MILWAUKEE, TESTS
A new INVENTION

Aberdeen. 5. d., Jan. 3.-An extensive
duced by w Fl. Brown, Il locomotive
engineer of Minneapolis. is being made
on All engine on the Milwaukee road
out of this city, which it attracting ON.
siderable attention from railroad men
all over the country, and which prom.
iseS to be of immense value to the
roads.
The invention is a cylindrical iron
box placed on top of the boiler be-
hind the smoke stack, and the object
OF 1t is to heat the water before it
passes into the boiler. AT present the
boiler is fed by the injector with wa
ter direct from the tank and at a low
temperature. BY the use of his de-
vice. the water led to 1t through the
injector. is heated TO Il high degree by
the use of the exhaust steam which
is commonly put to no use.
Within the climber are 40 small fiues
through which the water passes and
as all surfaces of these flues are ex-
posed to the great heat of the live
steam. it requires no time at all fois
the water to become heated and il en-,
tiers the boiler from 200 to 30o Fahren9
heit. |
Advantages Are Many. (;
The advantages of heating the wal
ter III this are many. A great
saving Of fuel is made i'm more than
one way. Less coal is needed to heat
the water and the mou of coal that
is used is more thoroughly sun
the gases being also available for comt
bustion, thereby reducing the arnount
of smoke emitted.

An exhibit at the recent state fair which attracted a great deal of atten- tion in one of Alabamas s growing in- dustries was that of thoroughbred hogs. In this department it is said by experts. hogs of better breeding and class have not been shown in any fair. The very fact that one of the herds exhibited took the worlds champion ship at the national fair at St Louis several years ago.
 The exhibitors also found that the interest in hogs in Alabama, rarticu- larly in the thoroughbred kind. was sufficient to demand good prices for those exhibited. one or two of the ex- hibitors selling their herds to promi- nent farmers from different sections of the state.
 Those herds on exhibit at the fair comprised the following prize win ners:
 Berkshires. J. W. Russman, Secre- tarv of the Nashville Fair Associa- tion; T. U. Jones of Orville, and R. E. Jones of Greenville. Warren W.
