The measurements of light intensity were made with a form of chemical photometer, and it was found that morning light was, o.T*. an average, 10 per cent, more intense, that*, afternoon light. Tids ditference varies " with the season, in. sorac. months j reac-xing SO per cent. Hence, other -things being equal, a crop will show a greater development on an east than a west exposure. The iisht- transniitting properties ot different Mnds of glass vary greatly. Thus the loss of light from glass as compared with outdoor light ranges all the way from 13 to 36 per cent, or more. The practice of lapping the panes causes an average loss of light of about 11 per cent. The transmission of light naturally increases as the angle of the roof more nearly coincides -with a'right angle to the sun's rays. The reaectioa of light from surfaces is another important factor.

The Hudson's Bay Company and Revillon's, Limited, the two greatest buyers of furs iu the world, who announced at the beginning of the winter thai they would not be in the market for the purpose oi skius this year, have kept their, word to lli������. letter. In former years it was no uncommon thiag for a buyer from one of die world's large fur houses to purchase some $-55,000 worth of raw fur during a trip. This year the aggregate buying of all who have come north will not reach $2,000, says a report from Edmonton. One ot the most, interesting deals ever made by a fur trader ia this territory is credited to Colin Fraser, king of all the northern trappers, and a man who for 61 years has caught jfur bearing animals. of all kinds, traser makes two trips to the city every year, and - never fails to bring from 10 to 40 bales of raw skins. His cateli this year was very moderate, a paltry 9,683 skins being secured.

Is it surprising that they should leave when all tho .farm offers them, us they see it, is drudgery and circumscribed opportunities? They read a -city paper and imbibe the city point, of view; they have city schools which educate them away from tho farm; aud they we lured to tho city by the desire tor wealth and the variety and gaudiucss of the life which it affords. The farm affords a much better financial opportunity to the wide-awake aggressive individual than Is com- mouly believed. A successful farmer says that on, the one hundred acres of land which He has built up by rotation, he makes $1,000 a year exclusive of his living.

On one hundred acres of land in twenty years the farmer should have made S*20,000 in money besides his living. Suppose he paid ?10 an acre'.for his land. At the end of twenty years it will be worth probably $30 an acre; in many cases it actually becomes worth Irom $50 to $75 and even $100 .an acre. At the end of twenty years the farmer has a competency, has probably educated his children advantageously,sand has something laid aside with which to help to start them iu a business of their own.

Money in WhealT' Farmers Peckst 3 JSiiUcr. on Whsat, Says This Expert One billion dollars and-more wiii have been poured into the strong boxes of farmers of the country when- all tire 1914 wheat crop" is sold. This estimate was giver, by a. vv. ssoiv. expert grain statistician of Bartlett & Frazier, to the Chicago Tribune. * The- enormous sum wlvich grain raisers are getting today for^their -wheat will total nearly twice as much as * the ?-00,000,000.and'niore which they, received lor their best wheat'-in 1913, according to Expert Snow's "compilation.

Seventy- nine cents was the price on Dec. 1, 1918: Because of the record breaking; advances .of wheat prices since tha outbreak of the >'o,r, ana since Jan. "1# 1915,. especially, the average for 1911, Mr. .Snow explained, cannot be judge! by-t:;.e Dec. 1, 1914, price/which was 08.6 cents a bushel on the farms. "The usual rule," said Mr. Snow, "is that wheat does not oegln to advance in prico^ until the bulk of the crop has left the Hands of the farmer. But in 1914 tho direct opposite was the case. The great benefit-.of-the' advance undoubtedly has gone-to the men who actually produced .tho wheat, while the amount of toll taken by the middlemen is relatively much less than usual." ��������� .Self-reliance I, Mlnard'o Liniment Curco Garjjct in Cows. !

