Forging the Big Panama Canal Gates " fre * . fit WOULD 60,000iK | | ( A HUSKY KID If R 60,000 \ STEAL A GATE" DAT- fitoC ITTSBUUO , PA. Mischievous boys dreaming of gales to bo carried nway and future Hallowe'en trophies would not In the wildest nightmares Imagine such enormous gates as are being made in Plttsuurg for the Pana ma canal. They will be the largest gates lu the world. Any one of the ! )2 ) of them will bo about as high as a six-story building , as wide as many city build ings are ( C5 feet ) , and so von foot deep or thick. The structural steel that will go to inako them will weigh GG.OOO tomi , or more thnn eight times as much as was used to build the Klffol tower In Paris. The mighty portals.designed to ad mit a world's commerce from one ocean to another , must withstand u tide of criticism as well as a tremendous deus pressure of water and possible convulsions of eaith. For years the controversy over gates or no gates , locks or sea level , has boon the di viding Isauo of the canal problem. In the face of fear In some quar ters that the foundations on the isth mus are not sure enough lor looks , that earthquakes or water pressure would dlulodge them , and that an one- Tragic Fate Long EW YORK. Another is likely to be added to the list of tragic deaths in the family of. Miss Adelaide Gum ming of this city. She is now in Hos- ton , summoned there by a peculiar ac cident to her sister who , on her thirty- second birthday put on a new dress of the hobble-akirt variety , and as she was going downstairs , tripped and fell. Her hip bono was broken and various complications have set In which may cause her death. Miss Cummins is still a young wom an , but misfortune has boon with her all her life. Her grandfather was wrecked and drowned at sea ; her father killed in a boiler explosion ; ono sister crushed by a trunk , anoth er killed by a snowball and a third by gangrene ; a nephew went down in the Maine , another was killed In the San Francisco earthquake , and their mothqr is now Insane. Jamea G. dimming , grandfather of my'n mines or accidental explosion might easily destroy them , the gov ernment has begun to build the gates. The cost will he $ ! > , noO,000. Of the 00,000 tons of steel required , the heaviest single pieces will weigh about eighteen tons. The thousands of Individual pieces , 'numbered nud lit- ted to go together as easily as chil dren's blocks , will be shipped by steamer via Haltimore and with them will go more than four hundred skilled structural steel builders from Pitts- burg to set them. The advance guard of exports will leave here In Decem ber nnd the llrst work probably will begin early In 1U ! 1. The location of the 1C pairs of gates will be , 20 at the Gntun dam on the I'aclllc Kido. lli at 1'edio Miguel , and 11 at Minilloros , near the Atlantic en trance. 'I he gates are designed to hold back water 47.4 feet deep In a channel HO fcot wide , which means a pressure of a million pounds. The weight of a single gate will be about 000 tons , and the dimensions are 77 to 82 feet high , 00 to 7i" feet wide and 7 feet thick. i liach lock will be ample for u ship r.O per cent , larger than any vessel afloat , and it hnsi been estimated that an many as a hundred ocean ships may be handled in a single day. There tire no locks approaching these in size. The famous Suez canal Is a sea level affair and the few greal lock canals would have to com bine their gates to equal the size and strength of the givat doors of Pan ama. Pursues a Family the present Cummlng gcw-intion , was a sailor of Salem , .Mass. , and went down with his ship when Miss Gum ming was a young girl. Her father was blown to death In a boiler ex plosion in Salem. Ho was a merchant and simply happened along when the holler let loose. Only parts of his body were lecovorcd. One sister was bicaklng wood over her knee when she fractured hcrJUpuocap. The leg was amputated burgangreno caused her death. Another -was killed by n snowball in Which a stone was im bedded and u third was caught while papking u trunk. The