More Steam Knines Csert Now Than
J'Jver Before.
The use of the steam engine is in
creasing faster to-day than ever before.
Many mammoth industrial plauts are
exclusively engaged in building steam
boilers and engines, and it is the proud
boast of one of these, the Atlas Engine
Works, of Indianapolis, that it aver
ages a complete boiler and engine outfit
of fifty horse-power every thirty min
utes of the working day.
When the visitor to their plant has
gone through two or three of their
great warehouses, and emerges upon a
boiler yard of twenty acres, he won
ders where upon earth use can be
found for all the boilers and engines.
But, if be will watch the loading
process, lie will see some ten or twelve
trainloads per day go out, labeled for
destinations all over the world, and
will gain some notion of the magnitude
of tiie world's work. Then, when he is
told that this one concern, leviathan of
the trade though it is, does not produce
ten per cent, of the world's output of
steam boilers and engines, he will be
gin to realize how vast is the produc
tiou and consumption of steam power
throughout the world.
The product of.this one plant, which
builds every type and size of horizontal
steam engine, affords an interesting
study of mechanical evolution. The
balanced slide-valve, the shaft gov
ernor, the rotating, or Corliss valves,
seif-oiling devices, componud cylinders
and direct connected shafts are only
the more visible improvements. The
built-up connecting rod. the removable
bearings, improved piston construction,
stronger and lighter designs of bed,
more intelligent designing of ail recip
rocating parts, better selection of ma
terials and more accurate workman
ship throughout are some of the things
that differentiate the engine of to-day
from that of half a century ago.
The changes in boiler .construction
have not been so numerous, but they
have been quite as marked. In the out
put of this one concern can be found
every size and type of boiler, from the
little horizontal tubular of fifteen
horse-power, to the new Atlas water
tube, which purifies its own water,
superheats its own steam and gives the
highest efficiency yet accomplished in
boiler construction.

When iron bridges first began to
displace wooden structures, the
change was made largely" in the inter,
est of durability. This faith in the
permanence of iron as compared with
wood has been justified in a measure,
but The Engineering Record notes
the fact that the oldest bridges in the
country have been those built of tim
ber, explaining that this is true only
In rare cases where the life of the
structure has not been affected by tho
increase of moving loads. The par
tial failure of iron bridges .which were
expected to have 'practically indefinite
length of years, has been due noc only
to the great increase of moving rail
way loads, but to defects in the earlier
designs. The life of iron railway

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANTER. STOCKMAN ANO TRUCK GROWER.
Dewberry Culture.
Select good, healthy, well matured
plants.
Select rather poor soil, or mixed soil
is best. A rich, deep soil is all right
for "blackberries, but dewberries will
bear two or three times as many large,
fine berries on their natural kind of
soil, clay or clay , mixed. .
Plant eighteen inches apart in rows
and rows four feet apart in well pre
pared soil. '
Plow and hoe sufficient to keep land.
clean.
Trimming is very important. First
year continue to clip ends of yines off
when ten or twelve inches long. Con
tinue this through first summer, which
makes a round or bushy plant, thick
with firm fruit buds which will bear a
good paying crop the next year after
setting out. s Now note this carefully
when blooms are dropping and fruit
begins to form clip off the new sprouts
on the plants four or five inches from
the ground or crown of plants, which
will be from eight to twelve inches
long at this time. Do this twice while
fruit is groAving and ripening, as it
keeps this growth out of the way of
the pickers and causes so much more
substance to go into the fruit. Then,
soon after fruit is gathered, clip out
all vines that bore fruit close to crown,
and each season keep the plants round
ed up same as. first year, remembering
to hoe and plow sufficient to keep land
I around plants clean. In early spring
each year, should you find thepa too
bushy, thin out and clip back if some
are too long. Planting on clay or mixed
soil, close planting (eighteen inches in
row and rows four feet apart), close
trimming and clean culture are the
special features in dewberry culture.
I advise close planting because the
close pruning is necessary. The. roots
penetrate straight down very deep in
the soil, hence are not broken to cause
suckers to come up like blackberries
do. It is all right to work a medium
sized ridge up to the row of plauts, and
it would be all right to scatter some
straw around under plants to keep ber
ries cleaner. Dewberries throw up
fruit stems, some of them six to eight
inches long; also the bush system of
training guards against dirt on the
fruit. I have tried trellising and also
growing in grass, and have tried cut
ting off plants to' top of ground soon
after harvesting crop, but have not
found any system of culture to com
pare Avith the above system, gained
from seventeen years' experience with
dewberrie's. J. W. Austin, Pilot Point,
Texas.
Preparlne For Peacli Orchard.
If the land is fresh and has just been
cleared, it should be cultivated at least
twro years in cotton or some other
crop adapted to the locality. Should
this neAV land be too rich for peaches,
the fertility should be reduced- by
planting corn or some other exhaustive
crop for a year. If it is old and worn
out, it should be restored to a state of
fertility before setting out the trees.'
The land should be broken up to the
proper depth with a two-horse plow,
followed Avith a subsoiler if necessary.
Crimson clover, cowpeas, potatoes or
other crops Avhich will require fertiliza
tion are excellent as cover crops to
turn under.
After the land has received the
proper plowing and subsoiling, I rec
ommend broadcasting or drilling in
peas in May, using one bushel to the
acre; loO to 200 pounds of good fertiliz
er per acre .will materially increase the
growth. In February or March I break
up the pea vines by running over the
ground with a cutaway harrow, then
turn under AA'ith a good turn plow. As
the depth of the top soil has been in
creased, the land can be plowed to a
greater depth than at the previous
plowing. I subsoil again, if necessary,
and in November the land is ready for
the orchard.
Another excellent mode of prepara
tion is to sow crimson clover in Sep
tember, first broadcasting with stable
manure or applying good commercial
manure. The clover is plowed under
in May and peas sown. All peach
lands should be thoroughly and deeply
plowed, because after the' trees are
planted, and are in growth, they cah
not be plowed deeply. All places in
the orchard Avhere the top soil has been
washed away should receive careful
and special attention: such places are
devoid of humus. This must be sup
plied by a liberal application of stable,
manure or compost. Teas or clover,
which must be plowed under in March,
should folloAv in two years by treating
as above mentioned; these depleted
parts of the orchard can be -made very
fertile.
The land is checked off at the proper
distances Avith a good tAVO-horse turn
plow. At the intersections holes tAvo
feet square are dug; the top soil is
thrown to one side. I use a liberal
amount of Avell decomposed stable ma
nure in each hole, and have this thor
oughly incorporated with the soil. If
table manure is not available, then

