break in severe wind, and to OBJ
viate this the top must be prnned
back more or less severely. In case
of split crotches, the advice given
in Farmers Bulletin 117S should be
followed regarding the general treat
ment. including boiling through and
above the crack.
In cases Of estate where great
amount of injury has occurred. and
only a comparatively small force is
available for repairing the damage,
the final cutting of long stubs can
be conveniently left for time, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk,
or close to it, should be attended to
promptly, in any case before warm
weather arrives.
1t is not necessary to fill cavities.
II ia better in most cases to leave
them open. All final cuts should be
Immediately covered with some good
antiseptic and waterproof paint. 1t
will not be necessary to specially
treat the ends of long stubs that are
to be removed close TO tn trunk later
in the season.
In no part of repair work should
spurs be used ON tree.
Spur marks cause injuries through
which it is possible for disease and
decay germs to enter and cause dam
age, in some cases more severe than
would have developed from the orr
ginal simple break. For details of
treatment of all scars and wounds
send for a copy of Farmers Bulletin
1176. which can be obtained from the
Office of Publications, Department of
Washington, d. c.
Remember that prevention is bet
ter than cure. The open wound of
today becomes the decayed spot of
next year and the deep rotten cavity
of ten years from now. 1t is better
to spend a few days or dollars in
careful repair work now than hun
1reds Of dollars for extensive tree
surgery in 1890.

When you talk over the tele-
phone. you should speak direct
ly into it. You will secure the
best results il you are about
ONE INCH away from the
mouthpiece. Scientific tests
show that every additional inch
is equivalent to adding 100
miles to the line over which you
are talking. Some people
stand a foot or two away from
the phone or face in some
other direction; whereupon the
person at the other end of the

them.

Wind TURBINE SHIP

BERLIN, November 7.-Engineer
Anton Flettner's new sailless wind
ship which is lying in kiel barbor and
whose complete success is amply il
Illustrated by the morning newspapers
is considered by Albert Einstein as
a discovery of the greatest impor-
tance.
Flettner's ship consists of hull on
which are mounted two revolving
towers which are equipped with
blades. The wind striking against
the blades turns the entire tower
and the power thus generated is con-
Quoted through the hull and turns
the propellers.
These wind turbines are of the sort
that could easily be mounted on pres
ent day steamers and the windforce
utilized as one factor in making
speed
When questioned by the CORE
epondent for these papers Mr.. Elm
stein said: although it is commonly
ignored. the ordinary sail boat always
was kind of turbine--the principle
by which the ship moved through
the water was essentially the same as
that embodied in turbine construc-
tion. But sails constitute poor
turbine and are extremely inefficient
"Fletter'S towers are the same tur-
hines nationally devised and mount
ed, and the result is Il far greater
performance and much less loss of
power
When the correspondent asked why
such simple thing was not utilized
before Einstein laughed and referred
the queStioner to the egg of CO.
]umbus."
