Ii. & O. Fast Train Service.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-There would ap-
pear to be considerable question as to what road
is really entitled to the much vaunted claim of
running the fastest trains the world At
least this would be point raised by the B. & O.
people, who to-day have inaugurated a new
schedule for limited train service which is UNI
questionably without parallel The Chicago
limited is shortened up 50 that, by a comparison
of schedules, it is faster than any other limited
1t leaves at 10 A. NJ, and reaches Chicago the
next morning at S:55, making the run in less
than twenty three hours Similar comparison
as regards the Cincinnati limited shows that it
is four hours quicker than other limited trains
to that city. 1t leaves at $3.50 p NJ and arrives
at its destination at 745 the succeeding morning
making the run in sixteen hours, which is
wholly unprecedented. The Baltimore 81 Ohios
st. Louis limited is over an hour
faster than competing limited trains, as is also
its Pittsburg limited The b. a. o. management
announces its intention of maintaining its policy
of making no extra charge whatever on its linn
tied trains, Notwithstanding its time is so much
quicker than that made by limited trains of
other lines. The b. 81 o. limited from Chicago
arrives half hour earlier, under the new sched.
ule, while the limited from Cincinnati gets in
four hours quicker than limited trains of other
lines, while corresponding speed has been fixed
for the St Louis and Pittsburg lmiteds.

crops They mature very quickly, and may be
sown in the summer Sorghum. now coming
into use is also an excellent fodder crop the
seed being small and the plants easily crowded
and grown in short interval. There are sew
eral reasons for growing fodder crops They
fill a want IN some sections, can be grown Ia a
short time, and are q defense against an insult
fcient hay crop. Such crops, however, should
be cut at the proper time, and should not be
allowed to remain on the field day longer than
IS necessary. In the case of oats, the grain
must not become hard nor the straw turn yell
low The green condition of the straw is i'm
portant, and in order to secure it In the best
condition the field should be examined daily.
If threatened with drought cut at all events,
and take off the crop before it is injured. Milet
and Hungarian grass is often allowed to form
the seed heads. This should be guarded against
as the hay from these grasses is very palatable
if the crop is cut whom the first sign of heading
appears, but is not SO readily accepted by stock
If cut later. The time of harvesting and prep
aration of the food for the stock are the most
important points to be observed.

Indian Corn.

Oh, the corn, the beautiful corn.
Thrusting up through the rich dark mold
Two little leaves of as dainty green
AS ever lilys bulb unrolled.
Gathering strength from mother earth,
Taking tribute of sun and rain,
Of balmy winds and of nightly dews,
To make and to mold the golden grain.
Oh, the corn, the beautiful corn,
Rising stately, erect and tall
With silken tassel and nodding plume,
The noblest, kingliest plant of all;
Its pennons wave FER serried ranks
Stretching from broad Atlantic coast
Over the prairies of Illinois
Away to the furthest frontier post.
"You helped it whispers, 'Ireland's need;
Now raise poor midas dropping head;
Listen to furnishing Persia cry;
Brothers, we perish; oh, give US bread
And as you gather my ripened ears,
Filling granary, crib and barn,
Let all the nations of earth thank God
For Americas beautiful corn"

Fodder Crops.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Now that the spring is open and the farmers
are getting ready for crops, they should not
overlook the matter of growing those we'll known
substitutes for hay that mature quickly and
yield well, such as oats, fodder corn, mlllet and
even peas. In mentioning oats it is not intended
to suggest the sowing of the seed for the pur-
pose Of securing yield of grain but to cut the
crop when it is only in the milky state, or just
previous to ripening Of course, some farmers
will object to what they repard as a method that
entails the loss of the grain; but fertile farms
there will generally be fair crop of hay, while
substitutes as will give the best results. Oats,
If cut just before the time of ripening,
yield crop of straw rich in nutritious
matter tender, keeping green, and which
will be relished by the cattle and horses. The
mode of feeding it is to take the bundles of oats
and pass them through a cutter, chopping
straw and heads together the whole being a
mass OF immature grain and straw A small
quantity of ground grain is added to the cut
oats and fed to the stock. The advantage Of
thus harvesting and preparing oats is that the
whole of the straw can be utilized, while the
time required for growth is shortened. Even
on rich. heavy land this mode of harvesting is
good one where difficulty through the crop
lodging is annually encountered.
Corn is another excellent fodder crop, but
the best fodder is that consisting of small, ten
der stalks, which are usually juicy and succu-
lent. In order to add to the quality, the fod-
der should be sown thlckly In rows and cut
while quite green. Some prefer to cut corn
fodder when the corn is in tassel and others at
the time the young corn begins to FIJI out, when
1t Is cured, stored and fed, after being cut into
small lengths. 1t is suggested, however, that
corn be cut when about three feet high and tied
in bundles The advantage of this method is
that two crops may be grown the same season,
and if properly cured and stored it does not
crumble so readily. 1t is an excellent clean
food for horses and may he fed in the bundle or
in the manner mentioned for oats.
Peas answer best early in the season, and are
suitable for cattle and sheep. They usually
sown with oats, and fed directly from the field to
the stock in the yards, under the soiling method.
Such crop may be fed aud got out of the way
for a late corn-fodder CROP for turnps. In at
tempting TO grow two crops on the same loca-
ton. however the land must be MANFRED heavily.
or it will be injured, though the exhaustion will
not be so great as when such crops are allowed
TO mature and produce seed.
Among other crops that may be mentioned
are millet and Hungarian grass, which, though
properly classed as hay crops, are also fodder

