The Natron Cutoff.
Now that the separation of the
Southern Pacitio Railroad from
the Harriiuan linos is virtually
completed, not! vity on the Natron
Klamath cutoff and on the Klara-ath-Weed
Change, which will re
duce the running time of trains
between Portland and San
Francisco, will be resumed.
Julius Kruttschnitt, who was
director of maintenance and
operation for both the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, has
become chairman of the board of
directors of the Southern Pacific
and will give personal attention
to this detail of construction.
The work thus far has been car
ried onunder-Mr. Kruttschnitt's
direction but it has not been
proceeding with speed satisfact
ory to the people who will be af
fected by its completion.
However, this piece of work is
one that presents many engineer
ing difficulties and one in which
permanency and future safety
nil In! r thau Hpei d are consider
tion.
Activity dnring the present
Winter I confined to the tunnel
noar Natron, which now is ir.ore
thsrj&O per cent completed. It
i probable thut it will bo finished
before the end of the year.
Meanwhile, however, work can
proceed on the open ground soutb
of Nation and north of Klamalb
Fall. There ia a gap of about
100 mile south of the tunnel over
which construction must be done
before the two ends are united.
Arrangements also have been
made for improving the line be
tween Weed, Cal., and Klamalb
Falls. This formerly was a log
glng road and was not built with
an idea tbat it ever would be
used as a art of a trunk rail
road. It follows the contour of
the Country, which is rough and
rocky and Its profile 1 serrated,
like the teetb of a saw only not so
regular. 1
The now line has bean survey
ed from a point about 10 miles
south of Miunl Hebron, Cal.. to
the mail lines. It is probable
that the new cutoff will connect
with the main line a short dis
trict south of Weed, the present
connection.,
This work has been under way
for nearly four years now. When
it first was undertaken the en
gineer figured that it could lie
finished within three years. But
physical and financial difficulties
were encountered and delays
resulted.
It is said that the work be
tween Natron and Klamath can
bo finished within a year if .it is
given close attention.
Relieved of his jurisdiscton
over the Ikrnman properties
Mr. Krutlsehnitt will be able to
give this work closer study
E. K. Cuivin, vice president and
general nitinnger of the Southern
Pacific, has given, it is under
stood that ho is eager soon to
have it finished.
The new line will bo extremely
valuable In handling both freight
and passenger traffic. It reach
ex its extreme altitude at the
Natron tunnel und from t'mt
point to San Francisco there is
a gradual ' descending grade.
This will overcome the numerous
np and down grades on the
present line between Eugene and
Weed, as the main line trains
will be operated via the cutotT.
Not only will the grades be
eliminated but more toan S0.0C0
degrees of curvature will be
saved.
It is estimated that regular
passenger trains will be able to
run between Portland and San
Francisco over the new road in
22 hours. It required 2" hours
over the present line.
A Chilly Problem.
How cold Is It when It la twice at
cold a 2 denroea nlwve xero? There
are two torus, one marked 0 on the
thermometer and oue known as abso
lute zero, which la understood to mark
the absence of all heat. The lero ol
Kiihreuliclt' thermometer Is obtained
by Imnierslnn n tube of mercury In a
mixture of snow mid common salt and
mni-liliiK the pliice where the mercury
stands hi the tube. Absolute zero is
loll decrees below this Eero. Now,
"twice as cold" la exactly equivalent
to half as hot Therefore, when It is
half ns hot ns 2 degrees above zero, or
4111 V.. It Is S10.5 decrees below the
zero ou the thermometer.
Franklin's Kit Experiment.
Commenting on Itenjnmlii Franklin's
kite experiment, which proved thnt
lightning and electricity are the same,
a scientist anjs: "It was one of the
most brilliant examples .of luck yet
recorded. To attempt the extraction
of lightulug flushes from a lowering
sky was almost suicidal. Even at this
lute day tluild persons occasionally fly
to feather beds, alt on glass legged
chnlra or And refuge in rubber boots
during thunderstorms. A repetition of
Franklin's exgierlment cost bis Immedi
ate imitator his life."

