Spurs for Poultrymen

Try some of the ready pre-.
pared chick feeds this year
especially if feed must be pur.
chased anyway.
Have coops for young fowls
in a condition that they will shed
rain but SO that an abundance OF
ventilation may be given.
Begin the fight on lice aud
mites early in the season. Dc
not let them get we'll started a,
any time, and il will be easy tc
control them.
Dampuess is harmful to all
young poultry. Have their
coops in well-drained places. A
board floor will usually be a de-
cided advantage.
Rats and mice are two ever
active enemies Of the poultry
man. Both destroy much feed
and rats will carry of many
eggs and kill large numbers o,
chicks in a very short time.
Feeds that arc Improperly
prepared and prepared out oil
the wrong materials kill a large
proportion of young chicks tina,
are los, every year and which
the poultryman usually charges
up to bad luck.
DO not waste time on chickens
that come out Of the shell Grip
pied. They can rarely be made
TO live, and if they should be
kept alive. their cost will be ex.
cessive. Learn to kill them
early. and save them suffering
and save loss and worry for
yourself.
DO not forget that corn and
corn meal arc too starchy e
make rapid growth in poultry. II
bugs and worms are very abun
dant they may help to balance
the ration when a large part Of
the feed is corn or corn meal
but when chicks are young the
worms and bugs cannot usually
be depended on.

Sodium for Electric Uses.

Sodium is an excellent conductor of
electricity, and in view of the increas-
ing price of copper and the growing
demand for that metal not only for
electric installations, but for many
other purposes, the idea has been
preached that sodium should be tried
as material for electric cables. Elk
periments looking to this end have
lately been made by Mr.. A. G. Bett.
He filled an iron tube 1870 feet in
length with melted sodium. The core
thus formed had a cross-section of an
inch and half A current of 500 am
peres was readily transmitted through
it. Mr.. Bett thinks that sodium con-
ductors constructed upon this plan
may be made cheaper than conductors
of copper.

Electricity in Spain.

The recent increase in the use of

This is particularly true of places stu

The consumption of electric lamps,

scribed as being enormous. Every

Development Of Electric Road.

The electric railway had many lin
ventors"-persons who by various i'm
provements brought the system to its
present usefulness. Thomas Daven-
port, blacksmith of Brandon, VT, is
credited with having first suggested
the electric railway, although an Ital-
ian priest, Able Salvatore Del Negro,
professor of natural history at the
University of Padua, is reputed to
have designed an electric toy traction
machine of the reciprocating type in
1880. Davenport ran a toy motor
mounted on wheels on small circu-
lar railway In 1884, exhibiting this a
year later at Springfield and Boston,
Mass. About half century passed,
however, before the electric railway
was made practical for present uses.
