and unstable, and where the slopes of
the cut were steep and 100 to 800 feet
high, the weaker rocks crushed down
to flatter slopes. Whenever the slope
got flat enough, the sliding stopped.

Mr. Macdonald calls attention to
the fact that one is apt to forget that

than four million tons per square mile

He adds that the geologic conditions
were not sufficiently considered in the
first plans for digging Culebra cut.
As the strength OF the famous Gatun
dam has been brought into question
on a number of occasions. Mr. Mac
Donald refers to it at some length.
at was found that the Gatun rocks
are relatively solid and compact and
suitable for foundations for heavy
structures. However, some writer's,
even recently, have affirmed that the
Gatun rocks would soften into mud
when Gatun lake filled, and thus the
locks and dam would sink their foun-
dations and be damaged or destroyed.
Opinions of this sort spring from a
vivid Imagination and not from facts.
"If the weight of Gatun lake is CO.
ing to force water into the Gatun for
nation and cause it to soften into a
semi-mud that will allow the dam to
sink, then all the islands in Gatun
lake and all the hills around it,
which are of the same formation.
should also have their bases softened
the same way, and sink into the
depths. Reports that the Gatun dam
and locks are in danger from sinking
have not the slightest foundation on
geologic data"

WHlTEWASH THAT WILL LAST
Formula for Making Covering Used
by Government on Lighthouses
Maintained Along Coast

To make the whitewash which has
been used for more than ten years in
the White House at Washington and
on the lighthouses maintained by the
government along the COASTS, take
half bushel Of unslaked lime and slake
IL with boiling water. Cover during
the process to keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through fine sieve
or strainer and add to it a peck of
salt, which previously has been dis
solved in warm water; 3 pounds of
ground rice boiled to thin paste and
stirred in while hot X pound Span
ish whiting and / pound of glue pre-
viously dissolved by soaking in water
and then hanging over hot water. This
is best accomplished by putting in
small pail and hanging in a larger one
filed with water. Add gallons Of hot
water to the mixture, stir well, and let
stand few days covered II should
be applied hot for which purpose 1t
can be kept in IA portable furnace.

MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Quality That Recon-
mendS the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sired-5arred Where Egg Pro-
duction Is Chief Item.

t6y PROF. IL l.. KEMPSTER Missouri
College OF Agricultural
The Light Brahma is the Oldest and
perhaps the best-known and most non
ular of the archaeological chickens.
Size is the quality that recommends
the Light Brahma. Where large and
slowly maturing fowls are desired, the
Light Brahma has no superior. but the
sloWness of maturity is very objection
able in the pullets, which, together
with the fact that they are not very
heavy layers when matured, practi-
cally bars this breed where egg pro
ducti0n is the chief item.
There is no other breed of fowls that
has the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahma. These fowls are close
feathered like the Langshans, but are
larger and not so long-legged They
are not as heavily feathered as the
CochinS. They are very graceful in
appearance and carry themselves in a
stately manner The back on both
male and female is very long and
broad. There should be a slight rise
of the back with broad sweep at the
base of the tail. The birds should be
erect and well placed on their legs.
Abundant toe feathers is also very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard Of
Perfection as a guide, the following
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications Of the Light Brahma
fowls, when being judged according
to the Standard of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cocks
over three pounds, cockerels over two
and half pounds, hens ana pullets
over two pounds less than standard
weight. Nuture hooks also disqualify.
