The Harmony Branch of the Solon

u.. Of Magnets In Flour Mills.

Explosions are often caused in -four
mills and breweries by nails or other
iron particles that find their way In
the grain and which when they strike
the steel rolls OF the mills produce
sparks and ignite the finely pulverized
material about them.
Recently large mailing concern
that has been troubled by many such
explosions installed set Of electro
magnets over which the grain is passed
before being prepared for shipment to
the breweries. All iron particles in the
grain are picked up by the magnets
and 500 to 1000 bushels Of grain are
cleaned an hour. When the magnets
have collected a large amount Of metal
they are swung to ane side. de-ener,

Why the Worm Turned.

4 prominent feminist In France,
Mile. Glare de Pratz. who is also known
in England as a novelist. was telling
the other day why she became a femin-
ist in the first instance. 1t appears
that when the men students at the
Sorbonne realized that women not only
could compete with them but could
beat them. they were annoyed and
when on one years list three women's
names came out on top the authorities
decided that in future two lists must
be published, one for men and one for
women. In that way no comparisons
could be drawn and the amour propro

IrriyatlnE Potatoes


of any of our crops, but they
need it late in thel season; and
this crop should be grown only
where the late water-supply is as
sured.
Proper moisture conditions
should be proved by fall irrigat-
ing and blowing, in loose soil; or,
in heavier soils. by diskinglas the
frost goes out in the spring. that
the ground may hold the tsnow
and lose as little water as posi-
BILE. Soil that cake should, be
plowed late in the spring, tatter
irrigation. Thus, a supply OF
moisture will be secured beneath
the roots. and watering the pota-
toes will be unnecessary until late
and the plants well along. 1.-The
gradual feeding up of water fro m
beneath is much better.so long as
it lasts, than irrigation, which sud-
denly furnishing surplus of
water, is.apt to cause over setting
or resetting.
Hence. the.rule not to-irrigate
until the potatoes have set. or at
any rate until the plant rshow
signs of distress. In the case of
early potatoes the tubers are set
early and water must be used
early, or the crop will be made
without it. In very dry years,
setting of late potatoes may hold
off so long, even with moisture
present, that the stimulus OF
irrigation is required to start the
tubers. Except on gravely or
steep lands. water should be ap-
piled first only in every other row,
TO avoid over stimulation. Then,
the alternate row is to be irriga-
ted soon. and after that every row
at intervals that keep the root
soil moist that growth may be
steady and the tubers free as
may be from second growth.
Irrigation should cease long
enough before harvest so the
tubers can mature in dry earth
and be we'll cured. To have the
ground wet during the last growth
produces tubers that are watery
and that shrink badly. To have
the ground very wet by irrigation
or rain after growth ceases make
the dirt stick to the potatoes.
