MAINE CENTRAL.
Figures From the Forthcoming Report for
1929

Among thespermanent improvements
the Maine Central management has de-
cided to undertake during the coming
year is the erection of several new steel
bridges. The new bridges to be erected
are Topsham bridge over the andre
scoggin at Brunswick on the main line,
KenneDec bridge over the Kennebec at
Waterville, Ticonic bridge over the
Kennebec at Waterville, and the two
west spans of LIE vision bridge over the
Androscoggin at Lewiston. Topsham
bridge will have four spans, length 100
feet s inches; Ticonic bridge, four
spans, length 628 feet; Kennebec bridge.
four spans, length 692 feet; Lewiston
BRIDGE two spans, length 317 feet 2
inches. During the process of their
erection, the Maine Central, following
the rule which has guided their bridge
repairs for the last 20 years, will keep
competent and trustworthy bridge in
spector in charge night and day.

GOOD DETECTIVE WORK.
Deputy Hartnett Receivers Quantity of
Stolen Goods.

On the night of the ed of October a
sample trunk belonging to Henry FRASER
& Co., Boston, dealers in pipes and
smokers articles, was stolen from the
baggage room at the Union station. The
trunk was taken by the thieves into a
freight car, near at hand. There they
broke open the trunk and took out about
$40 worth of pipes, cigar holders cigar
cases, match boxes, etc. Detective Head
of the Maine Central, was away, and it
was not for two days that the Portland
police were notified of the theft. Then
Deputy Marshal Hartnett took the case
in hand and has since that time been on
the look out for the thieves. The obvious
thing to do was to obtain some trace of
the stolen goods, as soon as the thieves
began to dispose of them. One of the
guilty persons at Cape. Elizabetht this
week, attempted to sell meerschaum
pipe. Here was a clue and Deputy Hart
nett was prompt in following it up.
Taking Sheriff Cram and Officer Jones
with him Monday night, he proceeded to
the Cape and soon had under arrest
Percy H. Sawyer and Fred H. Wilson.
Both are young men, about 20 or 81
years of age. Wilson is an employe of
the Maine Central and Sawyer formerly
worked for the same road. They were
both brought to the city and locked up.
They will be arraigned before Judge
Gould this morning. Both belong to

are greatly mortified by the disgrace of
the young men. All the stolen property
has been recovered.

Stoddard Lectures. )

In John L. Stoddard's late journey
around the world, with Messrs. Burditt
and North, the party travelled nearly
10000 miles. They were go days on
ocean steamships. There were journeys
with horses, camels, elephants and dom
keys, and many miles they were carried
in carriages propelled by man power or
in chairs on mems shoulders. In their
sleeping cars they carried their own bed
ding, in hotels in India their indispensa-
BILE body servants slept on the floor out
side their doors, wrapped in blankets,
like mummies. Experiences SO unique
have produced fund of unus ual infor-
nation which Mr.. Stoddard has develop
ed into the most absorbingly interesting
series of lectures he has ever given.

Printing Old Records.

tits suggested that the city records,
or town records, more properly speaking,
be printed, that are embraced in the
two volumes from 1912 to 1774. Those
embracing from TIA to 1886 were unfor-
tunately burned some time ago in fac
tory building at falmouth where they
were kept by the town of Falmouth.
One volume alone was saved. It was
the one Mr.. Griffin was copying for the
city and he had it at the time in his pos
session. All cities are having their old
city records printed, The cost of print

of box ventilators. Fastened above to
the walls in front and back of the rows
of cows are steel tracks on which run
hanging cars That back of the cows
is for manure car. The manure is
thrown into this from the trench, and
rolled ont to the rear, where 1t IL
dumped into wagon or sled, to be
hauled at once to the field. The saving
under this system rs compared with
the old plan of throwing the manure
out through hole in the wall back of
each COW is apparent The tracks in

silos and grain bins. The hay is stored

For Guernsey stock Mr. Cottrell
shares Mr.. Morton's enthusiastic adj
mirNtion. 1t is the dairy stock of the
future, he believes, and he looks for
ward with confidence to signal triumph
for his favorites i'll the stock contest
which has been undertaken Mt the
Worlds Fair. Five of Mr.. Morton's
herd have been selected for this pur-
pose, and are now in Chicago. The
Guernsey, Mr.. Cottrell insists, is simply
nm improved Jersey. "The two breeds
differ chiefly" he added, 'in size,
vigor, disposition and feeding habits.
The milk is Just about the same, no
expert can tell the two apart. The
Guernseys are, on the average, heavier
mixers, and their milk may have II
little higher color. They are hearticr
eaters as n rule They average heavier
than jerseys, and never having been
closely inbred or pampered, are freer
from disease and more vigorous in
constitution. The chief difference
is in disposition. They are not
nervous and high-strung like the Jer-
seys. Guernseys are the best barn
dairy cattle in the world. They are
perfectly at home at public shows or
contests, while Jerseys are usually too
excited and frightened to do their best.
The Guernseys can be shipped and
handled easier and have greater ca
pacity for turning food into milk when
fed in barn.
OF the stock in the barn Midas,
2OO3, the king of the herd, attracts
most attention. He is a five-year-old,
and is pronounced by many experts to
be the finest Guernsey bull in the
world. His large, well rounded body,
straight back. broad loins fine head.

Ellerslie people have been called upon
to defend and explain their methods.

center of the bowl and the centrifugal
force throws it to the outside. The
skim milk, being the heavier, Is thrown
clear to the outside and the lighter
cream has to 90 nearer the middle. In
this way one is separated from tn"

1900 pounds of milk in an hour. The
cream is taken from the separator and
immediately run over Star cooler

was made with n machine to produce
butter directly from the new milk.
The butter made i'll this way had
very different flavor from that made
by the old method Samples were
sent to each of our customers with the
request that they try it side by side
with that made by the old process and
report. With single exception every
customer wanted butter by the new
method. We went to work making
butter with the machine, but it did
not take all the butter out of the milk.
The loss was about 7 per cent, and we
had to devise some way to make the
quality of butter demanded by our
customers and at the same time save
all the butter. We ran the milk
through the separator, cooled the
cream immediately to go degrees and
churned : The buttermilk from this
churning was analysed and showed
about 3 per cent butter---as much as is
found III ordinary city milk. We tried
again, cooling the cream to so degrees,
and the buttermilk showed consider
ably less loss in butter. We were on
the right track. We kept reducing
the temperature, every reduction
showing corresponding reduction in
amount of butter lost in the butter
milk until temperature of 80 degrees
was reached, when the buttermilk
showed only 4 faint trace of butter,
usually less tnan 1-20 of l per cent
Throughout the summer we churned at
SO to 40 degrees. After the cattle
were put in the stable and given dry
feed we found it necessary to raise the
churning temperature to 4 degrees.
