FIRST TRAMWAY ENGINE.
Relieved to Have Been Invented by
Richard Trevithick.

Who was the great genius. for he
must have been such. first to conceive
and apply steam locomotion? Accord
ing to a drawing of one of the earliest
steam locomotives, or. as it was desig-
mated at that time, high pressure tram
engine" invented by Richard Ire
vithick, which drawing was made in
accordance with the testimony of Rees
Jones, who aided in the fitting, and
William Richards, its driver, it is prov
ed to the satisfaction of historians that
to Trevithick Is due the credit for the
application of Steam to locomotion. In
this engine the exhausted steam was
discharged into the chimney stack and
the wheels were combined together.
Underneath the drawing it is stated
that the engine was designated on the
original plan, dated 1903, as Tire
vithick's high pressure tram engine"
and was constructed partly in Corn
wall and partly at Pen-y-Darren works
by Richard Trevithick engineer for
Samuel Homfray, proprietor of the
pen-y-Darren Iron works.

The Young Mixer.
Dairymen, as a general thing, object
to buying hefers with their first calves
because the young heifer is an untried
proposition. She may turn out well,
and she may not. So most people
would rather pay a little more for
COW with record behind her than to
save on the price and run their chances.
But every theory has two sides, con-
tinues Kimball's Dairy Farmer. The
young heifer with her first calf Is a
good investment in some ways If she
is from a good breed and a good milk
ing strain, don't hesitate about buying
her. She is undeveloped and can be
nodded into the COW you want if you
handle her right. In the first place,
there is the chance of holding her up
to long milking period. This can be
done the first year better than at any
other time. Then, by gentle handling,
you can prevent her from acquiring
bad habits. Proper feed during the
first year is of vital Importance. In
many ways the helfer's value as a
mixer in after years is determined by
the care and the handling she gets the
first year.

We were only milking three COWS,
but here is our experience in feeding
mixed hay. clover and timothy. once
each day and alfalfa once (at night,
giving also to each COW two gallons
twelve pounds) of corn and cob meal
per day. says B. Quinn in Ohio Farmer.
The alfalfa was all gone about the
middle of January, and in few days
afterward the cows had decreased 80
per cent in the milk flow, actual meas
urement. Then as soon as we could
get bran we fed the same hay twice
each day and the same amount of corn
and cob meal. twelve pounds. along
with three gallons (six pounds) of bran.
and it did not bring the flow of milk
back to where it was when feeding al
falfa once per day.
This looks very much as though al
falfa was great milk food for cows.
If one feed of alfalfa per day would
make more milk than three gallons of
bran and if from one feed of alfalfa
each day there is a gain of 30 per cent
III milk. would there not he splendid re-
suits from the same feed twice each
day? 1t might be best to mention here
that we got that flow Of milk back on
a feed of pure clover hay, corn and cob
meal and ground oats. This latter has
been so fed that it makes a ratio Of
1.6.s.
