Peat Fine for Locomotives.

In Sweden experiments in the use OF
peat powder on locomotives of the
state railways have demonstrated that
as heavy trains can be pulled and as
good speed be made where this fuel is
employed as where anthracite is used,
according to official statement. The
statement declares that the powder
can technically, as we'll as economical
ly, take the place of anthracite as fuel
for locomotives. The railway direc.
tors have decided to undertake the de.
velopment of this class of fuel by two
different methods for purposes Of com.
parison. Two experts have been re-
quested to give complete estimates Of
the cost Of preparing a certain bog for
the manufacture of peat powder, to-
gether with estimates of running OK.
penses, by the respective methods.
The bog selected Is said to be that at
Hasthagen, about one and half miles
from the station at Vislanda, with an
area Of about 500 acres.

BIRDS CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Many Mishaps on Railroads Have
Been Traced to the Actions Of
the Feathered Tribe.

Some peculiar difficulties on rail-
roads are caused by birds. says Lon
don Tit-Bits. A fireman on the engine
of a passenger train from Cardiff to
Fishguard, after passing Peterstone
station, while looking out through the
engine spectacle glass for signals. was
injured by an owl which flew against
the glass and broke 1t, causing a piece
of glass to enter the fireman's eye.
The train was quickly stopped, medi-
cal attendance secured and later the
man was removed to the hospital. The
injury. however. was so serious that
the unfortunate victim of this singu-
lar occurrence has lost the sight Of
one eye and the sight Of the other Is
jeopardized. A short delay from a
most exceptional cause occurred on
one occasion to the 1920 a. m. passen.
ger train from PaddingtOn to Worces-
ter. When the train was near Pang.
bourne rook flew against the front
of the engine, striking the pipe Of the
vacuum brake and causing the pipe to
become detached from the plug. This
admitted air to the brake pipes, caus-
ing the brakes to be applied, thus stop
ping the train. At Cardiff station the
4:45 q. m. express, Paddington to Car
marthen, was one day delayed owing
to a swarm of bees on the platform
hampering the railwaymen's opera
tions.

GOOD DOGS SPREAD
SEVERAL DISEASES
Towser Has Been Guilty of Car
rying Germs Of Rabies, Hyda-
It'd, Favus and RingWorm.

That good friend Of the farmer, the
dog, will have to be looked after more
carefully, II he is not to do as much
harm as good on the farm. According
to bulletin issued by the United
States department Of agriculture, Tow
ser has been found to be a carrier of
such diseases as rabies, hydatid, ring.
worm, favus, double-bored tapeworm.
round worm, and tongue worm. All
Of these are diseases which afflict hu-
man beings Occasionally, also, the
dog carries fleas and ticks, which in
turn transmit bubonic plague and the
deadly spotted fever.
In these days of the foot-and-mouth
disease, too, farmers should see to 1t
that their dogs do not bring home the
fatal germs. or, II they have the dis
ease on their own farms, they should
take pains to prevent their dogs from
carrying it to their neighbors' farms.

FOUR CARS
BIG GiRDER MADE SERIOUS DE-

Resources Of the Rolling Stock OF
Great Line Taxed to Transport
Mass Of Steel From the
Foundry to City.

A steel glrder Of such length that
1t was necessary to use four steel flat
cars in shipping it was recently sent
from the shops at Steelton, Pa, to
Chicago, where it is to be used in a
railroad bridge spanning a railroad
and a street. This girder Is 131 feet
9 inches long and 10 feet 6 inches
high, and weighs SO tons. The angles
placed in the corners at the junction
of the web and flanges form one OF
the unusual features Of the girder.
The legs of these angles are inches
wide and rs inches thick, and each
is made of one piece running the full
length of the girder. They are said
to be the longest angles Of this size
ever rolled. Particular attention was
given in the shop to seeing that the
girder was built with the right end
forward so that 1t could be loaded,
shipped and used in the bridge with
out confusion.-POpular Mechanics

comes thickened and rough. Where
a hog is much affected the carcass
should be condemned for food.
This kind of mango is readily trans

is difficult. Since there are some
who believe hog cholera may be trans.
mitted by these and other external
parasites, such as lice. 1t is well to
keep a lookout for hog mango.

EDUCATE OR TRAIN
HORSE when YOUNG
Under Average Farm Conditions
Draft Colts Are Not Handled
Until Ready to Work.

