Terrible Railroad Wreck Narrowly
Averted at Head of Baltimore Street
Yesterday MOrning.-As the Cincinnati
express was coming in from the west yester-
day morning there were two locomotives
standing on the main track, at the Baltimore
street crossing which were hid by the out
going train to Pittsburg. The engineer did
not see them until his train was almost on
the engines but for his presence of mind in
reversing and putting on the air brakes, and
the starting of the engine ahead there would
have been terrible catastrophe. When the
Cincinnati express stopped it was just "a feet
from the engines in front.
The most peculiar point of the whole in
cident was that the 81 feet was the exact
width of the lots which the Progressive Lot
Club are selling at S225 each, by paying 81
down and 81 II week until paid for. Al J

They repeated this in the sixth and kept their
opponents chasing the leather until it looked
as if they would win in canter The heat
and exertion began telling on some of the
Gale players who are just now out of train
ing, and in the seventh inning Krapf and
Townsend gave way to Tucker and Dillon.
When the smoke of battle cleared away
and Ed. Gross, the official scorer, counted up
the tallies, it was found that the Gales had
won by an eye-lash, the score standing Is

exclusively, no invitations having
been issued to anyone not belonging
to the organization.
An accommodating correspondent
furnishes the following interesting

At9l O'Clock the dance was begun and kept
up until half past IL. when elegant refresh

disposed of, dancing was resumed.
The hop was conducted by W. J. Daley,

Tho Red hug of Flori In.

The red bug OF Florida is near
equivalent of the chigre that infests
blackberry patches in New York
state and further south. The red
bug is almost invisible to the naked
eye. but he appeals strongly to at
least one other sense. After the
traveller has slept in region where
these insects abound, he rises next
morning with an almost intolerable
itching. and red Jumps begin to ap-
pear all over his body. The red
bug has burrowed into the flesh and
doubtless deposited eggs in the bur-
row. The Jumps and the itching
stay with the victim for the better
part of a week, and marks of the red
bugs ravages are carried for nearly
q month.

WHAT KIND OF HoRsEs?-There are
thousands of small breeders in the
north who are debating in their
own minds what kinds of horses they
can breed with reasonable chance of
making the business profitable. Many
of them have already reached the con-
clusion that good gcntlemen's road
sters are the sort for them. Others
have decided to raise large, handsome
carriage horses. Both of these classes,
like the best of trotters, are always in
demand, and are likely to be for sew
eral years at least. There is proba bly,
less risk of failure in breeding car
riage horses than gentleman's road
sters. There is greater fascination,
however, for the thorough horseman
in raising the latter. The profits, too,
in cases of success may be greater.
The probabilities of success in either
case depend largely upon the judg-
ment used in selecting brood mares.
The general characteristics of the
mares are quite rs important as their
blood dlines.-American Horse Breeder.

Tho Butter Cow.

