HOMEMADE BROODER.
It's Designer Claims That 1t Is Practical
in Every Respect.

in Every Respect.
Some time ago I promised de-
scription of my homemade brooder.
wish to say on the start that while not
costly it is thoroughly practical for all
ordinary purposes, for it has been
tested and does it's work well.
The size I shall give is large enough
to accommodate 95 or 100 chickens,
which is as many as ought to be in
one flock. To warm the brooder, I
use a common tin wash-boiler with
cover. In the center of the bottom I
insert 21a-inch pipe, open at the
lower end but closed at the top, and
long enough to reach within two
inches of top of the boiler. The hot
air going into this tube from the lamp
underneath heats the water that sur
rounds it.
The brooder box should be AZ feet
long and feet inches wide, and as
deep as the boiler is high, with room
under the floor for an ordinary hand
lamp with chimney; use lamp with
wide wick, and let it come within an
inch of the mouth of the tube. The
boiler can be placed lengthwise or
across the floor as one may wish, yet
there must be plenty of room to let the
chickens come around the boiler with
out being crowded.
The floor should be high enough to
allow the boiler to come to the top of
the brooder, so as not to let the steam
into the chamber where the chickens
are. Cut hole in the floor one foot
square, over which set the boiler and
under it place the lamp, with the

When the room is warm enough for

QUEBEC, July 10--A terrible accident
occurred on the Grand Trunk railway at
Craig's road station early yesterday morn
ing, the result of which 13 persons were
killed and 20 others more or less seriously
injured, two of whom may die.
A large pilgrimage from Sherbrooke,
Windsor Mills and Richmond had left the
latter town about 10 O'Clock, Monday
evening for the famous Catholic shrine OF
Ste. Anne de Beaupre. The train carrying
the pilgrims was divided into two sections,
one running few minutes behind the
other.
The first section reached Craig's road
about three o'clock, and stopped at the
tank to take water. Due precautions were
taken, and the semaphore was thrown to
mark Danger" against the following
train. Only the tainmen were astir
The Pullman in the rear was wrapped il
silence and the sleepers all unconscious of
the terrible fate that was rushing upon
them.
Suddenly the second section, which had
passed the semaphore at full speed, dashed
