necessary if the best results are to

A BUILDING CEMENT.
"A svERYIMPoRTANT DISCOVERY
BY THOMAS a. EDISON.
he Expects TO Soc Els Cement Drive
Ont GUARDED Stone 40 Building ma
terIaI--Invention VIII Practically Do
Away with Carpenters.

u Thomas a. Edison has discovered
how to make Portland cement at an
extremely small cost, says recent
New York dispatch to the Chicago
Record Herald. This statement, at first
thought, seems to be comparatively I'M
important. Yet Edison knows the inn
mense value Of his discovery. He ex-
poets that his cement will drive out
quarried stone and brick as building
materials. He foresees as the result Of
his discovery that it will cost very
little to build houses, and that there
fore rents will be very low. He also
foresees that these same houses will be
as nearly freproof as concrete and
steel frames can make them.
With cement SO cheap a house will
be poured, not builded. And the
pouring" of the house will occupy but
a few days. The house will be habit
able when the concrete solidifes. For
several years Mr.. Edison has been
working on the recent problem and
the problem Of making cheap and prac-
tical storage batteries. Both inyen-=
lions have now been perfected. Insur-5
ance Engineering, which will be pub
lished tomorrow, will contain an inter
view of it's editor with Mr.. Edison.
The inventor says cement, combined
with steel, will be the building mate
rial of the future, and continues: MY
impression is that the time will come
when each contractor will have stand
ard forms of houses, twenty or thirty
varieties. The forms will be made of
wood, and contractor, using one Of
the standard shapes, will simply go out
and pour house. There will prob
ably be hundreds of designs. The con
tractors will put up their concrete
fixer and have their beams and forms
ready. They will pour the form for
the first story and so On. To do that
all they will require will be common
labor-a few men and one boss. That
is what think will be done eventually.
And such a house can be made very
cheaply. 1t seems to me there will
not be much use for carpenters then.
There will be cabinet makers, to be
sure. Why, even the floors and stairs
will be made of concrete" Mr. Edison
was asked if Portland cement would
be cheap enough for general USE Eyes,
I think So" he said. when the price
Of cement gets to be 81 barrel or IS
a ton, and people know they can get
it for that there will be enormous
quantities Of it used" "
The inventor said that one part Of
cement. three parts of sand and five
parts of broken stone would be the
mixture for concrete, and that broken
stone was better than brick. In reply
to a question as to the thickness OF
walls in the ordinary house he said:
THE bottom course ought to be Of
Portland cement, twelve inches up to
the first story, and eight inches above
the first story. The roofs will be of
cement Also"

Poultry, Briefs,

Great as is the poultry Industry OF
the United States, it is still in its
1nfancy-it is the day of small things.
American genius has not yet laid it's
finger upon it. It must undergo
changes similar to those taking place
In other lines Of food production. It
will be systematized and developed.
Whatever our opinions and desires
may be on the matter, the changes
are now at their incipient point, and
are discoverable in the inclination of
the packers and transportation COM
panies to take decided steps regard
1ng the poultry industry.
We have paid too little attention to
forage crops for fowls. The stations
and agricultural colleges have been
working for a. long time on forage
crops for cattle, sheep and swine, but
nothing has been done along the line
OF green provender for poultry. We
recognize that the forage for poultry
problem is a. problem by itself,
and is very properly given a place af-
other live stock. But 1t seems to us
that the time now is fully ripe to do
something along the line mentioned.
The stations have been at work for
thirteen years. In considering forage
for poultry the investigators will be
able to go considerably outside OF the
present range Of plant varieties. There
are some plants We call weeds that
appear TO have in them great posi-
bilities as useful to the poultry es-
Establishment. There il "chickweed,'' a
plant well known and popular in the
New England states as a forage plant
for hens. It grows spontaneously and
Tankly in places where it is given 4
chance What it might do under cul-
tiVation we do not yet know, nor
Will we know till experiments are
carried ON to ascertain the facts ra-
garding il. In the near future this

Dairy Notes.

In points to be bred for in the dairy
cow the teats should not be forgotten.
Other things being equal, choose the
COWS with good-sized teats. Here is
where the score card may be of serv-
ice. It unfortunately happens fire.
quently that a heavy and rich mixer
has teats that are small and of
makeup that requires an extra strong
hand to force out the milk. We have
seen good cows that could not be
MIXED by women, for the reason men
toned. Various methods have been
tried to render hard-milking COWS
easy to milk, but we know of none that
can be pronounced a success. The in
sertlng OF tubes in the orifices of the
teats is likely to set up a disturbance
In the tissues that will bring troubles
OF nature to be avoided. We can
breed in the good teat with greater
ease than We can get it in any other
way.
We have known farmers to milk the
neWly-calved COW before the calf got
at her and throw away the milk. Most
farmers understand that this is a mis-
take. This first milk is called the
~colostrum and contains a very large
proportion of proteids. In some cases
the proteids amount to Is per cent of
the whole. AS much as so per cent OF
this is sometimes albumen, while in
the case Of ordinary milk only about
one-two-hundredths or s per cent CON
sists Of albumen. This colostrum is
of almost no value other than to the
newborn animal. With the newborn
animal it acts as laxative and pre-
pares the digestive system for active
operation. This kind of product de-
creases from day to day, and the milk
soon becomes normal; for the colos-
trum has brought about a condition in
the stomach and digestive tract that
enables them to digest normal milk.

Raising Chickens,

When you set your hens, endeavor to
set as many at once as you can, says
contributor to Farmers Advocate.
1t will require but little more time
and care to look after four or six
hens than it will one, and then one
hen can brood from 20 to 30 chicks.
if all the same age.
Do not disturb the. hen during the
first 4S hours, as it takes just that time
to start the chick on it's life voyage,
Falr-sized hens could be given IL
eggs, but II is better, I find. On the
twentieth day the chick has drawn the
last nourishment from the egg and is
anxious to get out Of it's prison. It
always breaks the egg at the largest
end, because it is always less moist
and more brittle at that end. Then,
too, the head of the little chick is
turned there for air, and the beak
breaks through the rotten walls, finds
more air, and presses hard and soon
breaks away from all feeble resist
ance, and thus ends the period Of in
cubation.
We notice that the first So hours
the men sits quietly brooding her
chicks, never once Offering them food
or water. The first necessity. then
IS not food, but warmth and a good
dry place for the hen and her family.
