Thedistanceashotcanbethrown depends primarily on two thingsâ€"the velocity with which it leaves the muz- zle and the angle of elevation above the horizontal. Other things aflect it also. but these two are all important. 0: course a light shell will lose its ve locity quicker than a heavy one, tor it has less stored up energy to overcome the friction of the air. Temperature and the humidity of the air both have their effect. But the two great fea- tures are initial velocity and angle of elevation. m Any one who throws a ball knows that it is higher near the center of its ter. It was long ago found that any ; projectile to reach a maximum range 3 must be thrown at about forty-five deâ€" i grees above the horizontal. This apâ€" 1 plies to a baseball as well as, a 1,000 pound shell. It it is thrown higher it . falls short in distance. for too much of »‘ our effort has been expended in giving ' it height. If thrown lower gravita- ‘ don pulls it to the ground before it has ' covered its maximum distance._ 1 Another thingâ€"the ball or shell falls at a greater angle than that with which it started. If it is thrown at forty-five degrees elevation it will fall with near- er sixty degrees because of. the retard- ing effect of the atmospheric friction. This friction is continually slowing up the projectile and eventually all but stops it. But meantime the action of gravitation is pulling it farther and farther downward from its initial path. The net result is to bring it to earth much sooner than if the second half or its flight were the counterpart (reversed) of the first halt-Sidney Graves Koon. M. E. in Leslie’s. The Story of the Careless Man and His Puzzled Servant. There was a man who was careless and unobserving. Once, when he was going abroad. he hastily pulled on his shoes. ready to hasten away, when, to his surprise, he found that one of his legs had suddenly become longer than the other. He was both puzzled and frightened. for he said to himself: “What can be the matter? When I last walked my legs were the same length. How queer it is! I have met with no acci- dent nor has any one cut a piece from my root palm.” He felt his legs and then his feet to solve the mystery. At last he discov- ered the mistake to be in his shoes, for he had put on one shoe with a thick sole and one with a thin sole. “These shoes are odd ones and not a pair,” said be So he called loudly for his servant and ordered him quick- ly to change his boots. The servant went into the room to bring the master's boots. but after a little time came back with a much puzzled expression on his face. His master sternly demanded the boots for which he had sent him. but received for his answer: “Dear master, it is very strange, but there is no use for me m change your ; Notice is hereby given pursuant to The Revised Statutes of Ontar- io 1914, chapter 121, that all cred- itors and others having claims lagafinst the estate of the said g‘Williasm Kirk Reid, who died on or about the 22nd day of June, 1915, mm required on or before the 5th day of November, 1915, to send by ipost prepaid or deliver to Edna Clara Reid, Durham, Ontario, the Administratrix of the estate of the said William Kirk Reid. their Christian and Surnames, addresses and descriptions, the full particu- lars of their claims, the statement of their accounts and the natureo of the securities, if any, held by them.

Broald acres, well kept and well stocked: splenâ€" didly equipped buildings; a mod- ern home with its good cheer, its books, its music. its culture; a close touch. with progress; a balance in the bank; the pride of strong men and sensible women in a calling as old as the human race, but never until lately come into its own,â€"â€"tlnese are the to- !kens of a revival in agriculture. § In a sense more vital to the‘ grace than he himself knows, the tiller of the soil has become the "protector of the nationâ€"the one iwho, in a very near and positive ’Way, keeps the nation in the phy-. lsical poise essential to the bet-fl fthlought and fibre of the race. Not .only does he feed and clothe the .race, but he maintains the arable globe in a condition of constant service. It is a colossal under- itaking which is before him,â€"~the I care of the nations. It calls for his inoblest efforts. It enlists the highest and best of his nature. It ‘has not infrequently reacted upon himself, leaving him poor in purse and lean in ih‘Ope. He is the feeder of the race and, if 'he fails I to Ido his full duty, the race dev I teriorates. Very many of the details, as well as the underlying principles of this progress, are seen by those most vitally concerned through vague mists, while the millions of the nations, whose very existence is dependent upon the tiller of the soil, know next to nothing of all the marvellous doings of the generation just closed. It should naturally follow that so important a person should not only have the friendship of the race, but all that fine and constant sympathy which true friendship assures. Quite the contrary has been the case. Until these later days he was frequently of all men most miserable: neglected, looked down upon: servant where he should have been master; poor and becomning poorer: the prey of sharpers; the follower of a calling which, seen in its true perspective, is outranked by me other in power, scope, or servace to mankind. In the midst of this sad predic~ ament, science came to his help.