An Ohio Man Advances an Idea That . May Eventually Lead to _ _ Great Things. l frae il = ——A great many different schemes have been proposedyand some of them have been tried, for lessening the work of carting farm produce into town. The traction engine is used for that purpose to a considerable extent in Eng- . land, although in America yery little hauling is done therewith. - Then -again there has been-a good deal of talk about laying broad, guttered rails . on the common highway for the wheels - ofjthe ordinary wagon to run in. This is a rather more popular idea, and has i a promising future in our own country. : ; In some parts of the United States there are trolley lines reaching out through the rural regions and carryénis e —=_S N\ p hl it e¢ e e }ﬂl'rxr,,—_li‘l I i ’»—‘-“"" SHLE) =T\ ey . - =R | j‘/’”’"g‘?‘ A . : “\;f::\;é?lg eSSt ' N “‘"“~- = SN o= : .= = _ T TROLLEY FARM WAGON. _ ing not only passengers, but also mail " and 'express matter.- Inside city lim- ™ its in many places special trolley cars are made for local postal and express setvice, and in the vicdinity of very large cities one will sometimes find that a certain style of low platform cars are provi-;led by the steam roads for carrying into ¢town the heavy ‘trucks of the market gardeners laden with fresh vegetables. And now still another plan has been proposed. A Toledo man, named Bonner, Has devised a special truek which is designed to run on a street railway and to-carry a farm or express wagon. Ingsmuch as the ordinary vehicle " would| not fit the truck: Mr. Bonner *~ thinks/t better to have his own wagon . as well as his railway truck. He has taken out a patent on the idea, and lias obtained a franchise from the city of Toledo for running his wagons through the sireets. As soon as he has manufactured and sold a number of his special wagons to the express companies in town and has also had a few of hits trucks made he will be in a - positian to take the wagons on the tricks through such streets as lmve ~ trolley lines. [The trucks arg intended to be coupled to a trolley car, and are not provided with electric motors - of their own. After;the city service is fairly start.ed Mr. Bonner will efideavor to secure rm‘:gl patronage.’ Of course, it will.be necesary for such farmerg as wish to ~ take advantage of his plan to have the

right sort of wagons and to-haul them _by horsepower near enough to town to ‘reach the trolley tracks. But in Ohio there are numerous trolley roads extending from one town toganother and attaining a length of ten, 15 and even 25 miles. If a farmer only lives along ane of these routes he will not need to haul his wagons more than a few rods.. Indeed, if he has a switch and sidetrack and loads his wagons while they stand on the latter he will have an easy task before him. The rapid development of trolley lines through the rllfaﬁ"distriet,s nowadays makes Mr. Bonner’s idea an interesting one. There. is no telling how far it is likely to become servicéable “to -American farmers.—N. Y. Tribune.

When a tree is weak or old the top dies or makes a feeble growth. Feeble-growing and unhealthy trees are largely the result of poor soil. - With fruit maturity is a distinet stage, and ripeness or mellowness another, g —

Is Morning Milk Best? - There is a general belief that the entire rest which the cow gets at’ night makes the morning milk richer than that which she gives at mnight after more or less exercise through the day. But if the exercise in daytime takes anything from the milk. it is more likely to use up the albumenoids or strength-giving elements, and thus leave the milk richer: Yetthe morn-. ing’s milk may be richer'in butter fats for an entirely different reason. There is reasan to believe that all the time that milk is forming in the udder it is losing some of its butter fats which are being absorbed by the cow: Th‘ej,? strippings or milk last formed is for ‘this reason richer than that first taken. In summér time there is a shorter time between milking at morning than at night, and consequently mmgfgﬂmmwﬂfon of strippings in the smaller mess of milk.

BROAD-TIRED WAGONS.

Exhaustive T#stu Show Them to Be '~ Infinitely | Superior to the G Narrow Variety.

The use of }hie bicycle is affording an lilustration of the operation of the broad-tired vehicles in keeping roadways in good ctndition. This illustration is conspicuous after showers, when it will be noted that the tires of the bicycles beat down 'and harden the bicycle path much more rapidly than the narrow-tired wagons restore the roadway proper to a smooth condition.: It is ffrue that the action of the pneumatic tire is more beneficial to a soft roadway than that of the hard broad tire, but its tamping effect is an illustration of -what the wide tire does[in comparison with the cutting effect of the conventional narrow tire. e

Were it possible to substiiute broad tires for ‘thehFarrow -tires mow generally used, the condition of the average country road.would be improved in a comparatively- short time. Not only that, but the efficiency of the the average draught horse would be materially rai#ed. ‘lnstead of cutting into the soft spots in a roadway, the wide A{f'ire:cori;presses the soft earth and passes over it, leaving the spot in an improved 3ondition for the pass. age of the next wheel.

