TONS Of COAL.
Coal Passer Has Miraculous
Escape From Death in
Nippon Maru's Bunkers
NOT EVEN SCRATCHED

That B. Kikuchi, coal passer on the
japanese liner Nippon Maru. Is alive
and able to take curry and rice and
shovel black diamonds, is about as
wonderful as Japan itself. Judged by
the ordinary limitations of-human en-
durance. Kikuchi should have been
mangled into shapeless pulp in the
Nippon's stoke hole. He should have
been suffocated. He should have been
scared to death. He was not even
scratched
It happened during the run from
Yokohama to Honolulu, on the voyage
which ended with the Nippon's arrival
here late Monday afternoon. The liner
was rolling heavily in the Pacific swell.
Kikuchi was In the Nippon's stoke hole,
trimming coal. Attacking the fuel
where 1t was heaped high, Kikuchi un-
dermined the pile. AS he stooped to
shovel out little more of the heap s
foundation the liner rolled and the
coal collapsed, Kikuchf underneath.
For an hour and a half as many of
his shipmates as could crowd into the
bunker worked like little brown furies

hope of finding Kikuchi alive, but they
had scruples about feeding their ship
mate with the coal to the liners fur
naces and wanted to recover as much
of him as possible.
AT the end of ninety minutes a hand
was uncovered. 1t was not long be-

covered signs of life, but it was some
minutes before Kikuchi responded to
the medico's efforts. He came to all of
a sudden.
He sat bolt upright. He sneezed- He
stood up. He bowed to the doctor five
times, said Thank you, please" and
returned to the stoke hole. He was not
allowed to work for several hours. but

reveal where he had received either
scratch or bruise, and he has suffered

Prospects of q dustless roadbeC
"ithout the use of oil or cut stone is
pleasing officers of the Illinois Cen
trail road. Though gravel is con
coded to make the easiest riding
roadbed, its dust feature has made il
a nuisance. General Manager Rawn
OF the Illinois Central, and his as
sistant, MI. Fritch, have made a find
in the way Of dustless gravel. Re
Gently the company began taking
gravel out of the Mississippi River at
the Memphis bars. The gravel, being
washed for centuries, is free from
soil, the only thing or it is sand and
all but twenty-five per cent. OF this
is washed off after it IS taken from
the river. The first of this new bal
last is being used on the 1aZoo &
Valley line. 1t is clear and clean as
a crystal, and must ever be dust
less. The Illinois Central will ex'
tend the new-found ballast owe al
lines of the system, giving it an easy
riding, and at the same time a dust
less roadbed.-Buffalo Courier.

Making Silage.

II any Of you have had doubts
about the use of ensilage in Florida,
you can have them put to rest by
reading the report Of a Florida far
mer as published in the Rural New
Yorker:
I have been feeding silage for the
past eighteen years, and have had
no trouble in preserving it. I am
nov using two underground silos,
with a combined capacit. of 165
tons. l have tried several different
crops for filling, such as cow peas,
velvet beans, and kafir-corn. They
all kept we'll and made a fair quality
of silage, but l think that III point
Of economy and quality of feed,
there Is nothing to compare with
fodder corn. The corn should be
cut when the grain begins to glaze,
CIR as u Southern farmers will I'M
derstand best, when the fodder is
ready to pull, which should be about
the last of July Or the first of Au-
gust. However, it is seldom that we
can wait quite this late, as the corn
begins to fire, and unless there is
sufficient rain to keep the lower
leaves green there will be more loss
than gain by waiting. Sometimes in
a very dry season we have to cut
before the corn quite reaches the
roasting ear stage. There is but one
special ~precaution necessary to keep
silage in this or any other climate,
and that is to pack thoroughly, and
if your silo be square, special care
must be taken in packing the sides,
ends and corners
have never fed silage later than
July Is, though | see no reason Thy
it should not keep all summer. How
ever, we do not need silage here
after June l, as there are so many
green crops that can be fed direct
from the field. l do not consider
that there is any room for COMPARE
son between silage and dry fodde
for this locality, as owing to our I'M
certain climate it is impractical 10

An Old Painters Ideas.

