SWISS ELECTRIC, ROADS.
Are Operated by Cheap Power Ds
rived from Alpine Streams
Instead of Coal.

Owing to the increase in the price of
coal during the last few years, Mr.. Thor
man, prominent Swiss engineer, wished
to find out whether it would not be an
advantage to use electrical energy, fur
nlshed by hydraulic plants, over the
"hole OF the railroad system of Switzer-
ldnd, says a consular report. After in
Vestgating the subject he published a
report which has awakened considerable
interest and will no doubt bring about
practical results in this direction. He
nnds that the substitution of electricity
1or steam on the railroads is quite prac-
ucable and has many ADVANTAGES al
tnough 1t will not bring about any con-
siderable reduction in the cost of Cperat-
ing roads.
The five main railroads in Switzerland
require over 10000 horsepower daily.
IN order to organize complete electric
al service it will be necessary to obtain
ABOUT $4,000 horsepower in the shape of
the alternating current of high tension
not counting the reserve supply, which
IS indispensable. Not taking into ac-
count the considerable number of falls
which are not utilized in the country,
there exist already 21 large hydraulic
plant which can give total of SO, 600
horsepower. These include the plant of
S1el, near Linsiedl, which has a capacity
OF 10000 horsepower, and the Laufen-
burg plant, on the Rhine, giving also TO-
oOO horsepower, and five others, giving
each 5000 horsepower. He enumerates
II plants which will be more than suf-
f1clent to supply the energy for the Swiss
railways.
The cost of changing over the system
would, of course, be considerable. 1t is
to be noted. however, that the adoption
of the electrical system would have the
great advantage of doing away with the
present consumption of coal, which is
now imported, and that the use of
hydraulic energy would be of great
benefit in developing several branches
Of manufacturing.
The publication of Mr.. Thorman's s re-
port aroused considerable attention in
different quarters and already one OF
the railroad companies has applied tc
the government for an authorization tc
use electric trains on a trial stretch OF
road IL miles long.

Queer Building Material.

A house composed principally of
glass bottles stands IN the town OF To-
nopah, New, and was erected by a
miner who used the bottles on account
of the scarcity Of other material. The
bottles were placed in rows with the
bottom ends outward and are held in
place by mud instead of plaster. The
corners OF the building are composed
ct wooden beams, also covered with
mud. The walls are about foot in
thickness and are so well constructed
that the house is actually more COM
Portable in winter than many of the
other dwellings in Tonopah which are
built of other material. 1t is 20 feet
in length, Is feet in width and contains
two rooms. 1t was built entirely by
the owner.

Too Close Tree PLANTING.

We should make 80 to 35 feet the
minimum distance apart in planting,
and we will always get better results
from so trees to an acre than from IS
to 100. Trees planted too close will
not do we'll when they get to bearing
age. The ~branches interlace and shut
out the sunlight that should get in
about them, and if you could see the
roots, they are interlaced far worse
than the branches. Then. it is impos-
s.ble to spray such an orchard proper

CARE OF DAIRY ANIMALS.

The milking stable should be as free
from dust as possible at the time of
milking. Feed dry folders after the
milk is removed from the stable.
Brush the udder and flanks with a
stiff brush to remove the dirt and loose
hairs. Sponge off the udder thoroughly
with clean water. leaving it moist,
but not dripping wet
Ensilage, turnips, ETC.. should only
be fed Immediately after milking. so
as to allow time for the elimination o!
the volatile products of these feeds
from the system of the animal.
Use only clean tin milk pails Reject
all rusty or patched tinware in the
milk business. Unless seams and joints
are extra we'll soldered, it will pay to
have an extra coating over all the
seams, and the joints well flushed

First-Class Farm Butter.

Better butler can be made on the
farm than at the creamery, if the same
care is given. The advantages possess
ed by the farmer who makes dairy but
ter are that he can feed his COWS on
the best foods, use more care, and work
with cleaner surroundings. A large
proportion Of creamery butter is not
uniform, as the milk comes from many
sources; but dairy butter is injured in

German Calf Vaccination.

Every calf in Germany will be vac
cinated with specially prepared human
tuberculosis bacilli upon the attain
ment of its third month if the propos-
ais of Prof. Behring, the great bacter-
iologist and opponent of Trof. koch's
tuberculosis theories, are adopted by
the reichstag. Prof. Behring earnestly
pleaded the adoption Of an imperial
law to this end in conference with the
ministry of agriculture. The professor
also proposes to add a gram of forma.
lin to every ten-quart can of nl.lk. He
maintains that fresh milk contains ele-
ments fatal to disease bacteria, but
that it quickly loses them Formalin
he adds, would conserve these elements
indefinitely. Prof, 3ehring has inter.
ested Berlin's milkmen in his plans.

BE WASN'T TO BLAME.
Certainly Not! He Was as Innocent
of Wrong-Doing as a Little
Baby.

An omnibus was going along crowd
ed thoroughfare, with an immense rail-
way van travelling by it's side, but Just
little in its rear. AS they passed a
certain street out shot dogcart at full
speed, driven by young gentleman
and eye-glass, and with his coachman
sitting beside him with folded arms,
and that contemptucus indifference in
his face with which the professional ever
regards the performances of the anna
teur. The driver of the omnibus pulled
up short and the dog cart dashed across
it, only to meet the full force of the van,
which went through it. as though it had
been boxful of matches, says London
Tit-Pits.
The youthful parsonage on top of it,
with his coachman, was, of course,
thrown out, but otherwise not seriously
damaged.
Then came the inevitable policeman,
and the question whose fault it was
The omnibus driver who had seen it
all, was appealed to by all parties.
WAS it my fault?" inquired the young
gentleman. -
"Your fault! Well, certainly not"
growled the philosopher.
Then whose fault was it," continued
the youth, greatly pleased, and naturally
expecting the van man to be denounced:
"Wef. it was your eoachman's.'
But how could that be9 He was do
ing nothing; how could it be his fault? ?"
Why. just because he was doin' moth
