How Those Found In the North At
Iantic Are Formed.
The distance covered by an iceberg
of the north Atlantic from the time
it is formed until it reaches the banks
is fully $500 miles. 1t may have been
afloat for a year, exposed to wide
changes Of temperature, battered by
ice foes, possibly other bergs and
ceaselessly washed by the waves. Yet
some of those seen 1000 miles south
Of their starting point are nearly 800
feet in height and truly of majestic
proportions, often 1000 or more feet
in length, while it is an established
scientific fact that so much more Of
the bulk is under water than is visible
that the largest bergs may extend into
the ocean to a depth of over half a
mile.
Their enormous size when they be-
come detached from the glaciers is
proved by the observations of eXplOr-
ers along the Greenland coast. A few
years ago berg was measured as
nearly as possible around the edges.
This distance was about five miles.
1t had several peaks estimated to
range from 300 to 500 feet high. Judg
ing from its appearance. it was solid
mass that had separated in its entirety
from the glacial edge of Greenland.
AS arctic navigators who venture
far north often see q score or more Of
great bergs III day, the tremendous
glacial activity in this region can be
appreciated The majority of these
that drift to the Grand banks come
from Melville bay Some of the dis
tinct glaciers that terminate the Green
land ice cap on this coast extend along
it a distance Of fully twenty-five miles.
Their thickness or height can only be
estimated, but in places near the open
sea it is believed to be several hun
dred feet.
Recent examinations of this coast
show that during the short summer
the formation of bergs in the bay is
almost continuous. The glacial move
ment keeps pressing the ice forward
until a thick stratum often projects
many feet beyond that beneath. After
a time the great weight overcomes the
tensile strength Of the mass and 1t
falls into the sea, and a berg is Gre

He Dazed Lew Wallace.

Shortly after the first success Of
"Ben-Hur" Lew Wallace had occasion
to go over to London and one day
picked up a pirated copy of the novel
at a railroad newsstand. To his
amaZement he found the subtitle left
off, preface interpolated and one Of
the chapters rewritten Of course he
boiled with rage, and as soon as pos
sible he called on the publisher. That
gentleman coolly admitted his crime
and told Wallace he thought the
amended form better adapted to the
British taste, doncherknow. His gall
was so stupendous that the novelist
was awed and went away without
splitting his gore.

1t Was Good Advice.

A wildly turbulent peasant was once
witness in trial before Chief Baron
O'Grady. The counsel, after Fostering
him for some time. put question to
him which reflected on the witness
character.
eff We ak me that again I'll give We a
kick in the gobr' was the answer.
The counsel appealed to the court,
stating that an answer was necessary
to his clients case, ending up with
the query, what would your lordship
advise me to do?'
'If you are resolved to repeat the
question:" replied the court, I'D advise
you to move a little from the wit

Profit In Geese.

There is no fowl that will respond
to treatment or furnish better results
than the waterfowl 1t will mature
just as rapidly away from streams as
near them. A generous supply OF
drinking water is all that is required
There are many places on farm that
are worthless for cultivation that
could be utilized with excellent results
for goose raising. Many farmers are
profiting by this and adding to their
incomes annually. The care and at
tention necessary for raising geese are
very small when compared with the
returns, and the cost of food is also
proportionately small in comparison
with the cost Of food used for other
birds bred for market. A goose on
range will gather the largest portion
of its food consisting of grasses, in
sects and other animal and vegetable
matter to be found in the fields and
brooks.
The goose occupies the same place
among poultry that sheep do among
live stock and If cared for are just as

MANNING THE STATIONS.
Discipline Aboard ship at Sea In
Times of Emergency.


Times of Emergency.
At no time is the perfect organiza-
ton aboard ship so well illustrated as
in the time Of an emergency. The
slightest scent of danger In the wind
must find every man ready. And
every man is ready. Every man has
number. Every man has station.
A bell tap may send your dining room
steward off at run just when he is
serving your soup. At the bell tap he
Is no longer your steward. he IS
"No. 49, in the ships emergency Or
ganization, and when he gets to his
station he finds Nos. 81, 40, 236, III,
248 and some others there to act with
him like a machine. Aboard a big
ship there are sometimes as many as
sixty stations about the vessel, and at
| the sound of an alarm bell thirty sec
onds have not elapsed before every
man has responded to his number at
his station and is ready to act, to fight
fire, to man the lifeboats, or what not.
Up In the wheelhOuse is further ex-
emplification of what system will do.
Within reach of the officers are
dozen contrivances Of machinery that
connect with every part of the ship.
A touch Of one lever closes a bulk
head in this or that compartment OF
the hold. touch of another mans all
emergency stations, a lever here mans
| lifeboat so-and-so, and lever there
mans any one or all. Here is q tele-
| phone, it's wires extending TO every
part of the ship, and an officers voice
carried to a distance station in the
bowels of the ship is so magnifed
by mechanical means that it can be
heard twenty feet from the receiver
and fairly bellows it's orders.
A sailor or steward never knows at
what minute, day or night, he may be
| called to his station. At the sound of
the signal bell he must be at his post.
There is a drill Of some kind every
| day aboard ship, but the men never
| know whether they are running to
real fire or only drill. Boats are I'M
covered, falls overhauled, davits swung
out Every boat must have it's COM
pass, night signals, fresh water and
| provisions ready for immediate action.
From the chart room the captain can
start squad in the most remote part
of the ship simply by pressing a but
ton. and the flashing of tiny electric
lights faithfully record how every de-
tail of the drill is being carried out.
A chart gives the location of all bulk
heads. and tiny light sparkles when
this or that water tight compartment
| is closed. In case of collision every
bulkhead below the water line is closed
by turn of lever in the wheelhouse,
making the modern ship practically
unsinkable.-Van Vliet Aiding in Book

CHINESE JUSTICE.

