House for Turikevs.

In colder climates, where shelter
must be provided a house may be built
with the slanting roof and an open

close to the roof, and never be closed
except in cold weather The roost
should be placed on level In the
front Of the house. with a sliding or
rolling door in the rear. Only light
enough is needed for the turkeys to see
the way to and from the roosts. The
door should be left open all day, that
they may come and go at pleasure.

Spokane Fair a Success.

The gates of the Interstate fair
closed at 6 p. m. Saturday, after the
most successful year in its history.
The attendance for the 13 days of the
fair this year was 128,480, an excess
over last years figures Of more than
1900. OF the entire admission prob
ably three-fifths was in the daytime,
which would make the gate receipts
amount to, approximately, $4,000.
For the IL days on which there was
racing about two-thirds of the after
poon attendance visited the grand
stand, and the 900 reserved seats were
filed at all times, giving an addition
al revenue of $4,000. The bar privi-
lege netted the management $500
and the bookmakers paid $3.50 for
each of the 81 races, making an aggre-
gate from them of $15,75O. The total
receipts of the fair association from
these figures, would be in the neigh
borhood of $50, $3.50. This sum does
rot include the revenue from the con-
cessions, such as the eating houses
end the Midway attractions.

shoes and spectacles for Animals.
In Bohemia when geese are to be
driven long distances to market they
are shod for the journey. The method
of shoelng is as simple as 1t Is effective.
The geese are made to walk repeatedly
over patches Of tar mixed with sand.
This forms a hard crust on their feet,
which enables them to walk long dis
tances without becoming footsore.
Even more useful than shoes for
geese are the spectacles worn by the
cows that feed on the Russian steppes,
a region where the snow lies for six
months of the year.
These cattle pick up a living from
the tufts of grass that crop UP above
the snow. The sun shines so dazzlngly
upon the white surface that many of
the animals suffered formerly from
snow-blindness. 1t occurred to an in
genious and humane individual that
this situation might be remedled so he
at once experimental in the manufac-
ture Of smoke-colored spectacles that
might be adjusted to cattle. The re-
suit was successful and the animals
were saved much suffering.

Washington, Oct 9.-Immigration
of Japanese into America is increas-
ing at so alarming a rate that it has
been determined to adopt extraordin-
airy measures to prevent the introduce
ton into the United States not only
of. Japanese, but of other Asiatic
coolie labor One result of the trip
of Secretary Straus has been an in
crease in the force of immigration in
spectors along the Canadian border
with view to controlling the food
Of Asiatic immigration. 1t is known
that more than double the number of
Japanese have come into the United
States thus far in the year 1907 than
came here during the same period
last year. Naturally the figures of
the government do not include the
hundreds of Japanese who have come
into the country surreptitiously. They
have come across from the Canadian
and Mexican borders principally with
out hindrance, despite the means
adopted by the government to pre-
vent the introduction of Japanese
laborers.
Bound for United States.
For many months the government
has had immigration commissioners in
Mexico and Canada. In practically
every instance the inspectors have
reported that the Japanese who reach
Mexico or Canada are bound for the
United States.
Inquiries in the Hawaiian islands
have revealed organizations whose
business is to procure Japanese la,
borers to work in the United States
They not only provide the means, but
pave the way by which Japanese may
easily obtain entrance to this country
through Mexico and Canada.
1t is this sort of position that the
government proposes to combat. II

constitutes a patrol guard of the
northern and southern borders of the
country, Secretary Straus hopes to re
Guce the number of Asiatics who daily
are coming across the borders il

Returns from the Canadian immigra
ton offices show that 1886 Asiatic:
landed at the British Columbia ports
of Victoria and Vancouver between
January 1 and September IS, 1907. o.
this number 1872 we're Hindus, 4811
we're Japanese, most of the latter
reaching Canada from Honolulu. The
remainder were Chinese, who paid ad
mission fees of 800 for the privilege
of landing in Canada. The field of la
Dor in that section of Canada is limit
ed, and the immigration inspectors
have shown that most of the Japanese
and Chinese expect ultimately to get
into the United States.

