BIG RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
To Merge All Vanderbilt Lines Under
One Manngement.

TO Merge All vanderbilt Lines Under
One Management.
New York, Jan. 31.-The consolida-
ton of the Lake Shore railroad with
the New York Central, under the name
of the latter, is simply the initial step
in railroad plan that in scope and ex-
tent eclipses anything hitherto UNDER
taken in the history of railroading. The
scheme is to consolidate into one COM
pany the whole Vanderbilt system and
such lines as it may be able to control
AND lease, and place the whole enor-
nous organization under one manage
ment.
The next step in this gigantic plan
of consolidation will be the merging of
the Cleveland, Chicago and st. Louis
railroad, generally known as the Big
-Four, with the Chesapeake and Ohio,
under the name of the former. Mel
Vile E. ingalls, is now president Of both
roads. The Big Four is Vanderbilt
property. Probably the same plan Of
consolidation will be followed out in
these roads as the Lake Shore.
The next step will bring the roads
into the new combination of the Lake
Shore andNhe New York Central. The
next road to fall into line will be the
Chicago and Northwestern. This, like
the Lake Shore and the Big Four, is an
in and out Vanderbilt property. In the
meantime there is talk Of consolida-
ton of the West Shore and Nickel
Plate and the Michigan Central.

Seed For Early Potatoes.

stead obtained from Kentucky three bar
rels Of second crop seed potatoes. He
writes: "About two-thirds Of these |

than walnuts. At the same time l plant
ed like amount with ordinary seed.
The second crop potatoes came up and
produced from one to two strong and
vigorous stalks in each hill. They ripen-
ed one week earlier than the potatoes
grown from ordinary seed and were
much larger and better potatoes. Two
barrels Of this seed produced about 100
bushels Of very fine marketable tubers. I"

Cullcd From Various Sources.

There is to be a big plant for the
manufacture Of sugar from beets in Har
risburg or Riverton In 1898.
At an agricultural meeting J. II.
Hale spoke Of the Possibilities Of the
Connecticut Farmer" and described
some experiments in irrigation on his
farm which had increased the fruit yield
over 100 per cent and bettered the price.
This was selling water at an enormous
price compared with cost Of delivering
it at the plants roots.
