IMPROVED SPRINKLING WAGON.
A Device that Does Away With Itoad
, side rumps and Tank v.
A recent improvement in sprinkling
wagons bids fair to revolutionize road
and street sprinkling in the country
where there is no water system to sup
ply water from hydrants. Heretofore
it has been the custom to erect pniup
ing plants, or to pipe water from dis
tant points to stations along the road at
such distances that the load at one of
these stations would last until the
. wagon reached, the next station on its
trip. This plan makes neoessary the
expense of piping, tanks, wells, horse
I powers, etc., and has always been a
very considerable item of expense, and
' more or Jess of an obstacle to having
i roads well watered.
I The improvement consitts in attach
ing a gKsoline engine and centrifugal
pump on a platform at the rear of the
sprinkling wagon so that water can be
taken from any convenient source. A
suction hose with foot valve ia attached
to the pnmp which can be lowered into
A tank crMh wutArina tmnoVi nr ,n
I , , .. J
water source. The wagon driver tiien
, starts the engine, and in from six to
ten minutes his wagon is filled.
The illustration shows a wagon and
pumping outfit just completed by the
Hercules Gas Engine Co., of San Fran
cisco and now in use by the Supervisors
of Tulare county upon the roads near
Visalia.
It consists of an improved type of an
ordinary sprinkling wagon, and a plat
form built at the rear of the tank upon
which stands a 2'j H. P. Special Her
cules Gasoline Engine geared to a 8
incb centrifugal pump. From this
pump runs a rubber suction hose and
discharge pipe into the tank. The tank
holds 12,000 gallons of water which
will be filled by the pump in six min
utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex
ceed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and
at a cost of about 3 cents for each till
ing. The uses to which this improve
ment can be put are not confined to
road sprinkling, but it is applicable to
any purpose where water has to be
hauled, as, for instance, supplying
threshing machinery or conveying water
from one point to another for any pur
pose. The simplicity of the engine
makes its use perfectly safe and relia
ble, as it is automatic in action, all
that is needed being to open the valve
admitting the gasoline, and to give the
wheel a start with the hand. It ie
durable and not at all likely to get out
of order, requirng neither engineer noi
machinist to keep it in condition foi
work.
Sprinkling country roads has been
considerable of a problem, and it is be
lieved that this improvement will go
far towards an economical solution of
it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works of
San Francisco, furnish these wagons
and engines in any desired capacity, and
fully guarantee them in every way.

Women In University Life.
One of the reports of the educational
department in Enlgand has a specif 1
table devoted to university life. In
quiries have been instituted as to the
arrangements made for women students
at 162 of the universities of the civil

189 replies were received. The ques
tions asked were: Are women admit
ted as members of the universities!
AreHhey admitted on the same term
as men? Are they admitted to lectures'i
Are they admitted to examinations:
Are they eligible for university degrees!
It is significant of the advanced liber

"Yes" to make save as regards certain
medical courses in the north country.
Anstralia, India and Canada also
answer, V yes," und Toronto proudly

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
' (Office of Downing, Hopkins Co., Chicago
Boat d 01 Trade Brokers, 71 1-TU Chamber ot Cuu
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.
We have had a very nervous, sensi
tive market iu wheat the past week,
but the undertone has been very strong
at times, and prices were up 8 cents
ovojr a week ago. "The news has been
quite bullish in tone, and foreigners
have been liberal buyers of wheat for
nearby shipment. About the only
tiling that at all favored the bears-was
the faot that rains had fallen moder
ately over the drouth stricken area, and
that fall work was again iu progress in
the winter wheat sections. Keoeipts
of wheat have been large, with an ur
gent demand for good milling wheat
from nearly all quarters. Exports for
the month of September were the larg
est on record, footing up 80,000,000
bushel. The Amerioan visible supply
shows an increase of 109,000 bushels
for last week, and now totals 24,629,.
