The Air-Erake.

We read of accidents and col

has stated that on more than one
occasion the engine was found
with the throttle closed and the
airbrakes set. Again, how many
times we are told that the engin-
eer applied the air and stopped
the train Just in time to keep from
going into the river where bridge
was washed away, or, in going
over Il mountain road, "A large rock
had come down onto the track and
the train had to be stopped in a
very short distance to keep from
running INTO it. Yet, how few of
us understand about this wonder
full bit of machinery wonderful
because this appliance has made
travelling safer than formerly.
If il were not for these air brakes
we would not be travelling over
the country at the rate of sixty
miles per hour. for there would
be very small chance of stopping
in time in case of an accident, if
the engineer had to depend upon
the brakeman to stop the train by
setting the hand brakes us in the

Potato Irrigation.

OF all the crops grown in the
irrigated districts of the West, po-
tatoes are probably the easiest to
irrigate when the land has been
prepared for it.
With grains and alfalfa, most
growers simply food the land and
distribute the water as best they
can. This system is impractical
BILE with potatoes owing to the
prevalence of soil diseases. The
preparation for irrigation of pota-
toes begins with the planting The
machines with which the planting
is done, leave ridge over the
row of potatoes and soon after
planting, the cultivator goes
through and begins to raise this
ridge, and at the same time deep
en- the trench or furrow between
the rows. Each cultivation in
creases the height of this ridge
and deepens the furrow, so that
The La Jara chronicle., 1907-06-21
DEPARTMENT
Directed by the State Agricultural College

by the time it is necessary to ir-
rigate, in July, the so-called ditch
ing process is well started. Only
two or three civilizations are or
dinarily given potatoes, but the
cultivator is run at an unusual
depth. This deep cultivating, to
the uninitiated in the western sys-
TEN of farming seems like waste
of energy, or worse, as the roots of
the plants are severely pruned.
However, as this work is begun
before the plants make much
growth, the roots are kept back
and forced down, so the injury to
the plant is not so great as though
the work was delayed till the
plants are partly grown. This
deep cultivation also loosens the
soil so that the ditching plow can
easily 90 deep where it otherwise
would not do good work.
This ditcher. or middle breaker,
as it is called, is double mold
board plow. 1t is run through
each row once Just before it is de-
sired to irrigate. Sometimes, if
the vines do not get too large, the
ditching is repeated after the first
application of water.
When planting is to be done,
the growers take advantage of the
contour of the land, SO as to get as
long rows as possible where TIE
water will run freely either from
one end of the field to the other
or from the highest ridge of the
fields to the ends. A lateral is
plowed from the main ditch along
the heads of the rows, or across
the field at the highest line to run
the water into the field. a canvas
dam, which is piece OF canvas
six or eight feet square, one side
of which is tackled to pole, is
placed in this lateral where it will
stop the flow of water in the ditch
and turn it into as many rows of
the potatoes rs the head of water
will permit.
The amount of water run in the
rows at time, depends upon the
fall of the land. Where the land
is nearly level the rows are run
as nearly full as possible SO as to
push it along and get it across the
field before the land is overwatered.
On the other hand, if the pitch is
steep, very small stream is used,
so as to have time for the land to
take it up before it begins to waste
at the far end of the rows. In
either case care is taken to see
that the water does not get up to
the top of the ridge onto the
plants, for this condition is apt to
bring on some of the fungous dis
eases that trouble potatoes in the
irrigated belt.
Experiments have been made
and are still being carried on at
the Agricultural College, to note
the effects of different methods,
but the one described is universal
ly used and probably will give the

