The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of 1925, 900 for the
installation of the most modern and eff
Gent railway signal that has yet been put
on the market. 1t is known as the Hall
Electric Semaphore Normal Clear System,
and is operated by stationary storage bat
teries. The line between Bergen, N. j.,
and Middletown, a distance Of 6S miles,
is to be equipped at once. For the first 80
miles the signals viii be put two-thirds Of
a mile apart; for the rest Of the distance,
about one and one-third miles apart. 1t
will require five power plants for charging
the batteries, which win be located at
Rutherford Junction, Ridgewood Junction,
Suffern, Oxford and Middietown. The line
to be protected has two and four tracks at
different places and is the most eongested
part of the Erie system. Hitherto a man
ual block, which is tower with signals
operated by towerman, has been used as
a block protection, but it has been deemed
best to install an automatic system for
further protection and to accelerate the
movement of trains. The new system win
be extended over the entire line in the flu
ture

PAYING A DEBT.

Two cattlemen overtaken by bad
weather twenty-five miles from their
camp came in sight of sod shack,
and asked for food and shelter for the
night. The story Of their welcome Is
given in the outlook by one of the cat
tlemen.
l shall never forget the little wom-
an who met me at the door of that
sod shack. l told her our situation.
She was very gracious in granting us
food and shelter for the night.
We sat there in the room. | could
not think of word to say. and Bible
back was worse Off than l was. He
could not do anything but look at the
pictures on the wall Then man old
enough to be her grandfather put in
an appearance. He was friendly and
laxative.
He was retired stage-driver, and
was looking after the stage horses.
After supper went out to the corral
him that the woman was a widow,
that her husband had died before she
came there, and that she was poor and
deserving.
told Bibleback all this after we
had gone to bed, and we found that
our resources amounted to only four
dollars, which she was more than well
come to. SO the next morning when l
asked her what we owed her she re-
piled so graciously, "Why. gentlemen,
couldn't think Of taking advantage
Of your necessity to charge you for Il
favor that I'm only too happy to
grant"
"Oh," said I. take this. anyhow"
and laid the silver on the table.
We had started for the door when
she stopped us.
"One moment, gentlemen. I can't
think of accepting this. Be kind
enough to grant my request"
We mumbled out some thanks, babe
her good day. and started for the cor
raj feeling like two sheep-thieves.
We were accustomed to hardship
and neglect, but here was genuine
kindness.
When we were near camp, Bibleback
turned in his saddle and asked
when is Christmas:"
I'm about five weeks" answered
'Do you know where that big
Wyoming stray ranges?" he next
asked.
"Of course l do"
well" says he, lets kill him and
give that little widow every ounce Of
the meat. It'll be good one on her.
won't it? Well fool her a plenty"
Three days before Christmas we
drove up the Wyoming stray and kill
ed him. We hung the beef up over
night to harden in the frost. and next
morning we reached the widows place
with 800 pounds of us fine beef as you
ever saw.
We wished her a merry Christmas
and departed.
When we got out of sight of the
house, old Ribleback Hunt was the
happiest mortal l ever saw. and that
Christmas was merry one. for our
debt was paid.

When the Cow ChOkes.

A neighbor turned his cows into his
orchard with fallen apples. One COW
became badly choked with an apple.
We took a piece of rubber hose three
feet long, rather stiff; we creased this
with lard, held the cows head up
and showed the hose down her throat,
pushing the apple down in the stom-
ach. A piece Of rubber about ~
inches in diameter is the proper size.
Cow all right. Another plan l have
tried with good success. Soon as the
COW is choked lose no time in getting
her into the stanchion, draw the head
up with a rope and fasten. Melt one
pint lard. put in a long-necked bottle:
while warm pour down throat. She
will struggle to throw lard cut: the
throat being we'll creased will cause
the apple or potato to slip out easily.

Mission Of Music.

Music boxes and blue light are two
of the latest things In the line Of
anaesthetics. The music boxes do NOT
reduce pain or render the patients In

certain Ill effects that often accompany
the use Of anaesthetics. 1t Is Il well

for dispOsing Of lice OH cattle or hogs:
Take one-half pound Of soft soap.
or common soap If the soft cannot be
obtained, put this in one gallon Of wa
ter and boil slowly until the soap Is
dissolved; then remove from the stove
and add two gallons Of coal oil, then
heat until the soapy water and oil are
thoroughly mixed, stirring it gently
in the meanwhile.
When you wish to apply 1t, take
what Is necessary from this stock and
add from eight to ten times its bulk
of water and apply with a cloth or
brush. Make n second application
when the nits hatch out, usually about
ten days after, to destroy this second
crop.

Gown for the Dairy.

Before the dairyman can be success
full in either branch he must draw the
line between the breeds that excel in
yield Of milk and those that give milk
rich in cream. The first thing the
scientific dairyman does is to select
the breed for the purpose he may have
in view. The next will be to feed in
such a manner as to secure the larg-
est yield of either milk or butter in
proportion to the cost Of food, and the

No Fish Without EOrests.

The preservation of our streams Is

the preservation Of our forests Is con-

Of many fish, especially brook trout.

To Illustrate this rela tionship be-
tween forests and water, make cou-
pie of trOughs, line one with clay to
represent the country denuded of trees,
the opposite trough lined with sods Of
grass or moss to represent the forest
clad mountain side, set them on an ill.,
cline and connect their upper ends with
a rough reservoir Pour pail of
water into this reservoir and there will
be wild rush Of water down the
clay-lined trough. while the moss and
grassllned one will drip for hours.

convert this machine into forest-clad
mountain and one denuded Of timber.
The cloudburst represented by the
contents Of the bucket suddenly pour

The Barnyard.

There Is nothing SO repulsive as a
wet and filthy barnyard, in which the
animals are compelled to walk knee
deep in filth. Such condition is not
necessary. and can be prevented IL
the barnyard is kept well supplied
with absorbent material. Throwing
whole cOrnstalks into the barnyard Is
the old method. but cornstalks do not
absorb until they are trampled to
pieces, and In the meantime much of
the liquids are carried off by the
rains. 1t will pay to shred the corn
stalks or cut the straw for bedding
while leaves and dry earth may also
be used in the barnyard with advant

In stacking hay out Of doors some
loss Is unavoidable, but an EFFORT
should be made to reduce this loss TO
the minimum. One of the greatest
mistakes Is making the stack too
small. The smaller the stack Is. the
larger the proportion OF hay is spoil

sides. In making n large stack.
stacker of some kind is a necessity,
