The story Of the keely notor hoax
will live long. Its Interest will be en-.
hanced BY the preservation In the
franklin institute Of the model OF
the remarkable motor that Keely built
to deceive intending investors and en-
rich It's inventor until the fraud was
exposed after Keely's death.
For twenty-five years Keely astound-
ed eminent scientists Of Europe and
America with the machine that he
claimed had solved the secret Of per-
petual motion. The inventor Of this
machine would start his device going,
apparently. BY playing a tune on q
mouth organ. He convinced many
clever men that he told the truth. and
stock In the new concern sold freely.
To the day Of his death Keely de-
clared that his discovery ri q gen.
uine one. and It was only when the
house In which the machine was
placed was thoroughly ~overhauled that
the colossal fraud was discovered.
Keely had wired the walls Of the
building. he ran his machine BY high
pressure hydraulic power. When the
wires attached to the machine were
the subject Of investigation Keely
would Ole them to show that they
were solid and could not be used for
any purpose other than that for which
they were attached.
Pieces of wire thus died are to be
seen ut the Franklin institute. The
broken pieces show that the wires
were hollow and that the inventor Of
the wonderful motor carefully stopped
his ding short Of perforating the cen
ter. which would have exposed the
fraud. Scientific American.

A HORSES PULLING POWER
Determined By GRADES
Dean Raymond Of Iowa Univsrsit,
Brings Up New Qu.sNion.

A totally new element has been
brought into the good roads question
by Dean william G. Raymond. head
Of the college Of engineering Of the
State university of Iowa. in an address
before the johnson county good roads
convention.
Although Dean Raymond Is working
state to 60 in with its eyes open and
consider all the problems. This one
relates to grades.
with dirt roads," said Dean Ray.
mond. 1.-The pulling power of a team Of
horses is limited more by the condi-
ton of the surface of the road than by
the steepness Of the grades. But with
concrete. brick or macadam roads the
pulling power Of a horse On the level
is immensely increased. and 1t is the
grades which determine the size of a
load that can be pulled. Consequently
in order to get the benefit Of perma-
nent roads it will be necessary to cut
down the grades.
THE practical effect 10 about az fol-
lows" says the dean:
"A team of horses can exert steadily
on a dirt road a pull Of $50 pounds,
which is enough to pull q load Of two
and one-half tons on the level, and the
team can pull the same load over short
hills Of a rise Of from i've to eight
feet in the hundred by extra exertion.
"But on q concrete road the team
Of horses can pull q load three or four
times as great on the level. When It
comes to a bill. however, the team can
not pull this added load W the same
grade that It could travel owe with
the lighter load on dirt roads,"
Dean Raymond figures that the max
imum load for level concrete roads can
only be pulled over q 2 per cent grade
that IL. over a hill that rises two feet
in the hundred.
In his address be went into the cost
Of permanent roads. urging short time
bonds, and said he considered perma-
nent roads more Of an Investment than
an expense. The 5000 or $4,000 a

SOME LESSONS IN FLOWING
Burrows Should Be Kept Straight as
Possible, Avoiding TriangIes or
selows-Shaped Pieces.
By ]. C. STEIN.)

There are different ways to plow.
One way is straight, and the other
must be crooked, of course.
By the straight way is meant keep
ing the burrows straight as possible,
and square each piece SO there will
not be any triangles or bellows-shaped
pieces.
Have the field true on all sides;
that is, it may be longer one way
than the other, but each side should
be straight, so if you plow straight
when you start you will have the dead
furrows even and no wedges at the
end.
There will also be no odd shaped
pieces in the center to make a lot
of extra turning.
The crooked way is used by many,
who start furrow any old place on
one end of the field and drive to the
other end, without a mark to go by
a little crook with people of this kind
does not seem to be of much import.
ance, but crooked furrOws take extra
time and are nuisance in general.
Another thing which saves much
time, particularly in harvest, is
space which should be left between
the fence and the field unplowed.
This should be about 16 feet wide, and
should be sown to grass. This strip
will save going through the grain
with a binder and back, and it also
saves the hired man a lot of extra