Tried TO Poison Him.
When Ii Hung Chang was Chinese
premier and was having a bitter fight
with some Of the more conservative
members of the tsung-li-yamen he re-
ceived as a present magnificent cake
which he had reason to suspect con-
tanned poison. He put the cake aside
and set all his powerful machinery
to work to find out who was at the
bottom of the plot. The investigation
was partly successful, the crime being
traced to three men, of whom one at
least was absolutely guilty. Ii had
the trio arrested and brought to his
yamen. When they arrived they were
ushered into his presence and were re-
ceived in his courtliest manner. The
cake was produced with the remark
that politeness forbade his tasting 1t
until the three generous donors had
had an opportunity to enjoy its excel
lence. Ii cut the cake, and one Of his
servitors handed it to the unwilling
guests. Each took piece and ate or
pretended to eat it. One crumbled the
pieces and let them fall upon the floor,
but the other two ate calmly, without
manifesting any emotion. Ten min
utes and the two men began to show
symptoms of suffering. Ii smiled be-
nignantly and said to the man who
had not eaten, "Your wisdom is so
great that l am compelled to preserve
your head as a souvenir to transcend
ent genius"
The man was removed and promptly
decapitated. To the other two the pre-
mier remarked: 1.-THE cake that you
are eating is not the one you sent, but
one which l had my cook initiate. The
poison from which you are suffering
exists only in your imagination. L
know of no way to cure your present
pain except by letting you share the
same fate as your friend who has just
left the ROOM"
AS they were led away the states
man said to his retinue, ''It is a pity
that a man who can eat a deadly cor
rosive poison with an unmOved coun-
tenance should so misapply the talent
wherewith heaven has endowed him"

GOVERNMENT FOR FARMERS.
Legislation In Australia Makes the
Dairy Business Profitable.

Legislation In Australia Makes the
Dairy Business Profitable.
1t may interest American farmers to
know that in Australia the govern
ment has come to the aid of agricul-
ture in satisfactory manner. This is
particularly true of dairy farming.
The provincial government maintains
at Calgary the largest and finest dairy
station and cold storage plant in all
the west. A few years ago the farm
ers of southern Alberta became dis
satisfied with the private creameries
then in operation and asked the gov
eminent to take charge of the bust
ness. The government is especially
solicitous for the prosperity Of farm
ers, and the public policy has no pur-
pose that precedes their best interest.
Therefore the request was taken up,
and government creameries took the
place of the old private concerns.
These creameries are equipped upon
the most modern plans. and, being con
Quoted with no thought of profit, but
solely in the interests of the farmers,
their operation has been of enormous
benefit. They are called 'co-opera-
tive and really are just exactly that.
A chain of them has been established
through the country sufficient and eff
cient to serve the whole farming com
munity. They are subject to the con-
troll of their patrons, through boards
of directors, and under government
management.
Most of the patrons separate their
milk at home by means of hand sep
arators and take their cream to the
government stations, say three or four
times a week There it is carefully
tested. weighed and credited up. AT
the end of each month each patron
gets credit for the equivalent Of his
cream in butter and receives a cash
advance equal to 10 cents a pound
Thirty or sixty days later a check for
the balance is sent him from the de-
partment of agriculture direct-that Is
to say, the government actually takes
his cream. makes his butter and pays
him the market rate in cash and a gov
eminent check. This is neither pa
ternalism nor socialism. 1t is a farm.
ers' government, doing business with
and for the farmers. In other words
it is simply business, and good bust
ness at that. for all concerned. The
average price paid at government
creameries in 1908 was 25.43 cents.
OF course these creameries have tC
be maintained, and this Is accomplish
ed by making charge of 4 cents a
pound One cent Of this goes to q
fund for the purchase of buildings and
machinery, of which the farmers be
come part owners to the extent of theil
contributions.
All this would mean little if 1t die
not secure the best market advantages
for everybody concerned, but it does
mean that and in a fuller sense thar
could be secured through any other
process. The government has consol
idated the market and conducts the
sales, all in behalf of the producers
The butter is sold through government
agencies, principally heretofore in
British Columbia and the Yukon dis
trict, but of late In growing quaint
ties to Japan. large export trade in
butter from southern Alberta has
sprung up in the Japanese market.

A PAIR OF TOULOUSE GEESE.

profitable in proportion. 1t is just as
necessary to pluck the feathers from
the goose as it is to shear the wool
from the sheep, and the product has a
great demand.
The Toulouse is one of the largest
breeds of geese and is very profit
able, as it attains an enormous size
and when fattened brings high price
in the market. 1t is a fairly good
layer, averaging about forty eggs in
a season. Some persons labor under
the delusfon that geese do not lay I'M
til they are two years old or if they
do their eggs are not fertile. The eggs
from Toulouse and White Chinese
geese hatch almost as readily as do
eggs from older geese. AS long as
geese have plenty of grass they will
need very little, if any, feed. except
during the laying season. when they
should be fed literally on some mash
food. Geese prefer bulky food

The PouItice Is a Barbaric Relic.

The poultice is a barbarous relic Of
the days Of witch burning. The typ
ical home poultice is made Of f1axseed.
1t is a soggy, unsayory, germ infested
instrument of torture Clapped upon
the suffering baby's chest, it interferes
with the poor child's breathing, infects
his skin with the germs that cause
pimples and boils and makes him I'M
bearably uncomfortable and unhappy.
The heat in the poultice is its only
valuable feature. The dampness does
damage, and the flaxseed is as inert as
so much sawdust or breakfast food.
