The litter may be chopped hay, straw.
or alfalfa. Alfalfa is favored by the
Petaluma people as rule, but L am

less brooder chicks, but to feed 1000
or more of the hungry little ones is
something of job. A good way to
feed them a moist mash is to load up
Is or 20 tin pie plates (Which can be
purchased for 30 cent a dozen) with
the mixture outside the house, then
place them around on the floor at
equal distances as quickly as possible.
The tins should be collected as soon
as the chicks have finished their meal,
and scalded and set away for the next
day. The dry mash, which is before
them all the time, is best fed in
narrow troughs with lip made of
narrow strip of wood to prevent waste.
Dry mash does not down easily in
hopper. This dry mash, by the way,
is not nearly so concentrated as that
fed to laying hens. 1t consists for
the most part of bran with some
middlings, a little corn meal and just
sprinkling of soy meal, and is made
stronger as the chicks grow. They
can be fed some animal food daily or
every other day-if daily then it is a
very light feed indeed. No better
animal food can be given them, then
hard boiled eggs run through a food
chopper, shells and all and mixed
with rolled oats until it barely hangs
together. On my place from 1900 to
1000 eggs are set in the incubators
every 10 or II days and the infertle
eggs tested out on the fourth day
make several feeds for the chicks.
Then, while waiting for the next lot
of infertile eggs, we feed finely chop
ped boiled liver, or failing to get that
for them a chunk of lean beef, boiled
and chopped finely. The incubator
eggs, when tested out on the third
or fourth day, are to all intents and
purposes fresh eggs and a much
healthier proposition than cold
storage egg.

mate with the rest of these for produc-
ing table geese. The best mating for
this purpose is the Canadian gander
with the African goose These produce
the most desirable grade of mongrel
geese, the most desirable for table pur-
poses. 1t is diff cult to succeed with
the mating of wild Canadian gander
and an African goose, but when once
this has been accomplished, they will
remain constant, and should never be
separated as long as they live. One
or two pairs of these could be kept
on any farm and would raise a suf-
ficient number to supply any family
during the winter. If the care neces-
sary to handling these is not willing
ly displayed, it would be better to
keep a few of the Toulouse or the
Embden.

Railroad Climbs to 1855 Feet.

The highest railway point in the
world is generally supposed to be on a
branch line of the Antofagasta & Bo-
livia railway, which reaches, an alti-
tude of 15,809 feet above sea level In
the magazine Peru Today this distinc-
tion is claimed for the Morococha
branch of the Central railway of Peru,
which reaches an altitude of 1856
feet and has the highest station in the
world at Ticlo (the junction with the
main line), 1866 feet.
The maximum grade on the line, ex-
tending from the port of Callao, is AZ
per cent. This railway is of standard
gage, while the Bolivian line mention
ed has a gage of 21a feet
It is reported, however, that a
branch of this latter line will extend
to an altitude of over 10000 feet.

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, a1as the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light.
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes vel
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

and that of the engineer driving the To-
comotive together with the number
of locomotive. Besides this, there
will be a dozen details in connection
with the record of the car. The num-
Der of men whose minds have, in one
way or another, been occupied in the
handling and recording of each car
during the year would, if called to-
gether, make a small army.
Keeping the record of cars is an es-
sential part of railroad work, as from
these records the earnings of the diff
ferent cars are computed every
month, and remittance is made to the
owners.
Almost every railroad handles as
it does of it's own. A car on a
road not owning it is called a ''for-
eign car Of these the mileage must
be accurately kept. The keeping of
the record of foreign cars on any of
the large roads is greater task
than keeping the records of it's own
cars.
1t is one of the rules of the road
that car delivered to one road by
another shall come back to that road
at the same point. This is called the
home route" for the car. Exceptions
to this rule are of course often taken,
but not usually, unless special in
structions are issued from the car
record Office to that effect
When, cars are detained an unrea-
sonable length of time on a foreign
road, the road owning the cars sends
what in railroad language is called a
tracer" A tracer is simply a list
giving the number and initials of the
cars, the dates on which they were
last given to the road, and an urgent
exhortation to have them returned
to the road they were received from,
or sent home direct The road to
which the tracers are addressed sends
them back and notes thereon the last
record Of each car.
The car record Office of large sys-
tenn is very busy place, especially
in the autumn and winter. Every
day it receives great piles of mail
matter, consisting of interchange re-
ports, showing cars delivered to and
received from other roads; junction
cards, giving the movements of the
roads cars on other roads; and
tracers and letters in general con-
cerning cars.

