The machinery of modern wind
mill is just as far advanced over the
rude machinery of the windmill of
fifty years ago as is the works of
fine watch over the works of a dollar
alarm clock. One type of wind tur-
bine, for instance, consists of a wheel
about 16 feet in diameter mounted
upon steel tower so feet in height.
The entire wind wheel is of gal
vanized steel, and all its moving parts
run on ball bearings. Its transmission
gear works in an oil bath and, ac-
cording to Popular Mechanics, the best
methods known to engineering have
been adopted in order to eliminate fric-
ton and enable the wheel to make the
best of light winds.
The result is that even in a wind
having velocity of no higher than
six miles an hour the turbine gener-
ates electricity. Such an electric gen.
orator and switchboard and a fifty
five cell storage battery as its cleo.
trical apparatus. The wheel is always
in running position, ready to make use
of every puff that comes, and it stead
lily makes and stores current except
in times of absolutely still weather.

Cold storage.

Cold storage, properly employed, fur
nishes a means of conservation and
the prevention of waste that should
inure to the general benefit. In prac.
tice it has been made to serve as a
means of maintaining higher prices in
the season of plenty and of intolerable
prices in the season of lesser supply
When prices are naturally declining
they are checked to be afterwards
punished to unnatural limits as oppor
tunity is created by squeezing the mar
ket through a combination of cold-stor-
age spectators.

One OF Lord Kelvin's fayorite expert
ments while teaching natural philoso-
ply at the University Of Glasgow was
to spin an egg which was suspended
in the air. If the egg were hard boiled
1t would spin long time; otherwise.
owing to the friction between its con.
tents and the shell. its motion would
soon cease. Lord Kelvin inferred from
this that the interior of the earth can
not be q. fuid. or the globes rate of
rotation would have been checked long
ago. Once the students substituted
raw eggs for the hard-boiled ones pro-
vided for the experiment Not one
would spin properly. but Lord Kelvin
was not to be fooled None of them

How to Use Commercial Fertilizers.
If fertilizers are used. the following
general rule should govern: On rich
lands use mainly fertilizers that will
stimulate the fruit and not the stalk
growth. On lighter lands use more Of
the elements to force growth, combined
with others which will mature the
fruit
High grade IA per cent acid phos-
phate may be considered basis for

percentage of nitrogen added to the

stiff or gummy soils to loosen them
up, permit the air to enter and pre-
vent sour condition of such soils
when too wet.
On this or impoverished soils equal
quantities of cotton-seed meal and
acid phosphate can be used to advan-
tase.
In case the foregoing can not be
obtained, standard-grade commercial
fertilizer may be used. These should
contain in the mixture to 10 per
cent of available phosphoric acid, 2 to
per cent of nitrogen and IL to 2
per cent of potash. or on some lands
a high grade acid phosphate, IA per
cent may be used.
years of cropping, more fertilizer
should be used to the acre, and 1t
should contain about equal parts OF
cotton seed meal and high grade acid
phosphate. The beneficial effect OF
commercial fertilizers depends largely
upon the presence Of humus in the soil,
hence the importance of using stable
manure and blowing under green
crops. In applying the foregoing in
structions the farmer must use con-
siderable judgment and modify MS
practice where necessary to Mt local
conditions.
