sued the tenth annual report of the
Ecgeley sub-station. This station was
the first established by the state un-
der the direction OF the North Dakota
Agricultural college and numerous ex-
perlments have Deer carried on there
Tor a series OF years.
The station has impressively dem
onstrated the successes that can be
attained in North Dakota from the
proper care and cultivation of ap-
pies, cherries, pluns, g]ooseberries
c%urrants, raspberries and strawber
rles.
Some of the results of the last
years tests are interesting. In the
amount OF seed to be used on each
acre it was shown that the best re.
suits were secured from seven pecks
OF durum, six OF fife wheat, eight of
oats and six of barley.
Subsoil tests through a series of
years have gotten good results. Last
season it didn't increase durum yields
but fife wheat yielded four bushels
more and oats II II. Dynamiting the
land got decreased yields.

easeha'tPitching Gun For Batting
Practice,

III
A baseball-pitching gun, invented
some years ago by Trof. {. II. Hinton
OF Princeton university, is described,
with illustrations, in the June POpu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. This gun,
resembling a cannon in appearance,
and hurting the ball by means. Of gas
shot into its breach from an ordinary
repeating rife, was not designed to
take the place of a pitcher in a game.
but TO give batters an opportunity for
unlimited practice.
lhlS gun was successful in that it
would actually throw curves and
throw them accurately, but there was
one defect that could not be over
come, due to the human equation"
The gun never failed to inspire fear
in the batter. That the batter would
know just when the ball was coming,
an clectri" wire was run to the bat
ter's box. and by stepping on the plate
the circuit as closed ind the blank
cartridge in the rifle fired. The aver
age batter would step on this plate
and then jump back about I feet, let
ting the ball 60 by. Anothc. draw
back was the fact that the hot gases
soon acted on the covers of the balls
and made them as hard as bricks.
An almost unlimited range of speed
was obtained by making the tube con
meeting the breech of the gun, into
which the rifle was discharged, tele,
scopic. The shorter the tube, the
greater the force. Rubber-faced curry
ing fingers, adjustable to any plane
about the muzzle, caused the ball to
curve, out or "in," or "c:op," diner
ent sets of fingers giving different
degrees of curve.

PULLMAN employees
MAY10RGlh|zE UNION
Movement Among 10000 Con
ductors and Porters May
Result in Organization.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Coincident
with the incorporation at Springfield,
Of the Federation of Pullman Con-
ductors of America and the Fedora
ton of Pullman Porters Of America,
a rumor was started here to the effect
that these organizations might be the
first steps toward the forming Of. a
real union of $1,000 or 10000 con-
ductors and porters employed by the
Pullman company.
Up to the present time, all efforts
at organization along union lines have
been frustrated by the company. al
though the conductors have a mutual
benefit association and the porters
have several local fraternal bodies.
That the Pullman employees certain
ly need a union to protect their in
terests is evident from the fact that
the conductors wages range from but
$40 to sos per month, an dthe COL
ored porters are paid only from $25
to $40 a month. Either class of en-
ployes is absolutely helpless in case
cranky official exercises the right
of discharge or discipline.
