MYSTERY OF LOCOMOTIVE
 WHISTLES IS EXPLAINED

LOS ANGELES, Dec 30.-The mys- teries of the language of railroad engines, as spoken through the en- gineer's whistle, have been revealed by the Southern Pacific company in an announcement for the benefit of the general public. The significance of the engineers performance on his whistle is explined as follows:
 Four blasts, two of medium length and two short, are a warning that a locomotive is approaching a grade crossing.
 A succession of short blasts tells trespassers to get off the track.
 One long blast followed by three short ones sends the rear flagman back to protect aginst a following train.
 Four or five blasts of medium dur ation recall the flagman.
 Four short whistles is the engi- neers way of asking for train order signal.
 Two short whistles mean Thank you'' or T get you.'
 One whistle of medium duration followed by two short blasts calls attention to signals displayed for a following section.
 One long blast is given when train is approaching a station, draw bridge, or junction.
 Two short blasts given three times are signal to the trainmen that the airbrakes are sticking. One engineer was always known to blast two long and two short when coming into the station on the other end of the line. When asked, how come? he said that his girl knew who it was that was coming in. Tn

Diseases and Pests Of
Many Garden Vegetables

From the time the seeds of garden
cyops are put into the ground until
the crops are gathered, diseases and
insects may appear that must be
fought. Vegetable troubles are due
to numerous causes, including. unfa-
vorable soil conditions, too wet or too
dry, too rich or too poor, lack Of hui
mus or lime. weather unsuited to some
crops, careless use Of fertilizers. or at
tacks of fungi or other parasites. The
adoption of the best horticultural prac-
tice-crop rotation. the careful appli-
cation Of fertilizers suited to each
crop, adequate CIVILIZATIONS the plant
ing Of all crops in their proper sea-

Best Plan to Save Feed
by Discarding All Males

It will cost about $1.50 to feed each
male in the poultry flock until next
year. and since the males are of no
value to the flock until next breeding
season, 1t is natural to ask. why feed
them for eight months without returns.
especially when new blood is needed
to help build up the flock?
You can purchase new cockerels
from any reliable breeder and save
the feed money and time in raising
them, and new cockerels will mean
better baby chicks and larger per-
centage raised next year. according
to poultry specialists.
Infertile eggs will keep better dur
ing the hot summer days, and they
have a better market value than the
fertile eggs. After fertile egg ger
inmates and tho blood rings begin to
form, the eggs are not good for hu-
man food. "Swat the rooster and pro-
duce infertile eggs" should be
the slogan.

Several Effective Ways
to Destroy Field Pests

There are several effective means Of
destroying the pests which burrow in
the fields. Poisoning with strychnine,
trapping, flooding and fumigating with
carbon bisulphide are popular meth
DDS. The mole is difficult to destroy
in any other manner than by trapping.
Poison is the most effective means of
destroying the rodents. Flooding, Of
course. is only possible in certain
cases. Carbon bisulphide is used fire.
-quently but in the case of moles con-
siderable gas is lost where the run
way is near the surface of the ground,
and the efficiency of the method is
seriously impaired There is also some
difficulty in using carbon bisulphide
due to the fact that the runways are
not all on the same level and the gas
will remain in the lowest portions. not
rising to fill the runway where it ap-
proaehes the surface Of the ground.

Caffein is classified as a poison.
Like strychnin, It is sometimes given

The average cup Of coffee contains the

such cases. The alarming foolishness of
taking this poison regularly into the
