The controversy which arose several
years ago over the relative merits Of
whole roots and piece roots. and long

periments. which have been carried

tensive apple grower in the world, has
also experimental for many years in
the same line. and this bulletin gives
the results reached by him also.
The conclusions arrived AZ are as
follows: Whole root gratis possess no
advantage over piece roots. On the
contrary. unless the whole root stock
Is very hardy. severe winter freeze or
drouth may kali it, Especially is this
true where the graft Is set above

The Kansas City. Fort Scott and
Memphis Railway is now using In its
shops a pneumatic car-painting ma
chine. With the new device freight
car can be painted in one hour. while
by the old method il takes an expert
enced man from two 10 three hours.
Besides saving material and labor,
another great advantage the pneumatic
painter has over the man with "a brush
and can of paint is that it applies the
paint TO the car with uniform thick
ness and with great force. The paint
is driven into the smallest crevice or
hole in the car. and this enables the
painter TO reach points under the car
roof where the man with brush
would be able to make little Roadway.
The new method promises TO take the
place OF hand painting entirely.
