on to increase. About eighteen saw and
Touring mills lie along the line of the road
where the streams afford abundant water
power for many more. There is also @
large tannery and one paper mill. Two Of
these mills have been started since the road
was built, and there has been develop.
ment of other industries.
Though the railway passes through a
necessarily rugged and unproductive coun-
try, the land back of it on both sides is
trst-rate, and well populated. The farm
ers find that proximity to a railway has
given additional value to their acres, 1t
has attracted settlers, and to some extent
prevented that large depreciation of value
in this part of York county which has
characterized lands in Other parts of the
county, not so accessible to arteries Of trav-
ell and traffic. Mr.. G. r. McConkey, the
president, and Mr.. s. M Manifold, the SUI
perintendent of the road, are satisfied that
when Peachbottom is reached, whether the
Baltimore and Delta road is built or not,
York county will continue to derive every
year increased advantage from its narrow
gauge line.
1t is indeed advantageous, too, to con-
siderable part of Hartford county, for of the
lime shipments given above much oft was
to Hartford county, while the roofing slate
was all from Maryland quarries. 1t is be-
liayed that if desirable the York and Delta
line can be leased for the interest on bonds,
and controlled by the Maryland company.
The region of country served and to be
served by the narrow gauge system in
cludes some of the most productivesland
on the rich borders of Maryland and Penn
sylvania. Identity of local interests and
their development by narrow-gauge rail
way system are likely to give greater in
dustrial and agricultural prosperity here,
as well as add the fruits thereof to the
commerce of Baltimore.

CLOVER AND LIME AS FERTILIzERs.-
Professor Hedges, of York, Pa, recently de-
livered a lecture at Statewide, on farming,
in the course ofwhich he said:
The whole secret of farming may be
written in one word, and that is clover
Get your land into grass as soon as posi-
BILE. God designed clover expressly for en-
riching the soil. Glover is best produced
by stable manure. Clover roots have been
known to extend down into the ground to
the depth of eleven feet. Farmers, get
your soil in clover. Lime is not fertili-
yer, but neutralZes the acid in the soil. 1t
sets free the elements which are essential
to the life of the plant, SO that it can the
more readily take them up. Lime gener-
ates great amount of heat. You may in
jure your soil by putting on too much lime.
We do not say that lime should not be
used, but that it should not be used in too
great quantities. Lime should only be
used on sod.

MATHEMATICS AND MISUNDERSTANDING

ships carry no doctor The captain adds
tho doctorslip to his own duties He not
only gives medicines, but sets broken limbs
after notions of his own, or saws them off
and sears the stump when amputation
seems best. The captain is provided with
q medicine chest, with the medicines num-
bered instead of named. A book of direc-
tions goes with this. 1t describes the dis
eases and symptoms, and says: "Give n
teaspoonful of No. 8 once an hour" or
"Give ten grains Of No. 10 every half hour"
etc. One of our sea-captains came across
skipper in the North Pacific who was in
state of great surprise and perplexity.-
Said he:
"There's something rotten about this

wind-pipes, and we give them camphor,
in their drinking vessels, strong enough to
make quite taste of the camphor. Then,
if any get the disease quite badly before
we discover it, we force pill of gum CAM
phor down the throat about the size of
small pea and the fumes of that dose will
kill the worms. No kind OF worms can
live in camphor, hence, camphor must be
powerful vermifuge.