lid crushed her head. The unhappy fate of the family F.oemcd to descend t6 the branches , for one of Miss Cumming's nephews was lost in the San Francisco earthquake in ono of the collapsed buildings which took fire. A brother of this lad , Kn- slgn Matthews , had perished on the Maine in Havana harbor. These trag edies so preyed on the mind of the mother , Miss Cumming's sister , that she became violently insane and Is now in a Massachusetts asylum. Now the lat near relative of Miss dim ming is in a hospital , and it is impossi ble to say whether she will escape the family fate or not. Everybody Helps to Make City Clean IT ANSAS CITY , KAN. The Arruour- 1 * . dale district has sot the pace and now this city is going to bo a spot less town. An idea , a circular letter and a few postage stamps did the work in Armourdalo. Mr. Dean , commissioner or parks , Eolocted the town-cleaning day and then mailed the letters to all oC the business nnd professional men In that part of towu , inviting them to meet , properly equipped with implements , at Shawnee park. As early as 7:30 : the Shawnee park district looked like a brickyard dis trict when a mad-dog alarm has been sounded. There were men of. all sizes and wearing all sorts of working apparel nnd carrying many Descrip tions of Implements. 'When all hands had gathered around the bandstand , It was found that the group included lawyers , doctors , ministers and busi ness men , and that they meant busi ness. The party was divided into tliros sections. Wagons furnished by the city and by business llrms were on hand to follow the workers and col lect the results of their labor. Up one side of the street and down the other they worked , cleaning the Direct and parkings of weeds nnd papers arid piling them for the wagons to collect and cart away. And school hoys who had not been detained at home to clean yards followed the shovel and hoe brigade with brooms , sweeping up the dirt the sliovelors had missed. And the women wore working , too. While their husbands were cleaning the streets , they were sweeping the yards , nicking up tin cans and pa pers and cutting the dead weeds. In all paits of the city woman could ho seen , inking up leaves and trash and oven repairing fences. The churches had nun working cleaning and re pairing Uio properly and thu school janitors * -ere busy in the schoolhouse yards. It is the intention before long to have the 11,000 school children of the city organised into juvenile leagues for the puigosc of assisting In this work. "This Is 01 ly a starter , " Mr. Dean explained. "J-11 of Kansas City , Kan. , will bo clcanet the same way. " Refusal of Water May Cost His Life PHILADELPHIA , PA. Lying In the Gnrretson hospital in a critical condition from a badly lacerated Bcalp , which ho sustained when hit by a street car , Albert Maxwell , llfty- ono years of age , steadfastly refuses to drink water In any form because ho doesn't lllco U. Ho declares ho has heen a total abstainer from nature's Coverage for the last thirty years , and Is willing to take a chance of giving 'up his life rather than touch water tigalu. When Maxwell was taken to the hospital ho waa placed on the oper ating table whllo the physicians sowed up his scalp , v liich had been almost completely tort off the nkull. Max well stood the poratlon well. As he straightened up ready to bo assigned a bed Doctors toss and Silk offered him a glass of v ater. " 1 never use t , " was Maxwell's re- upoiisp to the in-offered drink. The physicians and Uio nurses regarded the statement as a Joke. N'oxt morn ing the nurse ofered ; Maxwell medi cine in the form of pills. A glacs of water was offer'ul him to take with the , medicine , bu : Maxwell refused it. Ho swallowed tin pills without water. The white of i n egg was proscribed In the evening , but after inspecting the food Maxwell declared ho thought there was watei in It and refused to take it. Hospital attacl.es are in a quandary as to what to iced the man. Mrs. Maxwell says It Is useless to coax her husband to d-inU water.

