BERLIN HAS PRIZE GARAGE.
Tanks in Building Can Hold $4,000
Gallons of Benzine.

Berlin.-The biggest automobile
garage in the world will be the one to
be established by the Berlin Omnibus
company. which will have tanks hold
ing the unprecedented quantity of
1900 gallons of benzine.
To safeguard the building against
explosions. the benzine will be stored
on the Martin Huneke system, which
has prevented an explosion of $4,000
gallons in fire which destroyed a
huge Berlin storage building.
The benzine will be kept in two I'M
derground tanks. upon which will be
a strong pressure of carbonic acid gas
to prevent the formation of explosive
gases. and the carbonic acid gas will
provide the power for pumping the
benzine up to taps.
The establishment of this great gar
age was not possible until after
months of negotiation with the Ber-
lin municipality. which was rather I'M
willing to grant permission for the
construction of nuch a gigantic auto
house.

ers to their present excellence in our
own day by careful observers, who.
watching every variation and keeping
an exact record of the descent of all
their plants. turn to the best account
the wonderful action of heredity.
That plants are endowed with the
power of changing to some extent I'M
der altered and varying conditions
no one will deny who knows even a
little natural history. Such changes
will occur in wild nature as well as
under cultivation, and by the action
OF heredity will be transmitted more
or less faithfully to the next genera
lions.
But an all-important fact must be
recognized and remembered 1t ia
that in the wild state only such varia-
tons have a chance of enduring as
give the plant in which they occur
some advantage in its life. Many var.
iations appear every year which soon
disappear. because they are q loss
not a gain. to the plant. Suppose in
the wild state a potato plant with
short stems and late-sprouting tubers
In mass at the base of the stem.
Such plant would not have any
chance against rank growing and early
shooting varieties, and 1t would soon
perish. Still. some such characters be-
long to some of our best potatoes
This is owing to the action of man,
who throws his power into the bal
ance when cultivating plants which
are useful or pleasant to him. and who
gives the weakest plant, II 1t is for
some reason favorite with him, all
the advantage he can to make 1t
thrive and answer his purpose. Most

early and succulent growth for our
own benefit, but not at all for their
own good. If left to their fate to
struggle with their own wild forms
they would soon have to take a back
seat and very likely soon perish. It
follows, then, that varieties improved
from mans point of view must re-
ceive kind treatment and richer food
than wild forms of the same plant
The cultivated plant, like the domes
ticated animal. yields in measure its
powers of self-defense to adapt itself
to our service. Man must in return
provide for its safety and nourish-

QUICK WORK OF PACKING.
System v sed by One Successful Hand
- Ter of Fruit.

In picking apples in my own orch
ard and in orchards that ! buy, l do
not allow an apple picked until l am
there to commence barreling same
l never let an apple touch the ground
that goes into barrel. In picking
use half bushel baskets and short
sacks hung over a picker's shoulder.
says correspondent Of Farm and
Home. Use long and short ladders
tirely, as pickers climbing in among
the limbs bruise the apples that are
in sacks and spill apples out Of the
baskets.
l pack entirely from packing tables
that are built on a slight slant. the
wide end of the table being padded
to prevent the bruising of apples as
they are being poured onto the table.
The narrow part of the table is slat-
ted with lath one inch apart, which
allows twigs, leaves, etc, to drop
through. At the mouth of the table
! have an apron that is tackled to the
under side of the table; this We lay
over the barrel allowing the apples to
run into it. When the apron is full
we lower it into the barrel. which pre-
vents the bruising of apples as they
are put into the barrel.
The cost of picking and packing
covers a wide range where trees are
heavily laden, the cost being not
nearly as large as when there is a
light crop. Under ordinary circum-
stances the picking and packing can
be done for Is to IS cents per barrel.
l work four men at the packing table,
one man to face, one to press. one at
mouth of table to run the apples. and
one to sort out culls.
The packing table does away with
having Gull apples all over your or
chard, as all the culls are thrown un-
der the table. When the time comes
in the fall to gather your Gull and
windfalls for making cider. it is a
very easy matter to drive from pile
to pile to pick up the apples and put
them in the wagon. ! have my teams
ready to haul my apples to cars,
where they are put in cold storage in
st. Louis in is hours from the time
they were hanging on the trees.
