railroad Employees Have a Run OF Hard
Luck.
Grand Island, Neb., Nov. 15.--A
remarkable wave Of accidents swept
over the railroad yards of this city
and vicinity Friday and Last night.
Yesterday morning ut Wood River,
while Archie Campbell, brakeman
on freight No. 81, was making
coupling, a wheel of the car ran on
his foot, the car stopping while he
was thus pinned down. The foot
was badly crushed, though 1T is pos
sible that tie member can be saved
Campbell in falling struck his head
on the ties aud was Unconscious I'M
I'll last night. He is reported as be-
Ing in much improved condition
this morning.
At about o'clock last evening,
while the engine of another east
bound freight was taking water at
the same place, Fireman Basko
mounted the front Of the engine to
light the headlight. In some man
ner he slipped and fell, striking his
head on the Ties and receiving a
slight conclusion Of the brain. AS
was the case with Mr., Campbell, he
was Immediately brought to the st.
Francis hospital in this city. He
has recovered consciousness and no
serious results are feared.
At 3 O'Clock this morning an en-
CINE of the 1900 class, just as it was
pulling The pasSen er train from the
east into the local yards, ran off a
split switch, kept the ties for about
a distance Of twenty-five yards and
ploughed into the soil and is half

wis wrenched from the trucks. While
the fly wheels Of one side of the en-.
CINE are buried those of the other
side are up in the air.
In the shop yards, at o'clock this
morning, an old man named Boyer
was picking up coal. He was struck
by an engine. An employe Of the
road happened to see it and gave the
alarm to the engineer. The engine
had gone over the man. The locAu-
tive WIS moving slowly at the time
and when it stopped the engineer
and fireman began to look under it
for the presumably dead man. He
fooled them and crawled out at the
other side, between the engine and
the tender, badly scratched and
bleeding, but otherwise uninjured.
The engine ran over him for its en-
tire length.

Years ago. when the poultry indus
try was in its infancy. the most seri-
GUS problem that confronted the breed
er was a way TO hatch the chickens
without lessening the supply of eggs.
The introduction of incubators has
solved the problem. and since there is
no longer any doubt as to their sue
cess. the poultryman can proceed with
Matching with a reasonable certainty
of a fixed number of eggs daily. In
cubators are unquestionably a success.
and are being made in all sizes and
styles to suit all conditions of the
business.
The farmer who wants to raise 300
or 400 chickens can now purchase a
smallsize incubator. and thus avoid
the worry of looking after setting
hens. "A child can operate one" is
the way some manufacturers speak of
their machines. but they require at
tention like any other piece OF machin-
cry; though they are simple and sue
cessful. and are destined to occupy q

A feature requiring more attention
on the part Of buttermakers is that
of cleanliness in their creameries. AS
this feature is so essential to making
butter of the best flavor. il would
seem that il would not be necessary
&c even mention it. but the fact that
il is one of the things which the but
termaker most commonly neglects. AS
very few OF the buttermakers through
cut the country are graduates OF our
dairy schools. there are not man. of
them who understand the influences
that affect the flavor of butter. They
have learned buttermaking in a me
chanical way and go through the pre-
cess according to rule. but II anything
should occur TO interfere with the
working OF these general rules they
find themselves at sea. There is moth
ing more difficult TO understand than
the production of flavor in butter. but
IN most of our dairy schools the prin-
oiries of producing il are taught in
such way as to place it almost COM
nietely Under the control of the but
termaker. The buttermaker finds il
hard. unless he has studied his work
at n school where principles are taught
to adjust himself 10 conditions and
consequently some of the bad butter
which is produced is traceable to his
lack of information as to the best
method of treatment. We would nat
urally expect. from the fact that few
of our buttermakers are graduates
of dairy schools, that considerable diff
ficulty is experienced in testing the
milk. Every well equipped creamery
az this time has a Babcock milk test,
ard its operation is one of the impor-
tant features of the factory. II but
termaker is incompetent in this direc'
ton he is sure TO have lots of trouble.
as il is quite common for farmers to
become skeptical about their test even
il il is accurate We have had in
Guiries come TO us along this line ask
ing where an Official test should be
obtained. as the patron aid not think
that his factory was giving him fair
test. Ii may be said here that the
dairy commissioner makes such tests
and the creamery departments of the
various experiment stations are also
willing To make tests of this kline.
This is work. however. which should
lie acceptanly performed by the butter
maker. and the fact that there is SO
mitch trouble over it simply indicates
that more of our buttermakers should
be graduates of dairy schools.-Wis-

Winter Washing Of Fruit Trees.


The winter season offers the fruit

Vengeance on the insect enemies which
play such incalculable havoc with the
fruit trees in the summer months. The
insects are practically at his mercy in
the dead season, for they cannot fee
from tho deadly poison he may with
safety apply for their destruction, and
X the owners of orchards care to ex-
crcise their powers OF quelling infes-
tation at the proper time and in the
proper way then can largely diminish
harmful insect attacks. The board of
agriculture has prepared and is circu-
lsting free of charge a leafiet dealing
with this subject which is deserving
of thoughtful attention.
As is well known the insects hiber-
and the course of treatment proposed
is the washing of the trees with caus-
tic alkali wash. the use of which has
been found effectual in removing the
rough decaying bark under which the
insects shelter. and at the same time
in destroying the eggs of noxious in
sects. The directions given for the
preparation OF the wash are: First dis
solve one pound of commercial caustic
soda In water; then one pound OF
crude potash in water. When both
have been dissolved mix the two well

Feeding animals only TO keep them
over winter is not profitable. Every
animal should be so fed as to make d
gain. II is loss of time to feed in
winter simply to hold an animal over
until it can be turned on the pas
ture. There is no reason why the
farmer should sacrifice the winter
months Warm quarters and proper
food should make animals gain and
pay in winter.
