Chief Engineer w. T. Manning of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
invented a new rail that experts say
has many points of interest to rail
road owners, the principal one being
it's economical feature. 1t is well
known that rails weal rapidly on
curves and where these are short and
traffic heavy, the cost of renewal is
very large. Manning has evolved a
section, which, he asserts, will reduce
the cost 81 per cent per O per year.
He adds materially to the life Of the
rail by placing additional metal in the
head and or the side upon which the
wear comes. The new rail will be
given a thorough test on the Balti-
mor and Ohio Railroad, the receivers
having ordered 1000 tons from the
Carnegie Steel Co. The Pittsbura
& Western has also ordered 500 tons.

Regarding Western Canada.
Mr.. T. A. Tolman, Of Lacombe, Al
berta, n. w. T.. a former resident Of
Cascia County, Idaho. who moved to
Western Canada in July, 1894, writes
as follows:
Il brought here thirty-four head of
cattle. fifteen horses. two wagons two
sets of harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. l homesteaded
h southeast quarter of Section Is,
Township 40. Range %. west of the 4th
Meridian. also purchased a quarter
section Of Canadian Pacific Railway
land. ! have been farming more or
less all my life, and ] am convinced
that O can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where | came from.
My capital at present. counting every
thing, is about five thousand dollars.
The yield Of my grain all round in 1897
was 60 bushels per acre. This year
(lS9S) yield OF wheat per acre, 31A
bushels, oats, 80 bushels, barley,
80, and potatoes, 400 per acre.
| consider that this is a much
better country for a man than
where l came from, provided he is in
dustrious. You get a free homestead
hero, and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy.
| have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me, and am
much pleased with my purchase, a. the
land has already much more than paid
for itself. School law here is decidedly
ahead of where | came from. and there
are schools wherever there are set
tiers"
