increasing Utilization of Wind

Power.
DR.. Frank Waldo has called atten-
ton to the great extension in the use
Of Windmills in the United States.
One firm sold over 10000 wind wheels
last year. The total number Of
wheels in use is upward Of 1000, 900,
and the annual increase is put at a
minimum Of $4,000. The uses to
which wind wheels are put are nu-
merous. Probably the most import
ant at the present time is the working
Of water pumps and the raising Of
water, either for storage, domestic
purposes or Irrigation. It is also SUI
perseding horsepower on farms for
cutting wood and fodder and for
churning and grinding grain. 1t is be-
lieved that the utilization of wind
power by means of wheels as a pump
ing force will be the main instrument
in irrigating and thus retaining the
arid regions of the West. The most
important use Of wind wheels in the
future will probably be the accumula-
ton Of electric energy. This applica-
ton will be expedited by some notable
improvements now in progress IN the
storage Of electricity. In Texas, where
the wind wheel has done good service.
a 12-foot diameter wheel is said to
have raised from $4,000 to LOCO gal.
Ions Of water per month to q height Of
so feet. In Wisconsin 4 1O-foot wheel
raised so barrels Of water per day to
a height of 80 feet. In Iowa 1O-foot
wheel raised water 40 feet in suf1-
Gent quantity for 300 cattle. A l8-
foot wheel ins Missouri has ground 20
barrels Of corn In one hour, and 10
foot wheel In Nebraska raises 1000
gallons Of water per day to a height
Of 10 feet DR.. Waldo suggests that
the government should undertake ex-
detrimental work to determine what
can be accomp lished by using wind as
q motor in any region OF the United
States In which wind observations
have been made.

Electric Flash Tor Night CLOCK

Electr1c Flash Tor Night Clock
Electric lighting by means Of prl-
mary batteries may be considered, for
practical purposes, as impossible, but
for intermittent lighting, say for a
minute OF two, primary battery may
be used with most satisfactory results.
The accompanying Illustration shows
an apparatus in which a primary bat
terry serves to illuminate a watch dur
ing the night, for which service the
arrangement is distinctly serviceable.
The apparatus is untitled, however, for
it's use as reading lamp, and it must
be understood that it is only useful for
intermittent purposes. If carefully
used set will last several months
without requiring fresh materials. The
apparatus usually consists of four or
six cells, the contents of which, being

Experiment With Seed.

The seed largely influences the yield
An Ohio farmer planted two kinds of
potatoes OH soil of the same character,
and gave the several potatoes (only a
few being used for experiment. the
same treatment. From one lot he pro-
cured fifteen pounds of tubers of in
ferior quality, and from the other he
secured forty-fve pounds, or three
times as much from one as the other.
There was no reason whatever for any
difference in the yields except that the
seed Of the more prolific was better
than the other 5'.EtEt.s.

The Best Use of Bran.

Bran is much more highly thought Of
as food than it used to be. But it has
it's limitations, and should not be re-
lied on entirely when fed alone. It is
an excellent food to give animals that
ways form a part Of the ration Of fat
have surfeit of corn, and should al
tening sheep. 1t is not so good for
hogs, as it's coarse texture makes it
unpalatable. But fine wheat middlings
have all the excellencies of bran, and
will be eaten in greater quantities by
fattening hogs. The bran and wheat
middlings furnish greater proportion
of albuminoids than corn has, and,
therefore, supplement it's deficiencies.
Wheat bran is an excellent Alternative
for horses fed on timothy hay in win
ter. 1t will keep their digestion good,
and will be all the better if table
spoonful Of old-process oil meal is
added to each mess. Wheat middlings
are not so laxative as bran, and are
BETTER therefore, for horses that have
to work hard, though both the bran
and middlings contain much Of the nu-
triment that builds UP bone and mus.
Gle and increases strength.

Rory Milk or Cream

In a recently published translation Of
the celebrated work On "Dairy Bac-
tericlogy'' by DR.. E: Won Freudenreich,
there is a description of some Of the
organism which are known to produce
ropiness in milk. Prof. Freudenreich
mentions no less than twelve species
Of bacteria which are known to pro-
duce Shiny milk. These organisms
have. been found in milk which had
become Shiny. But as to their origin,
Of only three can it be said with GER
tainty how they came into the milk
and whence they came. One was
found in water, one in an inflamed I'D
der and the other ON the leaves of but
terworth Pingnicula vulgaris). AS to-
the source of the other varieties known
to psychologists, nothing is said, and
little is known. Freudenreich himself,
speaking of this disease of milk, so
far as he has studied it in Switzerland,
writes: ''Stringiness is but rarely to
be referred to disease Of the udder, be-
ing almost always a fault due to in.
lection during and after milking"
