The stanchions are made of well-sea-
soned 1-inch elm and no breaks have
occurred thus far. The youngest calves
do not require more than five inches
space for the neck when confined. The
stanchion frames are bored with a
number Of holes so that the movable
upright pieces can be shifted accord
ing to the size of the calf. AS calves
the yearling stage and their
horns interfere with the working Of
the stanchion the movable piece may
be removed and the animal allowed to
go free while feeding. This system
has given the utmost satisfaction, per-
calves to be fed individually |
according to their needs and entirely !
preventing the many bad habits so
frequently acquired by the pail fed |
calf.

Ensilage Is being used more and
more for general farm stock, being
fed to some extent to the calves, the
market steers and the horses. 1t
probably requires little higher grade
of skill to manage a farm with the
silo system. There is room for judg-
ment in putting UP the silo. in han

have made the change seems to 1lndi-
cate that there is no need Of making
serious mistakes even the first year,
while the new system nearly always
gives satisfaction under the circum-
stances mentioned. Perhaps not ev-
cry dairy farmer needs a silo, but it
can not be denied that a great many
more silos are needed than have yet
been put up.

OUR FUTURE RAILWAY RIVAL.
It VIII he Russia, Which Now IL
Second to Us in Mileage.

It VIII He Russia, Which Now IL
Second to Us in Mileage.
II 1t Is question merely of bigness
the Russian railway system Is far and
away the first in Europe. There are
already many more miles of railway
In the vast empire than in any other
country In the world excepting the
United States, and Russian railways
are still only in their infancy.
1t Is OF course quite true that there
are now in the United States more
miles of railway than in all Europe
and almost as many as in all the rest
of the world put together, and that our
territory Is so large and as yet so far
from complete development that we
shall probably keep the lead as far as
railway enterprise is concerned for
long time to come.
But in taking these large views,
says Moody's Magazine, we have for
gotten that Russia Is two and half
times as large as all the United States
put together with a population more
than half as large again as our own;
that In territorial extent it is more
than twice as large as all Europe; that
1t stretches across the world for 10
degrees OF longitude-nearly half way
around the globe-and that 1t includes
one-sixth OF the land surface of the
planet.
1t is not surprising that in such a
country railways should have had a
large development, that already there
is a considerable mileage and that the
prospects in this direction seem to
have no limit. In the future Russia
and the United States are likely to d.
vide the railway empire of the world
between them.

Calf Managers.

A form Of combined stanchion and
manger for calf feeding is illustrated
In bulletin published by the Michi-
gan Experiment Station and Is recon-
mended as being very convenient. The
principle on which the stanchlon Is
built Is not claimed to be new; the
use dates back number Of decades,
but the especial application and ad-
justment of the one hereafter describ-
ed presents some new features This
particular model is produced as the
result Of three years trial, having un-
dergone several changes since the first
one was installed. This appliance can
be adjusted so as to accommodate the
calf from birth up to twelve months
of age. The calves are confined in the
stanchions at feeding time only. After
the calf has been secured the milk
bucket Is placed in the manger; when
the milk Is consumed the bucket Is
removed and ensilage and meal sup
piled, followed by hay By using this
stanchion method Of feeding the maxi
mum number of calves can be kept in
minimum amount of space in a
clean, healthy, thrifty condition, pro-
vlding they are given access to out
door yardage. The average size of
the four calf pens in the dairy barn,
including manger space Is Is feet three
inches by II feet three inches Each
pen accommodates eight calves up to
five or six months of age. The average
size of two pens in the grade herd
barn accommodating six calves each,
Is feet 8 inches by IA feet 10 inches,
and three occupied by five each are
1919 feet by IL feet 9 inches. OF
course, in all cases except one the
calves have access to yardage at will.

tailed description, the bottom Of the

HUNTING IN CHINA.
Variety of Game Found Among the
Royal TOmbs.

Variety of Game Found Among the
Royal TOmbs.
Four hours by train southwest of
Peking lie the Hsi Ling or Western
Tombs, the mausolea of the reigning
dynasty. The tombs lie in "a large
parklike inclosure containing some
sixty square miles of broken, hilly
country In which the Chinese are not
allowed to settle and which may not
be plowed up. In consequence Of this
it's a refuge for all kinds of game
and about the only sure find for pleas
ants within easy reach Of Peking
A kind of chamois (the Indian
goraD and spotted deer are found ON
the higher hills and are preyed on by
the panther and the wolf AS soon as
the frost sets in for the winter the
Chinese begin shooting the pheasants,
and although they seem to do their
best to exterminate them, good many
apparently escape and provide the
stock for the following year.
The birds are shot over dogs, some
of which, have really good noses,
though in appearance they differ in
no way from the scavengers of the
village streets. If possible a tame
hawk is also taken out to mark down
birds that are missed or not fired at.
The man with the hawk takes his stand
on a commanding hill and the hunter
with his dog proceeds to draw round
him. If the dog puts up a pheasant
which. is missed by the Cinnamon, or
brace, only one Of which can be fired
at, the hawk is at once loosed and
pheasant and hawk disappear together.
The hunter reloads and follows and
finds the hawk by means of small
bell attached to it's back probably sit.
ting on a rock or tree stump.
He then sends his dog in to put up
the pheasant, which IS invariably hid
ing in a thick bit Of cover within a
few yards OF the hawk. AS long as
the hawk is sitting there the poor bird
will neither run nor fly, and thus falls
an easy victim to the hunter In this
way a couple Of Cinnamon with a gun,
ly large bags in places where the for
eigner vainly attempting to walk up
his game with a struggling line OF
useless Chinese beaters will probably
only get a few shots in a day, and
certainly never find a pheasant again
which he has once missed
On the stonier hills, where there IS
less cover, chikor are found in con-
siderable quantities and give very fair
sport, except for their indefatigable
powers Of running uphill; but the
Chinese keep them still by using
hawk Along the streams, fighting
hard to keep open in spite Of the Sc
we're frost, a few duck and snipe may
be picked up, the latter heavier and
plumper birds than regular spring and
autumn visitors.

