sure begins to drop from Is pounds 20
the square inch to IA pounds, to ID
pounds, and so on, until it has reached
rarity that corresponds to great
height.
AS soon as it reaches this rarity the
intake valve is opened slightly, and
only enough air is admitted to take the
place of the Inside air that the engine
Is consuming. This, of course. keeps
the pressure inside at the desired rar-
ity, and to all intents and purposes
the engine is now flying Mt an altitude
of 10000 feet
General Mobilization.
AS soon as the engine starts, other
parts of the chambers machinery start
too. For instance, the exhaust begins
to work. II would be utterly imprac-
ticable to discharge the gases from
the engine into the outside air through
the ordinary exhaust pipe. With the
air inside at seven pounds pressure
and the outside air at II pounds the
force of the outside pressure would
jam a great quantity of atmosphere
back up the exhaust pipe, fill the
chamber with fumes and smoke and
reduce the inside pressure to normal.
To overcome this the experts de-
signed a blower attachment which Will
suck the gases and fumes from the en-
CINE with a force sufficient to prevent
the outside air from rushing in. Also,
the fumes and gases will pass through
pipes which spray these gases with
cold water, thus keeping down the
temperature in the chamber.
The actual horsepower performance
of the engine can be determined with
out trouble. Every ounce of pull 1t
generates is transmitted to big cleo
trio generator on the outside, and the
amount of electricity generated by the
engines power makes 1t perfectly SIM
pie for the scientists to determine
when the engine is faltering.
Through the glass doors Of this con-
crete chamber, the scientists will OBJ
serve the engine itself or the instru-
ments attached. which will register
every performance of that piece Of
mechanism. If it won't work In an
air-pressure of seven pounds to the
inch, that engine Will never do for high
observation work.
Tests Pre-compresslon Also.
Broadly speaking, this is the chief
use to which that concrete chamber
will be put. 1t has another use, how
ever. That is the testing Of pre-com-
preston devices. 1t has been found
advisable to equip all airplanes that
are expected to attain great height
with a pre-compression attachment.
This is designed to gather and con-
centrate a quantity of air and at the
moment of each discharge of the cyl
inders, inject it into the cylinders to
supplement the deficient supply that
the engine can take through Its intake
valves.
There are many of these pre-com-
preston devices being offered to the
government, which at this time cannot
be proven except under actual battle
conditions, but with the use of the
rarified air chamber at the bureau, the
government experts can decide within
a few moments the uselessness or
value of the device.

Observation Windows.

The chamber is also provided with
glass windows, through which the ex-
perts may watch instruments which
register the air pressure and the tenn
perature of the chamber. BY data Sc
cured in actual flights the bureau ex-
merits know the exact density of the
air at each of the various hundred
foot levels. An ordinary aneroid ba-
rometer would give this data only APP
proximatCly. When the engine starts
and begins consuming air on the in
side of the chamber the inside pres.

FIRM GROUND FOR PLANTING
Plants in Loose Soil Cannot Draw Suf-
ficient Moisture to Make Them
Thrive Well.

Ground for planting, whether seeds,
plants or trees, should be fairly firm.
Too often the garden is plowed up late
and the seeds planted in the loose soil
without giving it any frming, and then
the seeds are blamed because they do
not terminate. Plants set in such
ground are often supposed to be poor
ly rooted or have low vitality, when in
reality neither seeds nor plants can
draw sufficient moisture from the
loose ground to make them grow. A
garden roller is as necessary as a pillow
if the pillow Is used late.
If the ground is plowed early enough
so 1t can settle well before being
planted and then lightly cultivated on
the surface to keep the weeds down
and form a dust mulch until it is plant
ed, both seeds and plants will start
much better and grow faster. Deep
fall blowing, with the surface left
rough, and then light culture before
planting in the spring, is the ideal
method, provided you do not want to
give it two or three plowings during
the winter, with light applications Of
manure.

pointed out by the experts. if the con-
%secutive numbers of the different
%churnlngs of a creamery were stamped

