HARD RAILROAD WORK PI8PATCHERS IN EARLY DAYS HAD TWELVE-HOUR "TRICKS." ^traln en "Nervous System Was Found Too Great, and Modern Arrange­ ment Was Put In---How Evolu­ tion Has Gone On. • One of the first steps in the evolu­ tion of the modern railroad system was the division of twenty-four hours into three tricks. €t was found that twelve hours was .too great a strain on the nervous system. Most of the track was sin­ gle. There were no blocks, and dis­ patchers faced throughout every working hour the fearful possibility of a fatal blunder. So another man was employed and the working day for each dispatcher was cut down to eight hours. This ie called a "trick." The first trick is that which begins at eight in the moaning. It is called the first because it was the choice of the senior dispatcher. The second lasted from four o'clock until midnight, and the third from then until eight a. m. For many years after this system went into effect the dispatcher was ex­ pected to balance locomotive power, attend to car distribution and disci­ pline the operators along the division, in addition to his q|her and arduous employment of following the operation of trains. With the pausing of the years and the attendant increase of traffic the defects of this arrangement began to obtrude prominently. The necessity of attending to car distribution was calculated to draw the attention of the dispatcher from the very much more Important task of keeping trains moving rapidly and isafely. Especially hard was it for the second trick man, when, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the car (reports were piled in. The problem, was sdlved by giving 'the first trick man more authority land more pay and entrusting him with ithe distribution of cars and examina­ tion of division operators after he had ispent several hours at the telegraph !key. Later he was relieved altogeth­ er of the regular work of the trick land became the chief dispatcher, as 'he is known today. In a typical office ithe dispatcher's force now consists of i* chief, three trick men, two copy op­ erators and several messengers. The first development of train dis- Ipatching was the single order. When 'two trains were to meet by special di­ rection the signal was first set against <the superior train and the operator 'handed the conductor his order. As |for Instance: "You will not pass Charlestown un- jtil train No. 4 arrives." To the inferior train at the same Itime the following order was deliv­ ered: "You will run to Charlestown re­ gardless of No. 6." As a safeguard it was a custom to iadd to the order the phrase: "How do you understand?" To which the operator replied with la repetition of the order, beginning: "We understand that, etc." In time, for the sake of brevity, ar­ bitrary signals were substituted for these phrases. The number ^31 came to mean the former and 13 the latter, letter it was seen that misunderstand­ ings would be averted by employing the same set of words for any given (regular order, such as a stop, slow, or the like. This obviated the necessity of sending back to the dispatcher th« operator's construction of the order. To reduce the element of danger to a minimum, the double ofder system was Invented. This consists of giving the same order to all trains concerned at as nearly the same moment as pos­ sible. The duplicate order system is now in general use. In its employment the orders given above would take the following form: "Trains No. 4 and 5 will meet at Charlestown." Good Advice for 8entry. General Sheridan was once halted by O. M. Woodward of Wisconsin when the latter was a " high pri­ vate " in the army of the Potomac and on picket duty. A man on horseback came along, and he greeted him with the proper salutation: "Who goes there?" "A friend," was the reply. " Advance, friend, and give the coun­ tersign!" Bald the young private. "I am General Sheridan," said the horse­ man. Woodward gave him to under­ stand that he didn't care if he was Gen. Sheridan; that he wanted the countersign, and he brought his bay­ onet into close proximity to the gener­ al's person and demanded the proper answer. Sheridan smiled, gave it to him, and, as he rode away, turned to remark: " Young< man, there's a regiment ot infantry coming Just be­ hind me. Don't molest "em." STEER REVERSES "QUO VADIS" Animal In Texas Battled With Looo» motive and Sent Monster Earth. That "story about Ursus twisting the head off of an Aurochs bull was exploded in Communipaw the other day, when a big Texas steer, not nearly so strong as the animal which was Btarred in "Quo Vadis" bluffed a switch engine to a standstill and then backed it off the rails, the