Acuuittal of Lieut.. Fisk.

First Lieutenant Asa F. Fisk, 35th Vol
unteer Infantry, was recently tried by
court-martial in the department of north
ern Luzon, p. l., on charges of conduct to
the prejudice of good order and military
discipline and absence from his station
without leave. Specifications in the case
alleged that Lieutenant Fisk permitted
certain enlisted men Of the 35th Infantry
under his command to commit pillage at
the Barrio of Bonga Major, in the province
of Bulacan, Luzon. in August last; that he
left his station without notifying his regi-
mental commander or the commanding gem
eral of his department and that he also
made a false official report when called
upon to explain his absence without leave.
Lieutenant Fisk was acquitted of both
charges and has been restored to duty.

j. L. Browns mill, which Is on the
Midway nurseries, near Kearney, Is
one OF low cost, Out of old grocery
boxes he made the fans and the box,
and the gaspipe axis cost him S1.5O.
What could such mill as this do?
Well, 1t pumped enough to irrigate his
garden through killing season of
drought, and kept his strawberry patch
and his small fruit from death. Pretty
good Investment for $1.50 In fact.
Brown has figured out that the profit
from that little mill during three pretty
tough times Of drought exceeds that of
the whole farm In three ordinary sea-
sons.
The regulation jumbo mill Is set per-
manently to face the north or south
and thus catch the force of the prevail
ing winds. But when the winds blow
from another direction these mills
would be of no use, so this difficulty is
overcome by putting up universal
Jumbos, which are set on a screw, and
which will turn with the wind in any
quarter. Sometimes, too, jumbos are
set up In pairs, quartering the compass,
and with such an inexpensive machine
1t Is easy to do this. The merry-go
rounds look like huge side wheels of
steamers set horizontally on towers.
In the general class of turbine mills
are included the Holland mills, the bat
tleax mills, with two, four. six and
eight fans; the giant battleax, the mock
turbine-the fixed revolving, with and
without rudders-and the reconstruct
ed turbines, which last named usually
are the shop-made ones which have
been injured and are bought cheaply
and repaired.
The battleax mill gets its name from
its resemblance in the arms and the
blade to the ax. Like the Jumbo, 1t u.s.
ually Is set In a north and south posi-
ton, and as the prevailing winds of
Nebraska are from these points Of the
compass, 1t Is seldom that these mills
cannot be used. The axis of this mill
may be Of wood, gaspipe, shafting or
an iron rod. The battleax mill of J. A.
Carroll near Overton. cost $25-more
AN the average, because 1t has thir-
barrel tank connected with It, Near
>,rand Island, Diedrich Huennecke
spent S14 on battleax mill and tank.
The fans of the mill are fixed In the
driving parts of an old thresher, and

American Beef In Scotland.

Owing to the scarcity of beef cattle
and fat sheep in the country, and the
consequent rise In price, very large sup
plies of American beef are finding their
way all over the country. Edinburgh
butchers, who, as a rule, decidedly pre-
fer the home article, have Of late been
forced to procure supplies from Liver
pool and Glasgow of port-killed States
beef. In addition, the chilled beef
agencies in the city have been selling
large quantities of American-killed
beef. A Chicago company is doing
very considerable trade in a high-class
grade of beef. They have already es-
tablished forty agencies In the United
Kingdom. The supplies coming into
Edinburgh for last week are phenom-
email, bearing in mind always that this
city has been in the past particularly
independent of foreign supplies of beef
and mutton. Upward of 400 quarters
of chilled beef have gone into consump-
ton, and, In addition, like quantity,
viz, 200 sides port-killed, all Of Ameri-
can origin. Supplies of frozen mutton
continue about an average of $50 car
casses. mainly from the Argentine Re
public

placed as low as 81 or $5, below which
the minimum, it would seem. scarcely
could go. the maximum that has been
put into the construction of such mills
sometimes Is as much as $3.50. A mill
at this price will have ut least eight
horsepower and will grind from 200 to
300 bushels of grain day.
The Nebraska home made mill seems
to classify itself into six types. Begin
mig with the lowest type and going
up, there is the Jumbo, the Merry Gos
Round, the Battle AK, the Holland Mill,
the Mock Turbine and the Recon-
structed Turbine While farmers may
be rather particular what material
they put into the higher cost machine,
for those of the lower class no kind of
stuff lying around the barn Is too mean
TO find some use. Old lumber lath,
shingles, split rails, old packing boxes,
barrel staves, coffee sacks, tin from old
tin roofs. the gearing from old now
ers-there is scarcely an odd and end
that does not have use in the home
made mill.
For $3.70 w. w. Her of HaveloclS
made baby jumbo, which pumps not
only water enough for his stock, but
supplies his boarding house with all the
water needed. 1t has four fans, each
three feet long and arms two and one
half feet long, and Is mounted on six
teen-foot tower
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1900-01-31

whole State stands on farm near 4
Gothenburg. 1t Is made merely of
wagon wheel attached by its axle to a
barn. To the spokes are fastened
blades. This contrivance pumps all the
water needed for the barn. Still an
other mill Is two-fan turbine. and Is
made from an old mower. Near Grand
Island, Fred Mathiesen built mill, the
driving parts of which were taken from
an old self binder. 1t waters his stock,
and yet the cost was under $5.
BY putting q rudder on mill the
arms can be made to swing around and
stand In the wind. and by putting
mill within tower instead Of upon II,
the chance of destruction through be-
ing blown down by the high winds Is
lessened greatly. One of the queerest
mills Is that of farmer named Boer-
son, who lives near Grand Island. He
took the sprocket wheel and fly wheel
of a cornsheller and at a cost of 81 put
together a contrivance that pumps
enough water for sixty head of cattle.
Another odd and ingenious bit Of
mechanism is a reconstructed aermotor
that cost practically nothing, yet.
pumps for the house, lawn, garden and
a small fruit orchard, bringing up 27O
gallons of water an hour In a fifteen
and one-half mile wind. Then there is
the "toy" water mill of A. G. Walker,
a civil engineer which pumps G, ,4S0 gal
Ions Of water in twenty-four hours.
Near Kearney was an abandoned mill
and storage reservoir. The mill was
fixed at slight cost, bits of broken-up
boxes were nailed to the arms and the
whole thing worked as well as it did in
its better days.
To shop-made mills and even to the
better class Of homemade can be at
tached wires, by which the power can
be transmitted several hundred feet to
where 1t Is needed Sometimes the mill
is set at the house, and its energy is d.
rected so that 1t will run the pump at
the barn-in fact, the Nebraska farm
er's ways of utilizing these homemade
contrivances are endless.
