Some Railroad Accidents That Can
not BE Reasoned Out.

The recent accident on the Grand
Trunk road, by which Is people lost
their lives, was one of those hopeless,
battling things which are not Gully un-
explainable. but which almost con-
found conjecture, says the Railway
Age. The engineer of the train which
ran into the rear end of the second
section of the pilgrim train when the
latter was stopping to take wate-,
was an old and trusted man. He had
been running an engine for 20 years,
and for practically the whole time on
the same run. lie may be literally
said to have been familiar with every
foot of the track along where the ac-
cident occurred.
He had no bad habits, was nniyers-
ally respected, and had given no evil
dence Of any decay Of his mental
powers. He knew that the pilgrim
train with its two sections was ahead
of him. lie knew that the place where
the accident occurred was water sta
ton. and that the train ahead would
stop there. There was semaphore
signal against him as wen as, alto.

BARNARD MANURE.

Its Importance and Pecuntary Value on
the Farm.
Barnyard manure is the most impor-
tant manurial resource of the farm and
should be carefully saved and used: 1t
represents fertility drawn from tile soil
and must be returned to it if procluc-
tiveness is TO be maintained.
This manure contains all the fertile.
ing elements required by plants in
forms that insure plentiful crops and
permanent fertility to the soil. Tho
urine is the most valuable portion, but
1T is best used in connection with tho
solid dung, one thus correcting the de-
hciencies of the other.
The amount and value Of the manure
produced by different farm animals is
put at the following figures in the
latest farmers bulletin. the computa-
tions being made on the basis OF /, 900
pounds of live weight: Sheep, 34.1
pounds OF manure per day, worth re
cents; calves. 67.s pounds, worth CT
cents: pigs. 1915 pounds, worth 1877
cents; cows, TAI pounds, worth cents,
and horses. 4e.s pounds, worth 10
cents, basing calculations of value on
market prices % commercial fertilizers,
which probably gives results much too
high. Making liberal allowances for
these and other considerations, Prof.
Roberts estimates that tho value of the
manure produced on q small farm car
rying horses, 90 cows, SO sheep and 10
pigs during the seven winter months
amounts to about $3.50. Poultry man
ure is the most highly esteemed as a
fertilizer; after which come respective
