The reports showed that there was
a big gain in membership since the
convention of two years ago, and
that there are at present 1900 courts
scattered through 3s states of the
Union. There are 100000 members
belonging to these courts,
Following are some of the things
of importance to the order done at
the convention: Proposition to estab-
lsh a national Forester publication
reported on ravorably by committee
and referred to. new supreme council
for action; committee on tuberculosis
sanatorlum for the benefit of MEM
bers of the order afflicted with the
white plague continued and press
committee established to spread lit
erature on the prevention and fight
against tuberculosis among the MEM
Ders of the order; appointment of
national organizers by the members
of the supreme council whenever they
think necessary and In what ever
number il Is considered advisable;
proposition to raise the rates of the
order defeated after the supreme
councils auditor had compared the
standing of the order under the pres
ent rates with other big organizations
of a similar nature i'm the United
States, and showed that such n step
was unnecessary. Fractional discord
was not apparent at the convention.
1t is planned to wage a vigorous
campaign during the next two years

Many Years a Section Man.

John Daniel Forte. sixty-eieht
years old has been boss of the
Wheeling mo } section of the Bur
linston railroad for thrity-four years
having been assigned to it April 1,
1875, and held it since then. He
began driving team OH construction
in 1887, when he was fifteen. With
the exception Of three years in the
army, his service with the road has
been without a break. Forte does
not make that exception, because
he says his army service Was in the
road, driving away bushwhackers
who sought to interrupt traffic. In
point of service, Forte is entitled to
distinction Of the longest record on
the line across the state. Next to
him, as far as known. is Foreman
Allison of the section at Shelbina,
who began work in 1862. AlhsOn's
son, Felix Allison, is engineer of the
Chicago-Missouri limited fast train
between Chicago and Kansas City.
Forte is in actual, vigorous every
day service. He is as strong as
any of his men, and takes as much
pride in keeping his section straight
as youngster just promoted to be
boss"
Mr.. Forte is not thinking of re.
firing for many years yet. His
men think 4 great deal of him. Elk

Mining for Coffin Planks

One of the most curious industries
in the world is the business of min
ing for coffin plsnks which is
carried on in Upper Tonquin, a por-
ton Of the French possessions in
Southeastern Asia. In a certain
district in this Province there exists
a great underwood deposits of logs,
which were probably the trunks of
trees engulfed by an earthquake or
some other CONFUSION of nature at
comparatively recent period.
The trees are a species of pine
known to the natives, and also to
some extent to European commerce
as "namhou." The wood is almost
imperishable and has the quality,
either through it nature or as the
result of its sojourn underground, of
resisting decay from damp. This
quality makes it particularly val
liable for the manufacture of collins,
and for this purpose it is largely ex-
ported to Europe.
The trees are often a yard in
diameter. They are buried in sandy
earth, at a depth of from two to
eight yards, and are dug up by ma
tive labor as demand is made for
them

Poultry Notes.

The cheapest incubator is not
always the most economical. Sc
cure a larger machine than you
will need for first matches, as a
large machine as rule is easier and
safer to operate than a small one.
With a large machine either a large
or small hatch can be made.
A dry board floor is the best for
brooder chicks early in the spring.
Do not allow the little things to run
on the wet and cold ground. Wet
feet will soon send chicks to the
graveyard.
Make the floor of the brooder
house perfectly tight, so that no
feed will fall through cracks and
reach the ground to draw rats. 1t is
best to feed chicks only what they
will clean up in a few minutes, re-
peating the feediLs about five times
a day at first,
A new style of chick drinking
fountain is on the market, and it is
sanitary and efficient in every way
as we'll as being exceedingly sim
pie. 1t consists of a shallow gal
vanize1 circular iron pan in the
bottom of which is fastened a brass
cap to fit the top of the standard
mason jar. A mason jar of any
size is filled with water, the cap and
pan screwed on, and all inverted
to form the fountain The jar being
of glass, the amount of water sup
ply can be seen at all times.
The so-called fireless brooder can
be heated by placing in it jugs OF
other vessels of hot water, or heat
ed stones or bricks. The vessels OF
hot water or the hot stones will re-
tain their heat much longer than
usual and the inside temperature of
the brooder be more even if they
are covered with bagging or other
cloth. Change the hot jugs every
morning and evening, supplying
others. or filling the same with more
hot water. The older the chicks
and the farther the summer is ad
vanced the less heat and protec'
ton will be required. Provide ven,
tilation at all times.-Ex.
