Tacoma. June 1.-The Foreman tunnel
on the Northern Pacific was opened again

10 line the tunnel with brick and concrete
but no sooner was the burned tirnbsrs and
fallen earth removed 50 that work trains
could enter than the fire burst forth anew.
and this was followed by two cave-.ns.
which further complicated matters. Since
the flames first broke out trains have
crossed the mountain on an overhead
track. Work trains are now able to go
through the tunnel. and in few days

Interesting experiments in electro-hor-
ticulture are being conducted at several
of the experiment. stations, different sys-
TENS being tested. One Of these is the
direct application Of electricity, fur
nished by dynamo, to the plant itself
and to the soil in which it grows An
other is the distribution Of atmospheric
electricity among plants by similar
method Still other tests are being made
with both arc and incandescent electric
lights for supplying sunlight, so to
speak, at night
At the Ithaca IN. ~ experiment
station Professor Bailey, by aid Of elec-
trio lights burned all night in green
houses. forces plants to do both day work
and night work. Sunlight as we'll as at
mosphere and water is necessary for a
plants development. The electric light
resembles sunlight in it's composition
more than does any other artificial light.
Artificial lights are found to produce
much the same effect upon plants as
does sunlight, only in smaller degree.

We consider the Star Woven Wire
Fence Machine as shown above, deserv-
ing of special mention and for the reason
that the sale Of it pushed as it has been
by the manufacturers, Messrs. Kitsel-
man Bros, Ridgeville. Indiana, has done
more in recent years to enable the farm.
ers of this country to get their fencing
at the actual cost of the wire than all
other fence manufacturers in the coun-
try because they figure and show how
cheap the various styles of fence can be
made, or what the actual cost of the wire
Is to make them while those who make
and sell the fence must add the cost OF
labor and their profit to the actual cost
of the wire. The manufacturers claim
to be able to sell machine and enough
wire to make 100 rods of the best Woven
Wire Fence on earth, horse high, bull
strong and pig tight, for the same money
that will buy 100 rods of any good woven
wire fence on the market. In the one
case you have the fence alone. In the
other you not only have the fence but
machine which enables you to be your
own fence manufacturer and with
which you can make over fifty different
styles including several styles of orna'
mental yard or lawn fences. To show
how the farmers of this country appre-
ciate this machine it is only necessary
to say that of all the machines sold by
this firm were run for twenty days, each
machine making forty rods per day, they
would make enough fence to 60 around
the world, being anraverage of 400, 900
rods or.1, $50 miles day. If all of the
machines were run only sixty days dur
ing the year, making forty rods per day
each, they would make a grand total o
100000 rods, which would make an
average of 76,8OO rods or 24O miles for
every working day in the year. The
com ined product of all the Loom Fence
factories in the United States would not
equal this. Send for their large illus

Effects of Tile Drainage.

S. M. Tracy Of the Mississippi STA
ton, in his report on the effects Of tile
drainage, says: ''The station fields
which have been tile drained have in
creased their annual yield fully 80 per
cent as a result Of the work. These
drains were also found to be profit
able investment on all soils which re-
main wet until late in the spring on ac-
count of their compact subsoil, or which
are rendered heavy and sour by con-
tinued seepage from surrounding hill
lands.