Recently in an address II. G. Adams
of Wisconsin said: The modern dairy
COW in her best form is a long ways
from COW nature as it existed in the
times of Abraham, no doubt. She is
highly artificial. The more artificial
she Is the bctter she is. The men who
worry and theorize about our getting
away from nature, in order to be con-
sistent, never should milk, they should
leave that to the calves. We put shoes
on horses and clothes on children, and
slap nature in the face every time we
shave. The dairy cow has been made
over by the hand and brain of man for
. perfectly natural purpose-making
money. And If she does sometimes
have milk fever and many other dis
eases unknown to wild cattle. she to-
day possesses greater vital force than
her unpampered ancestors, who were
supposed to be hardy, but all of whom
would have died in q week if compelled
to exert the vital force necessary to
elaborate in their organism milk
enough to make fourteen pounds of
butter in that time. We have not de-
st<oyed vital forces, we have changed
their currents. The average COW and
the average farmer are being driven
from t. cir Helds-to better ones In
herited notions are giving way to the
logic of facts An old farmer in my
state says: "Feed makes the cow"
Prof Henry, at the experiment sta
tion, says nothing, and feeds a com
mon COW, grade Jersey and
thoroughbred Jersey 17-cent ration,
nj, tha IN ma
with the same care, for week, and
from the common COW he gets one
pound of butter, from the grade one
pound and five ounces, and from the
thoroughbred one pound and fifteen
ounces. A farmer in New Jersey by
grading, without special change Of
feed, raised his butter average in o
large herd, in ten years, from 125
pounds to 275 pounds. ! test the COWS
in my own herd and find them rang
ing from six to seventeen pounds of
butter per week on the same feed.
Does feed make the COW? Good blood
lies at the foundation of dairy success.
The average farmer has enough of it
when electrified by thought; his cows
do not. Outside of his often thought
less disregard of his own business in
terests, the average farmer commands
both our love and our respect. He has
made these western states. Through
his modest and ,,ometimes unnoticed
toll have come railroads and schools
and pleasant villages and cities rich in
beauty and commercial life, and in his
quiet country home he has bred the men
who to-day control the business and
Srsa 81 Sc a
may criticise his business methods in
order to improve them, but we never
forget that the average farmer is more
than an average good citizen and more
than an average patriot And in the
great contest which is to come be-
tween the socialist, anarchist and COM
munistic enemies Of all government
and this government, he will be the
rock upon which this government
shall stand.

PENS FOR LANIBING EwEs.-It has
been our experience that light, strong.
close pens, say feet square and 21s
feet square, are best for lambing ewes.
They can be carried by one man and
placed over eve in the shed, yard or
pasture. They will be found very
handy and always ready for use. A
sick sheep can be treated readily in such
pen. In addition to putting ewes to
lamb in flock by themselves, as fast as
they come in they should be put in
the ''lambed focls'' and receive
ceive appropriate attention. If the
quarters are crowded they may still be
divided by putting ewes with strong
lambs, say week old, into flock by
themselves and given daily run in q
field of growing rye or wheat. Here
they will receive some green feed and
have plenty of milk for their lambs.
The lambs, too, will soon begin to
nibble fresh green shoots and grow
off beautifully. = South Dakota

COST OF WooL.-A writer in the "Ohio
Farmer" says: Our experimentstations
ought to come to our assistance and
work out for us the cost of producing
u pound Of wool. Very much has been
expended in investigating the cost of
beef, pork and butter, and wool has
been left to the fostering care of tho
politician. Now that they have de-
serted it, will not the scientists give it
some encouragement? 1t is the seventh
largest industry of the United States,
and is certainly an indispensable one
to the whole people. With Ohio lead
ing in the industry it seems that our
experiment station ought to do some
work with sheep. If it can not be
done at the station they might enlist
some farmers of the state for expert
menting. The contests at the expo
sition proved that we have something
to learn yet either in breeding or feed
ing, or both.

The Most Debt Burdsned Section OF the
Union,


Tho principal Western Indebtedness on
mortgage Is In and around Chicago, but
there Is ono startling fact to which my atten-
tion has been called by Mr.. Holmes OF tho
Census Bureau. In the great urban region In
and around- New York City the real estate
mortgage debt Is 81, ,279, 343, 7O3. This amount
is 2l.25 per cent. of the whole real estate
mortgage debt of the United States. 1t Is
81. .04 per cent. of the real estate mortgage
debt Of what is commonly known as tho West
extending from Ohio westward to Kansas and
northward to the Dakotas, with Its populous
cities of Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, De-
troit, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee,
Omaha, St. Louis and St. Paul. 1t Is doubt
less true that the value OF the real estate In
and about New York is far more than sufii-
cient to maintain this Indebtedness, yet 1t Is
an important fact to know where the indebt-
edness lIes and what Is the relative burden
contrasting the East with the West. 1t will
be remarked that the amount of the incum-
brancc In the eleven counties In and around
tho city of New York exceeds the amount OF
mortgages on all the farms Of tho United
StAtcs,-FOruul.