Horses should be educated or
trained, and never broken. according
to DR.. C. w. McCampbell, assistant
professor of animal husbsndry at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
When one breaks horse he breaks
lis spirit and the animal responds
wholly through fea1.
The education of the colt should be-
gin when It is but q few days old. The
frst step should be to teach 1t to be
led. This will not take long, and 1t is
q lesson that the animal will never
forget. Under average farm condi-
tions draft colts are not handled until
they are ready to work. and in this
case all they know is to respond to the
halter.
I'm educating the colt" says Doc
tor Campbell. "one' should work
around It patiently until he has gained
it's confidence and then get 1t used to
the harness one piece at a time: 1t

Change Rail- Gauge In Poland.

The Russian railroads in Poland, for
strategical reasons, were built on a
broad gauge. The Germans have stand
ardized this gauge, but this change has
rendered useless all Of the Russian
rolling stock which was left behind.
All freight cars. therefore, had to be
supplied from Germany. and very
great shortage Is the result.
It is interesting to note that In
standardizing the railroads the Ger
mans have cut the ends OF the railroad
ties even with the edge Of the tracks,
thus making 1t impossible in the
event of q Russian reoccupation Of
this country, to again broaden the
gauge without laying down an entire
ly new set of ties.-W. H. Hamilton,
in Harper's Weekly.

MUST BE KEPT IN MOTION
for Storage Houses or for
lnaction.

Railroad cars were not intended 70
storage houses, the Philadelphia Lede
er observes. They should not be used
for that purpose. Because here and
there some shipper is willing to go
on paying his demurrage charges rath-
er than go to the expense of unload
ing his cars he should not have the
power to do So Freight cars were
built to haul commodities and not for
vehicles in which to store commod-
tiles at some terminal point for the
convenience Of shipper, railroad or
consignee. A railroad Is of use only
when it can transport people and
freight. Therefore. any system which
will permit the deliberate blockading
Of tracks. junction points, docks and
terminals ought to be put under legal
ban.
The interstate commerce commits
sion should be endowed with a few
extra powers. One would be to COM
pei shippers to unload their cars after
certain time, irrespective Of demur-
rage, because demurrage does not
compensate either the railroad cr the
wider public when traffic is suspended
by embargoes. A second power should
pertain to the railroads and enable
the interstate commerce commission
to make them keep their cars in mo-
tion. The present situation is an abb
surdity. On the one hand. spectators
and shippers can. by the payment of
demurrages, delay indefinitely the un-
loading of cars at terminal points. On
the other hand, the railroads can then
declare an embargo against all other
shippers to that point.
Put in anutshell, the interstate COM
merce commission should enforce the
rule that railroad equipment cannOf
be used for storage purposes.

isfactOry. Up to the time of lambing
only about one.half to three-quarters
of pound per day need be fed.
After the lambing period, the
amount should be increased somewhat.
The proper amount to feed then would
depend on the size of the ewes, the
percentage Of lambs and other factors.
The question of roughage for ewes
Is very important one. Alfalfa and
clover hay are almost essential if the
very best results are to be obtained.
Very coarse, fibrous hays. especially
timothy, have been shown to be very
Objectionable as a roughage for preg-
nant ewes. Some form of succulent
feed as roots or corn silage can be
used to very great advantage II the
cost Is not prohibitive.
The feeding should not be the only
consideration in the management Of
the flock, but the questions OF shelter
and exercise are equally important.
Close housing not only is not essen
tial, but should be guarded against,
and instead more open house or
shed should be provided. Warmth of
the house Is not an important con.
sideration. for, II kept dry. the sleeps
fleece will serve to keep the body
warm. Care should be taken that the

tBy C. v. SINGLETON, Idaho Expert
ment Station)
1t is very important that the ewes
of the flock be put in proper condition
before lambing time, as otherwise the
farmer or breeder can expect only
small percentage of lambs. There are
two conditions that may result in the
raising of small percentage Of lambs.
First, many people have the impress
sion that the ewes can be kept
throughout the year on coarse rough
feeds with no grain except perhaps
small amount after lambing. The re-
suit Is that the ewes being thin at
lambing time produce weak lambs and
do not produce enough milk to keep
the lamb alive for the first few days.
The second condition. in which the
ewes are too fat, is far less common,
but does occur. If the ewes have had
the run Of good pasture during the
summer they may be in very high con-
dition in early winter. Then. IL rather
heavy grain feeding is started early
the ewes may become too fat for best
results. In any flock of great size
there is always much individual varia-
ton in the tendency OF the ewes to
put on fat. For this reason 1t is often
advisable to divide the flock, putting
the fatter ewes together and feeding
them rather light until near lambing
time. The ewes, thin in condition,
should be fed enough to bring them to
good breeding condition before lamb
