committed, came forward, but the re-

help him to clear up the question, and
he thereupon got into the compartment

THE TERRIBLE STRAIN ON THE EN-
GINEER.

GINEER.
When people read about, or ride upon,
extraordinarily asst trains they seldom
think of the severe strain and excite
ment to which the brave men who run
the engines are subjected. To sit In a
passenger coach and glide over a smooth
track is very different thing from
standing on the shaking footboard, with
hand on the lever, straining eyes and
ears to detect possible danger, every
nerve tense and every thought conferred
on the safe accomplishment of the jour-
ney upon which SO many lives depend.
What such labor means is shown to
some degree In a recent dispatch an
nouncing the death, at the early age of
SO, Of William Phillips, the engineer
who ran the celebrated Jarrett & Palmer
train from Jersey City to Pittsburgh, a
distance of 443 miles, without stop.
The dispatch says: "Mr. Phillips has
been sick for nearly year past, his ILL
ness dating really from the time when
he undertook the task of running the
Jarrett & Palmer train. He accom-
plished the feat in less than schedule
time, but the strain on his system was
so severe that he never recovered from
it. He continued on duty, and was
called upon invariably when trusty
man was required, but his health grew
more precarious, and he was finally COM
PEELED to relinquish bis position

OUT OF TUNE.
BY STELLA c. AIKENs.

AL through this life of mine,
Through months and years of time
Borne on an alien breeze,
Low meath the whispering trees
Came that sweet minor chord,
Played out of tune.
In this faint heart of mine
o-day and for all time,
great surging flood
APPS in my veins the blood
alls that sad minor chord,
Played out of tune.
eep in this soul of mine,
Moved not for space or time,
Fearing the worlds cold scorn,
Living, yet ali unborn,
Lies that great minor chord
Played out of tune.

WOOD AsuES.-The value of ashes rs a
fertilizer, says the American AgricuitartS,
depends principally upon the potash and
phosphoric acid they contain. The per-
centage of these varies largely in ashes
from different woods, varying from 10 per
cent to q per cent for the former and 4
per cent to ~ PER cent for the latter. This
would give not far from 4 to 5 pounds OF
potash to bushel of ordinary mixed I'M
ieached ashes. which, reckoned ut IL
cents per pound-the present market value
of potash in the commercial fertilizers-
would give the value of a bushel at from
Is to % 1-2 cents. With due allowance
for the phosphoric acid and the lime, the
latter making up the largest part of the
ashes-and it may be seen that Il bushel OF
unlcached ashes is worth from 20 to 80
cents ut the present time. Ashes to secure
the best results, should be thoroughly
mingled with the soil. In this way the
best physical as well as chemical effects
are obtained. 1t is self-evdent that crops
requiring larger amounts of potash will
be The most benefited by the application
of ashes-as the root crops, cabbage, to,
bacco, etc, etc. Forty to fifty bushels pei
acre is good application

LIQUID MANURING.-Ghe immense pop
ulation of China requires every effort to
secure the means of subsistence; and
notwithstanding their lands have been in
tillage for thousands of years, they are
still the most fertile of any other nation.
A traveller, who passed many years of his
life in China, gave to the Virginian Plant
or and Furmer some account of his obSer-
vations there in an agricultural way, and
shows that this result has been largely
obtained by the use of liquid manures.
The traveller adds: Nothing that will
serve as manure is lost or wasted. lluman
excreta are his chief resorts. Earthen jas
of very large capacity are sunk into Il G
ground. Into these all the manure mate
rills are put, when water is added, and
the mass stirred, from time to time, until
everything is dissolved that can he brougl t
TO that condition. 1t is then taken out By
the paiful, and applied to the root of the
plant with little dipper. The Cinnamon
hroalcasts no manures, us he sows moth
ing broadcast; he always applies it in a
liquid shape,and directly to the plant; and
it is notorious that few anywhere in the
world can beat him as an agriculturlst.

VALUE OF BARLEY. Corn AND OATS
Barley has a larger percentage of albu-
minoids, and consequently furnishes bet
ter food for supplying the caseine in milk
but corn has some excess OF oil over OAR
lev but not over oats. Oats, however,
have more husk and not as much digestl-
BILE food per hundred pounds as either
barley or corn. Corn is the richest IN
starch. which goes to support animal heat
10 form the milk sugar or whey and per-
haps the oil in milk. 1t is generally con-
ceded that corn meal is most excellent
food in the production of butter. 1t does
not increase the quantity of milk as much
as barley or oats. Now this statement OF
the peculiar qualities of these foods shows
that the best food can be only obtained by
mixing all these together. Each one pos
sesses some qualities the Others do not,
and the feeder should study, not to find
the best single food. but how to combine
the best food from the variety which ! o
has at hand. Variety is required to make
the best food.-RurdL NcO Yorker.

