FARM WAGON By TROLLEY.
A Special Truck TO Carry 1t when Rails
Are Reached.

A great many different schemes have
been proposed, and some of them have
been tried, for lessening the work of
carting farm produce into town. The
traction engine is used for that pur.
pose to considerable extent in Eng.
land, although in America very little
hauling is done Herewith. Then
again there has been good deal of
talk of laying broad, guttered rails on
the common highway for the wheels
of the ordinary wagon to run in.
In some parts of the United States
there are trolley lines reaching through
the rural regions and carrying not
only passengers, but also mail and ex-
press matter.
A Toledo man, named Bonner, has
devised special truck which is de-
signed to run on street railway and
to carry farm or express wagon. In
asmuch as the ordinary vehicle would
not fit the truck, Mr.. Bonner thinks
IL better to have his own wagon as
we'll as his railway truck. He has OBJ
tGned franchise from the city Of
Toledo for running his wagons through
the streets.
After the city service is fairly started
Mr.. Bonner will endeavor to secure
rrral patronage. OF course, il will be

There are two deep revers, one over

and faced with white mousseline de
sole. 1t is intended to be worn with
q fine blue wool skirt shade deeper

REAR ADMIRAL DEWErS
SWORD Of HONOR.

OF all the presentation swords
which the United States Gov vernment
has given in times past TO it's heroes
Of the army and navy, none equals in
artistic beauty and skillful design the
sword Of honor soon to be Civ en- Rear
Admiral George Dewey.
The cost Of the sword will not be far
from $40, 900, which was appropriated d
by Congress last May to defray the
expense, also, of man ufacturing q set
Of bronze medals for the off GERS and
men of the Asiatic Squadron.
With the exception of the steel
blade and the body metal of the scab-
bard the sword will be made entirely
of pure gold, Of twenty-five carats
fine; the grip will be covered with fine
sharkskin bound with gold wire and
inlaid with gold stars. Above the
sharkskin the handle terminates in q
richly carved and enameled gold
collar and knot. A narrow band of
oak leaves unites the sharkskin to the
collar. Then come the arms of the
Admiral's native State, Vermont, with
tho motto, Freedom and Unity"

necessary for such farmers as wish to
take advantage Of his plan to have the
right sort of wagons and to haul them
by horse power near enough to town
to reach the trolley tracks. But in
Ohio there are numerous trolley roads
extending from one town to another
and attaining u length of ten, fifteen
and even twenty-five miles. If q
farmer only lives along one of these
routes he will not need to haul his
wagons more than few rods. Indeed,
IL he has switch and sidetrack and
loads his wagons while they stand on
the latter he will have an easy task

the top, is the great seal of the United
States, with the blue field OF the
shield in enamel the shield in the
arms Of Vermont is also enameled.
The collar is surmounted with o
closely woven wreath Of oak leaves,
the standard decoration for rank, and
the intervening spaces between the
decoration ore studded with stars.
On the pommel is carved the name
of the cruiser Olympia, and me
zodiacal sign for the month of De-
cember. when Dewey was born.
The guard is composed Of conven.
tional eagle, terminating in q claw
clasping the top, the outspread wings
forming the guard proper. The ex-
preston Of the eagle is one Of cool de-
Termination, and, while firm, still
bearing O message of peace in the
laurel wreath held in the beak. The
wreath serves as protection, cover
ing the point Of the beak, and at the
same time preserves the proper out
lines Of the guard.
The scabbard will be of thin steel,
damacened in gold, with sprays OF
rose marinus, signifying fidelity, con-
stancy and remembrance. The sprays
are interlaced in the form of series
Of cartouches, with star in the cen
tre of each, while dolphins fill the
outer spaces. Sprays of oak leaves
and aoorns secure the rings and trap

LETTER PERFECT.
An Ambitious Young Soldier Who
Thought He Was Born
to Command.

