ANOTHER RAILROAD WIRE.
Additional Telegraph Service for the
 Consolidated Road.

Additional Ielegrapn SerNlce TOT tHe
 Consolidated Road.
 In consequence of the increasing busi- ness on the Consolidated road a new telegraph wire has been erected on the Shore Line route between New York and Boston for railroad service. The wire starts at Grand Central depot, New York. runs to Harlem river, thence to New Haven and to this city, and thence to Boston. It will be used for through service principally; it will be used for miscellaneous messages pertaining to railroad business, but not for train ser vice. The Consolidated road has anoth- CT wire from New Haven to Boston, and four wires to New York. One wire on each division is devoted to train ser vice and the remainder for miscellane- ous railroad uses.
 Most of the business for the new wire will be put on at Harlem river for Bos- ton, but it can be used in the New Lon don offices when required. The com pany for months has felt the necessity for the additional telegraph service.- New London Telegraph.

frogs in the ponds and boys and sends
them to the cities for epicures A large
hook is used, with the barb filed off.
The point is filed so that it is just
sharp enough to go through the frog 8

and line baited with a piece Of red
flannel. The frogs seem crazy to bite a
piece of red flannel, and there is no
trouble whatever in catching them If

Sheep In England.

Saws a writer in the London Live Stock
Journal "lf one were called upon to sum
up concisely the results OF the sheep
breeding industry of the past sixty years
probably the first thing to say would be
that there had been a general "leyeling"
of the character of the national hocks
Whether there are actually more sheep in
the country may be uncertain. but there
are certainly vastly more good sheep - a
very large proportion of those which were
in existence in 1887 being, as we know
from contemporary records, of the most
indifferent description. The next general
ization which would occur to one is that
short-wooled sheep have taken the fore
most place, and ousted, to a large extent
the long WOODS. Thirdly, there is now
greatly more attention given to the
production of mutton, and by consequence
to the cultivation of habits of early
maturity. Fourthly, the growth of certain
improved breeds, and the attention now
generally given to the pure breeding OF
sheep. and TO the record of their pedi-
grees has been a marked feat re OF the
Queens reign. 1t is curious to reflect
that several of the breeds of sheep VIII oh
are now most popular have been entirely
developed - one might almost say con-
structed within the Victorian era
The Shropshires are a notable case in
point, and other instances which might
be mentioned are the HAMPSHIRE Downs.

Devon Long woods

TOBACCO CULTURE.
Three Successive Years of Field Expert
ments In Massach usetts.

Three Successive Years of Field Expert
ments In Massachusetts,.
From the Hatch Mass. station
comes bulletin No. A on field expert
ments with tobacco carried on at Hat
field, Agawam and Westfeld, with the
cooperation of the Valley Tobacco Ex-
pertinent association of Massachusetts.
Some of the conclusions drawn from the
third year of observation are as follows
Good mechanical preparation of the
soil, early application Of fertilizers,
early planting and suitable number of
plants per acre, exert decided influ-
ence on quality and quantity of the crop.
Early planting secures the benefit OF
winter moisture. Rows 1-3 feet apart
with plants 20 inches apart In the row
at Westfield. and rows 23 feet apart
with plants 2 feet apart in the row at
Hatfield, gave better returns than rows
feet apart with plants IS inches apart
in the row at Agawam.
A timely shallow use of the cultiva-
tor or the hoe for the removal of weeds
favors uniform progress of growth A
careless use of cultivator or hoe lnyarl-
ably checks more or less the growth of
the plants and modifies more or less
their structure and general character
The different fertilizer mixtures used
have affected in less marked degree
the weight of the crop raised by their
aid than the quality. New lands re-
duced by previous cropping to a state
approaching general exhaustion Of avail
able plant food--if otherwise well fitted
for raising tobacco-haye given excel
lent results when supplied with suit
able mixture of fertilizing ingredients.
Such lands are at times preferable to
old tobacco lands oyercharged with rem
nants of all kinds of saline ingredients
usually associated with the common
run of commercial fertilizers
Cottonseed meal, linseed meal and
castor pomace have proved equally good
sources of nitrogen for the successful
raising of tobacco, when used in CON
nection with nitrate of soda or potash
sufficient to furnish one-fourth of the
nitrogen called for by the crop.
Nitrate of soda as part of the nitro
gen supply Of the fertilizer go per
cent? when used in presence of acid
phosphate or dissolved bone black, etc,
has been accompanied with better re-
suits regarding quality OF crop than
nitrate of potash under otherwise sim
liar conditions.
Cottonseed hull ashes and high grade
sulphate of potash have proved valu-
able sources of potash for tobacco, the
former in the majority of cases leading.
Nitrate of potash has produced excellent
results when used in connection with
an alkaline phosphate, as phosphate
Stag meal, or with carbonate of potash
maRnesia. Results with potash mag
nesia sulphate as main potash sources
of tobacco fertilizer are not encourag-
ing
The difference noticed in the color of
ash, etc, in case of the crop being
raised upon different plats is i'll several
instances SO slight that any attempt at
classifying the various fertilizers used
with reference to their superior fitness
cannot be otherwise than somewhat
arbitrary.
The variety of tobacco selected for
the trial was Havana seed.

At tho third annnaS convention of the
National Shippers association at Buffa-
10 delegates IN attendance represented
every state esss of the Mississippi. The
estimate of the crop of 1897 is below a
full crop Delegates estimates show a
considerable falling off in the east. while
the west, particularly Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas, shows decided
lsnorease both as to percentage OF crops
and acreage in bearing. 1t is thought
that the crop will be considerably below
that of last year, but about equal to the
average for the United States.
