New York Central the other day, when en-
CINE No 94S, one of the new Moguls, hauled
out train No. IL, the Southwestern Limited,
made up of two mail cars, five passenger
coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars
in all. The total weight of the train was
1882, 900 pounds, or 9l6 tons, and the length
of the train, including the engine, was l,2ll
feet, or nearly quarter of a mile. This
engine made the running time of the train
between New York and Albany, l43 miles,
in three hours and fifteen minutes.

jackknife a slot is cut up from each
hole, into which the necks of the screws
fit, holding the nest firmly. 1t can be
detached instantly.
The height from the floor at which
nests should be placed must be deter
mined in part BY the size of the breed,
as Brahmas and Cochins need lower
nests than Leghorns and other lighter
breeds.
But this should be borne in mind,
that the nest should be as high as pos
sible, to make visit to it on the part
of fowls, except for business purposes,
not at all likely. If conveniently low
a hen will jump up into a nest and begin
to scratch in the hay as she would in

are often broken, and the egg eating

orts from Exports to
OPPOSED BY A DEMOCRAT.
Why an Eastern Journal Views Bry-
ans Candidacy with Dis
favor.

Our objection to Mr.. Bryan, since he
was first nominated for the presiden-
cy, has related and now relates to the
platform on which he stands and to
the principles he represents. The
Times, in the summer of 1896, de-
clared the platform which Mr.. Bryan's
friends then forced upon the demo-
cratic convention at Chicago to be a
rotten platform, heretical platform,
an undemocratic platform.
When has Mr.. Bryan repudiated or
renowned any plank of that odious,
non-democratic platform? The con-
vention at Kansas City, which de-
clared Mr.. Bryan the democratic can
didate for the presidency again this
year, desired to drop out of it's plat
form some of the detestable planks
which anti-democratic influences had
caused to be inserted in the Chicago
platform of 1896, but Mr.. Bryan COM
manded the reaffirmation of all the
heresies, and the special reaffirmation
of the most offensive and dangerous
of them all, 40 to IL
Mr. Bryan never, so far as we are
informed, cast a democratic vote in
his life In 1892 he voted for Weaver.
the greenback candidate, against
Grover Cleveland, and he owes his
prominence in public life to his asso-
citation with the greenback and popu-
list elements in Nebraska, and not to
the democrats of that state. Since he
became prominent, the democratic
party has almost ceased to exist in
Nebraska, and it is now a mere tail
to the populist kite. Should Mr.. Bry
ans ideas prevail the democratic par
ty in the whole nation will share the
fate of the democratic party in Ne

the fiower-stalks, which rise to the
height of one to three feet. All along
the main stem, except the lower part,
are the small spikes of flowers, ar
ranged quite close together. These
spikes are half an inch or less in
length and turned back upon the main
stem, as shown in the illustration. One
great advantage possessed by this
plant, and an advantage that is likely
to have great influence in its intro
duction as cultivated grass, is the
ease with which the seed may be gath
cred. In small quantities it can be
easily stripped off with the hands. If
cultivated the seed can be harvested
with as little difficulty as timothy.

Before saying that poultry on ahe

At a recent convention held in the
interest of poultry it was decided that
SIS per cent. is about an average hatch

The fowl that is "stunted" at any

David Hull, wealthy farmer of
Prescott, has been remarked to Mrs.
Manson, of Naperville, Ill, who 20
years ago was his wife. Nineteen
years ago Hull came west to seek
fortune. He labored hard for money
to send back east but failed. For
four years his wife was loyal, but at
last she applied for a divorce, which
was granted on the plea of desertion.
Mrs. Hull soon afterward married
man in Illinois named Manson, and
they lived happily together until two
years ago, when he died. Hull went
into the cattle business and made a
fortune.
