An extraordinary race was wit
messed at Hastings, Neb., the other
day. It was between a passenger
train and q barn; and the barn came
mighty near winning. The train vas
at the depot when "twister" Of
wind was seen to be approaching.
TWAS headed directly for tho train.
On the way it picked up a barn
bodily and brought it along. The
engineer seeing the danger to the
train, pulled open tho throttle and
put on full steam. The barn was
rapidly gaining, however when tho
wind sweryed to one side and the
train escaped.

Int Matched Chicks.

My experience with late hatched
chickens has been very satisfactory.
When hatched during the latter part Of
July and first of August and given free
range where they have access to plenty
of shade and fresh water, they grow
remarkably fast and can be sold to
market al a good profit before snow
flies, or if given good winter quarters
they make the best kind of spring and
summer layers. have used them for
April and May breeding and find them
equal to early ones.
These late chicks seem to do as well
one year as another here in north Jer-
sey.

grow late chicks as early ones II given
