I Anderson has an Inventor-mechan ic who is always working lo develop Hie possibilities ol' bis pet-steam C. W. Strlbllng, who has [ic rf ec tod a number of devices, bas In his shop on Church street a turbine wheel, driven by steam, which can make, it is estimated, IG,OOO revolutions a minute. The turbine is operated by means of .'-team driven through a Jot 1-1 titli of an Inch In diameter, so small that the I bick ness of a sheet of writing paper would slop it. Those Jets of steam passing upon the surface of the turbine wheel give it tho rotary mo ion by being caughl up in late ral vanes traversing the wheel. The most delicate machine In the elly registers up to 30,000 revolutions a minute, and tills cannot measure the revolutions of Mr. Strlbllng's device. Another very Important and use fnl in vent ion, though not one which so appeals to the inventor himself, ts a bmsh used for washing soda and milk bottles. This brush revolves around a spindle which injects water Into the bottle I ll rou gb several places in the brush. The present mode of washing compresses the air at the bottom of Hie bottles and they are not thoroughly cleaned. With regard to his invention and of the principies of driving by steam. Mr. Strlbllng has prepared the follow ing statement: We learn from history that the ll rat steam engine was brought to ibis country from longland In 1753, having been i..vented sonic fifty years earlier hy tho eminent chemist and famous first engineer, James Watt. .-'ince i he first appearance ol' the steam engine in America Yankees have been making Improvements upon Mic original machine. Almost every conceivable idea thal promised lo (unveil waler into vapor has been tried ont in the const ruction of steam boilers. fruin tho we;il<. cumbersome, drum type boiler, with its ability to bear only a pressure ol' ll' to I I pounds per square Inch, ol' thc da.vs Ol' Mr. Watt and the Coopers, has bein developed the massive water lube boilers of the present time, able to bear working pressures ot' son pounds lier square inch, and the pres sure would probably be carried nundi higher but for the .act that to ob tain tin-so high pressures Ibo steam must be superheated, and this super heating would, owing to the fad Dm I Stool loses about live-sixths of ?ts st r er gib on being brought to ? red beat, render the strongest boilers un safe. Hui thc engine Itself has un dergone more changos in some re spects, titan any other machine I know ol'. The principle ol' .-leam engines is to-day exactly what ? was 200 years ago. Thal is, steam must ne emit ted io the cylinder through an open ing < <-ailed I he poi ll. < ?erl il -elf against a movable bead (.ailed ihe piston) and be gotten ont of the cyl inder through another opening (also called a porn. That means thai dur ing one-half or i'm revolution of Hie driving wheel, whether locomotive or stationary engine, the piston is traveling in one il i reel lon and dur ing thc oilier ball the r?volu: ion. thc same pi: ion is going In tho opposite dlri lion, and thai means again (hal at i he end of one t ra v el Ol' I he pis ton, or one-half revolution ol' the w 1|( there must !><? a complete stop ol ibo piston before it cnn reverse Itself for the travel in the opposite direction, or Ibo oilier half r?volu ,Jon Hm wheel, it also means i hM tf.e steam A he h drove thc pis ton in one direction must be gotten oui of i ho cylinder bet?re the piston can make Rs trip ii, the opposite di reel ion. Then it necessarily follows that the speed al wir, h thc piston will travel in either direction of ?ts stroke is ver., largely determined, not so nundi by ihe load which the engine has to draw. hu. by Ibo Speed at which the expended si earn ls gotten out of the cylinder after the piston has reached 'he end of Its travel. Thia brings us to a complication of circumstances not very easy to han dle, and this getting strain out of the cylinders probably porplexos en gine builders more than any other part nt' the construction of tho ma chine, for if tlie steam ls tardy lu its exit lt will cause a back pressure in the cylinder, or an oxhause pres sure operating against Hie "live" steam in the other end of tin.' cylin der, and this hack pressuro must be overcome hy increased boiler pres sure or else a loss must he suffered in s|ieed, which, within reasonable limits, means a loss of power as well as wasted fuel lu maintaining power pressure (han would give maximum service from tho boiler. Clotting tho steam li"o and out of the cylinders of piston ce glues is ac complished hy moans ol' valves and valve gears, and in this field lies about al! the Improvements that have been made In the engine proper since Mr. Watt first maile bis "walking beam" type of engine, To minimize the consumption ol steam lb?; "Corliss" salvo is now pretty generally in use on stationary engines, and to simplify tho valve gear on locomotives the old. cumber some, heavy and complicated linj< motion which bas been In use for .">C years or more, is being supplanted by tho less complex W.iisonaort valve gear. Mut thal back and r rib, re versing, churning motion of Ibo pis ton, with ils cons?quent loss ol power, is tho same to-day that it wa: in Mr. Walt's first steam engine, am will never be improved except will some form ol' crank less engine. Ono ol' the Hist ol' this form wai that known as Ibo "bamb" rotar: engine, which was Invented about 2: years ago. lt consisted of a motor ii the form of au eccentric mounted 01 ?' central shaft, and rotating withll an annular cylinder packed with wi per valves placed ISO degrees apart and was accommodated willi lille and exhaust ports corresponding ti thc position of the valves. This cn gino, willi several others that ap pealed about the same time, dc pended lo some extent upon the CN panslve force of steam for the dc volopmcnt of its power (which is tb correct idea), but thc Internal bac pressure was so groat as lo rende most engines built upon Dial an similar plans practically valueless. Then, and in quick successioi came the steam turbine. As thei are many pianufacturers at the pre ont timo building this form of ci gino, all of them having some fe? lures that appear to be good . an others that do hot, will mention n ono hero as hoing nearest corree but will say that all of them aro co rect in that all working parts travi continuously in ono direction, an are. thcrfore, capable of attainiii high speeds, increasing instead of d inlnlshing the power thereby. This form of engine const rudie I is yji in the experimental stage ar i therefore yet open to many Improv moats, lu mj little machine, whit was built lo drive a bottle wnslv tor a local dairy. I claim that I lia' .nade our of tbese improvements l so constructing ibo wanes and stea .eis as to make it do tho same wm nu less steam than other makes tm bine.-, and if I am not mistake we will see in the next few years a lomoblles cheaper and satlsfactori driven b> some form ol' rotary slea ."lg i ?ie.

