A great many of these engines are en-
ployed in hauling freight across the
veldt hundreds of miles, and the de-
mand for them is greater than the sup
ply, 50 that the manufacturers are put
ting forth extra efforts to meet the
market The picture shows the best
and most serviceable engine which has
yet been produced. and it has lately ar
rived in South Africa from the factory
at Leeds.
The engine is fitted with compound
cylinders S13 inches and 12A inches di-
amter by u inches stroke. The main
road wheels are SIX feet three inches
diameter by two feet two inches wide,
and the front wheels four feet diam
eter by II inches wide, the great bear
ing surface of the wide wheels ena-
bling them to travel over comparative
ly soft ground without sinking. The
engine is fitted with extra large fuel
and water capacity marked advan-
tage in the sub-continent, and fur
nished with three speeds at two, four
and six miles per hour. An enlarged
smoke-box and spark-catcher are en-
ployed, and the engine is steered from
the footplate by McLaren's improved
safety rack storage. The frebOxes
are made extra large sc as to burn

THE VEGETABLE CELLAR.
A Suggestion to Farmers Who Rays
Furnaces-How One Man
Managed.

In the winter is the time the farmer
takes TO lay his plans for the future.
We think that nothing will be bet
ter worth his attention this winter
than the question of a storage cellar
for potatoes, cabbages, squashes and
other products of the field. There was
a time when the cellar under the farm
mouse was cool enough in winter to
Keep most Of the vegetables that it
was desired to keep for some months.
But little by little the big furnace has
invaded the home of the farmer, and
the cellar is no longer the good storage
place 1t was, says the Farmers Re-
view. The night temperature now runs
to so degrees and the day temperature
to 20 degrees and higher
All farm vegetables begin to show
deterioration in q few weeks from be-
ing stored. The cabbages and beets
wilt and the potatoes shrivel and send
out sprouts, which have to be broken
of again and again to prevent the
nourishment and moisture in the po-
tato being drawn into the sprout. 1t
is evident that the man with a fur
mace will have to arrange his cellar in
some other way than by leaving it one
open space.
Recently a professor in one of our
agricultural colleges was describing to
the writer a most admirable cold stor-
age room in his cellar. He has fur
mace, and, Us is common, the furnace
must have a supply of cold air. He
has bad brick partition built across
one end of his cellar, and the cold air
for the furnace is drawn through this
room. It has one aperture opening to
the outside. while on the inside the air
goes into the cold air pipe of the fur
mace
There is window in the cold stor-
age room, and of course a door ad
mits from that into the other part of
the cellar. On cool days, when the
temperature is not so low as to freeze
the vegetables, the professor opens the
window. wide and fills the vegetable
cellar with cold air. and then closes it
enough to admit of only the amount of
draft necessary to keep the furnace
going.
The results are found to be admira-
BILE, and all vegetables stored there, as
well as the apples. are kept in perfect
state of preservation till used.

dent Tyler served the remaining three
years and II months of Harrison's term.
The remainder of his days was passed
at his beautiful home. Sherwood Forest,
in Virginia, devoted to his books and
entertainment of the many guests that
gathered around him. He was an advo-
cate of slavery, and when the war or
the rebellion broke out he sided with the
south. He was member Of the confed-
crate congress, and his death occurred
while he was serving as such, in Rich
mond, on January II, 1862. Zachary
Taylor was the next president to die
in Office. He had served one year and
four months of his term. His death
occurred on July 9, 1850. He con-
tracted a cold and was only sick five
days. 1t is said that worry had much
to do with the cause Of his death. He
was soldier. He knew but little about
politics, and after he assumed the presi-
dents Office the politicians and the Of
fee seekers made his life burden. Mil
lard Fillmore, his vice president, was
then inaugurated president. FouryearS
after leaving the Office Mr. Fillmore was
the candidate of the "know-nothing"
party for president, but was defeated.
His death occurred at Buffalo, N. Y,
on the 18th of July, 1874, of paralysis.
The tragic death of Abraham Lincoln,
the first of our martyred presidents, took
place early on the morning of the 18th
of April, 1866. He had entered upt
his second term as president but little
more than month before. The hand
that brought death to him was that of
an assassin, John Wilkes Booth. 1t was
while seated in box in Fords theater
at Washington on the night before that
the fatal shot was fired. After the
death of President Lincoln, the robes of
chief executive fell upon his vice presi-
dent, Andrew Johnson. His admins
tration was stormy one. He differed
with the leaders of his party in regard
to policies, and an attempt was made to
impeach him in the senate. Six years
after he retired from the presidency he
was elected senator of the United States
from Tennessee. He entered upon his
duties as senator on March S, 1875. In
the latter part of the following July he
| went to Tennessee to visit his daughter.
The day after arriving there he was
stricken with paralysis, and three days
afterward, on July 81, 1875, he died.
1t was also an assassin's bullet that
ended the life of James A. Garfield, who
In 1880 was elected president and took
his seat on March 4, 1881. He had been
In office a little less than four months
when, on the morning of the I'd of July,
1881, at the railroad depot in Washing
ton, as he was about to take the train
for New York on a trip through New
England, he was shot by Charles ].

his case in court, was shown to be dis

LAY HELPLESS AND SPEEOHLESS
FOR HOURS AT A TIME.

Sinking Spells. Headaches, Rheumatism,
All Caused by Poor Blood-Cured by Il,
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
Ever since had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into 10 of ifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in a moderate time,
but the period Of weakness kept length
ening until at last would lie helpless

of course?'
Yes, when became so bad that

1903, was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitation Of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me SO little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
"What saved you from your state of
hopelessness?"

blood and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink

that was the beginning Of my return to

no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength began to re-
yive."
How long did you take this remedy?"
" For two months only. At the end
of that time I had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that I am looking better than have
done for the past fifteen years"

FARM NOTES.

In the making of cornstarch about
10000 900 bushels of corn are now used
annually.
The corn plant is deep feeder, and
the soil on which it is grown should be
loosened deeply.
The area of corn land cannot greatly
increase, but what we have can be made
to produce twice as much as it does at
the present time.
Our farmers must learn to utilize
every resource and utilize it completely
This is the secret that has made many a
manufacturer rich.
By proper preparation of the land and
judicious cultivation of the growing crop,
it is possible to greatly increase The
yield of any crop grown on the farm. !
The department of agriculture found
by testslthat no corn planter will drop
evenly unless the grains are graded to
size. This has led to the invention Of
corn graders. When they are used the
planters do accurate work.

Protection for Apple Trees.

The following from the report of the
secretary of agriculture for the year
1892 has proved satisfactory in my
case in keeping rabbits from hurting
apple trees: "A piece OF closely woven
wire netting about l2x1S inches bent
around the tree and fastened by wire,
makes a sure protection anC costs
about three cents. 1t will also stop
the eating of the bark by mice and
prevent the beetle of the round-headed
borer from laying eggs, and will last
for several years. A bunch of soft
material stuck in the top will keep j.
in proper position and allow no chatting
of the tree" In my experience the
wire lasted until the trees were so
large that the rabbits did not trouble
them.
