SLEEPING-CARS WRECKED.

The third accident referred to was on the
Washington City, Virginia Midland and
Great Southern railroad, and occurred about
4 A. M. yesterday. The southward-bound
night train, No. 52, ran off the track at or near
Kettle Run. One of the sleeping-cars was
totally wrecked, aud another sleeper badly
torn to pieces. Both Of the sleeping-cars
were thrown down an embankmcnt thirty
feet from the track. 1t is stated that
there would have been more damage had
not the draw-Eead" to one OF the sleep
ers pulled out. Eight or ten persons were
injured.
The train encountered broken rail near
Manassas. The sleeper from Boston to
Danvile and the sleeper from Washington
to New Orleans left the track. The obstruc-
ton was removed yesterday, and trains are
now running on schedule time. Among
the wounded was Captain Stokes Boyd, Of
Florida, slightly, and W. A. McAllister, of
Atlanta. Most OF the passengers were in
valids, on their way to Florida. OF the
wounded all have comparatively slight in
iuries except Mr.. Lyle, OF Pennsylvania,
and the negro porter, the former OF whom,
being over seventy years Of age, may not
recover.

THE RESULT BRIEFLY STATED-oNE EXCHANGE
OF SUOTs-NoBODY SCRATCHED.
Notwithstanding the many conflicting
statements, originating mostly with the
| New York papers, in regard to the late hos
tile "meeting" between James Gordon
Bennett, of New York, and Mr.. Frederick
MAY, OF that city, growing out OF personal
assault by the latter upon the former on ac-
count OF offences to his family, the result
ant facts are few and very simple. As
stated in the Sun yesterday, on what
was indicated to be most direct au-
thority, there was but one exchange
of shots between the parties, and
neither was struck or bodily injured in the
least, notwithstanding all other statements
to the contrary. This one exchange having
taken place, and Mr.. Bennett, the challeng-
ing party, it is inferred, not demanding an
other, but indicating that If his opponent
was satisfied he was, the affair then and
there terminated. DR.. Frederick May, who
| acted as surgeon and second for his cousin,
and Charles II. Tiighman, who accompanied
them. were both in Baltimore yesterday.
The whereabouts Of Mr.. Frederick May are
| not known, and q rumor among Baltimore
club men that he is in Washington is ascer-
famed TO be without foundation. 1t is cer-
tain, however, as friend expressed it, that
| /" he is in safe place. ."-BGlttmore Sun.
ANOTHER STORY.
Twenty different stories regarding the
MAY and Bennett duel were told yesterday
about the Maryland club-rooms by twenty
responsible persons, and each one accepted
his own theory as the correct one, and pro-
mulgated it accordingly.
The current view taken OF the matter
about the city was that the meeting was 4
Pickwickian affair, and that the two young
men only popped off couple Of blank
cartridges for the notoriety of the thing. It
is generally accepted fact that not over
three or four persons in this city are in pos
session of reliable information regarding
the affair." and these few persons are not
only reticent, but show disposition to mis-
lead questioners.
Although efforts are being made to make
it appear that Frederick May, of New
York, was not injured, it is given on the
authority OF member OF the family here
that May aras arouaded In the duel beyond
all question of doubt. 1t is also pretty Ger
tain that DR.. Frederick May, who acted rs
second and surgeon in the encounter, is not
now in Baltimore, and has not been since it
occurred. The members OF DR.. Frederick
Mays family here were very much opposed
to any duel from the first, and disown all
sympathy with the affair. Baltimore Amer

ket price, without knowing the actual
cost of production of any crop. AS a
natural consequence they go on year
after year in the SEINE way; while by
knowing exactly the cost of raising a
bushel of wheat, or ton of hay, or a
pound of wool, they could soon decide
where their profits lay, and discard the
crops which experience proved to bring
them only loss.
Now to know the precise cost of any
farm product, it is as necessary that a
farmer should keep accurate accounts as
for merchantor manufacturer. To no
class of business men is a practical knowl-
edge of bookkeeping more valuable than
to our farmers. Because many have sue
ceeded without it in the past does not
alter the case. A higher standard is be-
fore the farmers now. Their produce
must be of good quality to meet with
ready sale, and to insure that success now
demands that capital be invested in good
buildings, machinery, and improved
kinds of grain, fruit, and livestock.
They need to know the exact returns
yielded by all such investments, which
can be ascertained only from complete
and accurate system of accounts. Let
us impress upon young farmers, stock
dealers, and fruit-growers the vast
benefit you would realize from course
of business training. Better give year
of your time now to this study; you
would be more than repaid for your time
and money in five years. Surely it is
time the leading industry of our state
and country was conducted on the same
principles that control less important
interests Commercial Journal.

