Perilous Condition In Which

Wedge for Oil Burners.
COAL SUPPLY VERY LOW

lett, who form the majority OF tne BOARD
have departed from their methods of
swearing and cursing and threatening
protesters against the location of a
1000 barrel oil tank in Lafayette by
Heist & Young. They have taken anoth-
efs tack to force upon the people the par
ticular oil burner owned and sold by that
firm
Heist & Young have what is known
as the Mephisto Oil Burner, which is de-
signed to be used to heat fire engines
while they are in the houses awaiting
calls to action. The firm asserts, and
Angel and Niblett claim to believe, that
this burner will do the work of coal at
less cost and with more efficiency. Com
missioners Angel and Niblett arranged
to have the firm experiment on the en-
gines of Jersey City and to give them
all the help possible. Among the steps
taken to give Heist & Young's burner
a boom was the PRONUNCIATION Of rule
that the consumption Of coal must be
held down to minimum while the pres
ent supplies last. The scheme is reveal
ed by an order that no steam pressure be
kept on the engines except while they
are in active service This means while
fighting fire. Nothing more than warm
water is now kept in the boilers while
awaiting alarms.
THAT MEPHISTO BURNER.
Heretofore at least three pounds of
steam has always been kept up so that
the engines were able at a seconds mo-
tice to fight any fire when called upon.
But this is to be all changed, at least
until the Heist & Young burner can be
put into operation generally.
A fair sample is to be found at No.
Engine house Here the engine has only
hot water The coal supply will last for
only two weeks. The company has made
requisition for coal as this is the small
est supply it has ever had on hand; bug
no mora coal is coming along.
Commissioners Niblett, chairman of the
Committee on Supplies, has announced
that no more coal will be furnished the
companies until next winter.

and property of the citizens in grave

The method of testing seeds between
plates and layers of muistened flannel,
the whole being kept in a warm place,
is familiar 10 nearly every one. a. s.
Hitchcock says in Gardening as to the
time required for seeds to terminate:
Some seeds will commence to germi-
nate by the third day. Each day an ex-
animation should be made, and those
seeds which have terminated should
be recorded and removed.
Grass seeds require as much as three
weeks, and seeds of some trees a SIT
longer time. Beet balls contain fro.
three to seven seeds. With very smi
seed 1t may be necessary to provide for
the circulation of air by placing small
pieces of wood between the layers Of
cloth among the seeds. With most va
ricties of garden plants the majority
of seeds should terminate within a
few days after the first sprout appears
If the period of termination extends
over longer time, it shows that the
vitality of the seed is low. Seeds of the
carrot family and some melon seeds
may not show as high results in the
terminating dishes as they do in the
ground.

Possibilities of Water Storage in
Nebraska,

Facts of considerable interest regard
ing storage possibilities on the Loup and
Platte Rivers in Nebraska, have beer
furnished by o. Y. z. Stout, Residen
photographer of the L. =. Geological
Survey for the State of NJ b. asks.
These streams have been the subject OF
photographic investigation at Camp
Clarke, on the North Plat, and Colum.
bus on the Loup, for six CONSECUTIVE
years, and from the observations and
measurements covering this period, th'
deductions were made. Attention l.
called TO the remarkable uniformity In
the flow OF the Loup, whose volume may
be predicted for any month OF the year
with but slight margin Of error. .
the other hand the Platte shows great
extremes Of flow, amounting in proper
ton to about three or four times that OF
the Loup. Storage problems on both
these streams are beginning to demand
attention, but In consequence OF the
comparative uniformity OF discharge OF
the former, very little storage would 6e
required to render its supply almost alb
solutely uniform-an ideal condition for
power purposes. For its complete util-
ization for irrigation, however, the con-
structiop OF reservoirs will be necessary
TO store the waters which would other
wise flow away when not used for irriga-
ton. The North Platte, on the other
hand, presents an entirely different prob
lem; Its minimum supply is already in-
sufficient to supply all the irrigators
along the stream, and the flood volume.
II drawn upon for that purpose, could
only give water for single irrigation.
The study of these streams has shown
that the discharge from the North Platte
was sufficient, with proper storage, be.
tween April and October, inclusive, of
the six years under consideration, to
have covered each year an area OF one
and one third million acres to depth OF
one foot, while the capacity OF the Loup
for the same period was one and one
fifth million acre feet. Compared with
the supply furnished by the Cache la
Poudre to the celebrated communities Of
Greedy and Fort Collins in Colorado, the
service Of the Loup would be three and
one.third, and of the North Platte four
and flve-eigbths times as much. The
magnitude OF the possibilities for the fu-
ture In the hands of the Nebraska irri-
gators is made apparent by these figures.