KOI' RICH LA > Communication Regarding Poultry Addressed tc Poultry on tlio Farm. With Tew exceptions, it ls a gen orally accepted tact that poultry on tho farm ls looked upon by the far mer as hardly worth his notice as a profit-paving factor in tho manage ment ol' the farm. This is evidenc ed from tho manner, as a rule, lu wlilch they aro taken caro of. Tho slock and cattle must have their warm, clean stables, and tho pigs good stys, but anything from an ap ple or cedar tree to an apology for a house-some of which have cracks through which you could "throw a cat"-will do for poultry. These conditions are more in evi dence in some sections than In oth ers, and South Carolina seems tobe om- of the States lu which tho 'arm ors and others Interested aro awak ening and showing more Interest in poultry and the profit which they can bo made to pay when properly cared for. Hens respond readily to good treatment, and will moro than pay for their keei> when properlyhousod and fed. .Many poultry-keepers think thal all lt ls necessary to give hens in the way of food is plenty ol corn, and then aro disappointed when they fail to lay. ls there a farmer In the 'country who would expect to make good corn or cotton on ground lu which either of thc three elements necessary for plant food - namely, phosphoric acid, pot ash and nitrogon-was entirely ab sent, without supplying same? .Inst so with the hen.

Of course there aro some people who do not car; to market eggs at all. only keeping hens for eggs for homo use. but it has been our obser vation that, even when this Is Hie case, usually two or three times the number of bens are kept, in order to get a sufllcien! quantity for home use. than would be necessary under proper co.'dilions, thereby making Hie eggs cost more limn they prob ably would if bought in the market. Taken individually, tho poultry industry is a small thing, lint gov ernment statistics show that the American hen ls always "on lo her job" and ; inks way up as a food producer, and her annual output ls valued up in tho 'millions. To Illustrate the magnitude of the industry in certain sections of tho country, take our sister State of Tennessee. Just before Christmas last year there was shipped from Alexandria, Tenn., SOO,OOO pounds of dressed turkeys; from Morris town, Tenn., 30 cars, valued at fifty thousand dollars, and from Mur freesboro, turkeys valued at. approx imately fifty thousand dollars-over one hundred and fifty thousand dol lars distributed among the farmers and poultry men of Tennessee for turkeys alone-in addition to which there is no telling low many eggs and chickens were shipped by these men; hut Tennessee, and especially the section around Morristown, ls said to ship out more eggs and chick ens than any other section of the South. Xow everybody wake up and get in line, and let's raise more and bet ter poultry ns a side line to cotton. In this section wo can raise all the grain necessary On which to feed them, and wo have an Ideal climate and large markets close at hand, with good transportation facilities, so why not all of us increase our flocks of poultry and get some of the money which the world is paying for eggs and poultry started our way?

Even if you have a rye patch, or other green growing stuff where the hens can get at it, and your hons are not doing what you think they ought to, the sprouted oats will help them. As to Host Breeds.
