some day our Island farmers may be raising the new breed of beef cattle known as Cherry-red Santa Gertruids now supplying juicy steaks to dinner tables across the nation.

These beautiful, gentle cattle are

custom-built for hot climates. They turn grass into meat equally well whether the weather is hot or balmy. 60.000 head of these cattle now roam the King Ranch in southern Texas and are the first officially recognised new breed of beef cattle developed in the U. B. in more than a century.

The air chime horn now being used on many railroads was in- vented by R. I. Swanson. a can- adan railroad man. Actually. three main types of air-chime horns have been developed; one has a single tone. one has 3 notes, and one has 5 notes.

The air-chime horns operate on compressed air forced through a diaphragm. They require less air then would be needed to sound an old-fashioned steam whistle con- verted to compressed air. -

some of the railroads changing to the new horns use the one notera for switch engines. three noters for irelghts. and 5-noters for passenger trains.

The diesel's horn never was popular because of.its ears-plitting noise.