â€"â€" 1 that sensible science of our adâ€" : vancing day, which has for its aim " not merely discovery, but appli- cation, which is not so delighted l with the formulating of a new law as it is overjoyed at the lift- ing of an old burden. To-day the advanced farmer is looking more and more eagerly for the aid- which practical science offers in the solution of the agri- cultural problems. The old-time farmer still exists, often clinging to the past, often knowing no higher law than that of chance, planting, rearing and gathering his crops under the leadership of luck, ignorant of much that he could ‘have for the asking and. in his ignorance committing the clearer light, even this main is becoming broader in his cultiva- tion, while the advanced farmer, keen to take advantage of the signs of the times, quick to adapt his wares to the market and beâ€" coming more strenuous in his ef- forts to protect that market, is '. own. He is heartily interested in the work of his sons and daughters, as they come back to the farm from the agricultural colleges, orim full of the things hle is anxious to i know more about and of which in: his [day of meagre schooling even his teachers were unaware. He is alert, up to date. a commanding figure in (his commu'nity. A generation "ago many a Young man went into farming be- cause his father was a farmer before him, or because it was one occupation among men which did not need any preliminary training. He reaped what he sowed. Each succeeding year saw the granary 'heaped- fuller of.du's- appointments.

Very largely this has been. a due to agricultural education now a gat flood tide. In all the centuries, of i the work of the farmer has been en from many points of view. menial. an Those who could own and operate no great estates, with someone else to {do the work. and with all the absence of disagreeable friction. as which wealth implies, were happy } [es in their choiceâ€"the vast mass of bv the farmers, however, were bound .ed down to a distasteful life. Those :he adventurous spirits who did the )se pioneer work of opening the Great pon West frequently were so deeply in ext love with the wild: free life of the me frontier that they entered with ust zest upon the hardships and pri- vation of pioneer life. But a Very the large number of the men and the women who have been the farm- 30- re. the ers of our country have not en- 'me tcred upon. nor remained in. the ive lia'e from choice. The young men who went away frmn home to study in the agri- czziiural schools returned With a whcllv ldifferent idea of farm life. Thev found that there were dif- ferent ways of doing the same thin -‘ They found that business were as pertinent to farming as to ‘ia lking They learned that it was not necessary to live a slov- enlv life on the farm. either in the. field work, in the barns, or in the l.ome itself: that a farm muld be. so administered that it would he - place to go with. de- light rot one to be shunned and tr.- ‘ne abandoned the moment something different offered: that tht-I‘r was money to be made in wise fanning and that, best of all from some noints of View, it was wholly unnecessary for a farmer to live forever in the shad- ow of a mountain of debt The life of the farm has oeen transformed Much has Oeen done1 oy the telephone and the railroad ‘ to relieve it of its terriole isola- tion. The dead level of humdrum cares and the awful monotony of the old way of life were sadly de- void of stimulation. It was a powerful figure, woman or man. who rose above the monotony and grind, the insufficient equipment the distasteful life. and maintained a cheerful outlook and a gener- ous graSp of ioyful things. Under this new order of things, the farm life becomes one of the most at- tractive in the whole range of human activities. Refinement, cul- lture, enough luxury, but not too much, an occupation that makes good health imperative. a steadv increase in capital and a gener- ous income, an intimate touch with the outside world by reason of the telephone, the trolley car. the daily newspaper, the rural free deliveryâ€"it is in many ways an ideal life; it is small wonder that the tremendous movement, towards the city is being; here and there checked: the outflow has already begun. In addition to the work of the agricultural schools and colleges important fundamental work is being done in the country and even in the city schools, in the Way of teaching the younger students the principles of ele- mentary agriculture. In this in- struction the student in the coun- try school not only receives, by the novelty of the Work, an added stimulation for his other studies. but he begins to learn the secrets of the life about him, is gradually brought closer and closer into touch with Nature in his forma- tive years, and it is many to one that such a course of instruction W711 bear fruit in permanent in- terest in the liking for the func- tions of the farm.