Goodbye.
AT the touch of their hands their
young hearts were swayei by tender
and tumultuous feelings. A too strong
pressure startled them, and they loos-
ened their grasp. The sun sank behind
the hill. The shadows that fell upon
their faces awakened them f'om their
dreams. Again they said goodbye and
reluctantly parted. Once they stopped

1t was the same with David. The
fact that he had been reared a Qua

God from his youth; that he had strug

him to the least degree.

The YOlkA of Eyes.

The color of the yolk of the egg
seems often to be effected very notice
ably by a change in the food. When
fowls are closely confined in winter
or summer, it often happens, especial
ly if ration is deficient in green food,
that the yolks are pale colored. In
one instance much deeper orange
color in the yolk followed a change in
feeding to green clover and alfalfa.
One lot, where pale colored yolks we're
the rule, laid eggs with orange colored
yolks after they had been given the
run of a barn floor covered with dry
clover chaff and leaves. A change in
color of butter Is often noticeable In
the same way when cows are turned
to pasture after dry feed.

Since the discovery Of that region
constituting part of the present State
of Washington the fir stump has block.
ed the progress of civilization west of
the Cascades, from Oregon to British
Columbia Science has found ways
to span the States rivers, tunnel its
mountains and irrigate it's deserts, but
until recently 1t has been unable to
cope with the fir stump. Bulky, firm
rooted In the earth, and so saturated
with pitch that 1t will not decay, it
has defied everything but dynamite
and that costs about SO a stump, with
an equal amount to cover the expenses
Of the donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
of the stump has been shattered
Clearly such a costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in a
heavily timbered country.
Such was the situation when. three
years ago, an enterprising farmer con-
ceived the idea of burning out the
stumps by forced draft. After many
experiments he finally got horse
power donkey engine, attached a G.
inch American blower, and over this
he fitted tin case with twelve tubes
leading from 1t. To these he attached
pieces of garden hose and to the ends
iron pipe. Then he bored a hole in
the stump, and, dropping in a live
coal, inserted a pipe and started the
engine. In few moments the hole
was afame, and soon a dozen stumps
were blazing, although 1t was the wet
season and the monsters were sodden
with water.-Technical World.
Farm Notes.
1t Is better to sow rutabaga turnips
in rows than broadcast.
The best cows are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself.
Rotation must be practiced In the
garden or truck field to obtain the
best results.
Black Winter or Spanish radishes
should be sown In August or Septem-
Der with turnips.
II has been said that weeds are the
DEVILS flower" Certain 1t is that they
play the mischief with a crop.
1t is a look a long ways ahead, but
Just make up your mind now that you
will attend your state and county fair

To Stop Couahina.

Coughing is one of the nuisances
that no one has been able to abolish
in churches or in theaters. A ply
sician, however, claims that the
coughing nuisance is a mere question
of acoustics.
There is a subtle connection be
tween the ear and the throat" he
said. When the ear is strained the
throat is affected and a cough is the
result.
when we can hear perfectly in
church or theater it never occurs to
US to cough. But when we bend for
ward. straining every nerve to catch
the actors or preachers muf1ed syl-
tables, then we find ourselves cough
ing every little while. Build audi

A Fortunate Mishap.

In certain New England town they
manufacture a well-knOwn kind OF
towel, most efficient for drying pur
poses. How that towel first happened
to be made in the form which has
proved so profitable to it's makers is
the subject of an amusing legend. II
savors strongly of belonging to the
too good to be true" genus of anec
dotes, and is as follows:
Once the machinery in the towe
factory, busily engaged in turning out
a very conventional brand OF towel
suddenly went wrong and began, prac
tically, to go backward. There was
much excitement Eventually the ma
chinery was chastised and set tC
rights again.
Butt was discovered that the
towels turned out during that interva
of mechanical anarchy were Of z
texture quite unriYaled for use as
bath towels At once the machinery
was set going backward again. anC
has been travelling in that direction
ever since, to the great delight of tht
stockholders in the towel company.