Elmer Campbell! was the greenest and most
ambitious raw recruit in Col. Hartigan reg
iment of Tigers The young man was the
best type of the ''hayfoot straw foot sol
der in the ranks, and yet he was more anx-
ious than anyone to become an officer
He pleaded with the colonel so long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure
a book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was a vacancy among the Off
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con.
tents.
Forward, column right Tor left, as tn,
case may bel, march"
That was the form of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these BY heart,
parentheses and all. He even committed the
explanatory notes to memory He was mas
ter of that book of tactics and military life
began to take on roseate hue in his eyes
One day the colonel called the men out for
drill and told Campbell he could try his hand
at giving orders if he wished Campbell
wished and Immediately took the posi-
ton opposite the head of his column. which
the book had told him was the proper thing
to do. Then he swelled his chest trifle. and
with blus of pride called out:
Forward, column. right or left, as the
case may be. march"
The column prepared to turn right as that
word was uttered, but when left as the
case may be- reached the ears of the men
they stood stock STILL Then, as the situation
explained itself, hearty laugh went all
along the line. The colonel Quoted the
commotion, walked over to the recruit, and
made few earnest remarks in Campbells
ears.
Campbell is still private, and is content
to hide. his light under a bushel.-Chicago

CURE FOR BLACK KNOT.
A New Method Which Has Proved
Successful Wherever 1t Has
Been Given q Trial,

The black knot is producing great
disaster among plum trees and prom
iaes to destroy some of the most ,aluas
bic kinds.
William Mendenhall, in the Horticul-
tural Visitor, says thus far no remedy
seems to be suggested by fruit growers
except to cut down and destroy the
trees which are attacked, but we find
on visiting the orchard of Mr.. Joseph
n. Pagan, of West Richmond, and talk
ing with him that he has discovered a
method which he regards as positive
cure of the pest. 1t originated with
him, and he freely gives it to the pub
nc for the general good. Being very
simple, it can be readily tried by any
one. AS soon as black knot appears.
which is shown by the swelling on the
trunk or limb of the tree, he cuts with
knife an incision along the line of it
and saturates with chloro naptho-
leum. a disinfectng fluid, a small can
of which can be had at any drug store.
Another application should be had in
the fall. We saw several trees on
which this was done, and in everycase
the black knot was DESTROYED and the
tree saved. In one case the black knot
had been several feet long and it was
entirely removed and new growth es-
tablished. Several kinds of trees. in
Guiding the Damson, were operated
on. and the trial was always a success.

THE KITCHEN WASTE.
It Makes the Richest Kind OF Fer
tilizcr for Flower Beds ana All
Garden Crops.

There is no necessity for throwing
the waste from the kitchen into the
drain from the house, and to do so is
absolute waste of valuable fertiliZinG
material. Dishwater, soapsuds and
all such waste products make the best
kind of fertilizers for grape vines, cur
rant and gooseberry bushes and trees,
and vegetab BILE parings may be put to
good use by being kept separate,
cooked and mixed with bran as feed
for pigs and chickens.
The richest kind of fertilizer that
can be made Ger flowers and garden
crops is to make fat pile of sods, lawn
clippings and other such material, on
which is thrown the soapsuds and dish
water and other liquid waste from the
kitchen and house. This compost pile
should be turned over once in awhile
so as to become thoroughly mixed and
rotted together, and then use where
quick and thrifty growth is desired.
All garden crops require an extra
amount of plant food because they
have been bred to make quick

every case. There is not single gar
den crop that is not benefited by fer
tilizing, no matter how fertile the soil
may be. Cabbages, tomatoes, cucum-
bers and melon vines, beets, onions,
lettuce, and radishes respond to extra
tertlllzlng very promptly, and if the
kitchen and house waste is utilized the
average family makes enough of this
waste in year to fertilize the garden.
Soapsuds and dishwater are both
rich in potash. and the garden crops
take to them very kindly. If employed
in this way the waste may be put to
good use, instead of clogging up the
drain and creating IN unpleasant and
disease-breeding odor through the
warm months.-Farmers' Voice.
