TAKOMA PARK.

Mr.. Frederick A. Schneider, who was elected a
member of the town council to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Byron C. Coon
was present at the council meeting Monday even
ing and took the oath Of Office
The council, found ii expedent to make new
arrangements for the and maintenance of the
corporation street lamps in North Takoma which,
1t Is believed. will insure a more satisfa Glory
service. The board walks in all sections OF the
town are deteriorating very fast u number are
irreparable, while those Carroll and other ave-
nues will hardly last through the winter without
extensive repairs. 1t has been found of doubtful
economy to construct such walks and the question
Of suitable substitute has engrossed the attention
OF the council for some time. The cummittee on
public improvements has been directed to submit
estimates for various kinds Of paving material
suitable for the sidewalks.
The electric heaters which to take the place
OF the stoves used last winter on the Of the
Brightw00d railway have arrived and are rapidly
being placed in position The delay was accustomed
by the failure OF the manufacturers to deliver the
heaters when promiesd.
Considerable interest is manifested by contem-
plated purchasers In the annual tax sale for de-
iinqueut corporation taxes, which occurs early In
the spring. A penalty Of per cent was added to
all unpaid taxes December 1. and q penalty OF 8
per cent will be added January I.

CULTURE OF THE SOIL.
Model Farms to BE Established in
Kansas md Nehrnskn

The attention that soil culture is rsceiv-
ing in the west has determined The Barring
ton Railroad Company to establish a num-
Der Of experimental stations, .r "mcdel
farms in Kansas and Nebraska, in order
improved methods of soil culture and to
lead the farmers of Nebraska and kansas
to neY efforts ia this direction and enable
them to become independent, even in So
called drought sections and dry years"
Incidentally the company expects returns

regular crop, necesSitating heavy freight
and passenger traf,IC. Mr.. John Francis
has just returned from 4 trip over Ne
braska and Kansas, where he has es!ab-
lished model farms at Obarsia, Kan, and at
McCook, Hoidredgc, Alma and Broken Bow.

Something was done in this line by the
company last year, and with immensely
satisfactory results. The farms consist OF
forty acres in each station under the i'm
mediate supervision of practical and tried
farmer of the neighborhood. Each farm
will be visited frequently by one of the
learned corps Of professors under Pro fessor
Campbell. all of whom are skilled in the
new method.
Nebraska and Kansas farm staples
corn, wheat rye. oats ana potatoes--wiil he
produced. The farming at the experiment
stations is conducted primarily on the iheo-
ry that the rainfall of the west ample
and abundant for all practical farming
purposes, but that owing to capillary at
traction the moisture escapes from the
earth before it performs its proper and de-
sired functions. The new method will con-
tribute 10 retard the action of natures law

Superintendent of Buildings Cons table
made the statement in a conference with
Mayor Strong of New York yesterday that
there are $500 large buildings in that city

have to be constantly watched.
The unsafe buildings. Mr.. Constable said,
are those adjoining sky scrapers. The
architects of the new buildings We're not
negligent in the way OF providing proper
securities for the new buildings. but they
did not pay enough attention TO the hUiid-
ings adjoining. For :he sky scrapers il
was necessary TO sink deep caissons In or

sinking of these caissons. and the driving
of piles were. Mr.. Constable said, response

Another danger to tire city fr)n .he cree

added, is that arising from insufficient sew

and the result might i,s an epidemic.
He also complained of she lack of water
