No MONEY in KAIlroE,iIng. Boys

Before you leave the farm to work
on a railroad, young man, stop and
give the matter Of wages and chances
of promotion a little study. Not a
great deal OF research will be required
to discover some discOuraglng facts.
Here is Il report on railroad labor,
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Labor. 1t shows that the
average daily rate received by all per-
sons in the employ of the railroads N
the United States, including PreSi-
dent Depew, of the New York Cen
trail, with his $50. 900 a year. is sl.65.
The wages Of about fOur-flfths OF
these is between 81 and 81 per day.
One-flfth receive between sl.Ol and
s1.2O per day; another fifth between
s1.21 and sl.40; Is per cent. between
s1.41 and s1.60; IL per cent. between
s1.61 and $3.50; per cent. between
s161 and 50, and IS per cent. receive
over 81 per day.
AS rule, the beginner starts as a
fireman or brakeman, In the expecta-
ton Of rising to engineer or conduc-
tor. The average daily wages OF
brakemen Is s1.75, which becomes
$500 when the top of the ladder, the
engineers position, is reached. The
average daily wages of brakemen Is
about the same, and when the brake
man becomes a passenger conductor
the highest place IN the service to
which he can aspire, he will earn
about the same as an engineer. There
Is less hope Of promotion beyond these
places now than there used to be.
Graduates Of technical schools I'LL po-
sltions OF superintendent, and law
yers are the presidents and managers.
An extraordinary feature OF the
situation Is small figure of time en-
ployed. Brakemen and firemen aver
age a little over $50 working days in
the year, conductors POI and engl-
neers 237. A considerable time IS
needed for rest, while much OF the
work is paid for by the trip.
These are cold facts for the careful
consideration Of young men who are
disposed to yield to the fascination
which the life OF the railroad man
seems to possess. BY its very nature
it units a man for any other business,
and once I'm the treadmilh they are
the helpless servants OF great corpora

prr1,1mrNn WORN. OFT LAND.

The only safe way to make farming
profitable is to constantly increase the
.productiveness Of land. Those who rely
on the profit from selling crops find that
beside the cost of growing them some
part of the farm itself has been sold.
Production carries with it part OF the
original capital. Unless this is restored
crops decrease, until finally they do not
pay cost of cultivation, and the farm is
only saved from being wholly abandoned
by being left to grow grass. Under this
treatment it may have little value for
pasture, and in time gradually increase
in fertility, until the sod Will produce
one or two more cultivated crops. As
soon as possible on such land get a
growth OF clover, and the first crop thus
got had better be plowed under, as it is
impossible 10 make the first crop grown
thus pay for cultivation otherwise. BY
the time the land has been thoroughly
cultivated one year it should be seeded
with clover again. This crop may be
cut and fed on the farm, taking care to
return all the manure it makes, and as
much more as can be bought to grow
clover again. In a few years poor land
may be restored to its natural fertility
ma;uly by use Of clover. But land that
was never rich in mineral plant food will
not be productive until it is applied and
it needs exceptional advantages Of lOca-
ton to make it pay to reclaim land that
is poor in every respect. 1t is better to
begin with land thas> was originally
good. Bottom Culticat0r.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
TO START A BALKy HORSE.

A correspondent of Our Dumb Aninal'
says that the way to start a balky horse is
to take up one of his fore feet and strike
the shoe few times with stone. He
claims to have started several horses in
this way which had stubbornly resisted
more violent efforts to make them move.
He also says that he has never known
this simple method to fail. 1t is not
much trouble to test this plan, and If 1t
works there will certainly be very great
gain over the methods usually employed.
1t will pay people who ares unfortunate
as to have balky horses to give it trial

Mr.. S. d. Willard declares there is

Geese can be fattenei rapidly and

Care must be taken not to get them too
fat, as excess of fat injuries the quality.
Lack of variety in their food will some
times cause the hens to lose appetite, so
that whenever they refuse their food it
will be found a good time to change the
diet.
During the winter hard grain alone is
better than soft feed alone; but the best
resuks can be secured by giving soft feed
as the morning ration aud whole grain at
noon and night.
If any defects are in the bird they will
nearly always show when the new feathers

this is not defect.
It has been estimated that fully 1000

The larger the fall growth of straw