CARE OF COLTS IN WINTER.
Liberal Feeding Needed te Develop the
Young Animal.
Tbere I great tendency on the
part of many to neglect the colt on
the farm during the wlutcr. It too
often happena that there I an ap
parent shortage of feed, and the reult
I that colt are llghted. One way of
ruining young colt I to have bl
growth it u n led during the 8 nit year or
two. Moat of the colt on the farm
get good mart the Brat nil month of
their live from the fact that they are
allowed to suckle the dam during tbat
time. Karly fall provide them with
good pasture, and polhiy( they have
been receiving mme oat or ahared a
part of the feed of the mare. 8ucb
treatment put them In good hape for
the winter. Hut liberal feeding must
be kept up If a strong, well developed
and matured home la expected. The
coif system require considerable
amount of bone and muscle building
material, and thl cn only be had by
feeding nltrogenou feed. uch
ont. a little bran, ollmeal and. If ob
tainable. ome clover hay. The feed
ing of corn, o often practiced. Is not
desirable for the growing colt, but had
better be confined to the matured
homes. Accos to the straw pile will
not hurt a growing colt. but he Rhonld
not be compelled to rely on the straw
pile for a livelihood.
The question ia often asked. Why
do we find so many promising colt at
the county fairs during the fall and
uch poor yearlings? The foregoing
statement I In part explanatory of
such a condition of affairs.
One of the best form of Investment
on the farm I the liberal feeding of
farm anlmnls of all kinds, and the colt
la no exception. A well bred colt If
properly taken care of and fed the
right kind of feed during hi first three
year of life will bring from 75 to
$11)0 more when three years old than
the one that is neglected nd poorly
fd. CJood young horses are always In
demand on the market and can only
be supplied from the farms where colts
receive the proper care and treatment

Causa and Treatment of Curb.
Anything thut puts too much stress
on the llgnment situated on the back
part of the hock Joint, such as hold
ing back heavy loads, going down hill
or backing up too heavy loads or the
hind legs slipping too far under the
horse's body, mny cause curb disease,
write Dr. D. Mcintosh In Orange Judd
Farmer. It is
also caused by
kicks or by the
whltt'etree strik
ing against the
buck of the hock
Joint.
There will be
swelling and heat
In the part and
lameness. Id
some cases there
will be swelling,
but no lameness.
If the swelling is
hot and tender to
the touch mix
half an ounce
acetate of lead
and two ounces
tincture of arnica
WHERE CURB COMES. wth qnrt of
water. Shnke up and apply a little to
the swollen part three times a day and
contluuo until the heat and swelling
disappear. If there should be any
swelling after the heat and lameness
have disappeared mix one teaspoonful
of blulodide of mercury with eight
tablespoonfuls of lard. Kub on a little
of this mixture with the fingers, let it
remain on for tweuty-four hours, then
wash off with warm water and soap
and repent the blister in three weeks
If needed. In cases where there is
swelling, but no heat or lameness, the
lotion would be of no use, but the
above blister should be used as direct
ed. In old or long standing cases of
curb, If the animal is not lame, it Is
best to let It alone, as medicines woul
be of no service.
Fattening Cattle.
The Indlnnn experiment station has
found that the best winter ration .for
futteulng cattle consists of two and
one-half pounds of cottonseed meal per
1,000 pounds of live weight and all the
corn silage the animal will eat, with a
small amount of dry roughage like
clover or alfalfa hay or corn stover or
oat straw added. Steers fed on this
ration made the best gains with the
highest finish and. greatest economy of
any combination. ' A

Concrete For Fireproofing. j
Concrete Is rapidly coming to the .
fore as a fireproohng medium and as a
common material In building construc
tion. It has many marked advantages
and also several serious drawbacks.
It owes Its strength to the hydration
of the cement, which In setting takes
up a certain amount of water of crys
tallization. At temperatures above 600
degrees F. this water begins to be
driven otT. and the cement loses
strength. When the dehydration is :
complete the strength ot tne cement is
practically destroyed. However, de-
hydrated concrete Is a poor conductor
of heat, nnd therefore the process of
dehydration In the Interior of the
mass Is slow. The length of time the
dehydrated material will remain In
place and retard the process of dehy
dration will depend somewhat on the
force of the bose streams nsed to ex
tinguish the Are. In actual fires con
crete has been destroyed in this man
ner to varying depths of one-half Inch
to two Inches. F. P. Walther In En
gineering Magazine.
New Milk Receptacle.
A patent has been granted to Edwlu
A. Hayden of Salt Lake City on a milk
can which may help to solve the prob
lem ot delivering pure milk In the
cities. Dis device consists of a can
within a can, a dead air space sur
rounding the Inner receptacle. The
inner can is protected from extremes
of temperature by an envelope of as
besto or other nonconductor. It may
be removed easily for cleaning. One
cover, when closed, seals both cans.
Mr. Hayden says experiments have
shown that the milk will be preserved
for many hours at the temperature at
which It is put In and tbat the device
can be manufactured cheaply.
A Yielding Tir Filler.
There appears to be considerable In
terest lu the provision of yielding filler
for tubular rubber tires. William Ed
gar Howser and Albert M. Wolt of
Greensboro, N. C have patented a tire
filler which consists of pulverized
cork, sulphur and corn oil with the
proportion of corn oil about three
fourths of the entire composition.