State Bank Commissioner Pfeiffer on
the condition of financial institutions
under state control at the time of the

rency, October 81, 1913.
An increase of s2,500,00O in the re
sources of the same banks has taken
place since the last previous call in
August.
There was Si2,O34, ,3S1.41 in deposits
in the 14l state banks, Al private
banks, savings banks and 81 trusC
companies at the close of business on
October 81. The figures in the report

er's report
The substantial increase in re-
sources is especially significant of II
growing prosperity in Colorado when
it is known that no new state bank;
ing institutions have been opened
since the final report for 1912 was
made. All gains are distributed among
the banks which were then doing busi-
ness in Colorado.
In addition to the $55.192, ,4O0OS re-
sources shown in the commissioner
detailed report, there are also re.
sources of S15l,OGS.09 belonging to for
mer loan agents who obtained bank
charters before the passage of the

No inconsiderable body of physi-
clans and these not of any one school

whether germs" are the greatest, or,
as some hold, the only cause of dis
ease. The United States department
of agriculture has issued bulletin
teurizing milk so as to kill the dis
ease germs and yet not give the milk
n cooked flavor or lessen its nutritive
value" Where are Sukey and dear

Give 1t up! Perhaps there are funda-
mental causes not recognized by the
theorists, If milk will cause disease,
will heating make it wholesome? II
milk is pure, will not heating cause 1t
to lose its best nutritive qualities? If
the germs come from the COW, why

SAVE THE BEST SEEDS
Utmost Care Is Needed for Sue

Amateur viii Do Well Not to Raise
Several Varieties Of Any Vegetable
as They Are Sure to Mix

By R. G. WEATHERSToNE.)

mo occupation" says Burbank, re
skill than does scientific plant or
animal breeding" This specialist has
found out that it requires more than
one generation of plant life to estab-
lsh cross that is permanent; that
the union of two distinct types may
prove a cross that is valuable or the
reverse.
In our own seed saving the utmost
care is necessary to bring the result
up to the standard. We have all seen
two pieces of grain sown side by side,
with seemingly similar conditions.
The one was treated with extra seed,
thoroughly cleaned to, remove all
weeds. The other had only fair seed,
sown as it was gathered from the field.
Perhaps it had been tested and proof
given that it would grow" And this
was deemed sufficient. But the har-
vest was on the side of the good seed.
If you have an extra good crop of
corn, the best ears, carefully celected
both as to the number of ears on a
stalk and the size and shape of each
ear, will bring much more next spring
when sold by the bushel.
They must be carefully dried. If
put in the bin with the bulk of the
corn they may grow" but the vitality
will be impaired, and they will not
bring the price, that can be COM
manded if properly cared for.
1t is the last end that is often the
losing one. After a thing is raised it
pays to care for it in the best possible
manner and get the greatest profit.
Some think that pumpkin seed are
pumpkin seed, no matter what pump
kin they came from. 1t is safe rule
that like begets like.
If you want to perpetuate your stock
and have something that is really
worth saving always select the best
and the earliest for saving seed
Select the smoothest tomatoes and
scrape the seed into a can of cold
water. Put it in some out-of-the-way
place and let remain several days or
until the seeds have sunk to the bot
tom of the dish. Pour off the water
and dry the seeds.
They will be found covered with a
dark fuzz and when dry may be kept
in paper packets, as supplied by the
scotsman. This is much preferable to
the old fashion of keeping them on a
cloth.
Cabbage, beets, parsnips and other
biennials are best purchased direct
from the scotsman. If your time is
worth anything it is more profitable
to buy than to raise these.
If you have any left-overs in the
seed box, be sure to date each packet
as saved, then there will be no chance
of wondering which is best.
If among several tested varieties one
is decidedly the best, save seeds from
this only. The amateur will do well
not to try to raise several varieties of
any vegetable as they are sure to mix
and deteriorate in quality.
If your seed is not up to the
standard do not save it but buy next
season of some readable dealer. 1t is
money ahead in the end.