XI Prompted by the Kaiser's Persistent Preaching, Brutality has Become an Essential Spirit of German Militarism, and Through the Army Permeates all Grades of Civil Life After uite allowance has been made ��������� temper, a -prelude fcy* inevitable exaggeration there re rusiins a solid substratum of fact, enough to disgust the civilized world with German methods of warfare. .The wanton destruction of Louvain, Rheims and other towns, not to mention the deliberately harsh treatment meted out "to the civilian inhabitants of the invaded countries, is sufficient to warrant the charge of unnecessary brutally disgraceful to the nation iftat practices it. In the "English Review," Austin lisrriscn,, the / editor, discusses r at length the development of this brutal spirit in Germany. During teat years residence "in that - country he noted, only -too frequently manifestations of that spirit in times of--peace. It, is only, natural, therefor*0, that it should find expression in war.'since the idea of "striking terror" into the non-combatants of an invaded country is an article of t^e German military regula- .. tions, emphasized by the kaiser when he exhorted the soldiers to "dsport themselves like the "Huns" in China, This brutality is the essential spirit of German militarism,- "and through ibe army^has, JMr. Harrison insists- peimeated into all grades of German civil' life. .* Tiie individual German is not cruel for the sake of cruelty. His brutality is rather a method. He would refuse to attend a bullfight or cockaght, ,pr any 'spectacle, of deliberate cruelty, but he would think nothing of cutting his Horse's back into bleeding, weals if the animal-jibbed or shied or threw him. .Mr. Harrison has heard Germans that complained bitterly of pigeon shooting at Monte Car.o, emphatically justify the right of soldiers to shoot" at sight . all suspected of franctirage, and to destroy any village or town where civilian acts of aggression had been" established. Prompted largely by the kaiser's persistent ''preaching, the "Germans have ���������educated. "--heihBelyes _ -to trie, army standard of "ruthless attainment of the- end* in- object"���������a principle that~ finds expression throughout Germany In the phrase "Sick imponieren" to -assert, oneself regardless .of the mean's or cost. - ��������� ' . This attitude has a terminology of Its -own. To fix a man with the eyes - is a recognized practice, and has been the sole cause of many a fatal duel. Another * practice which has come down from the__irmy to the "workshop Is what drill sergeants term -'rolling ihe eyes," Absurd g,s it may appear this rolling the eyes is," says Mr. Harrison," "a recognised German sign of chastisement." T_fi_ sergeants use it to awe and hold in his men. Thus, if a private, struck on the face by a corporal for having a button off his coat, shows resentment by rolling the, eyes, he is liable to further correction, as the corporal would be if he.rolled his eyes at a sergeant, and the sergeant would be if he rolled his eyes at a lieutenant, or a workman would be for rolling his eyes at a foreman, or a waiter rolling his eyes at a head waiter." Then again there is the forefinger sign, the most common gesture of-modern Germany. Symbol of punitive discipline used as-a menace and a" warning, it is a sergeant's first admonition. "Petty as such a detail may, appear," observes Mr. Harrison, "in reality it is interpretative or the modern German attitude, and of such that it is now astonishing and revolting to the world. It is th9 national gesture; like the Frenchman's shrug of the shoulders, and means just the apposite. It represents the-civil counterpart of the military doctrine "of ^striking terror' whence it derives." Trivial and droll as these ldiosyn- cracies may *eem, they are none the les3 characteristic' of the German spirit' of life, which '*iu the modern military garb has led to a social_sys- tem of formality, lickspittle, bullying, and brutality, inconceivable to anyone " that h_.s not'lived in Germany and studied' the system at work." The cult of bruality has been preached vfor fifteen years, not only in the army and on political platforms, but from university chairs, and, according to Mr. Harrison, produced serious social disease in the nation. Brutal outrages " upon children have become chronic in the lower classes, and sex perversities, in the ��������� upper. Strangely brutal crimes have become so common 'as' to "constitute unmistakable .scientific ground- for speaking of the-patheolo'gical state of Germany as the "direct product cf the imperial physical ." force doctrine.'* v in the German armies we are fighting a doctrine of brutality, the national attitude. - Though! 1 find , it s- hard to credit the reports of German soldiers firing/under cover jpl flags of truce and the Red-uross, "f know thai the Germans will not o-ly wage war brutality but p.'Uessly, as their emperor has frequently behooved them to. We at any rate, will keep the flag clean. Let us try and remember that the Germans are ���������*. misguided nation,, suffering pathologically from disease���������a disease caught*- from the kaiser, which' may be described as * "intelligent brutality." Claim Is AdvancedThat More Pro'-ec- tion is Necessary At a time when the ways and means of internal ~ revenue are being considered,- attention it directed to the twine and - cordage industry. Those now engaged in the industry in Canada claim that it suffers from class legislation, and that the better support of a healthy home industry rather than "encouraging importations, would result in retaining for circulation in Canada, a large amount of i money that is now lost to the country. Some seventy-five per cent, of the twine and cordage requirements of Canada are now on the free list, and considerably over half of the consumption is imported.

