Novel Irish Railroad.

One of the most novel railways In
Ireland was not long ago constructed
entirely by Cavan gentleman-Rev.
j. e. Preston, of Julianstown Rectory,
Drogheda. "The Rectory Railway" as
1t is called. runs through the rectory
grounds of the Rev. Mr.. Preston,
who must be congratulated on his
unique invention, which is complete
in every detail, having numerous
curves. with some steep gradients and
sidings. The total length Is about a
quarter of mile. First second, and
third class tickets are issued free
for use on the line In his spare
moments Rev. Mr.. Preston construct
ed the railway for the amusement of
his children, building the engine and
rolling-stock. and laying all the lines
and CROSSINGS with his own hands.
He has over five tons OF light rail
laid in his beautiful grounds, and can
carry some sixteen children passen,
gers, which Is source of great pleas.
ure to the young folks, and even
sometimes to adults. The railway Is
well put together, strong. and stands
the hard knocks to which It Is some
times subjected when a party OF
young people whom Rev. Mr.. Preston
entertains delight themselves In the
enjoyment of free railway trips.

UMBRELLA CASE OF VALUE
Idea Is to Match the Costume, and
the Vogue Is Rapidly Becoming
Fashionable.

Because of the tremendous vogue
Of velvets and the number Of Co.'S
tunes in that material that are being
made up, the velvet-encased umbrella
has come into being. Made on a
slender but substantial frame, which
folds closely, and covered with a silk
taffeta spread, the umbrella when
closed and encased appears like a
walking stick of velvet from ferrule
to top. A solid silver monogram
plate caps the handle, which, ten
inches down it's length, Is ornamented
with a double ring of silver.
Decided colors are now the smart
thing in silk umbrellas. All the fash
ionable shades Of purple, blue, mauve
and the new reds are in demand for
spreads, which are mounted upon
frames that press tightly about q
slender stick and give the convenience
the appearance of silken cane. This
fashionable fad is to procure unique
handle for the umbrella that Is car
ried with the tailored walking suit,
and while some of the effects are ar
tistic, others are actually bizarre.
Among the latter are the cat, parrot
and monkey heads in natural colors
with jewels for eyes. In the former
class are all manner of beautifully
carved handles of rare woods and
ivory, and when money is not an OBJ
ject, of jade, amber, rock crystal or
solid silver and gold.

little use save for pasture, but most
excellent for that purpose. On eighty
acres Of this blue grass the breeding
herd Is maintained during the pasture
season. The rest of the year they
spend cleaning up the stalk fields,
straw, corn fodder and other rough
feed of the farm, together with some
corn silage. They get little or no
grain, but convert the coarse feeds of
the farm into beef and valuable ma
nure
During the last FIVE years the calf
crop from the breeding herd has av-
eraged nearly 80 per cent. The calves
are dropped from April to June on
pasture. They are fed on grain dur
ing the summer, but run with their
dams on the blue grass, where they
grow messy coated, thick and baby
fat" They are weaned in October,
after first being taught what grain is.
After geaning they have a pasture

FRAGILITY OUT OF FASHION

1t is no longer fashionable with the

health. The scores of buxom, bright

While the shrewd buyer and care
full feeder of beef cattle may secure
profit from feeding cattle good bad
or Indifferent that he may be able to
pick up about the country, it is not
likely that he will succeed in even
turning off load of market topping
beeves from such stock. Cattle that
can be bought up about the country
are usually of the lower grades and
seldom return profit to their pro-
ducers, though, as stated before, the
man who buys them and finishes them
for the market may secure a profit
from them, says writer in the Wis
consin Agriculturist. The man who
desires to turn off market topping
cattle or those coming close to the
top prices must breed and grow such
cattle himself
Frank B. Beath Of Corning, Iowa, is
one of the men in the beef business
who breeds and grows his cattle and
turns them off in the open market at
high figures. Every year for the past
five years he has fed out bunch of
Hereford calves Of his own raising.
In recent interview with Rex Beres-
ford, beef specialist of the Iowa Beef
Producers association. Mr.. Beath
said: I'VE used to feed older cattle
and depended on buying them any
place we could pick them up. Five
years ago we got disguised with the
quality of the stuff we were able to
buy. Occasionally we got good load,
but the stuff we could pick up here
and there was mostly tag end, scrubby
stuff that did poorly for US and never
looked good even when it made US
money. We made up our minds we
would have good feeders, even IL we
had to raise them"
According to the Iowa beef special
list, the Beath farm consists of 266
acres. One hundred and twenty acres
of this is bottom land, partly wooded

New Idea In RailroadInq.