New York Herald states. The engine won only one round, and when the knock­ out had been administered the Bteer leaped into the corral from which he had escaped and calmly submitted to be lassoed and led away to the death chamber. The steer was one of many which arrived at the Schwarzschild & Sulz­ berger plant In CommunipaW, from Texas. He was big and black and did not like the surroundings, so he leaped lightly over the fence and found himself on the rails of the Central railroad of New Jersey con­ fronting Tony Arelia. Arelia is a switchman, and at the moment was waving a large red flag. Everybody knows what bulls think of red Sags and Tony lost no time in getting on the other side of an ap­ proaching switch engine just as the steer, with lowered head, struck the front driving wheel. The engine stopped and the steer immediately locked his horns firmly in the spokes of the wheel. Seeing his chance the engine driver opened the throttle, but instead of whirling about in the air the animal made one circle and landed flat on his feet, like an anvil in the sand, with his horns still locked. Then with a snort which made the puffing of the engine sound like the E strings of a jewsharp he gave a mighty push and lifted the trucks of the engine off the rails. This done, he raised his head, winked at the engine driver and leaped back into the pen. It took more than half an hour to get the heavy engine back on to the rails and by that time the steer had been quietly loaded on to a barge and was on his way to the abattoir.

It is stated, to a spark from the engine. The express was passing through the Brownhill cutting, situated be­ tween Wllpshire and Blackburn, when it was discovered that the fish wagon in the center of the train was alight. An alarm was raised, the train pulled up, and the officials were soon able to subdue the fire. Large quantities of kippers and other fish. In a partial­ ly cooked state, were thrown out on the embankment, and attracted the attention of the public, who secured the better portion and conveyed it home. The fish wagon was quickly uncoupled and shunted on to a siding, and the train resumed its journey af­ ter a delay of about a couple of hours.--London Mail. Dyeing. The practice of dyeing is so ancient that it would be folly to attempt to say where or when it originated. The place or period of its genesis no one can tell, or even guess. As far back as history or tradition can take us we find the dyeing vat. Phoenicia was famous for its rich dyes, as was Egypt also. Modern chemistry does not seem to add much to the efficacy of the art. The colors of the most ancient times of which we have any knowledge were as "fast" as any that can be made to-day. In fact. It is held by some authorities that the men of four or five thousand years ago pos­ sessed secrets about dyeing that would be greatly appreciated by us if we could get hold of them. The above chart furnishes an out­ line of the factors which enter into the profit made from many herds of cows where the dairy product is the chief source of income from tfce herd. In the case of pure bred, dual purpose or beef herds the calves may take a- more important place so that the amount of milk produced is not the only consideration in returns from the cow. It is quite evident that the profit di­ vided from the herd is made up of the proSts from each cow separately. Lt all cows in the herd gave the same or nearly the same profit, k would be as well to say that the herd profit equals the profit per cow times the number of cows, and that to secure a greater profit a larger herd is necessary. The latter is a somewhat common view, but a good one, since the net returns from different cows in the herd varies to a great extent. Size of the herd is, of course, a factor in the total profit made from it--a 50-cow dairy Will plainly give larger returns than a 10-cow dairy. Yet in either herd there will very likely be a greater range of profit between the better and poorer cows than there is in num­ bers between the larger and smaller herds, and this fact is not at all plain to many men. The factor of the value of the prod­ uct or the market available is a very Important one to be considered before going into the dairy business. It re­ quires rather careful management .to is also true in some cases that the cow herself does not have the ability to produce much, if any more, when given a liberal allowance than she would from a somewhat limited ration. If it costs to own, feed and care for a 200 pound cow f 76 a year, and for a 300 pound cow, |90, and these figures are a very close estimate to the act­ ual cost, the cost per pound of fat in the first