But England had brought into being an empire, world-wlae, immenso in population and In wealth. It seemed that thb scoptrc���������-not of actual rule, of course, not of * physical or matorlal domination, but of Jr.fluonco by character���������might pass from tho Mother to the children. aormany alono disputed this order of succession. That lo why tho world is at war toany. But Germany cannot conquer tho BrltiBh empire; _ho is breaking her nulls against a rock.

This has advantages, however. It is annoying that Petrosrad should be so badly paved, that laundries should make 'a practice of keeping y������_r "washing" for three weeks-instead of one, that there should be no-regularity in the postal or in any other service, whether private or state. But these are trifles in the general scheme of life.

When in a horse race, the( weaker animals gradually drop out and only the two strongest are left, have you ever seen the jockey of the horse which threatens to fall behind strike with his whip at ^hat jockey of the more ambitious and stronger animal?" "The man questioned shook his head. The emperor continued: 'Why ���������does England Btrlke at us? Why does she not rather strike at her own ^weakening horse?' Yes, other words of the emperor must be remembered. -'On one occasion he made this remark: 'Many people who judge us QiermanB solely by outward polish and term us barbarians, seem not to know- that there Is a great difference between civilization and "kultur."

Germany Realizes Mistake German Newspaper Admits Ambi- ^ tions Lroucht War The London Naval and Military Record says: "The German newspapers are beginning to admit that their navy has proved a' bad investment. It is very significant that the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin ha3 been led to admit that the 'dangers which at present menace Germany are far greater than those of 1870/ and that 'these dangers would not exist If we had not in the a meantime developed so wonderfully.' This paper proceeds to discuss tho growth: of European armies, but it doe- not find in this movement a satisfactory explanation of the difficulties which ar;j increasingly ambarrasslng the Germans. It admits that 'the decisive change does not, however, consist in "the Increase of armament, but in A the fact that whllo Germany 44 yeara ago was only - a. lan'dv power, sho has since forced her way up to the position of one of the most important naval powers.' But even more recently than this admission is tho statement that 'without this development wo should not perhaps have the war todny.' Perhaps tho Germans "are beginning to realize that their navy has proven an exceedingly cost!;- investment. They antagonized continental powers by the Incronso of the army, but it was the naval movement which moat arrosted tho attention of the world and crcntod that spirit of hostility to Gorman ambition which has found expression In noutrnl countries. This effect was producod less, porhapn, by tho building of ships than by propaganda whicli was encouraged by Germany and Admiral Von Tlrpltz.

Dillon in tho Daily Telegraph, that the vast supplies ot cereals now hoarded up in Russia will be sold and conveyed to westorif Europe by way of1* Archangel and Vladivostok. The cost of conveyance will be cut down to the lowest iiuiits by the introduction of special freights. This reduction in the cost of transportation, taken together with, the low prices of foodstuffs which now rule in Russia and tho exceptionally abundant crops in Siberia, will enable the Exporter to sell corn to the allies at rates, which cannot but have a beneficial effect on tho markets generally from tlio consumer's point of view. "As long as Russia, had to keep her foodstuffs within her own boundary othor corn growing countries," Dr. Dillon remarks,, "had It in their power to ralso prices to tholr hearts' content. But onco tho allies find It to their advantage to draw on Rus- sal's granaries s������', r'y tho demand will tend to bo equalized, and foodstuffs will- becomo proportionately cheaper."

