Wild Geese Delay Trains.

Wild geese congregating along the
right of way of the Nevada, California
and Eastern railroad running out Of
this city in the last week have inter-
fered seriously with the operation Of
trains. So numerous are the birds
that several times it has been almost
necessary to stop the trains that the
birds might not be run over.
The engineer has fastened their
flight by often blowing the whistle.
When the great flocks of geese rise
from the track the beating of their
wings can be heard distinctly several
miles away.
The geese have been feeding in
neighboring grain fields and along the
marshes of klamath lake. The lack
of sand on the marshes, which the
geese require as an aid to digestion, is
reported to sportsmen to have driven
them to the railroad, where sand is
used as ballast.-Lakeview (Ore) Dis

Poor Chinese Business Rule.

It is an established custom in
China that a new company must pay
dividends to its shareholders from the
first year of it's existence, and this
forms invariably a clause of the
articles of association. Some con-
Germs which fail to realize a profit
have to contract a high interest loan
in order to pay dividends in full. 1t
is this practice that compals COM
panies to contract loan after loan I'M
til they are plunged into helpless
state. Furthermore, when a new
company is established, it is from the
start tied down to system of COM
mission paying. In every purchase
as we'll as in every sale of the COM
pany commission goes with it. which
is therefore counted into every pay
ment and receipt, thus oecasioning the
need of an unnecessarily large amount
of capital

SO many eggs as your early-hatched
year-old hens will lay, but the num-
Der of poults that will live over those
of the younger hens, though the latter
be mated with two-year-old toms, may

Matched hens of this years hatch
should be kept over for the making
of the future good two-year-olds. Let
the turkeys roost in airy quarters un-
til the cold nights come, then give
them a shelter dry and free from
drafts, though they yet need plenty
of air One good tom will be sufficient
to keep over with seven or eight hens,
though good results are obtained by
keeping ten hens with one vigorous
male. When feeding up the market
s,.rkeys do not allow the breeders the
same ration. Breeders must be kept
only In good condition, never allowed
to get too fat.

ARMoRED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found II Of
the Greatest Value In Their
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare,
the armored motor car has proved ex-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and
mobile, it covers a vast amount Of
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most of the cars are incased
in light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
sixteenths of an inch to a quarter of
an inch, and that is impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire. All the vulner-
able parts lof the motor, such as the
radiator and steering gear, and in
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to Withstand the toughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than anyone would
expect. The cars carry a light arma-
ment-one or two machine guns so
mounted that they can be swung
through a complete circle-and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel superstTucture that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that is capped with domed roof.

mean an addition of 100000 TO 49,

Mr.. Estes stated that the mines

were running short and lack of trans

imperative in a short time. When
