Vienna, Feb. 22,--Collisions at sea, from
the awful catastrophe of II. NJ. s. Vic
toria downward, might have been averted
and valuable lives saved, says a Croatian
engineer named Czvet6ovitch, If the collid-
ing steamers had been fitted with his
patent marine brake.
The idea of the thing is simplicity itself
The brake consists of large curved
plate of steel attached to the stern of the
steamer, which can be lowered at will into
the water. The screw of steamship, 1t
should be explained, when working ahead
causes a stream of water of terrific force
to flow back an the direction from which
the ship has come, and by lowering the
plate OF steel into this stream the power is
obtained necessary to check the ships way
and bring 1t to d standstill independently
of the engines.
Since the stream caused by the screw is
of greater force when the ship is steam
ing fast the brake would work equally
well whether the speed were twenty knots
or ten knots.
The Clotilde, a steamer of 1000 tons,
when steaming at a speed of ten knots,
was brought to an absolute standstiI
within thirty seconds during which she
Travelled so slowly that only twenty feet
were traversed after the brake was ap-
piled. This result was obtained in spite
of the fact that the engines were working
full speed ahead the whole time

get a secondary story on the man
chiefly involved in the frauds. and who

facts sufficient to justify a three column

WHY WOMEN EXCEL.
1t Is because In the Management OF
Farm Diaries They Are More
Patient Than Men.

P. B. Crosby speaks !, great truth
when he. says: Not long ago, while
visiting friend, the cows were driven
up to water just at dinner time. The
asked who had told the boy to
drive the COWS up, and the mistress
said that she had. The cows, she said,
had to stay in the field all day without
any water, and the milk was falling off
in consequence, and she had told the
boy to bring them up every day to water
at dinner time. instantly thought Of
several innovations on this farm in
spired by the mistress of it, all of which
were to the betterment of the dairy,
and it occurred to me that there would
be very many better diaries IN this
country if the better half of the farm
were to do mere managing. A man usu-
ally has not the patience to attend to all
the little details of dairying, and it is
just the same little details that make
for success. But woman has the
requisite patience and when she has a
mind to manage the dairy it is far bet
ter if she does it. know of one man
who taught his wife ali she knows
about butter making, and she now
makes a better grade of butter than he
did, because she has the patience to at
tend to all the small items that he in his
lordly manner skipped.-Dakota Field

ure r But Question Of Very Il

When is a dairy clean? The safest
answer to this question lies in describe
ing when dairy is dirty, and danger
sonsly dirty, too, says thef New York
Farmer. When woodwork in the dairy
gives off smutty, musty, fusty acid,
rank and spoiled buttery smell it is
dirty. When tin vessels, such as pals,
cans, dippers, cups and skimmers, after
being "thoroughlylwashed," give OFF q
sourish SMELL or show dark lines of
r'atter in the foldsand seams Of the tin.
they are dirty, and the dirt of just such
sort, and in just such places, as to
en- courage the bacteria in the air to
drop down upon it, to crawl into it, to
feed upon it and to multiply in it until
they swarm in it and are ready to
launch themselves into the milk put
into those'vessels. When the windows,
walls, floors and fixtures in the dairy
are unpleasant to the smell when the
roora is warmed up there is dirt pres
ent, enough dirt to have an effect upon
the flavor and other qualities of the
milk and of the butter made from it.
When vessel from which milk is re:
moved shows layer of black sediment
in the bottom, smelling with unp]eas-
ant suggestiveness of the barnyard
there is dirt, plain, straight, unmis-
taxable dirt there, dirt that is unpleas.

in any degree can really be called

FEMININE DAIRY WISDOM.

Much Of the profit during the winter
depends upon the comfortable quar-
tiers given the COWS.
Be sure to let the sunshine in the
stable-it is sure death to many dis.
ease germs, particularly germs of tu-
berculosis.
If possible, arrange to have water in
the stable, so COWS can drink when
ever they wish. It pays, know it,
for I have tried both ways.
Regular habits, fixed places and
times for milking and regular feeding
with an occasional change of diet, will
do a great deal to keep your product
constant and even.
Whey from a cheese factory has GER
tainly some value for raising stock,
especially pigs. It contains a small
percentage Of sugar, and, when acid,
is very sharp and will corrode cans in
which it may be carried.
In every dairy barn there should be u
small room where the mixers can
wash their hands before milking, and
with pail and sponge at hand the I'D
ders of the cows can be washed II
they have become soiled. Without per.
feet cleanliness there can be no good
butter.-Dorothy Tucker, in Farm

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In transplanting cut off all broken or

Fumes from an oil stove are not good
for house plants. ,
If the lawn needs manuring, now is
the best time to give it.
In mulching, use material that is free
as possible from weed seeds;
In growing fruit for market it is an
advantage to have varieties that will

In keeping apples, all ventilation is
injurious which causes any consider
able alteration in the temperature.
A good tree we'll taken up and we'll
planted will do equally well whether
transplanted in the spring or in the fall.
One decided advantage in fall plant
ing is that the tree is in place ready to
grow as soon as the season opens in the
spring. =

GUARD FOR YOUNG TREES.

fine wire, weave five to eight OF the
pieces together, at the top and bottom,
as shown in Fig. 1, the same as wire and
lath fence is woven, and set them
around the trees, as in Fig. 2, giving
the ends of the. wires twist about
each other to hold them firmly in posi-
ton. This makes a very effective and
cheap guard, 1s inches high, and one
that will last four or five years. If the
laths are dipped in crude petroleum,
they will last ten years, and prevent
pigs and sheep, as well as rabbits and
mice, from injuring the trees.-G. Fred
