BUCKEYE STEEL FRAME
DISC GRAIN DRILL.

A FTER investigating the merits of
n nearly all the various makes OF Grain
Drills, with view to putting it on my
own farm, I have come to the. conclu-
sion that the BUCKEYE is the very
best made. 1t is a thoroughly ingenious
machine, made strong for durability, It's
frame is of square steel tubing ana the
discs are of the best steel. 1t will plant
with all ease 1t will SOW wheat and dis.
tribute fertilizers in manner that will
insure the best results and good crops;
II is harrow and grain drill combined
and al will do any kind of work expected of
a grain drill. I have been induced to
take the agency for it, and if you are in;
terested in a machine OF this kind would
be glad to have you call and examine 1t.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The New York Times, which finds
 nothing satisfactory in the TePc1: ct
 Secretary Of War A1ger, makes this
 suggestion :
 The investigation of congress into
 the conduct of the Spanish war should
 be connected w:Eh an inquiry into the
 best mode Of organizing the larger
 army that we shall need.
 The two questions are in no way
 identical, and each one must stand by itself. When the special commission appointed to investigate the conduct Of the war makes up it's report it will be
 time enough then to discuss it's find
 ings. The evidence adduced according to the fragmentary reports printed, re-
 veals that much of the testimony is contradictory Of some other portion. The weak places in the army manage ment appear to have been where civil ians were placed in authority and with out any conception Of army needs and regulations; where orders given were not obeyeG; where acquisitions made were not honored; and where there were mistakes of judgment upon the part of individuals who knew better but failed to utilize their knowledge to the best ends. There has thus far been no evidence showing that the war depart ment itself was directly responsible for blunders, but rather that the haste with which the volunteer force w1s thrown into the field made it impossible to have matters move with the precision and accuracy so necessary. It IS diff cult to see what is to come of the in vestigation, even though individual | neglect and responsibility shall be de- | termined. Individuals still in the ser vice may possibly be dismissed, but that will prove nothing 10 substantiate the wild charges made directly against -he war department. No war was ever fought without blunders, and so long as the United States has to depend up- on volunteer forces in time of war there will be blunders The war de- 2artment will emerge from the investi- gallon with it's reputation unl.arnished One result of the investigation ought to be a general feeling that the army should contain at least 100, 900 regulars. With such a nucleus this country would lcG again be handicapped at the begin hing of a war.

THINGS A BOY OF 3 KNOWS.

Away out in Laramie, Wyo., there is 9 little man of 5 years whose knowl- edge exceeds that Of many a one ten times his age. This little fellows name is Hugh Gibson Richards. He is the grandson of an old railroad engineer, H. A. Richards, now manager of the U. P. hotel of Laramie. Much credit is. of course, due to the grandfather for what Master Hugh knows, but when you hear what these things are you will realize that even more credit is due to the young gentleman himself. Among other things, he can name any part of a locomotive in sight, giving it's loca- tion and in some cases, it's use. He can name all the different cars in use He knows the names of all the generals of the late war and of all the admirals He knows all the parts of a battleship that can be seen.

The year 1898 has been rne most dis astrous one to lake shipping that has ever been known. A Chicago cOrre- spondent writes: "A careful estimate Of losses to shipping and vessel owners for the record breaking year Of 1898 places the probable figures at $2,5OOO, ,OOO This may be increased before the close of navigation, but, even without more storms or foundered vessels, it will hold first place for losses in the history of lake navigation. The year 1895 had hitherto held the record with a total loss of $2096,6 It still stands as the closest rival with the memorable sea- son just concluded. The three big storms Of October and November, 1898, have made this an extraordinary year. Added to the individual wrecks that oc- cured during the season they have swelled the total by an amoup. esti- mated to be approximately $95O, ,O00." It should be said, however, that the proportion of vessels lost to the whole number grows smaller every year. The lake fleets are increasing rapidly.

PUPILS THE PURPOSE.

As if to influence the members of the senate 10 unfavorable action on the Spanish-American treaty, the anti-ex- Pansion newspapers are making extra
 ordinary efforts to demonstrate the re- tention of the Philippines as a bun dering and reprehensible policy. Why they should claim that the United States has violated the promrse that the war should be one for humanity is al- together inexpHcable The statement indicates ignorance or wilful falsehood. By retaining the Philippines the Unit ed States has enlarged upon the hu- mane purpose that led into the war. There are but three things that can be done with the Philippines. They can be sold to some European power; they can be abandoned to the natives for the establishment of government, or they must be retained by the United States. The question of returning them to Spain has not been proposed because it would never be entertained, even by the most violent of the anti-expansion- ists. No one would consent To their being sold to an European power That would win fierce opposition from those who glory in the nations honor. Would it be better to abandon the islands to men like Aguinaldo, or 10 retain and develop them, which we can do with our power and wealth? If Spain has redeemed the inhabitants from savag- cry, then how much better can the United States lead them 10 high state of civilization. Viewed in it's larger aspect, from the point of humanity en- tirely, the possession of the Philippines by tlae United States is nCls only ex- ped4cnt but it is Of all policies that might be suggested tke most just.

COW CATCHER IN ENGLAND.

English railway men are debating
 the merits of COW catcheTs for lOcomO- tives The occasion which gives the subject prominence at this time is the Wel1inghorough wreck from derailment on the Midland railway some weeks ago in which the engineer, fireman and two passengers were killed. The cause Of the wreck was an obstruction in the form of a small truck playfully pushed onto the track by some boys, just pre- vious to the arrival of the train. Many writers in the English technical papers think the accident might have been averted if the locomotive had been fit ted with a COW catcher or pilot similar to those in service on Amer ican locOmo- lives A writer of considerable distinc- ton disputes this claim on the ground that the platforms on either side of the track would, in any case, have prevenc- ed the locomotive from throwing the OE5,rUctiCn clear of the track; and then goes on to defend the English position with reference to COW catchers by say ing tha,5 in England, where railway lines are fenced in and crossing gates and signal boxes provided at all neces- sary points, it is very unusual for Ob- sanctions of any kind to get upon the r2ck.-Railway and Engineering Re view
