ENGINEERS TAME SPARROW.
Has FondneSS for Railroad Men
his Queer Nesting Place.

Jim IS the name of a sparrow
which is the pet of the engine
drivers and hremen at one of the
railroad centers in the north of
Scotland.
He was Matched within the
noisy precincts of busy locomo-
tive stable, but falling out of the
nest before being fully fedged, was
placed i'll cage and tenderly car
ed for in the in the railroad office.
On the third day he began to be
friendly, and in a very short time
was flying all over the room, and
even allowed himself to be petted.
In fact, he quickly became so
tame that one day when his owner
Cthe local railroad engineer) was

quietly fell asleep, and when about
six months old began to accom-

He chooses very queer places
for his nests, the oldest and most
awkward SO far being the inside
breast coat pocket of his owner,
whom he would follow wherever
he went, stuf1ing the selected
pocket with miscellaneous nesting

age. Animals Friend.

The regular meeting of he Board

 One of the matters which came
 before the Board was presented in
 d letter from he Geological Survey at Washington, stating that the Government would not be able to
 maintain longer the gauging sta
 lion on the Santa Cruz River. This ls an important matter to this section, and 1t may become neces. sary for the Board of Trade to again take charge of the expense for maintenance of such d station. At present the work of gauging has been discontinued
 It is noticeable that the Board of Trade is rapidly being placed upon the mailing list of all commercial organizations through out the country, as is shown by the fact that no movement of any i'm portance Is inugurated by any of them without this organization re- celvlng an invitation to participate. Just lately the Board has received two such invitations, one from the California Protection Committee, asking the endorsement of the Board of petition to he Secretary of the Navy for a greater arm ament on the Pacific Coast, and another from the organization in St. Louis which is endeavoring to hasten the return of prosperity. The Board Is in receipt of letter from the Secretary of the Califor- mia Promotion Committee stating that the petition lately presented to Secretary Metealf has made great impression upon him, and it Is likely that good results will follow.

 The cement walks on the third block or Ora wford street are all completed except in front of the Bird property at the corner of West avenue, and on that Barney Quinn has finished the grading. Next week he will build retaining wall, and the week following Smith X Lester will lay the concrete. h the block above the work of grad ing the Schuckman and Jones properties Is we'll under way.

few grades of various breeds. All
ecords we're carefully kept from day

INFLUENCE OF THE SIRE.
One Of the Most important Factors In
Successful Dairying.

A writer illustrates this principle
very we'll this way:
"If the bull be Of inferior breeding
II affects all the calves OF his get,
more or less, in the entire herd. But
II there Is a single COW that Is in
'erior, the loss extends no farther than
her own calf"
This is true. declares Hoard's Dairy.
nan, and II emphasizes the truth OF
the old maxim: The bull is half OF
he herd for good or bad" When farm.
,rs get this idea into their minds full
'ize, there will be less fooling with
Inferior bulls or sires Of any kind.
n reality It is this low, cheap esti'
ate Of the value of good breeding in
he bull that is at the bottom OF all
he poor, improbable cows that we
zee. or course, II a man has a poor
stimate of the value Of the sire. he
apt to set a poor estimate on what
he should do In other things. II is
rue, as Hiram Smith said "A good
null is a great educator"
There is another mistaken idea
which prevails very largely with farm
ers who have not looked into this ques
ion of breeding as they ought.
They think that If they have a goot
cow she will bring good heifer NJ
natter how she Is bred. 1t Is that
over confidence in the mother tha
makes them so Indifferent to gooC
qualities in the sire.
We may have the best soil in the
world, but If we use poor seed we har
yest disappointment.
Then, again, If the mother is ;
.rade, and of course of mixed blood
here is just as good a chance that sh'
viii breed from the inferior element
her nature, as from the superior, un
IS she is always coupled with a su
erior male.
1t is a mistake TO suppose that
ood COW of inferior breeding is there
1y qualified to drop good calves. W.
must look deeper than her performing

live us profitable heifers. Her vein

THE CONTINUOUS DOOR.
Type Of Opening for the silo That 10
Most Desirable.

The advantages OF continuous
door to the silo making It possible to
climb ladder on the inside of the
nhute and step directly on to the silage
without even stopping would be appre-
oiated by all and especially by the
nan past middle age. Our illustration
shows general plan of a proposed
lilo which will have door with
othing extending across 1t. The doors
could be OF any height, perhaps simply
ongued and grooved plank sawed as
long as width Of door. The chute is
built with the rest of the silo, of the
same masonry construction, and the re-
enforcing steel passes around the
chute. The portion of the wall at B
in the figure is only supported at A
and G. However, for concrete brick
)r tile, light steel rod may be laid
in the wall approximately as shown,
which makes a REINFORCED beam of
