trio HendlightH.

From the San Francisco Examiner
What will constitute a unique inaova-
ton, as well as a marked Improvement
in the railway service of the coast. is the
determination of the Southern Pacific
Company to equip all of it's passenger
trains with electric headlights. 1t will re-
quire sometime to make the change from
the old oil lights, but the company and
officials think the change will be consum-
mated in q few months
For the past two years the company has
been experimenting with the new ma
chine, and an electrician has been making
detailed study of it's workings. For
awhile two of the overland trains rum
ming between the Oakland mole and Sac
ramento were equipped with the ma
chine, and no doubt many people travelling
between those two places have seen the
brilliant flood of light it throws along the
track for long distance in front of a
fast moving train 1t was also tried on
one OF the trains running in and out of
Los Angeles, and at present one train he
tween here and Sacramento has the inn
proved headlight, and one running from
Sacramento to Reddlng on the Mount
Shasta route.
The company has endeavored to test 1t
both on straight and on curved portions
of the road, and has kept a record of its
reliability. AT first il was doubted that 1t
could be depended upon to burn steadily
and having this in view the oil light was
always carried on the engine so as not 10
leave the engineer without a headlight
should the electricity fail Within two
months however ii was found that II was
entirely reliable, and with but few in
structions the engineers learned to handle
the machine readily and in a satisfactory
manner.

certain 1t is also that this pony ran wild
for century or two. either alone or with
various red-skinned owners; and as he
gathered the sundry experiences of war
and peace, of being stolen and of being
abandoned IN the snow at inconVenient
distances from home, of being ridden by
two women and a baby at once and of
being eaten by bear, his wide range of
contretemps brought him a wit sharper
than the street Arabs and an attitude
toward life more blase than in the united
capitals of Europe.
L nave frequently caught him watching
me with an eye of such sardonic depre-

motive cannot do it, for 1 have tried this.
He relishes putting a man in absurd po-

and when he cannot bring a man to de-

surprising any circus to my thinking
A number of delighted passengers on
the Kansas Pacific railway passed by
Mexican vaquero, who had been sent out
from Kansas City to rope a buffalo as an
advertisement for the stock yards. The
train stopped to take a look at the soli-
tary horseman fast to a buffalo in the
midst of the plains. Jose, who had his
bull safely roped, shouted to ask if they
had any water on the train We'll
bring you some" said they. "Oh, come
get" said he; and, jumping off, he left his
accomplished pony in sole charge of the
buffalo.
Whenever the huge beast struggled for
freedom, the clever pony stiffened his legs
and leaned back as in a tug of war, by
jumps and lodges so anticipating each
move of the enemy that escape was entire
ly hopeless. The boy got his drink, and
his employer sent him out a car for the
buffalo, which was taken in triumph into
Kansas City behind the passenger train
The Mexican narrated the exploit to his
employer thus: ooh. Shirley, when the
train start they all give three greata big
cheers for me- and then they give three
mucha bigger cheers for the little gray
hoss."

CULTIVATION OF FLAX.

A Crop That Pays Well But Requires Con-
slant Care.
To be successful in the cultivation OF
flax good soil is needed, and it must
be well taken care Of Flax was not
evidently intended as premium on
laziness. A deep loan, more sandy than
clayey, seems to be the best, though if
you have not that kind of soil, any
other will do, provided it is rich and
not too wet. If lands are very wet by
nature, and you want to put flax on
them, DO not fail to drain them. This
work should be undertaken in time
for the soil to dry out; this may mean
one or two years previous to putting
on the crop.
1t exhausts the land, and rotation is
desirable, returning the fax to the same
land, say once every five years. In
manuring, do not use fresh manure I'M
less certain that it does not contain
weed and grass seeds.
/ There is an impression among fax
growers that the crop does particularly
well after wheat, provided the soil is
rich. Potatoes are used when the land
is poor, as the extra manure usually
applied to potatoes leaves the land in
better condition for the following crop
of fax. Corn is also a good crop to pre-.
cede fax, provided the corn be kept
clean, so no weeds will mature their
seeds to trouble the flax. Pillow deep,
as fax is deep-roote9. Above all things
make war on grass and weeds, as they
are particularly harmful to fields OF
fax. Sow seed thick, to give finer
plant, and, hence, less branches; that is,
If you want fiber. If seeds be the OBJ
ject, thin sowing will give fewer plants,
but more seeds.-Farmers' Review.

Experience has thoroughly demon.
strated the fact that no farm. no matte,
how rich the soil, will grow good crops
right along without liberal supplies d
manure. On the majority of farms the
greatest part Of the stock are given the
run OF the pastures during what NAV
be termed the growing season SO that
there is not very large amount Of
manure made that needs handling
But as soon as it becomes necessary to
commence feeding the stock the oppor.
tunity for making and saving manure
is improved. In order to make the most
out of it some planning or work ahead
Is necessary. 1t is as important to plan
to save the liquid weddings as well rs
the solids and plenty of bedding that
can be used all through the winter is
necessary to this. Then feed lots or
places where the stock can be fed to-
gether and the droppings be gathered
up, is essential, otherwise consider
able portion will be wasted. A good
plan now is to save up everything that
can be used to an advantage for bed
ding, and if rightly managed will help
materially to increase the quantity Of
manure. One thing should be remem-
bered that while it is quite ain item to
make and save all of the manure possi-
BILE it is OF no advantage to increase the
quantity at the expense of quality. An
other item is to arrange good feed lots
with racks or hangers where the rough
feed can be used and at the same time
the manure all be saved. The only
safe plan is to treat the manure the
same as crop and plan to make the
most out of it, making all that can be
done and then saving and hauling out
and applying to the land whenever the
other farm work will permit.-N. J.

the value to health of the pure liquid

Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
