CANADA'S NEW TOY.
The germ of the Canndlnn navy
rapidly developing Into a lively or
tanlsm. The cruiser Rainbow, It Is
announced, will soon start from Ports
Imouth for the racinc coast of Canada
after having been thoroughly over
hauled and Inspected under tho au
thority of the British Admiralty. The
cruiser NIohe will leave Portsmouth
for Halifax. Each warship will carry
a full complement of Rrltlsh officers,
who will serve In the Canndlnn navy
for two years and a "skeleton" crew,
of which tho members will be engaged
for five yoars, snys Toronto Globe. It
Is not expected that It will be at all
difficult to obtain the necessary offi
cers and mon In Canada when It be
comes necessary to enlist them. It
la Interesting to note that the first
proposal to construct a drydock of
large dimensions under the legisla
tion of laBt session has been made by
the English firm of Vlckers & Maxim,
which has filed plans at Ottawa for
works at Montreal covering fifty acres
and costing two and a half million
dollars. The construction of torpedo
destroyers has long been a specialty
with this celebrated firm, but far more
Important for this country Is the build
ing and repairing of steel vessels of
large size. The Introduction of such a
plant will mark a new atnge In the
evolution of shipbuilding In Canada.
The Chicago public school authori
ties are preparing to establish a new
high school course of two years, for
the benefit of pupils who for financial
reasons can remain no longer In the
high schools. It Is bolleved that by
doing this many pupils who now go
out Into the business world from the
district schools could be Induced to
take a special course of two years ar
ranged with a vlow to their future em
ployment The development Is In line
with effort to strengthen the publlo
schools as institutions for the prepa
ration of young men and women for
the practical work of life, and Its out
come will be noted with Interested by
educators.

left unnoticed In a woman's waist,
which, with hundreds of Blmllar gar

hung close to the superhented pipes

luloid exploded and Instantly the room
was aflame.
Two or three days after tho cow has
freshened she should bo given a grain
ration consisting of foods which are
rich In protein, such as bran, oil meal,
cottonseed meal, gluten feed, alfalfa
hay, etc., with an additional amount
of corn ellago that she will consume
together with some cornmeal which, of
course, will cheapen the 1 at ion. Re
ceiving this amount of feed, tho milk
which she produces thereby should be
weighed to determine the amount of
milk that she will produce without be
ing forced. This, of course, enn bo de
termined by the milk scales, which are
in invaluable adjuct in the dairy barn
or mllkrocm at all times. After being
allowed to remain on this ration for
two days the feeder has determined
the quantity of milk given and should
then increase the ration one-half
pound and allow her to remain on the
ration of four and a hulf pound for
two days and agntn determine tho
amount of milk produced by tho cow
for the feed consumed. Now, If the
scales show that thers has been an
Increase in tho production of milk
sufficiently largo to pay for the In
crease on tho one-half pound of grain
and a profit thereon, then it Is wholly
a buainess consideration nnd the feed
er should assume further risk and in
creases the ration by another one-half
pound of grain. Then, with the cow
on a ration of five pounds of grain a
day tor two days, it Is possible by the
continued weighing of the milk to de
termine whether or not this another
additional hulf pound of grain has been
Instrumental in increasing the milk
flow to such proportions that the sys
tem is profitable, and so tho feeder
should continue Increasing the ration
one-half pound every ether day just so
long us tho cow continues to respond
with the increase in milk production
sufficiently largo, that if placed upon
the market at prevailing prices It
would pay for tho increase In the
feed and a profit on the investment.
Determining Amount cf Feed Needed.
When by carefully giving an addi
tional tit of grain, the cow ceases to
respond, then one or two things may
be true; either tho cow has reached
the limit of her ability to produce milk
or the character of the ration Is not
suitable to her needs. The proposi
tion which confronts the feeder now
is to change his ration in such a way
that It possible further efforts on the
part of the cow may be stimulated.
This can be done by substituting one
grain or feed for another. It the ra
tion constats largely of corn, a portion
of this teed may be taken away and
more bran or ollmenl added. On the
other hand. It the ration la made up
of feeds of a more nitrogenous charac
ter, the likelihood is (bat by substi
tuting for a smell amount of them
mora cornmeal, the cow will again be
set to work. By changing the ration
back and forth In thia manner a time
or two, the cause for ihe lack of re
sponse on the part of the cow may
either be remedied or the reason for
it determined. It it be true that she
has reached the limit of her ability to
produce milk, then ot is wholly un
profitable to give her an additional
amount of grain for all feed given her
in addition to that which she will con
vort into milk must be remembered la
wasted. A good dairy cow placed un
der this system of management and
feeding will require In the neighbor
hood of thirty days to come to the
limit of the amount of feed which
she can handle profitably, or in other
word., to the limit of the amount of
milk she has the ability of producing.
At this time also she ia very close to
the limit of her capacity or the amount
of feed which she has the power of
assimilating successfully. It Is then
necessary for the feeder to decrease
her ration In the same gradual'man-
mllk production la that during the
first 30 days, if fed property, they in
crease gradually In their llow of milk,
and after that time they bg;n to grad
ually decline until at tl.s end of a
certain period they are ngcin dry. In
this particular, dairy cows differ
greatly from common or diial purpose
cows. The dairy cow has been bred
for the purpose of milking persistently
as well as largely throughout the year.
The common cow or ih dual purpose
cow has not be"n bred or raised par
ticularly with this point in view, and
as a consequence she dries up very
readily, oftentimes At the fnd of six
or eight months. The cow which Is
profitable Is the cow which milks
throughout the entire yeur. and the
most profitable methods of caring for
and feeding the dairy cow are those
methods which Induce her to milk
largely over this long period of time.
First 30 Days an Index.
Now, it is plain to be seen by any
reader that if during ihe first thirty
days the cow Is stimulated In her milk
production In a gradual manner nnd In
such a way thnt. the climax of her pro
duction when renched Ij a large
amount, It will take her longer to de
cllno in her milk flow to tho period
when she is dry than though her milk
flow lc stimulated to tho degree which
induces her to give only a small
the cow throughout the remainder of
the year in order to eiimliinte the lia
bility of her declining rapidly In milk
flow. The cow muBt be watched close
ly, and If she begins getting too poor
more corn nnd loss of the other fends
should be given her. On the other
hand. If (he begins to decrease In her
(low of milk, a portion of the corn
sbouM be taken away from ber ration
nnd oil meal, bran, cottonseed meal,
gluten feed or some other feed rich
in protein should be substituted for it,
and by so changing tho ration from
time to time back and forth In quality
and quantity, tho greatest production

