An Endless Journey. I
When a boy or girl in the country
starts out for a trip of any kind, he
or she hes a definite place to go and
likes to get there. But in the darkness1
of night among the stars the moon;
travels endlessly around the earth!
while the earth is making its endless
journey around the sun.
In actual size the moon is just a
little more than one quarter the size
of the earth. There is no other planet
of the solar system having a moon so
nearly its own size, though there are
many moons of other planets that are
as large or larger than our satellite.
The telescope shows that Jupiter,
the great world that is about eleven
times the size of the earth, has moons
all larger than our moon. The small-
est of the four visible satellites el
Jupiter is almost the size of the
earth's satellite, while Jupiter's larg-
est moon is more than one-half the
size of the earth.
There is gawat difference between
the sizes of the planets and their
moons, but the greatest, difference is
that between the size of the planets
of the solar system and that of the
sun himself. It would take 109 earths
in a row to stretch across the gigantic
disk of the sma. Ntarly 400 moans in
a row would be needed for the skine
exhibition. Yet, when we see ithe
moon pass across the disik of the sun
at the time of a total 'eclipse, the disk
of the moon seems about the size of
that of the gm and just barely covers
up the latter.
Well, that is what one might call a
true coincidence. If the moon were
farther from the earth it would seem
smaller; and if the distance of the sun
remained the same, the lunar disk
would be too small to cover the solar
disk at the time of an eclipse.
Sometimes whee the earth is closest
to the sun, thus slightly increasing
the apparent size ef the solar disk,
and when the moon is farthest from
the earth, thus making it seem small-
er, the disk of the moon is not large
enough to cover that of the sun and
the eclipse is said to be annular. An
annulus is a "ring," and the eclipse
was called annular because at the time
of its central phase, when the shadow
of the moon is exactly in the centre
of the sun, a _bright ring of light too
dazzling to look at with the unpro-
tected eye surrounds the black disk
of ,our satellite. Were the moon still
farther away, the ring would be thick-
er and the little planet would make's
transit iestead of an eclipse. -
Both Mercury and Venus make
transits when the ui pass directly be-
tween the earth and the sun across the
line of sight, Then they appear as
small black dots silhouetted against
the huge fiery solar disk.
In her endless journey aroundthe
earth the moon sbinetimes goes
through our shadow. That is what
makes an eclipse of the moonWhen

Corn Shrinkage Increases
How emelt do farm grains shrink hi
storage? Th:s question is frequently,
asked by farmers, partienlarly res-
pecting corn, since the amount ofj
shrinkage influences the weight of the
bushel; this would, of course, influence
the price of corn.
Tests show that well -matured corn
has an average shrinkage of about 20
per cent., the amount ranging in an
eight-year test from 6.5 to 27.7. Corn
that has been stared when damp
shrinks from eight to ten per cent.
more, it has been found.
If earn sold at $1 a bushel in early
fall, well -matured corn will be worth
$1,05 on December lat. By March of
the following year $1.10 would be a
fair price for the sante bushel of cern.
The increase after March lst is grad-
ual, reaching a value of $1.25 by June
lat. In short, then, corn should be
purchased at about 20 per cent. less
in the fall than on June 1st of the fol-
lowing year.
Mai You Make Your Farm Lod Better
You Make it Worth More
The first thin to do in making the
plan for beautifying the home grounds
is to study the arrangement of the
necessary objects and the planting ma-
terials as you would study a picture.
Consider each tree, shinb, or flower,
its habite of growth, the size to NOieh
it will grow, and its locatiou, before
giving it a place in the home -grounds
picture.
Every farm has its own individual-
ity, just as every person has. On one
farm the backbone of a plan for beau-
tifying the home may be two or three
old trees. Possibilities sueh as these
are worth hundreds, of dollars to the
new home site. Compare with it the

toward avoiding a crowded, town -

of the home grounds should be digni-
fled and restful.
