FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1916. The earth’'s atmosphere Is now be- Qleved to have three fairly distinct ‘strata, the first, extending up to about forty-five miles, huving nitrogen as the Neadlng constituent, the second, with its upper lmit at about 123 wiles, be ing chlefly hydrogen, and the third, at a still greater helght, consisting of a very thin gus, which has been named “geocoronium."” Dr. Alfred Wegener has attempted to explain the striking differences of color In weteors or “shooting stars™ and says that weteors coming from outer space are not suthielently heated in the exceedingly light gas to become luminous. Thelr fall through the hydrogen lay- er causes them to become incandescent, and Dbefore they reach the lowest stratum most of them are completely dlssipated. A few of the largest, how- ever, penetrate the nitrogen atmos- phere, a very small number reaching the earth's surface. It is found that the deep falling me- teors pass through three stages of color—yellow-white, green and deep red—and It is concluded that the green is due to Incandescence of the hydro- gen and the red to that of the nitro- gen. Only the first stage is seen in the qQuickly dissipated meteors, the white, yellow or sometimes reddishness being evidently the glow of the meteor sub- stance.—London Family Herald Do not take upon yourself a load ot hatred. It is a heavier load than you think.—Mme. de Sevigne. Victor, Amsden and Arctic varleties of peaches seemed more hardy than others at the Ohio experiment station last winter, according to results given by Paul Thayer in the October month 1y bulletin. The winter was unusually severe because of low tewmperatures and a thaw in January which started the buds to grow. The Victor trees had about 90 per cent live buds in the latter part of March, while the other two_varietles had about SO per cent. Champlon, En- ! gle's Mammoth and Mayilower were commervial varieties. Gold Nina and Brackett varleties suffered most.

Dem- onstration surveys on more than 60 farms conducted by farm bureaus and the Kansas State Agricultural college prove conclusively that the fammer who excels his nelghbors in crops produced recelves anywhere from $150 to $G600 more each year for his labor. “If the farm business is of good qual- ity, other things being equal, it will be much more profitable than if lack- ing in this respect,” says Edward C. Johnson, dean of the division of ex- tension, Kansas State Agricultural col- lege. “By good quality is not meant ex- cessively high ylelds of crops or ex- ceptional production of stock. It does mean, however, ylelds that are a little better than the average for the com- munlty, cows that give more milk than | the average cow and beef cattle, hogs | and horses of more than average pro- ductiveness. “The Kansas farmer excels his neighbors in the crops produced and makes on the average $130 to $200 more each year for his labor than the average farmer. The farmer who ex- | cels in productiveness of live stock re- celves $250 to $300 a year more for his labor than the average farmer, while the farmer who excels in both | crop ylelds and productiveness of live also hardy and are considered better | gtock makes $400 to $600 a year more Mine, | Chalr’'s Cholce, J.

Club root in cabbage will be retarded by a heavy coat of lime applied in the fall. But the only sure prevention is the use of sound seedling plante and a rotation of crops and the destruction of all refuse from infected fields. Soll or manure that has been infected by the germs of the club root disease should not be carried to uninfected fields.
