Science Attacks Seasickness.

According to German papers for
warded by Consul General Guenther,
of Frankfort; Otto Schlick, of Ham
burg, has invented an appliance which
reduces the rolling of ships to a mini
mum. He calls it ''schiffskreisel''
(ship top. It is stated that if it fills
expectations, it will prove of great
Importance, not only that seasickness
would be'done away with, but the eff
ficiency of warships would be greatly
enhanced, as the hitting ability would
be vastly increased. Much interest
appears to be manifested in this in
vention in shipbuilding circles. Re-
Gently larger experiments with this
"top" took place at the works of the
Hamburg America line, in the harbor
of Hamburg, before company of in
terested parties Into the old torpedo
boat, Seebaer, a ship top had been
built into the boat amidship. The top
has turbine paddles. and is so con-
structed that it can make simultan-
eously rotating and pendulous mo-
tions. By the combined motion the
rolling of the ship is to be averted.
The apparatus was set in motion by
steam power, making 1900 revolu-
tions per minute, and the result is
said to have been such as to justify
the belief that it would accomplish
what is claimed for it.

ALMA RECORD:
Perhaps few words along the line of
sugar beet raising might find their way
into your paper. Farmers, do not put
off contracting The Sugar Beet Co.
should know what they are going to
do. They have to make some calcula-
tions just the same as you do. At this
time you should know what you are
going to do and should get out your
tools and look them over and fix them
ND for the summer. You can do this a
great deal better now than you can
when you are ready for them in the
spring.
A few words in regard to 2S-inch
row. l think this is the only way to
raise beets. In the first place, yox will
get very nearly as many tons per acre as
you will on 20-inch row and the ex-
pense will be nearly one-third less and
the beets much easier to cultivate. You
can rig up your bean cultivator to Guilt
vate three rows and you can SOW your
seed with grain drill and not have to
buy beet drill nor any extra cultivators
if you have such as 1 have spoken about.
BY using three row cultivator, you
can cultivate eight to ten acres per day
and do a good job, and get over your
ground often for one of the most essen
tial points about beet raising is to keep
your ground well cultivated and keep
your beets growing from the time they
come up until they are ripe. BY so
doing you should make a success of beet
raising.
In regard to fertilizer, shall use
about seventy-five pounds per acre, just
enough to stimulate the plant 1 think
this is enough on good soil On light
soil would use from two hundred 10
four hundred pounds per acre distributed
all over the ground. At any time do
not put over one hundred pounds in the
row.
