, the San Franeisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Every Spaniard who thinks or who bears
high responsibility knows that nation ike
the United States could crush Spain ut
terly in a few months of warfare-capture
her colonies, sweep her fleets and COM
merce from the sea, lombard her coasts,
blockade her ports and visit her with the
awful burden Of an indemnity afterward.
AS between that cataclysm and the mob, a
statesman as wise as Sagasta would prefer
the mob. Better turmoil at home, even il
it should bring in the soldiery Don Carlos,
who might, in the end, regenerate Spain,
than the national suicide of entering con-
test in which defeat and ruin are fore
doomed.

RESERVATIONS. from a practically official
source that Spain feels aggrieved that the
United States should maintain such "a
strong fleet in the vicinity of Key West,
shows that the Spanish news agencies are
not wholly in touch with the points OF
greatest interest. The plant from the
ministry about our ships would hardly
have been uttered if 1t were officially felt
that the fleet was being moved about sole
ly for magnifying purposes.
But the choicest bit in the whole edition
IS a news dispatch to the impartial from
Lisbon saying that a score of sailors de-
serted from the American men-of-war
while they were there, and that they were
nearly all Spaniards." This country Is
more fortunate than it suspected.

A Good Roads Court.
From the Providence Journal.

A Maryland judge has decided that q
town ordinance prohibiting the riding of
wheels on sidewalks when the streets are
impossible is not effective. The rider who
was arrested turned on the sidewalk to
avoid an exceptionally bad place in the
roadway. and. although he rode distance
of only % feet on forbidden ground, war
rant was issued. The evidence showed that
wheel could not be pushed through the
mud hole, and the court in dsmissing the
case, ruled that under such conditions rid
ers and drivers were justified in trespass-
ing on private property. 1t is possible that
the higher courts may not sustain so lib
eral a ruling. but its reversal will not de-
prive the judge of the lower court OF his
reputation for common sense.

PROFITS IN DAIRYING.

1t is well known that the farmers
who are the most successful are those
who make a speciality of dairying
This is due to the fact that market
is always ready for milk and butter.
The evidence that dairying pays is the
fact that even with cows that are pur-
chased, and of no recognized breed,
the farmers manage to make a profit.
with better stock success IS almost
certain. 1t is possible for a farmer to
keep twice as many COWS when he
makes a large profit, because he can
incur greater expense in purchasing
food, and thus enrich the farm with
manure, but what is better the farmer
can more than double his profits with
the same number of animals by using
those that produce twice as much milk
ard butter as the common kinds.
With the advantage of perennial
growths, which obtain in this section
there is but little occasion to resort to
purchased foods Keep the grade OF
your stock up to the highest standard
possible, the greatest profits are then
assured.

compressed air, which cleans out the
interior OF the coaches very quickly
and at the same time nO1s oi-ss-iy dust
ing cushions and carpets and washing
paint with the least apparent effort.
An ingenious little piece of mechan-
ism is the motor for drilling iron;
when a hole has to be put through
piece OF iron all that is necessary is to
adjust the bit, press the button and it
does the rest. A continuance for
painting cars and locomotives is also
a very interesting article. This ap-
paratus resembles somewhat an ordi-
nary tin kettle with spout; an alto
mIZer is placed in the spout and
through this the paint is blown. One
man painting by hand is able to give
only two cars a coating in day OF
nine hours, but by the use of this pneu-
matte paint pot he can finish ten cars
in the same time.
One thing which would probably ap
peal the strongest to the average man
and woman, save many sore thumbs
with incidental loss of temper and use
Of naughty language, is the automatic
hammer, which the air drives at a
speed of 1900 blows a minute A nail
could be sunk in a piece of soft pine
very easily at this rate, but the ham
mer is used mainly for beating fues
and calking seams. The pneumatic
lifts easily handle ponderous car
wheels and axles, raising them high
in the air and placing them Oh the
lathes. All the lathes and much OF
the machinery are driven by COM
pressed air and are easily controlled
by means of a belt shifter, the belts
being thrown on and off instantly by
means OF small cylinder which oper
ates the apparatus. In the tfnsmith
shop the fires for heating the Soldering
irons are blown by fan which if al
lowed to run at it's full speed would
make $500 revolutions a minute. it
has been found advisable to use the
fan and direct the current through
large pipe in order to obtain volume;
otherwise a small sized pipe would
have sufficient force to blow the Goals
cut on the floor. The force can be
regulated and distributed to suit con-
yenience II large fire is required
a current can be spread out so that
the fire will cover the entire forge,
it can also be diminished so that the
fire will have only a small circumfer
ence of one or two inches diameter.
These are only a few of the uses to
which compressed air can be put, and,
as has been previously said, new
means of applying the force are being
found every day.-Springfeld Ra1ubli

