OF steel and timbers which are used to
maintain the surface.
The most expensive mile of the subway
extends from Thdrty-second street under
the street railway tunnel to Forty-second
street; thence around a curve to Broad
way, and around another curve to Long
Acre square.
The construction of these two curves
alone Is most serious undertaking, be-
cause 1t is necessary to pass under build
1ngS IN order to get space for the turns.
AT both Of these corners, however, the
Rapid Transit commission has purchased
property which the excavations might
have injured. and it is understood that a
big hotel will be located over the sta
tons at each Of these turns.
Within the limits of this mile have
occurred the most disastrous accidents
of the subway. The dynamite explosion
came first, wfecking two hotels and sew
eral houses; then two blocks below fol-
lowed the cave-in of three houses. The
Rapid Transit commission has recently
purchased this property In order to save
itself costly damage suits It Is said
that up to date $5,OO0,000 have been spent
by the commission In making similar pur-
chases of damaged property.
Naturally enough in such an upheava1
as this, there has been, and is STILL much
litigation to be feared. Herein came an
other development, the official photog-
rapher. It is the duty Of this gentleman
to make Photographic records at stated
intervals over the entire line. 1t was

where 1t would be necessary to shift sew
eral blocks OF street car line in order to
carry on blasting successfully under 1t.
When one stops to think of the engineer
ing problems which were encountered, It
is all the more surprising that the work
has gone on so successfully thus far. At
the present time nearly 81, 600 900 a month
are being expended.
It is not at all unlikely that another
line Of subway will be tunneled under the
east side of Manhattan. The Brooklyn
division is already assured, as is the
Pennsylvania tunnel from Jersey City to
Long Island. Before long New York may
be known justly as the city Of tunnels.

When the COWS are to be kept in the
stable through the winter each stall
should have it's drinking trough kept
filled with water where the COWS can
reach it at any time. says farmers
bulletin No. Isl, issued by the agricul-
tural department at Washington. Such
an arrangement is not expensive, as
iron trOughs large enough for the use
of two COWS in adjoining stalls can be
purchased very cheaply. BY placing
them on a level in connection with a
supply pipe and using a single float
valve to regulate the flow. there will
be no waste and each trough will re-
ceive a frequent supply of fresh water
There are objections to this individual
system of watering, however, and
some good uairymen prefer the over
flow trough so placed that cows can go
to it in stormy weather without ex-
posure.
When the COWS are to spend the day
out of doors the feed lot should be well
provided with troughS, so that each
animal can drink whenever she wishes
without danger of the weaker being
worried and driven away by the stron-
ger.
Gentle Treatment of Cows.
Every owner of 4 COW should see
that gentle and quiet means are used
in drawing the milk from her. Many
good COWS are spoiled by rough milk
ers. When it can be done. the same
person should milk the same COW every
time Gentle treatment will surely pay,
and the matter Of profit should always
be kept in rhe foreground. We like
to see the COW reach around and lick
the mixer; then one can be sure that
harmony does prevail.
Canadian Butter For Australia.
While last year Australia exported
$4,000 tons of butter. this year the
drought has so cut off the feeding crop
that there has lately been a carload of
Canadian butter sent there in a steam
er from Vancouver. The price paid
for it was above that paid in Canadian
markets. 1t goes in cold storage and
if it reaches there in good condition
further orders are expected.

little ones. Instead Of bustling about
and firing them out, she moves slowly
and rests often, though sometimes
leading them a long way from home.
If she fails to return at night, search
usually reveals her with a neighboring
flock.
And this mixing of focks, by the
way, is more productive OF neighbOr-
hood quarrels than any other feature
of farm life Where both parties are
honest it is often managed by marking
with leg bands Of stout cloth, each
family alhcring to its own material.
Iiut some individuals will insist upon
having their number, irrespective Of
the toll paid to hawk and mink, and
when dealing with these-well, it is
easy for cloth leg bands to get slipped
off The best preventive is liberal feed
ng morning and evening, to induce a
love for home.
Again, a flock Of forty or fifty stray
turkeys becomes a real menace to the
farmer. While they are an effective
check to the grasshopper plague, they
are also able to tear down and CON
sumo a considerable quantity Of grain
in short time. Cabbage is favoritc
food. and a garden under their juris-
dlctiOn is soon demolished.
In autumn. when the young gObblers
have nearly reached the size of adults,
they practice a curious custom of mu-
tual annoyance. One will persistently
follow another, it's bill thrust nearly Or
quite in the face of the latter, while it
utters a most tantaliZing "Keow
keOw" This usually terminates in a
sharp tussle with beaks repeated many
times during the day. While the members
of the flock are usually so nearly mated
that no serious results ensue, the per-
sistency with which the process is re-
peated from day to day becomes quite
as annoying as monotOnous to the
owner.
The mature gobbler is truly a hand

AS we feast upon the tender flesh it
is pleasant to remember that in many
instances the turkey money is the
chief source of income to the hard
working farmers wife. and after it
has paid the taxes and supplied the
necessary winter clothing there may
still be bonus for a new carpet or
