DYNAMITE
Southwestern Express Badly

Rate Of 45 Miles an Hour

York, Pa, Nov 16.-The southwestern
express on the Northern Central railway
was wrecked last night by a charge of
dynamite placed under the track near the
Black Bridge, short distance north OF
York
The train was running at the rate OF i5

All escaped injury. A piece of rail two and
a half feet long was blown out OF the
track and three coaches were deraiIed
and drawn over the ties, distance of POO
feet before the train was brought to
stop.
The engine which drew the train had its
headlight blown off and the windows of
the cab were shattered. The trucks under
an express car and a day coach were bad

trucks were placed under the wrecked

0LNEYvILLE
PEOPLE
ELATED
Pleased at tho Report That
They Are Soon 10 Have New
Pusiofflcs Building.

The attaches of the olneyvilIe postoffics
were in high glee this morning, for ac-
cording To general rumor they are 10
have a new and up-to-date building which
is greatly needed, as the present quarters
are much too small for the amount OF
business done
The report is that a new building is to
be constructed after plans approved by
the department at Washington. The site
selected is at the junction OF Broadway
and Westminster streets, and the floor
space win be about four times as large
as that now available. The new structure
will be Of brick and there stories in
height
This will cause the removal of a lot Of
tumbled down buildings that have been
an eyesorc for years.
There are many who will not care 20
have the office moved from one end OF the
little difference 10 them. but when they
20 moro carriers and their routes will ex-
tend as far down town as Knight street,
they will undoubtedly feel fully repaid for
the extra walk
There are also those who feel highly
elated over the fact that Olneyville is
60 have a postoffice building without
much Of struggle and that, too. before
Providence secures one.
Superintendent Walter -. Harris was
seen by a representative OF The News this
morning I'm reference To the matter. but
he would not say whether the report was
true or not. His face indicated. however,
that there Is something i'm the rumor.

ture of it is the tramping given the
plowed ground, especially if in the
spring.
Few, unless they have tried it, re-
alize the injury done by tramping
plowed ground that is little wet,
which it often is in spring. The sketch
shows how to pillow out the land with
but little tramping and by making
half turns instead of whole ones at
what would be the point if plowed out
until done. BY blowing as per shape
of diagram, five extra rounds will
bring sides GA point. 1t is ten feet
or ten burrows wider at one end than
the other. You are, say, at the north
with a left hand plow. Drive south to
dotted line. Throw out, turn gee
and follow the dotted line. Then turn
gee and plow back, then east, then
south, and so on. BY throwing out
and turning and driving across on dot
ted lines you are turning on the I'M
plowed ground. Whenyo have plowed
off the five burrows on each side, your
land is the same width at each end and

PLAN FOR IiOTBED.

be sheltered from heavy winds, and
with full exposure to the sun. In
preparation for a bed the fresh
manure and long litter are collected
from stables and drawn together to
the location of the bed, where it is
placed in conical pile. AS the manure
is thus thrown together it is packed
down by treading on it, the treading
being repeated as the bed is raised a
few inches at time, until the pile is
finished off to point at the top.
After few days it may be noticed
that the pile is heating by seeing
steam rise from it. 1t is then custom
airy to handle over the manure, shak-
ing it out and again making it into a
pile and tramping it down as before.
In two or three days the signs of heat
ing will again be evident, and it is then
ready to be made into bed. The bed
should be made large enough to ex-
tend at least foot outside of the
frame at the sides and ends. In throw
ing the manure into shape as the pile
rises in height every few inches it

The bed is now ready for use, and

the management OF hotbed constant
reference must be made to a shaded

Summer Feeding from SilO.

I have found corn sllage very help
full in carrying the dairy COW through
a droughty July and August. Many
dairymen grow corn for this pur-
pose, cutting and feeding daily from
the field. After three years experi-
ence with the silo for summer feed
ing, I must say that prefer to grow
corn a year ahead, harvest it all in one
day, then when the busy harvest sea-
son is upon us we do not have to spend
one to two hours day cutting and
hauling from the field, but can feed
our dairy in ten minutes from the
silo. Results in milk yields have been
quite satisfactory. The June flush
cannot of course be maintained but
I have found silage with little grain
much better than larger amount
of grain alone. Milk yields are not
only better, but more cash is kept on
the farm.-C. G. Williams, in Farm and

THE FAMILY ORCHARD.
Apple Trees Had Best Be Planted in
the Spring and Afterward Culti-
waited with Care.

Something of my experience may
be of benefit to some one like myself
who is trying to have family or
chard and succeed in raising apple
trees. I have found that it does not
pay to set tree that is not thrifty
and vigorous, no matter what the age
may be. I have had good success
with four-year-old trees and also with
two and three year trees. In setting
the tree I dig the hole large enough
to accommodate all the roots, throw
in enough we'll pulverized soil to
cover the roots we'll, and then pour
in about one-half gallon of water to
settle the dirt firmly around the
roots and exclude all the air, then
fill up with soil. My trees never fail
to grow. I think spring the proper
time to plant. The greatest trouble
with me has been to keep the borers
from killing the trees. To prevent
this wrap them with paper, letting
it: extend an inch or two below the
surface of the ground. I do this
early in the spring after examining
tree to see that no borer remains in
there to be wrapped up for the sum-
mer. A young fruit tree must be
cultivated. Don't expect tree set
in sod to grow and bear fruit. If
left to shift for itself the result will
be stunted dwarf that will drop out
about the time it should begin o
bear if properly taken care of. Go
through the young orchard some time
during the winter and pick off and
burn all those little punches of leaves
seen hanging to the twigs. Each one
contains an egg that as soon as warm
weather comes, and the tree begins
to bud, will hatch into a worm that
will eat the leaves off your tree
faster than they can grow. Remem-
Der that in raising an orchard, as in
a great many other things, untiring
vigilance is the price of success.-J.
L. Smith, in Prairie Farmer.
