A grower who has been in the val
ley five years remarked a few days
ago that he had lost the last five
years in his work of raising fruit
in learning what to raise. He bought
a small orchard which looked all
right but he has just discovered
that there are very few profitable
apple trees in the orchard although
he has twenty varieties. Most of
them are of the summer and fall var
ietles and no more than a half dozen
of each kind. He was told that the
trees could not be successfully graft
ed and so he dug out fifty trees and
by SO doing lost from six to seven
years Next season he will graft
all of his Improbable stun to not

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
Broken FIanGe Wrecks Bridge.

A disastrous wreck Of a bridge near
Mckoe's Rocks. Pa, resulted recently
from an apparently insignificant causc
A freight train was passing over To-
bridge wnen a nangc Of one Of the
wheels broke, chipping on a portion
nearly one foot in length. The Wheel
that failed was Of cast iron and was
beneath the steel hopper car Of 100000
pounds capacity loaded with coal. The
car left the rails and knocked out one
Of the posts Of the bridge truss.' The
entire structure collapsed
The accident Is typical failure Of
this kind Of bridge. The pin-connected
type Of truss, winch Il almost universal

States, nearly always gives way when
one Of the posts Is knocked from posi-.

rivited truss, which Is not 70 readily

Cleaning and Renewing Fur..

just at this time many owners of furs
are receiving them from the summer
storage and finding them dead-lookinr
and msterless, a condition in which even
handsome furs are not attractive.
This is usually due TO the fact that
the fur is simply soiled, and it may be
cleaned and frightened to a remarkable
extent by simple method, without the
slightest danger OF injury to the article.
This is the method employed by the
Russians, who are certainly the most ex-
tensive users of, and probably the best
informed on the subject of furs of any
nation.
Rye bran should be heated in an iron
or earthenware vessel, being stirred all
the while, until it has become as hot
as is bearable to the hand. The bran
should then be poured upon the fur in
liberal quantities and thoroughly rubbed
in. The fur should then be brushed with
clean brush or shaken and pounded
until all the particles of bran have been
removed.
The result Of this treatment viii be
that all dark ftrs have regained their
freshness and hster, and that white furs
appear like newt Technical World Mag

AMMONIA FROM PEAT.
And The Process BY Which II Is Nov
Obtained.

A new English process for obtaining
ammonia from peat Il described by
Consul Halsteai Of birmingham. A great
difficulty In the commercial utilization
OF peat has always been the large
amount OF water Il contains, which nv-
crages 90 per cent. To eliminate the
existing moisture down 20 20 per cent.
i comparatively simple matter. but TO
reduce the moisture 20 a degree where
the peat can be utilized for fuel Is 4
long and expensive process.
The Wiltereck process has az last
overcome this difficulty. BY this new
method Il has been finally determined
on manufacturing scale that a mimi
mum yield Of per cent. o. suiphate Of
ammonia Is obtained from the peat, cal
culated as theoretically dry. The chief
products Of the Woltereck process, name
~, sulphatc Of ammonia and parafln
tar, have practically unlimited mark
et, and the market for acctic acid, acp-
tates. and their derivative-aceton
continually expanding. especially that Of
the latter. Of which enormous quantities
are required by the manufacturers Of
smokelcss powder. In addition, the ash
Of peat il salable % tho farmer "a a
cheap fertilizer, since Il contains potas-
SUM salts, lime and phosphoric acid in
available form. After the peat has UNI
dergone the necessary harvesting Il Is
conveyed to the works and automaticai-
ly fed into hoppers working with COM
pressed air and quickly dropped into the
furnaces. Here 10 Is subjected 20 moist
combustion by means OF a blast OF air
charged with water vapor at regulated
temperature. The resulting gases con-
tain paratfin tars, aeetie acid and am
monia. The paraflin tars are removed
by the Woltereck scrubber, which re-
tains all tarry matter without causing
any condensation and consequent loss of
ammonia. The acetic acid Is next abb
sorbcd In the aIkali tower, where the
gases meet a hot solution Of soda or
milk or lime and combine with Il to
form acetate Of soda OF Of lime, when
may afterward be treated for the recoy-
cry of acetic acid or the production of
acetone. The gases pass from the aikali
tower to the acid towers. where they
meet stream Of hot sulphuric acid,
which combines with the ammonia 20
form sulphate Of ammonia, the chief OBJ
iect Of the process. After the acid is
completely neutralized it is drawn off to
the erystallizing watts. The solution Of
the sulphate IS there further concen-
trated and allowed to crystalline, and
after centrifugalizing to remove any
adherent liquor, is ready for shipment.
The parafin tar is drawn Off from
the scrubber, when sample of the oil
therein solidiies on cooling. 1t Is then
subjected to distillation to remove the
lighter oils, and crude paraffin wax
worth about $3.50 ton remains with
out further publication. The acetate
solution obtained from the alkali tower
Is evaporated to dryness and distilled
with sulphuric OF hydrochloric acid to
obtain concentrated acetic acid, or can
be subjected to dry distillation to pro-
iuce misunderstanding American.
