is a necessary adjunct in the appi'
ance intended for use on railroads.
He says:
ANY new device which is radical
change from the regulation appliance
which may be in use is always sure to
excite comment, both favorable and
unfavorable, and the result is that
10th lines of argument bring such a
device prominently to the notice OF the
general public. 1t Is a we'll known
fact that frequently unfavorable COM
ment is productive of much good, as
1t very often brings to light some or
ganic defect which may have been
overlooked, and remedies and i'm
provements naturally suggest them
selves to the inventor. In regard TO
the rail-joint, it may be said briefly
that it is the result of many careful
experiments, and Mr. Barnhill, the in.
ventor, has submitted the results of
his experiments to a number of emf
lent experts, all Of whom agree that
the problem of forming a perfect rail-
joint calculated to meet the growing
demands of railway service has been
completely solved. 1t has been tested
and retested and improved until the
present product appears to be a per-
feet article in this line Of endeavor.
1t precludes the clicking of the roll
ing stock in trarsit, as we'll as the bat
teriRg of the rail ends. The track is no
more liable to spread than elsewhere.
A low joint is impossible, as one rail
can not spring below the other. Fish
plates, bolts and nuts are necessary.
Reinforcements at the joints add
strength where it is needed, and the
laying of rails costs less than by
some other methods. 1t is only neces-
sary to raise the rails eight inches to
lock or unlock, and in laying new
track the rails can be laid upon their
side and locked very easily, and then
set over right side up. The use of
bent wires is no longer necessary
where this rail-joint is used"

Shadows of Sound,

AS there are shadows that interfere
with sight so also there are shadows"
that interfere with hearing. This fact
is we'll known to pilots When, as in
dense fogs, the boat is guided largely
by the sense of hearing, there is a
constant risk that these so-called
shadows" may cut off the sound of
the fog horns.
In certain cases the sound waves
seem to Jump" like bounding balls.
At the distance of mile the sound
is heard perfectly, at two miles it may
be impossible to hear it, while mile
further on it may begin to be audible
once more.-Harper's Weekly.

SEAS0NABl.E WORK IN
THE POTATO GARDEN
Experiment With Poultry Manure
and Superphosphate Favors
the Former.
(By A J. LEGG.)

Last spring ! put small handful
of dry poultry manure in each hill I
planted my potatoes except four pieces
of rows.
On these l used a 14% superphos-
plate in the hill at the rate of about
$50 pounds per acre.
| noticed throughout the growing
season that the potatoes MANFRED with
poultry manure were growing much
faster than the others. The soil was
was the cultivation
When the potatoes reached maturity
I dug "a hills of each of two rows
lying adjacent to each other. One
was fortified with poultry manure
and the other with superphosphate
The potatoes from each "a hills were
carefully weighed with the following
results.
Twenty-four hills with superphos
phate yielded 20.5 pounds.
Twenty-four hills with poultry
manure yielded 35.75 pounds.
Difference in favor of poultry ma
nure 1925 pounds.
The 5ariety of potatoes planted wa'
common No. l. All of the potatoes
were practically free from scab as
only noticed one scabby potato and i
was found among the ones grown
with poultry manure.

DOG DIES RACING WITH TRAIN
Express, but Collapsed After
Game Struggle.

Meteor. a blooded racing greyhound.
that was the pride and pet of his mas
ter. Lucian Gray. of this place. ran
himself to death the other afternoon
in six-mile speed contest with New
Haven railroad locomotive. Gays a
South Norwalk Comm dispatch to
the New York Herald.
Mr.. Gray boarded a Boston express
for Stamford, believing his dog. which
had followed him to the. station, would
go back home. But as he sat by a
window and the train moved out he
was surprised to see the hound bound
ing alongside. glancing up affection
ately.
The master tried to raise the win
dow to order Meteor home, but by the
time he was able to do so the train
was going so fast and the noise was so
great that the dog did not understand
and kept pace CALAMITY with the car.
please stop the train! / love that
dog of mine and Pm afraid he'll be
hurt" Mr.. Gray begged of the conduc'
couldn't be stopped until it reached
Stamford
For two miles the contest of muscle
and steel went on evenly, watched by
scores of passengers. Then the hound
began to drop back. Mr.. Gray walked
rom car to car, trying to order the
dog home. AS he reached the rear
platform of the last car Meteor was
passed by the train.
Surely the dog would give up then.
the master thought, and he yelled a
final order for the hound to stop. But
the roar of the train drowned his
voice.
Passing through Rowayton and then
Darien, the latter town six miles from
the starting point Mr.. Gray could still
glimpse his pet struggling along des-
perately far back in the distance. But
little beyond Darien he saw Meteor
fall, then roll over couple of times.
The master got an automobile as
soon as the train stopped at Stamford
and sped back to the outskirts of Oar
len. There he found little crowd
around the dog.

pearance, and 1t Is commendable in
us that We do, but thiG is not all be-
cause we must seek those ewes that
will all lamb at about the same time.
Unevenness in a band of lambs
works a hardship upon the individual
worth of the lambs because they are
hard to Judge by the buyer and he
bids low to make himself safe. Native
lambs are described on the market as
the up and down Sort" and the fact
that they are so reflects upon the skill
of the native producer in the eyes OF
the buyer. Our cousins on the range
are compelled, through force OF cir
cumstances, to have their lambs born
al, within a period Of about 10 days,
because the Landing grounds will not
maintain the band of ewes for long
period. Ewes, failing to bring lambs
within this short period, are sorted
out and sold for mutton. AS a re-
suit bands of range lambs come upon
the market in condition and weight.
and while they do not sell IS well as
the best native lambs, they average
much better sale as s. whole. Even
ness is one of the things in their IA
vor. The range men, though reject
ing the ewes that failed to conceive
in Is days, have built up bands Of
ewes that breed quite regularly, and
1t is quite possible, l think, for the
native flock owner to do something in
this direction. With our small fiocks
we cannot be SO rigid as the range
men, but we can do much toward Sc
lecting these ewes that will bring
forth their lambs at about the same
time How can this be done? By
selling off the ewes that persist in
breeding late and by not reserving
the extremely late born lambs for
breeding ewes. A eve once started
to breed late, nearly always contracts
the late breeding habit, and it is hardly
worth while to attempt to her reform.
Late born lambs are much more like
ly to breed late than the early born
lambs. We can avoid the late appear
ance of lambs by using the most Wig
orous, active rams possible. Here
is something that should never be
overlooked. What is demanded of the
ram, besides his individual excellence
is a short, hard, servtceable season
IF he is not capable Of this, it is
unfair to the eve flock to lay the sin
of long drawn out lambing season
against them alone. And he will not
be capable of short, har dservice un.
less he is of the highest type in consti
tuition and vigor. In selecting a ram
tc sire markct lambs, the leading ques
ton the breeder should ask himself Is
DO want lambs like this Sheep
If you do, and If he is vigorous and
we'll bred, you will most likely be re
warded in SO far as the sire himself
can reward you.