The opposition claims he is on the ground (putting the finishing touches on a deal "whereby Mr. Taylor, the present federal .member for New Westminster, is to be given a seat in the Senate, and Sir Richstrd will succeed him as the M. P. for the royal city, and provided the constituency returns him Mr. McBride will be given some portfolio in the Borden cabinet. A very simple matter according to the enemy, and strange to say the j govern merit organs either take the seriously or else look ative in the Dominion cabinet and it is morally certain that when it is found advisable to take in anoth" er western member some Alberta or Saskatcbewan gentleman will receive the call. Neither of these provinces are at present represented on the federal executive council. While for real or imaginary political reasons it may or may not be deemed diplomatic to transfer Sir Biohard to other scenes of governmental activity it seems out of the question for Sir Robert Borden to pass up many other able followers who have borne the burden and heat of previous campaigns and take on an ex-provincial premier, whose appointment would tend to foster discord rather than promote harmony in the Borden following��������� unless it is proposed to retire Hon. Sam Hughes and make Sir Richard minister of militia. This, or any other old change in that department, would be welcome. But when further western representation is desired in Dominion councils Alberta wiii - supply the candidate in the person of R. B. Bennett, the member for Calgary.

The Dominion government has just enacted the necessary legislation to create some new judges for British Columbia and it is possible Mr. Mackay may be favored with one of these judgeships, in whicli case he would not be in a position to accept a legislative nomination.

Basil Gardom, the man who was responsible for the unearthing of the "cattle case" against Mr. Ellison, has taken the field against the former minister. Gardom is a Conservative of the independent type,a young man of sterling qualities, whose reputation cannot be questioned, and possessing considerable wealth. Should the Liberals refrain from putting a candidate in the constituency the Press asserts that Mr. Gardom has the chance of a lifetime to win. Fooling Only Itself Just how seriously the Conservatives at Kaslo take the Kootenaian on the political situation in this, constituency we are not yet advised but it is to be hoped the government supporters are not digesting all its views without the proverbial grain of salt. Last week Brother Powers strove valiantly to prove that notwithstanding some evidence of desertions from the Tory camp in Kaslo, the account would be balanced by a thinning out of the Liberal ranks at Creston due to uome real or imaginary dissatisfaction in connection with tho Liberal convention at Nelson. From careful enquiry we aro assured that with tho Kootenaian, in this little matter, it would, appear to bo a case of tho wish being father to the thought. Undoubtedly the local Liberals havo their own little personal differences among themselves but the Conservative campaigners at this end of- tho riding are well aware that thoro is not tha<slightost evidence of the "open rebellion among tho Liberals" that our contemporary appears to imagine exists in thoso parts.

"Ih6 war in Europe has devastated thousands of vegetable-producing acres and riiado it dif&cult lor Britain to obtain her usual supplies. Vegetable growers are urged to select carefully the best varieties of seed and plant in properly cultivated^ and fertilized soil.

"Why, of course,", declared Mr. Hetherington, plainly astonished at the question; "I would do and risk a good deal more than that to -ret & chance to be present at such au experiment. Wouldn't you?" He poured the water into the bath j and added a few drops from the hot- j tie according to Dodd's directions and' then stripped and stepped in. The effect was extraordinary. The moment his toes touched the water they seemed to absorb from it some curious property oi bl&ekn-_3, growing instantaneously black' at thegfirst contact. Sitting down in the bath ho rubbed himself all over and then stepped out again, every inch of his body '���By Jove,"' he said, looking a little frightened, "that is queer stuff."