amount , even at the time when the
climax of her milk producing ability
is reached. As an instance, we might
consider a certain dairy cow, the abil
ity of which was to produce on her
best day 60 pounds of milk. Now, if
this cow is so managed and fed that
she is gradually brought to the point
where Bhe produces in one day 70
pounds and then gradually decreases
in her milk flow from V0 to 69, 69 to
GS, and so on, It will be founjk even
at the time w hen one wishes her to be
dry that she Is still giving from ten
to twenty pounds of milk daily. On
the other hand, we will presume that
the methods employed in feeding this
cow when fresh are improper and she
Is stimulated to produce only 40
pounds of milk in a day when she
should give 70, and then as her ma
ternal Instincts become dull she be
gins to decrease, falling from 40
pounds to 39, 39 to 38, and so on. In all
likelihood she will be giving no more
if as much milk at the time when she
should be dry and as a result her year
ly work has amounted to much less
than though during the firyt 30 days
she has been stimulated by proper
methods ot care and feeding to do the
best in her power. Throughout the

flow of milk which the conditions of
June hue stimulated. When fall comes

that the cow will begin declining in
her flow. The farmer and dairyman

although he is not aware of it, unless
the milk Is weighed daily, the cowa
begin dropping eff seriously in their
milk flow because their feeder and
owner is not following the dictates of
the lessons which he learr.s from Na
ture when she was supplying the con

"Selector" Now

WKMTY-FTVK venrs no-n tlin tnnn with the femerifv to sntr-
ji I g8t that tlie telegraph would disappear from the railroads
witnin nan a century wouia nnve been set down as a 1001 oi
crazy.
Today tho railroad telegraph is on the brink of the abyss
and a little shove will push it over. Thirty of the principal
railroads of the United States are experimenting with a sub
stitute for the telegraph. Eighty have given serious consider
ation to the subject and a majority have decided to begin the
change. These eighty roads operate 2 11,081 miles of track,
70 per cent, of tho country's total, nnd at the present time have 11,C3'3
miles equipped for the new experiment.
The new means' of communication between stations is to be the tele
phone. For several years railroad officials have been considering the tele
phone as a possible substitute for the key in the operation of trains. Noth
ing was done except in a small wa', because there was no way to prevent
every other person on tho line from hearing tho message.
rpi. i: ii ni i ? i. ii . li ! t i frM
a ne liiveiiiioii oi ine selector put me inauer in a new lignt. i lie
"selector," which has been made practicable, is an instrument that makes
it possible for the central office to communicate with any subofficc un
known to all the other stibollices. The suboffices to communicate with
each other must do so through the central office. Only one set of wires
is used.
Recent events have added to the arguments in favor of the telephone.
One of the most effective was the deision by Judg Kenesaw If. Landia
of the United Stales court upholding the nine-hour law for railroad em
ployees. In order to obey this law the railroads must have an additional
force of 15,000 telegraph operators, the estimated salaries of which
would aggregate $10,000,000 a year.
It would be far less difficult to secure competent telephone operators,
the advocates of the telephone train dispatching system contend, because
it would require not more than one-fifth the time for them to qualify.
Another economical argument in favor of the telephone is that in
the country districts the offices could bo manned by "natives" with just
as good, if not better, results than could be obtained by importing opera
tors. The residents would be willing to cccept lower wages in order to
live at home. It is estimated by some of the leading railroads that a
saving of from 15 to 4G per cent, could be effected in this manner.
The recent tieup in Mexico of the national railways because of a
strike of their American telegraph operators is pointed to as another argu
ment in favor of the telephone. The possibility of a general traffic pros-
trat ion would have been averted, the argument goes,
if telephones had been in use, for the telephones could
have been manned by residents of the country.
The perfection of the "selector" is believed to
have met the former objection to the telephone that
it would not be as safe as the telegraph. With every
phoned message from one station to another going
through the central office a constant check would be
kept on the operators and tho trains.

In the recent $137,000 crime at Lewi

extended over a period of five years, aided
by manipulation of the daily balance on

Isn't this a most ridiculous and annoy

gate every amount and figure of the assets and liabilities, to refoot each
column and to find out in this way with absolute correctness the actual
balance.
If he failed to do it he is guilty and must be held criminally and
the government financially responsible for the depositor's money.
For the depositor makes his deposit at a national bank with entir
confidence perhaps to awaken some day to learn that he has lost hit
little savings of long years' toil because of the examiner's carelessness.
And in most cases the depositor must ba contented with the moral
satisfaction when the thief has been given a long term in the penitentiary.
