How French Combat House Shortage

Parisians were startled recently
when they saw small, two-story
house on wheels being hauled through
the city streets by motor car, the
Scientific American states. And they
were still more startled when the in
ventor invited them 10 inspect the in
terror, thus revealing surprisingly
large range of accommodations for so
small domicile.
The house mounted on wheels while
being transported, consists of four
rooms, including kitchen, heating
equipment, miniature staircase and
modern conveniences. The home is
eight feet wide and fifteen feet high,
but by means of telescoping walls, 1t
can be brought down to 91s feet In
height to facilitate transportation. The
French government has ordered con-
siderable number of these portable
houses for the inhabitants of the dew
astated regions. inasmuch as they are
being turned out for 1886 complete.

MESSAGE SENT AS WRITTEN
How 1t Has Been Made Possible to
Transfer Original Handwriting
Over Cable System.

A wire and cable system, has been
invented. in Christiania, Norway, by
which it is possible TO transfer pic
.ture or a message in original hand
writing over a practically unlimited
distance The device was publicly
tested recently between two 6OO-mile
points, and was reported successful.
The manuscript to be transferred is
placed on a metallic Cumbersome
what resembling an original wax
photograph cylinder-covered with a
Photographic film and exposed to a
strong arc light. The manuscript is
copied on the cylinder film, developed
and chronographically etched into the
metal. The cylinder is then placed on
the sending apparatus, to which, is
transmitted an electric current going
to the receiving apparatus. When the
cylinder rOtates q needle moves on 1t,
touching every point on the cylinder
Whenever 1t touches the copied letters
of the manuscript it causes short
circuit, which is transmitted to the
receiving apparatus with its photo,
graphic paper Oh which the copy is
reproduced.

How Ocean Is Robbina River.

A curious result of a study Of the
Blue Ridge mountain region in North
Carolina and Virginia is the showing
that the Atlantic is slowly gaining
some of the waters that have hereto
fore flowed toward the Mississippi.
This arises from the fact that the
Blue Ridge. instead of being acrest
with strong slopes on each side, is an
escarpment separating a mountainous
upland on the southeast; and the high
level headwaters of the streams that
flow toward the Mississippi are con-
tinually losing length by the retreat OF
the escarpment, through the retro
grcssive erosion Of the lOw-level head
waters of the Misunderstanding streams.
From a practical point of view, OF
course, the change is very slow.

OUR HoLSTEIN SPECIAL
Holstein Breeders Plan Picnic

The Holstein breeders of Shia-
wassee County have proven, TO be
alive to their opportunities and boost
ers for their breed and their organi-
cation. Following our policy of put
ting out several Special breed IS
sues this July is devoted quite largely
to Holstein cattle.
At a recent meeting of the Hol-
stein Breeders Association it was de-
cided to hold a picnic on or about
Aug. 25th. The place of the picnic
is undecided as yet, but will be an
nounced in our next issue.
The matter of tuberculin. testing
for the entire County was discussed.
A committee which had been ap-
pointed at an earlier date are work
ing on this matter and will probably
make a report at the picnic. An at
tempt will be made, to give the mat
ter publicity and to rid Shiawasses
County of tuberculosis in cattle. .
This is movement in the right
direction and it is not only an in
surance against spreading tubercu
losis among children in the County
but it will give every man who sells
milk the satisfaction of knowing tina
he is not helping to spread the plague
Every owner of cattle in the Count.
should be for this proposition a
every member of the Holstein Breed
ers' Association of Shiawasse'
County is.

oculating and having firm seed bed.
The first thing we stress is lime
stone. When the field has been pro-
perly lined the other conditions fol-
low in order. 1t is because so many
failures with alfalfa have been traced
directly to a lack or limestone thae
we put special emphasis on tne use
of limestone. Alfalfa is injured more
easily by sour soils than any OF tne
legumes. On a few of the acid SOILS
alfalfa will grow for possibly year
when it will be found to turn yellow
and die. Examination shows a lack
of nitrogen nodules on the roots ana
without these nodules the plant can
not grow and thrive. Acid and sour
soils directly prevent the growth OF
these nodules and as a result the
plant dies, or as is more usually the
case, fails to grow at all.
The use of limestone is the cheap
est and most effective means OF cor
recting this condition, a single april
cation of limestone often spelling the
difference between failure and sue
cess. All our soils contain some lime.
They must have lime to support plant
growth. But many soils can not pro-
vide a SUFFICIENT amount OF thls nec-
essary plant food for such a lime
hungry plant as alfalfa. Lime on
some soils will act as an actual 1er-
tilizer for alfalfa, though as a rule,
it is valuable only as neutralizer OF
those acids found in the soil when
make the soil sour and prevent the
growth of alfalfa. 1t is preferred to
apply limestone at least a month be-
| fore seeding alfalfa.
The kind of limestone to use is i'm
portant. Never use coarse limestone
as it dissolves very slowly and Will
not produce the desired results. Inc
finest limestone possible to obtain is
best. DR.. McCool, of the Michigan
Agricultural College, states that the
limestone should be as fine as dust to
be really effective-the finer the bet
ter, and use it in liberal quantities
1t will pay big dividends.

WASHTENAW MEMBERS WHEAT

reau News features an articles on Mr..
and Mrs. G. d. Finkbeiner, who a
few years ago on their Saline Town,

Wolverine oats and Red Rock wheat.
Their idea was to make use of the
agricultural college principles for
growing good grain and get good
price for it. Last year in compete
ton with the world at the Interna.

won second prize on his Red Rock
wheat. Now colleges, experiment

the country make path to his door

PROFIT - WITH ALFALFA AND
LIMESTONE

The acreage of alfalfa in Michi-
gan will be increased by nearly 100
per cent this season, due largely to
the efforts of the County Agents who
have been quick to see the wqpderful
advantages of such crop. Alfalf!a,
is more than a hay crop-it is a soil
builder and fortune maker. 1t ma,
lures early, resists drought, frost and
heat, has a root system that is a real
soil builder, gives from three. to four
crops of hay per season and Is nearly
