NEW HYDRAULIC PRESS.

inches thick are bored to receive up
right rods, one at each corner. These
rods may be of any desired length up
to five feet and should be about two
inches in diameter. The height should
be- regulated by the size Of the jack
and the class Of work which is to be
accomplished with the aid of the press.
By the use of blocks Of wrought iron
or steel it is possible to regulate with
great ease the distance through which
the pressure is eXerted. The hydraulic
jack may be provided with a gage
which indicates pressures varying
from 1000 to 1000 pounds to the
square inch. 1t would be possible to
make the top and bottom plates Of cast
iron, provided they were REINFORCED
by diagonal ribs.

Natural Gas Fields Exhausted.

Men regarded as experts in the mat
ter of natural gas have contended that
exhausted gas territory would, after a
long rest, yield the fuel again in pay
ing quantities. This theory has receiv-
ed a setback by a test at Kokomo, Ind.
No gas wells have been drilled in Ko-
komo for eight years, and this field has
been looked upon as fair test of the
theory Of revivification. Two weeks
ago a manufacturer of that city began
drilling a well, he having faith that in
the long interval of rest gas had again
accumulated in the gas rock stratum.
The well was finished a week or so
ago, and, to the great disappointment
of the drillers and all concerned, not a
vestige Of gas was found. The flood Of
salt water that rushed up from the hole
did not even bring with it the slightest
smell of gas.-Manufacturer.

rRoUND PLAN AND END VIEW.

tive prices AS a rule, this department
of agriculture has been left to the pro-
fessional trucker, the farmer content
ing himself with working his ground
during the spring and summer and al
lowing it to lie idle during the long
winter months, when fresh vegetables
bring the best prices. One reason for
this neglected opportunity is undoubt-
edly the expensiveness of the strictly
up to date forcing house
But for a large class of semlhardy
vegetables, which find a ready market
at fair prices, a simple and compare
lively inexpensive house will answer
every purpose and will grow success
fully lettuce, radishes, spinach, .pars-
lev, mint, violets and pansies, for all
of which there is a large and growing
winter demand in all our cities and
larger towns.
The house planned and built by the
writer CIV. H. Burbank in Farm and
iFireside) Is about the simplest that can
be devised, being nothing more than
a cold frame so modified as to be easy
of access in all weather and provided
with a small entrance house.
The house proper is 80 feet long and
about IL feet wide, with side walls
inches high. The entrance house is
12 feet by feet, with side walls
feet high above the ground level. 1t
is evident that these dimensions would
give no head room. So the entire floor
of the entrance house is excavated to
a depth of three feet, and a walk two
feet wide and three feet deep is dug
the whole length of the glass house.
This leaves surface beds five feet wide
on each side of the walk. The top soil
may be thrown on these beds and the
!subsoil used for banking up the sides
Of the house. The digging should be
done before the carpentry work is
begun.
The ridgepole Of the forcing house
L. made of by inch stuff, placed six
feet above the middle of the sunken
path and held in place by rafters of
the same stuff. The rafterS on the
north side, as the house runs east and
west, are spaced three feet apart from
center to center. On the south side,
where the sashes are placed, they may
be the width of the frames apart.
Even in so simple a house as this
any of the vegetables or violets and
pansies can be successfully grown in
winter with little or no artificial heat.
II no heat is used. shutters must be
made to protect the sashes during cold
nights. Two or three small oil heaters
will obviate the need of using shut
tiers.
In the late spring the forcing house
is stripped and the beds cultivated,
this open air cultivation making it
possible to use the soil in the beds
for two seasons.
The illustrations will. make the de-
scription plain. The first figure shows
the ground plan of the entrance house
and 4 section of the forcing house.