000 bushels, against 67,288,000 a year
ago. The faot that France has again
been a large buyer of wheat the past
week has done much to stimulate
prices, and were it not that speculation
is very light we Bhould have seen a far
greater advance. Wheat is on a legiti
mate basis the basis of supply and de
mand but every one seetuB to be afraid
of it because they oompare prices witn
what they were a year ago, and many
predict declines, but while the cash de
mand is as urgent as it is now, and
foreigners are buying our wheat and
flour at the rate they are now doing,
there is no chance or more than slight
reactions and : everything favors a
higher range of values. We feel very
bullish on the situation, and advise
our friends to get hold of some wheat
and it will soon show them a good
profit.
There has been more weakness
shown in corn than the most sanguine
bear had looked for, and as holders be
came easily frightened and threw their
holdings on a market that was narrow
and with light trade at the start, the
result can easily be foreseen rather
sharp decline with shorts the best buy
ers. Receipts have been large.

THE FARM AND HOME
MATTERS OF INTERESTTO FARM
ER AND HOUSEWIFE.
Borne Point In Favor of Shredded
Fodder -The Best Ho for Bacon
Hell Off the Foor Stock-Curing for
the Machinery.
Shredded Fodder Ileet,
During the past few years unusual
interest has been taken In slireddlng
fodtior. Many have hesitated, thinking
Hint the Bhredded corn would not keep
wel In the mow or stack. When first
practiced more or loss fodder was
shreddtMl iu a somewhat damp condi
tion. It Invariably heated In the mow,
became musty, anil gave unsatisfactory
results. The foddt-r should not be run
through the machine until U la entirety
dry nud well cured. It would be hotter
over-dry than not dry enough, lu 1805,
at the Indiana experiment station, all
of the com fodder was .shredded. It
kept well lu the mow, and wns free
from imistliu'sa. The cattle nud sheep
ate It froely, mid It was used well Into
the spring. There are several points
In favor of shredded fodder. It Is more
economical to feed than the uncut corn.
It Is eaten up cleaner by tlic stock than
most uct fodder, there being h waste,
due to the nbseuce of the hard, sharp
edged mid short butt pieces of stalk
usually found In cut fodtler. The re
fuse makes better material for bedding
than does whole stalks or cut pieces,
being finer and softer. It handles far
better In the manure pllo than does the
entire stalk. It does not make the.
mouths of cattle sore, while that of
coarsely cut fodder oftentimes does.
It packs more economically In the mow
than does uncut fodder. The feeding
value of shredded and cut fodder Is
practically the same. Shredding Is com
ing Into practice, and many farmers are
making use of the process.
Best Bacon Hon.
There Is n rivalry between the Tarn
worth and the Improved Yorkshire as
to which Is the better bacon hog. The
fact of the Tamworth being a compara
tively new breed In America gives It
the advantage of novelty. Both breeds
are populur with the baeon-curers. The
Yorkshire makes an excellent cross on
the short-bodied sows of any grade,
though the writer does not advise that
course. The fanner endeavoring to
breed up a type of hogs suitable for
bacon should, If possible. Improve with
Yorkshire blood on the matern:tl line,
and instead of obtaining a pure-bred
Yorkshire or Tamworth sire, should In
every case obtain the dam in prefer
ence to the sire. But there is a strong
aversion In the minds of farmers gen
erally to breeding long-sided hogs, and
the long snout of the Tamworth I an
almost Impassable barrier In the way
of the Introduction of tbjs breed into
America. Farmers, from theli famil
iarity with the commm scrub hog, ridi
cule the Idea of breeding an animal
with so long a snout as the Tamworth.
Though when we find the long snout
associated with long and deep sides of
the very best bacon we can afford to
look upon It with at least a subdued
hostility. The Improved Yorkshire must
not be confounded with the small York
shire. The Improved Yorkshire Is a
modification of the large Yorkshire; It
has less of size than the former, and
more of smoothness.