Metal Pot in Standard Steel Works
at Butler, Pa.
Butler Pa, Oct IAN explosion
caused by the upsetting of the metal
pot in the No. 1 cupola of the Stand.
ard Steel company Sunday caused the
death of four men, fatally injured 20
and seriously hurt 20 others. Nearly
all the men were foreigners. The large
wheel plant was demolished, causing
loss estimated at 100000.
The dead:
Nick d. Orna.
Nicholas Blotar.
John Verreck.
An unidentified man.
The condition of the 40 men injured
is pitiable. Although still alive, the
features of a majority are mutilated
beyond recognition. The hot metal
was showered over them, causing hor-
rible injuries. Arms, fingers and ears
were torn off and a number of men
lost eyes, burned out Several men
are in the hospital with their legs
burned to a crisp.
Caused by Break of Span.
The explosion was caused by the
upsetting of metal pot in the cupola
which contained 5000 pounds of mol
ten metal, ready for casting. A span
in the pot broke, allowing the liquid
iron to spill over the wet sand. An
explosion followed so quickly that not
one of the workmen in the building
had a chance to escape. Streams of
the burning metal poured out on the
workmen, some of whom were en-
quilted and literally cooked, Twenty
men near the cupola had every shred
of clothing blown off by the explosion.
Many were buried under the wreckage
and were not rescued for an hour aft
er the catastrophe. Buildings in the
city, from the force of the explosion,
shivered as if shaken by an earth
quake, and people rushed from their
homes panic stricken.
When flames shot from the burn
ing car works, thousands Of PEG
pie rushed to the scene, blocking
streets and interfering with fire COM
panies and ambulances. Through lack
of room, many of the injured were
compelled to lie naked for an hour on
cots in the street cars before reaching
the hospital At the gate of the car
plant, men and women struggled fran
tically to gain admission and were
kept out only by the assistance of a
force of policemen In the crush, many
women were injured and their cries OF
pain and anguish could be heard
blocks away. The car wheel plant
was finished last year at a cost Of
S2OO,OOO The wrecked cupola alone
cost $4,000. The car works proper
costing $3,OOOOOO, were in danger Of
destruction, but the fire department
soon had the blaze under control.

Trees Grow at Night.

One of the foreign agents of the Blu

ports as the result Of a series OF meas
urements Of growing apple and pear
trees and rose and geranium bushes
and other plants that SO per cent of the
growth of trees takes place between
midnight and o'clock In the morning.
The growth continues at much di-
minished rate until 8 o'clock. After
that it is very slight until noon, when
the tree falls into a condition of COM
plete rest, lasting until o'clock. Then
there is a gradual renewal of the
growth, which, however, does not be-

GrapeVlnes usually need very little
manure other than mineral, and that
chiefly potash. In European countries
1t is the habit Of vineyardlsts to burn
the prunings each year and apply the
ashes. No other fertilizer Is used. In
fact, stable manures are objected to, as
they make the vines grow rank, and the
fruit will lack the haVor that belongs
to fruits whose vines are only MANFRED
with the ashes. Much Of the excellence

Trees for Moist Soils.

The common cottonwood is one Of the
least useful trees for waste planting on
the farm, because 1t succeeds we'll only
in fresh, moist soils, says @. A. Keffar,
In Montana Fruit Grower. In the far
West 1t is a useful tree for planting in
seepage spots, and 1t can be well grown
in all moist soils. 1t is neither durable
nor strong, so that its principal value
is in It's rapid growth, giving an early
supply Of fuel. OF the willows, the lead
ing one Is the common white willow,
which is especially useful as a wind
break, but the willow also likes a moist
soil, uniting 1t for most waste plant
ing.