The Function of the Surveyor


There is more or less wide
spread misunderstanding of the
surveyor who is employed for the
purpose of making resurveys of
property lines. Unfortunately
this misunderstanding is not all
in the minds of those who employ
the surveyor. The surveyor him
self is often at fault in not realiz-
ing the limit of his power; and this
fact has been the cause of much
trouble for every body concerned.
The engineering schools of the
country are doing much to correct
wrong impressions in this matter
and the following are IA few plinci-
Piles for the guidance of the un-
initiated for the correctness of
(Which the Colorado Agricultural
College vouches:
The greatest trouble comes in
those cases where it becomes
necessary to take an old property
description and locate on the
ground the land which is described.
Assuming that the description
is by metes and bounds, and that
all the old corners can be found.
there arises no special difficulty.
The old corners govern the case
whether the recorded distances
or bearings exactly fit them or
not. Thus, a line starting at a
certain described point, a stone
for instance, and running n 30 de
grees E., 800 feet to IA certain 9TH
er point, say IA tree, will be regard
ed as running to that tree if the
distance is 302 feet or 295 feet,
and if the bearing varies from that
recorded. a description of a piece
of land as being certain we'll
known tract will be construed to
mean that that tract, even though
an included description by metes
and bounds does not correspond.
If the old corners have been
destroyed in whole or in part, the
? Surveyors work becomes work
i'll which the greatest judgment is
required. No surveyor has any
constitutional right to re-establish
a lost corner at any point, except
that where it originally stood.
If the old point cannot be found
then, in general, any act of the
surveyor is not final until ratified
in court. We make this as a gen
eral statement The state laws
often prescribe methods for relocat-
ing lost corners of the public land
surveys, but these methods involve
a hearing # all the property own
ers concerned. In other cases, the
property owners interested may
have an agreement among them
selves to abide by the decision of
surveyor they have employed.
But it is only by some such legal
form that the surveyors work be-
comes finally binding.
In such cases, then, the survey
or simply acts in the capacity of
AN expert advisor, whose findings
must be ratified by some legal
form before they become effective.
!. Volumes might be written on
the various phases of this subject
but the all important. idea is:
Don't attribute to the man you
employ, powers which he does not
possess The keeping in mind
of this principle would have saved
many law suits in the past, and
will do so in the future.

the engine, which pumps air into
large steele reservoir, also located
on the engine. and an air valve,
called the engineers valve and To-
Gated in a convenient place in the
cab of the engine, so it is handy
for the engineer: in fact it is so
arranged. on most mountain roads
at least, SO the engineer can stand
with one hand on the throttle and
the other on the air valve.
The equipment for the car con-
sists of AN air pipe, called the train
line, running from end to end of
the car, valve known as the
triple valve, the brake cylinder, in
which the air is forced when the
brakes are set. and IA small, steele
reservoir, called the auxiliary res
ervoir, in which air is stored un-
til ready to use, in the brake cyl
| inder.
All the air that goes into the
auxiliary reservoir has to go
through the triple valve, and. ne
cessarily it all has to return
through the valve in order to get
out and into the brake cylinder.
Now, consider the bra line,
the auxiliary reservoir and the
main reservoir on the engine to be
full of air at the required pressure,
which is about seventy pounds to
the square inch. and that the en-.
gineer wishes to stop the train, the
action of the brake equipment is
as follows: The engineer releases
the air from the train line which
he can do by putting the engin-
eers valve in a certain position.
and by doing so. the pressure in
the auxiliary reservoir. under each
car, is more than the pressure in
the train line and this acts on the
triple valve causing it to change
its position, and allows the air
from the auxiliary reservoir to go
through different passage through
the triple valve, to which it travelled
in getting to the auxiliary, and by
this passage it finds its way to the
brake cylinder. Thus the press
ure increases in this cylinder, and
by ii system Of levers the brake
beam, with the iron shoe, is forced
against the face of the car wheel
and as this action is the same on
every car, the train comes to a
quick or slow stop, according to
the amount of air released from
the train line at the option of the
engineer.
Now, when the engineer wishes
to release the brakes, he moves
the engineers valve to another
position and this lets the air from
the main reservoir on the engine,
pass into the train line again. and
brings that pressure up to the us
ual seventy pounds, as before and
by this action the triple valve
| under each car is again changed,
allowing the air to 90 from the
train line into the auxiliary reser-
voir under the different cars. At
the same time and by the same
movement of the triple valve, let
ting the air that is in the brake
cylinder escape to the atmosphere
through another opening, thus re-
leasing the brakes.
On mountain roads where the
brakes have to be on practically
all the time when going down
grade, there is il special valve on
the brake cylinder that will not
allow all the air to escape to the
atmosphere when the brakes are
released, but will keep a small
pressure of from five to ten pounds
always in the cylinder.