Most of the houses had neat and well tended gardens, and the fields of the farm, with green and healthy crops that were now on tho point of ripening, formed a pleasant contrast to the btiirnt-up, dry appearance of the rest of the country. Tho.r.ason for this apparent fertil* ity was revealed when one noticed a little to the north the tall scaffolding that murks the presence o_ an ai*- tesian well, and then noticed little to the fields. Evidently irrigation was practiced here, and with very considerable success. Between this woll and the group of houses, but a little to the west, so that it was nearer to Dodd's shanty, stood another building of rather cur- ious appearance-, it was of a good height with.a flat roof, and v/as made of well fitted stone, and the on-y windows thaT it .had were high up, from fifteen to twenty feet from the ground.

"Gosh," he repeated, admiring their black skin, which, together with the ragged straw hats, the untidy clothing, the flannel shirts, and the heavy boots they had assumed, had turned them into very natural looiiing negro laborer, "gosh, I would not have known you myself for white men. It's terrible," he said, shuddering, and, to Hugh's fancy, there was something like horror in his eyes as he spoke. He told them they must b?. careful not to wash for fear of the coloring matter on their skins "running." and then he suggested they had better get a little rest as it was already past three in the morning, and Ihey were to be presented to Mr. Siddle at ten o'clock. They lay down as he suggested, but neither of them slept, for now that the moment was so near Mr. Hetherington's imagination was on fire with dreams of diamonds of a brilliance incomparable and of a size such as mortal eyes had never yet beheld. And Hugh thought of Eira, and wondered if she would know him In his present guise. Soon after eight o'clock Dodd called them and they went downstairs and had breakfast. Dodd would not let them was'n for fear of their spoiling their disguise, so they had to be content wtih a rub with a dry towel, 5>odd remarking smilingly that they had no need to be particular as the dirt would not show on their present complexions. It was a brilliantly flno day, the sun shining with Treat power, and going out on the little verandah in front of the house they had for the first time a view of the place to which they had at last come, ci'ter so long a journey and on ao strange an errand. It seemed a lonely and deserted spot enough. To the west tho country appeared to verge upon desert, and indeed only a few miles away was a district colled tho "bad land," an alkali desert whoro tliere was no water, where nothing grew, and wlieVf** only tlio fanastic "painted- roc-lcs" broke the dreadful monotony that otherwise rivalled the most barren stretches of tho Sahara. North and northeast was prairie land, of rather poor quality and not muoh settled on, though hero and thero was the homestead of somo Icelander or other Europcnu immigrant. South and southeast the land was bettor, though ���still only thinly Holtled. But. three or four farms were visible in tho dis- - tnnce. and in very clear weather or when tho mirage came, there could he ��ccn the little town of AthoiiH, 1_ miles away, tho prairie villugo in which Krillor Keene had recently tuk- <-n up his abode, and whence he thun- ��lc.-(l 4'rt.i.l'Mii.liy hwiiInpf the ne*r.n j*ae_, wiih one eye on the negro community that Noah Siddle had gathered round himself.

(To be Continued) _.__>< I am glad to heaJr that The Bankey- Farmer is to deal in its August issue with common school education in this j country, especially in the rural districts. There is great need for a thorough reconstruction of the programs of the rural schools. The instruction whicn they now provJ.de in -reading, writing and arithmetic' should not be .diminished in amount, hut altered in nature. The gr��ater part of the direct instruction should relate to natural history, , agriculture and farm life; __ and 'the books .used for 'teaching reading, ahd spelling should be on these subjects, .with additional prim ers on _reG��i*atih'5r Prohibition in Iceland Incidental to the project of personal reform through national prohibition it is to be noted that the parliament of Iceland has made a law forbidding the sale of alcoholic liquors within its jurisdiction. While Iceland is a Danish colony and subject to the authority of-King Christian, its parliament has control of local aaffirs, and the experiment now undertaken undoubtedly will be carried out without interference. It has signfilcance more especially because of the recent autocratic edict making "dry" the great territory of the empire of Russia. So far this latter seems to have proved successful. Iceland, with some 85,000 inhabitants, ought to he able to control the matter as effectively as has been done wtih the millions of vodka drinkers in Russia. It is not an affair of local option, however, but of national preference, and in this respect it may be instructive in its operation.���Boston Post. and- -civics.

