a slender woman burst through

he did not see the young woman nor

line TO COAST

ELY, Aug. 27.-Two engineering
parties are in the field between the
Tintie, Utah, mining district and the
Nevada state line making preliminary
surveys for a railroad from Salt Lake
to Los Angeles that will be backed by
the Santa Fe railroad company. Pa
pers have been prepared and are now
held in Maine, where the new COM

road company with capital of $32,.

each, A New York trust company
represents the promoters in attend
ing to the details of incorporation.
The general route of the new road
will be from a connection with the
Denver and Rio Grande, in the Utah
coal fields, thence westward, crossing
the Clark road about sixteen miles
south of Eureka, through between
the Fish Springs and Dugway noun
tains, in Juab county, entering Ne
vada in Antelope valley, little south
of Deep creek, From there the road

Spring valleys and make connection
with the camps of Red Hills, Siegel,

Nevada gold fields, making Tonopah
one of the important points on the
line to be constructed, from which
place the route is westward through
ssmeralda county into Mono county,
California. It will pass north of
Mono lake and again turn to the
south and extend to Los Angeles.
During the present year the work
he promoters hope to accomplish is
o complete the preliminary surveys
md make estimates of the cost of the
'arious sections of the road and hone
o commence active construction
work next year and build the road
through to the coast in record break

that when the truck is wanted to lift
hives off the bottom boards or to carry
to another stand they can be removed;
and by opening the front pull-bar the
handles may be sprung open sufficient
ly to go easily each side of the hive;
and when the pull-bar is put back in
place and the pin put in, the hive can
not slip or shift. The drop-leg shown
will hold the hive up and leave both
clear to work at AS regards the drop
leg, make the joint so that the leg will
be free to work only one way-back
and forth; otherwise the weight of
the hive will swing the truck round
and let the hive down. l suggest a
joint something like the hinge of a
rule; and below the pin the leg swings
by, have hole right through the joint
and leg to put pin through; then the
truck cannot possibly move. Now,
when you lift hive by the truck, the
writer in Bee Culture goes on to eX-
plain, you can, if you wish, move it
sidewise, or back or forth, as needed;
and in putting it back you can guide
it home to one-sixteenth inch. When
the drop-leg is lifted for ordinary
work about the yard l would have
short fixed legs to come, say, just
back of where the back of the hive
comes for lifting; and when the drop
leg is hooked up to the side-rails it is
out of the road. With the loose floor
boards in place, you have handy cart
for carrying supers and the many
other things needed in yard worked
for bread and butter. With a pair of
wheels and an axle handy man
would make it in a day, and have a
tool that would make many a hard
task pleasant and easy.

FATTENING CHICKENS.
They Must Be Confined to Obtain the
Best Results.

After taking his readers through
the period of fattening chickens from
one to six weeks, the Irish Homestead
expert sums up the subject as fol
lows: eve will say, then, in the first
place that cockerels and pullets will
not fatten, no matter what quality or
quantity of food you feed them, so
long as they are running pell nell
about the farm and, therefore, the
chief essentials for fattening them
successfully are not only suitable
foods, but also suitable quarters in
which they can be confined.
'You must select good table
breed, and one which can be made to
suit the requirements of your mar
ket.
You must separate the cockerels
from the pullets while fattening, and
must confine both in either yards or
coops. You must begin to fatten at
the proper age, and keep the birds
under treatment neither longer nor
shorter than the periods recon-
mended, which are six weeks for yard
fattening, two weeks for coop fatten-
ing, and three weeks FOR examining.
"The fowls must be fed only twice
a day, and the foods used must be
sound, wholesome and of good fat and
fiesh-forming nature. The yards,
coops and all appliances must be kept
strictly clean, and it is well to use
slack lime and lime wash freely when
ever possible.
"The fattening or examining indus
try in Sussex, England, and the adj
joining counties, has now assumed
such gigantic proportions that hun
dreds of thousands of pounds worth
Of dressed poultry are dispatched from
every parish in single year, and
there are thousands of families de-
pending for their livelihood On the in
dustry."

BLUE BEST OF ALL.
Excellent Material to Use for the New
Autumn Suit.

In the autumn tailor suit tints there
i, numbered new blue bearing the
honored name of Edison. This is also
among the faded shades; that is, so
soon as it is put into juxtaposition
with navy or peacock. At first glance
it seems to be of the electric family,
as naturally it should be, but it is
much more dull, fact which does not
seem quite just to the great modern
magician whose name it bears. At
any rate, this new blue seems to take
with woman generally, and bids fair
to be tremendously popular for the
simpler type of tailormades. One rea-
son is that navy has been used for
so long and that peacock is rather
startling and has way of swearing
at any other tint of azure with which
il is combined. AS blue of dull tone
is always practical shade for year.
round utility wear, it is the best OF
all colors for the woman who, greatly
against her natural inclination, must
make one costume do duty for va
riety of occasions.

POULTRY NOTES.

Chickens return larger profit than
any other animal on the farm ard yet
they invariably receive the least at
tention.
The fact that eggs become more
plentiful during warm spells is an in.
dication that, warmth has something
to do with laying.
Be sure that the pullets have plenty
of good food during the summer If
you expect them to develop and lay
when eggs are scarce.
The fowl yards should be plowed up
occasionally; this serves two purposes.
It gives the fowls a chance to eat the
worms and gets rid of the trampled,
unclean soil on top.
Success in poultry raising is like
everything else-there's money in it
for the right man. However, it's no
get-rich-quick scheme and there's lot
of hard work to do.

placing them in the new wing. This
contract carries $134,219, which was
the lowest of five bids, the highest,
s165,319, being submitted by the Ches-
ter n. Martens Marble Company of
Chicago. Other contracts awarded
were as follows: Mason work, Nc
Nulty Bros, Chicago, $58,500; car

TaiIorrade Suit Accessories.

Much of the smart effect of any
tailormade suit depends upon its ac-
cessories. Needless to say, anything
savoring of the directoire should not
be accompanied by linen collar and
a stiff little tie. These belong to what
is known as the English type of street
suit, meaning the severely tailored box
or semi-fitting coat and gored or plait-
ed skirt, minus trimming. With the
French model there should be a high
lace collar or chiffon stock-giving
the desired soft effect about the chin
and the frilly lacey front, in addition
to the wrist ruffies, which should be Of
finest handweave or hand embroidery

WORK FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
Simple Hemstitching of Towels Is
Easily Taught.

Home made face and hand towels
wear much better than ready-made
ones, and are so soft and pleasant to
sew that quite little girls are often
delighted to help with the simple hem
stitching. Those for best use and the
spare room may have an insertion of
fine crochet or torchon lt-ce, and this
is stronger than making drawn
thread pattern in the huckaback, a
yard and quarter of which should be
allowed for each towel.
One seldom sees fringed towels
nowadays, but if they are, preferred
the fringes should be overcast before
they are taken into use. This is done
by laying the edge of the towel over
the first finger of the left hand-hold-
ing the fringe between the first and
second fingers-and working an over
cast stitch to prevent the loose
threads from unraveling. Linen
thread, not ordinary sewing cotton,
should be used for this purpose, as
also for hemstitching or drawn
thread work on huckaback towels.
