Grain Traffic on the Great Lakes

The system of inland waterways
formed by the Great Lakes has done
much toward making better and
cheaper service in the marketing of a
large part of the grain crops of the
United States. Deepening the lake
channels has made 1t possible to use
larger vessels, and with the increased
size of the carriers have come lower
freight rates A review of the past
forty years, covering the principal
events in this growth of cheap trans
portation, has just been published by
the department of agriculture in 4
bulletin of the bureau of statistics.
In discussing improvements in lake
channels, the report shows that in
1871 the ordinary depth of water at
the shallowest points between Buff
faIo and Lakes Superior and Michigan
was about IA feet, while in 1909 this
depth had been increased to q feet.
Deepening the channel was accom-
panied by the building of larger boats.
During 1S71-1S74 the average size Of
the vessels built on the lakes was 1913
tons. of 100 cubic feet gross measure
ment and the average size of those
built in 1906-1909 was 1882 tons. The
lake boats built now are more than
six times as large as those built when
the channel was feet shallower.
While the average cargo Of grain
received at Buffalo for season may
be less than one-half that amount,
100000 bushels is not an unusual car
go to be shipped in one vessel.

| One ship cleared from Duluth on
Nov. 4. 1908. with 41S,93O bushels Of
wheat. and sixteen days later cleared
again from the same port, this time
with a cargo of 462,S74 bushels Of
tiaxseed and oats Each of these loads,
If carried by rail. would have required
ten trains of about forty cars each.
Freight rates charged for carrying
grain on the lakes are much lower
than In the days Of shallower chan
nels and smaller boats. The average
rate for wheat from Chicago to Buff.
talo had decreased in 1906 1909 to less
than one-fourth the average for 1871
1875. and in the past several years a
considerable number of shipments of
wheat have been carried over the
thousand -mile routes from Chicago
or Duluth to Buffalo for as little as
l cent a bushel. Railroad freight
rates on grain have declined also dur
ing the period covered by the depart
ment's bulletin; the average rate from
chicago to New York by all-rall
routes has been, for the past several
years less than one-half of the car
charges Of thirty five or forty years
ago. During this time, the size OF
the boxcars, the kind used to carry
grain, has increased three-fold.
The larger cargoes of the lakes do
not pass through Welland Canal. its
depth being but two thirds that OF
the shallowest passages between Buff
falo and Chicago or Duluth. SO the
shipments to port on Lake Ontario

Duluth and Superior, Chicago. and

more years, only about per cent was
carried to Lake Ontario or the st.

To ports east of Niagara, even al

rates on wheat are much higher than
to ports on Lake Erie. From Chicago
the rates to Montreal have for the

The Way to Bring Down an Overhead
incoming Bird.
One of the cardinal rules Of the old
time shooting school cautioned the
gunner against ever trying TO stop an
overhead incoming bird. but to wait
until ii had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what Is un-
'doubtcdly the harder shot OF the two.
Ii is surprisingly how difficult II Is
,or some sportSmen to successfully
score on their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game In
any other Node OF flight will habituaI-
Iy balk at this shot and acknowledge
their inability to make IL.
Yet once its principle is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
OF an overhead incomer IS as easy as
anything can we'll be. The miss Is al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
Ing under and behind the bird. and
there Is but one way In which the err
cor Is to lac avoided
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
over him, then, bringing up his gun,
follow IN fIOm behind. cover the bird
and swing in ahead Of 1t and. main
tanning the same rate OF speed. press
the trigger The instant the bird is hid

Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the "wishboner the

are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt of the strokes OF the
wing that turn the creature in it's

Few OF us appreciate the strength
OF the stroke of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by blow OF its wing. and
In like manner the wing be2tings Of
the larger birds are dangerous If they

therefore, n large bird is in the habit
Of making Sudden turns to right or