TO MAKE SUPERIOR BUTTER Several Essential Suggestions for , Dairymen That Insure Success In Quality nnd Flavor. ( Uy HHSSli : ] . . PUTNAM. ) Hutter of the best quality is ob tained only when the cream Is churn ed twice a week , though a product of fair quality may be secured from a weekly churning if extra cure Is taken of the cream during the gath ering process. It must be Uopt In a well ventilated cellar or room free 'from objection able odor. If vegetables are kept In the same compartment sen to It that there are no decaying members among them. Cabbage is especially prone to affect the flavor of milk or butter. II you use ensilage never feed the ullage until 'after the milking Is done and the milk cared for. Milk read ily absorbs odors nnd the butter will be of inferior quality as a result. Always hcahl pails , strainers and 'separators In fall and winter , with as ( iniich care as in midsummerHocahse the milk does not quickly sour Is no 'reason ' why vigilance in this direction , should ho relaxed. The bitter odor is , bound to creep in unless this detail is carefully attended to. If the butter is hard to come keep 'the ' cream in a warm room 12 'hours ' before churning. This Is much more satisfactory tliun putting In hot water to raise the temperature of the cream. When packing butter away , scald all the crocks a nil pails thoroughly , Ono that has had rancid butter In can seldom be cleansed sulllciently to keep butter well afterward ; though if It Is necesary to use such a crock , perhaps the best method of sweeten ing it is to nil it with clay for u short time. This soil has the power to draw out objectionable flavors as nothing else can do. When packing butter for the win ter months always use thu best of salt , and cover with a cloth well sprinkled with salt. Avoid coloring material. Strive to keep the cream at the proper temperature before and during ( lie process of churning and artificial tints wlll not bo required. More butter Is spoiled by being over , rather than under-worked. Don't churn when you are cooking onions nnd then be surprised if the butter Is "olf. " If the process Is car ried on In any part of the kitchen It Is nocessarj to have the air freed from other odors at the time. The Size of the Silo. The size of the silo should , of course , depend upon the number of cattle to ho kept. The diameter should be such that u layer of at least ono and one-half inches will be taken off the top daily , In feeding , to insure fresli silage , as it spoils if left exposed to the air moro than -1 hours. A cow will eat about one cubic footer or about 40 pounds , a day. At this rale , to feed cattle six months , the di ameter of a 110-foot silo should bo such us to allow about llvo square foot of surface for each cow. Two small si los are hotter than one largo ono , be cause the silage will always bo in bettor coiulitl i as it is used off the top faster. Forage Figures In the Profits , In the production of milk and cream on the farm the farmer seldom stops to consider that there should bo placed a value on the forage which the cows consume \\hcn on posture , or that the labor necessary to feed , milk and properly euro for the cows , and tint milk should bo considered as an ox- poiiHO. On this account , too often , the farmer falls to fully understand thu lactual cost of his butter when ready for market.

DON'T NEGLECT THE COWS Allowing Animals to Shift for Them selves When Becoming Dry Is Costly and Inhuman. ( By UAMMt M. AVIUTKSJ1M3. ) This IH u picture from a photograph of u cow owned by a well-to-do farmer who allows his cows to shlU for thorn- solves when they become dry. The Ill-Treated Cow. writer hug seen In the early spring many cows that are too weak to arlso from the ground without being as sisted. This la a splendid way of los ing money fast and It Is Inhuman as well. Proper Ration for'Dairy Cow. It has been determined that cows fc < l on soiling crops nlono without pas ture consume 7G to 100 pounds of for age a day. Hero the protein content of the forage comes in for consider ation , as a dairy cow in full milk ncds nearly two pounds ot digestible protein per day. Alfalfa contains 3.0 pounds of protein per 100 pounds ; rod clover , y.9 ; oats , 1.8 ; sweet corn , 1.5 ; millet , U ; Hint corn , 1 , and sorghum , C. The clover and millet furnish enough protein , while the rest are short In that element of food. Kind words bear fruit oven with a cow. cow.Have Have stable light , airy , clean , and comfortable. Wholesome food and pure water are necessary to keep the cow healthy. The poor unprofitable cows are n fearful load tfpon the dairy fanners of today. The keeping of a herd of dairy cown In the right condition is not an Ignor ant man's business. The activity of milk secretion de pends In a large measure upon the vigor of the circulation of the blood. Strong thrifty calves cannot be ex pected from cows that have been fed starvation rations for a few months before calving. Dairymen do not seem to realize that good milk and butter Increases consumption while poor milk and but ter decreases It. The best results will not bo reached by lighting the dairy and food com mlssloners , but by working in har mony with them to produce clean and palatable articles. Ixit the blessed sunshine In , rlcan up , whitewash the stables and disin fect and make a good light and ntop the insidious ravages of the dread dis ease , tuberculosis. The time has come when the con sumers are demanding their rights and It is more than right that they should know the kind of producth they are buying for their families Twenty years from now dalr\m < > n will look hack and wonder why tiny did not clean up their building , ynrda and cattle and pay some utlrntmn to keeping systematic records oflmt each individual cow Is producing Cow testing associations an1 cer tain to hccoino the Instruments of ma king yearly records of farmor.s' cows. 13vory dairying community should or ganize an association and hire a corn- potent man to take full charge of the work. fT 1 Women scorn lollvo faster than men.
