RAILROAD Crarip NufTance.
The importance Of the railroad
tramp nuisance is Indicated by the fact
that II IS made the subject Of the
leading article In the investors sup
plement' OF the Commercial ana
Financial Chronicle. an issue OF over
$50 pages. The estimate Of Josiah
Flynn that 10000 tramps steal rides
nightly and 10000 more are lettering
around railroad yards Is quoted, To-
gether With his estimate that each OF
the $4,000 tramps in the country trav-
els on an average of fifty nils a day,
which. for 100 days in the year, means
1900 600 miles OF free transportation
annually, which at two cents a mile
would represent paying travel OF sB,-
600 900 The free rides are. however,
OF slight Importance compared with
the extensive pilfering Of freight and
personal damage claims arising
throagh accidents TO tramps While
trcspassing. The Commercial and
Financial Chronicle advises railroads
to adopt the plan Of the Pennsylvania
road, which employs regular force Of
eighty-three men TO keep the cars and
yards clear OF the undesirable class.
The success Of the plan Is shown in
that the company pays $4,000 a year
less for It's police arrangements than
before It adopted It. The adoption Of
the plan by all important roads would
not only be Of benefit TO them but to
the country. It is well known that
most tramps are what they are partly
because of hatred Of work and partly
because they Ike to travel. The re-
moving OF easy facilities for transpor-
tation would reduce the number enor-
mously. The deserving poor may gst
tree transportation at any time.

Mnhnrafah of PaffaEa.

The Maharajah OF Patiala, noted as
a polo player. cricketer, soldier
and the chief Sikh prince Of India, is
dead. BE was very popular vita the
British because OF his loyalty ID the
empire and 10 the queen Among
the many rajahs Of India the dead
monarch ranked in the third class and
was entitled to a salute Of seventeen
guns. The two grades Of princes above
him are entitled to salutes of nineteen
and twcnty-one guns respectively.
Patiala's last noteworthy act was
his request to be allowed to so to
South Africa and to evince his loyalty
by personally fighting against the
Beers. He visited London in 1897 to
attend the jubilee of the queen and
at the same time attracted much at
tention by the splendor Of his dress
and the importance of his retinue.

A few years ago 1t was believed that
crimson clover was a plant valuable
for the North and for the South. After
several years of rather extended ex-
perience the giowers at the North,
both on our farms and at our expert
ment stations have passed upon it ad-
versely. 1t is a plant requiring eli
mate warmer than we can give it, and
it also requires conditions for its
growth such as seldom exist here.
Where red clover can be grown to
perfection it is impossible to put in
any kind Of a clover that will be more
profitable. We would, however, en-
courage experimentation with 1t even
in the North. 1t may be found OF
value in some localities far out Of its
natural latitude. In the South it has
been little understood, and has quite
often failed because the soil did not
contain the germs necessary to its
health. Where it has been sown on
fields and has repeatedly failed we
would suggest trying to inoculate the
soil with water that has been drawn
through soil taken from thrifty iS.ds
Of red clover

sumo time ago we saw in an Aus~s
tralian exchange a IettrI fse-a- a form
er resident Of the United States tell
ing about the practice Of killing trees
by the use of saltpeter. According to
his statement the saltpeter was in
serted in the tree while in the process
Of growth and while the leaves were
still performing their function. A hole
was bored in the tree and filed with
saltpeter and water, after which the
hole was plugged up. This saltpeter
was carried to all parts OF the tree.
Then another hole was bored and more
saltpeter inserted, which also was dis
tributed through the tree. After the
tree died it was set on fire and burned
up root and branch, the saltpeter max
ing it burn fercely. We do not know
how much Of fancy sketch this was,
and if any of our readers have had e2r
perience in the matter we would like
to hear from them.
Recently discussion has been going
on as to the power to destroy green
stumps in this way. Some men say
they bored holes in the stumps and
put in the saltpeter and water, only
to find afterward that the stump would
not burn. Some others say the effect
was to rot the stump. which could
afterward be dug out easily. Up to
date we have learned Of no way that
will deal with the stumps more effec-
lively than does the stump puller. AS
to the burning up of trees that have
been saturated with saltpeter, we thiuk
the time has gone past for that kind
Of operation. The time was when
trees in this country were simply in
the way and were destroyed in the
shortest way possible But now they
are worth saving II only for fire-wood.

