How to Run a Fast Train.

A Danbury man is confident that in
time passenger trains will be run at the
ate::of mile minute He is revolv-
ing a plan for taking on passengers
without stopping the train. and thus
save this time in running He thinks
a rack formed Of a scoop made Of net
ting. with back to it, and horizon
tai bar ten inches below. will do it.
This is to be attached to the cars and
worked on powerful hinge. He was

Of his machine, last evening. explain
ing its working to an interested audi
tory. His idea is to have the passen-
gers stand 10 line on the station plat
form, with their backs to the approach
ing train, and near enough to where it
will pass to bring them within range of
the scoop. On the approach of the
rack the horizontal bar strikes the ex-
pectant passenger 10 the hollow back Of
the knees which causes him to lop
backwards, when he is caught in the
scoop and whirled into the car and
the next rack back takes the next for
ward passenger; and so on until all
are taken up.
''How are you going to land them

The Farmer N Eeedsth All.

BY CHARLES GODFREY LELAND
Ny lord grides through the palace-gate,
Ny lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor plows the foaming sea,
The huntsman k lis the good red deer,
And the soldier wars withonta fear
But fall to each whate' er befall,
IS The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cherry-red the sword,
Priest preacheth pure, the holy word.
Dame Alice worketh braiding we'll,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell:
The tap wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fsheth in the mere,
And courtiers ruf1e, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine,
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by;
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done bet here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere.
But work or rest, whate'er befall,
The farmer be must feed them all.

Sod as a Fertilizer.

During the past year | made limit
ca experiment ID the use Of grass sod
as fertilizer. 1t was desired to plant
piece of worn out land in cabbage.
Home made manure was exhausted,
and it was doubtful whether CONNER
cial fertilizers would pay on land so
utterly destitute Of humus and all other
carbonaceous matter. Burrows were
opened four feet apart with a one horse
turn-plough which was run twice each
way, opening to depth and width Of
about ten inches The roadsides we're
resorted to for wild grass sods, which
we're taken up with spade, of a width
to suit the furrows. and Of such length
as the sod would allow. These were
turned bottom upward in the burrows,
which we're then filled full Of loose
earth with a hoe. After the first rain,
the plants, which we're of good size,
were dibbled into the loose earth, the
roots reaching down generally to the
sods. The plants gained rapid growth
within few days. and the result was
such crop Of cabbages as have never
seen produced except in soils in high
state Of fertility previously, or made SO
for the special crop by very liberal
of fertilizers The sod was
a source Of both moisture ana fertility,
and maintained q thriftineas in the
plants during a drouth, which seriously
affected adjoining crops.-Plantation.
