' "I had suffered from indigestion
from overwork, irregular meals and
Improper food, until at last my
stomach became so weak I could eat
scarcely any food without great dis
tress. "Many kinds of food were tried,
all with the same discouraging ef
fects. I steadily lost health and
strength until I was but a wreck of
my former self.
"Having heard of Grape-Nuts and
its great merits, I purchased a pack
age, but with little hope that it would
help me I was so discouraged.
"I found it not only appetizing but
that I could eat it as I liked and that
It satisfied the craving for food with
out causing distress, and if I may use
tho expression, 'it filled the bill.'
' "For months Grap-Nuts was my
principal article of diet. I felt from
the very first that I had found the
right way to health and happiness,
and my anticipations were fully
realized.
"With Its continued use I regained
my usual health and strength. To
day I am well and can eat anything
I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a
part of my bill of fare." "There's a
Reason."

TURNIPS.
For early use seed of turnips
should be sown as soon as tho ground
can bo prepared. Although turnips
are frequently sown broadcast, good
results are more certain by drilling
one-half inch deep in rows one foot
apart. Indianapolis News.
BREEDING SWEET CORN.
Considerable tabular data are giv
en by the New Jersey Experiment
Station, showing the effect, as indi
cated by the composition, of breeding
sweet corn by the ear to row method.
Three plats were selected from the
first year's planting, and analyses
made of a number of ears from each
row. These ears were allowed to
ripen, and were planted in the season
of 1907. The result again Indicated
the tendency of certain individual
ears to transmit a high percentage of
sugar, and that this tendency pre
vails throughout the entire row
grown from such an car. American
Cultivator.
TOINTS IN GARDENING.
There is little danger of making
the soli too rich for a vegetable gar
den. The use of hand tools is unneces
sary in the preparation of a seed bed.
if tho Eoil is worked at the proper
time.
Tho labor of hand weeding may be
reduced to a minimum by planting in
freshly worked soil only, tilling close
to the vows early in the season and
permitting no weeds to ripen their
seed.
The use of a wheel hoe saves labor
in the care of a garden even when
much of the tillage is to be done with
a horse. Weekly Witness.
TOMATO PLANTS.
Short, stocky tomato plants are the
best, but many amateur gardeners
do not seem to know this. The tall
est tomato plants often command the
highest price, but this is no evidence
that they are the best. Stockiness is
secured by free ventilation, rather
low temperature, a moderate amount
of water and ample space for each
plant. When tho plants aro to be
used on your own farm it pays to
make every possible efTort to secure
a stocky growth. But if you have
nothing but tallj weak overgrown
plants don't throw them away. Bury
about half the stems in a horizontal
position, leaving only about four or
five inches above ground. The part
below will throw out roots, and the
plant thus treated will yield a good
crop. American Cultivator.
PINK RAMBLER ROSES.
The crimson rambler has suddenly
come into fashion abroad, and in all
the recent accounts of functions in
London one reads of its being em
ployed as a decorative bloom. It has
been a great favorite in this country
for some years, but the pink species
is now beginning to rival it.
In June and early July one sees it
all through the suburbs, says Town
and Country, and it has quite taken
the place of the honeysuckle, the Vir
ginia creeper and other climbers for
summer house and trellis covering.
Some years ago it was introduced
by the florists here as a potted plant
for Easter, the blooms being forced.
Before that time, both in England
and France, it was considered as
rather an ordinary variety of the
rose and was not held in high esteem.
A new rose, faint pink aDd single,
a climber and evidently a wild flower
in its native land, has been used In
large quantities for derorative pur
poses. The blossom is quite small
and feathery, but massed tho plants
are most effective. The demand for
pink flowers of any kind this year
exceeds that of any other color. Dur
ing the winter the Killarncy rose led
aven the sterling favorite, the Ameri
can Beauty.
STRAWBERRY POINTERS.
When you get strawberry plants
don't set them until you have pruned
them by cutting the tip ends off the
roots. Where the roots are cut they
will callous, and from this point the
feeders will start, and wheu the feed
ers start pumping moisture charged
with plant food, the plant's entire
machinery is put into motion. When
setting the plants spread the roots
fan-shape, put them straight down
into the soil, press the soil firmly
against the roots, leaving the crown
of the plant clear up above the sur
face. Cultivate after each rain. Just as
soon as the soil will crumble. It it
doesn't rain cultivate every eight or
ten days, and keep a dust blanket be
tween the rows and all around the
plants in the row.
Remove the first runners if for
any reason the mother plants are not
growing vigorously; let the first run
ners set if the mother plant says so;
her appearance and condition will
talk.
Mulch'lmmediately after the first
freeze. In the spring part the mulch
directly over the rows, Just wide
enough for the plants to come up
through.
Grow the plants cither in the dou
ble hedgerow or in the twin single
hedgerow.
Never pull any weeds; kill them
before they are big enough to pull.
Just as soon as the plaoiU are set
out begin to cultivate.
Pinch off the fruit stems before
buds open. Jndlanacclis News.
