New Steam Auto Possesses Remarkable
Features

As a result of prolonged expert
ments a Detroit inventor has develop
ed a steam-power automobile which
seems to obviate most of the objec-
tons usually presented by vehicles of
its type. In a general way it embod-
gas and steam cars. By turning a
switch and opening the throttle, the
car is started almost instantly. There
are no gears, levers, or clutch to oper-
ate, while unlimited fiexibility is af-
forded. From snail's pace to speed
of so miles an hour, the car is said to
run practically without engine vibra-
ton. There is no noise and nothing
to watch but the road. So far as ap.
pearance is concerned, the machine
would ordinarily be mistaken for a
gasoline car. Fourteen miles can be
covered with gallon of kerosene. The
steam is condensed after being used,
ard saved. This makes it possible to
travel from 1900 to $500 miles without
replenishing the water supply. The
fuel is vaporized. mixed with air in a
carburetor, heated, and burned in a
specially designed combustion cham
Der. A small electric blower supplies
the necessary volume of air. while the
ignition is accomplished electrically.
The latter is the striking feature of
the system, for it relieves the driver of
the necessity of giving attention or
labor to the matter of firing the boiler.
In case the car stands inactive for
several days, about minute and a
half is required in starting it. 1t,
however. has merely been idle over
night. or during a corresponding per-
iod, it starts at once. The car is de-
scribed in the November Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

The Interlocutor

He's everywhere round,
Each village and town,
In city and hamlet you'll find;
The miserable bore,
With questions galore,
Of every conceivable kind.
With naught else to do,
But fire 'em at you,
And every soul in his ear shot,
He'll sit round and wait
Or walk miles to state
A question about some old rot.
Dishonest in mind
He's not trying to find
An answer to something worth while;
To Tighten the strife
Of everyday life
And cause some sad faces to smile.
No, none of these things
Inspire what he brings
For answer when he's holding forth.
He's fond of a quiz,
He's made it his biz,
To puzzle some folk with his froth
A query of sense
Made his conscience
BY some pious Christian he'll meet,
With one bout the whale
And Jonah, that stale
1t sickens the sane to repeat.
Maybe he'll ask where
Cain found his wife fair
AS Adam and Ewes flock We're boys,
Or quiz bout the bark,
We call Noah's Ark,
Perhaps ask if twas loaded with toys.
Cut out your hot air
You old questioner.
Just stop your pestiverous harm;
We're tired of your spell,
Makes one almost feel
They'd like you to go where its some
warm.

Fortify In The Fall
Against Plant Disease
By KARL LANGENBECK. Chemist,
The Agricultural Lime Bureau.


The Agricultural Lime Bureau.
Some plant diseases have their seat
in the soil. Our readers have been
made familiar by US. that scab intre-
duced by infected seed potatoes may
develop in such a soil not planted
again with potatoes for several years
and yet ruin later paintings. The
scab germ thrives best in a soil kept
over-sweetened. We have told how
the earth may be freed from the pest
and still bring up the soil to full grow
ing condition in several seasons by
progressive sweetening. little more
in each season, always using only
sterilized seed. This cannot be done
with system of keeping excessive
lime in the soil as recommended with
ground limestone. 1t must be done
with the quick action of short rat
ion of quick lime or hydrate alternat-
ing with the natural souring resulting
from manure decay. Excess of ground
limestone will keep the field scab
seed bed.
But another soil disease has been
spreading with rapid strides over the
country. This is a vegetable cancer
which attacks cabbage, caulihower,
turnips. radishes and Brussels sprouts.
If not destroyed, it develops in the
soil for years, and attacks later crops.
But as it attacks certain weeds,
like wild mustard, field never plant
ed with these vegetables, may be baG-
ly infected with it and show only when
these vegetables are grown. The
name of the disease is club root. or
fingers and toes" from the way 1t
looks on the crippled plant. But the
mother germ of the disease, as It
grows in the soil. is living creeping
slime. known to plant disease spec
lalists as a "protista." Burned line
alone in sufficient abundance withers
and destroys it. Nothing else will.
For this sterilizing process, liberal
lime treatment is essential and it is
necessary to get the soil well stirred
with ground lime before any material
taking of the lime can occur. From
two to three tons per acre must be
used, and contrary to the usual prac-
tee in soil sweetening. it should be
worked in with light blowing or the
cultivator and harrow. This must lie
me some months before replanting,
and the Autumn is the essential time,
so as to be safe for the next season.
The cold of winter assures the work of
destruction done by the quick lime.
These Shiny mother germs of the
disease thrive in warm, wet, acid con-
ditions and even in the intestines of
cattle. BY their manure they are
brought to the soil. Such manure
spreads the disease. Cattle must not
be fed with the crippled plants from
an attacked crop. Truckers who buy
stable manure must be careful where
they get it. Every vegetable garden
Is endangered. The loss may be slight
to individual men. but neglect in roos-
ing out the first appearance of this
disease endangers the community. 1t
is as criminal to your neighbors as
concealing contagious disease in
your family from the health officer.
