The government car is specially
equipped refrigerator car containing
cooled Gambling room and chilling
room. This car is the only one OF its
kind in existence 1t is equipped with
a gasoline engine which runs dynamo
for lighting the car, and centrifugal
blower for cooling the car by means OF
air drawn through ice and salt and
forced into the car through holes in a
false ceiling. The air returns to the
ice and salt bunker in the end Of the
car through false side walls. The
Gambling room in the car is equipped
with electric candles and resembles
very closely a commercial Gambling
room. Other types Of Gambling devices
are shown for use where electricity is
not available. This car contains also,
a new picking-frame and cooling rack,
recently designed by the department
for the dressing OF poultry.
These cars remain day In each
town visited, thus affording the farm
ers, storekeepers, dealers, and other
interested in the handling Of poultry
and eggs, ample time to visit the ex-
hibits and receive answers to their

to congress-: "In the midst Of unsur-
passed plenty in all the productions Of
agriculture and in all the elements Of
national wealth, we find the manu-
facturies suspended, our public works
retarded, our private enterprises of
different kinds abandoned, and thous.
ands of useful laborers thrown out Of
employment and reduced to. want"
These conditions continued until Blu
chanan himself in 1860 signed a pro-
tective tariff.
These facts, it will be seen, do not
accord with the statement of the rep
resentative from Pennsylvania.

POULTRY AND EGG CAR.

The United States department OF
agriculture, in cooperation with the
University Of Missouri and the Mis-
souri, state poultry board, has been
running, with the assistance Of vari-
GUS railroads, what is probably the
largest poultry and egg handling ex-
tension work ever before carried on in
this country.
From July 10 to August 26 twenty
eight towns were visited by the two
demon tration cars. These towns
were located on the lines Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Kansas City Southern,
Missouri and North Arkansas, Frisco
lines and Chicago and Alton railroad,
In central and southwest Missouri and
northern Arkansas.
This work was planned to assist the
farmers and poultry dealers to obtain
a better knowledge of their business,
to increase their profits and increase
the supply of poultry and eggs for use
as food for the consuming public. and
to prevent the large waste now exist
ing, due to faulty methods of handling
these products. To this end two de-
monstration cars were equipped, one
by the Missouri state poultry board,
under the direction of T. e. Quissen-
berry, director of the Missouri state
poultry experiment station; the other
by the food research laboratory of the
bureau CT chemistry. United States de-
partment Of agriculture, under the d.
rection Of DIR. M. e. Pennington. Il

and brooding devices, nests and other

The U. s. bureau Of agriculture Is
authority for the statement that the
farmer of today works only about
9.65 hours per day whereas the farmer
of score or more years ago worked
from IL to 10 hours each day. With
the number to feed increasing by leaps
and bounds and the working hours OF
the producer being curtafled, good
guess on one reason for the increased
cost of living can be made. The
farmer Of today makes more out OF his
9.65 hours of labor a day then did the
farmer who worked Is hours twenty
years ago.
