The use Of steam turbines has been
common for some time In stationary
plants and in small vessels.
Instead Of the piston aud valve ar
rangcmcnt which Is the foundation
principe Of the old style steam engines.
the turbine takes the steam directly
from the boiler into cylinder filled
with Hanged wings. and the expansive
force of the steam acts against these
flangcs on much the same principle as
turbine water wheel. There is no al
ternating or reciprocal motion. but
constant revolution ut even pressure
which can be- transmitted directly to
the revolving screw
The turbine principle saves fuel. but
its greater advantages are In its sim
plicity of operation. the reduction of
the machine parts required. the direct
transmission of power and the freedom
from vibration
The transmission Of power from fuel
TO effective energy is still in its in
fancy No commercial device has yet
succcc led IN utilizing even half the the
oretic power Of coal New York World.

Our present method II to feed mix

deep, says c. l.. Chapman in American

In the morning they are given warm
water or milk If winter and two quarts
OF grain per iifty hens covered in the
litter. Not getting all they want. they
keep nj work all the time until noon.
when the cooked or warm feed Is
ready and is given them.
Our ration is corn, oats, wheat and
buckwheat in equal parts for whole
grain and three-sixths wheat bran. one
sixth corn. One-sixth oats. one-siXth
meat or oilmeal or milk for mash at
noon. Cut clover hay. green vegeta-

road dust should be In constant use.
Water should never be neglected. not
only because the fowls need It. but be-
cause the egg is 70 per cent water.
