In commercial way the apples on
Paradise stocks have not been grown
extensively enough to test them. 1t Is
generally considered that they require
too much care to be profitable when
grown on large scale. Some leading
fruit growers believe, however. that
the Doucin stock has great commercial
possibilities. 1t makes trees eighteen to
twenty feet high. They can be set from
q rod to twenty feet apart each way
and can be given the best of attention
owing to their moderate size.

DWARF APPLE TREES.

They Are Useful to Owners of Small
Plots of Lands.
The sketch was made from a Red
Astrakhan tree set two years before.
This was only one of hundred SINH
lar trees Of the same variety planted
by George t. Powell of Columbia coun-
ty. N. Y, who has taken up the culture
of dwarf apples. These Astrakhans
were propagated on Paradise stocks,
which make trees that If pruned prop

feet high. They can be planted ten
feet apart each way and when a few
years old will bear bushel to barrel

that followed one OF the men was

Peculiar Property Of Castings Put TO
Practical Use.

Why should an iron crate bar be-
come warped. twisted and cracked
after long useg
The reason appears to have been
discovered by Alexander E Outer
bridge. Jr, Of Philadelphia. who tells
us that cast iron when heated and
cooled swells so that a bar Of It
becomes not only longer but thicker,
and that this increase in size may con
tinue with subsequent heatlngs and
coolings until the volume of the bar
is 40 per cent larger than It was
originally.
Microscopic examination shows that
the texture Of the swelled bar has be-
come coarser grained. This discov-
cry, which was made about three
years ago is now put to practical use
In various ways.
For instance, gas engine piston
that had worn small was caused to
grow by this method until It again
fitted It's cylinder.
