MILWAUKEE, PLANS FILTERS.
VIII Save It's Engines by FiItering the
Water-RuiIds It's Own Enaines,

| Special to Tlmes-ReDubiican.
Davenport, May 2.-The Milwaukee
railroad has under development a plan
to establish a system of water filters
thruout it's lines in Iowa, South Da-
kota and Minnesota.
The water Of Iowa and South Dakota
wells is the chief cause of wear Of the
locomotives. If the problem of sup
plying pure water can be solved, the
problem of adding years to the life
of engines will nave been disposed of,
The plan of the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul railroad is to erect large filtering
stations, costing nearly $4,000 each.
The filters are expected to remove all
the alkali or lime or other Objectionable
chemicals.
The water either forms q crust In
the boilers, or else foams when it is
boiled. Either curse is very injuri-
Gus to the boilers. If a crust is formed
the inside of the boiler is scaled off.
Sometimes the water is SO bad that 1t
fills up the tubes within the boiler
with its deposits.
The experiments will be watched
with interest. as this is the first rail-
road to make any attempt to purify
wafer aSeu Dy elSiileS. II is stated
that the Milwaukee and ST. Paul rail-
o had tested every we'll in South
Dakota within a mile of its right-of-
way, in an effort to find acceptable
water.
The Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad
it's readiness to construct
all the locomotives demanded by the
system. Engine works have been con-
structed at Milwaukee at a cost of
81, 900, 900, which will be able to make
from rs to so engines annually. TIL
Milwaukee g. st. Paul railroad is the
first to begin building it's own motive
power. For ten years the company has
built all its freight cars at the Mil
waukee shops, which have an annual
capacity of 5000 cars. AS a result, the
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad has
usually been better supplied with
cars than any other of the western
roads. Now the company will be
able to get locomotives when they are
wanted.
The company has arranged for the
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1903-05-02

construction Of 50 engines at once. In
the car shops are being built 300 stock
cars. seven railway postal cars, 200 re-
frigerator cars, 1000 box cars, 500
combination gondola cars and 300 ball
last cars.
The appointment of Mr.. Barr to be
assistant to President Earling is for the
purpose of placing him in charge of the
construction of cars and locomo-
tives. Orders have been placed by the
management of the Milwaukee e st.
Paul for six water filtering plants to
be located at important stations in
Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota and
lowe.

If she did he would be tempted to
deny it.
When school "took up" Laura was
in her seat, but she did not even look
in his direction. He wondered wheth-
er the valentine had not vet been
delivered or whether she was entire
ly overcome by the magnifcence of
the offering.
Next morning, when again she neg

cided to bring matters to a crisis.
He skillfully threw paper wad,"
which landed on her desk. When she
turned quickly he was prepared for
an eloquent acknowledgment in her
eyes. But she only made a face" at
him.
That was the only acknowledgment
that he ever got. The Perkins boy
and Laura grew up together, and final
ly he heard, after he was a Grown-up
Boy himself, that they were mar
ried. Twenty years after the valen-
tine episode he had gone back home

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
Every Variety Presents Its Peculiar
PrOht~r>s Which Must Be stud
led by the Grower.

Every kind of tree or plant, in fact,
every individual, presents its own Pc
culiar problems to the primer. Hence
no arbitrary rules can be given. To
do the work most judiciously the OPP
orator must understand the prin-
ciples involved, then apply them to
each case. Skill in pruning can come
only with experience and practice.
Perhaps the most important thing
is to observe the manner in which
the fruit is borne. For instance, an
apple or pear tree bears it's fruit
mostly on fruit spurs" and so would
not be pruned in the same way as
peach tree, which bears its fruit only
on last seasons growth A ounce
tree, which produces its fruit on the
tips of the growth made the present
season, would naturally be pruned
differently from either an apple or
peach tree. Likewise, the correct
pruning of grapes is based on the
fact that the shoots of the present
season produce this years crop. The
same principle in pruning holds true
throughout the whole list of fruits
that is, the manner in which the
fruit is borne should govern the man
ner of pruning.
In general way, it may be said
in regard to tree fruits that all dead
branches should be removed ard the
tops of the trees be kept sufficiently
open to admit an abundance Of sum
light for the colOring of the fruit.
Reasonably open tops are also OF
great advantage in spraying the
trees and in harvesting the fruit.
The natural habit of the tree should
suggest the form to be adopted by
the primer. In other words, a tree
the branches of which naturally
droop cannot well be pruned to an
upright form, and a tree with
strong tendency toward forming an
upright head cannot readily be made
to assume a decidedly spreading
form. Of course these natural, tend
encies can be influenced in a measure
by the manner of pruning, bat they
cannot be entirely overcome. The
tops should be kept symmetrical and
as well balanced as possible.
The pruning of the various kinds Of
small fruits is based on the same
general principles as the pruning OF
fruit trees-that is, the manner in
which the fruit is borne and the
character of the growth should gov
ern the method of pruning.-Farm-

King Edward "The Silver King

The fall in the price of silver still
leaves the king the posse ssor of an
enormous fortune in the plate he has
inherited from his mother, both at
Buckingham palace and at Windsor
castle. The late queen had the great
preponderance of her plate at Wind
sor, whereas during the present reign
Buckingham palace will probably be
the more plentifully supplied. No
valuation has had to be made for
probate duty, for the king does not pay
the kings taxes, any more than the
speaker of the third estate speaks.
Not long ago, however, an inventory
was made at Windsor castle, with the
result that the plate, most of it silver,
some of it gold, and a portion of it,
such as metal peacock and other or
naments, set with gems, was appraised
at sum far in excess of a million
pounds. Edward VII, who has made
considerable additions to the collec-
ton by the transfer of his own plate
from Marlborough house, may well
be alluded to among connoisseurs as

How to Keep Cider Sweet.

A correspondent of Farm and Fire
side says: "There is practically no
way Of keeping cider from fermenting
unless something is done to sterilize
it. This sterilizing may be done by
raising the cider to a temperature
of $50 degrees three times, allowing
it to cool between, and finally
bottling when hot. This is certainly
the best way of treating it if you do
not wish to use a drug. In my own
experience I prefer to keep it sweet
by adding about one-half pound of
carbonate of soda to a barrel, not
making it until late in the autumn,
when cold weather is assured, and
then keeping it cold during the win
ter. If it is in room the temper
allure of which is just below freez-
ing point it will not freeze, but will
be cold enough to prevent any very
active fermentation.

The farm should have a wood-1ot,

farmer, hereafter, will appreciate the
wood-lot as never before; and who

a great deal to the attractiveness
of the farm, and it's utility can hard
ly be overestimated, as an adjunct

able to get his fuel from his own
wood-lot, while coal is so high, has
reason to thank his lucky stars 1t
will be long time before coal gets
down to the low figure where it was
before the strike, if it ever does;
