the preparations for it's installation in
clude the construction of a tunnel ex-
tending out under a highway, as there
was not room for it between the walls
OF the shop.
The lathe bed itself is IT'S feet long
and Is made in FIVE sections. but the
total over all length, including projec-
tons at the end of the bed. brings 1t
up to 1856 feet. The main portion OF
the bed on which the carriages travel
has three broad shears. the total width
being 1903 inches. or nine feet. and the
length 1O3 feet. The rest Of the bed
extends under what is called the Dor
ing bench, which has two shears. The
total width of this is sixty-two inches
and the length seventy-ive feet. The
weight Of the machine complete with
electrical equipment is 100000 pounds
or 400 tons.

themselves or their clothes home, have
through their work put all the French
models into the public's possession.
We have looked them over, digested
their main points, argued about their
defects and their new requirements
and have settled down to that "calm
adjustment" which President Wilson
advised business to take up when con-
gress adjourned.
Fashions are also hectic, as business
and the general affairs Of the planet
have been for several months, and the
adjustment Of them Is a serious matter
to far more thousands than the layman
realizes. The world Of trade that Is
made rich or poor by clever adaptation
or inspired prophecy Of the French
trend Of style has burrows in the brow
and experienced some sleepless nights.
The clothes worn by any parade Of
women reflect the hopes and fears of
millions. The accepted cut Of a skirt

by the woman Of some household; the
shape Of a sleeve may have meant the
prospect Of a care free summer va
cation to a family Of five; the money

bly, suggests a boys chance at college
next year.
Woven in the warp and wool Of all
these clothes that seem SO meaningless
to the layman, the scoffer and the
passerby is the success or failure Of

expert sees first in any showing Of wo-

THE WASTE OF COAL.
Economists Say Fuel Should Be Cooked
Instead Of Burned Whole.

If British engineers know what they
are talking about, as presumably they
do or they wouldn't be given SO much
space in the London Times. there are
few more wasteful things than the or
binary whole coal fire. Made In the
range, the open crate or the furnace,
It results in a literal throwing away Of
Henry Cunningham. muftiplies the
household coal bill by three, and the
daily grist Of 100 pounds now poured
into the kitchen range might. under
proper conditions, serve ten ranges in
stead Of one.
Naturally n is curious as to these
&c called proper conditions. Well, the
gist Of the engineers complaint Is this:
Coal is full Of valuable things besides
heat. Among these are tar, ammonia
and benzol. There are a dozen CON-
mercial uses for tar, to say nothing Of
the SO called coal tar products. The
ammonia is invaluable for fertilizer.
and benzol is a first class substitute
for gasoline. Each ton Of coal will
yield about three gallons of benzol. one
gallon Of naphtha. two gallons Of heavy
oil suitable for fuel. eighty pounds Of
pitch and twenty pounds Of sulphate
Of ammonia. After all this has been
extracted there will be left about
three-ffths Of a ton Of semicOke, al
most as good for heating purposes as
the original coal.
The present popular method Of coal
disposal. in which this whole group of
substances is burned up-and most Of
the virtually wasted-in household and
factory. has at last excited the ire Of
engineers and economists. Apparently
what they want us to do is to burn
coke instead Of coal for household heat
ing and steam making.

Oil For tho Springs.

There is a little tool made and sold
at a small figure which is designed to
spread the leaves so that oil may be
inserted between them. 1t will also
permit Of enough spread to allow q
strip Of emery cloth to be inserted SO
that the rust that has accumulated
may be taken of. This should be done
before the oil is applied. In cas- the
rust is heavy it is a good plan to inject
a liberal supply Of kerosene to cut the
rust somewhat. When oiling endeavor
to force in a little graphite as well,
as this will find its way into the small
pores and uneven spots and will at the
same time not only serve to keep out
dirt and water. but is q splendid lubri.

average yield 1t may be due to weakness OF
inbreeding
Some of the ears weighed over pound each,
making over two pounds to the stalk If this could
be averaged for an entire corn field it would yield
over ten tons to the acre.
Such may seem an exaggeration impos-
sibility, but it is only in comparison with what
we have been accustomed to. Even if by judi
cious selection of two-eared seed each year still
the type could not be fixed to produce even
yields of the maximum amount, yet if it gave an
increase of 20 per cent, as it did in my expert
ment, the return would be big for what is
involved. 1t does not imply added cost in the
production but only greater and interest
in ones work
Another thing to be kept in mind in breeding
up type of for higher productiveness is that
the number of kernels to the ear and their size
has an important bearing the yield of grain.
A corn expert once figured out that if the pro-
ductiveness of corn could be increased by only
one kernel to each ear, on the entire crop it
would mean a gain of so tons of grain. Even
though the figures be not absolute, there is no
gainsaying that the increase of yield would be a
very big amount in the aggregate. The point is
made very clear in the accompanying photo
graphs which show eight, ten and twelverowed
of corn. Each ear was exactly the same in
weight being ii ounces each. The eightrowed
ear gave seven ounces of glnin, and had cob
weighing four ounces; the tenrowed ear weighed
up eight ounces of grain and had three-ounce
cob; the tweverowed gave eight and one
half ounces of grain. difference of an ounce
and half TO the ear of actual grain is appreci-
able gain worth striving for. But that does not
mean that such is the limit of the gain to be OBJ
tanned 1t would be quite within reason to OBJ
tain tenfold that increase
The chief requisites to substantial progress in
the growing of more productive must be
the skill and judgment of the worker. The first
essential is doubt seed selection, but this does
not merely mean the picking out of the best look
ing ears at harvest time in the husking. 1t is
necessary that the grower shall watch the corn
from the first start of the seed and through the
growing
Vigor, productiveness and early ripening should
be noted not merely in the mind, but in a book,
and the stalks should be marked so that they can
be identified at any time My method is to snip
out little bits of tin; punch hole through them
at side and put bit of thin wire through
and twist this loosely about the stalk when mark.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN

and overworks the kidneys In their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters OF meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-

poison, else you feel dull misery In
the kidney region, sharp pains In the

stomach sours, tongue Is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get

To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces OF Jad Salts

Another interesting point, showing
clearly the tendency to reversion to
remote ancestors, is found in the fact
that while the two-ear seed were or
- rows about IS per cent of the yield
was of one eight-rowed cobs. Although
this variety of flint corn will show
frequent ears of II and IA rows, 1t
may be considered properly an eight
rowed type of corn. Thus we see that
after throwing the sport of a two
cared stalk, there is mot sufficient
stamina in all the seeds to reproduce
like the parent. The corn reverted not
only to the one-eared but to the eight
rowed type.
This is one Of the mysteries that
will have to be solved, no doubt, be-
fore a highly productive two-eared
type of corn can be raised with the
qualities of the parent so fixed that it
can be relied upon to maintain a big
