THE BIGGEST BLOCKADE.

Equipment put>tion Becomes n Very
Serious One Among Railroads.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 25.-In speaking OF
the railroad situation, "a prominent Of
fetal said:
Never before has the railroad equip
ment question been so serious in the
West as now. The railroads are thou
sands and thousands of cars short, and
have no chance Of replenishing their
supply. Later on the shortage will he

move in earnest FOR the grain tonnage
alone now there are not enough cars.
Farmers feel the deficiency of equip
ment more this season thar ever before
because they were never before so
pressed by creditors. For a couple OF
years past they have been running in
debt, but their creditors We're generous
and shrewd enough to give them plenty
Of time, realizing that a good crop
would come. 1t came, all right. Cred
itors think farmers are in q position to
meet their obligations, and so they
would be if they could dispose
of their products Immediately, even
at the low prices which
prevail. But they cannot dispose of
them fast enough to secure sufficient
money TO satisfy their creditors. Why?
Largely because the railroads cannot
find cars to convey the products from
the fields to the markets. Land depart
ment> receive letters every day from
farmers which owe them installments
OH their land, saying:
Unless your road sends US cars we
cannot pay our dues, and you must ex-
tend the time
Farmers have little to fear from land

acting of their creditors.

The Famous Englishman's Resignation and
Prophetic Message to the Khedive.

A correspondent writing to The Scot
fish American says: One chilly morn
ing at Suez, in the winter Of lS79-SO.
I received a message from Colonel Cor
don. He had just landed from Suakin.
and wished to see me. l found him seat
ed in a room at the old Suez hotel, with
his black secretary and trusty factotum,
Mohammed Ell Tohamy, and a few
friends, including the governor of the
town.
Poor Mohammed FL Tohamy, who was
destined to see his master fall at Khar-
tum and probably shared his fate, was
looking cold and miserable, and l no.
ticed he was slipping some hot mixture
Of which the aroma did not seem fam
iliar.
On my entering, Gordon exclaimed:
Il have resigned the governor gen
eralship of the Sudan and am return
ing to England. The khedive's ministers
dared to send me instructions, and so l
nave resigned. Now, tell me honestly,
what will the world say of my work
in the Sudan after the years l have
spent there? What is the apparent re-
sult:'
l said something to the effect that his
uame would live and be remembered.
Aye" he rejoined, but what visible
trace remains of my exile and labor? 1t
is now Gods will that | should abandon
my task, and there is absolutely moth
ing to show-nothing for the world to
gaze at except'-he added this with a
curious smile and pointing to the shiv-
ering son of the tropics at the other side
of the table-''except, perhaps, that |
have taught my Mohammedan secretary
to drink hot toddy at 10 in the morn
ing"
Certainly Gordon's work was not in
tended for show. At Alexandria he had
an audience with the late khedive,
Tewfik Pasha, at which he rendered his
resignation, and then, removing his fez,
the badge of allegiance, addressed some
words of stirring advice to his highness,
Gas from an independent English gen
tleman." Before embarking for Europe
Gordon wrote a famous telegram to the

Making tho Most of Water.

To make one drop of water do
the work of two should be the aim
of every farmer in the irrigation
region who has the future welfare
of agriculture at heart, writes
Adam Scott, in the Denver Field
and Farm. This can only be effect
ed by thorough preparation and
cultivation Of the soil. Deep plow-
ing should be followed by careful
narrowing, reducing the soil to a
fine mellow condition. Sow the
seed as soon as possible in order to
give the crop every advantage over
the weeds. Corn should be har-
rowed once a week after planting
until it is six inches high. The
crop should not be irrigated in the
spring until it is absolutely neces-
sary, for the simple reason that
when the grain sprouts the rootlets
start out in the direction of the
nearest moisture. If the moisture
is on the surface of the ground the
roots of the plant will spread them
selves out just under the top of the
ground, and will be greatly injured
if not totally ruined the first time
water is short.
If the land is not irrigated until
the plants are well started and need
1t, the roots will be found going
downward after the necessary
moisture and in the future half the
usual amount of water will be suf-
ficent to make the crop. During
the irrigation apply the water
slowly and gradually, letting it fill
up and saturate the ground instead
of throwing a great head of water
over the ground for a short time.
To illustrate, you can dash pail
full of water over sponge; nine
tenths Of the water is wasted and
the sponge is not full. Then take
a quart cupful and allow the water
to trickle slowly on the sponge and
it is filled and you have water to
spare.
In order to do this, divide the
head of water into as many small
streams as possible and if one day
does not irrigate the field, give it
two or three, and when it has taken
all the water 1t will hold, if the
land has been plowed deep it will
be some time before it needs any
more, and rolling land will not be
washed into ruts that cannot be
crossed with a mower, and the
lower places will not be drownded
out. The stormy days in spring can
be put to good use making small
boxes and putting them at the
places where the irrigator has been
used to taking out the shovelful of
dirt. In this way perfect control
of the water can be obtained; the
hard work of irrigating is reduced
one-half, no water is wasted; you
have plenty, and the man at the
tail end of the ditch has more

AL. Meyer Believed to Be Among tho
Passengers Lost.
AL. Meyer, well known to every
old Arizonan, undoubtedly perish
ed in athe wreck of the Colima, of
Mexican coast. He was in Phenix
about two weeks ago, in the inter
est of a New Orleans brewing
house, and left the city with the
expressed intention of going al
once to Guaymas, and thence to
Mazatlan, to catch the first Pacific
mail steamer for Guatemala, where
he had business interests. The
dispatches state that at Mazatlan a
number of passengers were taken
aboard, one of the number being
an American. This American, in
all probability was Meyer, and his
name was not reported among the
rescued.
Meyer was about fifty years OF
age, a jolly, whole-souled man,
with the widest circle of friends.
At one time he was manager ofthe
largest business house in Tucson,
where his brother, Isadore Meyer,
has yet a merchantile establish

ONLY A BRAKEMAN.

