Another Link in the Cape to Cairo
Railroad Nearly Completed.
Center of Africa Being Pierced by
Steel Rond-Rails Laid Almost
to Victoria Falls on the
Zambesi River.

Another link in what many peo-
pie have called the visionary Cape TO
Cairo railroad is about completed.
Within the next three months, at the
present rate of track laying, the road
from Bulawayo in Rhodesia, South
Africa, to the Victoria falls on the
Zambesi river, will have been finished.
1t will then be possible to travel by
rail from Cape Town northward over
LOO miles. The line to Bulawayo
was completed in 1897, at which time
it had taken SO years to build the road
to that point. Since that time over
$50 more miles of road have been con-
structed, and at that rate of progress
the prophecy of Henry M. Stanley that
by 1925 the line between Cape Town
and Cairo would be open for traffic
will be realized, that is if the long
stretches of navigable lakes and rivers
along the projected line be taken ad-
vantage of.
The section of country through
which the road is now building is said
to be perhaps the most Interesting and
richest portion of the entire route.
The gold district of Mafungabusi and
Lomagundi is traversed and the Sen
give coal area is skirted by the road.
1t is said that within a very short
time the coal mines will be opened up
and superior fuel provided for the
engines, which are now burning wood.
The Victoria falls, which will be the
terminus of the line for the present at
least, is one of the grandest natural
wonders in the world. 1t has been
called the Niagara of Rhodesia. A
sheet of water over 1000 yards wide
plunges down rocky abyss 800 feet
to the river below. Livingstone was
probably the first white man who ever
looked upon this magnificent bit of
scenery. There are also in this part
of Rhodesia touched by the railroad
many interesting and ancient ruins,
the origin of which has puzzled the
archaeologists for years. These will
be made more accessible, and discov-
cries may be made which will reveal

them and stand with the hind feet in
the manure, thus making it hard to
keep them clean. But if the trench
is not less than eight or ten inches deep
the cow will not step into it, except by
accident, will never stand in it and con-
seQuently keep much cleaner. If the
trench is made only wide enough to fit
the scoop shovel used for cleaning, it
will be found better than if made wider.
Whatever the material of floor or
style of fastener or stall used plenty Of
bedding should be used where it is OBJ
tainable; It adds greatly to the COM
sort of the COWS and helps to keep them
clean. The plan shown gives arrange
ment of stalls, feeding alley and box
stalls with driveway for cleaning out
manure. The doors of box stalls are
shown, the one opening into the other,
but if preferred the back one may have
the doIr inside. The water pipes are
shown by the dotted line with drinking
basins in each two stalls, and supply
tank at A or B as convenient. This
supply tank is fed from large tank
or from spring as desired. The s1lo Is
shown outside the stable, but so placed
that the door opens into the feeding
alley and still leaves window for
lighting. If the basement is ten feet
and the posts about feet, the silo may
be made 80 feet deep by excavating a
little for the bottom, or by running the
roof upon the roof of stable few feet,
thus making it necessary to have silo but
ten feet square. If the walls of this
stable are made of stones, they need not
be over 10 inches thick and in this case
the driveway would be only nine instead
of IL feet. The box stalls would be six
by nine feet, which would still give plen-
ty of room.-J. S. Woodward, in Rural

HINTS FROM ENGLAND.
They Relate to the Proper and RAJ
tional Method of Feeding Cows
for Milk Production.

On this subject an English dairyman
writes: 1t should never be forgotten,
if possible, to get good supply of cab
bage from August to Christmas. Cows
like cabbage, and milk better on it
than on anything else known at that
season of the year. This should be fol-
lowed on with mangels pulped and
mixed with corn chaff and cavins, with
= mixture of hay and oat straw cut up;
followed with good proportion of
green hay or lucerne, not heated, but
green sweet hay. The owner may then
safely rely upon getting some good
milk, and plenty of it. When mangels
fail, or If given in liberal quantities. a
small supply of cotton-cake will an
swer a good purpose. much fear
many heifers are considered as failing
as mixers too early; this should not
be. It Is often proved that heifers
not milking with their first calf milk
well when more matured in the second
years use. The cows should be kept
warm in the winter in well-sheltered
buildings, letting them out for few
hours only, but not~too long in frosty
weather. Lucerne, If proved by using
it green or made into nice hay, will
produce more milk than meadow hay.
But in the making it should be cut
early, when half in blossom. or much
more is lost in value than in waiting
and getting a bulky crop. In paying
more attention to the growing of for
age crops we stand much better
chance of keeping the mill going. I
am confident of this, that cows must
be fed well and literally on regular
succession Of green foods II the owner
wishes to show good yield of milk
and make good return in its financial
result.

Completed Portions.
facts in regard to ancient civilization
which once existed in the heart of
Africa.
The Cape to Cairo line as projected
beyond Victoria falls will extend to
Lake Tanganyika, distance of about
500 miles. This lake is 400 miles in
length. From the northern end of the
lake to Albert Nyanza 300 miles more
of road will have to be built, when 200
miles of navigable water will again
be reached, and which will take one
to Duff, on the Nile. Here 125 miles
of rapids are encountered, around
which the road would have to be built.
Then 1000 miles of navigable river
bring one to Khartoum, from which
point a railroad is now in operation
to Carlo.
It is probable that the sections of
the road between the stretches Of
navigable water will be constructed
first, thus practically realizing the
dream of Rhodes of a continuous route
from Cape Town to Cairo, although it
was the purpose of the South African
Colossus to have an ,unbroken rail
route extending through the entire
length of Africa. This gigantic scheme
of Rhodes has fascinated his country
men and won popular favor. William
Stead, the journalist, has enthusiast
probabilities of the project, and even
went so far as to predict that the en-
tire line would be completed by 1909.
But it has had its foes as well, and
many men whose judgments and opin-
ions are worthy of much weight have
pronounced the dream of Rhodes as
impracticable and impossible. -
But, despite the severe fire of criti-
cism, the public, has been interested.
It has faith in the ultimate realization
of the scheme. Money has been easily
raised for the pushing of the road
northward, and the last 60 miles of the
line to the Zambesi are being rapidly
laid through country which Henry
M. Stanley declared seemed to have
been created for railway making"
Thus, link by link, the road may be
completed and the dream of the man
who gave an empire to England come
to be an accomplished fact.

standard for the cow that possesses no
value aside from her beef qualifica-
lions. A few years ago some of our
foremost Jersey breeders thought they
were setting themselves a very high
mark when they aspired to bring the
average of their herds up to that point.
We fear very large percentage of
the Jerseys of the country would fail
to come up to that standard, and their
beef value would be small recompense
for milking them two or three years at
a loss while determining what they
were going to do. We are afraid Prof.
Wheaton has overlooked one very i'm
portant point in determining the value
of a cow for strictly dairy purposes.
Gross returns are one thing, but net
return is sometimes quite a different
proposition, and the latter is what de-
termines finally the value of the ami
NAL. For example, in the recent report
of the production and cost of feed for
the Wisconsin dairy herd we find one
cow standing fourteenth as regards
value of total products, but thirtieth as
regards net returns or returns above
cost of feed consumed. Another cow
of the same breed with $15.71 less total
product to her credit returned larger
net profit by $7.39. The first mentioned
COW stood second in cost of food con-
sumed, the feed bill being 1887 more
than for the largest butter producer
in the herd, and six dollars more than
for the COW yielding the greatest value
of total products. In figuring above
total products the calf is not consid-
ered.-Prairie Farmer.