An exhaustiye test of the broad and narrow tire, x}lad_e at the agricultural experiment si{ation of the Missouri State univefsi%y, demonstrated that on hard, smooth |and nearly level macadam roadwaysithe strain required to haul a given lolad was 35.7 per cent. less with the broad tire than with the narrow tire. On igra\'el road with a hard surface, there was a margin of 33.3 per cent. in fav-or{ of the broad tire. On a road compogsed of a large quantity of‘sand mixed|with gravel, the margin was 45.5 per|cent. in faver of the broad tire. ver a new, unused dry gravel road, the difference in favor of the broad tire was 26.6 per cent. The narrow tire ljequ'ired less strain for haulage on alload where ‘water covered the surfz{‘ce and loose sand from one to twotand a half inches deep was found. But “{}lxile the broad tire requried a greater strain for haulage, it did no injury to the road, wherecas the narrow tire cut through the soft earth bereath the‘\\iater, and destroyed the surfacing. The broud tire was also at a disadvantage on roads where ithe hardpan was ciovered with dust, as the narrow tire cut through to the hardpaun, -while thé wide tire pinched and heziped up thefdust, and thps increased the strain of I’Eaulage. The broad tire also required g 4 greater strain on some kinds of mud ;i{oads. But as a whole, the tests were strongly favcrable to the use of bro%xd tires for the averayge roads..~Milwaukee Wisconsin. %

CORNERS OF THE SILC.

An Eastern Farmer Explains How He i ' . Has Solved the Problem ¢f Con- : stru*‘!tlng Them.

Since the silg first came into use I have heard the} inquiry, How can we best fix or make the corners of our silo? I had one made two years ago and found trouble with it. "One year ago I made an&\ther,‘and am so well pleased with it {that I send -you the plan. I ceil inside of silo with narrow matched pine one thickness, and to make a good corr%er I made several experiments and found that by meas-

ET/ E \\/,#x‘ : o= e . /. 1Y = CORNER OF SILO. ! uring in on inside of silo one foot from each corner, and|then siriking a 30irch circle on the crosspiece in the corner, I could ceil around the silg by using three-inch matched lumber. The corner proved to be a suecess, and many who look at it say the question so often asked is now answered. i The crosspiece shouldbe sawed out of lumber 2xlo incl:%:. I use 2x8x16 feet { long; and make my silo 16 feet and 8 inches square,/ and thus save all waste in cutting the 2xB-inch Jumber. I board the inside of silo with surfaced hemlock: and then put on building paper, and sided on {this with novelly siding.. I much pi‘e}'fe,r this plan to my other silo, which|was doubly boarded and J;attened witlL paper between. The wide| boards are!qxﬁte apt to shrink and Lplit. I think with the directions given any carpenter can draw a draft, make pattern for crosspieces in the corners, and haye them sawed out carefully by hand saw, and with due’ care can make a finé¢ silo. Here is a rough draft of corners in'my silo, as we start out on first sill.—W. N. Norton, in National Stockman. . ;

Experlinent‘ wwith Strawberries. An Ohio farmer who always had plenty ofrstra}vberries did not reset his patch oftener than once in seven or eight years. He made the soil very rich before setting the plants. As scon as the first erop was off he trained the runners into the spaces between the rows and late in the fall plowed the old rows out, turning the furrows over “the new plants, afterward raking the soil off them and back into the furrows. This plowed space was then manured and cultivated during the fall until the weed [gseeds in the manure had sprouted and had been killed. When freezing weather came the pateh was mulched with straw and the next season there was a good crop on it. This operation may be repeated .indefinitely. } £ e Soft Wateri for Test Bottles. : Frequently when the hottles are taken from the tester a bit of foam will be found on top of the fat. This ‘ean be remedied by using soft or digtilled water on:‘l filling the bottles. 1f no soft water ﬁs to be had from ordinary sources, cordensed watér can be had irom the boiler with but little trouble. Arrange n drip cock from ‘some steam _pjiph and leave it open very little, C@ide;nﬂ&tion will give you all ‘the soft water you want, not enlyfor filling the-bottles, but,also for wash ing them—Eigin Dairy Report,

