Freight Wreck Caused Two Deaths

A very serious collision occurred yes

the Interoceanic railroad. Freight
train No 10, leaving Veracruz at !. 30 a
m. and due at Pacho, the next station
below Jalapa, at $40 q. IN, where it
meets the down freiR ht train No. 5, had
yesterday to be run in two sections. ow-
ing to the large quantity of freiR that
this popular road is now carrying.
The first section of No. 10 was car
rying the customary signals denOtiug
that another section was following with
the same rights, privileges, etc, as
the first. 1t met No. 5 at Pacho &C.
cording to custom, but there Micha H.,
the engineer of No. 5, failed to observe
the signals carried by the first section
of No 10. Accordingly. when the lat
ter pulled cut of the station, Michaels
pulled out with No in the direction
of Veracruz, regardless of the signals
which ought to have told him that he
was rushing hesdlong to collision
with the second section of No. 10.
The engines crashed into one another
two kilometers below Pacho. The sec
ond section of 10 was double header,
the engineers being Cory and Thomas.

this poisonous matter emitted from the

kept clean and are constructed in such
q way that they cannot be seen into

sers by.
"Returning to Ell Paso.. Do you see
any precautiOn of that kind exercised
here? Not much. 1t would turn the
stomach OF a horse to pass through the

use it as they please and the result is
something awful. The rooming houses,
too, are very careless with this

PRUNING GRAPEVINES.
a Method Successfully Used by the
Horticulturists of a Prominent
Experiment Station.

The cut represents good method of
pruning and training grapevines, rec
commended in one of the station bull
letins. The vine in its early years is
pruned to make low, stout head that
will stand without support, having two
or more short arms. One of the new
fruiting canes is left on each of the two
arms, and this is bent in circle and
first tied low down near the head To
insure fruitfulness rather than Wig
orous growth of wood these canes
should receive a severe bend near the
base. This can be accomplished by
drawing up or pressing down, as re-
quired, in making the second or upper
tie. Care must, of course, be taken to
Iron County register., 1899-03-16

not break the canes in making this
sharp bend. To distribute the fruit and
foliage the canes should be crossed at
right angles. No more than two canes
should be crossed in this way. \ short
spur of two buds (not shown in cut
should be left. one on each branch, to
make new wood for next years fruit
ing. as this years fruiting canes must
be cut away.
Pruning grapevines may now be pros
ecuted during any fine weather. The
intention and purpose of pruning a
vine are to concentrate the growth and
productive capacity of the plant TO the
fruiting of comparatively few buds,
and not spread it over great length
of vine and numerous buds. The canes.
then, of last seasons growth. some of
which may be ten to fifteen feet long,
are cut back to two eyes, leaving short
spurs, from which the next years
growthis to proceed. Some of the canes
may be cut altogether, and only enough
left to bear as much fruit. and no more,
as the vine can properly mature of the
best quality.-Farm Journal

TIE breeding of fine horses, which
has been largely neglected for num-
ber OF years, is receiving a wonderful
impetus this season. Farmers have
commenced to realize that the world of
commerce cannot be moved without
good horses, and the increasing domes-
tic consumption and foreign demand
must advance the prices of horses suit

munities are commencing to take active
interest in the subject and in many
instances local organizations are
formed for the purpose of purchasing
prime breeding animals. This is a move
ment in the right direction. as the day

WHAT BAD ROADS COST.
Total Cost of Wagon Freight for
Twelve Months Represents an
Enormous Amount.

Gen. Roy Stone figures out that there
are ,500,0 900 miles of public road in the
United States, over which 500, 100000
tons of freight are hauled every year.
Putting the average haul at eight
miles-though this is probably an over
estimate-he figures the cost of carting
at two dollars the ton, or 81 900, ,OOO, 600
the year.
With uniformly good roads the cost
of moving this freight would be only
$400,000,000, saving 5000, 100000 to the
public annually. This is equivalent to
the yearly interest on $40, 900. .O00, 600 of
three per cent. government bonds.
One-half of this almost inconceivably
vast sum would rebuild every mile of
road in the United States at an average
cost of, say, $6,166 per mile, and the
other half would furnish a yearly in
come of $500 per mile for their repair
and maintenance.
At present the people spend the vast
sum of $50 600. 900 each year in repair
ing their worthless roads. This sum
would build 1000 miles of thoroughly
good macadam road, sufficiently wide
for rural use.
Experiments made in the Missouri
agricultural experiment station show
that in nearly all road conditions broad
tired wagons pull easier than those
with narrow tires. On macadam road
load of 2,51S pounds can be hauled on
broad tires with the same draught as
load of 1000 pounds on narrow tires.
On gravel road. except when wet and
sloppy on top, the draught of the broad
tired wagon is much less than that of
the narrow-tired wagon; load of 2,4S2
pounds can be hauled on broad tires
with the draught required for 1000
pounds on narrow tires.
The trials on dirt roads give varying
results. When it is dry, hard and free
from dust $3.50 pounds can be hauled
on broad tires with the draught re-
quired for 1000 pounds on narrow tires.
When the surface is covered with two
or three inches of dry, loose dust, the
results are unfavorable to the broad
tire.
In general. the better the road the
greater the advantage of the broad tire.

think of SO many hundred seemingly
desirable things. that capital melts

Colony Plan for Pigs.

For the farmer who is desirous of
raising the best grades of stock in the
most economical way it will be difficult
to find anything that will surpass the
colony plan arrangement. Or in other
words, several yards, and few pigs
in each yard. If one is aiming at guam
tity, or even fattening stock for mar
ket. it is very poor policy to put sew
eral litters together, especially if they
are of varying ages and sizes; the older
ones are almost sure to get more than
they need. and the youngest too lit
tie. Unless the herd is unusually small
and is made up of several small litters,
it will invariably pay to grade accord
ing to size and strength.-Agricultu
