in Fuel.

About two months ago Engineer
II. II. Mcguire of this city, filed
with the patent office at Washington
an application for patent on hot
blast furnace door and frame. The
application was accompanied with a
model. A few days ago Mr.. Ma
guire received letter from the pat.
ent Office stating that there was
nothing along the principle of his
model on file i'll the Office and that
his application would be considered
in due time. This is practically an
assurance that a patent will be
issued.
The door can be used on all loco
motives and stationary boilers and
Mr.. Mcguire is confident its use
will result in saving of from 20 tt
25 per cent of fuel. 1t has beer
proven that the hot blast draft II
heating stoves, where soft coal i
used, saves fuel by converting tn
gas arising from the coal into heat
Some months ago Mr.. Magulre cam
to the conclusion that if the no
blast draft would save fuel in beat
ing stoves it would certainly say
fuel on locomotives and other boiI
ers. He accordingly set to wor
devising furnace door that woul
operate on that principle. lie wa

the patent office.
Mr.. Mcguire exhibited his mod
and explained its principle to M

Mr.. Dunn in conversation with N

Master Mechanic Carrick and

II possible, the bronze turkey has been
developed too much in the direction Of
size.
One Of the most successful growers
in the country feeds the young poults
at the start oatmeal, broken wheat and
finely cracked corn; as they grow
older, whole wheat, hulled oats and
coarser cracked corn and, still later,
whole grains of corn. When running at
large they are taught to come close
to the barns twice a day for food.
Following these and similar methods
enabled him to bring to maturity dur
ing an unfavorable season over 300
turkeys out of about 1856 that were
Matched.
Some growers crate-fatten turkeys,
just as chickens and other poultry are
finished for market. Another plan is
to cram them every morning and even
ing and drive them out to pasture dur
ing the day, They are crammed with
boluses made OF barley meal, potatoes,
some small cut green's and little
bran. These are dipped in milk and
pushed down the throat, enough be-
ing fed in this way to fill the crop.
In many localities turkey growing
has become almost extinct as the re-
suit Of the scOurge known as black
head. This disease was first noticed
In New England, but quickly spread
throughout the entire country.

A mixture Of tame and wild hay to-

the most economical roughage for the
young stock during the winter says
Andrew Boss of the Minnesota station
IN Breeders Gazette. If it is supplied
to them in a sheltered yard where
provision is made against tFampling
me fodder under foot, profitable
growth should be obtained at reason
able cost. A mixture Of bran and oats
not to exceed three or four pounds per
day for each thousand pounds i've
weight would be a good addition to
the ration. The steers will get enough
grain from the shock corn to make up
the rest Of the seven pounds to ten
pounds grain ration required for goOd
growth.