[Near the city of Cleveland no
long ago, lay poor dying brake
man. Nobody knew him at tha
time, and the press only gaves hin
this parting notice: "Last even
ing brakeman was slain." But
there were fearful eyes and break
ing hearts away in the distant cot
tage that longed for his coming. !
Only poor dying brakeman,
Simply a hard laboring man,
And the smoke and the SCOT of the
engine,
Had blackened his face of tan
Only a poor mangled body,
Nobody knew "whats his name
Andy the buried him out by the
wayside,
In rustic like coffin, and plain
Only poor unfortunate,
No ono to smooth down his hair
No one to kiss him for loved ones,
No one to offer prayer.
No one to tell him of heaven,
No one to point him to God,
But quickly and deeply they laid
him
Away in the cold, cruel sod.
Roughly they wrote on his head
board,
"One simply killed by the brake
But they said not word of his
hardships,
A working for others sake.
And the dailies that publish news
items,
That headlines the rich when
there slain,
Found time in their rush but to
mention,
"Last evening brakeman was
slain"
Twas only poor dying father,
Out and away frnm his home,
And the loved ones tonight, in
their sadness,
Are waiting and watching alone.
Simply a few little children,
Only a heart broden wife,
Privations for these he had suffer
ed,
And gave up his own precious
life.
God pity these poor struggling
brakemen,
God pity each hard laboring
man
And make us feel kindly towards
them,
God help us to hold up theil
hand.

The publisher ofa newspaper has
one thing to rent, says an exchange.
He has the newspaper to sell and
the space in his columns to rent.
Can any one inform us why he
should be expected to give away
either one or the other; He can
do so if he chooses, and he does,
as a matter of practical fact, fur
nish a great deal of space rent free.
But it does not follow that it ought
to be recognized as contribution
exactly as would be the giving
away of sugar or coffee by the
grocery man. But strange to say,
it is not looked upon in that light
The existence of newspaper de-
pends as much on the rent of his
space and the sale of his paper as
the merchants success depends on
selling his goods instead of giving
them away.

is one that is cultivated in the u.s.
ual way. The idea of Saving la
Dor" in this,as in many other cases,
involves greater amount Of la
Dor than the old time plan it would
surpersede.
"Plow deep for potatoes" we
often hear said. That depends.
We want the soil in the hill full of
organic matter If a soil is already
filled with humus, deep plowing Is
best; but if deficient in this respect,
the sod should not be turned very
deep. The ftlrrow should be set
on edge, and the disc harrow run
deep enough to tear it we'll in
pieces. If the stock of the vege-
table matter be small, we want it
where we can use it to the best
advrntage-within the top six or
seven inches Of the soil.
Thin your crop; do not be afraid.
AS soon as the fruit of peaches or
pears or other fruits has become
large enough to show the size of
the crop, thin out a portion, if there
is certainly too much of it. Very
many trees are permanently injur-
ed by being permitted to over
bear.
The manure pile is the farmers
main source Of supply. Think
over that a moment. Do you
make the most of it? The urine OF
most animals is as valuable as the
solid manure, and the hungry lands
protest against the waste of vege-
table and mineral food of the best
quality.
Hot soap suds, kerosene emul-
sion, tar water, tobacco tea, and
bubach are good remedies for the
cabbage worm. Either of these
will make short work of the pest
While the plants are young paris
green solution of plaster might be
put on them without danger, but
on general principals the other
remedies are safer.
Plants which ripen their wood
throughly are those which gel
through the winter the best. A
fruitful cause of loss among black
berries and raspberries is too much
manure during the summer. The
ends of grape vines which do moi
ripen thoroughly are always win
ter killed. Do the cultivating and
manNring in the spring,and push
along the vigorous growth.
Fruit growers by this time should
know that nothing impossible now
stands between them and fruit
crop every yrar. Spraying has
made a revolution. The orchard
which has been sprayed produced
bountifully, while that on the next
farm bears nothing at all. Where
it has not become the fashion in q
neighborhood, the man who begins
will reap a rich reward.
Though but a mixture of blue
stone, lime and water, the Bordeauz
mixture is a wonderful discovery
for the fruit orchard. Fungus
blight and insect are no longer 6
terror. Moreover, spraying seems
to promote the growth of the trees
and increases their bearing ten
denotes. 1t seems to be even max
ing it possible to raise Seeding
fruit stocks in this country, which
we have heretofore imported.
More moisture is required to fill
a peach than to make its greer
leaves, therefore peaches do not dc
well in time of drouth. The peach
requires potash for its development
but in dry times this is often re
verted to it's insoluble forms; more
must be added, or some mineral
like salt, must be added to render
its soluble again. Gen. Ing.
