Century Runs and the Collins Bill.

Century Runs and the Collins Bill.
Century, double century, and triple
century runs have for some years been
feature of cycling life in and about
New York city and other New York
towns. Since the recent passage OF
the Collins bill to limit athletic con-
tests to twelve hours continuous dura-
ton certain interested individuals have
begun to speculate regarding the le-
gality OF organizing and participating
in such runs hereafter. These centu-
ries amount to more than ordinary
club runs, since medals and prizes or
some value are offered to the winners
and to all who complete the one, two
or three hundred miles within the time
limits set. They bring out sometimes
100 or 200 contestants of both sexes
and all ages, from the immature youth
to the venerable white-haired enthu-
siast
While there is no reason for con-
demning the century run per Sc, there
have been many Objectionable features
in some of these runs, and their elm
ination would be for the elevation OF
the pastime of cycling in the eyes OF
the general public If, then, the Col

these contests there will be small cause
for regret. 1t would have the effect
of shutting out those women and chill
dren and aged men who have too fire.
Quently figured in them, riding through
rain and mud and finishing after twelve
hours OF more Of exhausting exertion
in a state miserable to behold. Any
cyclist who is unable to ride 100 miles
over ordinary country roads in twelve
hours ought to be excluded from such
a contest.
There is apparently nothing in the
new law which will prevent any indi-
vidual from going for road record
over any distance during any length
OF time nor to prevent ordinary club
runs of 100 miles or more organized
solely for the pleasure of the ride.

Automatic Baggage Smasber.

When we see heavy trunks by the
| truck load brought up to the side doors
| of baggage cars and the hurried work
of transferring them begun we have
often wondered, says the Scientific
devices had not been invented to facil-
itate this transfer. Baggagemen in
| this country have attained an unenvi-
able reputation as destroyers of
trunks, but after all it may be ques-
toned If they are so much to blame,
when we consider the enormous
weight and size of some trunks of the
so-called Saratoga" order. The de-
vice which we illustrate is Of consid-
cradle general interest, and would GER
tainly do away with the evils of bag
baggage could be handled much more
rapidly by means Of this device than
by hand. The device consists of
hoist which can be thrown into action
from the door Of the baggage car. 1t
consists of a hoist operated by COM
pressed air, which is drawn from the
train line to a special reservoir, and is
handled by train baggagemen by
means Of suitable cocks on the inside
of the car. 1t has a lifting capacity of
500 pounds, and is operated with an
air pressure of 20 pounds to the square

James Valdare, of this team, is one
of the oldest trick bicyclists now be-
fore the public. He was born in Den
yer, Col, in which city he made his
first appearance on Dec. %, 1897, as
one of the Kennedy brothers. In Mo-
vember, 1889, he branched out alone.
and continued with his single act until
May, 1894, when he married Bessie
earle, a non-professional, at Wilkes
barre, Pa After practicing two weeks
Mrs. Valdare made her first appearance
on the stage with her husband, form
ing the present team, at Holyoke, Mass.
Since that date they have appeared in
all the principal vaudeville houses in
the east and we're with Tony Pastors
road show for three successive seasons.
In October, 1896, they appeared at Ham
merstein's Olympia, this city, for eight
weeks, after which they went to Lon
don and opened at the Alhambra in
December and continued at that hall
until April, 1897. They played at all
the leading halls in England and on
the continent for two years, and re-
turned to America in November, 1898,
opening at Keiths Union Square, New
York and afterward playing Weber &
Fields music hall and Proctor's
houses, also in this city. They were
to have returned to Europe in Febrql-
airy last, to open in Cologne, Germany,
March 1, and fill other engagements,
but the illness of Mrs. Valdare prevent
ed them making the trip. During the
current month they will play the Or

their lambs. The stables and alleys are
well lighted by windows. In the alley
in front of the horses, and next to the
side of the barn is a grain box large
enough to hold several bushels, which
is mouse proof.
The barn floor is roomy, and affords a
convenient place for storing wagons,
as well as some farm tools. A track for
a horse fork is fastened to the rafters
in the peak of the barn and runs the
whole length, SO the hay can be unload
ed from the floor and deposited in the
bays or in the lofts over the stables at
either end of the barn, by horse power
The sheep stable has an earth floor,
which is thickly covered with dry straw
before the sheep are put in for the win
ter. This stable is not cleaned out un-
til spring. The contents of the horse
stable are thrown out through windows,
while those of the COW stable are taken
out on a wheelbarrow, and deposited
with the horse manure, thus mixing the

Muslin Runs for Chicks

Muslin-may be made to answer many
purposes to poultrymen. 1t allows the
heat of the sun to enter as readily as
through glass, and does not radiate the
heat away as rapidly as does glass. 1t
is very cheap and may be rendered wa
terproof in many ways. Fresh bullock's
blood and freshly slaked lime make
an excellent waterproof paint for such
purpose, but pure linseed oil will prob
ably answer nearly as well. If the
muslin be drawn tightly in position it
will turn the water without prepara-
ton. For covered runs to the chicken
coops, or for shelter during storms, or
as protection against the heat during
the middle of the day, it is the cheapest
material that can be used Farm and

AIfaIfa md Corn for Hogs.

