Railroad Accidents.

IN DOCK named Notes on Rail
road Accidents" Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, Jr.. shows that the percent
age OF loss of life and of personal in
juries on railroads is exceedingly small
when compared with the amount of
travel, and that the risks of railroad
travel are much less than they are popu-
larly supposed to be. He cited statistics
to prove that. it is actually safer for a
man or his family to travel by rail than
to stay at home, thus corroborating the
saying attributed to John Bright, that
the safest place in which man could
put himself was inside a first class rail-
road carriage of train in full motion.
During the eight years from 1870 to
1878 the whole number of lives lost in
operating the entire railroad system in
Massachusetts was 1,165, or an average
OF l46 a year, while in Boston the re-
corded deaths from accidental causes
during the ten years from 1868 to 1878
was 2,587, or an annual average of 259.
i. These results show that in the city of
Boston alone the yearly number of
deaths caused by accidents was 80 per
cent. greater than the number reported
on all the railroads of the State. This
comparison is not peculiar to Massachu.
setts, but may be taken as approximate
~ accurate for other places Indeed,
statistics were published years ago in
France showing that people were less
safe at home than while travelling
on the railroads. Another fact which
will serve to reassure the timid is,
that of the whole number of per-
sons accidentally killed or injured Oh
railroads, but a small proportion are
passengers. Many of those who lose
their lives or are personally injured are
employees who are constantly exposed to
risk by virtue of their employment, and
whose familiarity with danger leads
them to be careless, and even foolhardy
oftentimes. But, as Mr.. Adams shows,
the greatest and most regular cause Of
death and injury in the operation of
railroads is the reckless habit of walking
on the track, which is common with too
many people, and especially with those
who are more or less drunk. More
than one-third of all the railroad casual
ties reported in Massachusetts are clas-
sifed under the head of accidents to
trespassers- that is, accidents to men,
women and children, especially the lat
ter, illegally lying, walking or playing
on the tracks, or riding on the cars.
MIR, Adams says that the best remedy
for this dangerous practice is the sys-
tenn of broken-stone ballast, covering
the entire surface of the road-bed.
The sharp and uneven edges of
the broken stone form surface
which the most inveterate railroad
tramp will shun. The adoption of this
system by railway corporations would
not only give their lines the best road
bed yet devised, but would be means
of materially decreasing the percentage
OF accidental deaths and injuries.

The Best Rubber Root.

There Is nothing better for farmer or out
door man than good rubber boot and moth
ing so exasperating as bad one. Competi,
ton among manufacturers has led to such a
cheapening Of quality that until lately it wa:
hard thing to find rubber boot really worth
the money asked for it. The Candee Rubber Co
of New Haven, Ct. however, has put on the
market boot designed to meet the call for
real good, substantial article, and to denote its
freedom from adulterative mixtures it is called
the "95 Per Cent. Sterling Boot" 1t is made
On honor, as pure as can be made, and is war
ranted three months. BY an ingenious con
trivance space is provided at the top of tht
leg for recording the date Of the sale, By
punching holes in the space provided-like

Curing Fruit Ly Cold
Mountain (Ca1.) Messenger

An experiment was made at a
foundry,in Placerville lately in fruit
curing by blasts of cold air. In this
experiment about peck of sliced APP
pies were placed in sieve and sub
jected to cold air blast for three and
half hours in the cupola furnace of
the foundry and the fruit is reported
TO have completely and beautifully
cured by the treatment remaining soft
and without the slightest discolora-
ton. We were about to say dried,
but cured is better word, for there
was none of that hard, hash stiff dry
ness about it which frequently results
by drying by sun heat or fire
heat. The experiment was most
gratifying success, and in our judg-
ment, ia fraugbt with results of great
Importance TO growers and manipula-
tors of fruit. The blast of cold air
completely freezes the fruit from its
excess of moisture, with no possibility
of burning or shriveling it. Compared
with our sun drying it effects great
saving OF expense, attention and risk.
Anybody who can command or devise
a strong blast of coal air can dry fruit
in superior--we might say, perfect
manner. without being dependent on
the weather and waiting on the slow

An Immense Wheat Crop.
New York Herald.

According to the western news
papers the pros ,ects of the winter
wheat crop in tia section are excel
lent. In eleven states the yield, 1t Is
estimated, Will be about sixty per
cent. larger than last season. La llli-
MOS, FOR increase Of seventy per cent. ;
Indiana shows marked acreage to-
crease; Missouri, which had an I'M
pre- cedenIly large crop last season,
Will 1t is expected, do fully as we'll
this year. Equally favorable reports
come from . 40, Kentucky, Kansas,
Nsorlst4 ant Wisconsin. The
prosperity of the farmers means the
prosperity of nearly every other class
in The community, so that the outlook
all around Is all that could be desired.
Il suould he taken into account that
the SIZE of the crop will depeuq in a
great measure upon the weather dur
ing the next couple of weeks. The
only drawback thus far is the dearih
of snow, which appears to extend over
all the states above mentioned.

More about Alsike Glover.

NJ. NJ. Raldridge,- Esq, the we'll.
known apiarist Of st. Charles, ILL.,, in
q recent conversation gave the result
of his experience and observation in
the production Of bis crop.
He sowed it for the pro-
duction of honey, when it was
first introduced in the west, and has
continued to raise it ever since. He
thinks it as valuable for the production
of fodder for cattle as for its yield of
honey. IL does remarkably well on
moist land, where red and white clover
do not succeed. l. produces very
large crops IN wet seasons, but is less
productive than either red or white
clover on soils ordinarily quite dry. 1t
makes a small growth on dry land
during seasons when drought prevails
for a considerable period. A somes
what slight fall of rain causes it to
start quickly after its growth has been
checked by the drought.
IL is best adapted to a climate
somewhat moist. and in Canada is
perferred to either red or white clover
as pasture plant. 1t remains for
long time in ground once sown with
it, as the FIRST seed that rpens falls be-
fore the crop is ready to cut. When
he first experimental with it he SOW
ed the seed by itself, one of his OBJ
jects in raising it being to get crop
of seed that then commanded very
high price. In moist seasons it did
remarkably well. but in very dry sea
sons it succeeded poorly. He now
raises it in connection with red clover,
and succeeds in getting good crop
every year, even If the season is quite
dry. If one of the objects in raising
it was the production of seed for the
market, be would still SOW it in con-
nected with red clover seed. Alske
ripens before red clover does, so that
the seed thrashed out is ordinarily
clean. Should there be little red
clover seed with it screen will sep
arate the two varieties.
For producing honey, seed, or fod-
der, there are very great advantages
in raising Alsike in connection with
red clover. The roots of the former
spread out near the surface of the
ground, while those of the latter sink
deep into it. Two varieties occupy
the same soil with mutual benefit. Let
the season be dry or moist, good !
crop of clover will be produced from
one variety or other. The roots of
Alslke clover help prevent the roots
of red clover from being thrown out
of the ground by the action of the
frost. The rank foliage of red clover
shades the ground so that sufficient
moisture is afforded the Alsike to in
sure q good growth. In sowing the
two varieties of clover together the
should be one pound of
Alsike seed TO four of red. A small
of timothy may be rising on
the same land with advantage to the
two kinds of clover, as it adds ia sup
porting The stalks.

THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle
for 1880.

| lUL 1OOV.
During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, at the same
time, keep its readers fally posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interest of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. 10 this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. It
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa.
nous schemes.
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues Of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. twill con-
tain choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editorials, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
Guided. 1t. will be the object Of the
publishers to make it welcome
visitor into the families of the

Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as

ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics Of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these two old
and well established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more than
the subscription price charged.
