AS boy Fulton was filed with the
idea of boats and boat propulsion, and
at the age of Is he had constructed
paddle-Wheels which he applied with
success to fishing boat. He had
strong artistic bent, and several years
of his young manhood were spent in
painting miniature portraits, land
scapes, etc., besides making mechan-
ical and architectural drawings. At
the age of 81 he went to London,
where he practiced his art, and it was
there that he began his experiments
in mechanics under the patronage of
various wealthy persons with whom
his art work had brought him in
touch. He patented a mill for saving
marble, and later made plans for the
construction of cast iron aqueducts,
and great work of this kind was
built across the river Dee
He also patented in England a ma
chine for spinning flax, a dred ging
machine, market or passage boat. a

shade which had in it a touch of
mauve as well as salmon. The round
skirt cleared the ground and was set
in at pleats-the latter being neatly
stitched down from waist to hips; the
three-Quarter coat in Louis XVII. style,
had some handsome silk embroideries
on the pockets and on the large cuffs,
and the lining was of black and white
taffetas in narrow stripes. The en-
broideries were worked in silks which
matched exactly the cloth and the
whole effect was most original and
attractive. Another walking gown of
the same genre was made of pearl
gray serge, with elaborate machine
stitchings on the round skirt and on
the cuffs and pockets of the coat; in
this case the coat was lined with the

attempts proving failures, as did
those of numerous other inventors at
work on the same problem.

phibious boat, as it was called, to
be used on canals. His treatise on
the Improvement of Canal Naviga-
ton, written about this time. re-
ceived wide circulation, and copy
was sent to the president of the
United States by the author.
Soon after this Fulton returned to
the United States and continued his
experiments with torpedoes, and the
government appropriated $4,000 for
the testing of his torpedoes and SUBJ
marine explosives
As early as 1898 Fulton had turned
his attention to steam navigation, but
it was not until ten years later that
his efforts took any tangible shape.
Then with the financial assistance Of
Chancellor Livingston, he launched a
steamboat on the Seine, which, ow-
ing to faulty construction of the frame,
Immediately sank. Another boat was
built, with the old machinery, and a
trial trip was made, but no great
speed was attained.
However. encouraged by this par
tial success, Fulton ordered an en-
CINE to be sent to the United States,
and returned to this country to con-
tinue his experiments. Early in the
spring of 1907 the boat which was
to navigate the Hudson, and especially
the system of steam navigation, was
completed at ship yard on the East
river. The engine was put in later,
and on August II, of that year, the
Clermont steamed up the Hudson to
Albany, the voyage occupying 81
hours. Thus was the world given
the first steamboat Of practical value,
and the credit and honor for the
great achievement are undoubtedly,
due to Robert Fulton.
For this reason it seems fitting that
the centennial of that notable achieve
ment should be marked by the erec-
ton of a monument to the great in
ventor. At the Jamestown exposition
next year it is planned to observe
Robert Fulton day, when the navies
of the world will be represented in
Hampton Roads, and naval review
surprising anything yet seen will be
Witnessed Cornelius Vanderbilt, who
is the president of the monument as
ISOLATION, will sail at the head of the
ships of war in his yacht.
The design of the Fulton monument
is by Leopold Bracony, and it is pro-
posed to raise the sum necessary to
it's creation in marble and bronze in
small subscriptions, and to place the
names of all donors of ten dollars or
more upon bronze tablets with which
the inner walls of the tomb, where
the remains of the inventor will rest.
are to be lined.

The full benefits of farm machinery
are not realized because the average
farmer has not the mechanical training
or the requisite skill to get the best re-
suits out Of these complex implements
We are the greatest makers and users
of farm machinery in the world, and
1t Is owing to this fact more than any
other single cause that we have been
able to maintain our agricultural su-
premacy in the markets of the world.
The cost Of this machinery to the farm
ers Is greater to-day than ever before.
The character of this machinery every
year becomes more complicated, requir-
ing increased knowledge Of engineer
ing principles on the part Of users.
The traction engine, the steam plow,
the combined harvester and thresner
operated by steam power, the automo-
bile, the growing use of electricity as a
motive power on the farm, the machn-
cry n5w required in dairies, in the
growing of sugar beets and manufac-
ture of beet sugar, are all Illustrations
of the momentous changes in the char
acter of farm machines which have
taken place in the last fifty years. The
increase in skill and mechanical knowl-
edge required by farmers to operate
these complex and costly machines com
pared to what was needed to operate
the primitive tools Of half a century
ago cannot be given In percentages

More or less Judgment Is required In
doing any kind of work, and the dig.
cling OF potatoes Is no exception to the
rule. In the first place. so many should
not be dug out at one time that they
cannot be handled readily. 4 good way
Is to dig during the fore part OF each
half day and then gather the tubers
before quitting, AS soon as dry they
should always be picked up, and II the
weather Is reasonably dry the length OF
time necessary for drying depends al.
most entirely upon the nature OF the
soil. IL sandy, an hour may be long
enough, but II moist clay It may take
several hours Potatoes, once dug,
should certainly not be left out on the
ground over night II they are, tho
frost has every chance to get at them.

made OF them: all those OF good mar.
Setable size should be gathered first
and the understood ones left till later.
II also pays TO have crates or bushel
measures In which to pick them up,
Easy to distribute about the field. these,
after being filed, can readily be placed
on wagon ami drawn OF. Further
more, they prevent the tubers from be-
ing jammed and marred. Thirty or
forty OF them, or even less number,
may probably be owned by every farm
er who makes business OF raising po-
tatoes and similar crops.-Fred o. Sib.

buy all the silver and gold dug out
Of the mines, all the sheep in the coun-

equal to the entire years crop of rye,
barley, buckwheat and potatoes. Or, as
a hen enthusiast writes in Farming.

mortgages, pays the entire State and

then leaves a balance large enough to
