A TALK WITH THE SIGNALMAN

I risked the man. "What is Hlock slirnnlinK?" "The Work." said he. "is n length of track win oh. 0:1 douMe-track roads, his at its f-Mtranoe n post nnd movable arm ; anil on Fin-Kle-track lines one at each enl. When you read that a lino has every Inch protected by this systfm, it means the entire line Is divided into consecutive blocks." "Is it universally used?" "Sn. There's only one lino from Chicago to New York thus protected, and of the total in the United States oup-'tliiru is 0:1 the I'nion and Southern Pacific. 'Takt? three blocks at tht hctritinincr of a line with a train in each. Train in Urst must not move to second until the train in second goes to third, and iram in second must not co into third until third moves to fourth. As number three rocs into fourth. It tells tntin in two it has done so. and train in two joins into block three makes tbe movable arm say to train in one. vwurv 0.1. 1 ve pone into uiock two "As an illustration, let's take three connect in.tr rooms at vour home, com municating without doors. Now attach on the tischt hand troitipr from the front to the back of each door frame a movable stick which can be pushed to rluht angles with the door frame, or rointed down about as you would point your arm at a sjot on the tloor two feet from you. Cot that? Your stick represents the semaphore.' or arm. Now. then, the miJdle room is your private oflice. Your servant knows bv the arm beinsj at rlht angles she must not enter, and vi en you are not in there the stick will point downward at d degrees and she may usner a visitor In. Ail very simple you sav: but on a busy morning you rush in your office and forget to change the arm to denote occupied. The servant ushers in the last person In the world you want there, just then and the scheme is a disastrous failure. Then you Improve so the stick left to Itself will remain firmlv at rieht angles. Can't forpret that, you fmure. Next thlnsr you do is to forpet to chanpe me position of the stick. The emplove sees sipnal 'on-upied' and turns away an important client with disaster almost equal to that caused by admitting the one she shouldn't. You change things so the stick will move from right angle to pointing to the floor, when you are not in your ofr.ee. You can in walking from the front room Into your office release the arm. which will go to horizontal : it will stay in that position as long as you are in there; and when you walk out of your office into the back room it will be pulled down to Indicate vou have vacat ed: and your employe may take the next pal'.er in. In other words, you have changed this device from a possible human forgetfulness to a positive mechanical performance: you have an automatic signal. bubstltute the consecutive lencths of 1 railway for your rooms, and you have the block signal." "Then, as I understand it. a sema phore arm treated at the entrance to a block set at right angle to the post is a signal to an approaching train to 'stop.' and when pointing diagonally toward the grund means kefp on going?" "Yes." "You call it automatic?" "It is. Just as your stick Is kept at 60 degrees incline, when your oflice is vacant, so is the semaphore ami on the line when a block Is unoccupied. When a train enters a block it affects the energy which is part cf automatic sig naling, so that t.ie arm poes to and remains horizontal as long as the block iJ occupied.' "You build these slgntls so their normal position is stop and then yuu api ly a force that makes them thow keep going. Why is thnt?" "because the trains must keep going. They have not only the problems of safetj. but o hurry up. They woik by minutes, and seconds. The first duty is safety. Having that cinched, the automatic hangs out the signal to keep moving. Only when something oceu's docs this scheme cause signal to go to step position." & "What's the energy you referred to?" "Electric current." "Where does it come from?" "rattery near each post." "How is it worked?" "The rails of each block are made Just as if all one piece, by connecting .all joints with wire. Then connecting the extreme ends forms d complete circuit. The current flows in this circuit. Machinery made out of experience, wheels, springs and things J:? moved by this current : and Its move ments either hold the arm down or per mit It to stay horizontal. "With nr train in block, the current makes the mechanism pull the arm down and hold it there. When a train enters a block it destroys this combination. The wheels and freies combined with the rails make a shorter circuit. Klectrie current deserts th longer for the shorter way round. The energy that held the arm down is withdrawn, asid up it swings to horizontal. "Kaeh block Is independent of all other blocks. When the last wheels of ?. train leave It. the current resumes its flow, and tho signal arm away baik at the entrance is pulled down to proceed, liefore the hind wheels have ceased doing what I've just stated, the Cront wheels of the locomotive have entered the next block and repeated what it did in the previous block?."