Time Saver,

On some of the western roads where
stations are further apart train crews
are supplied with portable telephone
connections. The train dispatcher,
with his eye on the chart before him,
knows of caurse, or is supposed to
know just where every moving train
on his division is. If he wishes to
communicate with a freight train, say
before it reaches a station, he stops
it by setting the danger signal at the
next siding the train would reach. A
trainman makes connection with the
telephone system and is instantly in
telephone communication with the
train dispatcher.
This in actual practice has been
found to save a great deal of time, ex-
pense and overtime charged. The
conductor, for instance, might have
received orders to sidetrack at some
point until certain train passed him.
The dispatcher, after sending that in
formation, learns that the train to be
waited for is itself detained and per-
haps will be detained for hours. There
fore by stopping and talking with the
conductor in midprairie as it were, he
tells him to go on about his business
and saves overtime charges and freight
delay
Nhere is one thing about this inno-
varion which trainmen like. Those
who are injured and incapacitated
from trainmen's work have heretofore,
if they can still perform any labor,
been put on a crossing" as it is
called. That is, they are flagmen or
gatemen. Now they are employed
where the telephone system is used
as train dispatchers.

WIRELESS WAVES STOP TRAIN
Recent Invention Of Canadian Looked d
To to Prevent Many Ca
tastrophies.

Wireless electrical waves have been
adapted to the stopping Of a fast mov-
ing train on the Canadian Pacific road
with great success. Hundreds of per-
sons stood by and saw powerful en-
gine drawing a train of II cars, with
the throttle wide open, running at 45
miles an hour, brought up with a short
turn just about as a mustang might be
brought down with lariat 1t was one
of the most remarkable feats in cleo
trical engineering, and the engineer
sat in his cab open-mouthed, unable to
understand why his train was brought
to a sudden stop, while the putting,
painting engine was "alive." A wire
less wave of electricity was the means
by which the brakes had been applied
on the II cars, and the big engine was
powerless.
The automatic train control system
used in the demonstration was invent
ed by Frank w. Prentice, a Toronto
railroad man, says an Ottawa CORE
spondent of the New York Press. 1t
is peculiar story of how he was led
to work out the scheme of automatic
train control. Thirteen years ago a
friend of Prentice was killed in
head-on collision and he was so wor-
ried about it that he dreamt of the
tragedy for several nights. Then came
to him in a dream the idea of placing
wireless generator on the van to
provide automatic control He awoke

has been working it out ever since.
Now he has it perfected and it is be-
lieved to be success. By means of
switch the cars of train can be
"braked" instantly, although the steam
power may not be shut off. The Prem
tice invention, it is believed, will elm
mate the head-on collision, and rail
road men who saw the demonstration
became enthusiastic.

BEST VARIETIES OF GEESE
Toulouse, Embden, African, Brown
China and Wild Canadian Are
Most Desirable Breeds.

The most desirable varieties of
geese for domestic purposes are the
Toulouse, Embden African, Brown
China, and the wild Canadian, for
cross-mating with these. Where but
small space is at hand, it is advis-
able to limit the number to two vari-
eties. The Toulouse has dark or gray
plumage, the Embden pure white; the
African gray; the Canadian is al
most black and white. In the case of
ducks, the ratio of one male to four
or five females will prove successful,
while with geese, the ratio should not
exceed one male to two or three fe-
males.
The Canadian variety always mates
in pairs. 1t is used largely to cross

A Woman's Letter.

Women, it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter
There is always yelled meaning
Woman makes use of letter just
ias she employs glance or a smile,
in a way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
"a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed, just like the letters of some
honest grocer, who writes, 4 send you
five pounds of Coffee because he
really does send you five pounds Of
coffee"

china,s "Iron Wire Snake -

Dr. Kinnear of Foochoo tells of the
wonderful iron wire snake" of China.
These little, hard, tough snakes wrap
themselves tightly around the fingers
of men working in the gardens and
stick and squeeze until the finger
sloughs or rots off. They also choke
off and kill the tails of cattle in the
very same WY. Popular belief seems
to be that it is almost impossible to
remove then when once wrapped
around part. The iron wire snake
is about six inches long, shaped like
a common fishworm and only about
as thick. DR.. Kinnear says he has
seen a specimen, but has not done any
experimenting with his own fingers
for the sake of science.

BottomIess Bottle.

In order to overcome the difficulty
of cleansing milk bottle thorough
ly, says the Scientific American. a
"bottomless bottle" has recently been
invented. The device consists of a
tube formed like bottle, but open at
each end, so that all parts of the In
terror are readily accessible. When
the bottle is to be used, parafin
paper disk is fitted into the larger end
of the tube to serve as bottom, and
is held securely by means of stiff
spring metal strips. After the bottle
has been filled it is closed in the usual
wss by means of paraffined paper
cap. The caps and bottoms, being
made of paper, may be discarded after
usa and new ones nEay be employed
with every fresh use of the bottle.

Grade Crossings Unpopular.

While the elimination of grade cross
ings adds but very little to the in
comes of the roads, yet three distinct
advantages follow, viz: that of saving
nearby residents from the shock of the
horrible blasts of the locomotive wha-
tie, by making it possible to keep to a
higher schedule of speed, and, greater
than all, lessening the loss of human
life.
While the burden of the cost of
these Improvements falls upon the
railroads their proportion being 65 per
cent, yet there is not railroad, in
the country but what would like to see
every level crossing on its lines elm
mated, and were they not restrained
through financial necessity the task of
abolition would be undertaken immedi-
ately.
