Ind, where it is installed in large
rolling mill. The motor is rated to
develop 5000 horsepower. 1t is of
the three-phase 25-cycle type, and two
2,OOO-kilowatt turbines generate the
current necessary to operate it. The
motor receives the current at $500
volts. BY using step-by-step COZ
troller starting at 1880 volts, the mo-
tor was successfully started in the
proper direction, coming to full speed

Commander Peary's Introduction.

Some of my reasons for saying that
DR.. Cook did not go to the north pole
will be understood by those who read
the following statements of the two
Eskimo boys who went with him, and
who told me and others of my party
where he did go. Several Eskimos
who started with DR.. Cook from An
oratok in February, 1908, were at
Etah when I arrived there in August,
1908. They told me that Dr. Cook had
with him, after they left, two Eskimo
boys, or young men, two sledges and
some twenty dogs. The boys were
I-tooka-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. I had
known them from their childhood.
One was about eighteen and the other
about nineteen years of age.
On my return from Cape Sheridan
and at the very first settlement I
touched (Nerke, near Cape Chalon) in
August, 1909, and nine days before
reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me,
in general way, where DR.. Cook had
been; that he had wintered in Jones
Sound, and that he had told the white
men at Etah that he had been a long
way north, but that the boys who were
with him, I-toOk-a-shoO and A-pe-lah,
said that this was not SO. The Eski-
mos laughed at DR.. Cooks story. On
reaching Etah, talked with the Es-
kimos there and with the two boys
and asked them to describe Dr. Cooks
journey to members of my party and
myself This they did in the manner
stated below.

FormaIin sTreatment of Oats for the
Prevention of Smut.

Enormous losses occur annually from
the reduction of oat yields by the raw
ages of smut. This loss can be largely
if not entirely avoided by treating the
seed with formalin solution.
Formalin is 40% solution of formal
dehyde; it can be procured from or by
local druggists; the standard strength
should be guaranteed. The solution
most commonly used is made by adding
one pound or pint of formalin to from
forty to fifty gallons of water.
The treatment may be applied in one
of two ways, viz:
az. Clean carefully large area of
the granary or barn floor and saturate
with solution; upon this spread layer
of grain several or more inches in
depth. Apply formaldehyde solution to
grain with garden sprinkler and stir
well with shovel. Repeat the sprink-
ling and stirring until the grain is
thoroughly moistened and then shovel
into the smallest sized pile possible,
where it should remain not less than
two hours. Then spread the grain and
dry it sufficiently to pass through the
drill to be sown at once, or dry perfect
ly if seeding is delayed.
(2) Put the grain in gunny sacks,
about 4 bushels to each, and immense
from FIVE to ten minutes in a barrel,
tank, trough or other receptacle con-
tanning the formalin solution. A
draining board can be used to return
the drip, thus saving both time and
material Dry as heretofore described
under /. Drying may be fastened, in
both cases, by spreading the grain on
canvas sheets out in the air and sun
light. Bags or sacks other than those
used for dipping should be treated, in
GLIDING the grain drill.
In adjusting the seeder, allowance
must be made for the swelling of the
grain. Formalin should not be added
to the water until ready for USE The
results secured will depend largely on
thoroughness of application.
The same methods will apply in the
case of barley.