There Is in experimental use on a
Swedish railroad car holding forty
passengers run by combination OF
electricity and oil. The electrical
equipment is driven by DIESEL en-
CINE, consuming crude oil and is said
to show as high efficiency as gaso
line engines. The railroad line is a
short section of twenty-five miles, and
good speed of forty-five miles an
hour is obtained. AS usual, the en-.
CINE drives dynamo, so as to give
current for the car motors. The fuel
consumption is twenty-five pounds OF
oil, against five tenths to one ton OF
coal for a steam locomotive. and o
small amount of water is used.

The neckruff of ostrich is an as
sured favorite for the fall and winter
season. 1t is worn to best advantage
when the hat is trimmed to match.
With a world Of ostrich fancy feath-

These ostrich neckruffs are made
of long-fibred stock. generally, and set
close up about the neck. A hat to
match, with dropping brim, or a
shape which sets down on the head,
merges at some points into the ruff
and it is this that makes the effect
so good when the hat trimming Is like

Crepe Paper Gifts.

For those who cannot afford to ex-
pend very much money on materials,
there is nothing more satisfactory
for fancy work than the making of
objects of braided crepe paper. This
material costs but few cents, unless
ribbons and silk or satin are used in
combination with the paper. The
work is of the utmost simplicity, al
though the finished product appears
to be an imposing piece of work. One
does not realize just how easy it is
to fashion these crepe paper things
until one has started out to do the
work, and has the materials in the
hands,-Harper's Bazaar

all to themselves. Here they get corn
and cob meal, enough to keep the calf
fat in place and add to it little each
day. At this stage Mr.. Beath has
added each year to his bunch of home
crowns what calves of quality he
could pick up in the neighborhood.
All are fed well and kept coming until
cold weather commences and pasture
Is gone.
For the first two years corn and cob
meal, clover hay, corn fodder, and cot
ton seed meal were depended upon
to continue the process of making the
calves into beef. Money was made
on that basis, but for the last three
years corn silage has been an impor-
tant factor in producing this result,
About December I the silo Is opened
and from then on until grass comes
again the calves get about all the 81
lage they will eat. Indeed they eat
some even after grass comes. The
daily silage ration Is from twelve to,
fifteen and sometimes as high as
eighteen pounds. With the silage they
eat from five to six pounds day of
corn and cob meal, until along in
March when the corn is gradually in-
creased to as high as eleven pounds
day. Some cotton seed meal Is also
fed toward the close of the feeding
period, beginning at half pound of
the meal per head and gradually In
creasing to pound and half a day.
Usually at marketing time, which
comes In June, there are two loads Of
calves to ship. They weigh around
800 pounds at from eleven to thirteen
months of age During the past five
years they have gone below the $50
mark but once Q91D. They have
averaged better than $50 head for
the five years. Every year they have
made a profit.
Many of the breeding cows are,
still young, growing as well as pro-
ducing. The older COWS are fattedi
and turned off as their usefulness de-
clines or they fail to produce calf.
1t is safe estimate that the average
yearly cash income for each COW in
the herd is better than $50.
While there is nothing startling In
this method of beef production. there
apparently is sure profit in it. The
COWS are cheaply kept, the pasture
land is we'll employed and the ele7
ment of speculation involved In buy
ing high priced feeders is avoided.
The rough feed and coarse folders are
all utilized and converted into market
able beef and valuable farm manure.
Little corn and no roughage is bought.

and fed there so that little fertility