"How .-out the single track?" "The automatic arrangement is the same, only

there is a signal at each end.' ! "Isn't it a possible thing for a train to enter a sinple track at one end on the same instant another enters at the opposite end? What then?" "Yes but we have that taken care of. On double track, a train through the signal talks only to the train behind. On the single track it not only talks back, but also to one which may be coming from the opposite direction. This is done by the current overlapping from one block to the next. Hcfore the entrance to a single-track block is reached the train sets a, stop signal at the far end trf the block It is about to enter. And as it enters the Llock it also sets the entrance signal to stop, just as 13 done on double-truck." "I low does an engineer know before he sees the home arm what it will signal?" "We put up another signal from a half mile to a mile from the entrance to a Mock In the direction from which tie train approaches. It is called "Oistaiit.' The one at the entrance is called th-.1 'Home' signal. The distant indicates the iHisitlon of home signal, see?" . "is the distant distinguished from the homo signal, to aid tho engineer?" "Yes, the 'Distant' is painted yel'.ow. with black bar, and has a forked cud; the 'Home' red, with white bar and square end." "You said a, while ago the stop signal is displayed only when something occurs. Anything but trains occur?" "Now you tquch the most Important feature of the oitfit, nnd the principal reason why the arm is made so that whon left to itself it will stay firmly at stop. A-s it is constructed it cann"t show anything but stop, unless the entire combination of rails, wire, current, magnet, etc., are working perfectly. If a wire parts, n rail breaks, a battery falls, a switch point opens the slightest, then the combination fails, the arm is released and resumes horizontal position. The engineer knows; you fee, when signal says stop: there may be a train, an open switch, a break in tho track or in the signaling apparatus." "What is done at night, when the semaphore arm cannot be seen?" "Lights of several colors are used on these same posts. These are seen through spectacles in the butt or weighted end of the arm. and are displayed and obscured, according to the signal." "Whv the name spectacle?" "That's what it is. Th 1 light is white cr ordinary flame color, supplied by an eight-day lamp. It will burn eight days without replenishing, although all lamps are refilled every four cr live days. When the home signal is in stop position, the engineer sees the flame through a ml glass. That's stop, and it is used only in the home signals. If distant signal is at caution lie sees through yellow plass. Y'ellow Is used only in the distant signal. It tells the engineer it "is the distant, and to be prepared to stop at the homo signal, lie may see through green glass. That means proceed. a:id Is used in both home and distant signal." "What does a white light mean?" "Well, it is so easy to have we don't dare use it. As a white light on a semaphore can be displayed by breaking spectacle glasses, you can understand why it Is impossible In our scheme." "How about places where two or morelines cross at grade?" "The general principle, movements of arm by, day. and colors of light at night are the sanuv but being greatly compli cated all signals are coutrolk-J by levers operated by men fro:u a central station The crossing' and contiguous tracks are governed by the Interlocking system. "When in perfect order and unoccupied it displays stop to every track ap proaching the crossing. The Mock, yon remember, shows proceed, under such conditions. Any change fiVnn stop In interlocking. must Ik made by the signalman. To display proceed, h must first lock all other approaches with tho stop dis played. lie cannot possibly do other wise. After he lias signaled the train to proceed he cannot change the routo until tho train has moved over and out of the interlocking region." "Does a train entering an Inter locking region set the home signal stop, same as In the bio system?" "Ye. Interlocking plants extend- from the crossing 3,190 feet out each track, where distant signals are placed. The home signals are 550 feet from crossing. Only the signalman can display proceed; but the train automatically sets the s.top signal. "Xow. my friend. I have given you all the principal feiturcs of both systems. There are numerous variations, each specially adapted to some peculiar condition. In yards where there are many tracks and little room for posts, bridges are used. Where there are diverging tracks, two or more of these arms are placed on one post and so on." "Are all lir.es completely equipped in this manner?" "No. There are about 11.000 miles. The only line thus protected every inch from Chicago to California is via the Northwestern. Union and Southern Pacific. One-third of the 11.000 miles of automatic signaling is on the Harriman lines and ' the Northwestern has more miles of double-track automatic than any other railway." H. W. Kmerson.

