A Novel Railroad.

A French engineer proposes railroads
having single rail, upon which the
middle wheels of the locomotive and
freight wagons run, while their outer
wheels move upon the common road bed.
This rail is made like those in use for
street car purposes, and known as the V
rails, into which the wheel fits closely
enough to be retained III position. The
road bed is made of ties two and half
feet apart and four feet long, upon the
center of which the rail rests. OF
course, that portion of the road upon
which the outer wheels travel is we'll
made, and as hard as practicable. The
greater part of the weight is arranged to
bear upon the rail itself, while the out
side wheels are useful mainly in keeping
the wagons evenly balanced. Several
roads of this sort are already in opera
ton in France, and engines weighing ten
tons have been found capable of draw
ing load of nifty tons up an incline of
one foot in fifty, at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. Smaller engines, Of half
this weight, will draw thirty-five tons,
up a similar incline, at almost twice the
speed named. Such roads are built, it is
estimated, at $4,000 per mile, unless extra
road ballasting is required, when So, 800
will cover their cost. By the adoption
of such system of roads every farmer
can adjust his wagons to run upon them,
and by tapping one at any convenient
point with road running from his own
barn-door, can send his "truck,' liter
ally, to market in comparatively inde-
pendent and inexpensive manner, and
without the delays and transfers now
inevitable.

An old farmer in Allen county, In
diana, has a well-stocked smoke-house
which was repeatedly broken into, and
many cheice ham carried away. Losing
faith in the efficiency of locks, and still
desirous of saving his bacon, he pur-
chased two savage watch-dogs, and
turned them into the smoke house to
stand guard. That night he slept in
peace, assured that his hams were safe.
In the morning he visited his smoke
house to see how matters stood, and
found not only that the meat was all
gone, but that the dogs were hanging by
their heels to the hooks lately occupied
by the hams.

Hem1oc1e a Rat Proof Wood.

1t is well known that the brown rat,
or Mus decanus of the zoologist, is the
most pestiferous rodent inflicted upon
the commercial world. 1t will cut its
way through pine or oaken plank with
the facility of sharp carpenter. 1t is
the pest alike of merchants, importers,
grocers and farmers. The sum of its
combined ravages, estimated in dollars
and cents, since it's Introduction in the
United States, would materially diminish
our national debt to-day, if not entirely
liquidate it. Being surrounded by these
animals, found it necessary to keep
fruits, butter, cheese and other articles
in boxes made of hemlock, not the Conf
um of the botanist, but the Abiss Cana
densis of the arborist. In these boxes l
could keep the most toothsome delecacies
in the cellar with impunity, even though
the boxes afforded free ventilation,
which, in many cases, is highly neces-
sary.
TO test the matter still further, made
a box of dry hemlock boards, perforating
each end of the box with Is inch circu-
lar hole. Into this 1 put a large healthy
rat, caught in hemispherical wire trap,
nailed it up securely, put it in a dark,
quiet place, and awaited the result. On
inspection, at the end of twenty-four
hours, found he had scarcely more than
touched the wood 1 returned the box,
leaving the rat to his cogitations, which
horn of the dilemma to choose. At the
end Of forty-eight hours 1 made him an
other visit. He had evidently come to
the conclusion that remaining inactive
was to strand upon Scylla, while the
effort to buy his liberty could do no worse
than wreck him upon Charybdis. He
had enlarged the hole sufficient to get his
head out, in which condition 1 found and
despatched him on the third morning of
his incarceration.-Gor.o Of Medical and
Surgical Reporter.

There is no reason for reducing
the production Of cotton that will
not apply to all agricultural products
and to manufactures. The cotton
planters did not suffer alone. While
their bountiful crop was maturing,
wheat, throughout the great wheat
growing region of the Northwest was
selling at under dollar; millions of
bushels for not over seventy five
cents. In the great corn-growing
region the price of corn to the farm
er was about twenty-five cents all
through the fall and half the winter.
The packers of the whole pork crop
have suffered loss of more than
one-third of the cost. The war de-
pressed the price of the staple pro-
ducts of the farm. and the decline in
cotton acted directly upon their mar
ket.
Yet the Agricultural Commissioner
is insensible to all the depressions of
the farm products of the North by
the war and by large crops: but he
turns 10 the South, and seeks to cut
off our market there by advising the
planters to reduce their cotton plant
ing, and to substitute those products
which they buy from the North.
Ought not the farmers of the
country to be relieved from this agri-
cultural bureau, which has now set
itself at work to destroy their mar
ket ? So long as its services went no
further than raising hot-house flow
ers to supply boquets to the wives
and ladies of members of Congress,
and for the Presidents dinner and
party decorations, and to furnishing
fresh vegetables in advance of their
season to particular members, and to
issuing reports filled with innocent
platitudes and statistical guesses, the
Bureau, if useless, was also almost
harmless.
But now that it has taken in hand
the business of the country, and has
assumed the mission of preaching
the limitation of products, and of
advising one part of the country to
cease trading with another part, and
to abandon its most profitable crop
in order that it may stop such trad
ing, it has become necessary that this
costly, useless, and now disgraceful
and destructive establishment should
either be reconstructed or broken
up. Under the name of promoting
he interest of the farmers, it is cut
ing their throats.
And the Commissioners conclu-
'ion is chiefly an assault upon Divine
Providence for its bounties. Much

To KEEP THE FEET DRY.-We saw.
some years ago, in one of the western
papers, (the Western Farmer, we think, }
the following: ''Apply castor oil to the
boot when dry and soak it by the fire till
the leather is saturated. Treat the soles
in the same way, being careful to dry in
well, so that they will not grease the
carpets. We once treated pair of calf
boots i'll this way, and few days after
we walked five miles in saturated snow
and water fro n six to ten inches deep at
every step, and came out with feet per-
fectly dry. Castor oil will keep the
leather soft, pliable, and black, though
not glossy, and quite impervious to wa
ter.''
