by the demand for added capacity, oc-
casioned by the large volume of job
work and by the healthy growth OF
the newspaper. The job work increase
has been coincident with the enlarge
ment of the advertising patronage,
which naturally followed closely on
the heels of increased circulation.
It was a matter of necessity that the
TIMES provided this additional equip
ment to take care of the greater de-
mands upon the mechanical depart
ment, and the new Linotype was pur-
chased at a cost which would seem
high if the Linotype were not, in itself,
a revenue-producer.
The machine differs from previous
models in many particulars. 1t has
three standard magazines and n
auxiliary with a separate keyboard.
Each magazine carries a full font of
two-letter matrices, so that on the ma
chine at one time there are 568 char
acters in seven different faces and
sizes. The TIMES has installed two
additional standard magazines with
three additional fonts which may be
interchanged with any magazine on
the machine inside of 80 seconds.
These standard magazines are inter
changeable with those of earlier mod
els. The TIMES has also installed an
additional auxiliary magazine which
may be incorporated with the Limo
type in a few seconds time.
The complete equipment of the ma
chine in the TIMES plant, therefore,
in addition to molds for m%anufactur-
ing advertising borders, comprises six
teen type faces of various fonts, viz:
Two each of six, eight, ten, eleven,
fourteen, and one each of eighteen and
twenty-fOur point advertising figures,
and one of thirty point and head let
ter.
With the exception of a very few
lines on this page every bit of type
was set on the Linotype. The TIMES
extends a cordial invitation to the
public to call and inspect this marvel
of mechanical achievement. and our

Grasshoppers begin to feed upon the
farmers crops Immediately upon
Matching from the egg. Unlike many
insects, there is no grublike larval
stage nor is there any resting or true
pupal stage. They are active and able
to hop about almost Immediately upon
emergence from the eggs. They are.
however, unable to fly while young,
as it takes from 20 to 30 days for them
to develop wings. The farmer should,
therefore, attack the pest during its
young stages, since not only less mate
rial and labor are required but they
can not fly to untreated fields as they
often do when mature.
There are three principal methods
of more or less practical value in COM
batting grasshoppers: Destruction Of
the eggs, trapping the insects In the
field, and use of the poisoned bats.
The eggs of grasshoppers are de-
posted in the ground, or in the crowns
Of plants such as alfalfa in the drier
regions. Where cultivating imple-
ments can be used, the ground con-
tanning eggs should be thoroughly
plowed, or disked, and narrowed in the
fall, as these operations prevent the
eggs from Matching the following
spring. Digging up the soil by hand
is practicable only in gardens, truck

germs can not live long in water which
does not contain organic substances.
In so-called surface water, /. e., drain
age water from fields, meadows or
barnyards, in water from roofs or
roads, or in water from forests and
cemeteries, they are always present.
1t is for this reason that cistern water
is not always so harmless as is often
assumed. and that water from ponds,
creeks and rivers or from the old
style open we'll is positively dangerous.
The question is often asked, "1f
such surface water is generally polluted
by germs, why is it that the farmers
and their animals who drink it freely
are not promptly killed." The an
swer is that most germs can not live
in the perfectly healthy body OF man
or animal. Only certain kinds of
germs have the power to live and
multiply within the larger animals
Most of them die when they are de-
posted in the stomach others are
harmless. and still others are necessary
for the purpose of digestion. A COM
paratively small number of species
produce sickness and death, and the
only way of avoiding the effects Of
their attacks is to use only pure water.
or to boil all drinking water that
comes from contaminated sources.

We had about Jour acres of quaek

from a light wagon or buggy. A
broadcast grain seeder, mounted on a
wagon, has been used successfully for
this purpose in the western portions
of the country.
In applying the poisoned bats in
orchards. care must be taken to avoid
distributing it close to the trees, be-
cause severe injury to frui, trees &C.
casionally results from such applica-
tons Of arsenical poisons.
The time of day chosen for dis
tributing the poisoned bats has an
important bearing upon the results
secured. In California and other semi
arid regions the bait should be dis
tributed in late afternoon or early eve
ming, just before the grasshoppers as
cend the plants on which they usually
pass the night. They are apparently
hungry and thirsty at this time and
greedily take the bait if it be avail
able. In the moister portions of the
country, such as New England and
Florida, the bait should be applied
early in the morning to secure the best
results. Farmers should not be dis
couraged if the grasshoppers do not
drop dead Immediately upon eating
the poison, as 1t usually takes from "a
hours or more for the full effect of the
bats to become apparent.

such spring or well water is not harm
ful.
Other substances that are frequently
held Ia solution by water from the
earth, q from rock. are common salt,
magnegia, and alkali. When any Of
these are present in large quantities
the water tastes bad and is unfit to
drink. Only the practical chemist, by
means of carefully conducted expert
ments can positively determine
whether or not such water can safely
be used. Other frequent admixtures
Of water are sand or clay. These may
badly discolor the water, but they are
usually harmless.
The most dangerous contamination
Of water is produced by organic pol
sons and the bacteria or germs
microscopicAlly small plants These
organisms, invisible to the naked eye,
enter the inteetines of man with the
water which he drinks, multiply there
at an enormous rate when the condi-
tons are favorable, and may produce
disorders, diseases or death. They are
the more dangerous because they can
not be seen in the water. Even if they
exist there by the million, when ex-
amined BY the eye alone the liquid
may appear entirely or nearly clear.
1t is fact, however. that these
