Hardening Steel Surfaces.

A simple process Of hardening cast
or forged steel which does not destroy
the effect Of previous heating treat
ments or cause the metal to undergo
Il change of form has recently been
discovered. In hardening a gear, for
instance, the whole of a tooth is not
heated, but, on the contrary, only its
surface to q depth of approximately
one-sixteenth of an inch. A high tenn
p%erature flame Is played owe the sur
face with q brushlike motion. Upon
its removal the cooling takes place i'm
mediately, the heat radiating into the
cold mass Of steel and into the atmos-
phere. In this way the highly hard
ened part Of the steel consists Of an
outer surface film. By increasing the
time Of application of the flame the
hardened part may be deepened to
about three-siXteenths of an inch, the
blaze in such a CASE being given a TO-
tating motion to avoid burning the
metal.-Popular Mechanics.

New Rubber CoauuIant.

An important discovery, it is claimed,
has just been made in the use of CO.
conut water rs a rubber coagulant.
This new method if as successful as
experiments would indicate should
prove a great boon to the Ceylon rub
Der industry. Millions Of gallons Of
coconut water which now run to
waste on estates in copra drying and
desiccation mills can be utilized as a
profitable b%yproduct, besides produc-
ing Il superior coagulant in making
rubber. Details of the process are not
now available, but it is understood
that the coconut water is allowed to
ferment for four or five days, after
which it can be used Immediately for
coagulating lateX. One to two ounces
of the fermented liquid will coagulate
one pint Of pure latex. 1t is said to
produce a better rubber than that pro-
cured from the present method of using
crude acetic acid, especially so far as
color goes and clearer than that obtain

Annual Weeds.

AS to the duration our weeds may
be grouped into three classes-annuals.
biennials and perennials. Annual
weeds are those which produce seed
and die the same season that they be-
gin their growth. They come up anew
each year from seed. Some of the
most common annual agricultural
weeds occurring in the west are pig
weeds. wild oats, ragweeds, goosefoot
or lambs quarters. shepherds purse,
foxtail grass, false flax. barnyard
grass. squirrel tail grass, sweet clover,
knot grass. witch grass, Russian this
tie. crab grass and SOW thistle.
The following suggestions are given
for combating weeds Of the annual
class: In the case of Il titled crop and
fallow land cultivate thoroughly just
after the seed has terminated. On
land badly infested with such weeds
place a crop that can be given clean
tillage. such as potatoes or beets. Un.
der no circumstances allow the plants
to go to seed. Clean cultivation is one

A potted plant must have air about

Rhubarb roots stored in the cellar

crops of green's between now and

Jardinieres in which water is allow

Look for scale and mealy bug on
ferns and other house plants. To rid
the plants of the insects wash with
soap and water, using a soft sponge or
brush; then cleanse with clear water.
Rain water is better than well water,
since it does not contain alkali, which
often leaves white streaks on the

Protection of Metals.

A new process for protecting metals
from %corrosion uses pure tin or pure
lead, either in its natural state or al
lOyed with some other metal such as
zinc, as a coating for the metal to be

duced to a powder. This powder is
than mixed with a fluid to the consist

with a stiff bristle brush. The next
step is to melt the coating. and this
may be done by any clean source of

the flow Of oil from the tank. When
operating the filter the impure oil is
poured into A until it fills the tank
about three-eighths full; then warm
water Of from 90 to 100 degrees tenn

the two thoroughly mixed by means Of

.ixup In
Election is
Big Puzzle
Clerk Declines to Put Names on Bal
lot OF Candidates Elected at Pri-
mary--GeneraI Conflict of Sta
tutes and Opinions.

Clerk Kaae declines to put d. T.
Fleming's name on the ballot for the
county election next month. The
County Attorney backs UP the Clerk
in this stand, on the ground that
Fleming was elected supervisor at
the primaries. On the other hand the
proclamation issued by the superyis-
ors for the election calls for full set
of officers to be elected on May 4, and
takes no account whatever of the pri-
mary elections. Also Attorney Gen
eral Stainback, in an opinion to the
County Executive Committee, express
es the view that a member of the
board of supervisors cannot be elected
under the primary law even though
he receive a majority of all the votes
cast He holds, however, that the
primary election is valid for all other
officials who may have thus received
majority votes.
In the meantime Dave Fleming is
hoping for a decision from the SUI
preme court, in a similar case from
Hawaii county, which may clear up
the matter. In case it does not, he
will possibly bring mandamus action
against the Clerk to get his name on
the ballot.
County Auditor Wilcox, and Sheriff
Crowell were refused by the Clerk
when they demanded to have ,heir
names placed on the ballot, on the
ground that they are already e!oc't d /;
and they were presented with Certi:
ficate of election instead. Kaae also

these officials, having no competitors,
and being already in Office will not BE-
affected in their positions, since under
the law they must serve until their
successor is elected regularly.
Kaae states that the ballot for the
election will not provide for positions
filled at the primary election, and that
in the matter of the supervisors, the
instructions will read: "Vote For
Three Only" Fleming being already
elected.