Beef Cattle I1 on Sllasre. I During recent years a number of the state experimental stations hav? arrled on a series of experiments which have demonstrated that sllago can advantageously be fed to beef cattle. The Tennessee Experimental Sta tion has especially given close atten tion to this matter, probably more S3 than any other station, and In one 01 Us bulletins shows how, silage in creases the carrying capacity of the land. Ordinarily from two to tnree acres of blue grass is required to carry a 1,000-pound steer after six oionths. when gaining from 300 'to 400 pounds. Four 800-pound steers were fed for l"-0 days on the production of less than an acre of land In the form of silage and gained SGC pounds during that period. When beef Is raised on long that is high-priced, the above facts show especial strength in favor of silage. In 1003 a feed test was carried on by the Michigan Station for. the purpose of ascertaining the relative number of pounds of beef that could be produced from corn fed in the form of silage. In the form of shock corn and in the form of corn and corn meal. The corn was secured from three different pieces of land, each nearly an acre In size. In addition to the corn fed in this man ner the steers were fed daily rations of 3 pounds of corn and cob meal, -pounds of oil meal and 4 pound3 of clover hay. After the experiment had continued for twelve weeks the average daily gain of the steers had been as follows: For the silage-fed lot. 2.22 pounds; for the shock-fed. 2.02. and for the corn and cob meaV lot, 1.S9 pounds. While it may be argued that this experiment should be repeated before conclusions can be drawn from it. still so far as these figures go the results were in favor of harvesting the corn In form of silage. IokfiliilItlcs of Our I'nrm I.nntl. From the standpoint of tho most reliable and recent Investigations and information, our land, handled In ac cordance with certain natural laws that determine its proper cultivation, will not only furnish food and cloth ing for an immensely greater popula tlon for ages, but will supply fuel and lisrht and oower when coal and.petro leum shall have been exhausted. Cut we must look to better methods of soil usage for the alternative of bringing under cultivation unused and aban doned swampy conditions, although adding a vast total to our cultivable fields, will not always suffice to meet the growing demand. Already many sections of congested population are calling upon outside sources for food, and many of the large cities at times actuallv suffer from vegetable famines. Such shortages are due to more or less local and abnormal conditions, but might become general and permanent unless wise foresight should make pro vision for feeding our rapidly Increas ing population. The producing possibility of our cul tivable lands becomes almost inccn ceivable to the mind when we consid er that only a smill proportion of the land nominally in farms is actually under cultivation, and that our acreage yields are ridiculously low in compar i$on with those of highly developed agricultural countries like Germany, France and England, notwithstanding that our soils are naturally a3 produc tive, says the American Review of Re views. lour Hörne Kein. A correspondent asks how can a pair of lines be rigged up for Tour horses fo that each horse will have a line to each side of bit, thus doing away with the tying together of horses heads. The two sketches indicate arrange meats of lines that should prove satisfactory.

Dairy Farm Implement. Every dairyman should endeavor to have as many labor-saving appliances around and In his barn as possible. For Instance, the removal of manure from a dairy barn entail3 a great deal of hard work. However, the work mar be greatly lessened If the farmers will Install a manure carrier, which runs on a track. These carriers cost little in comparison to the amount of labor they save. Every dairy farmer should have a manure spreader. One spreader may do the work of several men in the spreading of manure on the fields. The manure Is spread more evenly and each ton returns more value for this reason. No dairy farmer can afford to be without a manure spreader. But he should buy a standard make. Inland Farmer. Tor narb Wire Cuts. When a horse has been injured on wire the first thing to do is to stop the flow ol blood; this may as a rule be done by bandaging it up tight. It may also frequently be best to app'.y powreded alum or common saleratus. both of which wil! generally be found effective. In a few hours, considerable swelling will set in; thi3 should be reduced either by applying cold water irerpiently, or, what is really better, t.p'ying pure kerosene oil, not only to the wound, but also to the swollen f r'it3. Xo bandage should be kept on .where kerosene Is used, as it will then pause the hair to fall off temporarily, and a3 soon as it is safe to do sc,- the fore snould be carefully washed with oft v, titer yul castile soap.

