Roads Can't Stand Increase.

The railroads have taken the position
that such an increase is neither war
ranted by conditions, nor within their
ability to pay, having regard 10 all Of
their obligations.
Failing to force the railroads 10 meet
their demands. the firemen ordered that 2
strike vote be taken. The strike ballot
pledged the men TO walk out II 50 advised
by theiT leaders rather than accept diSln-
terested arbitration offered by the rail-
roads.
Prominent railroad men said yester-
day that. judging from the apparent
nearness Of the strike when the engi-
neers declared in favor OF It and the
averting of it at the last moment.
there was stall hope that there would
be no strike Of the iremen.
The railroads then as now would not
agree TO arbitration under the Erdman
act and the situation looked hopeless
until it was agreed on both sides that
the demands Of the engineers should he
arbitrated by a committee Of seven.
The situation in many respects. -
said a well posted man. is an exact
counterpart of the situation i'm the case
of the engineers. when the railroads
and the engineers. as far as human
knowledge could find out had reached
the end of their negotiations for good.
Yet the demands were srbitrated and
In strike was averted.
with the case OF the engineers IS a
precedent there is no reason to assume
that arbitration of the demands of the
firemon is hopeless.

Fat, except cream and butter,

PROFIT IN GEESE AND DUCKS
Fowls Are important Adjunct to Farm
and Farmers Living Near Water
Should Raise Them.

Those living close to water should
raise geese and ducks. They will get
a large part of their food from the
streams and swamp lands. requiring
very little grain during the summer
months.
Toulouse geese are hardy, early
layers and prolific. often raising two
broods OF goslings a year. The young
early take care Of themselves on good
pasture and grow rapidly. They should
have oatmeal made into mash daily.
and afterward few oats or barley
scattered over the grass late in the
evening. BY careful feeding they grow
very fast and by Christmas have been
known to weigh 20 pounds each. Emb-
den geese grow to large size and are
said to be nearly equal to the Tou-
louise variety in early maturity.

The best location for a duck farm Il
on tidewater stream or cove, where
there is constant succession OF sea
food with every tide. If given little
house upon the shore and variety OF
grain at the evening meal they will
come home regularly every night
without further trouble. The eggs
are mostly laid very early in the morn
ing. The ducks should be kept shut
up in the yard until they have laid
their eggs. The Picking and the In
dian Runner are the most prolific lay
ers. The feathers Of the Picking duck
are OF the best quality. white, with
creamy shade. The feathers command
a good price. 1t is not necessary to
have much water for ducks, yet it is
true that ducks will get large por-
ton of their living out of the water
Ducks must have a grass range and
plenty of fresh, clean water to drink,
and they should also have a trough OF
water to battle in If there is no stream
handy.

tanned BLACKS BY KINDNESS
Who Manages an Island on tho
Australian Coast.

]. Cooper manager OF Melville is
land, on behalf OF f. o. Robinson, the
lessee, was In Melbourne this year
Thirty-two years ago he went across
the Australian continent, south to
north, with horses. Ever since he has
been in the north, prospecting, stock
hunting and buffalo shooting.
Has shot and skinned countless buf.
falos. Lost count years ago as to how
many thousand. In the earlier days
all this hunting was on foot, but now
IL Is on horseback. Horsemen dash
into the herds and lay out the buff
faloes.
Cooper has administered Melville
island for many years. He has for a
long period been the only white man
on the island among numerous blacks.
Yet those blacks were reported to be
desperately ferocious. Sir G.. Bremen
tried to make an English settlement
there in 1924. He had soldiers. but
the natives drove the party away.
In 1892 Robinson leased the island.
Subjugated by kindness, and indeed
had practically no other weapon. The
island is OF 100000 acres, together
with Bathurst island, separated by
long narrow strait, fordable at one
end. At the other there Is a harbor
fit to receive war fleet. Bathurst
is about five hundred thousand acres,
and the natives roam over both.
They number about five hundred.
They have successfully repulsed the
Malayan and every admixture. APP
parently a separate type to the Aus
tralian in many respects.
About. seventeen thousand buffaloes
on Melville island, and at least two
hundred thousand on the mainland of
Australia All descend from sixteen
buffaloes placed by Bremen on the is
land and sixteen on the mainland.
II is stated that buffaloes has swim
across the intervening thirty miles.
Melville island Is only that distance
from Port Darwin. What use
force could make OF it! The natives
had never touched buffalo till
Cooper came Now they have as much
beef as they can eat.
The island is splendidly watered
with ever newing springs, which give
rise to fine creeks, and there are
uple OF rivers. Altogether well
g.assed and timbered, with numerous
fertile valleys and much arabic land
