L. & N. Continue to Make Improve
ments.

The Grant tunnel, which is located
about eleven miles from Cincinnati on
the L. & N. is to be enlarged. A
contract will be let for the work in
the near future. When the tunnel
was bored the freight cars were not as
large as the ones in use at present.
The object is to make it large enough
to permit the largest freight and
furniture cars in use to pass through
with safety and ease. This tunnel is
1,500 feet long, and is through solid
rock. 1t is to be heightened and
widened, though the new width will
not permit the laying of double
track. The work, including lining it
throughout with concrete, will cost
between $1OO, 900 and $780, ,OOO. The
same thing will have to be done with
the big tunnel this side of Pleasant
Valley, on the Maysville division.
This tunnel is 1900 feet long, and is
in bad shape. 1t would cost an i'm
mense sum to make a cut of it, but
something will have to be done with

OF mushrooms 21h
TO 3k inches across and 1k inches thick,
seven to eight in cluster. They are
certainly handsome as well as tempting.
Inc bed was made the first week of
August and by September 10 it showed
mushrooms and by the 22d l gathered
2h quarts with prospect of bearing till
April or May.
In preparing a mushroom bed It is
necessary to select good horse manure,
. fresh and specially clean droppings il
possible, free of coarse straw, says Farm
and Home. Place the manure outdoors in
pile, let it stand day, then turn over
thoroughly SO as to cause fermentation
to set in. When cooled down, renew
operation for couple of days and it is
ready for use. When the manure is
ready, spread about four inches deep in
the bottom of box. Pat it down quite
hard, then spread over 11k inches good
loan and pat it down evenly Then add
on top six inches of your compost and
loan mixed together, and be sure to
press it down good, and for last layer
about three inches of the manure.
Let bed stand for couple of days so
that it will generate an even heat
through the loan. Now it is ready for
planting. Secure good English mush-
room spawn, which comes in COM
pressed bricks. Cut the spawn in two
inch squares with a Ratchet and be care
ful to save all small particles. Make
openings in the bed about two inches
deep and insert the squares of spawn
eight inches apart. Spread on the fine
particles Of spawn. Cover up carefully
and press down as before and your bed
is ready.
The best place for a bed is in a dark.
warm cellar. Mushrooms do not want
sun or light, but must have an even
temperature of 70 to so degrees. If the
bed gets rather dry, take warm water
and soak it we'll and repeat in ten or
II days. 1t will require FIVE to six weeks
before one can tell about the success of
his bed. At that period if o K you will
notice little bits of buttons of brown
ish white color, which are your mush-
rooms. The day after they will be
large and we'll developed, when YOU
may pick them. Do not cut them. but
twist gently and they will drop in your
hands.

axles, use T the same diameter as the
pipe. Plug ends of runners and screw
the T on. Place round iron bar through
the T the same size as the axles, and run
babbitt around the iron bar. Take the
iron out as soon as the babbitt has set.
The object of the babbitt is to make the
runners solid and to keep the iron from

the axles, cut piece of pipe and slip on
remaining part of axles. Have it long

HINT FOR BEEKEEPERS.
How to Secure Full Service of tbs
Honey Makers Without Weak )
ening the Colonies.

Apiarist Edwin Bevins claims -
have discovered two ways in which
laying worker colonies can be disposed
OF so as to get all the service out of
the bees that they can render and yet
keep the numbers of the colonies I'D
to what it was before.
One way is to place the live contain
ing the laying workers over q strong
colony with a fertile queen, placing q
newspaper with a small hole in it be-
tween the two hives, says the New
York Farmer. The bees will unite
peaceably, and when considerable
worker-brood appears in the upper
hive the hive can be placed on an
other stand and the bees will rear a
queen from the brood, if the old queen
can be introduced about three days
after the removal of the hive.
The other plan involves the taking
of a couple of frames of Matching
brood from hive and placing them
in another hive over a strong colony.
with a frame having a wire cloth
nailed to both sides of it between the;
two hives
Thus fertile queen and her escort
are released On two combs, and in &
few days there will be a nucleus strong
enough to take care of the queen. This
hive is then set down by the side of
the hive holding the laying workers.
Every two or three days a frame
with the bees must be transferred
from the laying worker hive to the nu-
cleus. BY the time all but two of
the frames are placed in the new hive
the queen is at work there and every-
thing is harmonious.
AS regards the two frames taken to
form the nucleus. they can be returned
to the places from which they were
taken, or these places can be filled by
the frames remaining unused in the

the furs sometimes in addition to the

not like to bother with carrying q
muff, the stores are showing gloves
designed to take the place of the more
or less cumbersome NUT. They cost a
goodly sum, do these warm gloves, but
they are very durable and really make
the good substitutes they are adver-
tised to. The most luxurious. and at
the same time most convenient, are
those of simplest cut, the ones that do
not have to be fastened or coaxed on.
They come in black. tan and gray un-

are extremely pleasant to the touch,

A good substitute for the too-warm
fur hat is that made of long-haired
beaver. and the effect Is even better
than in fur. Recently we had brought
to our attention q large black beaver
to be worn with q sealskin coat. The
hat was very large and dropping. on
the conventional picture order, but its
lines were so simple and graceful, the
one plume that constituted the trim
ming, SO sweeping and handsome,
there was no sugg :stion about 1t of
affected picturesQueness. The furs
and beavers must match the costumes,
and we notice nowadays. the people
who already possess handsome furs
are buying their cloths and materials
and hats with reference to the color
OF their fur property. A brown beaver
coat looks exceedingly well with q Co.'S

brown gloves, a waist of perhaps a
lighter shade than the skirt, and a hat
that shows in its makeup all the

WILL USE cocoANUT BUTTER
Compound for the Table to Be Man
ufactured in Several European
Countries.

A new butter is now being made
from the milk OF thu cocoanut This
milk, when subjected to a tempera-
ture OF over % C. runs into a yellow
oil, which is imported in great quanti-
ties from India and Africa. The better
qualities of it are obtained from Cey-
lon, Cochin-Ch and Australia. The
nut produces 60 per cent. of oil. and
one acre Of land planted with cocoa
nut trees would produce over 400
pounds of oil. This has hitherto been
used for fats for soap, or for ma
chinery oil, and the better qualities
employed in the manufacture of tex
tile goods, says Worlds Work.
In France this oil is now subjected
to special treatment, and converted
into butter.
DR.. Heuner, a German chemist, pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils
and transform them into what he
terms vegetable butter"
The cocoanut butter, like tha. made
from cows milk, contains seven per
cent. Of soluble acid. It will keep
from Is to 20 days without showing
any sign of acid reaction, and it con-
tains from Is to 30 times less water
than ordinary butter, while its slow
ness IN oxidizing makes it specially
suitable for pastry and cakes, az they
will not get stale so quickly when
made with It as with other butter.
Another advantage claimed for CO.
coanut butter Is that it seems to be an
antiseptic medium, while milk Is most
favorablesto the culture, of microbes.
At the Central Hospital of Vienna.
and in various hospitals in Switzer-
land, experiments have been made
with this new butter, and the results
have been pronounced satisfactory.
