WHAT RArrRoADs DO FOR FARM

WHAT RAILROADS DO FOR FARM
ERs.-To haul foity bushels Of corn,
titty miles on wagon, would cost at
least $l2 for team, driver and expenses.
A iai!road would transport ii for 81, at
most. Allowing ON an average Of forty
bushels per acSe, tie crop would be
worth So more per acre, o! 8 per cent.
on 500, AS the relative advantage is
about the same for o;her crops, it is
clear tina: railroad pass;ng through a
town would add Sio0 per acre 10 the
value Of the farms. A town ten miles
square contains sixty,four thousand
acres. An increase Of 500 per acre is
cyial 10 Sc. 100000, or enough 10 build
Two hundred miles Of railroad, even il
it cost S32 900 per mile. But Two
hundred miles Of road would extend
through twenty towns, len miles square.
aud COST buI $40 per acre If taxed upon
the land. These figures are given
msrely rs an illustration. 1flhe far mers
had taxed themselves TO build all the
railroads in this country, and given
them away. 10. any companies that
would stock aud run them, the present
increased value Of their lands would
have well repaid all the outlay.

" CLOVER AS MGSuRE.--In an article
Published in the REPORT Of the Agri
cultural 'Departrhsntra correspondent
says: The cheapest, most easily At
tainable and best Of all manures for a
corn crop, is. a dense r.ass of red clio.
yer, either in its green or riPened and
dried state, plowed down three or four
inches only; just deep enough to pre-
vent waslage, and yet near enough TO
The surface Of the ground TO be acted
on by the suu's heat and air. In its
decay, clover thus affords certain, ac-
live and constant nourishment to the
Young and expanding roots Of the corn.
Both corn aud wheat grown over a
clover lay are very generally free from
disease aud insects, and better in yield
and qualify than crops grown on o'
wilh. animal manures. But TO secure
tits, We must manure the clover Will,
yet young, with liberal supplies Of plas
Ter, lime, or fine well rotted manure
spread broadcast over the growing
plants.

WooTsN CAR WnEELs.-W OGDEN
ear whee.s. il is reported, have been in
.troduced recently on one Of the New
York railways. Though these wheels
cost three times the price Of the ordi.
nary cast hun wheels, The expense, il is
contended, is Of little consequence When
compared with tho advantages gained.
They iide smoothly, making conversa.
tion, reading. and even writing, an easy
task on the cars. They are made Of
thoroughly seasoned elm, or teak, with
steel tires; are very durable, and will
wear. by reason Of their elasticity and
durability, over four hundred thousand
miles Of railway, while the average use
of the ordinary iron wheel is but fifty
thousand miles, after which il is neees-
sary to break il up. II Is also asserted
that this wheel is so constructed that i.
is impossible for the tire TO become dis
placed, and that the wear 10 the track
is much less than by the cast iron
wheel. Wooden wheels are used on
the Metropolitan Underground Rail-
way, of London, where the frequent
and sudden starlings aud stoppages ol
the trains are calculated to rack and
destroy the material Of which they are
composed. No accident, il is asserted
has yet occurred on that road.

Saving Manure.

Every man of common sense must
admit that the rules 10 be adopted for
a rational system Of saving manure.
mus. DO based on the know ledge Of
this process and we NAV lay down
the Gllowing rules in relation 10 il:
1. The ground selected for the dis
position Of stable manure should be
even in order to permit the'equal dis
trioulion Of the manure on IL, aud thus
secure the heap uniformity in thickness.
Only in this case the process Of aputre-
faction viii proceed, regularly in every
part Of the heap, and lis body viii
prove to be homogeneous character.
2. The manure should be protected
against the direct rays Of the sun, in
order 10 prevent the too rapid advance
Of The pu,refacliye process, and n con-
sequent generation Of heat which will
incur considerable loss Of ammonia.
Practical experiments made with equal
weights Of stable, manure exposed to
the sun, and with that under cover,
show the effect Of the latter 10 be,
within q certain time, about twenty. five
per cent greater than tie former. ,,s..
8. The manure heap should be kept
moderately moist; if il be TOO dry, the
degree Of heat then produced will vola
,ilize ammonia If too wet, An acid hur
| mus will be formed which being soluble
in water, acts very mjuIiously on veg
citation. In order best TO attain thi:
end, the ground should be slightly in
ciined, and AL the Auid that runs from
the heap be collected in a pit, and from
time to time scattered over the heap.
