HarrOMing Wheat.

Secretary Strstton, Of the Colorado
board of agriculture, i, his report &c
Governor Routt, amoLg other interest
ing information, has the following in
relation to narrowing wheat:
The practice OF narrowing winter
wheat in the spring Of the year has oh
tanned to some extent in the western
states and reasoning from analogy,
Mr.. p. N. Human, Of Boulder county,
"a member of the board-baying e
field of wheat which failed to have q
good stand, and whose general outlook
was in every way inferior TO the bal.
auce OF his wheat, decided to harrow
the field and notice the results. The
harrow was faithfully applied when the
young wheat was four TO SIX inches
high. Many Of Mr.. Humans neigh
bors who witnessed the operation were
very free to express their opinion that
the wheat would be ruined. Such how
ever vas not the case, ~ Mr.. Human
informed me that Immediately after the
the wheat took better look
and commenced growing rapidly and
1t harvest time the field 90 treated gave
the largest yield.

The Clock In Trinity's Tower.

The clock in Trinity Church tower is
the heaviest in America. 1t might
seem that in its construction an effort
had been made to ascertain how much
metal could possibly be planted in o
clock. The frame stands nine feet long,
five feet high, and three feet wide. The
main wheels are thirty inches in diane.
ter. There are three wheels IN the time
train, and there each in the strike and
the chime. The winding wheels are
formed of solid casting, thirty inches in
diameter and two inches thick, and arc
driven by "plnion and arbor." On
this arbor is placed jack, or another
wheel, pinion and crank, and it takes
$50 turns Of this crank to wind each
weight up. 1t requires 700 feet OF three
inch rope for the three cords, and over
an hour for the two men to wind the
clock up. The pendulum is eighteen feet
long, and oscillates twenty-five times
per minute. The dials arc eight feet IN
diameter, although they look little more
than half that size from Broadway.
The three weights are about eight hun.
dred, twelve hundred, and fifteen hun.
dred pounds respectively. A large box
is placed at the bottom Of the we'll that
holds about bale of cotton waste, go
that If cord should break, the cotton
would check the oncussion.-Sunday

Indeed there are very few lines con.
structed In 1877 which can be called
long. The longest single line was the
120 miles of the Southern Pacific extern.
ton then follow the Minneapolis & st.
Louis, 81 miles; the Colorado Central,
70 miles the Rochester & State Line, 6S
miles; the Maple River So miles; the
Syracuse, Geneva & Corning, 81 miles
and tho Philadelphia < Atlantic City, 81
miles. No other line a. much as 50
miles long was constructed during the
year.
These seven companies constructed
51S miles of the total Of the year, so that
the average longth Of the other lines was
but Is miles. In 1876 there were five
companies which constructed more than
100 miles apiece, and the eight which
constructed so miles or moro apiece built
an aggregate of89S miles, or SO per cent.
of the total.
Then follows . table showing the
number of miles built in zach year in
each state, from 1872 to 1877 inclusive.
We find that Kansas built in 1872, AS
miles; in 1873, SO miles, in 1874, 81
miles; none in 1875; IS in 1876; and
1864 miles in 1877; having . total Jsnua-
~ l, 1878, OF 1924. But nine states
have moro miles OF railroad than Kansas.
The total number of miles in tho United
States is 1860. The Gazette thinks
that railroads in the near future will on
~ be built as feeders to other lines or
for local trade. 1t thinks that tho era
of roads being built for great thorough.
fares is past, and the effort to open such
roads has been one Of the reasons why
30 many companies have been swamped.
1t also predicts that hereafter moro
cheap narrow guage railroads will be
built than will expensive ones.

