from H. NJ. Pierce. freight traffic
manager of the Northwestern line.
He telegraphed to the commission to-
day from St. Paul as follows:
We are doing exceedingly well for
this season of the year in furnishing
refrigerator equipment for the move
ment of potatoes from points on our
line to any point on the Northwestern
system. We are using our very best
efforts to obtain the necessary equip
ment for the movement of business
to points beyond the Northwestern
road"
G. f. Huntington, general manager
of the 500 line, telegraphed from
Minneapolis that his road had put
/ practically all available refrigerator
cars to hauling potatoes, and was
connecting lines.
The embargo which has been main
| tlined by the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway company upon the leading
/ OF coal equipment for points beyond
| Toledo has been lifted by that COM
pany for a period of one week. This
embargo was imposed because OF the
difficulty which the road was exper-
fencing in having its coal cars re-
turned by the Michigan connecting
lines, over which they were being
shipped. The interstate commerce
commission was today advised by
General Freight Agent +. ID. Hotch-
kiss of the Chesapeake & Ohio, of
! the temporary lifting of the embargo
because the Michigan connections
We're now returning the cars more
freely and it is hoped that the free
return movement of empty coal cars
will continue and make the relief per
manent-
! The commission is taking an active
interest in the freight car shortage
situation and has advised various
roads to tighten up their rules for
enforcing the return of cars, point
ing out that unless this is done there
will be a serious car famine which
may seriously affect business. The
free movement of coal cars is regard
ed by the commission as absolutely
essential, as a shortage of these cars
at this time Of the year would sent
up the price Of coal and deprive q
number of industrial establishments OF
fuel

coming this unevenness of tempera-
ture in a large Matching room b.
blowing air of known temperature
and humidity through the Matching
chamber. In 1908, when. while in
the employ of the department of ag-
riculture, he conducted Investigations
of the evaporation of eggs in cold
storage.
The cold storage engineer must
maintain an even temperature regard
less of the weather outside. He must
keep all parts of the room at an even
temperature or the colder eggs will
be frozen. He must maintain a Civ
en- rate of evaporation. Except that
it is a different point on the Their
mometer scale, these are the same
| problems met in incubation, and the
cold storage man had solved them.
The application of these same prin.
/ ciples seemed easy to Mr.. Hastings
/ Resigning from the government ser
vice, he tried to secure financial back
| ing. But the incubator manufacturers
were not interested.
Finally, in the later part of 1910
a small plant was constructed on the
Davis poultry farm in Brooklyn, n. Y.
and the idea fully demonstrated
This plant was not opened to the pub
lie. The summer following Mr.. Has
tings went to eastern Oklahoma. A

HAS MILLION Eco
CHICKEN FACTORY

Milo Hastings, formerly poultryman
at the Kansas state experiment sta
tion and who occupied a similar DO
sition in the United States depart
ment of agriculture, has established
a million egg incubator here, says a
Fort O'Connor, Tex, Dispatch. This
is the largest single unit chicken
hatchery in the world II accommo-
dates 10000 eggs at one time or
100000 eggs during the five months
Matching season.
The Bihn hatchery at Petaluma,
Cal, excedes the Port OConnor plant
in capacity by $1,000 eggs, as it ac.
commodities 10000, but the Bihn
plant consists of many unit incuba,
tors and is not a single incubator such
as Mr.. Hastings has installed. In his
chicken factory he has adopted some
novel ideas.
1t has long been evident that an in.
cubator in which many layers of eggs
are placed one above the other would
be economical. A number of early
eXperimenters tried to construct such
plants, but found the warm air rose
/ TO the top and the cold air settled
/ to the bottom.

Heivetius Otto. stated that be had dis
covered means Of preventing rain.
He built platform on which were
placed some huge bellows worked By
steam at n very high pressure. These
were supposed to blow away any
clouds gathered above. Otto main.

pluvifuge attracted attention. But 1t
never proved practicable. and after a
