FEEDING FOR FERTILE EGGS
Let the Hens Balance Their Own
Rations.
p. K. EDWARDS.


Fertile eggs must come from vigorr
Gus, healthy birds. and as feed and
exercise are essential to vigor we must
see that these two elements are always
provided. We should bear in mind.
however. that time spent in feeding
and watering makes serious inroads
into our profits. and hopper feeding
reduces this expense. but with the use
OF hOppers has come the habit Of mix
ing the dry feeds and grain for our
fowls according to certain definite
ideas OF balanced rations. Recently
those of us who have studied the hab-
its of our fowls have been forced to
conclude that. as far as the hen is con-
cerned. there is a wide difference be-
tween a scientifically balanced ration
and a palatable one.
Individual taste Is as marked in
fowls as In human beings. so II we
wish our flock TO be healthy and con-
tented we must cater TO their tastes.
This the writer has seen done in a sim
pie. inexpensive way by the use Of
hoppers and automatic feeders sus-
pended by two wires from the rafters.
These hoppers were round. and the ad-
justment was ball bearing. so that

COURT DISMISSES
SISTER R-IN-'AW
WHO MIKES UP

In City Court today, Della Manning
charged Catherine Crumlish with as
sault and battery. The testimony
was that on Monday evening Mrs
Crumlish came to Delia's house, at
No. 22S Cherry street, and struck her
with her fist twice in the mouth. They
are sisters-in-law, and never had any
trouble before.
Mrs. Manning, in answer to James
Salisbury, who represented Mrs.
Crumiish, said she had been receiv-
ing threatening letters every day
from some one.
The trouble seems to be caused by
accusations that checks are coming
from Ireland to the prosecuting Wit
ness by Mrs. Crumlish's mother.
For the defense Mrs. Crumlish testi-
fed that she called on her brother on
Monday night, but she denied striking
the prosecuting witness. Mrs. Crumlish
said her brother cursed her and called
her names. Witness said that when her
brother came to this country he boarded
with her and Mrs. Crumlish furnished
the house when The family came here
last fall.
Mamie Wolf, who lives next door TO
the Mannings, said that on Monday
night she heard Manning using had Ian
guagc. Mrs. Katie Wolf said she also
beard the racket in the Manning house.
The case was dismissed because of it
being family row.

new BREAKS
INTEREST men
Pennsylvania Railroad Tests
Show Train Stops Can Be
Made Quick.
50 MILE SPEED Is
CHECKED IN 1000 FEET

Trainmen in the employ Of the
p, B. and w. Railroad Company are
much interested in the tests Of i'm
proved airbrakes conducted jointly by
the Pennsylvania railroad and the
Westinghouse Airbrakc company. The
results, which are the most recent
contribution to the science of air
breaking. are regarded as possessing
peculiar interest at this time because
of proposed legislation to enforce the
general use OF steel cars.
A train comprising IL cars, run
ming at 60 miles an hour, stores up
100000 foot-pounds Of energy.
sufficient to raise Il 120 feet. With
the brake equipment at present in
use, a train such as one described.
running at the speed mentioned.
could be stopped by an emergency
application within a distance of from
1000 to 1000 feet, according to the
truckrigging and brake shoe design
in use. The new tests, however.
demonstrated that by the improve
ments that are being exploited, the
same train, operated under similar
conditions, could be stopped within
1000 feet.
These improvements consist OF a
clasp-brake having two shoes for each
wheel, and a change in the position
OF the brake shoes, with reference to
the horizontal center line OF the
wheel. together with improved meth
DDS OF applying the airbrake quickly
and simultaneously, and at a high
pressure.
Moreover. the tests emphasized. as
las never been before, the possibili-
ties of improvement in efficiency and
economy In regular service operation
by proper attention to design and in
stallation, in order to permit the reali-
cation OF the flexibility OF improved
airhrake apparatus.
The improvements center in the elec
trical control Of the brakes. giving quick
simultaneous and responsive action. II
| this connection, too, it is noteworthy
that the electric control has opened tn,
way for maximum efficiency in practic,
OF improvements, in practically all thu
factors involved in airbrakc apparatus
! All this was covered in the develop
ment presented in The tests, which. il
turn. constituted a progressive develop
ment Of the airbrnke rigging and brak'
shoes, in connection with the scientific
study OF the airbrakes as whole.
Trains Of Is years ago we're stop
ped in about one-half the distanc,
prevailing in the operations Of tn,
present. The increased size anC
weight of equipment has brought en-
tirely new brake problems. but thes'
appear to have been solved by the i'm
prOvements.

after his daughter, Rebecca r. Ball,
aged n years, passed away. Both
will be inferred Sunday afternoon
from their late home. While Mr..
Ball had been in poor health tor two
years, and his death was not unex-
pected, II Is believed Il was hastened

swelling OF the throat about a month
ago. and never fully recovered from
the effects Of Il, which resulted in her
death on Wednesday. Mr.. Ball had
been III for about two years with a
complication OF diseases, and It was
regarded as a question of time only
when he would succumb to his vast
ing Illness
The death Of the daughter was a
great shock 10 him and he seemed to
'ow worse from Wednesday unit
death claimed him late yesterday. Mr.
Ball was a farmer with many friends
in the rural county. He is survived
by his wife, who was Miss Ella Ma
gargal, and by two sons, William T.
Ball and Harry e. Ball.
The funeral Of Miss Ball had been ar
ranged for Sunday afternoon from the
late home ut one o'clock. with services
in MarshaIlton N. =. Church. at

EoUIPPING A TRUCK FARM

JOHN W. LLOYD,
University Illinois.

The amount and kind Of equipment
needed for a truck farm will depend
upon the size Of the farm. the locality
and the kinds Of crops to be grown.
The foundation equipment in soil work
ing tools is essentially the same for
truck farm as for any other kind Of
farm. There must be plows, harrows
and cultivators suited to the type Of
soil to be farmed and harness and
wagons for moving the machinery and
the crops. Special tools for planting.
cultivating and harvesting particular
crops will also be needed. II early
crops requiring transplanting are to be
grown the equipment must include
sash. canvas and lumber for hotbeds
and cold frames.
II twenty acres Of truck are TO be
grown. consisting OF five acres early
tomatoes. five acres early melons or Gu
cumbers and ten acres cabbage and
celery. all Of which require transplant
ing. it will be possible. with careful
management. to produce the plants for
these acreages in two hotbeds and four
cold frames. each by 100 feet.
Tools Required.
The only special tools required FOR

would be single shovel or one horse
turning plow for furrowing out pre-

melons. a spike tooth cultlvator for the
