Railways and Civilization.

Scrbner's Magazine for June.
Railways have so cheapened the
cost of transportation that, while a
load of wheat looses all of its value
by being hauled one hundred
miles on common road, meat and
-four enough to supply one man a
year can, according to Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, be hauled 1 800 miles from
the West to the East for one days
wages of that man, ifhe be a skilled
mechanic. If freight charges are di-
minished in the future as in the past,
this can soon be done for one days
wages of a common laberer.
The number of persons employed
in constructing, equipping, and oper-
ating our railways is about two mil
lions.
The combined armies and navies
of the world, while on peace footing,
will draw from gainful occupations
3,455, 900 men.
Those create wealth-these destroy
it. Is it any wonder that America is
the richest country in the world?

A Railroad Ballasted with Iron.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record
During the recent excursion of
Baltimore capitalists to Admission,
Col. McKleroy, the president of the
Admission City Land Co., invited
them to take trip over the Admission
& Atlantic Railroad, a local 60-mile
road built by the Woodstock Iron
Co., which he stated was probably
the only railroad in America actually
ballasted with iron ore, and ore of a
good quality too. The ore is so album
dant that it is really about the cheap
est ballast for a portion Of the road
that could be secured. On the trip
stop was made at an immense hill,
almost mountain Of iron, owned by
the Woodstock Company. This ore
analyses So to Sc per cent metallic
iron and is remarkably free from i'm
purities. Openings have been made
in many places to test it, and every
where it shows the same wonderful
quantity and quality. The surface of
the ground is covered with ore in all
shapes and sizes, and as deep as the
excavations have been made ore is
still found in ineXhaustible quantity.
One Of the peculiarities Of this noun
tain or hill is that on the slopes cotton
is being raised, every turn of the
pillow throwing up ore. "Here," said
one Baltimorean, "is contest; iron
and cotton struggling for the mast
cry; which will be king? "You
seem to plant cotton and gather
iron," said another visitor. 1t is in
the neighborhood of this great bed of
iron that the railroad which skirts the
hill is ballasted with ore analysing So
to Sc per cent metallic iron.
1t is this vast supply of the raw
materials, the ore, the coke, the lime
stone, &C., on which Admission and
Birmingham and other towns are
building up their gigantic iron indus
tries, and the cheapness Of these ma
terials will enable them to prosper,
even during the severest depressions
in the general iron trade of the coun.
try.

THE FARM HOUSE.
Hints and Suggestions Relating to Its
Location and Surroundings.

Hints and Suggestions Relating to Its
Location and Surroundings.
Too little attention is paid to the
surro findings of the house to insure
the best health to the farmer and his
family, 1t is very difficult to manage
stock farm or even q grain farm
where only sufficient number of
stock is kept 10 run the farm without
having more or less manure scattered
around. So that one of the very first
items on the farm is the proper loca-
ton of the house, barn and feed lot.
in order that the influence will not be
felt at the house.
One of the most prolific sources of
disease is the water OF all things
on the farm the most care should be
given to insure the purity of the
drinking water, and that in the house
should be as pure as possible. On
some farms where there is stiff hard
clay, or white hard pan, there is not
near rs much risk as in loose, sandy
Or gravelly soil. But yet it is far
better 10 see that all the water
from the barn aud feed lots is
drained away from the direction of
the house well.
Piles of manure should not be al
lowed to decay or stand where the air
will be driven by the wind to the
house, where it must be breathed.
The same may be said of old piles of
ST. aw, fodder OF weeds. There should
be care taken in locating the sites for
out-buildings, such as poultry houses,
privy, hog pens, etc, so as to build
them so that the air from them will
not reach the house. If you depend
upon ponds for stock water see that
they are located sufficient distance
so that the poisonous air from them
will not reach the house.
While we all admire shade, yet toe
much of it around a house will make
1t too damp. We must be willing to
admit the sunlight, and for this reason
too many shade trees around the house
keep out the sunlight and interfere
with the free circulation of air, thus
making the house unhealthy.
Keep down the weeds from .arounC
the house. The rank growth of weeds
is another source of disease and should
be avoided by destroying them before
they can get good start 1t require:
but little extra work to keep every
thing about the farm neat and clean,
but if you once allow the weeds and
other sources of foul air to get good
start it may take considerable extra
time and labor to thoroughly clean up,
besides running great risk of having
doctor bills to pay, coupled with con.
siderable suffering and anxiety, to
more than pay for the labor of keep
ing every thing clear from the start, =

Spinach is one of the early greens.
An application of very fine manure
will hasten them and give larger
crop.
-Scraping off the loose bark from
old apple trees exposes the larvae Of
coddling moths, etc, to destruction,
and in this respect at least is BEN
eficial.
DO not keep different breeds of
sheep together. When mixed, the re-
suit will be that all will come short of
their highest possible results
The corn crop of last year
amounted to l, $4,000. 900 bushels,
valued at S646, 100000. The wheat
crop was 456, 900, 900 bushels. worth
5000, 100000 eH oa.
The ground for spring wheat can
not be prepared too early, and it
should be not only deeply plowcd but
narrowed until the seed bed shall be
as fine as the soil can be made.
EVERY farmer should bear in mind
the fact that superiority of crops de-
ponds in a great degree on the good
qualities of seeds, and he should,
therefore, try to get the very best,
even if the cost be considerably
greater.
An authority on hogs says: IF
we take all the hogs fattened in the
United States in a year and change
the time of fattening from cold to
warm weather oue-half of the grain
now fed will make all the pork.
This would be a saving of food, at
least to the amount of $50, 00O 900 per
year."
AS an example of what some men
can do with an acre of land by judi
cious management and the skillful
application of chemical manures, we
learn that a Scotch farmer recently
harvested crop of green-top Swedish
turnips which weighed over fifty tons
per acre. But this record is out
stripped by another Scotch farmer
who has a crop of turnips calculated
to average eighty tons per acre, the
roots of good shape and weighing
from sixteen tc seventeen pounds. -

He Moves the World.

Exchange.
Do you see that man over in the
field driving a pair of mules He is
a farmer and engaged in blowing.
He is the man that moves the world.
If he were to 60 on a strike, and re-
fuse to raise crop for single year,
it would produce a more disastrous
effect than would result from a uni
versal strike of all BrotherhOods of
railroads employees and trade unions
combined. He with his glittering
share, furnishes subsistence for all the
Brotherhoods and everybody else,
and if he should Ego out" for some
real or imaginary wrong, he would
paralyze the commerce of the world
on sea and land, every locomotive
would rust in its stall, the cars would
rot on the side tracks, the song of the
spindle and the hum of the factory
would be hushed and silent, the goods
of the merchant be moth eaten on his
shelves, and the government would
bepowerless to interfere. That share,
though bright, glitters only when it
is idle. 1t hides its polish under a
six-inch layer of usefulness. That
man, though intelligent, dresses in
homespun, and patiently tolls on,
year by year, bearing the ills he can
not shun, and because he does not
strike the world moves on and the
