DISHES WASHED BY MACHINE
Electric Apparatus VIII Operate 40
Fast az Dirty crockery 10
Placed on Rack.

A motor-driven dish-washing ma
chine capable of cleansing 1000 to
$500 dishes per hour. its output being
limited only by the speed OF the oper-
ator In loading the dishes. Is de-
scribed In the Electrical World
Magazine.
A wheel of metal reyolves slowly
half immersed in tank OF hot soapy
water. and on this wheel the plates
cups and saucers are Graded In
spring clamps during the process OF
washing. BY means OF a cam ar
rangement each cradle is automatic
ally opened by the time 1t reaches the
position uppermost on the wheel
where, one at time, the wheel re-
wolves. conveying the dishes down
into and through the soapy water
where two high-speed propellers
serve to create strong current over
the surface of each plate.
Each dish thus receives an individ-
ual washing, and as the large wheel
revolves at the rate of abou. three
times a minute single plate Is I'm
mersed and being vigorously washed
during ten to fifteen seconds. AS the
plates emerge from the soaped-water
solution, a cam-operated valve is
opened and sprays them thoroughly
with hot clean water.
Another cam automatically opens
the cradle, in succession. allowing the
plates to slide down onto a conveyor
which separates the fat dishes from
the cups. discharging the latter onto
one shelf and delivering the plates to
a slowly rotating rack wheel. from
which they are taken by the atten'
dant. The plates come from the ma
chine so warm that they are quickly
dried by evaporation. Drains are ar
ranged so that the large tank can DC
emptied and flushed. while the add
ton OF the fresh rinsing water con
stantly renews the contents OF the
tank.
The entire device can be driven by
a motor to one-horse-power rating
which operates through silent raw
hide pinions, chain sprockets ant
worm gears. Several Of these ma
chimes are in use In large hote
kitchens. and the record on prelim
mary test of one of these practical in
stallations was the washing N 17,OO'
pieces, nicking only two.

CHECK LEAKAGE OF CURRENT
Experiments Made in Italy to Prevent
Accumulation of Salt on High
Tension Wires.

Experiments have been made In
Italy to discover the best form OF in
sulator for high-tension transmission
lines which run near the sea. 1t Is
found that in the vicinity of the sea
a thick layer of salt accumulates on
the insulator, and serves as a con-
ductor to cause leakage of the current
to ground, says the Scientific Amer
lean. The Italian experimenters have
discovered that the incrustation forms
chiefly on parts which are not pro-
tected from the wind and rain. The
ordinary insulator for high-tension
purposes consists of number OF pet
ticoats or bells. In which the salt ac'
cumulates to a considerable depth
For this reason 1t was found best to
provide an insulator with an almost
fat bell, which would be so exposed
to the weather that the crust could
not form to any harmful extent. In
sulators of this type were used with
perfect success over period OF
eighteen months on a 25,000-voit line
Under tests in the laboratory they
withstood $4,000 volts dry. and 10000
in a heavy rain.

BUTCHER BIRDS DIET.
Eastern Variety Consumes Moth

Consumption Of crasshoppers Far Out
weighs Harm Done to Other Birds
and BeetIes--capable Of
Doing Much Good.
By f. e. L. BEAL.)

The southern butcher bird In some
of its numerous forms, Is found over
much of the United States, and is
especially common on the Pacific
coast. All the forms retire southwark
at the approach of winter and in
many localities are replaced during
the cold season ny the northern
butcher bird, which comes down from
the north and winters in the United
States.
The butcher bird resembles a bird
of prey in form of beak and to a GER
tain extent in food habits, but 1t
has no talons such as enable the true
birds of prey to seize their victim
and hold it while tearing 1t to pieces.
For the investigation of the food OF
the southern butcher bird 124 stom-
achs OF the western sub-species were
examined and So of the eastern. The
western bird showed 2.5 per cent. OF
vegetable substances in their stomachs
but the eastern ones contained moth
ing but animal matter. The animal
portion Of the food of western butcher
birds consists of SO per cent. spiders
and a few snails, 2 per cent. and YER

FEEDING AND CARE OF GEESE
One Of me Cheapest and Easiest Of
All Domestic Fowls to Raise
Method of Management.

