Patching chickens by Machinery

Patching Chickens by Machinery.
The Scientific American had funny
picture, lately, representing curious
French contrivance for the wholesale
'c:amming Of chickens and other fowls by
machinery. 1t is a huge cylinder with Il
faces, each in five stories Of three compart-
ments each. It holds, therefore. 2l0
fowls. The cylinder is hollow and empty,
except for the axis on which it turns. This
hollow construction renders it easily ven-
t;iated and kept clean. Before it is box
for the operator. This box. Or carriage,
moves up and down by pulleys. The
ga:eur-that sounds less offensive than
crammer-operates thus: Commencing at
the bottom Of one of these "a faces, he
seizes with the left hand the neck OF the
chicken, and. pressing on each side Of the
back, the bird is forced to open its mouth,
as any lady knows who has doctored sick
chicken or canary. The gaveur then in
troduces the metallic end Of the rubber
tube into the throat of the chicken, and by
a pressure of the toot on the pedal the
food rises, and at the same time the
amount passing through the tube is indi-
Gated on dial in front Of the operator.
The three chickens duly fed, he turns the
cylinder on it's axis little, and the next
face of it is before him. When he has
completed the round he turns the crank,
and the carriage rises to the next story
and 80 he goes on to the top. Having
completed the upper circuit, every chick
en- in the epinette is duly ted. Then he
turns the crank in the other direction, and
the carriage descends to the floor, where
it rests on a railroad. It is then moved
along before the next epinette, and the
whole operation on; on 21o more chickens is is

The following circular has been issued

It applies to the railroad line extending
from the Minnesota State line to Sioux

GENERAL MANAGERS OFFICE,
Sioux CITY l. Sr. PAUL RAILROAD. :
ST.. PAUL, July !, 1874.
To the Public:
During the year 1878 this road was op.
Grated at heavy loss on both passenger
and freight trains, but 40 accurate divi.
sion of the expenses was made between
them.
For the first Ave months Of 1874, such
division has been carefully made of the
operating expenses proper, not including
taxes, interest, insurance, or rent paid ILL.
nois Central Company.
The gross earnings of our passenger
trains (includiEg mail aud express earn.
ings, have been, for those months, "A 6 10
cents per train mile, and the expense of
those trains (includlng only ordinary ex'
penses,) have been - lilo cents per train
mile.
If taxes, insurance and Illinois Central
rent were added, our Iowa passengers
carried during those months, have act
ually cost US about six cents per passenger
mile.
Our passenger trains are drst-class trains,
run at over twenty miles per hour, make
all desirable connections, and run at such
hours Of the day as will generally best &C.
commodate the people all along the line Of
the road, and the local fare is FIVE cents
per mile.
We cannot run these trains any chea per
than they have been run. nor nave we any
money in reserve to pay expenses not earn.
ed. We cannot reduce the fare to four
cents per mile and keep these trains run
| nlng.
Without desiring to invite any contro.
versy with the people along our line whose
convenience We are trying to accommo-
date, and whose good will We especially
desire to retain, we propose to continue
these trains on their present time. and at
| the present rates Of fare.
If it shall appear that the people, or any
| considerable number Of them are unwill-
ing to pay this price for this kind of &C..
comm dation, these trains will be discon-
tinued, and such accommodation will be
given to passengers as we can afford at
four cents per mile.
This company has shared with the peo-
pie the disasters and poverty Of the past
year, always doing its utmost to make
these misfortunes as light as possible to
the public. It will ever be It's policy to
afford TO the people it serves the best &C.
commodation at the lowest price within its
means.
| We shall esteem it favor if the several
newspapers published at stations on our
line will publish this communication, and
We are willing thus to leave the ultimate
decision Of the matter to the good sense
of the public. j. w. b1sHoP,

AGRICULTURAL.
salt a. Manure.

