BIG JOB FOR RAILROADS

Passenger facilities of the rail
roads of the United States will
be taxed to the utmost this
month, in transporting the 6S,-
600. men in the regular army to
the various cantopments, car
rying visitors to numerous state
fairs and handling the regular
passenger traffic.
The movement Of troops must
have precedence over all other
traffic, even if it necessitates a
reduction or even the abolition
of the special trains which in
former years have been run to
accommodate those atten ding
state and county fairs. 1t is
possible that in places there may
be difficulty in maintaining on
certain days, the regular passen-
ger service, 'on account Of the
extraordinary call by the gov
ernment for passenger equipment
To move merely one field army
Of $4,000 men requires 6,229
cars, made up into 366 trains
with 366 locomotives and train
crews.
In addition to moving the 687 )
900 men in the regular army, the
railroads have been asked to
transport $4,000 men of the ma
tional guard to their training
camps.
Between Sept. 5 and Sept. 9
the railroads must complete the
movement Of 100000 men, about
80 per cent of the new army,
and the transportation of the en-
tire force must be completed
early in October.

A rancher near Nowlin few
days ago found a COW elk and
calf on the prairie near his
place. He captured the calf and
has asked permission of the state
game department to keep the
animal. The COW is yet running
at large IN that section.
Abe Van Asperin is the cham
pion snake killer so far as we
have heard this season. While, cut
ting hay last week he hit a
rattler with the machine and
got off to see whether the
mower had finished up the job
in good shape and discovered
there were a lot more. He got
busy and when the fight was
over he had twenty dead rat
tiers, which makes a good days

WIRE. FENCES AND LIGHTNING
Dangers to Live Stock Increased Dur.
ing Thunder Storms Unless Wires
Are "Grounded."

Wire fences increase the dangers Of
live stock during thunder storms, un-
less the fences are carefully ground
ed" say specialists at University farm,
st. Paul. Such fences may be ground
ed by running a No. or No. 10 gal
vanized iron wire from each strand of
the fence into the ground. The wire
should be twisted two or three times
about each strand and should reach to
a depth of four or five feet into the
ground. If the soil is particularly dry
the wire should be sunk much deeper.
1t should always reach down to moist
soil. A crOwbar may be used in max
ing the holes. Projecting points above
the fence will help to relieve the cleo
trio tension and prevent the lightning
from striking. Field fences should be
grounded every 20 rods, and fences
about barnyards and feed lots every
ten rods at least

EXTEND THE TOMATO SEASON
Gather All Large Specimens BEFORE
Vines Are Killed by Frost and
Put on Bed OF Straw.

The tomato season may be extend
ed several weeks by gathering all the
large tomatoes before the vines are
killed by frost and putting them on a
bed OF dry straw. Put about ten BUSH
els In each heap. cover with straw at
night and when weather Is cold and
wet. The tomatoes will ripen gradu-
ally and will be nearly as good as
those ripened on the vines. If frost
threatens. pull up the vines with the
tomatoes on the vines and pile In the
field. This is the method followed by
our truckers and market gardeners.
Where only few bushels are wanted.
pick the largest and finest tomatoes
and place them on a bed OF straw In
the cold frame, cover with six-inch
layer of straw. IL rain threatens slide
on the sash, as they should not get
wet or they will rot.
Gather the ripe fruit for canning
or preserving and make catsup while
fruit is abundant. The small green
tomatoes may be sold for picking.

Later on 1t is hitched to a little cart,
and trotted about until it becomes
thoroughly bride wise-that is, until
1t becomes trained to turn about in
stantly without hesitation in response
to the bit. 1t is taken close to putting
locomotives and alongside Queer-lOOk-
ing vehicles; into the neighborhood of
shops where there Is the sound of
changing iron and pounding hammers
and ringing bells. Its actions under
all these conditions are carefully not
ed and recorded, and its special quail
ficatioHs for particular purposes fully
ascertained.
The trainer knows the natural pro-
pensities and acquired qualifications
of every pony about the farm fully
as we'll as the teacher knows those
traits In a pupil, and all those things
go to make up pOny's record.

PONIES FOR CHILDREN
Business of Raising ShetIands
Has Grown important.
Moro Patient Than Horse and 10 Bet
ter Tempercd-Essentiai That
Little Fellows Be DociIe and
Easily Handled.

The Shetland pony is always an OBJ
ject of interest, whether seen draw
ing a shining cart In the city park or
bending beneath the cruel weight OF
his heavy burden on the mountain
trails Of his native country. II he
were less hardy he could not endure
the severe labor he Is made to perform
in his native land. for there he is pure
ly and simply burden bearer. Grain,
iron. furniture. coal, ore and merchan-
disc Of all kinds are transported to
all parts OF the islands on the backs
Of the tough little animals. Three hun
dred pounds Is the usual load for each
pony, and long Rnes of these laden
little beasts wind In and out among
the hills Of their native land.
The genuine Shetland pony, pro-
duced from the pure breeds of the
Shetland and Orkney islands, has be-
come SO popular and useful that the
business of raising ponies has grown
important. The business is not so
simple as it might appear at first
glance. In the first place, the prOgeni-
tors-sires and dams-are usually Sc
lected In the Shetland islands. Occa-
sionally desirable breeds may be found
In the interior of some of the other
northern islands bordering Scotland,
but the majority are found in the Shet-
land Islands.
The Shetland pony is unlike the
horse in many respects other than that
Of size. He is more patient, and as a
class is better tempered. Mute under
punishment, patient during severe Ia
Dor, constant as a dog in friendship,
a tractable spirit, the Shetland pony is
Of all animals the best servant, COM
panion and friend for children. There
are grown persons who so admire the
sturdy little ponies that they prefer a
cart and pair to the best trOtting
horse. They make up in strength and
endurance what they lack in size.
On farms where these ponies are
raised for the market, kindness is
practiced under all circumstances in
their training. This is very impOr-
tant, because most of these animals in
this country at least, are sold for the
pleasure of young boys and girls and
it is essential that they be trained to
be docile and gentle. When the little
pony colt, which man can take up In
his arms and carry about. is strong

er, little halter is put on it, and ii

der to take up more wire in rotating.
The edges of the two half cylinders are

DRAINAGE Is OF IMPORTANCE
Fruit Trees, Plants, Shrubs and Vines

Fruit farm drainage Is even more
important than draining for farm
crops, as fruit plants. shrubs. vines

see that they do not get clogged.

INJURED CORN FOR THE SILO
Where Crop Has Been Damaged by
Drought II Should Be Cut and
Stored for Feeding.

When corn Is injured by the
drought it should be allowed to stand
as long as there is any hope at all of
its getting rain to complete its growth.
IL 1t begins to die it should be put
in the silo. as this means what feed