instance would bi 38 cents, and in the latter 30 cents. A good whole milk market pays an average ot S5 to 45 cents a pound for the amount of fat in the milk. At 40 cents the 200 pound cow would make a profit of two cents per pound, or $4.00 for the year, while the 300 pound cow would make a profit of 10 cents, of fSO for the year. At 35 cents, the one would show a loss of $6, and the other a profit of $15. These figures are based on selling whole milk and allowing no credit for calf or manure, both of which may be made Important rtems of income. Amount of production is determined first by the capacity of the cow, that is, her dairy qualities, and, second, bj the opportunity she is given. Iipprov ing her opportunity will usually In­ crease the co6t of keep, although some times a ration can be changed or a lit tie extra attention given at vfeTy small expense. These things are at all times under the control of the owner. In the same herd all the cows have practically the same opportunity, yet TAKEN FOR BURGLAR Sweetheart of Ribbon Salesman Explains to Judge Just How It Ail Happened. New York.--When Reginald Mul- hane was called to the bar in the Yorkville police court he had all he could do to hobble along on a cane. He was slight and undersized and with a meekness of feature that made the magistrate look up with surprise when he read on the complaint, "At­ tempted burglary." Close behind Mulhane stood a comely woman in die throes of a bad attack of tears. 8he was supported by a buxom mid­ dle-aged woman with a purple-plumed hat, who was dividing her time be­ tween patting the tearful one sympa­ thetically on the shoulder and sniffing disdainfully at Policeman Buchmeller, who had Reginald in charge. "I found this man in the rear of the premises occupied by Jasper Bates, in East 74th street," recited Buchmeller.

While it is true that patrons of the American railroads like to "anni­ hilate distance" by traveling at a high rate of speed and share the pride of directors in Eighteen Hour Fliers and Twentieth Century Limiteds, the proposal to make the schedules of such fast expresses longer will be gen­ erally applauded. Speed has a fas­ cination for the traveling public, which is always impatient of delays and missed connections, holding rail­ roads responsible tor them, but when sofety seems to be sacrificed for speed the~e is no doubt how the trav­ eling public feels about the matter -- New York Sun. Need for Automatic Stops. The need of automatic stops for rail­ way trains is emphasized by the re­ port that 171 persons lost their lives and 9pl were injured last year in ac­ cidents caused by engineers running pa6t danger signals. Such automatic stops are said to be perfectly practi­ cable, and to be in successful use on gome electric systems. Australian Railroads. Australia has 16,000 miles of rail­ road. Hen Mothers Kittens. A hen whose chicks were removed from her at Playford, Suffolk, England, not long since, discovered a cat with four kittens. She turned the mother out and took charge of the kittens, who are as much at home with her as with their mother, whom the hen al­ lows into the nest to suckle her young. Speed.

Germany has just completed its longest colonial railway, that from Dar-es-Salaam to Tobora in East Af­ rica. The completed line is slightly more than 500 miles long, and is to be extended to the shore of- Lake Tanganyika. By steamer the line will here connect with a Belgian rail* road to the navigable Congo and by steamboat and railway a real trans­ continental line of communication w ill be established across equatorial Af­ rica. Ultimately the Germans plan to connect the Congo with the Gulf of Guinea by another railway they are constructing in the Kamerun.-- New York Sun. make any proft on a market paying 25 cents a pound for butter fat while under the same conditions, but with a market paying 40 to 50 cents, a very substantial profit would be realized. Under average conditions, a cow yield­ ing 200 pounds of fat per year is profit­ less excet for the manure she pro­ duces, with a market paying less than 38 cents for fat in the form of whole milk, or 34 cents in the form of cream. If the market justifies the operation of a dairy herd In connection with the farm and one is making this a part of his farm income, he has the opportunity of increasing his profit by Increasing production. Increasing pro­ duction decreases the cost of prod­ uct, which gives a large net profit when subtracted from the selling price, and this large net profit is again increased when multiplied by the larger production to give the total profit from the cow. Amount of pro­ duction is thus doubly Important. The