The Autumn season is coming
more and more to be recognized as a
most suitable time for house-paint-
Ing.
There is no frost deep in the wood
to make trouble for even the best job
Of painting, and the general season.
ing of the Summer has put the wood
irto good condition in every way.
The weather, moreover, Is more like
ly to be settled for the necessary
length Of time to allow all the coats
to thoroughly dry-a very important
precaution.
An old and successful painter said
to the writer the other day:
House owner would get more
for their money If they would allow
their painters to take more time, es-
pecially between coats. Instead Of
allowing barely time for the surface
to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,'
several days (weeks would not be
too much) should be allowed so that
the coat might set through and
through. 1t is inconvenient, Of
course, but, If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, it would add
two or three years to the life of the
paint.
"All this is assuming, of course,
that the paint used is the very best
to be had-the purest of white lead
and the purest of linseed oil, un-
mixed with any cheapener. If the
cheap mixtures, often known as
White Lead and oil which has been
doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn
oil. or other of the a%dulterants
known to the trade, are used, all the
precautions of the skilled painter are
useless to prevent the cracking and
peeling which make houses unsightly
in a year or SO and, therefore, make
painting bills too frequent and costly.
The house owner should have his
painter bring the ingredients to the
premises separately-white lead Of
some well-known, reliable brand and
linseed oil of equal quality - and
mix the paint just before applying
it."
Painting need not be expensive and
unsatisfactory if the old painters
suggestions are followed.
Not by their signs, but by their
service, shall We know them.

T. D. H, Glade Spring, Va, writes:
l have two Jersey cows. two years
old, and have been feeding them clo-
yer hay and top fodder for rough
ness. At night l have been cutting
up a portion Of this feed and mixing
with it one-half gallon of chop with
shorts left i'm per head. AS a morn
ing feed | wish to use wheat bran
and cottonseed meal, and would like
to know the best proportions and the
quantity to use. These COWS will
calve in May, and are now giving
about one and a half gallons Of milk
per head per day. Is there any dan
ger of producing abortion by over
feeding above? Would also like to
know the best food to give a sly
months'-old standard bred colt to Sc
cure best development, regardless of
cost.
Answer-Good clover hay and top
fodder will furnish suitable forms of
roughness for dairy COWS. Give them
all they will eat Of this mixture, and
you can thereby ave a little on the
concentrates, particularly as clover
hay contains quite a high per cent.
of digestible protein, and supplies
the cow with one of the necessary
elements Of nutrition, in a cheaper
form than you can purchase it
through concentrates.
You speak of the meal you are
nov giving asone-half gallon of chop
with the shorts left in. l am at a
loss 10 know what you mean by this.
Chop may be made up of a great va
riety Of things. If you mean bran
and middlings, for instance, you are
only giving the COW a little over one
and q half pounds of grain at a feed.
This is a very little ration for COWS
giving the amount of milk men
toned. 1t is much better to feed
animals by weight, or at least to
have a measur with marks along
the sides SO YOU can tell at a glance
when YOU are giving a pound of a
given foodstuff. A measure of this
kind can be purchased for a few
cents, and some streaks OF red paint

Winter Feedingvs. Finishing on Grass
B. E. j., Carlisle, writes: l have a

for the wintering and will have plen-
ty of blue grass and clover pasture

AnsweT-1t is quite impossible to
advise what is the best policy to pur-
sue with regard to feeding a bunch
OF calves or holding them over dur

There are so many cattle going on

good and the cattle can be fattened
with a minimum amount of grain.
This saves the pastures during the
hot, dry weather of summer, which
is a matter worth considering. OF
course, cattle can generally be
finished cheaper on grass than in the
stall. The season has a material in
fuence and the price of land is also
an important factor. In sections of
the country where hay is high priced
meadows a often be used for hay
production to advantage. One ac-
quainted with local conditions can
figure out these matters and deter
mine the best policy to pursue.
Blue grass and clover make an
ideal pasture. If the land is rich one
should make as much as 800 to 400
pounds of gain On good, growthy

TO do this you need to reserve one

hard to tell whether it is better to
finish the heifers with the feed you
have or carry them over the summer.
If you feed them this winter you
should be able to make them grow
right along with plenty of cowpea
hay n corn and cob meal mixed
with co~ttonseed meal. gluten meal or
linseed meal. Mix the feeds in equal
parts. If you have some shredded
stover or other dry roughness. feed
as much of it as they will consume
along with ten to fifteen pounds of
coWpea hay. Cattle fed on dry foods
should take to grass kindly, and it
will not be necessary to feed them
much if any grain when the early
sap gets out of the grass. Cattle fed
as suggested should put on a good
deal of flesh and not so much fat,

The use Of Oil i'll road making, was
tried with some success in experiments
at Jackson, Tenn. The best results
were obtained with heavy, natural oils.
which were applied while hot, being
heated on the cart by steam, using
about one-third gallon per square yard.
The road material and the oil formed
a mixture something like concrete.
which produced little dust, and proved
quite desirable, also reducing the noise
of traffic. The coating is about one
eighth thick. The experiments, being
very recent, are not yet regarded as
complete with regard to the lasting
effects of the oil.
