Not Suited for Cutter Service.

The Peary Arctic Club recently offered
to sell the Roosevelt to the Treasury
Department for the revenue cutter serV-
ice, to be used in patrol work i'll arctic
waters The engineers of the revenue
cutter service however. reported that the
boat was not built in way that would
make her serviceable in the revenue sefV-
ice nor could she be reconstructed 10
meet the needs OF that service.
If all the antarctic projects now being
pushed forward bear fruit there will soon
be three American expeditions cruising
below the frozen circle in the south. Two
expeditions are planned in competition
with the projected British expedition on
a race of discovery, and the third Is
scientific one. which will penetrate the
lower ice circle, but make no effort TO
reach the pole.

SEARCH FOR SOUTH POLE.
PROPOSED QUEST DISCUSSED
WITH COMMANDER PEARY.
Research Committee of National
Geographic Society Holds an
Informal Meeting.

Members of the research committee OF
the National Geographic Society met last
evening at the residence of Prof. Henry
Gannett. president of the society, and
discussed with Commander Peary, who
was invited to be present, the subject
of the proposed expedition to the south
pole, under the joint auspices of the So
ciety and the Pearv Arctic Club. The
subject will later be considered by the
committee in a formal way.
Up to the present the only proposition
that has been considered is that made
by the Peary Arctic Club to put the
steamer Roosevelt, which was Peary S
ship on his trip to the north pole. at
the service of the joint expedition, pro-
vided the society advances $4,000 toward
the expenses of the trip. 1t was stated
after the meeting of the committee last
night that the members of the society
regard the offer as d liberal one, as
the Roosevelt is worth several times the
amount which the society is asked to
advance.

WEST SIDE FARM TRAIN
State College Professors Will Talk
and Demonstrate Before Farmers
West of Mountains.

The West side Northern Pacific
Demonstration train under the aus
pieces of the Washington state college
will be operated from August 81 to
September s, inclusive, and will be
the most complete train of it's kind
yet operated by any railroad company
or agricultural college. 1t will consist
of one stock car, one flat car, three
large baggage cars and coaches for
the accommodation of the party in
charge.
The equipment covers in a very
thorough manner dairying, poultry,
horticulture, forage crops and soils.
The livestock car will carry good and
poor dairy COWS for demonstration
purposes, and first class beef type
COWS and representative individuals
of some of our leading breeds of
sheep.
A milking machine is carried and
will be operated at each stop. Milk
testing outfits will be shown in use,
as we'll as the milk scales, and milk
samples will be tested at each stop
for those who bring them in. In addi-
ton there will be a complete outfit
for the modern farm dairy, including
separators, coolers, bottlers, san
itary pals, etc. Also some very inter
esting charts and records.
The horticultural equipment will
consist of modern power spray out
fit, up to date pumps, complete ex-
hibits showing good and faulty meth
DDS of pruning and trimming, while
each step in the different systems of
grating will be shown and explained
and the faults of each pointed out
and suggestions offered. In like man
Ter the process of budding will be full
ly eXemplified. Complete outfits of
| orchard tools and appliances will be
installed in the horticultural car
and packing of fruit will be given at
tention. The famous horticulturist,
Mr. j. L. Dumas, and Prof. Briefly
from the Experiment station will be
in charge of this section.
One orchardist in Eastern Wash
| ington said the demonstration train
had been worth fully $500 to him
alone, in the past two years

The Philo System Explained
BY Rev. Il. b. Templer

y great many people all over the
country are becoming interested In
what is known as the "Philo system
of poultry keeping The general idea
of this system is to so plan and ar
range the poultry plant and work
that everything is compact and cas-
lily cared for. 1t is to get the greatest
possible results from the fowls kept,
and to keep them where there Will
be but little work attending them
The Philo system is to have but few
eggs in an incubator, few hens in a
coop, with the coops made hen size -
The incubator holds but fifty eggs,
and one woman runs hatchery
with | believe fifty or sixty of these
| machines, in preference to the larg-
er ones, getting better results. The
| coops are made three by six feet,
which accommodate six fowls. One
side of the coop is for a scratching
pen with a board floor and the other
ground for these coops is sifted and
made free from large stones, so that
summer and winter they may be
Spaded. This winter there were but
one or two mornings that / was I'M
able to spade up the dirt inside my
coops. Then the thermometer regis
do h,
roofs of these coops are made of a
wood frame covered with Paroid roof
ing, which l find to be a splendid
roofing for this work. Directly over
the birds is a frame covered first
with One-inch wire Meeting and then
with muslin, giving perfect venti-
lation. The roof hinges and is never
entirely closed. Even during the cold
winter nights it is left open an inch
or so, and as it warns up it is left
up about four inches at night.
1t is practical. / find that this way
of housing poultry is practical. l am
using it exclusively in my poultry
work and my hens have laid since
last fall right through the winter
and are doing nicely now. l have
about 200 little chicks housed in
their brooder coops that have been
brought up in a fireless brooder.
Not one chick in a heated brooder.
They are strong, healthy and nice
ly feathered out and are growing
very fast. 1t will mean that this year
l will have two-pound broilers in
ten weeks without a doubt. | have in
the past used old methods, but new
er had the success which | am now
having with this system.
