The marginal gradient is AS per

arranged as to avoid IL decrease of

framework owe the river is supported
by buttress piers of ironwork inclined
toward each other; but in the public
highways the structure is supported
by vertical iron columns, which re-
quire no more space than lantern
posts.
The cars are suspended on two
rotary bogies, 26.2 feet in length.
Each truck. or boyle. has two aXles,
between which an electromotor of SO
horse power, at 500 volts, is arranged.
The frame surrounds the rail carrier
in such u manner that the wheels cam
rot rise from the rails and the cars
cannot slip off in ease a fitting breaks
or there is some other mishap. The
current is fed by a contact shoe from

The speed will be regulated in the

The travelling speed is supposed to be

ten to fifteen seconds to start: so
that. in spite of the IS stations of
the road, an average speed of 1894
miles per hour will be maintained.
Each car holds so passengers and is
divided into first and ~second-class n
smoking compartments. The number
of cars in the makeup OF Il train is
not limited; but at first each train
will consist of one or two cars only.
although the station platforms are so
arranged that a four-car train can re-
ceive and unload passengers. The
speed of the trains is not dependent
on the number Of ears, as each a has
it's own motor.
The employment of an automatic
block system, by which the car itself
regulates the signals. allows the trains
TO start in either direction at inter-
walls of two minutes. Braking is eff
fected in four different ways: 1. BY a
Westinghouse pneumatic brake, OPP
Grated by the motorman. 2. by a

H MANAGEMENT.
Seeding Down Ia Glover II n Practice
That Will Pay u Profit on
Expense Incurred.

When the character and lay of the
land will admit, IL very good plan of
management is to keep in cultivation
during the first four or five years aft.
CT setting out and then, after the trees
begin ia bcar we'll and are reasonably
well established, tC seed down tn
clover. On account of the benefit to
the soil in various ways, it will pay to
use clover in seeding down in prefer
nee to grass.
But before seeding down good
drainage should be provided. as trees
cannot be kept healthy if water is al
lowed to stand around the roots.
a very good plan is to throw the
dirt to the trees. making the burrows
should be taken in running out the
burrows TO avoid washing. Then the
soil can be prepared in good filth, har-
rowing and dragging in order to Sc
cure a smooth surface, before sowing
the seed. a little care in properly
preparing the ground before seeding
will aid materially in securing better
results.
Unless heavy applications of manure
are given the average farm soil cannot
grow other crops and a crop OF fruit
at the same time, and while cultiya-
ton is beneficial while the trees are
growing, whenever they to
bear they should have the soil to them
selves. The growing of clover can be
made beneficial to the soil rather than
detrimental, hence it is a good PLAZA to
SOW clover and either use Il hog ras-
ture or allow it to grow. mature and
fall down and rot on the land. \ good
growth of clover will keep down the
weeds and add to the fertility of the
soil.
Early in the spring is a good time to
sow clover, and if the orchard is to be
seeded down it will pay to arrange so
as to do the work in good season.--N.

The Russians are working with fe-
verish activity to finish the road from
Moukden to Nladivostock, and it is
thought that Russia's two great
strategic points in the far east-Port

is said to have garrisons variously
estimated at from 10000 to 100000
men, will be connected by rail not
later than August of this year.
Trains are now running over the ST.
berian railway as far east as STREET

river route must be used to arrive at

ton of the railway runs to Nladivos-
took. thus completing for the present
the great enterprise begun in 1891 and
establishing uninterrupted steam COM

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-05-10

There is no breed that produces uni.
form eggs. The Cochins, Brahmas and
Langshans are claimed to lay dark
eggs. but there will always be some
individuals that will lay eggs of both
light and dark color. If you hatch n
dozen pullets with the same sire)
from a hen that lays very dark eggs
you will not find two of them to lay
z g of the same shade. although they
will be full sisters. Take a hundred
hens of one breed, compare the eggs
from each. and there will be at least
come difference-no two ~alike-vary-