use from one to two pounds bone meal,
or the same quantity of a mixture of
two parts acid phosphate to one cotton
seed meal. When using chemical fer
tilizers the best results are obtained
by first setting the tree, filling up the
hole one-half its depth, and then ap
plying the fertilizer, but mixing it
thoroughly with the soil. The earth
must be firmed well about the roots
of the tree and leveled off.
After the trees have put out f growth
of one and one-half to two inches, I
rub off all but three growths, sa dis
tributed that the tree will be well bal
anced. The early rubbing off cannot
be too thoroughly emphasized; a great
saving of time is effected by rubbing
off before the young growth becomes
too tough. The trees should be gone

to remove all superfluous growth. If

We are asked to tell of the way of
fl'enttnc hnnsp in whir-li moat- L-nrvf
to prevent the depredations of insects.
Of course the windows are to be
closely screened to keep insects enter
ing from without.
Whitewash the walls and so have all
the crevices filled. Keep the floors
clean.
The mature insects that have already
entered the building may be killed by
fumigating with phyrethrum cr to
bacco. It is advised that this be done "by
closing up the rooms tightly in the
evenings after work." Then a suffi
cient quantity of pyrethrum or to
bacco should be burned on live coals
to completely fill the place with the
fumes.
What has been so charged is to be
"left tightly closed anywhere from
eight to twenty-four hours. At the
end of this time the full-grown insects
will be dead, but the maggots will not.
and so it will be necessary to repeat
the operation two or three times, at
intervals of a week at lost, this to
prevent the laying of more eggs, and
the consequences of hatching."
The bisulphide of carbon is used for
this sort of fumigation; . "but it must
be used at a time when there is no
lire on the premises. When it is em
ployed the house should be left closed
for twelve hours at least, and.it ought
then 1o be aired until no trace of the
odor remains before fires are again
introduced." Home and Fa nil.
r'lanti nir Trees.
No hard and fast rule can be given
for planting distances, because the
vigor of growth A-aries with different
varieties and the kind and coudition of
the soil must be considered, as a
strong, vigorous growing variety when
planted in extra good soil Avill even
tually crowd much Avorse than Aveak
growing or dwarfish variety on thin
land.
We have nearly always made the
mistake a very common one of plant
ing too close, and a still Avorse practice
has been the planting of peach trees
as a 'filler'' between apple trees. The
peaches start off so much faster and
their roots extend in every direction
so rapidly that the slower growing
apple trees are seriously retarded in
their growth, and I believe are injured
to such an extent that they never fully
recover from this starving and dwarf
ing of their earlier years.
GroAAers of nursery stock should give
more explicit directions as to planting,
and more fully explain1 the habits of
growth of different varieties of the
same class of trees.
If directions in catalogues read
"plant thirty to forty feet apart" for
a certain kind of tree, the greater dis

The Secret of (Jood Farmliigj.
We readily recognize quality and its
value in men. We call it character.
Why not acknowledge, the same Avheii
Ave have to do Avith the various phases
of farming?
Quality what is it?
The first attribute of' success' in all
things. It is the best seed cotton ob
tainable. It is seed corn selected from
the best and most prolific stalks. It is
soil Avell tilled, improved by culture,
legumes and cover crops.
It is the cow with milk or beef form,
which earns a living and pays her
owner well for her care and trouble.
It is the hog broad over back and
shoulders, deep in the sides and fine in
bone, legs and head. Quality is' every
phase of soil or crop, or animal. It is
the best obtainable for our environ
ments and conditions.
Finally, quality is the good farmer;
the man who reads. avIio studies, ex
periments; the man Avho believes in
his work and feels honored by it.
Quality is the good farmer. C. W.
