RAILROAD PLANTING TREES.

Catalpa Grown for Timber by the
Pennsylvania on a Tract in Indiana.
The Pennsylvania Railway west of
Pittsburg has entered upon careful
experiment in forest planting in
Indiana
The company owns a farm Of sixty
five acres in kosciuskO county, which
has been set aside for thorough ex-
pertinent with the Catalpa speciosa
for the production Of timber for rail
way purposes.
The tract is about tnrcefourths of
mile in length along the north side of
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago tracks and adjoining the right
OF way grounds.
In the summer of 1906" says the
writer in Arboriculture, Il was re-
quested by the Pennsylvania Railway
officials to make an examination of
this Kosciusko county farm and re-
port upon the praticability of plant
ing it with Catalpa speciosa trees. AS

land was ploughed and preparation
made for work.

ling trees were secured and planted Z
by Z feet apart. Upon the outer
edges of the tract three rows were
doubled to serve as windbreak.
They were thoroughly cultivated dur
ing the season and the worst of the
weeds and grass sod were destroyed.
"On November we visited the
tract and found that, excecting a re-
markably small number of trees broken
down and torn out by the plough, all

Upon the gravel knobs the height
was quite regular and about four feet

muck lands showed an average OF
about six feet. Probably one third Of

THE EARLY CARE OF APPLE
TREES OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
Preparation Planting. Pruning
Are Essential Successful Growfh-By Ernest
Walker, HortieuIturist. Arkansas.

Deep preparation of orchard land
year or two previous to setting trees
is highly desirable. Wet places should
be drained and perhaps lined. Poorer
soils should also be well fortified
and have the manures worked deeply
Into the soil. Special attention must
be given to thin places. Such a prep
aration favors a vigorous start, and
deep roofing system. Cultivation
should begin with the setting of the
trees or the spring following.
Rather deep blowing for the first
two or three years, being careful not
to run too close to the trees, encour-
ages deeper roots. At this time we
are laying the foundation of the future
orchard, and very much depends on
this period in the history of the or
chard. Some will have nothing but
whole roots" and some set trees
deeply in the hope of forcing a deep
running root system; but attention to
the suggestion above made and to such
practice as will make the soil COM
Portable to the roots will be far more
productive of the results desired than

cooled gasolene of the v type, such as
has been generally used in airship
work, and is placed below the propell.
er shaft and as near to it as possible.
The engine belts to a driving wheel
on the propeller shaft, which reduces
tbs revolutions of the propeller to $50
per minute
This machine" says Mr.. Curtiss in
Popular Mechanics, although OF no
commercial value, is thoroughly prac-
teal and will easily run so miles per
hour. The propeller is six feet in d.
ameter and has a pitch of about 5k
feet.
1T is needless to say that the rig
Is q great horse scarer, and blows up
great cloud of dust when passing
along the road, and will even pull the
leaves from the trees where the
branches are low"
The machine complete weighs 300
pounds. There is no patent on the
idea and anyone with his small gaso-
lene motor can build his own craft.
AN iceboat can also be driven in the
same manner.
The idea has just been utilized in
France. where M. Archdeacon of Arch
eres applied the propeller to a motor
cycle. In his case the propeller was
carried in front, which had the effect
OF pulling instead of pushing. The en-
tire outfit weighs 100 pounds and
made speed of 491s miles per hour
over short distances.

has raised the question as to whether
the married or the bachelor officer is
the better. On one side it is urged
that yourg married man is keener,
steadier and more reliable than his
less fortunate unmarried comrades,
yet many commanding officers have a
strong objection to their subaiterns
marrying, their contention being that
1t detracts from the efficiency of reg.

this principle his two aides-de-
camp who are about to enter the
welded state will be obliged to
leave his service. The married
officer does not support the mess,
but his expenses in other ways
are about three times as much
as when he was single. The item of
clothes for himself and wife is, it is
urged, more than three times as large
as when he had only to provide for
himself.

Fixing Damaged Furniture.

Where there are fine, pin-like
scratches on new furniture they may
be easily removed by using pulverized
rotten-stone that can be bought ready
for use. This put on soft flannel rag
and rubbed into the surface of the
seat, back or arms of chair or onto
the top of a table will not only take
on the defects, but bring polish to
the wood.
To remove the rotten-stone, with a
damp piece of channels carefully wipe
the wood, and when all trace of that
is gone bright luster can be brought
to the surface of the wood by rubbing
lightly with soft piece Of cheese
cloth moistened with alcohol. The
latter must be used sparingly on fur
niture, for it burns the varnish and
win ruin the appearance Of the rocker
or table If enough is put on to scorch
the surface.
