tirelessly over the bleak steppes Of Russia

prairies or brush lands TO be reclaimed and

The steam engine as applied TO farm
work was primarily designed to furnish
power for thrashing and for such work as
could be operated in a relatively level and
stationary position. In those cases where
q became necessary to travel over soft or
uneven ground It proved fundamentally un-
suitable Its great weight made it sink
and exhaust its power in forward move

her and complexity Of parts defeated the
n,rpose OF the machine. Its horizontal

engineer and a fireman, man TO haul coal
and man to haul water. The expense OF
the steam plough ran all the way from 81

since have been busy handing out checks.
The greatest advance In farm engineering
was made when an inventor applied the

Soldering Aluminium.

Among the latest methods tried for
soldering aluminium is one due to a
Norwegian who cleanses. the alum
mum surfaces by immersion in an
electrolytic bath and plates copper on
them, after which he has no difficulty
in soldering the coppered surfaces to
each other. Offhand, this sounds like
a complicated process, but the ease
and speed with which electroplating
can be done makes 1t comparatively
simple and it may be one solution of
the vexatious problem of joining
pieces of aluminium.
