THE ATMOSPHERE ENVELOPE
In a recent contribution to the Year-
book of the Department of Agricul-
ture, Mr, Roscoe Nunn, of the United
States Weather Bureau, compares the
thickness of the atmosphere envelope
that surrounds the earth with the
diameter of the earth itself. It is esti.
mated that the extreme limit of the
earth's atmosphere above the surface
of the earth is 180 miles. The
diameter of the earth is approximately
8,000 miles. But the density of the
atmosphere decreases rapidly as alti-
tude increases, so that three-quarters
of the mass of the atmosphere lies be-
low the seven -mile level. Thus, the
solid earth has but a thin coating of
air -at most only about one -fortieth
as thick as the diameter of the earth;
or, if we consider only its really appre-
ciable extent, which is about 40 miles
above the earth, only one two -hun-
dredth as thick as the diameter of
the earth. It is therefore a mere
coating, not thicker, relatively speak-
ing, than the skin on an apple of
ordinary size. When we consider the
facts that storms operate only in that
part of the atmosphere which lies
within about 7 miles of the earth, and
chiefly within 3 miles, it is truly won-
derful what mighty forces they gen-
erate and what vast energy they ex-
pend within that film of gas. A
storm condition may cover one-third
of Canada. The disturbance may be
1,000 to 1.500 miles• in diameter, but
less than 7 miles thick. In other
words, the body of air in which those
tremendous forces work is of about
the same proportions as a post card.

PROFITABLE CROP ROTATION.
Central Aim Should Be to Leave
Fields le a Better Condition.
The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely In changing
the crops around from year toeyear
regardless of the relation of the
crops to each other. The central aim
in all crop rotation systems should
be to leave each field in a better
state of cultivation, better physical
condition, and reasonably free from
pests at the end of each rotation
cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system
can be laid down for any community,
but the most profitable system must
be worked out for each farm and In-
deed for each field. There are certain
general principles, however, that
should be borne in mind in this con-
nection in order to accomplish the
most satisfactory results. For soil
improvement there should be at least
one leguminous crop in each rotation
cycle. To this class of plants belong
the clovers, alfalfa, peas, beans, etc.
There should be also a sufficient
quantity of live stock, especially
milk cows, o.1 each farm to utilize
the roughage and to supply the de-
sired quantity of stable manure,
which in addition to green crops
plowed under will furnish the neces-
sary amount of humus to the soil.
The conditions resulting from this
treatment if the soil is properly han-
dled will make the succeeding crops
more vigorous and capable of offset-
ting in some measure at least the
effects of any pests that may appear.
Again, the successive crops in any
rotation should be so selected and ar-
ranged that no two upon which the
same pest may thrive will be grown
in succession. The principles of
disease control by means of crop
rotation are based upon the fact that
certain pests can thrive only on cer-
tain kinds of plants. Therefore
when the crops are changed and the
food supply thereby cut off the pests
must perish or be greatly reduced in
number.
A Familiar Enemy.
Just now the chinch bug is lying
dormant in the winter quarters chos-
en in early fall. Along the fences, in
grass patches, under the fallen leaves
of the woods pastures and in a thou-
sand other hiding places the bug
waits the coming of spring. Fire set
in such places will destroy armies of
them. The most effective way of
fighting the chinch bug is to fight
with fire during the winter, for every
one burned in the grass and fence
rows there will be a thousand less to
cross from wheatfeld to cornfield
next summer. -Farm Progress.
Ifo- to Make a Rag Doll.
The early frost last year caught
much of the seed corn, and it must
be picked out ear by ear to make
sure it is not dead. A simple but
accurate seed corn tester is easily
made as follows
Take a strip of muslin about nine
inches wide and eighteen inches long
for testing five ears, twenty-eight
inches long for ten ears and about
forty-eight inches long for twenty
ears. Mark on it as many two-ineb
and three-inch divisions as there are
ears of corn to be handled in the
tester. Number the divisions 1, 2, 3,
4, etc. Make a wick about an inch
wide and a foot long of any old cot-
ton cloth.
Number the ears to correspond to
the divisions, placing five kernels
from ear 1 in space 1, etc. The rag
doll should be dampened before plac-
ing the seed corn in it. When all the
spaces have been filled, carefully roll
the rag doll tip, starting from the left
hand end, making sure that the seeds
are not mixed by careless rolling;
then, when the last row of seed has
been rolled in, place the wick in the
rag doll, letting about eight inches of
it hang out, and finish rolling to the
end. Itshoule' then be dipped in wa-
ter, rolled in a wet towel, and the
crick placed in a glass of water.
Several rag dolls, testing fifty to
one hundred ears, may thus be plac-
ed in the same towel. Feel of the
towel every day, and if it is not moist
dip it in a bucket of water and cor-
rect the condition that caused it to
dry. In about six days the test is
ready to count, and all ears showing
Weak, dead, or moldy kernels should
be thrown into the feed box.
