There has ust peen erected IN the Mount
Clare shops OF the Baltimore and ONO
steam boiler for the purpose Of testing To-
comotive boilers under steam pressure.
Heretofore locomotive had to be hauled
fire-box and steam gotten up in order to
make test, this method consuming much
valuable time
Under the new arrangement all this is
done while the engine IS standing in the
shop, system of steam pipes having
bee1 arranged, so that the engines on any
track IN the erecting shop can be tested
without being removed.

IN the course OF an address on this
subject, Hon. J. M. Bell, president of
the Illinois Sheep Breeders associa-
ton, said:
Fifty-fve years ago we had the poor
est sheep you ever saw. They would
not be called sheep now. After while
we realized we had to have better sheep
or quit the business. When we had to
fence the sheep we got better sheep.
AS time went along the business didn't
pay as we'll as we wanted it to, and we
had to have heavier feeces, and they
grew heavier and heavier, and then
came this depression. and mutton was
IN demand, and the sheep we used to
have were not quite the thing we
thought. Then We had to have a larger
sheep. We put on the mutton attach
ment, and I found when made inves-
LEGATIONS for the agricultural depart
ment that the men in 1889 who had
mutton in their flocks were pretty well
satisfied, and the men who didn't have
mutton in their. fiocks didn't know
what they were going to do.
In Illinois our situation is particu-
larly happy and particularly sorry. We
have the best land on earth. We can
raise more corn than anybody. We can
raise as much clover hay as anybody.
We can have the best blue grass pas
lures of anybody, and just as much of
them; and as you have heard of the
excellence of blue grass pasture for
cattle so it is for sheep. But we are
drifting in the right direction. We
kept sheep long time ago and thought
We never would raise mutton in this
country. It is raised everywhere now
In the United States. There isn't
district out west where mutton is not
included in their flocks We can beat
the world If we try, and it isn't very
hard for Illinois people to try.
We are today surrounded by corn
fields. In my own county we have
corn to burn. It is cheaper in Macon
county than anywhere else. Why?
Simply because there is no corn fed
there. Why is Nebraska so successful
and prosperous? Why are they getting
40c bushel for their corn fed to sheep?
They are raising the corn and feeding
1t to the sheep right on their farms
and paying off their mortgages. Why
should we not do the same way? This
thing will have to be done, and I in
slst upon it we shall breed our own
sheep. 1t will pay us better to feed
our corn and our oats and our hay to
we'll bred sheep than to range sheep.
There are thousands of acres Of land
in this country that ought never to be
plowed another time. They should be
put into pasture. These lands must be
kept up. These poor farms must be
recuperated, and nothing can do it so
thoroughly and quickly as sheep. I be-
lieve the time is coming, has come,
when we will have to improve our
lands Or abandon them, as they have in
the older states. have great hope in
the young men of our state. They will
"catch on" to the best methods of rails
ing sheep, adopt all the system there is
in commercial sheep raising, study the
adaptation of breeds to the purposes
they want, and the adaptation of breeds
to soil. If we will adopt commercial
sheep raising in Illinois, with all it
means, and breed our own sheep on our
poor lands, our state will be more
prosperous than it has been since the
war, when our lands were newer.

Stock Raising and Prosperity.-Lack
Of enterprise in stock raising has much
to dc with the poverty Of Spain and
Mexico. Their highest ambition is q
donkey or mule; and the American
farmer whose enterprise leads him
back to the breeding of mules will
never make farming pay, nor will such
farmers ever add to the prosperity or
progress Of their state or community.

nerves before I enlisted. They went

bullets. I began to feel feverish
from the day we got to Siboney.
When the Mausers sang about our
ears [ noticed that I was getting
nervous.
I found myself scarcely able to
walk after the battle of San Juan.
[ got worse until I got back to
Montauk Point, where [ got a bottle
of Paine's celery compound from an
other fellow in the regiment. 1 saw
several of the Rough Riders taking it.
With some Of them, as with me, it
seemed to take the place of both
food and medicine, for the systems
of many of the men needed toning
up before they could again eat as
they had done before they left this
country.
I don't know much about medi-
cines. We don't needmuch medicine
in New Mexico. But I know Paine's
celery compound has fixed me up
until I feel able to take the road for
home, where I expect to tell every
one who mentions nerves to me
about my case.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 1898.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co,
Gentlemen-If anybody in the
whole regiment of Rough Riders had
a chance to observe the general
weakened condition of the men when
they started back to the United
States, as compared with their stall
wart condition when they sailed
from San Antonio on June sth, I
think I had.
Oklahoma is generally regarded as
a healthy climate, and last May, when
left there, I hal dly knew what
sickness meant. Earlier in life, how
v I had lived in the East. and
after a month in service knew that
what I needed, III my general run
down condition, was a nerve tonic.
I knew if my nerves were fixed up
there would be no trouble about my
general health as 500 as I got away
from the army.
I also knew the position that
Pa1ne's celery compound occupied,
although I had not had occasion to
use it much myself. I got a few bot
ties of it and began to take it and
give it to a few of my acquaintance.
It actually seemed to build up my
nervous constitution almost as rap
idly as the Southern climate had
torn it down. The same thing was
true of the other men I gave it to.
Unless / had found this tonic to
restore my nerves I feel sure that I
would have gone to the hospital at
Montauk Point, and I might have
shared the fate of many other poor
fellows whose impoverished condi-
ton did not yield to the doctors
treatment. ~
It gives me pleasure to recon-
mend Paine's celery compound as
the best remedy ever sold in America.
