New knowledge About Car Couplers.

The idea that it was necessary to have
certain amount of loose play between tho
cars composing long train, in order to start
the train easily, had become by practice and
theory almost as fixed in the minds of rail
way people as is the geometrical axiom that
two parallel lines can never meet. The
theory was, by starting one car first, and SO
gaining Il little inertia, then the next rand
so on, it was made possible for an engine to
start and haul long train Of given weight
when, if there were no play, the engine
would be stalled and unable to start the train.
But the fallacy of the practice and the
theory was conclusively established during
the remarkable series Of car coupler expert
ments made by the Master Car Builders as
sociation, at Burlington, Iowa, this year.
During these trials it was demonstrated be-
yond all question that it required less power
to start q train with all the couplings tight
than to pull the train after the train was put
III motion; and the coupler committee came
to tho conclusion that the coupler OF the
future ought to be an approved form OF the
close hook style-Scientific American.

New England Farmer.
Tho use Of Psris green in orchards for the
destruction Of insects which lnjure fruit and
foliage has been discussed quite freely It
several of the agricultural conventions tne past
few months. Paris green seems 20 be coming
into use in some sections IS much in the orchard
as in the potato field. Some who have applied
il without due caution have killed the foliage
and occasionally . cow or horse. Such poisons
rs Paris green should not be lett round care
lessly exposed to animals or children who are
not informed Of its nature.
Some persons are doubtless unnecessarily
fearful of having it applied in the garden or
field. There are those who have ATTEMPTED to
discard from their tables all potatoes which
have been protected by the use OF the poison,
but the green is now used so universally on all
the least injury to the tubers that the fear 10
pretty we'll overcome. 1t has been found that
for potatoes a mixture of pure Paris green and
plaster at the rate Of one pound OF the former
to 200 or 300 pounds of plaster is moro effective
than II tho proportion OF the green Is greater.
II the green 10 put on in too large proportion
the insects will reject leaves upon which IL lies;
while II the green is extended 300 times the
leaves will be eaten more rapidly and thus more
of the poison will be taken, though in
very small doses. But il eaten in however small
quantity the effect seems fatal. In spraying
fruit trees with Paris green swater. q Connect
cut man applied il strong enough to destroy the
insects on the foliage, Yet his horse feeding no
on the grass underneath the trees was not
poisoned.
There 10 little doubt that cattle might eat po-
tato vines which had been poisoned enough 70
destroy the beetle without being themselves
poisoned. So, too. potatoes in gardens may
have the green applied In . windy day, and peas
and beans growing near got slight doses with
out causing persons eating these vegetables to
be poisoned. yet it 10 hardly safe to utser such
statements because Of the danger that some
one will act too venturesome or fool-hardy In its
use. Poisons OF this nature like fire are good
friends, but by negligence may become among
our greatest foes.
