Use of Peat as Fuel,

The burning of peat has an indi-
vidual as we'll as a national signif1-
canoe. For instance, consider this
from Peter Christianson, professor of
metallurgy in the school of mines at
the University of Minnesota:
"There is scarcely a farmer in the
state of Minnesota, except in the
southeastern, western and extreme
northwestern portions, who could not
make himself independent Of a coal
supply for heating purposes by prepar-
ing and using peat from his own farm.
Incidentally, peat is found in sixty
four Of the eighty-six counties of the
state. Other states have lots of it, too.
'All the man needs to do is to take
spade, cut the peat from his bog in
blocks and dry it. He can do it cheap
er than he can pay SIS or 500 for
coal, too. My father burned peat for
years here in Minnesota and it made
an excellent fire. Farmers are using
it for fuel in some sections Of the
state, particularly those from the old
countries, who are acquainted with it's
use.

Valuable Invention.

A naval invention first used during
the war may revolutionize the task of
the pilot. A cable seventeen miles in
length is now laid from Portsmouth
harbor to the Warner light on the
channel side of the Isle of Wight. The
cable is charged with high frequency
current, by means Of which a ship
fitted with receiving apparatus may
locate its position and find its way.
Such an invention, if adopted in all
the more difficult ports of navigation
routes, would not only add greatly to
the safety of ships, but save much
valuable time that is now lost.-Lon-
don Daily Chronicle.

dead" SIX YEARS
American Tells of Suffering in
Mexican Salt Mines.
Only Recently Gained Freedom, and
Did Not Know Anything of the
World War.

The World war had been fought and
won, and he did not know a word
about it.
He was Mate Mcguire, an engineer
and graduate of the Boston Institute
Of Technology, who for six years was
a soldier Of fortune in the rebel army
of Mexico, and for five years and
eight months a prisoner at hard labor
in the Mexican salt mines, during
which he never saw the light Of day
or a newspaper of any kind.
Mcguire reached Tacoma a short
time ago after thrilling escape from
the mines, in which he had been con-
demned to life Imprisonment after his
capture by the Mexican federals. He
has just taken a position in the county
engineers office in Tacoma, says Ia
coma letter
Young and adventurous, Mcguire
joined troop of men from the United
States who were fighting under Ma
dera. He became second in command
of all the troops and was part Of
the time directly under Villa. He
was truly soldier Of fortune.
But one day Mcguire and two other
officers went into Chihuahua because
they heard trouble was brewing there.
They entered cantina through
rear entrance. Here they found sew
eral of Huertas officers carOuSing.
They had nothing to do but surrender
to them. They were gagged, tied and
taken 65 miles on horseback to the
headquarters of United States half
breed serving under Huerta. Here at
a general court-martial they were SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the salt
mines of Chihuahua.
ut was worse than death sentence
to u.s." said Mcguire eve had heard
about the conditions of the salt mines,
where unbelievable conditions were eX-
listing, and the workers were being just
tortured to death.
eve were dropped some 1900 feet
in the ground in a bucket. We felt
as though we were being buried alive,
and when at last I stepped into the
mine, with it's few dim candles, the
famous lines, All hope abandon, We
who enter here entered my mind. 1t
was just pure and simple hell. Rats,
gila monsters, scorpions, lizards lice
and other underground creatures were
in the surroundings. Food consisted
of beans and flabby pancakes.
''That we might get little tobacco
we sacrificed part of our meals. No
medical aid of any sort was available,
and the death rate ran about one priS-
oner a day. Their bodies lay uncov-
cred for weeks sometimes. In all the
five and twO.thirds years was in there
[ never saw a newspaper or magazine.
In fact, I didn't know there was such
a thing as the World war.
"But fate at last favored us. The
guards, we noted, were on a carousal
that evening. When they came down
the shaft we ended their careers with
blows from huge stones. We donned
their uniforms and made off. l went
toward the United States border,
which was 139 miles north, and the
other two officers went down south.

what the line of production, advertise.
How few farmers advertise!
Is it any wonder that their markets
are poor? What if an automobile
concern or patent medicine concern
advertised as little as the average
farmer? But what if the average
Wisconsin farmer did take notion
to advertise? What would he say OF
his products that would cause people
to travel long distances to secure
them?
This brings us to the point OF pro
ductiOn. We find that some Wiscon-
sin farmers do advertise, and when
they do advertise we find them adver-
Using standard stuff, purebred cat
tie. Wisconsin pedigree grains, Wis
consin varieties of purebred, disease
free, certified potatoes, etc.
The Wisconsin farmer who adver-
tises is up to date, he is producing
something beside scrub and common
stuff, and is awake to the value OF
advertising. He knows the name OF
his stuff. How many, many farmers
when asked the kind of oats they are
growing have to confess that they do
not know, or if they do know, give you
some uncommon name not known to
the best Wisconsin pedigree grain
growers?
So, the problem of marketing farm
crops begins back on the farm with
growing something which the world
wants, with producing standard stuff.
Wisconsin agricultural products can

gree grains are conquering the seed

potatoes are conquering the seed po-
tato markets of the United States. Wis
consin live stock is conquering the
live stock markets. But these things
must be standardized ond kept stand

