Parchment Axle-Box Bearings.

1t is said that experiments have re-
Gently been made on Prussian rail-
ways with axle-boxes fitted with bear
ings of vegetable parchment in place
OF brass. The parchment is strongly
compressed before being used, and 1t
is thoroughly dried to prevent subse-
quent shrinkage An emulsion OF
water and oil, any of the mineral oils,
is used as lubricant. The parchment
soon becomes impregnated with OIL
and is able to go long time without
a renewal of fabrication. 1t is between
the body of the journal and the thin
edge of the parchment segments that
friction takes place. The claim Is
made that the compressed paper bear
ings make tough material that Is
superior to metal. N Y. Post.

STORING POTATOES.
The Best Way and the Best Place to Keep
the Tubers.


Potatoes can be stored in pits or in
the cellar or clubhouse, but in either
case should be free from dirt and dry.
Concerning the former method it is
said: Sometimes they are covered care
lessly and in slipshod manner, with
first thin layer of straw, and to COM
pensate for this deficiency in straw,
foot of dirt is heaped upon them out
side. The moisture and foul air which
slowly accumulates in winter is held by
this thick layer Of earth, and 1t rises
to the upper point of the conical heap
and causes decay of the tubers, which
is mistakenly ascribed to the freezing OF
this apparently most exposed part A
much better way is to use plenty
of straw and less earth. A farmer
who never lost one bushel in so in
his winter-stored potatoes outdoors,
made it a rule to put on the heap
one foot of compact straw with only
three or four inches of evenly laid
earth to hold it in position. Ventilat-
ing holes were made with a crowbar at
the apex. and filled with whisps OF
straw. He found it safe to place as
many as seventy bushel in heaps thus
treated. The thick mass of straw not
only served as protection against frost,
but acted as an excellent absorbent OF
bad moisture.
In the cellar or outhouse-being
clean and dry, they may be placed on a
broad Slated floor on the north CT cool
side of an clubhouse, so situated that the
air can circulate freely from below
and pass up through the potatoes. They
should not be placed in too large masses
so as to obstruct ventilation. Crops
which would rot badly in wet ground,
would not seriously suffer If properly
treated in this way. In some unfavor-
able seasons, when more than half the
crop was ruined by rotting when dug.
the selected and sound remainder, thor
oughly cleaned and placed on such slat-
ted floor, has nearly or entiraly ceased
to decay, SO that not one bushel In thirty
has suffered. 1t is very important,
however, that the work be done thor
oughly and in the best manner, for ii
carelessly performed. it would be Of
comparatively little use.-Boston Globe.

VALUE oF ENslLAdg.
Testimony in Favor of the Practice Fur
nisIled BY An Ohio Farmer.

nished by An Ohio Farmer.
The following experience in regard
to ensilagc adds more testimony in fa-
vor of this practice. 1t Ia an Ohio
farmer who thus relates what he knows
about it,
my farm is an experiment station
for myself, on which items OF interest
are carefully noted, and any informa-
ton can render to visitors will be
cheerfully given. have no doubt that
nine-tenths Of tho visitors who come
here and see how ensilage Is used on
these farms, will go away almost per-
suaded' to try and get out Of the old rub
OF feeding cattle. Several OF my neigh
bors within few miles OF my farm,
who have seen for them selves how
have grown enough ensilage and beets
on IA IL acres OF land-one acre OF
which was beets-to feed some rs head
OF Jersey cattle and horses from No
vember 8 to July 80, have become so
enthusiastic in the matter OF cheap
food as to build silos this year, and
thus avoid in the future purchasing hay
at market rates. Two men are erect
ing silos of $50 tons capacity, which
will be filed from the product of Is to
Is acres Of land. Had these men de-
pended upon hay crop this season.
that amount OF land In meadow would
have given them about % tons OF hay,
or sufficient to feed about 10 good sized
cows six months wharaaa tho amelia ra
crop will sustain their 60 head OF cattle
and horses from November until June 1,
when their pastures will get good
start, and after that date they can have
enough to feed half ration every
morning until August"
A few farmers who have tried it for
the first time, and have made mistakes
for want OF experience, have Lost faith
in it, but there has not been one failure
in hundred cases, which speaks we'll
for the value of the silo.-M Y. Times

How Letters Are Disinfected. y

Letters from stricken sections are
fumigated in a novel way, so that
there is little or no chance for the dis
ease being brought Northward. The
letters are stopped when they reach
the quarantine lines. Each letter is
put under a machine with long arm
attached, and this is provided with lit
tie teeth punctured at the ends. A
powder that is used for fumigating
purposes is forced through the arm
and down through the teeth. The
arm comes down on each letter, and
while the little teeth are perforating
the letter, the powder is blown in be-
tween the sheets, disinfecting the let
ter thoroughly. Then it is forwarded
to the person to whom it is addressed.
Some complaint has been heard of
damage to letters, but so long as they
remain legible little Disagreement
should be welcomed as a proof of
protection. -Ameracdn analyst.
