The smallest stationary engine in the
world, as far as its maker can learn, rests
entirely on five-cent piece. 1t is owned
and was made by John II. Cunningham, a
jeweler, of Eaton, Ind. Cunningham has
a fad for making miniature machinery.
The little engine operates at remark
able rate of speed under pound of steam
So small are some of the parts that
magnifying glass is necessary to make a
proper examination of them. The screws
that hold the parts together are made
from needles, the threads being so fine as
to defy the naked eye. The screws are a
fraction of millimeter in diameter.
The fly wheel measures about three
Fights Of an inch in diameter. 1t was
turned from steel by Cunningham. who
says it is the largest wheel that the engine
will turn.
The engine has one-sixteenth of an inch
stroke; the cylinder head measures
one-eighth of an inch in diameter, while
the capped cylinder head measures one
fourth of an inch. The striking boxes
are packed with lint scraped from silk
thread, cotton being too coarse for the
purpose.
Cunningham cannot estimate the power
OF the little continuance whose steam is
generated in a boiler made from hand
bicycle pump and heated by gas jet.
The engine thus far has never been able
to overcome greater resistance than that
furnished by the fly wheel.
The engine was first built on five-cent
piece, and Cunningham has now mounted
the coin and engine on a small stand.
The piping for the engine is a small
copper wire drilled out in the centre and
running to the boiler, which is several
times the size and weight of the engine.

ALFALFA EXPERIMENTS.
Brunswick Man Experimenting with
its Cultivation i'm Maine

brunswick Man Experimenting with
its Cultivation in Maine.
A. e. Rogers, of Brunswick, is making
experiments in the culture OF alfalfa in
Maine soil. Mr.. Rogers is not the first
to make the experiment, but those which
have heretofore been made in the State
have been disappointment, while 1t
looks at present as il it were destined to
make success OF the matter, and be able
to raise this choice fodder as it is raised in
the West.
That the plant will not grow in the
Maine soil without some foreign help has
been demonstrated, but that it will grow,
when this help has been given, has been
demonstrated by Mr.. Rogers. In order to
ascertain what was needed in the soil to
secure good crop, he planted three plots
Of land with alfalfa, the first OF which
was treated with inoculated soil from New
York state, ON which alfalfa had pre-
viously been grown, and in addition to
that, lime was used on the soil. In the
second plot of land, lime alone was used,
while the soil Of the third plot was left in
its natural condition.
Aht iSsbitS Va lue tAptTiHicut are very
marked The alfalfa on the plot where
the inoculated soil and lime had been
used, was from two to four feet in
height, and Of degree of luxuriance of
growth that would yield two tons to the
acre. The second plot, where the lime had
been used alone, showed crop of about
two-thirds the first, while the growth ON
the third plot was failure.
This would seem to indicate that the
possibility OF raising alfalfa in Maine,
after the soil had once become inoculated
by raising crop, was good. Mr.. Rogers
will go into the culture.of the fodder on
larger scale next year, and will pillow two
acres with the seed, on one of which the
inoculated soil and lime will be used, and
ON the other, the seed will be dipped in
the inoculating solution which has been
used by the government. Alfalfa is con-
sidered one of the best folders for stock,
yielding several crops each year, and if it
can be made to grow in Maine in paying
quantities, the advantage it will prove to
the farmers can be easily estimated.
