weighs 26O tons and pulls a train Of
twenty-five hundred tons up a / per
cent grade. A double header will drag
the same load up even a per cent
grade. The engine is 112 feet long,
the cab extending nearly the whole
length. One man can operate it, but
another man is there in case of en-
ergency and to learn the operation.
The engineers have calculated that
the electric engine has these advanta-
ges as compared with the steam equip
ment:
1t operates with the highest effici-
ency in the coldest weather, when
steam locomotives often freeze.
1t returns by Regeneration" large
part of the power used in running up
hill. during the corresponding run
Gown hill.
1t requires inspection only once in
every two thousand miles of travel,
whereas the steam locomotive must be
overhauled at the end of each division.
1t uses no coal, requires no water
and has no ashes to dump.
It carries no tender and has no boil
er and viii run indefinitely at uni
form rate of speed.
1t reduces roundhouse tinkering to
the minimum and handles uniform ton
mage irrespective Of weather.
1t does away with fuel trains and
clears the track for traffic that pays
dividends.
The best steam locomotive has to be
oyerhauled after running 100 or 125
miles, whereas the immunity Of the
electric engine from this necessity-a
heavy advantage in operating eff
cheney.
A steam locomotive waiting at a
division point consumes so per cent Of
the fuel it uses in actual service,
whereas the electric locomotive when
idle consumes no power. The freeing
of the track from fuel trains is an ele-
ment of the highest Importance, espec-
tally in mountainous country where
double tracking is often impossible.

SHOCK YOUR CORN
OR PIT IN SILOS

THOSE farmers, who have not yet
built silos, should by all means shock
every acre Of their corn. This is i'm
portant, as the Chicago Breeders Gaz-
cite editorially says:
Next to the silo the shock offers the
best means Of saving soft corn. The
man who did not build the silo he
needs, because he figured rough feed
is abundant this year, will find the old
fashioned corn shock useful. If he
has much late corn he will find it a
necessity unless he is willing to accept
big loss on his crop. Most Of the
nourishment which finally gets into
the ear is found in the stalk and leaves
when the plant is immature. Even ripe
corn has only about two-thirds Of its
feeding value in the ear. The only
way to save the leaves, which contain
SO much feeding value, is to protect
them fom falling to the ground. After
frost kills green corn the leaves at
once become brittle. The first rain
loosens their attachment and they
drop off.
Corn that is cut promptly after
frost and shocked up will cure out into
good feed. If the corn is very green
the shocks must not be SO big as those
usually made from well ripened corn.
The whole crop will then make excel
lent feed for cattle.
Fattening cattle will not need any
other roughage, but to gain fast they
will require additional corn. Exper-
ience with frosted corn crops of other
years shows that such corn makes good
feed. A pound Of dry matter in it
has about the same feeding value as a
pound of dry matter in hard corn, but
stock do not eat enough OF 1t to gam
as fast. The man who has much Of
this unmarketable stuff on his hands
may well consider the advisability Of
putting it into the shock and feeding
it to cattle.or even to sheep for long
slow feed. With nothing but this
shock corn and little supplement
such as oilmeal or cottonseed meal
they will gain steadily and cheaply
but will require more time to get fai
than on ripe corn. Some time may be
gained by starting them on feed this
fall.

GEAR LIVES IN TWO
ROOM PALACE At FRONT

Petrograd, via London, Oct, 49,
The following authorized description
of the emperor's life at the front has
reached Petrograd:
Headquarters has been established
in small two-story house in white
Russia city, the name Of which is nee
essarily omitted. Emperor Nicholas
occupies two rooms on the second
floor-one is bedroom and the other
an office. On the same floor are min
lister Of the court, Gen. Baron Fred
ericks, and palace commandant, Gen.
Voekoff, each Of whom occupies sin
gle room. On the first floor are the
emperor's physician and various PEI
sons of his suite. The number of
servants has been cut to the minimum.
"At 8 o'clock in the morning the
emperor, attired in a field uniform,
walks to the Offices of the general
staff, accompanied by one of his Of
ficers. With Gen. Alexieff, chief of
staff, the emperor reads the reports
and issues orders until p. m. He in
forms himself concerning the condi-
tions on all parts of the immense
front, examines maps and discusses
events.
To the luncheon in the emperor's
quarters are invited the high military
officers and the foreign military OBJ
servers, altogether a dozen persons,
The luncheon is brief and simple. No
wine is served.
After luncheon the emperor chats
with his guests. Two o'clock finds the
emperor and Gen. Alexieff again occu-
pied with reports in the emperor's
private offices. In midafternoon the
emperor motors for an hour or tive
and then returns to work until dinner
, is served at 1880 o'clock. The dinner
is Of three courses and is less forma,
than the luncheon.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after
brief conversations with his guests
the emperor returns to his Office ant
works far into the night, Gen. Alexief
frequently going there for confer
enee. The general staff works nigh
and day.
