New Railroad.

Articles Of incorporation have been
filed with Clerk Tower Of the Gar
rett county circuit court, incorpo-
rating the Youghiogheny Land
company and the Youghiogheny
Railroad company. This sthe long
talked of railroad project, running.
through Garrett county from Con-
nuence, Pa, to the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at a point not far west
of Oakland. 1t will develop one OF
the richest mineral and coal regions
in Western Maryland and promises
to be a boom for the farmers Of
Garrett county living along the
route. Mr.. Joseph L. Crawford,
the protector, is mentioned as one
of the incorporators in both the
concerns. He is a practical engi-
neer and will probably have charge
of the plans Of construction.

Bringing iai the Sfaeavc&.

The hustle attending harvest time is now
in full progress throughout the state of
Minnesota. The farmers are now reaping
the fruits Of their hard toll and storing
the indispensable commodity from which is
produced the staff OF life" Some of them
have received no returns for the time and
expense devoted to the cultivation of the
soil. In some localitie, the elements have
not been favorable for growing crops, and
the mental strain caused by this failure,
brings into play the perseyering qualtica-
tions of those industrious, Yet unfortunate
farmers. Those who have lived in the eX-
pectatiOn of reaping an abundant harvest,
to enable them to meet their monetary obi
cations. and have met with opposite results,
are. to say the least, il very trying pre-
dicament; from which nothing but indOm-
liable pluck and perseverance will eXtricate
them.
In prison there is an inceSSant harvest of
remOrSe and physical PAIN, reaplng III ac-
cordance with the sowing. The seeds from
which this harvest of moral degra-
dalton sprang were prOpOgated and
allowed to come to maturity in places
which were not adapted to raise
a crop of unpOluted morality or
unquestonable character. The fertilizers
used were OF a poisonous nature. and the
general reckless inattentiun to those who
are now reapng the abundant harvest OF
shame and Il appointment. was the cause
of this sad termination in the lives of the
body of young and energetic souls who are
now under mortgage to the state. Let us
all in the maturity and payment of the
mortgages on our freedom. try our luck in a
new field, SOW seeds Of Kindness along with
industry. in places which We're not contain
mated with the vice and immortality of this
generations: and in harvesting our next crop.
instead of remorse and physical pain. we
may reap happiness and al! the comforts
this world can afford. AMERICUS.

What a 2uI. Fight Costs.

The cost of one of the corridas may be
safely reckoned at not less than $500.
There are generally six bulls killed, and
these average from $3.50 to $500 each.
Horses are contracted for, and are bought
at simply 'knacker" prices; sometimes
as many as twenty-five are done to death.
There are generally three espades, and
these, with their cuadrillas, may be taken,
one with another, at about $1250 EACH
Then there is very large number of as.

rent is paid for the plaza, and the Govern.

