BRIDGES OF THE INDIANS
Structures Found In North British Co.
lumbia Are Built on the CAN'T
lever Principle.

Some interesting examples Of In
dian ingenuity are afforded On the
River Skeena and its tributaries in
North British Columbia, according to
a writer in Scientific American. These
waterways in their upper reaches flow
swiftly and for the most part through
deep ravines. AS it is impossible for
the Indians to cross them by means
of canoes they have resorted TO bridg-
ing.
Their bridges are interesting struc-
lures from the engineering point of
view, inasmuch as the cantilever prin-
ciple Is adopted. A bridge of this de-
sign spans the Bulkeley river where
it is about 120 feet wide, and the
height from the bridge to the water
level is about 80 feet.
1t is built of wooden logs, the logs
Of the structure being formed of single
stout logs varying from 60 to so feet in
length. The task of lowering them
into position must have demanded con-
siderable ingenuity on the part of the
builders.
They are buried some Is feet at
their lower ends and anchored by the
superimposition of masses of large
rock rolled and carried to the site. The
longitudinal members of the shore
spans are similarly buried in the
ground and dashed to the ends of the
diagonal logs.
These main members-correspond-
ing to deck Orders, are about 1870 feet
in length, and to either end the A
members Of the superstructure are
dashed. Elaborate cross bracing is
resorted to in order to secure greater
strength.
When the bridge was first erected
the different members were simply
secured together by willow thongs,
but when the British Columbian gov
eminent erected a more substantial
suspension bridge lower down the
river the Indians assembled and fol-
lowed the white mans operations with
grest interest. They observed how
the thick wire cables were slung and
anchored, and accordingly decided to
introduce wire into their W struc-
ture.
They procured the material for this
purpose from wherever they could and
introduced 1t in a most fantastic man.

How Much Water7

1t is a safe rule to provide five
pounds Of water for every pound of
milk that the COW gives. This will
mean hat at least IL gallons a day
should be supplied. Cases have been
known where a COW would drink 2b
or 80 gallons per day in the warmest
weather. Such a COW, however, will
produce 10000 or $4,000 pounds of
milk a year. The supply should be
as liberal accordingly in the winter as
in the summer. Always the water
should be pure and in the winter it
should be warmed to at least 60 de-
grees. 1t is cheaper to warm the wa
ter with a tank heater than to make
the cow do the work with alfalfa and
high price concentrates.

WAY OF FATTENING POULTRY
Chickens Must Be Fed Lightly at First
and Gradually Brought Along to
Full Ration.

A quick eye for the well being Of
fattening fowls Is Just as important
as with other stock, indeed, more so,
as with large numbers 1t takes a nan
who can rapidly, yet accurately. de-
tect when birds are getting off feed or
ailing. 1t is a lack Of this faculty that
causes many to fail with sheep and
smaller animals.
Crate feeding is carried on with only
six or eight birds in a crate, 30 that
each unit can be quickly looked over.
Milk feeding occupies but fourteen
days and ordinarily under seventeen
Indeed, there is, as a rule, no endeavor
to make old hens prime, merely to
flesh them a bit and often eight to
nine days accomplishes this. Milk
besides it's feed value helps the d.
gestive process. Chickens must be fed
lightly at first and gradually brought
to a full ration. 1t costs about nine
cents a pound for the flesh put on, Of
which ITO cents was for cost Of feed.
Growing chickens make more eco
nomical gains than hens.

r. r, MUST PAY DEMURRAGE
Washington State Commissions Order
Hits Car Shortage-ls for the
Benefit of Shippers.