All the child's reading, "and all the teacher's oral instruction,yshould be illustrated with concrete examples, and eveiy child should be trained to see, hear, and touch accurately, and to remember what" it thus learns by observation. Au important part oi the school program should be devoted to tne training of the senses, and to this kind of training of the memory. No matter what system be employed in teaching reading, every child should learn the alphabet by heart; and whenever a change is made in the system of teaching the children to write���such changes have been too frequent of late���the change should apply only to' beginners, and not to .the children who have already practiced long the rejected system. In the last two years of the rural school's course, every child should learn the elements of agriculture and gardening, and should have a garden plot to cultivate. Prizes should be offered for the best plots of vegetables, small fruits, and flowers. Every boy should be given practice in the use of carpenter's tools; and every girl should be taught to sew, cook and can fruits and vegetables. Reading aloud and''singing-should be a substantial part of every rural school's program. The practice in English composition should mainly consist of writing descriptions of what the child itself sees,, hears or touches.* These improvements in rural.schools cannot he made without spending more money than towns and counties have been in the habit of appropriating; but no town or county expenditure will bo so profitable to tho community .as the expenditure which makes these changes possible. In order to put these improvements into execution on a large scale, all normal schools will have to prepare their graduates to give instruction in the subjects ar.d methods indicated. Some normal schools are doing that now, but by'no means all. ��� .."���-���.'. In the meantime, granges,, farmers' clubs, bankers' and manufacturers" associations, endowed educational boards, and private givers may well promote liberally this much-needed refo rm.���From the Banker-Farmer.

Dog's distemper, which is due to a special microbe, can be prevented and treated in a similar manner. There is another way.in which dis-v eases can be prevented.__and treated." If the poison found by bacteria is injected into a horse.'a substance will be manufactured in its blood which will prevent the borse from taking the disease caused by these bacteria. If then some of the _)loo& be drawn ofE and allowed to clot, the' serum or w_,tery part can be. taken and used to treat human beings-. For- instance, diphtheria anti-toxin is made by injecting a - horse with the poison formed by the diphtheria germ which has been grown ia the culture tube, and thus we get from the horse without killing it the anti-toxin ��� which every year saves-thousands of lives,. al! over the world.

Capture SlayeShip - British Battleship Rescues African Slaves From Arabs A letter received' from Arthur Han- kin, now serving as wireless operator on a British battleship cruising off northeast Afi^ca, describes the capture, in the Red Sea,"of a large sailing vessel engaged in -carrying captured African natives to Arabia to be soiu as slaves. The letter says, in part: "There was a large oanvas lying in her bow, and when this was raised we found the front of the' ship packed with slave women and little boys. The poor women were seared nearly to death. The clavers had told them we would* cut off their heads if we caught them,- and threatened to knife them if they moved under the canvas. ��� - "We had to lower a boat and lift them into it, and then raise them in the boat on board. * So weak and cramped were they that they could hardly stand.

The sailors from our ship had to pick them up bodily and carry them below.

As .weavers, carvers, car-' penters- and boat builders their reputation is well known, but few are aware that they are skilful rope makers. From the wild hemp which is in/ digenous to the country they make a very fine and exceedingly strong rope, with a finish which any rope factory in the world would be proud of. At Awillgate, an interesting and picturesque village in - the Bulk.ey Valley, close to New Hazeltori, one of the promising jtowns on the Grand Trunk Racine Kaiiway, an oppor tunity is given " of inspecting some of this "ope. and also a quantity of the hemp in course of preparation for the final process. The Indians use it for "tracking" their heavily laden canoes up the swift rivers in tow,' a test that proves its qualities beyond the question of a doubt.