HOW HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT. Naval Exhibit at the { maha Exposig tion Which in a Measure ExB - plains Deweyts Feat. : e Since the welcome n%:ws of Admiral Dewey’s remarkable vi¢tory at Manila on. the Ist of May F\'zxs published throughout the civilized world, it has been a matter for won{ler everywhere, not less in the United States than in Europe, that the American gunners were able to destroy ahSpanish squadron in a Spanish harb@pr without the loss of a single Ameri¢an life.” When history repeated itself at Santiago two months later the wonder was intensiﬁed. s , In the Government puilding at the Trans-Mississippi exposition is an exhibit which in a measyre explains the mystery. This is a naval range finder, the invention of a United States naval officer. Up to date no one outside of Uncle Sam’s service hgs been able to discover how it is ope‘rated. The instrument is shown in ajglass case with various other nauticalf:paraphernalia, and of course the attendants refuse to answer questions as to its method of working. \ In showing the enormous advantages derived from the use of this instrument one of the naval officery in charge of the exhibit says: ? : “Tt is a fact that no‘o’%her navy has any means of finding the range ‘that does not involve a math%‘ematical calculation. = This implies a‘;‘good deal of time lost, and in most cages they find it quicker to get the range by actual experiment, . The Spaniards, for instance, have to fire sevenal shots betore they can get the range ‘of one of Uncle Sam’s ships. If their first shot falls short they try again and then they are apt to overshoot,(nnd by that time the position of the vessels may have been altered and thef are still at sea. ‘Meanwhile the officen in the conning tower of the Americ‘}m ship has located them almost exactly with this instrument and reported the range by ‘telephore to the various g'l‘;n captains. This has only consumed a ff.w seconds, and while the Spaniards are still trying to get their range the shells from the American guns are swéeping their decks. (. ;

“The peculiar thing about the instrument,” continued the ofﬁc{er, “is that while it is one of the simple¢st things in the world to anyone who ﬁnows its secret, the most expert madhanic or inventor might examine it as long as he wanted to and still be unable to dis“cover how it works. This|is why rep¢ resentatives of other navies have been completely baffled in thear efforts to find it out. They have range finders of their own, but none that gfve the same instantaneous and accur:ate .results. Andas long as they can be¢ kept in the dark we will be able to gutshoot any nation on earth, even if dhere_was nao difference in the skill of the gunners.” _ There is another advaxltage in the ‘use of the instrument which amounts to considerable in the course of half a dozen naval engagements. It costs $1,360 to fire a pair of 18-inch guns once. If the Spaniards go into a fight they muwust fire at least tw% shots to secure the ranges Frequerltly these do not answer, and they goton shooting $6BO charges in the air, ‘ while every pound of powder that goes into a United States gun is utilized. The ability- of the American gundérs to obtain the exact posjtion of the ¢nemy before a gun is fired saves thousands of dollars in ammunition in eyery engagement. : o ; “Pouring oil on 'l‘roubl;qd Waters.” The “Indiana” was kept dry by the dripping of oil from boéh' ‘bows; and although tremendous seps were running and breaking, they could not come on board. This i'x;s certainly a most practical illustration of the oldl saying as to the ‘-_‘p‘ourf!ng of oil on troubled waters’”—a preore»rb as cld as the Bible, but only very recently applied, thanks to the hydrographic office of the United States,and now very generally followed by |seamen the world over. It was an American also (Tredfield) who first thmi'oughly found out and explained the true chatacter of these revolving forms, and to him all seamen are foreverg;indebted. In ‘using olfl, it is astonishing how small ‘a quantity will suffice—just a quart or two, in a bag stuffed with oakum, hung over the bows, and allowed to drip. drop by drop, on the |sea, where it spreads out in a thin, gifea‘sy‘ film over the surface of the watjjer. Over the {ilm the wind slips, as it were, and has no power to bank the water up into [waves- which would break over the ship. Hundreds of reparts are on file in the office, attesting the marvelous results of this simple agent of safety | —Lieut. Charles M. M¢Cartney, in St
