10 INSTRUCTIONS EXPECTED
Democrats Of That State Believe
SUrest Method for Their Party
to Achieve Victory Is by
Nominating the Governor.

Maine is another state that can be
considered safe for the nomination Of
Governor Woodrow Wilson for the
presidency, according to the assurance
Of Representative Daniel G. McGilli-
,euddy OF Maine, who has come to be
considered one Of the ableSt men in
the house in the short time since the
sweeping Democratic victories in his
state caused his election to the Sixty
second congress and that of a Demo
.cratic governor and two United States
senators. With Governor Wilson as
the choice Of the national Democracy
for the presidency, the Maine con-
,gressman believes that his state will
give the party its electoral vote.
1t is the confident opinion Of Con-
tgressman McGillicuddy that a major
,fty Of the Democrats of Maine will
Endorse Governor Wilson for the pres
tdential nomination, notwithstanding
the fact that New England has can
ididate whose name VIII be presented
to the Baltimore convention.

the old Roman style of road building,
which consists in eliminating the tun-
neIs and loading it on the surface by
all means.
The distance between the two men,
toned stations is only 81 miles, but
as Darjeeling is 1000 feet above the
starting point one may easily realize
the difficulties which the engineers
had to overcome, the more as
toothed wheel railway was out OF any
question because of the high cost.
These difficulties have been overcome.
In order 10 have the machine take all
the inclines and only on the surface,
the gage OF the road was established
to be but two feet wide The rails,
however. were of a heavy construc-
ton and attached to ties which were
laid at very short distances from each
other. In order to augment the adj
hesion OF the train to the rails the
locomotive has been constructed as to
develop 80 horsepower and is kept as
low as possible to have the center
OF gravity close to the ground, so
that the danger of tumbling over
when taking the sharp curves was
eliminated The bufferless cars are
altogether six feet high and they are
so coupled that they touch each other
in a semi-circled plane. The car is
nothing else but bottom Of boards
fastened to the car frame, the top OF
it being formed by canvas supported
by bamboo sticks. Four small benches
are the seating accommodations of
this miniature railway.
in riding on this road, one has the
impression of being on merry-go-
round. The train winds its way up
the mountain and it is wonderful to
see what curves are taken by the
small engine
The road ends in a very narrow
pass, and at once the engine turns
around and pulls the train up an in
cline which has not been observed by
the travellers. If hill is in the way,
the road winds itself up by way OF
serpeDtines. but always without 60
ing through any tunnels. This is done
in a very curious way; the locomo-
tive hauis the train over one winding
OF serpentine, switches it, and in
stead of hauling the train, the loco
motive pushes it from the back. On
the second winding the train is again
switched over and the engine comes
ahead TO haul the train. This is done
until the top Of the mountain is
reached
In such a manner the difficulties
are overcome ingeniously and the ex.
pensive tunnels are eliminated This
toy railway, as it is called, is certain

Among Them.

Carlisle. Pa.-That a misunderstood.
ing of the white mans motives has
been one Of the causes of the Indians
backwardness in adopting civilized
methods and of his fighting educa-
ton is being demonstrated here at
the government Indian school, where
II members of the Hopi nation, sun
wOrshipers and pagans, who came
here five years ago virtually as pris-
oners of war, are now preparing to
so back to their people and spread the
doctrine of the new life, which they
have gladly accepted.
A half-dozen years ago the Hopi ma
ton was causing considerable trouble
in Arizona. Internecine strife had di-
vided the tribes and a troop of United
States cavalry was sent post haste to
the Keam's canyon region to restore
peace. After pow-wows and confer
ences, in which the Indian leaders
sternly refused to adopt the white
mans education, twelve of the most
obstinate "stand-patters" were taken
as prisoners and sent from the Mo-
qui agency, in Arizona, to the Carlisle
Indian school. The party arrived here
January 26, 1907. All of these In
dams were members of the Oraibi
band of the Hopi nation Among them
were several priests and head men of
the tribe.
When these sayages arrived at the
Carlisle school they would have moth
ing to do with any of the other stu
dents, and began TO live their lives
apart. In less than ten days one of
the Hopis indicated by gestures that
he would like to have kis hair cut
like the other students, and on the
same day another Hopi was discover
ed shipping off his own locks with a
hunting knife.
From the moment the Hopis showed
their first interest in education they
advanced rapidly and became eager
in their desire to learn more. They
entered the lowest grades in the class
rooms, but as they were attentive to
their studies, were kindly disposed to
their teachers, and caused not the
slightest trouble, they climbed stead.

