the three phase or induction motor is the simplest machine built. Take for example 9 horsepower motor, so- called because the average load which it will safely carry IS 25 horsepower But this motor will carry for certain periods of time much more horsepower than it's rating, and the question is how much more and for how long. In practice a standard g horsepower motor will develop and safely carry over 30 horsepower for periods up to two hours and nearly 70 horsepower momentarily. and still be in no danger. Tn fact the motor will carry up to 50 or more horsepower, but may burn out if subjected to so much overload.
 The reason motor burns out from overload is that the more the load 1t carries the more electric current has to go though the coils. and the coils have a limit as to the amount they will safely carry. On an overload. however i the motor will continue to try to do tht
 work, and will consume current in pro- 1 portion to the load, whereas an engine
 will stop

California's first white settlers. Missions then served the dual purpose of personal protection and shrine for religions worship and enlightment. San Iuan Capistrano mission was built of adobe brick and covered with a tile roof by mission Indians, directed by the Fathers in 1776. We found this antiquity in most excellent state of preservation.
 Arriving in old town of San Diego. where General Fremont raised the first American flag in California, we To- cated the "Estudilo House. a one story adobe structure covering a half block, built in 1925, featured by Helen Hunt Jackson as the Marriage place of Pomona" Here we met our guide, pilot and dog owner with whom we had arranged by phone to meet us at Ra- mona mansion He was on the time dot. We immediately headed for Sweet water dam, our guide having se- cured special shooting permits for us in advance. Before arriving at Sweet Water, we located a large water hole, where small ducks or ''puddIers' were cavorting and blue and green winged teal, were especially numerous. From culinary angle, no better duck flies than teal, when fattened under prop CT feeding conditions. If fed upon mullusks and periwinkles, their flesh becomes impregnated with a fish flavor When fattened on vegetable diet and properly cooked, they are the real piece de resistance. Teal are built for speed, challenging wing shot skill to cut out a double when they are carrying the mail down wind Gotch was an excellent judge of distance and flight velocity of those winged mes sengers, mentally computing necessary lead or daylight to be injected ahead

 o. Are there many reindeer in Alas ka? Saw by a paper that they were that? Tell us something about them. F. T. E., Temple, Texas
 A. Vast herds of reindeer and cari- bou are found in Alaska. They are both members of the deer family. and their flesh has the venison flavor. The reindeer from the days of cave men has been mans best friend. Domestic ated by man, it is both a power and meat producer; it is not dependent upon man for either food or shelter. The reindeer industry is under the de- partment of the interior who have dis tributed reindeer amongst the natives missions and Laplanders were en- ployed to instruct. There are now over 100000 domestic reindeer and caribou in Alaska, 70 per cent owned by the Eskimos. Government statistics esti- mate there will be herds of over I0,- 100000 in less than 20 years. herds double every three years. Their olfac- tory powers enable them to locate food under deep snows. Their strong legs and sharp hoofs quickly uncover the mosses. Both sexes produce and shed their antlers annually. The male be- fore the female, after the fawning sea sor. Their coat is very heavy.

In the motor given as an example above, we specify a standard motor, the guaran- tee on which is that 1t will operate continuously under full load and the temperature in the coils will not raise over 40 degrees centigrade. There is, however what is known as a 50 degree rise motor, which under like conditions may have a rise in temperature in the coils of 50 degrees +centigrade. These 50 degree motors sell for about 10 per cent less than the standard motor, but cannot safely be used for duty with p per cent of a standard motor"

Nearly every electric motor has on it nameplate, giving the speed. type of curernt built for. and its rated horsepower, but this rated horsepower does not by any means tell the whole story as to what work may be expected from the motor" according to C.

 So many of our customers have come to us for information as to just what comparison may be made between horsepower as developed by an oil or gas engine, and by an electric motor, that an explanation of this seems to be in order

 A. Forest fires in any locality are very destructive of bird and wild life. Fires in those vast tracts of timber are a national game menace.

1913 of 25,OOO,OOO bushels of wheat,
100000 bushels of oats, and 6,OOO,-

There are two kinds of wheat smut,
the loose smut and the covered smut /;
the latter is also called bunt or stink

Loose smut is found in practically
every wheat field. 1t is most serious
in the southern winter wheat section
southern Missouri, southern Illinois,
southern Indiana, southern Ohio
southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir-
Cinia, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Throughout this general area the an

Bunt, or sinking smut, also is found

Of the country Commonly, the dam
age done by this smut is from l to 3
per cent of the crop. Frequently,
however, fields show losses which
range from from 20 to 40 per cent.
Several fields have been destroyed in
which the damage amounted to 80 or

REJUVENATE OLD VINEYARDS
Demand for Grapes as Fruit and foI
Grape Juice Is Greater Than
Ever Before.

That it will be profitable to rejuve-
nate many Of the old vineyards is point.
ed out by r. b. Cruickshank, secretary
Of the Ohio horticultural society. The
demand for grapes as a fruit and for
grape juice is greater than ever before,
despite the fact that vineyardlsts had
feared that prohibition would ruin
their business.
Nurseries at present are reported
to be unable to supply the demand for
grapevines and the future of the
business seems to be guaranteed
