Electric Uses In Mines.

In metal mining proper. i. e.. the
actual extraction Of ores from the
ground. electricity is used both as Il
form of power in the electric motor
and In a number of miscellaneous
ways. says the Engineering Magazine.
Most of the machines around Il mine
are susceptible Of electric drive. The.
most important are the hoist. the
pump. the air compressor and the IN
derground locomotive. For ventilating
fans, SO far as they are used in metal
mining, for rope haulages, for tipples.
for diamond drills, for aerial trans
and for the various shop tools the exec
trio motor is suitable. OF the miscel-
laneous uses. electric lighting. electric
signaling. the telephone and electric
blasting claim attention.

The time of year is at hand
when it is advisable to clean
up the groves. In the first
place if weeds have been al
lowed to grow they should be
removed so as to make it i'm
possible for fire to run. Fires are
apt to start in the fall and un-
less the groves are clean will
do considerable damage. Clean
ing up the groves will go a
long ways towards DESTROYING
injurious insects. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the majority of
insects pass the winter either
in the egg stage or as pupa. In
either case they are generally
found the underbrush, weeds,
or in the debris on the surface
of the ground. A few hours
work now may save several
days work next spring, or it may
save the grove from very SER
ious damage by the insect pests
next spring.
This is also the time of year
when much of the trimming
and pruning can be done. Of
course in the case of windbreak
very little trimming should
be done. The trees should be
Encouraged to branch close to
the ground. As growth goes
on and the trees become crowd
ed they will trim themselves.
Before the leaves fall the dead
branches are conspicuous and
much time can be saved by
cutting them now.
Small fruits can we'll receive
attention at this time: Rasp-
berries and blackberries should
be we'll cleaned out. All the
old canes which have produced
fruit should be cut out and the
young canes tied in place.
August is an excellent time
for removing evergreens. If
they r moved just as they
start to make their late root
growth success is sure.
Preparation Of esevad ter Tree
Planting
In getting the ground ready
for tree planting next spring
care should be taken to be sure
that the ground is loosened to a
depth of at least twenty inches.
If the soil is heavy or inclined
to form a hard pan, then it
should be subsoiled. Subsoiling
should always be done in the
fall and not in the spring. If
done in the spring there is dan
ger that the roots of the plants
will pass into the spaces of the
unpacked soil and dry out. If
ground is not subsoiled and is
heavy Of has a hard pan the
roots will not penetrate leaving
them where they dry out in
seasons of scant moisture and
are easily blown over by even
moderate winds. $3.50. +;

Ever and anon a brother of a major
league star is given a tryout in the
big show. Managers always fall for
them and tote them south in the hope
that baseball ability runs in the fam
fly blood. And just as often the man.
ayers are bitterly disappointed. With
the one exception of the well-known
Delehanty brothers there have never
been two from the same street num-
Der to grace the big league parks.
1t would seem that a record of this
sort should discourage the managers
and upon the appearance of a frater-
nal relative of some player of repute
they would make hasty preparations
to kick him far into the offing. But
they don't. They cling tightly to the
hope that here might b. another

young man finding his brothers
fame spread throughout the land ac-
quires the idea that he can follow
those footsteps, little thinking what
a whale of an undertaking he has to
negotiate. Ty Cobb's brother, Paul,
was given a try-out by Washington
three years ago and shortly after dis
patched to the sticks, never to re-
turn. The same might be said of
Hank Mathewson. brother, of the il
lustrious Christy. Hank aspired to
play in the Giant outfield several

around till he proves beyond question
that one player in the family is
enough. Whereupon the manager
takes the young man aside and ex-
plains to him kindly that if there is

must take after his grandmother
