BELIEVED CORN WILL
BE SAFE FROM FROST OCT. /

The weekly crop bulletin for Hi
nois for the week ending Aug. "A,
deals largely with the prospects Of
the corn crop. The general summary
is as follows:
The temp erature was slightly below
normal the first part of the week, and
the nights were rather cool; the lat
fer part Of the week was warm. Rain
fall was deficient, only Il few localities
being favored with showers. Fall
blowing i progressing. but the work
has been retarded in many instances,
ON account of the dryness of the soil.
Some wheat, rye and grass seed have
been sown. The acreage sown in
wheat will show decrease.
The weather conditions have been
favorable for corn. excepting cool
nights the first part of the week. and
lack of moisture in some localities.
| The chief concern now i the date
when the crop Will be safe from in
jury by frost. Estimates furnished
by upwards of 900 correspondents
range from Sept. - to Oct. -. \ very
decided majority fix the date at Oct
l. The record at the weather bureau
Office at Springfield, covering a period
Of p years, shows the earliest occur
renee Cf killing frost to he Sept. %
1879. and killing frost did not Occur
until Nov. %. in 1902. During the
period mentioned lillin" frosts have
occurred as follows: Four times in
September. II times in October, and
, times in November.
The thrcshing Of oats is practically
finished; the yield is generally below
] average.
Pastures are deteriorat:ng i'm many
localities; rain is needed. The second
crop Of clover il ripe and some has
been threshcd for seed with generally
satisfactory results. Considerable
baling of hay has been done. Meagre
reports show Il light broom corn
crop.
The condition of potatoes range
from poor to good Apples continue

Inventor Claims IL Will Effect Saw

\ new invention, the Luckry Loco
motive Stokcr, which promises to do
for the railroad fireman what the air
brake has done fer the brakeman, is
now being tested ON the C., Is. II Q.'s
"R B. engine, No. 1927 at Galesburg,
and if it proves the success that every
Indication points to, numerous advan-
tages will be derived from it.
The stulcr is an apparatus made
fer the purpose OF putting coal into
the fircbox without having To throw
il in by hand or having to open and
shut the door each time a shovel of
coal is thrown in. 1t is worked auto
matically by steam. 1t will greatly
save the wear of the firehoN and boil
er and will also be an economizer of
fuel.

The stoker is a small, compact and
simple machine, but little larger than
a cash register, though it weighs 500
pounds. 1t replaces the regular door
of the locomotive and is hinged to the
same Tugs. For cleansing the fire,
firing up or for the boiler makers to
do their work the machine can be
swung open the same as door.
Blown In by Steam.
The principle employed is blowing
the coal in with steam. \ small en-
CINE turns a paddle wheel to feed
down the coal in front of narrow
opening, the full width of the rear end
of the shovel plate and three discharg-
es of steam, first hard one for the
further end of the fire box, then a
medium force for the middle of the
box. and light ON for the part next
To the door, force the coal into the
box At the front end of the shovel
plate are located two adjustable wings
on blades, one at either side, each be-
ing curved to direct portion of the
coal to the sides and back corners.
There are but two moving parts to
the stol<er proper, i. e., the paddle
wheel to feed down the coal, and an
internal admission rotary valve to
discharge the steam.
The machine is expected to save suf-
ficicnt fuel and boiler repairs to war
rant its purchase, and the hard work
it saves 10 the fireman by the fact
that he is shielded from the heat of
the fire should inspire him to work
for it's success.
