Alcohol Farm Engines.

The use of power other than horse
power is yearly becoming more gener-
al on the farms of the United States.
Gasolene is at present used largely as
the source of this power, but it is pos
sible under the provisions of the alco-
hol law which went into effect on jan
uary /, 1907, that denatured alcohol
gines in agricultural operations, and
may to some extent displace gasolene.
With a view to determining. prinei
pally what changes, II any, are neces-
sary In the gasolene engine to adapt 1t
to the use of alcohol, and to investi-
gate further whether it will be eco
nomical for the farmer to make use of
the new fuel, the Department of Agri-
culture has carried on an extensive Sc
ries Of trials and experiments, the re-
published in farmers bulletin, "The
Use of Alcohol and Gasolene in Farm
Engines" for gratuitous distribution
These tests have established the fact
that 1t is possible to use alcohol in any
engine designed for the use Of gasoline
although that use may be decidedly un-
economical unless certain changes are
made In the vaporizing device and in
the compression pressure.
Another important fact developed by
the tests was that fuel economy, wheth-
er the fuel is gasolene or alcohol, is
largely a matter of adjustment, and
from the discussions Of this matter it
is probable that the running cost Of
such engines may be materially de-
creased. The principles Of operation
and the various parts of the explosion
engine are discussed In a particular
way, thus making the publication one
which should prove Of much value and
interest to the progressive and up-to-
date farmer.-New York Tribune.

good results. Where they went this

The Work of the X.Ray.

The invaluable X-ray has again
saved human life in a remarkable
manner after medical skill, unaided by
the Roentgen discovery, had been ut.
terly baffled. A two and one-half inch
nail, which for nine months had been
imbedded in the bronchial tube of
Isldor Berkowitz, Of 40 Forsyth street,
was removed by surgeons of the Beth
Isreal Hospital as soon as they had
located it with the rays.
During the nine months doctors pro-
nounced the throat clear, yet the child
had intermittent commissions and
grasped madly at his neck and chest.
The case was a puzzle until Dr.. Fran
els Huber decided to employ the rays.
He saw the nail clearly, and on No
vember 21 performed delicate opera
ton Nothing was made public
about the case until yesterday, when
the surgeon announced that the boy
had recovered completely and would
be out today.-New York American.

A New Kind Of Red Clover.

The great value of clover in all sys-
tens of farming makes it desirable to
be on the lookout for any possible
improvements of this plant in definite
directions. The Bureau Of Plant Indus
try has been experimenting with new
form of red clover which came from
the blacksoil region of Russia. The
plant is practically hairless, and, there
fore, does not hold dust like the COM
mon red clover For this reason 1t is
believed that it will make a better
forage plant for horses, since it will
be much less likely to cause, heaves,
and it will be much cleaner and more
convenient to handle. Bloating in cat
tie is, perhaps, due, in part, to the
presence of hairs on common clover.
If this be true, the trouble would be
obviated by feeding the new hairless
Orel clover.
Another objection to the common red
clover is that it natures much earlier
than timothy, with which it is usually
sown. 1t is thus impossible to har-
vest the mixture at time when the
full value of both the clover and tim
othy can be obtained. The new Orel
clover natures two weeks later than
the common red kind, or at the same
time with the timothy, and at a sea-
son when the farmers attention is
not so imperatively demanded for his
corn, and also at time when in the
most of the clover belt the weather is
more favorable for harvesting the crop
without injury by rain.

Carnations in Pots,

Plants in flower and those showing
for bloom will need slight increase
of temperature to keep them gently
moving. Give air as often as the wealth
er permits, and continue to assist the
plants with weak stimulants. Marguer-
ite carnations in bloom must also have
a little more warmth than hitherto, if
the plants are to continue Towering.
These as they become exhausted may
be thrown away. Pay particular care
to the watering of Malmaisons, and
keep the young plants as cool as pos
sible without admitting frost to the
house.

Improvement of the Soil.

George T. Powell, president Of the
Agricultural Experts Association of
New York. in an address on Improve
ment of the Soil, the Basis of Success
full Dairyiny," said that good watch
maker must be capable of putting to-
gether all Of the parts of a watch, so
that they will work in harmony. So 1t
is with the man who builds the steam
engine, but their lines do not COM
pare with the complexity that comes
to the man who has to deal with the
soil and the land. If the earth should
cease to produce, human life would
cease for all time.
Mr.. Powell then spoke of the i'm
mensity of the agricultural products Of
this country. He said that their value
for 1905 was s6,333, 900, 900 and Sc 500 :
100000 for 1906. Mr.. Powell said that
the farm needs to be studied as close
ly as the manufacturer studies the pro-
duct of his factory. With the aid OF
maps Mr.. Powell discussed and ex.
planned soil formations. He said that
sandy soil was not well adapted for
dairying as it does not hold moisture
and thereby has not sufficient plant
food, especially nitrogen. The profits
in dairying are closely related to pro-
ductivity of the soil. In dairying work
it is not only necessary that the yield
be good but that the food should be of
the highest nutrition. Mr.. Powell told
of some of his experiences on his own
farm with crimson clover and red clov-
er. He said that preparation of the
soil for the crops to be grown Is i'm
portant and there were few operations
on the farm that were more important
than that of plowing. The finer the
soil is made through tillage before the
seeds are sown the more readily they
will get the food necessary for their
growth.
There should be winter cover crop
of some kind on all cultivated fields.
Mr.. Powell said. Fields should be har-
rowed as soon after they are plowed
as possible, to save the evaporation.
if the land is not fit to be narrowed
just after plowing, it is not fit to be
plowed The object of the dairy farm
er should first be to build up herd Of
high-yielding cows and to cut out
those that do not yield. He must build
up and improve the soil and he said
that we are now in the infancy of the
best agricultural development that the
world has ever seen.
