Big Train Starts.
Boston Journal, Jan. !, 1897.

President elect Mckinley pressed an
electric button at his Canton home 30C
miles away at seven o'clock this morning
and operated an electrical cOntrivance on
the throttle of locomotive starting vast
consignment of ia cars of salt over the
Erie road for the New England States.
The big train, a mile and a quarter long,
is the Worcester salt SPECIAL, bearing
., 100000 pounds of Worcester salt. This
enormous shipment is to fill orders in New
England, nearly all of which had been Civ
en- contigent to Major McKinley's election.
The undertaking is remarkable in several
ways. 1t is the largest single shipment OF
manufactured commodity ever made by
one concern. 1t is shipped in the largest
number of cars ever used in one train.
The starting of the train by Maj. Mckin-
ley 300 miles away by an electrical device
is also something novel and unique. The
works of Worcester Company have been
running night and day to fill the orders.
As fast as the salt was packed 1t was put
into cars of the Erie road and run out on
sidings. These are new cars of the Erie
Grain Line, equipped with air brakes and
patent cOuplers, and the cars in the train
are all of the same pattern, making II not
only the largest, but the finest on the road.
Six locomotives were used to draw the
train. Early this morning Gov. Mckinley
telephoned he was ready. Mr.. Spaulding
large crowd was gathered about the loco
motives cabs, and at 7.30 Gov. Mckinley
touched the button, a flash of the fuse
wire followed, the throttle was pulled
back and the train started amid cheers of
the populace and the screaming of steam
whistles. The train ran in three sections
only five minutes apart, and all through
the western valleys of New York created
a sensation by it's handsome appearance.
Crowds gathered at the towns and cities
and cheered from the road as the train
swept past. Two of the sections go to New
York city, leaving Friday morning for
Boston, stopping at the principal stations
on the Shore Line. The third section goes
over the Fitchburg road to Boston. If the
barrels were placed on top of one another
the most elevated barrel would be over
six miles high, placed side by side, they
would cover twenty-acres of ground, and
make line five miles long. If the 1-2
pound bags were placed in row end to
end, they would reach 200, 700 feet. Under
like conditions the five pound bags would
reach 3O3, 740 feet. If the sacks were plac-
ed end to end they would reach 131 miles.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.

The revised ballot law provides that
all nomination papers for county and
township officers shall be filed not less
than 30 days previous to elebtion
This necessitates the holding of con-
ventions not later than the first Satur-
day in October. COMMITTEES should
bear this in mind and get all county
and township tickets filed in proper
time.
John W. Breidenthal denies the al
legation that good crops hurt Popu-
ism. ''The records show just the op-
posite,'' said he. SIN 1892, Kansas
had the greatest wheat crop in its his
tory and the Populists won their first
victory. Last fall we had tremen-
dous corn crop, and our party won
again. Big crops and low prices are
what make Populists. The Republi-
cans. in years of crop failures, say
that the Creator is to blame for the
condition of the farmers. The Popu-
lists can't buck that sort of talk sue
cessfully and, af a result, the Republi-
cans win.-Advocate.

REFORM PRESS.

The Reform Press Association met
in Emporia last Monday and Tuesday,
and as usual had an interesting and
instructive session. The association
was addressed by Gov. Leedy, who,
in his characteristic way, told what he
thought of Booth Tucker and the San
ia Fe railroad scheme for colonizing
western lands by giving each bona tide
settler ten acres of ground, hoe, a
house, a $500 mortgage and an occu-
patton tax of 81 per week. He asked
where the Santa Fe people got these
lands, and how congress got the right
to donate the same, basing on the
querry a scathing araignment OF the
road, congress and the supreme court.
He evidently felt his subject, and many
of his hearers said they had never
heard him speak with more clearness
and force. Messers Easterly and Mar
tindale had excellent papers on pro-
fessional questions and school text
books. Outcault, of Coffey, county,
spoke on the subject of an extra ses-
sion, favoring it, and explaining that
some of the legislation which failed of
enactment, was due to the fact that
quite number of those who We're op-
posed to the republicans were not pop
ulists, had been elected solely on the
silver question and were not in sym
pathy with many of our ideas.
Mr.. Stewart, of Manhattan, read an
exhaustive paper on the reorganiza-
tion of the Agricultural college. and
showed that when John A. Anderson
was placed in charge of the institute on
in 1873, there was an even more bitter
fight against the reorganization than
now, and that time would demonstrate
the wisdom of the present changes. He
also called attention to the fact that
the republicans in their mad effor to
destroy the populist party, were even
willing to destroy the institution, and
in their efforts to cripple it had recent
ly induced the federal government to
discontinue the agricultural expert
ments there. Partisan malice could
scarcely GO farther.
When business was concluded, Dick
Chase, ex-warden of the penitentiary,
got out his carriages and took us for
a drive around the city, especially
calling our attention to its colleges
and many beautiful residences. Much
of the credit for the pleasure of our
visit to Emporia is due to the efforts
Mr.. Chase, and last, but not least, to
Editor Yearout, of the populist paper
of Emporia, which, by the way, is one
of the best populist papers in Kansas.

EXPERIMENTS WITH WHEAT.

The following is summary of eX-
tensive experiments at the Kansas
state station: The acre which has been
in wheat for sixteen years past is be-
| ginning to show signs of exhaust on.
Early plowing for wheat, which will
| allow the soil to settle before it is
seeded, shows a decided advantage
over plowing just before seeding. The
plants which are sui SO led six weeks
before planting produce a better yield
! that those planted ia the ordinary way
! at the same time: but the plats which
were subsoiled a year before planting
and which had in the meantime been
cropped with peas gave no increase
over the plowed plats.
In inquiry as to the best time to seed
wheat, in which a series of plats
seeded every seventh day from Sept.
13 to November l, the seeding of Sept.
gave the best yield, 26.62 bushels per
acre, and successive seedlings showed
a constantly diminishing yield, till the
Seeding of Nov. l, which yielded but
500 bushels per acre of very inferior
grain. Experience and experiments
agree on about the middle of Septem-
Der as the best time to seed wheat in
this region.
Experiments with different amounts
of seed, Indicate that about II bushels
per acre give the best returns for this
region. AS to methods of seeding
tried, the shoe press drill gave this
year better results than seeding with a
hoe drill, lister drill. or broadcasting.
But itmust not be overlooked that
whether this or that
method will give the best Weld
will depend largely on the character
of the season. There was no marked
difference of the grades, light common
and heavy seed wheat, the present year
though the average for four years is
in favor of heavy seed.
Pasturing the wheat did not effect
the yield injuriously this year. For
mer experiments have given the best
yields when the wheat was not pastur-
ed. Wheat land manured 20 tons
barnyard manure per acre yearly has
given decidedly smaller yields than
land in wheat continuously without
manure. The wheat on the manured
land lodges and fails to fill. The best
yielding six varities, based on an av-
erage of several years, are the follow
ing, in the order named: Andrews No.
4, Turkey, Valley, Tasmanian Red,
Ramsey and Currell.