OF Eitching post just trying to de-
scribe brightwOrk and what it means
to his brine-Soaked soul.
The American battle fleet used to be
white. On the cruise around the
world in 1909 foreigners marveled at
our cleanliness. The ships were like
great floating advertisements for some
washing compound. "They even smell
clean! exclaimed an Australian.
Ildlness is all right and so is health
full Well-airedness. But warfare against
filth can be carried too far. After the
Spanish-American war the eternal ir-
ritation of painting and scrubbing and
polishing coupled with ironbound
rules to preserve the virgin purity of
what had been painted, scrubbed, and
polished, nearly drove men to distrac-
ton. This one thing was said to have.
cent of assertions at that time.
Finally war paint was adopted in
place of white. Rails and upper works
were also gray. Even guns, once so
beautifully polished, now faded into
the misty background of the sea ho-
rizon. Battle lanterns and search
lights were black. Gangways were
dull shellaced. Every effort was made
to assure cleanliness. but without be-
ing finicky or fOppish. All surfaces
were made dull that could be. Today
"brightW0rk CALI on the buge at
S:15 a. m. means more than half an
hour of overhauling than of actual
shining.
The whole ship is divided into clean
ing stations. During the morning
watch from 80 to 7:30 the men
sweep and scrub patchwork, canvas,
decks, masts and other parts: The
period from 8:15 to 8 :45 is merely
final touch.
In the engine and dynamo rooms
there is a good deal of metal surface
to be shined. But this is considered in
the class with scrubbing on deck. How
ever, outdoor machinery, such as
winches, cranes, and capstans have,
small implanted parts which are pol
ished at "brightwork" time.
Wood can also be brightwOod. In
fact this term has come to signify any
surface implanted. For instance the
gunWales (edges or rails) of boats are
no longer vanished. They are scrub
bed, bleached in the sun, and sand
papered until softly white and smooth.
Working parts of gun are polish
ed, but the barrel is painted dull gray.
A concession to ShinineSS is made by
using gray enamel or by Oiling the
painted surface.
It's not hard work though, and
there is something in it that appeals
to the men. A few bright spots change
the whole ships appearance. 1t is like
the single pearl in the dark tie of
well-dressed mans apparel.
Jack might not entirely agree. But
his esthetic taste is less stunted than
he tries to pretend.

Equilibrium Of mind and mental atti-

And, strangely enough of an engine
too.
"It's alive" spectators cried when
the first steam mechanism kicked side

was all. For it's basic lack of balance
made it no more than the abysmal
brute ancestor of our great race Of
modern steam machineries.

At that time centrifugal force was

ments-that is leverages-of rotating
masses were the wild tribe of early

often would they descend on a peace
full habitation of cranks and wheels
and wreck the whole contraption. En-
gines ran, but for how long was mat
ter of luck.
Earlier types did fairly well because
their speed was nothing to brag about.
During the Civil war the Navy de-
partment built the Wampanoag for the
purpose of cleaning out Johnny Reb's
swift commerce destroyers. But her
knees knocked together too hard.
She averaged the then startling
speed Of Is knots on her trial trip. The
engine made only 80 turns per min
ute. By heavy gearing speed of 70
revolutions was transmitted to the pro-
peller shaft Contrast this with mod

But poise was there not, and cruel
not it was. Her wooden sides trem-
bled. Her whole body became palsied
like a great-grandmother who's eaten
too many ice-cream. sodas az girl.
But genius was not TO be beaten SO
easily. In the succeeding 40 years ro-
tative speed increased tenfold and
power jumped every year.

Overcome Soil Ills.
After the chemical analysis has been
made, full report will be prepared
and sent to each farmer. This report
gives results of the analyses, the con-
illusions which were drawn from the
field inspection and outlines of meth
DDS for the permanent Improvement
of the soil.
If the soil is ac.d. the report indi-
Gates how much lime should be applied
to correct this condition. If the soil is
deficient in nitrogen, potash or phOs-
phorus, methods are outlined through
which the deficiency may be cor
rected.
The law which created this labora-
tory indicated that a certain fee should
cost of the work varies somewhat, de-
pending upon the amount of land be-
ing examined. For a field eXamina
ton and chemical analysis of a farm
which does not exceed so acres, the
charge is $1,000 and for each addi-
tiOnal 40 acres the charge is one dOI-
lar additional. When five or more per-
sons in the community make applica-
ton for this service, the charge for
inspection and analyses of the soil Of
80 acres is five dollars for each person
with one dollar for every 40 additional
acres. If, in addition to the above
the farmer wishes to have an accurate
soil map of his farm this will be done
for an additional charge of five dollars
for the first so acres and two dollars
for each additional 40 acres.
Many Farms Examined.
The first year this service was
available, 237 farmers living in 80 diff
ferent communities took advantage of
farmers have had their soils examined.
This will be about SIS communities in
which work of this kind has been done
This means that in this number of
communities from one to ten farm
ers have secured specific instructions
in regard to improving their soils.
Many of these have followed the in
structions and are now securing in
creased yields as result.
All those desiring to secure this
service should make application as
soon as possible for, while it is the
policy to examine farms and collect
soil samples in the order which APP
plications are received, it is some
times desirable to delay an extended
trip until a number of applications
have been received so as to economic
in travelling expenses and time.
Farmers will find it to their ad-
vantage to group together in groups
of five or more. The cost will thus be
materially reduced and the service
which it is possible for the college to
render will be enlarged
It is the purpose of the department
of soils at the university to make this
new line of work put dollars and cents
in the pockets of every farmer in Wis
cOnsin who will take advantage Of this
opportunity.
