Marvellous Railroad MANAGEMENT.

The passenger trans in the United
States are more luxurious than those
abroad.
The Cars are heavier. the locomotives
are more powerful, the roadbeds on the
principal lines are in better condition
and for Ordinary trains the time ls fa--
ter. For long. continuous runs there
are no quicker trains abroad than in
this country.
The American freight cars carry from
three TO ten times the load of the foreign
goods car. American freight sched-
ules are more regularly kept and rates
much lower.
These reflections are suggested and
stimulated in part by the late annual
report of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway. Thatgreat system dur
ing the last fiscal year spent above Fix
million dollars in betterments. 1t had
an Increase of three aud one-quarter mil

How to Follow a Trail.


To hide a trail from the eyes of an Or
binary woodsman needs only good
rain or a few days of sun and wind.
Very few Indians or trappers can fol-
low a trail if the weather has had one
weeks time in which to obliterate it.
There are some men, however, whose
five senses are so carefully coached
that they offer more resources than
does the abnormally trained nose Of the
bloodhound To such woOdsmen trail
once made will stand for weeks or even
months in any sort of weather.
In giving an idea how to go about
following a trail it will be necessary to
wade through few unlikely conditions
in order to explain what ordinarily hap
pens. OF course, there are thousand
and one ways in which a man may
leave traces of himself, as, for instance,
by dropping his handkerchief, or, If he
has been wounded, by his blood, or, if
he has been smoking, by his cigar
ashes.
These conditions often are used in
stories, but when it comes to actual
trail following one is quite likely to find
that the man to be traced has neglect
ed to lose his handkerchief, is not
wounded, and never smokes. When we
throw aside all, or at least most, of the
romantic torn dress or dropped slipper

He Heartily Concurred.

A certain American writer Of interna-
tional reputation who died recently
was, like so many other geniuses,
strangely incapable of managing his
own domestic affairs. The small boy
of the family was his fathers pet, but
the terror of the rest Of the household.
Now it happened that under this same
roof with this small boy lived two
maiden aunts, sisters Of his mother.
That they were thorns in his flesh he
made no pretense of concealing. On
one occasion when he had overstepped
a bit farther than usual the bounds of
propriety in addressing his relatives,
his Aunt Julia appeared before his ia
ther to state the case. Her nephew
had called her fool, while his Aunt
Martha he had characterized as a -
fool. The young offender was sum-
moned to the paternal presence. Fixing
him with his eye, the father de-
manded:

Coops for Young Chicks.

COops for Young Ch1ckss
When the early-hatched chicks are
two or three months old it Is good
plan to 20 over the flock and take out
such pullets as are promising and wnlcn
will form the laying flock of the win
ter. Such chicks must be separated from
the main flock, so that they may be
given the neeed attention, and must
be provided with shelter at night, even
though they have the range during the
day. Coops like that shown In the Illus
tration are inexpensive, as they are
formed from large dry goods boxes.
Saw the back of box SO that a slant
ing roof may be nailed on and be COW
cred with tarred paper to make 1t wa
terproof.
The door is hinged to the box and
the illustration shows how it Is hooked
up during the day when the chicks are
out The three auger holes of good size
just above the door provide ventilation,
although at one side is an opening to
permit fresh air In the coop while the

it is desirable to confine the birds for
any portion Of the day, they will be
quite comfortable if a water can Is

side by loop of wire to screw, SO
that it cannot be tipped over. The wa

the outside, through the wire netting
The small food trough, shown at Figure
8, is so simple anyone can make 1T. Two
end pieces are secured by bottom

Remedy for Gapes.


Gapes are usually due to filth, the eat
ing of the residuum Of food previously
given and feeding in damp places. 1t
is believed that they are propagated in
earthworms, but facts have been dis
covered substantiating this claim. The
best remedy for gapes, if the chicks will
eat, is to add teaspoonful of spirits of
turpentine to a mixture of one pint of
corn meal and half pint of middlings,
says an exchange. Thoroughly incor-
porate the turpentine with the dry ma
terial, then scald as much Of the ma
terial as may be required and feed to-
the chicks on a clean board. Put ten
drops of carbolic acid in every pint Of
drinking water AMI change the water
frequently every day There is no sure
remedy for gapes, and-inserting feather
tips into the windpipe to draw out the
cape worms can be done only by an ex-
perienced person. There are suggested
remedies, but they are sometimes as fa-
tai to the chicks as the gapes.

jecting at right angles across the up

arms the wind will catch and turn the
shaft by blowing against the fans on
the sides indicated by arrows. AS they

A will be seen one Of the wings catch
ing the breeze and is held in place by
a rope attached to the arm in the rear
of it; as it passes around to B it's edge
is towards the wind. Passing little
further the wind strikes it on the ep-
posite side, and, having nothing to re-
sist, it raises out of the way until it
comes around to the point D, when it
falls in position to again catch the wind.
The same principle is found in Figures
2 and 8. These wings are so construct
ed as to become pendulous and unre-
strained when returning against the
wind, to be caught rigid when the wind
acts upon them so as to obtain power"

Some favor this and some choose that,
But when the goddess gay l WOO,
OF all the sports she offers me,
l choose the game of peek-a-boo.
The game is old-that III admit

But peek-a-boo, unto my mind.

No sport can cause the pure delight
And thrill the young heart through and

As can the ancient, merry game
We all have played, called peek-aboo.
How trifling seem concerns of life
The grave events that weight the mind;
How light the burdens that are ours,
How weak the chains of care that Lind,
When happy rings a baby voice,
When pleasure lights sweet eyes of
blue.
Indeed, of all Pleasures gifts,
None match the game of peek-a-boo.
I'd rather have within my heart
The mem'ry Of baby face
With those sweet lines of merriment
That silly game can thereon trace,
Than dip deep in the rarest sport
OF carnival or giddy ball,
OF gala-day or festival,
For peek-a-boo outstrips them all.
Sweet Pleasure chooses many ways
To tempt the soul to languishment.

But give to me the music rare
The happy laughter, sweet-voiced coo
That thrills my heart whene'er l play

Cheap Fodder.

One of the cheapest foods that can
be grown for stock, and which can be
cut and used at almost any stage of
growth, may be secured by sowing
corn in rows (not using too much seed)
and cultivating 1t one way. Should
the pasture grass run short the young
corn may be cut down daily, in sutfi-
cient quantity as required, and fed as
green and succulent food, which will
be highly relished by stock.

Soil for Small Fruits.


1t is almost impossible to do the work
of preparing the soil for small fruits
too thoroughly, and this is particularly
the case with strawberry plants. Much
of this preparatory work may be done
in the late summer and fall as soon as
the crop now occupying the soil is re-
moved. Fertilizers should be applied,
the soil should be plowed and thorough
ly narrowed and covered with crop of
some kind that may be plowed under In
the early spring.
After such crop is plowed under the
soil should be narrowed several times to
put it in the best possible condition be-
fore setting the plants. If one has a
strip of ground that can be used for the
purpose at this time it will be found a
good plan to set out number Of va
rieties Of strawberry plants now, using
the pot-grown plants that are offered
by plantsmen at this season. These
plants will fruit next summer, and
while they are quite inexpensive there
is no cheaper way Of having test bed.