Selling Off Foor Stock,
As winter approaches every farmer
should look over his farm stock and
consider what of It will pay best for
keeping through until spring. If all
that does not come up to the stattdnrd Is
sold to the butcher or otherwise dis
posed of, the money for It and the hay
or grain required for Its winter suste
nance will leave the farmer richer In
the spring than If he fed It. Don't try
to get high prices for the poor stock.
There Is less loss In disposing of it than
In keeping It. The farmers' profit, In
these days depend more on the kind of
stock he keeps than on any other, fac
tor. Cure for the Machinery,
Do not leave your costly machinery
out in the field, or uncovered. With
proper enre the machinery oiight to
last you for years, but It will not. If left
exposed to the weather and storms six
or eight mouths In a year. The Indus
trious and economical farmer cares for
everything, because he Is aware thut
a continual outlay for new machinery
each year to take the place of that
which has been allowed to rot In the
field is extravagance. V
Atthea for Bandy Soils.
Sandy soils are always deficient In
potash. Even if they hud this mineral,
they have usually so little vegetable
matter that the potash forms an Insolu
ble compound, by uniting with the
sand. The potash In caustic ashes dis
solves the silicate of potash, and also
helps Itself until Its caustic properties
are lost. But old leached ashes are
often quite as beneficial to sandy soils
as are the unlenched. They always
contain some potash and some phos
phate, which the water used for leach
ing would not dissolve. But they also
usually contain some ammonia, taken
from the air, and which makes Its pot
ash a nitrate of potash and a very pow
erful fertilizer.
Hiving Bees in a Tree.
The usual way when a bee tree has
been found is to cut it down, stupefy
the bees with smoke as well as may be,
and take their honey. This of course
destroys all future harvests of sweet
from that tree or swarm. Possibly Don
lei Johnson, an old bee hunter of Ded
ham. Me., has discovered a better way.
The bees provided against their tree
being cut down and their stores de
stroyed by selecting a tree which over
hung a deep ravine. If the tree were
cut down It would fall Into the ravine,
smashing tbe tree and destroying the
honey. 80 be inserted a gas pipe from
a hollow near the ground, running It up
the tree until the honey was reached.
Then he built a fire at tbe foot of the
tree. 60 soon as tbe fire warmed the
honey Inside,' It began to run down,
where It was caught In palls. It nearly
filled a barrel. Mr. Johnson thinks bo
has a permanent hive of bees on that
tree so long as It does not succumb to
the effects of fire at Its roots. He
thinks there Is enough honey left to
winter the bees, and that next year
they will go to work nud fill the empty
combs. But It is very possible ib&
heat sufficient to molt honey comb has
killed the bees,, and that the barrel of
honey this year U the last be will get
from that tree.
Japanese Plum.
Those who wish to grow plums la
the garden I advise the trying of a sot
of Japan plums, as there seems to be
good reason to believe that they will
be the plums of the future when the
black-knot has wiped the older race
out of existence. This pest Is hard to
control when the hedgerows are full of
native species of prunes, and those
trees serve for Its propagation. Fruit
growers have considered It hopeless to
be able to fight the fungus, nud are
planting the Japanese plums In place
of the native kinds. In planting It
should be borne In mind that a much
greater distatiee Is needed between the
trees thau between other plum-nt
least eighteen feet wheu mature growth
is reached by the trees. The curctillo
seems to be quite ns troublesome 111
these new plums as on tho older ones,
though we hud hoped much from tho
thicker-skinned fruit. But to linve
clour-skinned plums the curcull.) must
bo fought in early summer, when It Is
doing its work. We lost but few from
the stings, but the fruit wus disfig
ured, Garden and Forest.
How to Keep the Churn.
It Is particularly trying during ex
tremely hot weather to keep a wooden
churn, which Is used not more than
twice J week, from shrinking some
what about the comers, where the
staves which compose the shies are
Joined to the bottom. Of course, tho
churn may be left In the cellar, but that
menus many a wearying tug up and
down on churning days, unless the
churning Is done there. In tho hitter
case, mold Is apt to collect upon any
womlcn utensil In an ordinary cellar. To
keep water In the churn require con
stant care lest It be forgotten, for It
should be changed every day. A better
way Is to book the churn to the stand
ard, bottom side up, where a barrel
churn Is used, and pour water around
the Inside of the chine, covering the out
side of the churn bottom, which will be
sufficient to keep the wood from shrink
ing by reason of becoming too dry.
