Slaughter on American Railroads.

slaughter on AMERICAN 3diltodoS'
The British Parliament would not
stand for a day the slaughter that
goes On upon the railroads of Ameri-
ca said John Burns. the famous Ia
Dor member of Parliament. in re-
cent London speech. His words are
emphasized by the fact that last sat.
urday thirty-two people were killed
on our railroads by accidents that
might have been prevented,
The slaughter on our own rail-
roads is bad enough" said Burns.
"but it is child's play to what goes
on in America. The casualty list Of
the American railways equals that Of
a first class war.
81 have been accused of calling in.
dustrial America a slaughter house.
and if you ask me for proof l point
you to the death roll of the brave
men who lose their lives in the
boarding up of millions for the rail-
road magnates."
Last year there were $500 people
killed by the railroads-nearly ten a
day. The law says that the railroads
shall make the work of their employees
reasonably safe" At what point
does the work OF railroad man be-
come unreasonably .~-1eious?-New

Missing No Opportunity.

A large, good natured man was
greatly attracted to little girl in the
dining room of an uptown hotel the
other day. She was about two and a
half years old, was beginning to run
about and talk a good deal, and also
appeared to be at, home in the hotel.
After smiling at him across the din
ing room and making friends with him
at a distance he accosted her in the
hall. He asked her the regulation
questions put by strangers . children,
all of which she answered as promptly
as her baby fashion would permit.
Finally the man shook hands with
her and said: "You are nice little
girl. Shall bring You box of candy
tomorrow"
The little one looked puzzled mo-
ment, then spoke up brightly:
'No; 90 better doe det it now!" /
She got the candy that evening.

Folks Into Matrimony.
Once upon time, before everybody
had leaCaed to attend strictly to his
own AFFAIRS, man and maid were in
Lore with each other, but, though this
WAS patent to all their friends. neither
8f them knew It, However. their
friends said unanimously: I'VE will
demonstrate 1t to them and write q
triumphant @. E. D. upon their we'd
ding morn"
Therefore, the maid never was in
vited anywhere that she did not And
the man invited also; nor was the man
invited anywhere but that he found
the maid likewise guest. Further
more, the man always was detailed to
take the maid in to dinner, and they
could not so much as glance at each
other without everybody else having
an errand out of the room, and society
became vast mandatory of oppor-
tunities for them to rcTel in each
others company alone and undis-
turbed. Now, before this had time to
become a habit with them, both the
man and the maid penetrated the dark
plot
Whereupon the maid tossed her
head, saying: "They needn't think |
have only one chance" and immedi-
ately betrothed herself to an impeculi-
Gus fortune hunter whose only rec
ommendation was his title.
And thereupon the man hastily mar
ried himself to a grass widow from
Chicago, whose reputation, they do
say, was responsible for the big fire.
Consequently all their friends nod
ded their heads sagely, and whispered
to each other, Didn't tell you so?"-

RAISING DAIRY COWS.

If dairymen would depend upon rais-
ing their dairy animals themselves. the
result would be much more satisfac'
tory. as rule; than to buy from stock
men or spectators in haphazard
way any .spickups" that are offered.
In order to begin right calves should
be selected whose grandams on both
sides had a good record at the pail or
churn: then there will be reasonable
hope that the calf will evolve into a
profitable cow.
If they are in the dairy business for
milk. then the attention is drawn to.
ward the animal which will turn her
food and energies into furnishing an
abundance or milk; but if the aim be
cream or butter we do not care wheth-
er the amount of milk be. large or
small, so it yields a proper amount OF
butter fat.
But If the dairyman deems the rear
ing of calves only "side ISSUE" and
as q result gives only Indifferent treat
ment, he might just as well buy ms
own cows; for stunted calf is pitt
able object, and will never fulfill its
destiny, no matter what its after treat
ment may be.
Extravaganza in the feeding of the
calf is pardonable = parsimoniousness,
never. Extravagant feeding-it would
be so called by many-means fresh
milk from the cow or new milk for nj
least three weeks after the birth of the
calf; and the calf that is not worth
what new milk it can consume during
the first few weeks Of its life is not
worth the rearing. Let me emphasize
that the first weeks Of the calf's exis.
tence determines its value later on.--

FATTENING CHICKENS IN COOPS.
Although the cramming machine in
the hands Of an expert will probably
give the best results in finished product,
small coops for fattening chickens will
be found the most profitable by most
chicken raisers. These coops are used
very largely in England and have been
adopted successfully by the Canadian
Government. The accompanying IL.
lustration shows a coop divided into
three parts, which will hold dozen
chickens. These coops are built OF
lathe and one inch square pieces for
the framework. Each part is two feet
long, sixteen inches wide and twenty
inches high, which experiments have
shown to be the best size.
The coops are placed out of doors
In the shade, either under trees or in
IN open shed. but in severe weather
should be placed in closed building.
4 small y-shaped trough is used to
hold the feed, and wateYis supplied in
a cup, which may be. fastened to the
Stats. Young chickens from four to
six months of age are commonly used
for fattening. About four are placed
in coop, where they are fed three.