Mrs. MeIusina Fav Pierce. in an /,

Mrs. MeIusina Fay Pierce, in an sd-
dress before committee OF the Aassa-
chusettes Legislature, suggested . novel
solution OF the. woman-suifrsge question.
She considers woman the protected class,
"for so their Maker has ordained" and
she is opposed to placing woman on q
political equality with man; bat che
thinks i: . hardship that the seven or
eight millions OF women 10 this com.
Try should be arbitrarily governed BY
men without ever being consulted. AZ
. remedy for this hardship, she urges
that the men OF every town be request
ed to elect advisory councils and school
and charitable boards in connection with
the local authorities, and she Odds that,
while 10 confer manhood suffrage or
law-making power upoa women would
b revolutionary, "to confer the advisory
power recommended would b nstsF.
ai-would Be simply TO enlarge the con-
cepdon and scope Of the setuL and
i1memoriai relations OF women with
the governing half Of the world" Her
ideas appear TO have the merit Of orig
inality.

We find in tho Railroad Gazette q
very interesting article under the above
beading from which We mako extracts.
It says:
Oursnnual record of the construction
of railroads in the Uuited States, pub
lished this week, shows that 2,l99 miles
were completed in 1877, against 2,490
in 1876, 1861 in 1875, 2,025, in 1874,
1888 in 1873, and 1910 in 1872. The
decrease a. compared with 1876 is nearly
IL per cent, but the total is above the
average since the panic of 1873, that
average for the four years having been
2,O6l miles. Neither is it q small
amount of work in comparison with
the population and traffic Of the coun.
try and their rate of growth. Tho in.
crease in the railroad mileage is about
as great a. the average increase of pop.
ulation in the country, and this country
has long had larger mileage in proper
ton to the population than any other
civilized nation. We have now very
nearly 5000 miles of railroad in the
country, with . probable population of
45,sOO,000. This gives SIS people to
support one mile ofrsilroad, and nom.
inal investment in railroads of about
500 per individual.
Now Europe has about $3.50 inhabi-
tants to support one mile Of railroad,
or nearly SIX times as many rs this
and in Great Britain and Bel.
gium-wbere the country is most fully
provided with railroads are 1860
and 1888 inhabitants respectively per
mile. So far as population is concerned,
therefore, this country is already ex-
we'll provided.
We have noticed that the construction
since 1873 has been chiefly of short lines
of local interest. This was especially
true in 1877. The Dunber of lines was
greater since 1873, and the average
length of each line has been smaller
but once, Is will appear from the follow.

The following was reported OF Ben
Wade before his death: Ben WAde's
ailment is low type of typhoid lever.
He is very cheerful under bis affection.
and it is related OF him that recently
he was given an deliberately figured
dressing gown to wear. After he had
been robed in the elegant garment he
eyed himself from head to foot in q
critical manner, aud in connection with
the Pope's death, which had been an
nounced in the journals of that morn
ing, he remarked, with slight laugh
"Well, | swear. If they have got a
vacancy in the Roman Catholic Church,

The temperance agitation comes to the
nation in cycles and periodically. But We
believe no former agitation Of the sub
ject has found tho masses of the poo
pie SO willing to cooperate with the
workers, and acknowledge the truths of
those preaching reformation. The bard
times have no doubt something to do
with it, and the silent plea Of hungry
children robbed of bread to crafty the
appetite for drink has come homo to
many q man with more power than any
other argument that could DO made.
The horizon in every direction is bright
with prospective blessings to flow from
q prosperous temperance work.-Inter-

RADIO will certainly go Republican. The
Demcrotic majority it will be remembered,
voted him in in defiance Of all justice nnd
right. Now, then, oonceding, for the sake
Of the argument, but not admitting the
fact by any means that the delegations from
Illinois and Indiana will remain numeri-
cnlly as now. that Ohio will reverse her del
ega,ion and send twelve Democrats and
eight opposition, aud that the Democrats
will gain two in Missouri, the above figures
show that the next House would stand l36
Democrats 10 1j7 opposition. In this csti-
mate we have made no claim anywhere
where there is not q probability of Republic
can success. We have accorded votes to
Democrats which we do not believe they
will get, and, in the face OF all that, we can
count IN opposition majority in the next
House. They laugh best who laugh last,
and we believe that careful examination
and fair consideration of the situation will
demonstrate that the Democrats are crow
Ing too soon over the election Of one Demo
cat in Maine, and that the prospect for de-
fcating them in their efforts to organize the
next House are exceedingly bright. The
majority against them may rot he Repub'
lican, hut it will be an opposition that viii
defeat them.
