BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
About sixty newspaper men, representing
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take trip on the Wyoming di-
vision, The Overland Route" for the pur-
pose of viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line.
The train was made up. of two private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, a dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
glnes, with an observation car-constructed
on the same plan as trolley car-ahead of
the engine.
One hundred and fifty-eight and four
tenths miles OF new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.47
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 45. to 97.6S feet to the mile to maxi
mum of 43.3 feet, and curves from 6 to de-
grees, while a great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into a
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet
Through solid granite, an underground river
encountered and overcome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged
in the work for nearly year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi-
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
duce the grades and shorten the distance.
This reduction is the result of straighten-
ing unnecessary curves, and the construc-
ton of several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the same, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-thirds. The SUI
periority of these changes is apparent to the
practical railroad engineer. 1t is also APP
parent to the operating department in the
reduction in operating expenses, and to the
traveller in the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at a grade of less than one-half (433 feet)
over mountain attitudes
From constructive standpoint the line
is remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
entertainments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The construc-
ton Of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
of 900 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excava-
tion) has been solid rock, of something over
100000 cubic yards per mile
Too much credit for this work cannot be
given to Horace G. Burt, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants.
The excursion was replete with many in
teresting incidents, and the splendid hos
pitality of the Union Pacific officials was
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many. ways, particu-
larly in a resolution OF thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
Lomax, and Messrs barlow, Park and
Griffin

in the frame will hold the door shut
when desired, and post CD with a
row of holes at varying heights in

door to swing open only SO far. This
will allow the passage of only the little
pigs if it is wished to keep the larger
hogs in the house. The heavy two by

OUR LITTLE GENERAL.

See our little general pacing
Up and down the parlor floor,
Every danger proudly facing,
In his panoply of war;
Plume and banner waving DER him,
Sword and bugle shining bright,
Drum to beat the charge before him
When he marches TO the fight!
Oh our laddes eyes are blue
And his heart is stout and true,
And his little flag is calamity unfurled;
You may search both east and west,
But our darling is the best.
And the bravest little general in the
world!
When he stormed the three-legged table
With his nursery brigade,
Not a single foe was able
To withstand the fuslade;
For our general gaily shouted:
ITO the breach my men, and win!"
And the enemy was routed
Ere the conflict could begin.
Oh! our laddies curls are gold,
And his laugh is blithe and bold.
As he leads ms little troops with flag
unfurled:
You may search both east and west.
He's the bravest and the best
And the dearest little general in the
world!
When our little lad IS listed
For the fierce and bitter strife,
With the wrongs to be resisted
On the battlefield of life,
There's a Leader who will guide him
Through the perils Of the day,
And will ever stand beside him
Till he conquers in the fray.
Oh! the battle may be long,
And the foemen may be strong,
But the laddie's colors never Will be
furled
You may search both east and west,
But our soldier-lad's the best
And the dearest little general in the
world!

SUNSHINE FOR HOGS.
structiOn and Inside Arrange
meBt of Pens.

Why is il that the nature of the hog
has been so misunderstood? He does
not thrive on filth, his pen and his food
should be clean, and there is one other
point that has been too often lost sight
of, his pen should not be dark and dis
NAL. The hog likes sunlight. The
Maryland experiment station says
that the hog is an animal to which sun
shine is just as essential as it is TO the
corn plant. Neither corn nor pork can
be successfully produced without
plenty of sunshine. In this latitude
and farther north this sunshine in win
ter will have to be brought into the
pens through glass, but farther south,
under normal conditions, it is only nee
essary to face the pen to the south;
allow the suns rays TO reach the back
of the pen on the beds and give good
shelter and protect from the north and
west winds. In constructing the hog
pen for the station, the following
points have been observed: (1) 1t is
faced to the south so as to permit the
rays of the sun to shine upon the beds
of the pigs at the extreme rear end of
the pen in the winter season and also
to give shade in that portion in sum-
mer. (2) The lattice construction be-
tween the pens at the ends and rear
admit of. free circulation of air in
warm Weather. (3) The location of
the manure pit in the center and below
the level of the sleeping and feeding
floors, with all the drainage below it,
aids materially, in maintaining a prop
er sanitary condition. ca Swinging
gates close the pigs into their beds
while the manure is being loaded, (5)
The manure pit is concreted, which en-
ables the saving of all liquid increment
which, with the pig, amounts to 81 per
cent. of the total manure value. (6)
Feed bins are placed in front of each
pen, which facilitates feeding and en-
ables keeping different feeds for each
pen if desired. Some of these require
ments may seem pretty nice for swine
according to the old ideas, but they are
correct and important to success in
raising the best pork.

Food Affects the Wool.

Deep pastures or lowlands are not
conducive to the health of sheep, as
they prefer upland pastures and a
great variety of grasses. 1t is known
that the quality of the food and the
pasture mas more influence on the
wool than does climate. Fat sheep
produce heavier and coarser fieeces
than do those that are poorer in flesh.
That the food is an important factor
in affecting the quality of wool is
shown by the fact that when fine wool
sheep have been taken from the east
10 the west the fineness is not always
retained, although the sheep viii
gradually become larger and the
heeces heavier.

The First Hundred Pounds.

The first pound, or 100 pounds, of
mutton, beef or pork is where the
profit is made, as the young animals
grow and gain rapidly. The greater
the weight an animal can be made TO
attain in the shortest period of time
the smaller the cost per pound proper
tionately. 1t requires no more labor
10 feed and care for steer weighing
1000 pounds than for one weighing
much less. The cost of production
does not depend solely upon the
amount of food consumed, but upon
the :oo6, shelter and labor.

CLEARLY WOMAN.
Enormously Thinks BY Securing Her
Scalp That She Cures Dandruff.

Clearly woman has an erroneous idea that
by securing the scalp, which removes the
dandruff scales, she is curing the dandruff.
She may wash her scalp every day, and yet
have dandruff her life long, accompanied by
falling hair, too. The only way in the world
to cure dandruff is to kill the dandruff germ,
and there is no hair preparation that will
do that but Newbro's Herpicide. Herpicide
killing the dandruff germ, leaves the hair
free to grow as healthy Nature intended.
Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.
Kill the dandruff germ with Herpicide.

opinion of the ruin that will come dpon
Kansas as a result OF the present dry
spell. The damage to hay and corn has
been serious, but the deficiency will be
nearly made up by the great crops OF

raised.
Mr.. Coburn states that there are over

in the state, which has not been materl-

that of paying off loan by easy monthly
payments. The contract is definite and GER
tain. BY its terms it cannot run beyond the
time fixed, but stock participates in earning
and may mature sooner. 1t is not a loan
upon the building loan plan as usually pre-
sented by associations. It. differs from
such a plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
No commission charged the borrower.
The maximum mum Der of payments re-
qulred to pay off is stipulated in the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan is
an advantage to the borrower. The debt
can be paid off before maturity without PEN

out of debt. Straight loans for term of
years are too often renewed.
