Russian Thistles AS Fuel

Our readers will be surprised to know
that use has been discovered for Rus
sian thistles. Mr.. and Mrs. j. Z. Payne
for years connected with experimental
dry farm work in this state at Akron
but now with the Oklahoma agricul.
tural college at Goodwel!, Oklahoma
are well remembered.
Mrs. Payne has wrett;n an article on
on Russian Thistles as Fuel'' which
will interest every reader and especially
those who have a few tons of thistles
piled up along their fences. The ar
ticle follows:
1t is true that we Go not enjoy having
our blessings thrown at us. The dis
guse seems perfect indeed when the
heavy winds pile up tons of Russian
TListles against the fences and in the
low places. A blessing indeed! A pest
instead, they seem!
Everyone who has set fire to pile of
these thistles knows what an intense
heat is given off by them. We need
winter for comfort We can use some
even in the summer in the kitchen.
Since there is much heat in these
thistes and since we need heat, let us
put them where they will do the most
good. When well ripened or when cut
and dried the thistles burn rapidly.
By pressing them into blocks we may
be able to use them to an advantage
One simple machine has been made for
this purpose. 1t is crude but it shows
the idea. An upright box is made OF
heavy lumber, using two pieces of 2x6
inch material and two pieces of 2xS inch
stuff, each /. feet long. This makes
the inside of the box 4x6 inches. The
box is held steady by four legs of inch
lumber. A hopper of inch lumber is
put on above this. 1t is a foot square
at the top and tapers to the size of the
box where it joins The thistles are
tampted with a heavy crow bar against
movable block of wood at the bot
tom of :hb box. They are handled
best just after shower or a heavy
dew, Ii the weather is dry the thistles
need to be dapmened to shape we'll
1t is advisable to use gloves in handling
the material.
This machine is not costly you see,
but could be made and used by any
homesteader who has thistles to burn
The machine is just about one-lot-gar-
den size. We need one that can work
up ton or so at tlme.-Mrs. j. E..

Green Waters of the Nile.
the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The green water of the Nile is quite
a different thing from the green water
of the ocean.
About April Is the Nile begins its an
nual rise and a month later the effect
is felt in Khartum. A very curious phe-
nomenon accompanies this Increase IN
the appearance OF the green water.
For a long time it was believed that
the color came from the swamps of the
upper Nile lying isolated and stagnant
under the tropical sun and polluting the
waters with decaying vegetable matter
With the spring rise this fetid water was
supposed to be swept into the streams TO
make its appearance in Egypt
Within recent times, however, TINS the
ory has been abandoned. Now, We are
advised the green water is caused by the
presence of innumerable numbers OF MI
croscopfc algae, offensive to the taste
and smell They originate away up In
the tributaries and are carried TO the
Nile where under the hot sun and in the
clear water they increase with amazing
rapidity, forming columns from 20 to
500 miles IN length. .
The weeds continue to grow, die and
decay until the turbid flood waters put
them to an end, for they cannot exist
except in clear water
Offensive as in some respects the green
water is it is hailed with delight by the
Fgyptians. since its appearance is sign
of the real flood time and the close OF ...e
water famine.
