EDISON PREDICIS Electricity Direct From Coal Without steam Boilers and Electric Cum For Many Diseases will benefit humanity most w mmngh the medical application. A new source or electrical supply will be direct tron: coal without need for steam boilers. These are predictions 0! Thee. A. Mison, whose inventive genius ls muonsible for the widespread appu- ootlon of electric!”- Moon said. “But greater ate electricity direct from coal,” he said. “When that is accomplished we will record a new epoch. We are working on it now." “Considerable is being done to re- veal the medical functions of elec- tricity," he continued, “but its possi- bilities in this direction are practically unknown. “This research work must be done secretly, as the thousands of quacks now applying electricity to humans for all sorts of ills seize on every advance announcement from scientists to advertize their claims. “T111 we krow more about our bodies it will be dimcult to tell what. can be done with electricity as a medical aid. I once asked Du Bois Reymond, psychologist, what makes my finger move. It isn’t heat, light. ,Iectricity, magnetism. What is it?

So it happens that during September, those chiefly interested in the mar- keting of the crop, collect and compile statistics to show how the details During the last crop year, the Canadian Northern Railway handled over its lines between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains, 109,122 cars of grain produced along its rails, and inspected by the Government at Wim nipeg, Calgary and other points in the West. This is an increase of 69,828 cars over the total of the last previous year, and represents a gain of 178 per cent. A modern box on carries 1,200 bushels, so that the figures mean that one road transport ed more than 130,000,000 bushels at grain. ' Coupled together, these 190,122 cars would form one continuous train Toronto to Montreal and back, and up north as far as Parry Sound. Split this up into freight trains of fifty cars each, which is the average, and there are 2,182 trains, each with loco~ motive, caboose and train crew. The cars handled over and above the to tal of the year before, would consti~ tute a train continuing without a break from Toronto to New York. There is considerable diflerence in time from the laying of the egg in the various cells by the queen to the fully developed bee in the Imago stage. ""5 v. The egg deposited in the queen cell passes through its several stages to the matured queen in 15 days. The egg in the worker cell becomes a full-grown worker bee in 21 days. The egg in the drone cell takes 24 days to become a fully developed father. The Queen bee leaves her cell on the 16th day.

Feed Cow The average cow that freshens in the spring begins her year’s work with a serious handicap. She does if she is poor in flesh, and the cow that is dry during the winter or a stripper is apt to be, for a low pro- duction does not prompt good feeding. Good clover, hay and corn silage or clover hay and fodder corn will bring a dry cow up to her period of freshen- ing in pretty fair condition. but Wild or timothy hay and corn stover will not. It is now generally recognized among farmers who make a study of their cows that good feeding during a dairy cow’s six weeks or two months of rest is as profitable or even more so than at any other time. The flesh a good dairy cow lays on at this time will be converted into milk hater. Her milk flow will be larger and her test will be higher when she freshens, if she is in first class com dition. Shortage of feed, the rush of spring work and the temptation to turn the cows on pasture before there is feed there for them are all to the disad« vantage of the cow that freshens in the spring. Whatever may be the portion of the rest of the cows and stock, it will pay to feed the cow well that is soon to freshen. Not only a low milk production and a weak calf follow poor feeding at this time, but after birth retention which may lead to serious illness. . The haze of uncertainty which has obscured horse breeding is steadily clearing away. Breeders are in a better position today to judge tairly of the future than they have been at any time in the last decade. Factors whose precise influence was problem- aticalâ€"automobiles, motor trucks, and tractorsâ€"have found their places. ; and their limitations are now fairly: well understood.

Where we used to crank the motor to start it we found out if it was properly lu- bricated and it the compression was good or not. Whenever there is any sign of loss of power the starting han- dle should be used to see if the crank- shaft turns treely and the compression is good. Do it now, while the engine v'â€"_ i; in profief condition, and then you will have a basis for comparison when something goes wrong: ALA Be sure to change the water in the cooling system at least once a week. This will carry off most of the rust and so assist in preventing a clog- ged' radiator.

No other me- chanism receives the racking that the automobile gets, and it is impossible to keep the motor together it the nuts and bolts are not attended to fre- quently. It is so easy to connect to your tire and wait for it to be blown up that one often gets too much pressure. There is but little danger of the tire burst- ing. The harm is in making the tire too hard and so losing the benefit of the air cushion. When an automobile motor is hot care should be taken not to pour cold water into the cooling system too rapidly. When the cold water Strikes the overheated cylinders it is very apt to crack same, due to the rapid contraction which takes place. When the proper oil level in the crank case is determined the installa- tion of a drain cock in each compart- ment will enable the operator to keep his oil at a fixed level. This is an in- expensive installation and may ob« viate considerable trouble for the automobilist. w ___.. The gasket under the spark plug of the auto often causes a slight leak by holding a piece of dirt against the countersink. The dirt, even though it be very small, may cause the gasket to permit gas to leak out around the spark plug. When replacing the plugs it is well to clean the gasket and its seat thoroughly.