cost to keep, especially the cost of feed, naturally increases with increased production. But if the cow has the ability to use more feed and convert it into milk the cost per unit of product will be decreased. A great many men overlook this point, and it their pinduction is not the same. This difference is due to the cow her* self, and is without the control ot th« owner. His only recourse is to se­ lect. Cows of equal dairy merit may produce considerably different amounts of milk, but their production of but­ ter fat will be nearly the same. The capacity of a cow is, therefore, best measured by the amount of fat she produces, and selection should be based on this. Culling on tue basis of the amount of fat produced is one of the meet rapid methods of bettering an unimproved herd, if the rejected cows can be replaced by better ones. Under some conditions an experienced man can buy good cows to better ad­ vantage than to raise them, but un­ der most farm conditions a supply fs best obtained by breeding consistent­ ly to a dairy bred bull. Large capacity is a special advan­ tage in permitting crowding when prices are favorable. If the market is high enough to give a profit of SO cents, lt Is a decided advantage to have a cow that can make 50 pounds of fat a month Instead of one whose limit is 80 pounds, even though the former did not produce more cheaply per pound. FEEDING TO PRODUCE EGGS Automatically 8tops Train. To prevent an accident to a railroad train should the engineer be injured and unable to stop it, an inventor has mounted an electric button on the throttle lever, which automatical­ ly shuts off steam and applies brakes should the engineer's thumb be re­ moved from it.

I In Addition to Variety of Grains Milk of Any Kind Is Favored--Cost of Keeping. Though many people advise against it, I like to feed my hens by the hop­ per method mainly. The hoppers are Igfge enough to hold about 100 pounds each, and in different hoppers I put oats, bran and meat-scraps, wheat and barley, says a writer in the Farm and Fireside. I tried a hopper with corn, but found they ate 300 pounds qf com to every 100 pounds of wheat and 25 pounds of oats. W heat, oats and bar­ ley being the best egg-producing grains, the corn hopper was closed and the proportion of the different grains then consumed was four parts wheat, two parts barley, one part oats and a little bran and beef-scrap. This comes pretty near the "lay or bust-' ration given out by the Oregon experiment station. Milk, whether skimmed, sour or butter, is a valuable addition to any ration. In addition to the grain they get from the hopper, corn is fed at night, and while this may appear peculiar, having other grains before them all dlly, the hens do find room for no small amount of The Le Conte Pear. Not much has been heard concern­ ing the Le Conte jear, considered to belong to the Chinese species, a kind of first coufiin to the Kieffer, and like it better for canning than for eating out of hand. Experiments with Le Conte have been mostly In the south. Growers are not fully agreed about the quality, some placing it as high as Bartlett, and others much below. The difference may be accounted for by some persons allowing their treos to overhear, or not treating the fruit properly after picking. The variety ie ..said to have orig­ inated in the old Prince nursery at Flushing, on Long Island, many years ago. The tree is a beautiful, vigorous grower, fruit large, fine looking, and with proper treatment of very fair quality " !• worthy of tri*l in a limited way north. f Shade for Chickens. Professor H. L. Kempster of the Poultry Department of the University of Missouri, says that shade is one of the most important things for grow­ er chickens during the hot weather that grain which tfeey like best. The only green feed they get is cabbage. While grit and oyster shells Is sup­ plied, I value the coal and wood ashes most highly. The dust is added to their dusting pen, and the small un- burned pieces of coal are relished by the hens more than either the grit or shell. Some good poultry folks make three to six dollars profit from each hen (on paper), but I got close to one dollar over feed, and considering the fact that little time was spent in caring for them, they paid better than any other stock kept on the farm. The hen that lays 150 eggs a year le a rare one, though it is something all breeders should strive to produce. A good flock of hens will average 75 to 100 eggs a year, and if a portion of them are laid during the winter, it is safe to place the average price per egg at two cents, making $1.50 to $2 as ihe value of eggs from each hen. Having kept a