when the pullets are first taken from

of this kind ever slip into breeding

EGARDLESS of the breed Of
poultry a man is raising or the
N nurpose for which he is breed
ing them. whether for the purpose of
sunplving market eggs or market
pO1itrv. or for selling, eggs or poul-
trv for breeding purposes, the most
in5Dortant feature of his work is the
growing of the pulets. On this de-
Dends the success of his undertaking
for without good pullets we can never
expect either good layers or good
A little neglect during the pullet
age of a bird means slow growth,
weakened conditions, understood hens,
poor LAYERS and worthless breeders.
The consensus Of opinion among
breeders IS that the quicker pullets
are grown to laying size the better
this I do not wish to be understood
TO saw that a pullet should be urged
to lay at a very early age but that her
growth should be pushed to the ut
most and after attaining the proper
size her production of eggs can be
looked after especially. At five
months of age a majority of a flock
of pullets if properly cared for viii
be of laying size and producing eggs
at six months All should be laying
and those which are not should be
culled out.
OF course it is easily possible to
bring pulletS to laying when four
months Of age but they are not suffi-
GENTLY developed a. this age and the
eggs are small. More than that this
early laying tends greatly to stunt
the growth of the fowl and to deYel-
CD her into an understood hen, not
worth very much either as a breed
er or a layer. The body of a pullet
should be well grown before the ma
turity of the egg organs and with
proper system of feeding this can be
absolutely controlled. The feed should
be balanced for the production Of
bone and, muscle and in this south
western territory no fear need be en-
tertained lest they become diversified
which is almost as bad as to have
them understood. Feed them all they
will eat and give them all the range
possible. If they are necessarily yard
ed provide scratch pens for them into
which most of their grain should be
thrown, exercise being "slne qua
nom in the growing of hardy pro-
ductive pullets. OF course pullets on
large range get exercise enough with
out the use of scratching pens. Wheat,
bran. meat and bone are important
items in the ration of growing pull
lets. and for fear they will not eat
enough of the ground bone it IS wei
to have it powdered Ozone meat) ana
mix a little in all mash whether Wet
or dry given them Nothing Is more

and the heavy work here quickly re-
duced them to matchwOod. Those now
employed are mighty trucks with beds of
plank so thick that they might almost
form the logs for a cabin. The trucks
are nine feet wide and forty feet long,
with a heavy plank wall as high as your
waist running along one side OF them.
The wall Is backed by supports of hard
wood and iron, and it is against it that
the plOws work when dragged BY the
cable to throw off the loads. Each car
viii hold 40 tons. and some of the
rocks which drop down upon them from
the steam shOyels weigh eight or ten
tons each.
Others are so heavy that it is impossi-
bic to move them after they are on the
car, and they are broken off there with
charges of dynamite. 1t takes heavy
material and good workmanship to with
stand such traffic, and the cars must be
strong throughout. As I looked I saw
some men LAYING a floor upon one OF
them They used 60-penny spikes, and
drove them into the wood with a -sledge.
4 little further on they were repairing
the steel cars which are dumped by COM
pressed air. These have air tanks be-
meath them, which are connected with the
compressor on the locomotive. The en-.
gineer touches a button and the air
shOYes up one side of the car, and the
great masses of earth and rock roll out
on the ground. The doors of the steel
cars are another improvement made
here at Panama. The wear and tear
is so great that thew have to be rein
forced with 70-pound steel rails. The
cars are so strong that the rocks can
be dynamited on the cars if they are
too large to 90 through the door open
ing.
In the Locomotive Works.
All sorts of repairs are made on cars
and locomotives here at GOrgona. The
shOD has a record of having repaired
1900 cars in 10 months, and at the
same time having made heavy repairs on
about 500 mlOadeTs. 500 spreaders and
40 track shutters. It builds new track
shutters as WELL and it is fully equipped
for repairing locomotives and all other
rolling stock. The locomotives as they
come into the shops are stripped of their
rods and other outside equipment. The
next operation is to take out the driving
wheels.
The shops have no large overhead
cranes. such as we use in the states, so
they have an invention of their own
consisting of a drop pit above which the
locomotives stand and the wheels are
removed bv compressed air. 1t used to
be that the engines had to be lacked up,
and 1t took several hours to get the
wheels out from one engine. As it Is
now a fun set of wheels can be removed
in 80 minutes. There are other arrange