the egg production as It has win peer
or butter there is but little question.
We placed the two pens OF fowls' IN
der exactly the same conditions as idr
as the temperature, room anu care
were concerned, but fed them wlth an
entirely different object in view. one
pen we wished for breeding purposes
and did not want them to lay until
breeding season opened, so that. we
can get more steady egg production
than if they were made to lay during
the entire winter
The other pen it was not intended
to use at all for breeders, but TO pro-
duce the greatest number OF eggs pos
sible at the time of year when they
would bring the highest price. Dur
ing the month of December, 1885, the
pen which was intended for laying ex-
pertinent contained nineteen pullets,
and the one intended for breeding pur-
poses contained sixteen pullets. Dur
ing this month the laying pen laid 60
eggs, the non-laying pen no eggs. Dur
ing the month of January the laying
pen 124 eggs, the non-laying pen
eggs. During the month of February
the laying pen 100 eggs, and the nom
laying pen II eggs. During the month
of March the laying pen 16S eggs and
the non-laying pen 43. During the
month of April the laying pen 129 and
the non-laying pen 1879.
1--WE began the last of March to get
our breeding pen, which has so far
been designated as the non-laying pen,
into good laying trim, with the re-
suits as stated From this time on the
breeders, although less in number than
the other pen, laid great many more
eggs. For the month Of May the lay
ing pen laid 142 eggs, the non-laying
Zen 3S1 eggs.
'sThe method of feeding that was
employed TO bring this about was sub
stantialiy as follows: The morning
feed for those which we're intended to
produce eggs consisted of boiled lean
meat, scraps from the table. the fat
having been removed, all the wheat
screenings they wanted to eat, mixed
with corn twice a week.
Those which were not intended for
producing eggs were fed on wheat
screenings Of poorer quality, with corn.
These gradually increased in weight
until they had the appearance of being
overfar This pen, although not put
to laying until the first of April, av-
eraged 1907 eggs to each hen during
the season. They were pure-bred Ply
mouth Rocks The other, which was
put to laying during the entire winter.
averaged 153 eggs to each hen. The
average price of the eggs was Is cents
a dozen. The average price of those
which did not begin until April l was
1lB cents a dozen, at regular market
prices. This shows a marked differ
cree in the average price, due princi-
pally to the high price of eggs during
the months of December, January,
February and the fore part of March.

work OF COMPRESSED AIR.
Wonders of the Power OF Air Are
Manifold and Amazing.

This individual who has delved into
mechanical mysteries and can ap
pEecfate the difference between q mon
Fey wrench and buzz saw knows that
compressed air is a valuable motive
power. and when properly directed can
be utilized to advantage in many diff
fersAt ways. Mechanical authorities
differ widely as to the value and econ
gIny of this agent as compared with
electric and steam motors, but there
fs no doubt that fer some purposes
possesses many advantages. This
&ac& Is generally conceded in as lar as
is use in car shops and locomotive
Rogks is concerned. The Officials at
Che Boston and Albany shops in West
Springfield have long since recognized
this truth and acted upon it. For the
fxst two years they have utilized this
power in many ingenious ways, and
are constantly finding new openings
for its application.
The number of uses to which the
power can be put would seem hardly
%re6ible TO the lay mind. The oil useG
in the shops comes in barrels and must
be transferred to the tanks This is
done by attaching pipe to the barrel,
through which the fluid is to be con-
yeyed to the tanks in a very short
time. By similar system sand is
elevated to the locomotives through
a. pipe. doing away with the necessity
Of lifting it by hand. The tubes of the
engines at the round house are also
blown and washed out by the air, and
it has been found very valuable in
Blowing up fires, as it has a steadier
and more powerful current than either
mans lungs or pair Of bellows.
BY means of valve and piston, a
crane and chain for loading and I'M
leading cars at the shops is operated,
and as a proof of the force it exerts
any weight which the chain is capable
Of sustaining can be elevated. The
power is also used for bending heavy
iron pipe in the process called offset
ting" which it readily performs by the
aid of the necessary auxiliary mechan-
icai appliances Formerly the work of
cleaning passenger cars was What is
known as mo cinch" in the current
geEnacular: it required an incalcul-
able amount of pounding. sweeping
and busting. and the atmosphere was
Ssiivered into millions of fragments as
the cleaner swung his reeds on the I'M
clean cushion and worked himself into
profuse perspiration by his efforts;
Ill this is avoided now by the use OF