The public service commission of
the state of Washington has promul-
gated and served upon the railroads of
the state reciprocal demurrage rules,
designed to protect the shippers of the
state, to expedite prompt movement
Of freight and to relieve car shortage.
These rules were prepared in re-
Spouse to a widespread demand on the
part of shippers and are similar to de-
murrage rules in force in other states.
Briefly summarized the demurrage
rules provide:
First-That shippers making appli-
cation for cars shall be furnished them
within six days and at Seattle and
other terminal points within three
days. When shippers request notice of
carriers as to day and date when cars
will be furnished it is obligatory upon
the railroads of placement of cars
Failure to furnish cars, or give notice,
subjects the carriers to demurrage
charges of 81 per day per car.
Second-All. freight rendered for
shipment must be transported at a
rate of not less than so miles aday,
except on branch lines and in case of
irregular service. Failure to so trans
port within the prescribed time SUBJ
jects carriers to reciprocal remurrage.
Third-Cars must be placed by car.
riers at accessible places for unloading
within "a hours after arrival.
Fourth-Consignees must be notified
within "a hours after arrival of freight
as to weight, freight charges, identify.
ing number and initials of cars. Fail

charges upon carriers.
Fifth-Shippers entitled to demur.
rage charges shall make written ap.
~plication therefor and carriers must
pay same within 80 days.
Sixth-All disputes between rail.
roads, shippers and consignees must
be referred to the public service com
mission for decision.

Pennsylvania Frog Hunters.

All the sport is not found In angling
for the gamy bass or speckled trout.
The frog season is now open and if
there is any sport that requires skill
it is catching frogs, says the Susque-
hanna Transcript.
There was a time when the twilight
soloists were taken any time during
the year, but since frogs were discov-
cred to be Of benefit to mankind, not
only as a food product but because
they kill embryo mosquitoes, 1t was de-
cided to have laws protecting them.
The frog season will end Nov. 80.
Nets are now being prepared, lamps
put In shape, gum boots tested to see
where a mouse or time has worn holes
through the rubber, and after dusk,
frog hunters throughout the surround
ing rural district will be seen vending
their way to the favorite frog pond or
stream.
Those who go for sport spend one
or two nights a week in search of the
greenbacks, and those who make a liv-
ing by selling them to restaurants.
cafes, hotels and families rarely miss
a night. This is especially the case
at the start of the season.
Veteran frog hunters do not reveal
their favorite places. There are many
who have been going for years, and
even their closest friends do not know
where they make the large catches.

Laying Drains.

In laying tile drains, Prof. E. o.
F1ppin Of the New York State Agri-
cultural college, says the main drains
should be large enough to provide for
future expansion. For the lateral
drains never use anything less than
three or three and one-half inches In
mends laterals not over 80 feet apart
and at a depth of two and one-half to
three feet. The denser the soil the
more shallow the drains must be laid.
In laying drains in clay it should be
done in summer, when the land is
dry, and be sure the clay is dried
out before 1t is thrown back In the
ditch.

KEEP MILK UTENSILS CLEAN
Ono Of important Things to Remem-
her Is to Keep Vessels Absolute
ly Free From All Dirt.

Every man, woman and child IN the
United States uses milk or milk prod
ucts In some form. Are you doing
your part to keep your milk clean
and theirs? One of the worst sources
of trouble is lack of cleanliness in
the care of milk utensils.
One Of the chief things to remem
Der is that milk utensils should never
be rinsed in hot water without being
first rinsed in cold water. If hot
water is used, milk that may remain
in vessel is very likely to be so hard
ened that II can with difficulty be
washed off.
Rinse first in cold water, wash In
hot water, using a washing powder
If desired, then rinse in boiling water.
In the summer, set utensils in sun
light to dry. The final rinsing In hot
water not only kills germs but so
heats the pals that they will dry of
quickly, thus lessening the chance of
rusting. 1t is economy to buy only
the best grade of pals, cans and
strainers. A rusty pail should never
be used or one in which the seams
BECOME slightly opened. .
A milk house aids very much in
the proper care of milk and milk
utensils. The size of the house, says
the Farm and Home, should be proper
toned to the number Of cows MIXED.
Some will find that a house as small
as 8 to 10 feet will be sufficiently
large. Such a house should have a
concrete floor, cement plaster walls,
or at least walls that can be readily
washed. a concrete, steel, or wooden
tank in which milk cans can be set
to cool, some provision for heating
water, a sink where milk utensils can
be washed, and enough windows to
admit plenty of light. In summer,
door and windows should be screened