Various experiments have been made by
NJ Peligot and others in Europe, to test
the value of salt as manure. The fol-
lowing summing up seems to have been
arrived at : Salt should never be applied
other than in pulverous state, and never
employed on impervious cold and humid
soils. The best manner to use it, is to
combine it with other manures, dose of
200 weight to the acre being sufficient.
When selected to destroy insects, it should
s,e applied before sunrise. In tue case of
cereals, salt strengthens the stems and
causes the ears to fill better, and favors the
dissolution and assimilation Of the phos-
pilates and silicates. It acts vigorously on
potatoes, and can be detected in their
ashes to the extent Of one-haH OF one per-
cent. Asparagus is a veritable glutton in
the presence of salt. 4 dose OF 800
weight per acre acts without fail on beets,
injuring its value for sugar purposes, but
enhancing it for the feeding Of cattle.
Cola has as marked prediction for salt as
asparagus, and in Holland, where the cul-
ture Of peas is SO extensive, salt is some-
thing like necessity. Mixed with hay
in the proportion of aquarter OF a pound
to, 100 weight, the fodder is rendered more
appetizing; but the best way to feed it to
animals is to allow them to enjoy it in the
form OF rock salt. It is calculated that a
horse appropriates daily one-tenth Of an
ounce Of salt, an OK one-half that quanti-
ty, and sheep and pig one-hal: that re-
qu;red by an OK.

Railroad Case.

ST.. PAUL, June 20.-Jndge Hall OF
the Court Of Common Pleas, this morn
in. rendered a decision in the matter O
the application OF tie creditors and
bond holders 10 have receiver ap-
pointed for the ST. Paul and Pacific
Railroad, on the ground that the road
is insolvent and that the management
is un,rustworthy. Judge Hal! denies
the motion for a receiver, and refuses
TO grant the prayers OF the pesitionsrs.
He saws from all that has heen made 10
appear that the road ls not Insolyent,
but the security for its bonds ia ample
and the management OF the road ls ei
fciept and honest. and to appoint re-
ceiver therefor, would damage the
interests OF the petitioners themselves
In the L. s. Circuit Court al appica-
ton was made before Judge Miller, o!
the United States Supreme Court, to
discharge receiver Farley, appointed
last tall by Judge Dltton, OF the Circuit
Court, TO CON, etc the unfinished portion

CHICAGO.
Railrnat Case Decided.

CHICAGO, June 20.-A Springfield
special says the Supreme Court of lllii
nois has rendered decision in the case
of Porter ct al. Us. Rockford, Rock is-
land and st. Louis railroad, which in
wolves the question OF assessment BY
the Board OF Esualization O; the capi.
tai stock. The decision sustains the
Board OF Equalization, aud ia OF great
Interest az i, virtually decides alI similar
cases brought before ths Supreme Court
The decision concludes as fo!lows:
Even from the appellee's own ho"'ng
it is difficult to conceive that thls as :
sessment does it injustice. The capital
stock paid in is presumed to have been
used iu the corporate business, and this
Indebtedness could have lawfully been
created for no other than corporate
business. But be this as
it may, we are not convinced from the
allegation in the bill taken in connec-
tion with accompanying exhibit, that
the valuatisn OF the appeIlees 9 property
as made by the board OF equalization ls
so upjnst and oppressive IS TO be sui
f1cieut evidence OF fraud on the part OF
the board 10 justify us in restraining
the collection OF the tax imposed upon
it. Some further objections are found
on the ground that the corporation was
not notified OF the meeting Of the board
OF equalization. The constitution does
not provide that the legislature shall
require that persons or corporations
whose property shall he assessed ior
taxation shall he notified OF the assess
ment, but in the case o. the WeslerH
Union Telegraph Company agalDs!
Illinois, where the board o. equalization
assessed the capital stock, the court
held that the Board o! Equalization
is empowered to assess for taxation the
capital stock OF such corporations as
are created by or under the lave of
Illinois, and that the shares OF stock in
such corporations ere not liable 10 be
assessed for taxation, but that persons
residing iu this State and owning shares
OF other States must be taxed only the
value Of such shares. The assess
ment for taxation OF the capital stock
OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, foreign corporation, is unau-
thorized by law and void, and that the
collection OF the tax levied upon ii must
be eujoinei in the various counties OF
the State.
