MOTOR WHEEL ATTACHED TO LIGHT WAGON.
gasoline tanks are carried on the other
fork The wheel is driven through a
loosely mounted pinion, which meshes
into a gear that is bolted to the spokes
of the wheel and a clutch mechanism,
the lever for operating which is within
easy reach of the driver of the wagon.
The two cylinders are carried horizon
tally, one on each side of the fork, with
the crank shaft, upon which is keyed
f1ywheel between them. The motor
wheel is built in various sizes, from
one horsepower. suitable to bicycle
up to four horsepower for a carriage
or ten or more horsepower for heavy
dray truck. In attaching the motor
wheel to any existing vehicle it is mere
ly necessary to remove the framework
of the front wheels and bolt the steer
ing socket to the body of the wagon.
When the motor wheel is applied to a
light vehicle, it is attached in front,
thus transforming the same into tri-
cycle. In the case Of hanson cabs it is
attached at the rear. When it is ap-
piled to the heavier vehicles, such as
express wagons. coal carts, etc, two
idle wheels are attached to the motor
wheel and work in unison with it.
One material advantage claimed for
this system is that no reversing mech
aniSm is necessary, the motor always
running in the forward direction. If it
is desired to back the car. the motor
wheel is turned completely around in
the steering socket and the motor start
ed. 1t will be noticed that as the mo-
tor wheel is entirely self contained and
has single. point of attachment to the
car none of the twisting strains due to
the irregularity of the road are thrown
upon the motor. Moreover, in case of
disa Element of car or motor the ease
with which a change of motor wheels
from one car to another can be made
coDduces to facility and rapidity of re-
pairs.

Brief Mention.

Every pineapple plant is almost sure
| to produce from four to six suckers
every year These suckers when sep
arated make strong, vigorous plants
for next years crop.
Florida tobacco growers will irrigate

According to the department Of agri-

Ehy the United States should not grow

any reason why the United States
should not become an exporter Of rice.
The popularity of rape as feed for

The ArfichOke.

The artichoke ranks as one of the
best and most profitable crops for win
ter hog pastures in the south. The
tubers may be cut in small pieces for
planting, as is done with Irish pota-i
toes. and about the same amount of
''seed" per acre is required. They are
planted in the same manner and re-.
quire the same cultivation as the Irish
potato. The tuberS make very little
growth before October and do not be-
come thoroughly matured before De-
cember. The yield is larger than that
of any other root crop. being ordinari
ly from 400 to 600 bushels per acre.
while double those yields are secured
under specially good conditions. When
the crop is fully matured, few rows
should be plowed out to secure "seedv
for spring planting, and this should
be buried like potatoes. When the
field is turned over to the hogs, enough
of the tubers will be left in the ground
to restock the field, but as the hogs
will leave the ground very rough and
uneven and the plants will be so irreg-
ular that they cannot be cultivated it
is much better to pillow the entire field
in the spring and replant in regular
rows, so claims very good authority.

Gypsy Moths.

Gypsy moths were introduced to
America in 1869, but the insect is still
confined to a limited area in Massa-
chusetts near Boston. The first gypsy
moths were brought over by Professor
Trouvelot, the French savant, who
was interested in trying to raise silk
from native worms, and how they es-
capped is unknown. Twelve years from
that time the moth was a nuisance in
the neighborhood. In 1889 occurred the
famous moth outbreak at Medford
Mass. Armies of worms suddenly ap-
peared that June and July and SEEM
ed about to destroy everything green.
They gathered in masses sufficient to
blacken houses and fences in certain
districts and devastated all sorts of
foliage over extensive tracts, killing
many trees, and the dropping of the
caterpillars on people and sidewalks
was most disagreeable. The streets
were awful, and the destruction of the
trees was greatest in those localities
where the moth had been the longest.
Frequently the trees sustained attacks
for two or three years. The caterpil-
lars destroyed not only the foliage and
trees, but also fruit and vegetables.
When the supply of leaves from the
trees fell short, they attacked the gar
dens. Many vegetables were ruined,
flower gardens were destroyed, and
even greenhouses were invaded. At
the close of the year 1899 the state of
Massachusetts has expended in the an
nual appropriation for the gypsy moth
work the sum of 81, 555, 900.

MOTOR WAGON WHEEL.
LATEST AND MOST ORIGINAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THE .
AUTOMOBILE IDEA.

One Of the latest and most original
developments Of the automobile is a
motor wheel which has recently been
patented by ]. w. Walters, says The
Scientific American. The motor wheel
consists essentially of a heavy wheel
which is Journaled in a stout yoke or
forks, the head of which turns in a
socket. The arrangement is similar to
the front wheel and forks of bicycle
except that instead of being controlled
by a handle bar the wheel is steered by
a hand wheel, shaft and gear wheels,
as shown in the illustrations.
To the right hand fork is attached a
two cylinder gasoline motor, and two
