CANAL BOAT FOR PASSENGER AND FREIGHT SERVICE

except Holland. The Grand canal in the
north, and some others, were made for
navigation; but the plains of central
and south China are covered, when
ever possible, with small shallow cam
ais for irrigation. The water is pumped
from these by treadmill pumps upon
the rice fields, which must be kept COW
cred with water all the time. But these
canals are also used for transporta-
ton, little fiat-bottomed rowboats be-
ing seen everywhere upon them, car
rying freight and passengers.
That which impresses the foreigner
most in all this is how utterly obliv-
ious the native methods are to time.
Two miles an hour is a fair average
rate upon these canals. and ~ miles is
medium slow; three miles an hour is
swift dispatch, with strong, fair wind
and light cargo. When we are in
hurry we walk. Launches of light
draught are sure to take the place of
these wretched RATS for passenger traf-
fic in the near future. These weII-wa-
tered plains are all very densely popu-
lated, and swift passenger service
would be we'll patronized.

difference in Dairy Herds.

Breed and feed is the cause of great
difference in the profits of a herd.
Not long ago I visited a section of
Canada where dairying is carried on
throughout the whole year. The
average output at a certain cream
cry was $50 pounds butter per cow
per year, while the yield from one
of the best herds averaged $50 pounds
per COW. The variations of values of
the different herds of Al patrons who
furnished milk to the creamery was
as follows: Nine received from SIS
to $50 per cow for 10 months, IS from
$50 to S25, seven from $25 to $50, five
from $50 to $35, one received S41 and
another S43.50.-Dairy superintendent

share of the plumber, and the pirates
are not molested. Occasionally the pro-
vincial government makes a show of
putting a stop to it, by sending an Off
cial, with soldiers, to the chief cen
ter of piracy. But due notice is served
when he is coming, and by the time he
arrives the leaders are conspicuous for
their absence. The less guilty or in
nocent people of the neighborhoOd are
caught and beaten, or squeezed" the
official AID his train go back enriched,
and piracy is soon worse than ever. This
makes transportation by sea very haz-
ardous.
All these impediments to traffic
would be disposed of at once, by the
opening of these ports to steamers;
and the advantages following would
be very great. The pirates would then
have 10 quit their robbery. They could
not overhaul steamboat.
River navigation in China is carried
on with great industry, if not skill.
Not only do they use the larger streams,
but the small ones, full of shallow rap
ids over which the boat must be al
most carried by sheer muscle, are used
for freight transportation and passen-
gers. These boats for shallow streams
are made with round bottoms and ends,
20 to so feet long, and are pushed by
poles, carried and dragged up the
streams, and float down.
1t is life of miserable brute labor
that these poor boatmen live. A harder
lot can scarcely be imagined. Yet these
little streams must be used until roads
are built for carts and trains. AS long as
the only competition is the shoulders of
men, even this laborious use of naviga-
ton is the cheapest to be had.
Canals are more numerous in China
than in any other country in the world,

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fine cut fresh bone is one of the best
foods for laying hens and young chick
ems Tainted bone is vile.
During the winter months, when
grain is fed in considerable quantities.
grit is absolutely necessary to the
fowls.
Unfertile eggs are preferred for the
kitchen, because they are supposed to
retain their freshness longer than fer
tile ones.
Leaves and dry earth make an exc
cellent combination on the floor of the
poultry house. Dry earth absorbs and
disinfects, while leaves make scratch
ing material for the fowls.
A New York commission firm advises
that all kinds of poultry be killed by
cutting through the roof of the mouth
to the brain with sharp-pointed knife.
The idea is to bleed the fowl freely.
Only choice, well-seIected dressed
poultry should be shipped to the city
markets if good prices are expected.
Unassorted lots invariably bring poor
returns. Snip the culls separately, ii
they are to go.-Ohio Poultry Journal.

Alabama and one from kentucky; one
Thomas from North Carolina and an
other from Iowa; three Aliens, from
Maine. Kentucky and Mississippi; two
Baileys, from Texas and Kansas; two
Clarks, from Missouri and New Hamp-

and another from New York; a Gardi-
ner from New Jersey and from Michi-
gan; Green from Pennsylvania and
another from Massachusetts,. There are
three Henrys-Patrick Henry, from
Mississippi; Robert L., from Texas, and
E. Stevens from Connecticut. The
Jones family has two representatives.
from Virginia and Washington. There
is a Little and a Littlefield, a Meyers
from Louisiana and a Meters from Indi-

lions have been made in favor OF small
steam launches run under a special
charter granted by provincial govern
ors, who, for this unexampled liberal
ity, would pocket large share of the
profits. All this will be changed by
the opening of the inland waters to
steamers.
Then, as in Japan, within a genera
ton the clumsy old junks will disap-
pear, and be replaced by steamers of all
sizes and sailboats of modern pat
tern. Along the coast and on the
large rivers junks are used in great
numbers. They are built of thick pine
Planks, with high stem.
Their tackle is of the rudest, involv-
ing great waste of strength in friction;
thus requiring double the number of
sailors. The sails are generally made
of bamboo and cane leaves, though
canvas is now occasionally seen. The
ordinary sea-going junk is of about
100 to 200 tonnage; though they make
them as large as 1000 tons. 1t is hard
1y necessary to add that these crude
vessels are about equal in sailing ca

HOW to House Big Colonies.

