Low Rates to tho Northwest.


Beginning March LIST, and every day
thereafter during the months of March and
April 1902, the Greet Northern Railway
will sell one way second-class settlers tick
cts at very low rates to almost all points
on its main line west of st. Paul and Min
neapolis Low rates will also be made in
connection with the Great Northern, from
Chicago.
The rate from st. Paul, Minneapolis and
other Eastern terminals to Montana points
is from S15 to 800; to points in Washington,
&22.5O to 325. The rate from Chicago to
Montana points is from e25 to $50, and the
highest rate to points in Washington is e33.
Equally low rates will be made to other
stations reached by the Great Northern
Railway and it's connections.
The journey must begin on the day OF
sale of the ticket, and tickets will be good
for stop-over ten days or less at points on
the Great Northern Railway west of and
including Havre, Mont.
This is the best opportunity that has ever
been offered to, parties who wish to investi-
gate the many advantages offered them in
the great Northwest. Information about
Great Northern country is given by the
agent of the Great Northern Railway, of

AZ practiced in Center county, Pa,
the burning Of lime in heaps is done
about as follows: A convenient piece
of ground is cleared and lmade level to
secure q fit platform. A layer or two
of good, well-seasoned cordwoodi is put
down, and between the chinks Of the
wood shavings, straw and light kim
ding wood are placed. Upon the wood
is then placed a layer of the stone,
which has been reduced to pieces the
sic of double fist, or perhaps some
what larger. Care must be taken to
leave chinks between the stones. This
layer of stone should be about ten
inches thick. In some cases temporary
wooden fues are erected and filled
with straw, then when the straw burns
out the fire has temporary vent.
These are placed at the center, if the
heap is round, or, if it is oblong, at
each end, and the stone and coal are
piled up about them. When one OF
these flues burns out it should be
damped with piece of sod or stone.
Upon this first layer of stone is spread
q layer of coal, then another layer OF
stone (12 inches thick), then coal
again, and so on till the heapis as high
as practicable. The object is to gel
most of the coal in the lower layers,
SO that its heat will not be wasted
Thus the layers of coal at the top OF
the heap are much thinner than the
lower layers.
When the heap is finished, kindle a
FIRE under the shavings and first layer

of wood. When the fire has commune
Gated to the layer of wood and the
lower layer of coal and tongues of
flame begin to shoot from the crew
ices in the sides of the heap, spread
earth over the entire heap. This earth
should be previously loosened by plow-
ing several burrows about the heap.
The earth thrown upon the pile damps
the drafts and retards the combustion.
The figure shows the arrangement of
the materials in a rough way.
Steam and smoke escape slowly dur
ing the first few hours, but later the
entire heap, including the covering of
earth, is heated to a dull red glow.
The burning goes on slowly for several
days, the interior sometimes being hot
for several weeks. When the stone in
the lower part of the heap has reached
an advanced state of calcination por-
ton of the outer layer of lime some
times slips down. When this occurs a
fresh covering of earth must be APP
piled at once, lest the exposed part act
as vent and the top and sides fail to
be properly calcined.
In some localities the heap is COW
cred with earth before the fire is kim
died, openings or vents being left at
the top. where the steam and smoke
may escape. When the smoke stops
these openings are closed.
The quantity of fuel used in this
Center county plan is approximately
one ton of coal for each 100 bushels of
lime, though heap of 5000 bushels is
sometimes satisfactorily burned with
20 tons of coal. The ratio of coal to
lime ranges from 1888 to is, or, esti-
mating on the basis of compact lime
stone yielding 80 bushels of lime to
the perch, one ton of coal will burn
from 1-3 to five perches. The change
that takes place in making lime from
limestone or other forms of calcium
carbonate is the loss of carbonic acid
gas through the agency of heat, con-
verting the stone into calcium oxide
or lime. Upon complete combustion
100 pounds of pure calcium carbonate
will yield Sc pounds of lime. = Ohio

Over Weed Fires, Alnest ~
"a 1 0ooa A. Stone. - ~ 81 q

Nowhere in the United States are
the present roads poorer or better
ones more needed than in some parts
OF the Mississippi valley. The prob.
lem Of improvement in this region,
moreover. has seemed peculiarly diff
cult because there are no lodges OF
rock of kind suitable for making
good road material.
But now, behold! out Of the very
excess of badness-out Of the sticky,
clinging, almost bottomless mud into
which the roads are converted every
spring and autumn-comes the ma
terial which is to work their salvation.
This material is burnt gumbo, the very
mud which makes the roads so bad,
baked over wood fires until it becomes
one of the best bodybuilding materials
known.
The credit of making the first prac-
teal application of this discovery be-
longs to the railroads. For several
years they have been using burnt gum
DO as ballast for their road-beds in IL
linois, Missouri, Iowa and other states
of the middle west. 1t was first intend
ed as substitute for crushed rock in
regions where rock could not easily be
obtained; but it demonstrated its ST.
periority so plainly that it is nowused
extensively even where lodges are
abundant.
The mud is really an impure, exceed
ingly sticky clay. The process Of pre-
pairing it for use upon the road is very
simple. Cord wood is piled in low
pyramid eight or ten feet wide. Over
this is thrown three or four inches of
coal slack, and on this again is plaeea
from IL to 90 inches of mud. When the
wood is fired slow combustion goes
on, which converts the mud into small,
sharp-cornered and exceedingly hard
pieces, so that the product has the mp
pearance Of red gravel.
The railroads find that they can
make and deliver the gumbo on board
the cars at cost of 25 to 35 cents a
primitive fashion and on smaller
scale, as is usually the case on country
highways, the cost is slightly greater.
Roads covered with this material are
never muddy or dusty. They keep free
from snow and ice, are slow to get out
of repair, and weeds or grass will not
grow on them. The supply of mud is
unlimited, its preparation simple and
cheap. A writer in the Review of Re-
views declares that five years of syste-
matte and intelligent work with burnt
gumbo would make the principal coun-
try roads as passable all the year round
as paved city street, and at little
morecost than the amount now wasted
in working the road."-Youth's Com
panion.

Portland Cement Cistern..

The question has been asked wheth-
er water tank for farm could be
made out of concrete. Dealers in ce-
ment answer this inquiry affirmative
ly. If the tank is to be built in the
ground it is wise to select a we'll
drained soil rather than wet one.
The walls need not be over four or
five inches thick. A good formula for
the concrete is this: One part of ce-
ment, three of sharp sand and FIVE of
finely pounded stone or coal cinders.
The inner surface should have a fin
ishing coat, at least half an inch thick,
Of half and half mixture of sharp
sand and cement.

An interesting statement con

LocuSts are dying in large
numbers; their drumming is heard
less as the days pass by. Their
ravages are now beginning to be-
come apparent, but reports show
that these States have suffered
less than i'll former years. The
brood observed this year is desig-
mated as Number Y by G. l..
Marlatt, of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The first record
OF this brood is that of May, 1715,
by a Swedish colonist of Della.
ware. This year the locusts ap
peared about the 18th of May.
The area covered by them en-
braces that region north of line
passing through the southern part
of New Castle, the boundary he
tween Kent and Cecil, thence
across to the southern portions Of
Anne Arundel and Prince
Georges counties, and east of the
county line between Garrett and
Allegany. In Kent, Talbot and

lzed colonies have been reported.
Gram, grasses, tobacco and

damaged but little; however,
trees. including fruit, shade and
those OF the forest, coniferS eX-

for beneath the epidermal layer
of the tender twigs the female
lays her eggs, to deposit which
this layer must first be punctured.
Under repeated treatment of this
sort the twig dies; thus the famil-