Farmers of the corn belt can get a
good pointer on pig feeding from the
alfalfa belt. / have seen a pig that
was farrowed September 20. 1898, and
raised on ration two-thirds of which
was alfalfa hay, which is as large as any
pig | can find in the corn belt farrowed
in June, July or August. Tie nup-
tials of King Corn and Queen Alfalfa
are announced to take place on my farm
at an early date. The fourth cutting
of alfalfa is the best hay for hogs in
winter. This cutting is done late in she
fall and is raked Immediately and
shocked, thus curing without very
much sun. The leaves and all are saved
in succulent condition, thus making

BREEDING HORSES.
Colts and Preparing Them
for the Market.

1t will be admitted readily by very
large per cent. of men engaged in all
lines of business that times have great
ly changed and that methods of doing
business have changed decidedly, says
Spirit of the West. New conditions
must be met. No intelligent or we'll
posted man will doubt the above, vet
we have altogether too many farmers
and breeders who have made very few
changes in the method of producing
horses as regards breeding a higher
class and also in care of the colts and
maturing them for market. Somehow
or other the same ambition to produce
first-class horse is not as strong as to
produce first-class corn, wheat or oats.
The impression prevails that the colt
will, some time or other, without much
care or attention, grow into horse and
sell at the average market price. There
was time when this was true, but that
time has gone by. From the time the
breeder contemplates breeding a colt
he must begin to carefully study all
the conditions. In the first place, he
must breed to frst-class, well-bred,
stylish, good-gaited stallion, and when
the produce arrives he must count on
giving it the best possible opportunity
to develop as quickly as possible and
be ready for market. The growing and
developing process is just as important
as the breeding, and unless both are
judiciously looked after and wisely per-
formed the result will not prove salts
factory. AS time advances other con-
ditions will follow that will have to he
met, just the same as now. Conditics.s
at the present time differ from tnose
of 20 years ago. There is only o0e way
to succeed, and that is to keep up with
the times.

Unquestionably charcoal is valuable
hygienic agent for pigs. 1t is a cor
rective and certainly prevents some dis
eases arising from disordered digestive
functions. Wood ashes acts similarly,
or at least ministers to similar wants.
Both charcoal and ashes are freely used
by our best swine growers. There is no
need to fix quantities. The best way is
TO keep both substances within reach of
the pigs and allow them to consult their
own tastes and needs. If you use com.
mercial charcoal throw half a sack at
a time in clean, dry corner and re-
place when used up. All the wood ashes
from the house fire can be used in the
same wayA-Prairie Farmar.

TO BRING BACK HEROES BODIES
Victims of Philippine War Will BE
ExhuIicI.

Washington, Oct. 31.--In pursuance
of the policy of bringing the soldier
dead from the distant isles of the sea,
the war department has sent ID. IL.
Rhodes to Manilu to exliume the
bodies of the boys in blue who yielded
up their lives in the Philippines. Mr..
Rhodes is connected with the quarter
masters department and had charge
of the work of bringing bodieds from
Cuba last spring. The first of the Phil
ippinc dead will be sent back by the
returning transports which are now
carrying troops to the islands and will
probably reach this country about the
first of the year.
For every body for which applica-
ton has been filed at the wal depart
ment by relatives or friends trans
portation will be furnished to the
homes of the applicants or to such
points as they may designate. The un-
claimed bodies will be buried in n ma
tional cemetery on the Pacific coast or
else brought to Arlington for burial.
Great care has been taken in mark
ing the graves of American soldiers in
the Philippines, and it is thonghttha
there will be but few unknown dead,
and not nearly so large a percentage as
i'll the bodies returned from Cuba.
The bodies of American soldiers left
in Cuba and Puerto Rico last spring
and the bodies of those who have died
in those islands since will be brought
back to this country in December. The
returning ships bearing the dead from
the Philippines will stop at Hawaii to
gather up the few bodies of American
soldiers inferred there.