Geese are one of the cheapest and
easiest of all domestic fowls to ralse,
says the Farm and Freside. They re-
quire little shelter at any time, and
II given plenty of pasture, will gather
the largest portion of their food from
the fields. They are very easily and
quickly fattened for market and bring
very good prices. This is the meth
cd for managing breeding and market
geese: Never mate over two females
to each gander. Never use females
less than two or ganders over four
years of age. They are allowed to
run in a pasture where they have
plenty of grass to eat and water to
swim in. In winter and during the
laying season feed them lightly the
following ration: Bran, four parts;
shorts, two parts; cornmeal, one part;
and in winter cut clover, steamed,
four parts, is added A goose will lay
80 to 40 eggs In a season, II she Is
allowed to sit. The eggs require 30
days for incubation, and invariably
match well.
Goslings are removed from the In
cubators as soon as dry. and placed
in brooders where the heat for the
first "a hours is 80 degrees. After the
first "a hours the heat is reduced
daily until the goslings are ten to fif-
teen days old Beginning the third
morning after Matching the goslings
are fed as follows. four times daily.
by measure: Bran, one part; rolled
oats, one part; cornmeal shorts. one
part. This mixture Is dampened with
skim milk until 1t will crumble. Grass,
grit, and drinking water are always
before them.
Water is given in fountains. so they
cannot get into 1t. They are fed as
mentioned until they are eight weeks
old, when those for market are
closely confined to be fattened. and
fed as follows, three times daily. all
they will eat: Bran, two parts;
shorts, one part; oil meal and beef
scraps, one part; cornmeal, one part.
dampened until 1t will crumble.
Whole corn is frequently given.
Green food. grit and water are always

tebrates IL per cent. The stomachs
OF the eastern forms show 6S per
cent, spiders per cent, and verte-
brates 2S per cent.
The difference is undoubtedly due
to climate, the western bird being
able to find insects all the year round,
while the eastern one gets very few
during the winter.
While the southern butcher bird
eats few birds and some useful
insects. its diet is on the whole very
much in fis favor, as the consumption
of grasshoppers far outweighs the
harm to birds and beetles. AS a
feature of the landscape, and as lend
ing animation to rural scenes, the
shrike, or butcher bird, in California
is a pronounced success, and. while
not so numerous In the east, 1t Is just
as attractive and Is doing the same
good by its food habits.

ALL NECKVEAR PRETTY

Separate Gulmpe and Collar Seems to

of the Most Satisfactory
Materials to Use.

This is the heyday OF the separate

the woman who does not like to sew
or who does not know how to give
her handiwork the right style. the
shops show separate guimpes ana
collars of all sorts.
One of&the prettiest pieces OF new

attached a wide square of ecru net,

The front closing is effected with

finishing touch worth noting.

ing shape if 1t is carefully ironed. A
form of net guimpe which bids fair
to gain warm weather popularity
shows round neck, deeper in front
than in back, thus avoiding the ugly
decapitation line shirred on two
cords.
Net guimpes, well made, without
sleeves can be bought for so cents
each. The easiest to adjust are
shirred on elastic. which fits any one
and holds the guimpe smooth and
securely.
When buying cheap net guimpe
avoid shadow lace designs II you
want the guimpe to retain the design
after it is washed In some of them
the shadow design is put in with
short threads, which are pulled out
when the lace is washed. A good

FEEDING SILAGE IN SUMMER
Missouri Expert Says II Is Cheaper
Than Blue Grass Pasture-Forma-

Dean Mumford OF the Missouri col

ment that cows can be maintained
more cheaply on silage than they can
be carried through the summer on
bluegrass pasture where the land
costs about 500 per acre and is suit
able for growing corn.
He says that there is very little
pasture land where COW and q calf
can be pastured on less than one and
one-half acres, but it is entireiy pos
sible to get twelve and one-half to
twenty tons Of silage from one acre.
A COW and her calf can be carried

of clover hay and thirty-fve pounds
OF silage per day as well or better
