NEW LOCOMOTIVE is LARGE
Greatest Steam Engine in World Just
Put Into Service-Has "a
Driving Wheels.

The greatest locomotive in the world
has been put into service by the Bald
win Locomotive works. 1t is so gigan-
tic, says Popular Science Monthly, that
it's boiler had to be made flexible at
three different joints so that the To-
connective could turn around a curve.
1t is over 100 feet long and weighs
400 tons. Twenty-four driving wheels,
each standing as high as an average
size man, afford it traction. The driv-
ing wheels are distributed along the
length of the locomotive in sets of
four pairs, the wheels of each being
coupled together and driven by two
giant steam cylinders. Under full
steam, the locomotive can exert an
S3-ton pull on the cars behind it
which means that it can easily haul
freight train two miles long and $4,000
tons in weight, over an ordinarily good
roadbed at an average rate of IA miles
an hour, and possibly more.

WOMEN MAKE START IN RAILROAD WORK

nine workers wherever possible in all

BEST RESULTS IN SPRAYING
Pressure of $50 to 200 Pounds
Are Most Favored.

Best results in spraying are obtained
with MOBILES of a type that deliver a
fine mist and the spray put on at a
pressure of $50 to 200 pounds. This
calls for a first-clasS pump and gaso-
line engine.
Farmers who use q comparatively
small amount of spraying material
often find it more satisfactory to buy
factory-made sprays than to bother
with home mixing. 1t takes about as
long to mix few quarts or gallons as
to make up a barrel or two, and time,
of all things, isexpensiYe in this period
of high-priced labor. This factor of
time and labor often amounts to more
than the higher cost of purchased
sprays. Furthermore, the factory goods
are of standard strength and purity,
which is not always true of sprays
made at home. Small gardeners, es-
pecially, find it more satisfactory and
economical to buy their spraying mate
rial because they use so little at any
one time.

APPLE TREE PRUNING HINTS
When Growing Too Upright or
Spreading, Cut Back Leaders
Keep Top Sufficiently Open. q.

If an apple tree Is growing too up
right or too spreading, cut back the
leaders to side shoot that is growing
In the desired direction. The upright
tendency is more often found, in which
event the heads should be shortened
back to a side stock that is growing
down and out. Do not cut the young
shoots In the interior, as they tend to
send out laterals that are hard to
prune into shape. Keep the top suf-
ficiently open so that the sunlight and
air can freely circulate. This is neces-
sary for the ripening of the fruit buds.
Small limbs should be removed, but
the work should not be done so that
spaces are left in the top. Cut out all
diseased or dead wood. Save all the,
good fruit spurs and try to produce
new ones. Cut out all crossing and in
terfering branches. In a well-grown
tree all water sprouts should be re-
moved. If any are needed to replace
lost fruit spurs, they should be cut
back to two buds. This operation may
need to be repeated. All branches
growing back through the interior of
the tree should be removed.