Cutworms very often prove fatal to
the growing tomato plants, as they do
to those of nearly every crop. Early
cultivation. keeping the ground fallow
for several weeks, will do much to
starve them out. Then two or three
days before setting out the plants spray
a piece of Clover or grass with strong
paris green. one pound to seventy-fve
gallons of water, sweetening 1t with
little cheap molasses, and scatter small
punches of this poisoned food every
couple OF yards over the field. The cut
worms will eagerly devour 1t and thus
De destroyed before the plants are put

pounds of bran and one pound Of paris

are to mature, or they may be sown In
greenhouses or hotbeds and the young
plantlets transplanted to the rows in
the open ground. In sowing out of
doors seeds should be put In rs early
as possible In shallow drills three to
three and half feet apart and cover
ed with a half inch OF fine moist earth.
They need to be very carefully weeded
at first. but IL the ground Is clean and
mellow and the rows straight the
wheel hoe will be able to take full
charge of the work early In the sea
son. 1t has been repeatedly shown
that cheaper. better and earlier onions
can be grown by transplanting the
plants from greenhouses or hotbeds
where the seeds are sown very early.
When the plantlets are as large as n
lead pencil. they are set four inches
apart In rows three feet asunder. and
cultivation Is Immediately begun with
the wheel hoe. In growing from sets
the planting Is made in much the same
way. Multiplier or potato onions are
similarly managed.

NOFth-ftOw To
In view of the present widespread In
terest in soy beans n few words of eS-
PLANTATION are pertinent Mt this time.
Probably hundred Ohio farmers have
asked me If they can grow soys in their
latitude. | answer yes. Why notf 10.
Gated north of the forty-fourth parallel
of north latitude, have been growing.
cross breeding and feeding soys for
years and have yet to record the first
failure. Given the early or medium
early varieties, any Ohio farmer should
do better than can possibly be done
here The principal causes Of failure
are too late varieties too late planting
and too much seed.
The best way to use soy beans for
hog pasture is In what my friend, E. +.
Diehl of Indiana, calls a hog para
disc" This is made by planting soy
beans, cowpeas and corn in alternate
rows, and at the last cultivation two
pounds of rape are sown to the acre.
1t Is not expensive, and 1t makes pork
as nothing else will AS one farmer OF
my acquaintance said: Make pork?
Well, say, it's just like getting money
from home"
Soy beans will stand more cold than
corn, cowpeas or potatoes In fact, |
have never seen them injured by frost
between May l and oct. l, though, of
course, these are extreme dates. Soys

BEAN GROWING.
Cheap and Sure Methods of Securing
SnfIafnof0ry Cronn.


Good crops of beans cannot be raised
on poor ground. Beans are hard on the
land, and no field should grow two
crops In succession. Good crops of
beans are grown every year on wheat,
oats and corn stubble ground, but
years of observation and experience
have taught me that the fields on
which beans can be grown cheapest
and surest. II properly handled, are
those that were pastured or in meadow
the previous season. Such fields take
less labor TO keep the crop free from
weeds. They should be plowed early.
while there is plenty OF moisture, roll
ed and dragged often enough to keep
down everything green until planting
time. when the soil will be firm. moist
and mellow. the ideal condition for the
bean to terminate. Such partial sum
mer following Is the only way to main
tain sufficient moisture to carry the
plant vigorously through any dry pc
Rod that often overtakss 1t In its early
stages. says a Michigan correspondent
OF American Agriculturist.
Many farmers raise excellent crops
ON stubble fields with no more and
sometimes less labor blowing the
ground only In time to fit for planting.
With plenty OF moisture this will do, but
with the droughts Of June that our To-
cality is subject to this method Ia risky.
The best beans should be selected for
seed The pea variety is the only one
we raise for market. The planting
season Ii from June to 25. The COM
mon grain drill is used for this work.
drilling In rows twenty-eight inches
apart. One-half to three-fourths of a
bushel to the acre according to condi-
tion OF the soil, is planted.
With ordinary favorable weather the
crop attains sufficient growth in ten
days to be cultivated. II conditions are
unfayorahle and the plant starts slow
ly, 1t would be well to run over the
ground with a spike tooth drag to keep
the weeds from starting or to mellow
the soil II II has been crusted. The tool
generally used for cultivating Is the
two horse wheel cult1vator Of any
standard make. II the soil has been
properly fitted, two rows can be cult
waited at once, ten acres being an easy
days work.
Cultivation should be done once
week until the bean begins to form.
Some good farmers will not cultivate
after the blossoms appear. My own
experience has taught me that cultiva-
ton, though 1t be 80 late so as tear
apart the vines between the rows, new
er lessons the yield, and further, as
most of the bean ground is sown to
wheat, 1t Is a partial preparation for
the wheat. Beans grow rapidly, and
three to five civilizations are sufficient.
