Establishing Model Farms.

FROM the Cn1cdSO fOet.
The attention that soil culture is receiv-
ing in the west has determined the Burl-
ington Railroad Company to establish a
number of experimental stations, or model
FARMS In Kansas and Nebraska, in order
to demonstrate the advantage of the most
improved methods of soil culture, and to
lead the farmers of Nebraska and Kansas
to new efforts in this direction and enable
them to become Independent, even in So
called ''drouth sections and dry years"
Incidentally the company expects returns
from its investments in increased and regu-
lar crops, necessitating heavy freight and
passenger traffic.
John Francis has just returned from a
trip over Nebraska and Kansas, where he
has established model farms at Oberlin.
Kan, and at McCook Holdredge, Alma and
Broken Bow, Neb. The farms consist of
forty acres in each station, under the i'm
mediate supervision of practical and tried
farmer of the neighborhood. Each farm
will be visited frequently by one of the
learned corps of professors, under Professor
Campbell. all of whom are skilled in the
new method. Nebraska and Kansas farm
staples-corn. wheat, rye, oats and potatoes
will be produced.

COPPER PLATING SHIPS HULLS.
Iron Ships to BE Placed in an Elec-
tric Bath.

Iron Ships to BE Placed in an Elec-
tric Bath.
From the Philadelphla Times
new departure in the sheathing of ves-
sells is to be undertaken in this country,
and the future cruisers and battleships
made for the United States navy will prob
ably be copper-sheathed, according to the
new process of electroplating. Experiments
have been going on for many years to cleo
tropate with copper the hulls of iron or
steam vessels, and the results obtained now
justify the general adoption of a process of
protection that can be called purely Ameri-
can. An electric plant has been established
at Jersey City by the Ship Copper Pla ting
Company, and the seagoing tug Assistance
was treated to the new process ex-
pertinent. She has stood the test so we'll
tnat, after a year, she has hull nearly as
free from all defects caused by corrosion
and sea animals as when first launched.
Copper sheathing has been adopted by
ship-buiders of all the leading countries
for years and it has always proved the
best protection to the hulls that could be
devised, but rust and corrosion finds its
way between the copper plates in time,
and starts up openings that eventually de-
stroy the ships bottom or necessitates the
costly work of resheathing it.
The old way was to plate the bottom of
the ship carefully from stem to stern with
stout wood, and then coat this with sheath
vessel in a bath of copper sulphate, into
which an electric current is passed. Liquid
tight compartments are made to fit firmly
upon the sides and bottom of the hull and
when filled with a solution Of the copper
the four anodes are placed through an
opening in the top. These constitute the
positive pole, and the iron hull acts as the
negative. A film of copper without seams
or breaks gradually forms on the bottom
Of the ship, and in forty-eight hours this
air-tight sheathing Is one-sixteenth of an
to the hull that 1t cannot be removed with
out cutting into it with sharp Instruments
and even then it has become so welded to
the iron that the two cannot always be
separated
The value of this unbroken surface of
copper plating can be readily understood
when some of the injuries to the bottom
Of iron vessels are examined. The old
method of copper sheathing added SO much
to the weight of the vessels that the naval
advisory board in 1882 refused to have the
hulls of the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and
Dolphin sheathed. In the case of the Chi
cago it was estimated that 255 tons would
be added to the weight Of the vessel, and
100 tons would be added to both the Boston
and Atlanta. Pursuing this same policy of
keeping the vessels light and buoyant on
the water and thereby gaining additional
speed, the department refused to have any
of the subsequent war vessels copper
sheathed. AS result none of our war yes
age Of the ships of the English, French
German and Russian navies have their
bottoms protected in this way. BY the
new process of electroplating the weight
added to the vessels amounts only to 9 IS
pounds to the square foot.