A farmer can have neither q good
pasture nor a good meadow without
a good sod. But the kind Of sod he
needs on his pasture is very different
from the sod he needs in his meadow.
We see in a contemporary laudation
of bluegrass sod for the pasture. But
we know that blue grass sod is not the
ideal sod for pasture. 1t should be
a part of the sod but not the whole
thing. Blue grass makes good pas
ture at certain seasons, but during
much of the time is below its prime
The pasture sod should most certain
ly be formed Of variety of grasses,
so that grass will be making good
growth at all seasons when any grass
could grow
The sod for the meadow should of
course be made of one kind Of grass.
The meadow is supposed to be for the
production of hay and the hay crop is
gathered at one time. But in both
cases the sod should be well taken
care Of should be we'll manured and
not permitted to get thin. One Of the
great faults of our American farming
is neglect of the sod in both pastures
and meadows. In the sod lies much
Of the profit on the farm. We think if
our farmers would keep close ac-
count of the receipts from their sod
lands they would pay more attention
to them.

tive to orcharding are being worked
out there. We feel sure that any Illi-
nois grower Of fruits win be well re-
paid for his attendance at the meet
ing.
At this time Of year, when SO much
fruit is going into cold storage both
for long keeping and for transit. it is
necessary that much attention be
given to proper preparation Of the
fruit. We are. as yet. only at the
Threshold Of great things in this line.
AS yet we know little of what certain
kinds of fruits viii do under cold
storage conditions. 1t will ultimately
be found that different kinds Of fruits
require different temperatures to keep
them at the best. Packers Of -ruits
for cold storage have been frequently
disappointed at the manner in which
their fruits came out of storage, when
the varieties have been other than the
long-keeping sorts. Now the differ
ent companies and growers are expert
menting to learn the requisites for
each kind Of fruit
Reports say that the investigations
by the United States forestry commits
sion show the wooded area of the
country to be considerably greater
than supposed. It has been of late
years placed at about 26 per cent, but
that figure has now been raised to
81 per cent. The fact is that people
take little count of what is called
annual forest growth. This, taking the
country as a whole, means very
great increase every year. In the
older settled states forest fires are less
extensive now than before when the
wooded areas were contiguous. So it
happens that in some parts of the east,
notably in Vermont and in Connecti-
cut, the forests are as large and thrifty
as they were hundred years ago. II
this is so during the present time
when ave have applied little of forestry
science to the handling of the forests

to take care of our trees as we should

According to consular reports from
Germany the demand for American
dried apples, peaches and raspberries
is increasing. Consul General Mason
at Berlin says, however, that to hold
the market Americans must ship in
large quantities Of these things at
moderate prices. That is going to be
the trouble in the future as it has been
in the past-the selling Of our fruits
low enough to hold the foreign mar
kets. However. we have this to help
us-the Europeans are accustomed to
paying fairly high prices for their
fruit.

BURKE BROTHERS
New Shed a Model of Modern I'm
provements.

The latest improvements in the
granite manufacturing line are nov
being placed in all the sheds owned by
persons who are anxious to facilitate
business and do good work. Burke
Brothers is one of these firms. They
have now been working in their new
quarters for a week, which to the
visitor shows the enterprise of this
young firm.
The shed is 10 by 60 feet with &
20 ton travelling derrick running
overhead. At the further end the
visitor enters the engine room where
he finds 80 horse power motor run.
Ming to its full capacity, next to it
being an air compressor capable OF
supplying power for twenty tools.
Across the shed is the blacksmith
shop with everything new in it, open
and in plain view of the bosses. In
the center OF these two places can be
seen two polishing wheels also new,
each with four beds. Facing these
and running the entire length of the
shed one sees the cutters hard at
work.
There is sufficient room to place
three gangs Of men here. At the end
is a large place for the storing Of
rough stock. On the side of the shed
is the carpenters room, where the
latest and best style of circular saw is
constantly in motion. Coming out
from the shed you are conducted into
a very nice Office cut up into two
apartments, one for the use of the
draughtSman and the other used as a
general office. Here also can be seen
the push and advance possessed by
these young gentlemen, as everything
necessary for the running of modern
Office is herein found.
The shed sets up in the air about
seven feet on one side aud end, on the
other about three feet. 1t is the in
tention to bill in these openings by
boards covered with paper for the
winter and by substantially built
stone wall placed there later.
The members of the firm are Frank
IL. Burke and Antoine Burke, and for
enterprise they cannot be beaten by
many of our older manufacturers.

One Of those anonymous letters
without signature arrived at The
Sentinel office again yesterday
Our rule to not publish anonymous
communications was almost over
come in this behalf, evidently the
appeal Of a wife and mother, who
was being grossly injured through
the wiles of another woman. We
regarded our rule. however, and
did not publish. This wife states
that she has informed the city offi>
GERS of her injuries, and has asked
them to act, but they refuse. The
province Of the public press is not
to unearth private skeletons and
the women had far better seek a
remedy to punish recreant hus-
band. different from the one she
sought This advice is the judg>
ment of the editorial fraternity, as
an exposure could only result in
sorrow to all concerned.
