A BIG LOCOMOTIVE
Story About an Alleged Engine
That is Said to Operate

The following story, written by a
railway man from South Africa, APP
peared in the February number OF
the Railroad Trainman:
Il am an engineer on the b. & 0.
Railroad. / was travelling through
Africa some time ago and saw the
most wonderful locomotive in the
world. ] want to tell you about it so
that you can let your readers know
that they have larger engines there
than they have here. This engine has
five acres of CRATE bars, four acres of
netting in the front end, and it took
man day and half to walk through
the cylinders. Every time she ex-
haustssit rains for twenty minutes.
There is an elevator that goes to the
headlight to hoist the oil, as it re-
quires five barrels to fill it: it takes
two men twenty-five minutes to light
one signal lamp. The engineman has
the X-ray to watch for signals and
after running six months he goes
blind 1t takes two astronomers with
powerful telescope to see her going,
and The glare of the headlight can be
seen through hill half-mlle thick.
1t took nine carpenters four months
to build the pilot They use steam
shovel to give her coal: the tender
holds twenty-seven car loads and
every time they wash the boiler it is
necessary to drain the SueZ Canal.
The pony trucks are as large as reg
ular turn-table here: the round-house
force holds picnic in the tirebox
every summer. 1t carries eight hun
dred and fifty pounds of steam and
three hundred pounds of air on the
train line. 1T can haul seventy-twO
loads and in good weather it might
walk off with seven hundred and
twenty-five. 1t runs from Kimberly
to Johannesburg, distance of nine
hundred miles: the wind of the train
| has been known to knock down mon
ster trees of the forest: the run is
| made in three hours and eleven min
utes. When it leaves the track there
is an earthquake in China four days
later. The throttle is pulled by a
stationary engine in the cab. The
lubricator holds five barrels of oil.
The train goes SO fast that when she
is stopped she is going ten miles per
hour"

AS TO POTATO SLED
Importance of Using Only the
Best Tubers When Pant
ing a Crop

There are two very common ana
destructive potato diseases in MIN
nesota. Both may be carried to new
fields by means of infected tubers:
both may also be avoided by proper
s.seed" selection or disinfection, and
by the use of unaffected land.
| Everyone is familiar with the COM
mon Scab, which causes the corky or
scabby patches on the tubers. The
disease is of fungous origin, and per-
sists both on the potatoes themselves
and i'm the soil. The same disease
attacks beets. turnips and cabbage,
and this fact must be taken into
account. There is danger of infec-
tion from two sources. viz: the
.'seed" potatoes and the soil. Danger
of infection from the 'seed' may be
removed by means of the formalIn
treatment. One pint Of formalln
should be used with 80 gallons of
water: the potatoes should be soaked
| i'm this solution for two hours. and
! NAV then be cut and planted. 1t is
necessary to plant them on clean
land-land that has not grown any
potatoes, beets, cabbageS or turnlps
! for period of four or five years
t scab-free crop is to result. The
presence of acid i'm the soil tends to
reduce the amount of scab, while
} alkalinity increases it. Naturally,
then, in planning rotation for po-
tatoes. it would be advantageous to
pillow under green crops, thus increas-
ing the acidity of the S oil. Treated
potatoes, planted on clean soil, should
produce scab-free crop.
I The Internal Brown Rot is rather
| common, causing decay of the po-
tatoes in storage. The potatoes may
shrivel and waste away, or may be
affected with soft rot, due to the
entrance of bacteria. The fungous
| threads live inside the tuber through
out the winter, and, if the air is dry
and cold, may not affect the potato
to any marked degree. However, it
is unsafe to plant such diseased po-
tatoes, since diseased crop is al
most sure to result. The disease
may persist in the soil for consider
| able periods: SO only clean potatoes
should be planted on clean land.
Treatment, such as is given for scab,
| will not prevent the occurrence of
| the brown rot. SO it is necessary to
select unaffected potatoes. This may
be done by cutting thin piece from
| the stem end: if brown discoration
is present, the potato should be re-
jected.
1t is essential, then, to select clean
seed potatoes to prevent the in
! ternal brown rot. Scabby potatoes
can be disinfected by treating them
with formalin. Both diseases live in
the soil for number of years, so it
is important to use clean 'seed' pO-
tatoes and to plant them on clean
land. e. c. Stakman, University

Unable to Determine Cause of Wreck

The Maine Board of Railroad COM
missoners have filed a memorandum
stating that they have been unable to
determine the cause of the wreck of
the Bar Harbor express at Annabes-
sacook station last June. The com
missioners say:
On June 8, 1911, an accident occur
red on the Maine Central r. r. a quar-
ter of mile east of Annabessacook
station, in which the tender and four
of the cars attached to train No. 30,
which was due to leave Portland at
Ills A. NJ. were derailed. The mail
clerk was the only person injured.
Believing that the public interests
required it, the railroad commission
ers made a thorough investigation in
to the cause of the accident They
examined the road bed the ties, the
rails, and engine No. 456, which was
involved in the accident and have
given careful consideration to the tes-
timcny of witnesses and experts. While
theories are entertained in relation to
1t, the commissioners are unable to
determine a cause for the accident ="

NAMES APPLE CROP
FOR 1871
Nearly n Million Bushels the Crop
Being Exceedingly in Excess of Last
Year.

The estimated apple crop of Maine
for 1911 is 90, 1000 barrels, or 100000
bushels, according to figures compiled
from a reliable source, which are now
agriculture" as stated by State Horti-
culturist Albert X. Gardner. The esti-
mated number of barrels produced
in the United States, according to fig
ures from the same source, which the
estimate is made for this state, is 49,
100000.
Names apple crop expressed in bar
rels from 1899 to 1911, that of the
present year being estimated. is as
follows. 1899, $4,000; 1900, $4,000;
1901, $4,000; 1902. 100000; 1903
100000; 1904, 1,425,OOO; 1909 $780,
900; 1906. 100000, 1907. 100000;
1903, 625.000 1909, $4,000; 1910. $780,
900; 1911, $4,000.
The number of trees in bearing in
1890 was 3.0O3, lO9. while in 1900 it was
4,184,781 and in 1910, 4,7S4 900, the fig
ures for 1910 being an estimate. The
production in bushels in 1899 was g.
071,471, in 1899, 1,421,775 and in 1911,
100000 (estimated1.
The percentage of this years Maine
crop in comparison with last is 115,
the output of last year being but S50,-
600 barrels. The quality of the fruit
is fair to good.
The percentage of Maine has not
quite kept pace with that Of the en-
tire United States, which was $50 per
cent, there being a decrease in New
England and the Southern and West
ern states and an increase in the Cen
trail and Middle states. The total es-
timated increase in the United States
in barrels is 100000. The bumper
apple year for the country, however
since 1895, was 1896, wher 100000
barrels were produced IN the United
States.