Set a Good Example.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has set a
good example to the cities and towns along its
several lines by issuing a circuing to its en-
ployes instructing them how to keep the railroad
property under their charge clean and free from
chance of contagion Further than this it man
ufactures and distributes disinfecting fluid,

that if cholera reaches this country the cars,

A Further Decrease in Freight Business.
The train records continue to show freight
traffic to be discouragingly light 1t will be seen
that there were !, 465 less loaded cars received
and forwarded at this point last week than in the
week ending April 25, and to realize the heavy
decrease in the last four weeks comparison
should be made with the movement on the week
ending April 4. in which week 6,249 more loaded
cars were handled at this point than last week. The
decrease seems to be wholly in through business,
east-bound. Whether the break in rates Of Sat
urday, which promises to continue through the
present week at least, will largely increase
business is problem. But it is no
problem to demonstrate that the less
freight the roads carry from Indianapolis to
the seaboard at fourteen cents per 100 pounds
the better off will the roads be. Wise general
freight agents vii. instruct their subordinate
agents to take rest until better rates on bust
ness can be obtained. West-bound, the tonnage
continues to be heavy. Usually there is fall
ing off in the latter part of April ana early May.
1t has not yet, however, manifested itself North
and south roads not carrying the tonnage

Reaching Into New Territory.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company will to-
day commence the building of railroad be-
tween Cresson and Hollidaysburg. The length
of this road will be about thirty seven miles,
counting the curves, and its completion must be
consummated Nov. /, 1885, The cost of con-
struction will approximate $1,0O00OO, and the
average cost per mile will be about $50, 900.
The object of building this road is to open up
some rich coal and lumber tracts. Along its
located line there are thirty eight coal mines
and fifteen mills. all of which are compelled
now to 60 to great expense to transport their
products to the Pennsylvania railroad over in
dividual roads. The present scheme is backed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
the stockholders wealthy Eastern gentlemen
who hold the lands through which the line is to
pass The western terminus is at Cresson, on
the Pennsylvania railroad main line and the
eastern terminus will be at Hollidaysburg. at
the end of that branch of the Pennsylvania rail
road. The line will run through Coalport and
other prosperous mining towns.

The Bee-Line Strengthening Its Stakes.
The Cleveland Leader says the proposed Ham
ilton connection track of the c.. c., c. & ]. will
most likely be constructed before the year is out.
The line will leave the c., c., G. & l., at Middle
ton, and strike it again at Sharon, making the
total mileage about twenty miles of low grade
the steepest grade being only about twenty feet
to the mile The surveys have been completed,
and the profile submitted, and the preliminary
work left undone in the securing of the right-of
away at certain points. The merchants and bus
mess men generally of Hamilton are doing all
they can for the road, and the city Of Hamilton
has agreed to donate the right of way through
the corporation limits, and also ground enough
for station purposes. The c., H. & D. is fighting
the scheme, it is said, for it now has a complete
monopoly of the carrying trade of Hamilton,
which is one of the chief points on the entire
system. 1t is understood that private capital
will construct the road, and the Bee-line will
furnish the rolling stock and motive power, under
a satisfactory joint agreement The distance
from Hamilton to the Bee line is about six miles
