The Horse of TlilrtytFlve':
Study of tlifs relation between the to
tal length of life nnd Hip time required
to reach mnturlty Ims Voujslit out an
Interesting roiTtptirlxon between men
nnd horses. A liorxe nt flvo years old
Is said to he, lonijmrntlvply. as old nsu
man at twenty, tntl doubtless may be
expected to btUiave, according to
equine standards, after the manner of
tho nvcrnpre college student following
human standards. A ten-year-old
horse resembles, so far as ago and ex
perience go, a man of forty, while a
horse thnt has nttalned the ripe age of
thirty-five Is comparable with a man of
ninety. New York Evening Post.

Many Film Pictures Per Second.
Taking motion pictures 'nt the rate
of some 15,000 a wcond with n enmorn
and lens, Is tho recunt achievement of
a French scientist. High-speed pho
tography not uew, but heretofore
hns depended upon electric-spark
shadows, without lenses, nnd Incklng
sufnclent Illumination for dear defi
nition. The mechanism of tho enmera
consists of an aluminum reel, electri
cally driven nt 3.000 r. p. in. and
winding film nt 104 feet n second. At
this rate pictures 2 Inches high nro
mndo about 10,000 times a second,
larger and smnller surfneos bolng ex
posed nt respectively slower nnd faster
speeds, says tho August Popular Me
chanics Mngazlno In an article cann
ing a full-pago Illustration.
Tho Illumlnnnt Is n stream of high
tension electric sparks with a fre
quency of about 80,000 n second,, pro
duced nt tho focal point of a concave
reflector, nnd kept from (laming by a
current of air.
Nippon Honors Her Soldiers.
Op. n hill nenr Port Arthur, China,
there looms a grand memorial tower,
and Just hack of It arc burled, in un
marked trenches, tho bodies of 22,000
of tho bravest soldiers of Nippon, snys
tho Detroit Frco Press. It Is n. shrine
for every loyal Japanese. On tho side
of another hill He buried all that Is
mortal of 15,000 Russians, and there
nlso a monument has been reared.
Theso were the men who died during
tho slego of Port Arthur, which com
menced 15 yenre ago and continued for
almost a year. Although Port Arthur
was given back to Chlnn by tho Japa
nese It remains for all practical pur
poses a stronghold of Nippon, and It
is today more Japanese in character
than Chinese, and is likely to remain
so unless Japan is forced to relin
quish tho city by another war.

Get Full Plow Value Behind
Your Tractor
No matter how good your trac
tor may be, you have to depend upon
the plow behind the tractor for the im
portant, direct work of seed bed-making.
It pays to be especially careful
in choosing your tractor plow.
We offer you the opportunity
to get a John Deere Tractor Plow the
plow that has more than 80 years of suc
cessful plow-making experience behind it.
If you will come in and investi
gate this plow we are sure you will agree
with us that it is the best tractor plow for
you to buy that it will last longer than
any other tractor plow and will give you
better results while you are using it.
Especially, we would like to have
you investigate these-important features:
How the genuine John Deere bottoms are
Come in and investigate our
particularly adapted for thorough seed bed
making and longer service.
Why the John Deere Quick Detachable
Shares save time and labor and stay close
fitting.
How the simple, dependable power lift
device, that raises the bottoms high and level,
works without troublesome chains or
sprockets.
How the bottoms reach full plowing depth
immediately when lowered and are locked
down to this depth while plowing.
How the unusual clearance assures steady work
in trashy land.
How the simple, strong construction through
out assures maximum length of service and mini
mum repair costs.
How the hitch adapts it for successful use with
any tractor.
We can furnish this plow in two, three or four
bottom size3.
Remember you need the best tractor plow you
can get.