Jersey Bulletin.
Marketing Turnips.
To get the best prices for turnips the
grower must calculate to sell a large
part of bis crop from house to house.
It Is a vegetable that almost every
householder will buy one or two bush
els of and not like the potato, which
must be secured In sufficient quautltles
to supply tbe table twice a day through
the winter. It Is best always to grow
both the white for curly use and either
a late yellow turnip or rutabaga for use
in spring. If brought to their houses
tbe turnips can always be sold at about
the price charged by the grocers per
bushel. If the difference between the
turnips for early and late use Is ex
plained most households will take a
bushel of each. It makes extra work
for the farmer to peddle his turnip,
but the double price he gets over what
tho grower would pay makes It worth
his while. It Is for the consumer's In
terest also to buy turnips fresh from
the field, rather than the grocery stock
that for days, or perhaps weeks, havo
been exposed to the air.
Rag Weed in Clover.
Many fields of spring seeded clover
are In the fall apparently almost smoih-'
ered with rag weed which had an ear
lier start than clover. Jut so soon as
the rag weed gets In blossom, put the
mower In the field and cut both weeds
and clover as close to the ground as the
Inequalities of Its surface will allow.
Hake the weeds and clover Into win
rows and take them when cured to the
barn. Stock will get a good deal of
good out of this; though the rag weed
should not bo fed to milch cows, as It
will make bitter milk. When tho rag
weed Is out of the way the clover will
grow ho as to smother any sprouts that
might start from lis root.
Grapes on Old FurniM.
'Gapes prevail on old farms more
than on new locations, duo to the foul
ing of the soil during yeurs of occu
pancy. Chicks should be kept ou clean
board floors, or on new plots of ground,
the object being to avoid any location
that may have been occupied by fovls
or chicles during any former year. One
of the methods adopted by thoso who
have been successful Is to spade a piece
of ground and scatter a mixture of owe
part salt and en pnrts alr-shiked lime
oa the surface, raking It well with a
flue-toothed rake.
Improvement in Tomatoes.
There has been great Improvement In
both the shape and quality of tomatoes
since we first knew and liked them. The
original tomato was very rough, had
little pulp, and was merely a bag ot
seeds and water with very thick, tough
skin. The first Improvement wns In se
curing sound and smooth tomatoes, but
somewhat smaller than the fruit was
originally. But for many years we have
had tomatoes full of pulp, and having
comparatively few seeds. These are
much the best for cooking and canning,
as when cooked there Is something to
them besides seeds.
Quality of Evaporated Fruit.
So much Is said about the advantage
of fruit evaporating to make a market
for otherwise unsalable fruit that many
may think it makes little difference
what its quality may be. The truth Is
that only the really good fruit should
be used for the. evaporator. It may be
and often Is unsalable because of blem
ishes which affect Its looks but do not
Impair quality. But to take green,
worm-eaten fruit and put It through
tbe evaporator Is a mistake. Its first
effect Is to discourage the consumer,
making him think that evaporated fruit
Is not so good as he expected. Poor
fruit is not worth much for the pigs,
but that or other stock Is the best mar
ket for It -. : '
Lote-Bovm Winter Grain.
It Is not the size of fall growth made,
but Its character, that decides whether
it can stand winter freezing and thaw
ing. A late-sown small growth, If vig
orous, will come out all right. In fact,
for some reasons the small top Is best,
as It does not evaporate so much. Noth
ing can prevent the soil freezing on the
surface lower than the grain roots reach
In their full growth. If there is a great
amount of leaf on winter grain It Is
more easily killed to the root huu
where the growth Is small.