Medium Yorkshire Type.

(By f. A. BURNETT. Director. Nebraska
Agricultural Experiment Station.)
The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin No. 1913 with
the title, "Fattening Hogs in Ne
braska."
Part gives the results of fattening
hogs on corn and alfalfa hay. In the
experiments reported, the hogs we're
fed the following rations. The proper
tons Of alfalfa and corn are given by
weight.
Corn and alfalfa hay in a rack.
Corn 8 parts, chopped alfalfa 1 part.
Corn 8 parts, alfalfa-meal 1 part.
Corn only.
Corn 3 parts, alfalfa-meal 1 part
Corn 3 parts, chopped alfalfa 1 part.
Corn l part, chopped alfalfa 1 part.
Corn l part, alfalfa-meal 1 part.
The hogs were given all the feed
they would eat twice daily. Part Of
the experiment was repeated three
times and part Of it four times. There
were ten spring shoats used in each
lot. The feeding period began about
November | VIXEN the shoats weighed
1876 pounds each, and continued for
three months at which time the aver
age weight ranged from 100 pounds

decreases the profit per pig during the
fattening period.
The substitution of % parts emmer
barley, wheat, or milo, for corn, in a
ration containing 80 parts corn and 10
parts chopped alfalfa, increases the
cost of gains and decreases the profit
per hog during the fattening period
excepting emmer, which in this test
only increased the profit per hog. The
wheat increased the gains but de.
creased the profit. The emmer also
increased the gain. Barley and milo
decreased the gain as we'll as the
profit. Milo was worth the same price
per bushel as barley in this test.
The results of one test indicated
that a bushel of corn was worth as
much as bushel and a half of cane
seed when fed with alfalfa for fatten.
ing hogs.
Where fall pigs we're wintered and
turned on alfalfa pasture in the spring
there was more profit per pig from
those grown out largely on pasture
and then fattened than from those fed
out more quickly.
Four seasons records show that old
sows being fattened on corn and al
falfa pasture gained pounds per head
daily, ate 1855 pounds of corn for 100
pounds of gain, and gave a net profit
of over cents daily.

results were the average prices for
corn and for hogs at the North Platte
Substation during the six years pre-
ceding 1911. The price of corn was
AZ cts. per bushel. The price of hogs
when put into the experiment and
when taken out was $500 per 100 lbs
The price Of alfalfa hay was $500 per
ton, of chopped alfalfa $1,000 per ton
and of alfalfa-meal $500 per ton. The
only item of cost taken into account
is the feed. The labor and investment,
being about equal for all lots, Is not
considered.
The corn was ground for all the
hogs. The chopped alfalfa and the
alfalfa-meal were mixed with the
ground corn. All feed was moistened

the first of November until the first of
February, or three months.

With corn worth so cents per bushel
ration of one-fourth alfalfa and

Where alfalfa was fed in the rack
or where chopped alfalfa or alfalfa

more than a pound of corn.

The relation of fat to milk Is one
of the partly unsolved problems of
dairying, says The Chemist. We do
not know why, absolutely, but We
know that cow will vary from day
to day. 1t Is sometimes due to fright
and unkind handling. If you take a
cow that is ordinarily quiet and run
needle into her, or hit her with a
club or disturb her tranquility in some
other way, the yield of milk will be
very much less for that milking. II
she has what is called a nervous tenn
permanent, and is very sensitive COW,
there will be very marked differ
ence in the yield of milk, and not
nearly so much fat will be produced.
The variation in the yield of milk is
greater than the variation in the field
of fat. | remember, writes Professor
Van Norman, the figures in one herd
in which one COW varied only. four.
tenths of one per cent. in a whole
year, while another varied as much as
three per cent. in her yield with no
apparent cause. Sometimes We, our.
selves, do not feel so we'll as we do
on other days. SO of the COW. She
may be very sensitive COW, and the
mixer may be little rougher on
some days than on Others and that
may have some effect. A multitude