Butter in Cold Storage.
Approximately one-tenth of the but
ter received in the larger markets is
placed in cold storage, the bulletin
states, and is held for an average pc
riod of six months. The cost of stor-
Ing butter approximates one-fourth of
a cent per pound per month. In the
market distribution of creamery but
ter there is at present a tendency to
ward the more general use of consum-
ers' packages, usually Of the one-pound
size.
1t is pointed out by the specialists
that the establishment of brands is
essential for effective advertising.
Salesmanship is also a vital factor In
successful market distribution. 1t is
highly important in marketing a
branded product that a sanitary and
attractive package be used and that d
certain standard of quality in the
product be maintained.

NEW VARIETIES OF POTATOES
Originate From Seed Found in 6oIIs
Produced on Vines-PIant in Hot
house or Cold Frame.

New varieties of potatoes are orig
mated from seed which is found in
the bolls produced On the vines. The
seed which is light and fine should be
saved in the same manner as the seed
from tomatoes.
Cut open the bolls and squeeze out
the seeds into a small vessel with as
little pulp as possible. Add warm
water and allow the mess to ferment
for two days so that the little seeds
will wash clear from the pulp. After
being washed the seeds should be
dried, In which condition they will
keep through the winter. Anyone who
tries to carry the seed boil through
che winter will likely lose all the
seeds.
Along in March prepare some fine,
.fch light soil that will hold moisture.
Rotten cow manure several years old
Is better than common soil. The seed
may be TAINTED in a dollhouse, cold
frame or in a box In the kitchen win

ly with soil and must be kept moist
by frequent watering or by covering
with a piece of cloth until the seeds

FOR THE DISK HARROW
One Of Most Valuable Farm ImpIe-
ments-indispensabIe in Preparing
Sod for Potatoes.

The disk harrow is one Of the most
valued implements on the farm. 1t is
almost Indispensable in the prepare
ton Of sod ground for potatoes or
corn.
One of the most important uses Of
this implement is to break up the sur
face soil a few days in advance of the
pillow, so that capillary attraction Of
moisture will be readily established
with the subsoil.
1t effectually seals the surface of the
unplowed land SO hat it will keep
moist for a longer period of time. and
consequently pillow easier in case a
drought comes on so as to seriously
interfere with the work of blowing.

ACID PHOSPHATE is USEFUL
Re-enforce Barnyard Manure to
Maintain Fertility.

Since phosphorus is carried off the
farm in relatively large amounts in
grain crops, in the bones of animals.
and in milk, sol specialists Of the Ohio
station recommend the use of acid
phosphate rock to reinforce barnyard
manure, If the fertility of the soil is
to be maintained. Acid phosphate Is
more generally recommended, because
under average conditions it is more eff
fective and more economical than The
raw rock.

Increase Of undererades.

At certain seasons the market spe-
cialists found on the markets an in
creasing quantity of inferior quality of
butter which is known as under
grades" This inferior quality, if de-
veloped, is often due to the use of
cream of poor quality and, to some
extent, to faulty methods of tmanufac-
ture. The more common faults OBJ
served in the quality of this butter
were soft, leaky, open body too much
or not enough salt; too high or too
light color; metallic f1avors high acid,
unclean, and old cream fiavors streaks
and mottles; mold on butter; also
molay and dirty packages. Butter pos
sessing such faults, although not al
ways classed as ''undergrades," is
often Disseminated against by the
critical buyer. During those seasons
when the market receipts are heavy
and the market is weak such butter

In the shipment of butter to mar

cries situated close together may
often effect economies in t~ransporta-
ton by cooperating in obtaining spe-
cial scheduled pickup" refrigerator
car service and by assembling local
shipments into carload lots which may
be shipped at lower freight costs.
Many country creameries, it was
found, consigned their butter to whole
sale butter receivers who often func-
ton as jobbers, while the tendency
among the larger creameries and, to
some extent, among smaller ones, is
to distribute directly to the retailer.