year round, on grain. An acre of sweet
corn, fed stalks and all, will go long
way toward fattening a lot of hogs.
Sorghum is also excellent. Weeds arc
allowed to go to seed, for estra work the
next year, which would make excellent
pork. Here is maxim; The cheapest
foods make the best pork. The reason
is, it is the leanest. Lean pork then be-
ing the best, we should try to make 1t.
Confinement in pens tends to increase the
fat, Exercise develops the muscles.
The muscular part is the best food. The
fat is largely waste. We make fat TO
throw it away. People buy hams, not
for the fat, but for the lean When tho
fat is wasted it makes the lean cost lust
so much more. Re luce the fat and in
crease the lean.
Can this be done2 Certainly. In this
way: Keep the pigs all their lives in the
pasture, Feed skim-milk and bran.
Keep corn away from them. Give them
vegetables and apples with the bran.
When the bodies or frames are grown,
give them oat meal or rye, ground entire,
mixed with bran, putting in twice as
much bran as rye. Keep up the vegetable
and apple diet and allow them during this
time to eat all the grass they will. A
little corn may be fed toward the end.
Pork made in this way will have
more lean, and will be tender and Juicy.
At Kirby Homestead, with our breed of
hogs, aud using turnips, we have pro-
duced hams seventyfive per cent. lean.
The tat is something more than mere lard
animal oil. 1t is meat, with the sub
stance and grain of meat. To get such
pork is worth trying for, as it is in de-
mand. The sausage and the other food
products made from such pig meat are
superior in quality and taste. There is
tenderness and flavor which enhances the
value. Pigs should no be fed so much
or gorged to such an extent that they will
not go out into the pasture. An active
pig will make better meat than helpless
one--madc so by lack of true muscle and
vigor. 1t is advisable to plant apple
trees for early ripening, in order to give
the pigs start. Fifty trees Of this kind
have been set this year at Kirby Home
stead, including twenty early harvest,
Apples do not make fat pork, but they do
make plenty of lean meat, and that of
extra quality Pumpkins can be utilized
in the same way. Gradually the require
ments of consumers for more lean pork
will open the eyes of farmers to the fact
that the consumers are right and we will
ho, loo, e +
animated lard tubs called "early matured
pork" "The most weight in the short
est time" is a heresy which has broken
down lots of American stomachs and set
thousands of people against pork. There
is no animal on the farm which can be
turned to better account than the hog to
utilize wastes and cheap foods, and as a
factor for enriching the farm. For a
steady diet give the pigs grass.

Largest Area Of Plate Glass.

An ambitious firm in Boston recently
determined to have the largest area OF
plate glass in their show window of any
in the country, and sent their order to a
great crystal establishment in Paris.
When the question of shipment was
brought into the bargain no steamship or
sailing vessel could be found which could
take the huge plates of glass on board
through its matches. Therefore the pur-
chase abroad was abandoned. Then came
the suggestion that the glass could be
manufactured in Indiana. The contract
was made with Indiana manufacturers,
and the glass was perfected; but then
arose another difficulty. The great crystal
pane must be transported upright in a
frame. The height Of the bridges above
the railroads was found, and it was dis
covered that no railroad in the country
would thus transport it to the Hub.
Consequently the ambitious firm was
obliged to abandon their project, and
contente6 themselves with peace-meal
windows.

A Queer Cure for Su,s;rotc.

Senior Catarsi, a fruit dealer who does
business on the south side of Fulton
market, New York, told an Ecening Sun
reporter recently how victims of sunstroke
were treated in sunny Italy. ''Take the
patient and prop him up straight in o
chair, then fill a glass with ice water,
place towel over the top and press it
down on the persons head, holding it SO
tight that the water won't run out. All
the heat in the body then becomes con.
centrated in the head, and is gradually
drawn out by the water. The
water soon grows warm, but the
glass must not be removed until 1t boils.
This is not fairy story Pm telling you.
If the glass is kept on the head long
enough you can see the water bubbling
inside. The length of time required de-
ponds on the seriousness of the case. The
worse the sunstroke the quicker the water
boils. It is sure cure" Mr.. Catarsi is
man of intelligence. He is educated
and his wife is school teacher. His
remedy is remarkable one.

A HOMEMADE BRoonER.

People who raise many chickens find a
good brooder very useful institution.
There are many plans for making them,
from which we select the description of a
good one that can be easily made: Make
a box three feet square, one foot high,
open at the top and bottom. Over this
nail sheet iron, and then nail one-inch
strips around the edge, leaving a hole at
each corner one inch long. Make floor
of matched lumber, on the strips, leaving
hole two inches square in the center,
around which fasten tube four inches
high. Then make cover two feet and
eight inches square. Set on four legs.
Along the edges tack strips of flannel
slashed every two inches. Place this on
top of the brooder. Set lamp under
the sheet iron, and the air passing through
the holes left in the corners becomes
warmed, streams through the tube, and
over the chicks, while the floor at the
same time is quite warm. Such an ap-
paratus, properly constructed and man
aged, fills the bill of good brooder.-