A writer in the Chicago Stockman
says he builds bee houses ten feet long,
six feet wide and six feet high to accom-
modate II colonies, at acost of about one
dollar per colony. He sets hives two
feet apart, from center to center, and
makes entrances in the sides to CORE
spond with the entrances to the hives.
He prefers to place the hives on the
usual bottom boards, which are nailed
to cIeats at each end, so that the hives
are some four inches from the floor.

GEESE ON THE FARM.
They Have No More Business Near the
House Than Have Swine or
Other Live Stock

Not nearly so many geese are seen
to-day on farms as were seen several
years ago; the breeding of this noisy
fowl has greatly decreased and there
are dozens only now where perhaps
hundreds used TO be. Somehow or other
an almost universal disapprovaI of the
goose has been brought about among
farmers wives, who usually manage
that branch of the business, and thew
are not nearly so enthusiastic in OUT
stripping their neighbors in the num-
Der of goslngs. There are several rea-
sons for the diminution of geese and
their decreased breeding on the farms.

the barn or considerable distance
from the house, in a special pasture ar
ranged for them, having water, forage
and house for winter occupancy, we
believe it will pay to raise them, though
there is more money in chickens be-
cause there is a better demand for the
meat and the greatest consideration is
the egg yield.
The chicken has three distinct values;
for eggs, flesh and feathers, while the
goose possesses only the last two, feath-
ers being perhaps its most profitable
products. Geese, however, have no more
business near the house and in the yard
than have swine or cows.-Farmers'

seemed to us that we were going very
slow, and there was a good deal of talk
in our car to the effect that the Johnny
would play some trick on US. But when
we arrived at the summit and started
down the speed rapidly increased to a
mile a minute. We made the seven

the engineer had lost control of the To-

I stood at one side of our box car and
Capt. George Hunt at the other. Tray
cling bags, knapsacks, packing cases
were huled about the car as we turned
curves and jolted over the rough track,
and men were thrown about as if they
were on a rocking vessel. We looked
into each others eyes, but said nothing.

trains went flying past the station, and
we realized then that something was

halt at Tantallon, Capt. Hunt and my
self ran ahead to the engine to inves-

had been riding on the locomotive with
the engineer and the engineer himself

cit was then explained that the en-
gineer had lost control of the 1ocOmo-
tive soon after we started from the sum-
NIT and that we had come down that
recently repaired road, the frozen mud

the highest speed ever made by an army
train. Then we were all frightened,

FARMERS DOING WELL.
In the Years of Plenty the Wise Ones
VIII Make Provisions for the
Uncertain Future.

Prices are going up all over the cOun-
try. Agricultural products are in good
demand at home and abroad, at better
prices generally than for the average
of the past ten years. This means
more money for farmers to pay their
debts, and to supply their household
and farm needs. If they pay off their
mortgages, and other Indebtedness,
capitalists will save more money for
which they will be seeking investments.
If they buy new tools, new clothing or
furniture, carriages or pianos, that
means more business and larger profits
for manufacturers. This again should
bring more steady employment and bet
ter wages for the workingman. Per-
haps the wages may advance more slow
ly than will suit some of them, for
not every manufacturer or employer
feels confident that this improvement
in the business outlook is to be a per-
manent one, but we think that we may
now look for ten or twenty years of
higher prices, higher wages and album
dant prosperity, until people get rcek-
less and begin to feel that they are safe
in expanding more than their income
or spending it in advance. Then may
come panic such as we knew after the
close of the civil war, when people be-
gan to see the need Of retrenchment.
We have had many such periods since
this nation was esta blished, and the
improvident ones have enjoyed them
selves in the seasons prosperity and
suffered when the reaction came. It is
of little use to offer advice to those who
cannot see the moral for themselves,
or will not heed the lesson it teaches.
The butterflies will bask in the sun
shine and perish in the frost in the
future as in the past, while the provi-
dent bee will store honey in the sum-
mer to provide for the wants of the
coming cold weather.-American Guilt

wheat Consumed Each Year.

Few people realize how closely the
wheat crop is consumed each year. Ac-
cording to the statistician of the United
States department of agriculture, the
worlds total production of wheat in
1897 was 1926, 745,O GOO bushels-not
enough, by millions of bushels, to sup
ply the worlds food demand and fur
nish seed for crops of another year.
Consequently, countries of the earth
where the crop was light were visited
by want and high prices, in India the
need even touching the point of famine.

The statesmen of the powers are
planning the opening of China to the
commerce of the world. The news
papers are discussing it. The Chi
nese people are expecting it, and the
mandarins dreading it. But not many
people in America have any adequate
idea of what such an opening will in
Volve, either to the outside world or to
the middle kingdom itself. How much
China is shut off from communication
with the rest of the world can only be
realized by knowing her means and
methods of transportation. The ma
tive methods, which are the only kind
chat have been permitted in the in
terror, beyond the treaty ports and
a few exceptions in north China, are
about as crude and laborious as hui
man stupidity could devise. The
cheapest is, of course, transportation
by water.
But hitherto all this has been done in
boats or junks of the rudest pattern,
propelled by rowing, towing or sailing.
