ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.
Experiments in Machinery
Equipment of Ships Of War.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau
washington. February

NEW NAVAL DEVICES-Naval ensi-
neers are profoundly interested in TWO de-
vices soon TO be installed for experimental
purposes. and which are likely to affect ma
tcr;ally the machinery equipment Of ships
If war one is g mechanism designed 10
operate the turbine on an economical basis
Great hopes are entertained that it will
solve the problem in favor of the turbine,
Is against the reciprocatins engine, which
hss now been adopted as the motive power
Of batteships II has been found from the
records Of the home voyage Of the North
Dakota and the Delaware. from European
waters, that the turbine driven ship Is
vastly more expensive TO run than the YES
sci driven bv recprocating engines. There
has been installed Oh board the new naval
collier. which is TO 20 into commission with
in the next three months, a reduction gear
Cne Of the inventors Of which is Rear Ad-
miral c. w Melville, former engineer in
chief of the navy. BY means OF this mech
aIhsm it is hoped to operate turbines at an
economical speed. which is not now possible
Tie same ship will have a new device by
which the engine can be stopped OF started
By the officer on the bridge. This IS an en-
tirely new idea and the naval engineers be
l,eve il will not remain in service, as 1t in
Il oduces an element Of uncertainty and is
apt to confuse the officer in charge of the
engines by taking from him absolute con-
troi of the mechanism. This collier will
h, subjected to a series Of runs in order
tia, the experts may become ACQUAINTED
With the merits Of the machinery.
Still another device which has been un-
der consideration by tho General Board and
the aid for material is syroscope, by
means Of which II is intended 10 prevent
tEt rolling Of the vessel n will be in
stalled ct considerable expense on board
one of the smaller ships. and will be fully
tested before it is generally adopted. Great
expectations are entertained for this de-
vice, and II will have an unusual military
value if successful, because it will promote
the stability OF the warship as q gun plat
form. and thus add 10 the accuracy Of naval
craftsmanship. This is a most important
factor. as II means an increase in the hit
ting power Of the battery OF a ship

of fruit or vegetables. and like the
doctor. tho more patience We have
the more money we make.
Soil which has grown vegetables Is
generally sufficiently fertile to pro-
duce a large yield Of Strawberries.
Soil in which potatoes have been
grown is ideal.
Strawberries and vegetables can be
sold from the same wagon at the
same time. and II you have berries
of high quality 1t will aid you in SELL
ing your vegetables. because fancy
grocers always are on the lookout for
fruit of the choicest quality. The
game is true of the commission mer-
chant. and If you sell to private fami-
lies you will find the housekeeper
wants the best.
To the gardener who has never
grown Strawberries. but would like to
combine them with his vegetable busi-
ness, let me suggest that you begin in
a small way, and increase your acre
age as experience and local condi-
tions may Justify you in doing.
Many commercial gardeners know
from experience that Strawberries
make a profitable addition to their
vegetable business. No other crop
with which l have ever had any expe-
rience will yield as many dollars per
| acre, and do 1t in so short a time, as
Strawberries. It Is not an uncommon
thing to get reports from growers who
are realizing anywhere from $500,
$500. $1,000 to $1,000 per acre each
year from their strawberries. Reports
OF the larger quantities generally
come from strawberry growers who
have the advantage Of a long fruiting
season. Last winter. while studying
the conditions and possibilities OF
strawberry growing in the south.
met men in southern Texas who told
me that their strawberries made them
from $500 to $1,000 per acre each
year. On the Pacific coast and in the
inter-mountain states, I met men who
were doing even better than this.
In Michigan. my own state. many
growers are realizing from $500 to
$500; In Minnesota some growers re
port equal results. and the same ID
true In the east In fact. in all states
the growers who are following inten
sive methods are making splendid
showings and all seem to be more

Trees which have been more than

the case OF trees over three or four
years Of age all sprouts may be per-
mitted to stand the first season, and
all but the most thrifty may be re-

cases all but the most thrifty may be

For some years catalpa, mulberry
and other trees commonly grown have
suffered considerable injury by the
attacks of field mice. These rodents
gnaw the bark about the base Of the
trees to a greater or less degree. which
frequently results In a complete cir.
die. When girdlIng occurs below the
root crowns the trees usually die.
There are no practical means Of ex-
terminating field mice. although Ger.
tain operations are helpful in prevent.
Ing their attacks on trees 1t has been
observed that injury is greater and
more general when dead grass. mulch
or debris of any kind lies close to the
trees. Materisi Of this nature affords

Three Appropriation Bills.

There are now before the State
Legislature Of Colorado three appro-
priation bills which have a very direct
and important relation to the irriga-
tion development of this state. These
bills were introduced by Senator Car
penter and have not yet been report
ed out by the finance committee.
The first bill is entitled IAN act
concerning division of Topographic
surveys. providing for the manage.
ment and duties Of the same, and for
cooperation by such division with the
United States geological survey. and
making an appropriation therefor"
The appropriation named in the bill
Is $4,000 annually. The nature OF q
United States geological survey map
is probably known to every one who
has been interested either in mining,
irrigation or engineering work. These
maps show the topographic features Of
the land. such as mountains. hills. val

such as lakes. marshes, streams and
springs; the routes Of travel. such as
railroads. wagon roads and trails.
cities, towns and permanent build
ings, and the names OF natural and
other features, as well as permanent
monuments which are available as
starting points for local surveys, town
ships. section lines. boundaries and
land grants. They serve a great varie-
ty of purposes. but are especially val
liable in connection with preliminary
locations OF railroads. canals and high
ways. and are very useful to prospec-
tive investors and settlers in making
a study of the country In which they
propose to locate. They are also very
valuable to travellers. prospectors. etc..
as guide maps. They are very useful
in the study of water powers and tho

In the growing of Strawberries, you