The Science of Feeding.

1t seems to smack little of the quaint
style of expression, when we read, " A
COW is mill, and can produce in milk,
butter, and cheese, only as we supply the
feed in the manger," but it is true of the
COW, and just as forcible when applied to
fowls, which can no more give us sup
ply of eggs without sufficient food, and
food which is of the right nature than
cious tactical fluid with no regular sup
plies. All our readers, doubtless, remem-
Der the greatest sale of short horn cattle
which has ever taken place in any coun.
try; we refer to the sale of the New York
Mills herd few years ago. The females
of the famous herd, which were sold for
the highest prices ever obtained for any
stock, have, in many cases, disappointed
their purchasers-some by drying, and
others by proving sterile. Why have
these great expectations failed in results!
Because those cattle were pamper-
ed to an extent which ruined them.
They were kept SO fat that they
were spoiled. q Knowing these facts,
how many compete for the prizes
offered by poultry associations for the
heaviest chicks and fowls; and then how
readily those pampered fowls are caught
up by purchasers, who try to breed from
them with precisely the results attained
with fat cattle. One of the disappointed
writes: my heaviest hen dropped of
from the roost, and | found her dead
no signs of disease about her." If little
dissection had been performed, there
would doubtless have been found an inn
mense accumulation of fat inclosing the
gizzard, similar formation around the
heart, and dark, clotted blood upon the
brain. Fat fowls are desirable to eat,
though for delicate tastes they can be too
fat; but our breeding stock, of any kind,
must never be very fat, because such a
condition will cheat us out of success, no
matter how great pains We may take to
care for them in all other respects. A
horse can endure the most when in toll
erably lean condition. The lean COW of
the herd is in that condition because she
is the best at the pail; and that flock of
hens will will lay the most eggs which is
kept just enough hungry, SO that they
are constantly scratching to turn up
something, and on the alert for every
nimble insect that moves about them

"Sheep Day" in New Jersey

In the New Jersey calendar Tuesday
was sheep day" so called because upon
one day in each year the township COM
mittees are in session to receive com
plants from farmers and sheep-owners.
These complaints state the number, and
value of the sheep which have been
killed by dogs during the year. The
losses are paid, according to an act passed
in 1916, from fund obtained by taxes
upon dogs owned in the township
Should this fund be insufficient to pay
these damages, it is divided among those
injured in equitable proportions, accord
ing to their respective losses. Persons
are taxed so cents for one dog above the
age of six months, and 81 for every adj
ditional dog owned by them; but the
people may at their annual town meet
ing levy an additional tax on dogs, not
exceeding So on EACH

A Word to Farmers Sons.

Those who prize the freedom peculiar
to life in the country, and also the Sc
curity of a steady occupation, the pur-
suit of farming in this country offers
great advantages. Every talent which
the most gifted young man possesses may
be exercised in connection with agricul-
ture, and the more finished his education
the better will be his chances of gaining
culture from his surroundings and ac-
curing influence with his neighbors.
Already large portion of the perma-
nent wealth of our nation is in the hands
of farmers, and every facility is offered
by our laws for any one who wishes to
secure farm for himself. The introduce
ton of machinery for almost all kinds of
farm work, the multiplication of means
of transportation, and the great demand
in cities and towns for the best farm
produce, make it necessary for man to
know the cost of each crop he raises that
he may devote his time and labor to that
which pays the highest per cent. on cap
ital invested. Hundreds of farmers an
nually dispose of their wheat, potatoes,
apples, corn, cattle or horses at the mar