MAPLE SUGAR From the Market
gossip" column of the american CGltirator
we make the following extracts from an
interesting article on maple sugar:
Vermont, of course. takes the lead in
the production of maple sugar. producing
from 5000, 600 to 100000 pounds an
nually, New York coming next, producing
about Iwo-thirds as much, and Ohio about
half as much as New York. Vermont
has probably given more attention to the
development of this industry. and been
on the alert to discover and adopt improv-
cd methods or processes of manufacture,
than any other state. As consequence.
it has made large relative gains on other
states having similar resources. Though
among the smallest in productive area at
the last census, in the amount of sugar
produced it had out. stripped New York,
the next highest,by over 100000 pounds
In 1870 the amount of maple sugar pro
duced was S,500,000 pounds, and the
amount in 1875 about 100000 pounds.
The quantity produced in 1879 is uncer-
tain, but an authority estimates the guam
tity at 1900 tona.
Where maple sugar is manufactured,
especially in Vermont, it has more or les
influence on the wealth and prosperity OF
the Inhabitants; the same results extend
to counties and states. A certain town in
Vermont that we could mention, for =
series of years has made 100000 pounds OF
maple sugar, enough to give each inhabit-
ant lao pounds. Divided among the IA
school districts, and it will give about
1900 pounds to each district Reckoning
the price of sugar at 8 cents per pound it
amount to $4,000 for the town, or about
81, 2S4 to each school district or nearly
Sl4 to each inhabitanL of the town. Blu
we are considering this sweet subject from
an economic point of view, which was moi
our purpose.
Maple sugar has already made its ap
pearance in the market, although there
has been no sugar weather. to speak OF
his season. 1t is possible that the sugar
which looks nicely, all boxed up in small
cakes, may have been some that was lef'
from last year or may have been remelted
and remoulded. But maple sugar like
early birds is sometimes premature. Penn
sylvania. southern Indiana and southern
Illinois sometimes send us early maple
sugar, but the Vermont article generally
makes its appearance in due time; and
with that the market in this section of the
country is satisfied-satisiied that it will
get the best and the purest.

The last three samples were of Lousi-
lana cane, cut at the height of the grind
ing season and sent to the agricultural
department. and it will be noticed that the
average amount of surUose,or crystallizable
sugar, in the juice of the four specimens
of sorghum when cut at full maturity was
greater Q5.O4 per cent? than in the juice
of the three samples of Louisiana cane
Q4.43 per cent?. In other words a given
amount of sorghum juice would produce
more commercial sugar than the same
amount of the juice of the Louisiana cane
"a fact not the least astonishing of those
brought out by this interesting expert
ment.

The grain crop of California has attain
ed its present production of 40,0OO,000
bushels from the first attempt TO raise
wheat for home consumption, only less
than thirty years ago. The first bag of
flour made in Cali ornia was at Horner's
mills, Union City, in 1858. In 1868 he
raised 22000,OU0 pounds of potatoes,
which he sold for three cents u pound.
With fortune accumulated in this way,
he has no reason to envy Suffer, the dis
coverer of gold, now poor in his old age,
after having made thousands of people
rich, and tens of thousands miserable.

coast in 1916, but was never Il gold hunter.

WHAT Corn TO neutrality-suspicious.
among feeders, as well us the analysis of
the varieties of corn, appear to indicate
that where good bread is wanted the white
flint corn, which ahounds in starch and is
lacking in oil, Is the best kind. Coming
in analysis near to oats, it is also generally
conceded better for working animals than
yellow corn, which last, containing large
proportion of oil, is excellent in fatteninp
animals. The experience with sweet corn
as stock feed is that it will produce flesh
very fast and the stalks. if cut when
green and well cured, will be relshed bv
working cattle and serve rs IN excellent
substitute for hay.-NCw York World.

How To FEED PIGS.-A Canadian
nrrpsnnnHnnt of thn Rnrk shirn bulletin

How To FEED PIGs.-A Canadian
correspondent of the Berkshire BULlctin
writes:
We often hear complaints Of very oppo-
site character from those who start to rear
Berkshire swine; one is, that they get too
fat, and are tender, and often die; and also
that they are no better than any other hog,
for they don't look any better on the same
kind of feed, and are not II bit fatter
Two instances showing these extremes
have come under my observation. One
man fed his young pigs from about Il
month old on nearly pure pea meal and
milk. They got fat, then ceased TO grow,
and then went lame on all fours, fairly
foundered and forever spoiled. The other
party turned II pair Of fine thrifty young
pigs in among some thirty wretched
scrubs of mongrels, and he too fed them
peas, but in such small quantity that
they were reduced to skeletons, for they
would not fight for their small share with
their coarser and more vicious brethren,
and then this man said they were no better
than the common kinds. BY following IL
few simple hygienic rules the berkshire
can be raised easily, and in rs healthy II
condition as any other pig.
Never feed the young pigs on strong,
concentrated food, such as ground corn,
peas or other grain alone Give milk Gf
obtainable) or water, with equal proper
tions Of bran, shorts and boiled potatoes,
or other roots or vegetables; if the bran
and shorts can be scalded, so much the
better. If you must feed peas or corn
meal, mix it sparingly with the vegetable
diet until the pig is four months DID, at
least, when the grain may he increased
But all through the pigs life give him
plenty of good roots, boiled or raw. In
short, feed the pig generously, but not to
excess, with good, pure, mixed diet, and
there will be neither sickness nor want of
fertility. AS the winter is the time that
many hogs are ruined by inudcious feed
ing, these hints may be of service TO be-
ginners.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY

have taken this matter of the sugar
product in hand. and that committee has
been appon' ed to practically test the
question for Vermont the coming season.
and we shall try to keep our readers
informed of their progress in the matter.
The society voted sum probably sufficient
to insure the success of the trial, ard the
results will be looked for with great inter-
est.
We have received from Prof. Collier
samples of sugar from both sorghum and
corn, which may be seen at the Office in
Montpelier, and that from corn stalks is to
our taste the better sugar
But as before said, all this will very little
affect the market for the delicious nectar
from our beautiful maple, and the admo.
milton is, make the most maple sugar and
syrup you can, and of the finest possih,o
quality.