record of all the feed consumed during the year for my 400 hens, the cost of feed for each hen can be placed pretty close to 75 or<-vM> cents. Arrested Him for Attempted Burglary dow. He could not give an account r>f himself, and I arrested him for at­ tempted burglary." "Indeed, he's no burglar. Judge," sobbed the tearful one. "How do you know?" asked the magistrate. "He's my sweetheart, judge, and he never done a thing like that in his life." "You never can tell," said the mag­ istrate. "Have you any better evi­ dence?" "I'm Rose Flnnegan and I'm the Becond maid at Mrs. Bates'," she •aid, "and this lady here is the cook, Mrs. Reilly. This gentleman here he sells ribbons downtown and he's been my steady company for months. He was good, steady company, but all he could do was to sit still and play with his hat. There wasn't any romance at all to It, Judge. He takes me to a play the other night and that gave me an idea. I started to teach him how to be romantic. I told him in­ stead of coming to the basement door and ringing the bell. Just as though he was bringing some groceries in­ stead of candy, he ought to climb up oa a balcony or do something like that "He did not want to do 1L He said that he was not up to those things. I said he would have to do it or I would go out with the fireman around the corner. "He said he guessed he'd have to do it, but I would have to pick out something easy. I told him all he'd have to do would be to climb up a rope to my window, and the cook and I would help him. "When it was time for him to call cook and I dropped a clothesline to him and he started to climb up. He said it hurt his hands, but we told him to keep on trying and then he fell and hurt his ankle, and this police­ man grabbed him. "All the lady said is straight, judge," declared Reginald. "1 did not want to do this stunt, but 1 eould not let that fireman get ahead of me." "I guess I made a mistake," said Buchmeller. "This guy didn't look like a burglar to me anyhow, and, be­ sides, I know that fireman and I don't like him either." "Seeing that everybody is satis­ fied," said the magistrate, "tho case is dismissed." Prospects for the 8eventh Annual National Dairy Show, Chicago. While this event has each year giv­ en evidence of its usefulness to the dairy world, yet the rounding out of the seven-year period promises to give to the country one of the most valuable educational Ehows ever pre­ sented. With the thought in mind that the importation of dairy products is growing to a dangerous amount and that -present prices and general con­ ditions concerning agriculture in America warrant a tremendous amount of work to stop the terrific drain upon our gold by foreign countries tor products we should and must grow at home, the attention of the manage­ ment has been given entirely to the j rendering of practical demonstrations on lines of the maximum of produc­ tion the minimum of cost, of dairy products. While features of Intense moment on sanitary and hygienic methods will be presented, yet the ^paramount work of this great educa­ tional show is for the farmer. Matters of breeding and feeding will be presented by demonstration and discussion; the better handling and marketing of dnlry products will be discussed--in fact, everything that j will tend to aid in profitable dairy j farming will be here shown and t talked over by the highest national 1 authorities. The machinery depart- j ment will have many active, interest- j ing and instructive exhibits. It is the j intention that every er.hlbitor shall i have an opportunity to display his ex- ! hlbit, wholly or in part. In active use, thus giving practical demonstrations . under expert hands. But the cow and ' her place upon the farm will be the 1 paramount issue; with $9,000,000 an­ nually being shipped out of this coun­ try for dairy products, the cow and how to increase her capacity has the most need of consideration by all patriotic citizens. No farmer in the middle west, be he ; already engaged in dairying or not, can j afford to overlook this ten-day short j course in all that is best for the farm. j In fact, this s':ow has assumed a rela- j tlon with farming and dairying that J makes it the annual round-up of all ' affairs of the dsiry world, where j show-yard battles are settled for the J 6eason; where trades are made and i where matters affecting the next year's work are discussed and planned. The show will be held this year, commencing October 24, in the Inter­ national Amphitheater, Chicago. While the show Is National in name, It will be International in character, as by comparison alone are we able to see what Is being accomplished the world over.