Agricultural Epitomist. Hot "Water Heater. As a means of providing hot water for washing in the kitchen or for cleaning and sterlizing dairy utensils cow wrrs the tank shown in the illustration i3 imple and cheap. Any stove in which the iron coils can be heated will serve the purpose. Fall Cnre of Poultry. The fall of the year is the time to buy pure bred stock, whether of males only or of both sexes. Breeders do not keep over winter more than enough to complete their breeding pens, aad will readily dispose of 'their surplus stock at a fair price. It is bet ter to buy fowls in the fall than to procure eggs of pure breeds in the spring. A pair of hens will lay per haps 230 eggs at least 100 of them being early in the season thus pro ducing a large number of chicks and avoiding the shipment of eggs by ex press and the likelihood of breakage, It will be still cheaper, if buying pure breeds, to procure half a dozen, a male and five pullets, as they will cost less proportionately and give an opportun lty for hatching thicks quite early in the spring without being compelled to wait too, long to secure a setting of eggs. It will pay every one interested in poultry to use pure breeds, and the fall Is the iest time to buy them. Field and Farm. Preserving Decf. When the animal heat is all out and the meat thoroughly cooled, cut it into convenient sized pieces for cooking weigh out the .meat and allow eight pounds of salt to 100 pounds of meat Sprinkle a light layer of salt in th bottom of a clean, sweet, hardwood barrel or a stone jar, then pack beef in closely to a depth of, say five to seven inches, then put on a layer of salt and so on until the beef is all in, reserving enough salt for a good layer on top of the meat. After the package hza stood over night add for each 100 pounds of meat four pounds of sugar two ounces baking soda and two ounces saltpeter, dissolved in a gallon of tepi water; three gallons more water should cover this quantity. Weight to keep all under the brine. Strength of Hone la 1 1 oar a. The effect of feed on the strength of bone in pigs forms the text of a bul Ietin by Nebraska Experiment Sta tion. The experiment shows very marked increase in the strength o bone when tankage or ground bone is fed in addition to corn. In determin ing the strength of bones the twe principal bones in each leg of each animal were removed and broken in a machine. There were four pig3 fed in each lot, making the figures given the average of the breaking of thirtywo bones in each lot. The average break ing strength per 100 pounds live weight of hogs after twenty-two weeks feeding was as follows: Lot 1, corn 3'J5 pounds; lot 2, corn and shorts 3 pounds; lot 3, corn and skim milk 509 pounds; lot 4, corn and tankage, ÖS0 pounds; lot 5, corn and ground bone, 6S1 pounds. IlecN and the Scuse of Smell. Recent experiments on showy flow ers like the poppy tend to show that insects are not always attracted to flowers by the brightly colored petals but rather by the perception doubt less by means of smell that there is honey or pollen. In these experiments the unopened flower, bud is Inclosed in a gauze Let, so as to protect it from Insects, and when It expands the pet als are carefully removed wlthou touching the remaining iarts with the fingers (for bees avoid a flower If the smell of human fingers is left on it), and the petalless flowers receive practically as many insect visits a untouched flowers do. Uar-Knttn? Aulmals. The hay consumed by different ant maJs does not vary greatly from three pounds dally for each 100-pound weight of the animals.- The following table is the result of various expert ments by different persons, and will be useful to farmers who wish to determ ine by calculation beforehand how their hay will hold out for the win ter: Working horses, 3.0S pounds milch cows, 2:40 pounds; young grow iug cattle, 3.08 pounds; steers, 2.84 pounds; dry cows, 2.42 pounds; sheep 3 pounds.
