The first date marks the time when

that two year the United state govern

$50, 500 60. If this opportune payment
had not been received, the treasury
revenue balance on January, 1898,
when the Democrats relinquished con

management was not felt. however
until later, for during their two years
of power no public improvement was
made, nor were repairs even kept up

FIRST DINING cAR MADE.
II Was Called the ''Deimonieoh and
Was crudeIy Equipped.

IA The first dining car was called the
Defmoniee. Of course It must have
assembled our present beautiful saina
ing cars but slightly Built by the
Pullman Company at its pioneer works
in Chicago, it was put into service in
/ 1866, and after short but distinguish
ed career descended to the position Of
boarding car for constructors along
the line, but it did not come to this.
Of course. until great Improvements
had been made upon it in subsequent
models. 1t was built in two sections
with kitchen in the middle. One
end was reserved for ladies, and here
no smoking was allowed, but the other
end was buffet arrangement, and got
itself nicknamed the beer garden"
before it had been in service many
months.
The floor of the car was unexpected,
and the seats were ordinary low
backed coach seats. upholstered in
leather. The car was finished in wal
nut, but the ceiling was covered with
oilcloth. The provision supply store
room and refrigerator were under the
center of the car, and access could
be had TO them only by means of a
little brass ladder suspended from the
side of the car 1t was rather a pre-
carious adventure for dining-car en-
ployes to make a visit to the larder
while the train was in motion, mas
much as there were great many
covered bridges and other obstruc-
tions along the line in those days
which would undoubtedly have swept
them into eternity had they not timed
their trips down the little brass lad
der strictly according to schedule. The
kitchen was supplied with an ordi-
nary soft coal range. Still in spite OF
all these peculiar disadvantages, the
bill of fare for that time was consid-
cred most elaborate.
The most interesting thing, however,
about the Delmonico was the way in
which the employees kept tab on the.
receipts. When a passenger entered
the car the conductor handed the
waiter who was to take care of him q
small pasteboard ticket which the
waiter straightway deposited in pad
locked tin box in the kitchen AT the
terminal station the ticket agent came
into the car unlocked the tin box,
and with due ceremony counted up
the house" The conductor and other
employees, while not being required
to give an exact account, were expect.
ed to make an approximate check in
accordance with the number Of pas
sengers served
Talk about your graft Are there
any opportunities like that nowadays?

Several instances are recorded of
moose having been captured when
young and gradually domesticated but
never until this fall has a full grown
moose walked deliberately out of the
woods aud into the company of men,
and continued to live contentedly in
civilized surroundings, the docile and
interesting pet of women and children.
This happened at Moosehead Lake,
and Fiametta, the pet COW moose, is a
fayorite al through that region.
Fiametta first made ihe acqlaint-

club members got M early, and upon

plump cow moose advancing to the
door Of the hotel.
At the hotel the moose was vel

Hard Lines For INC pgiso-ypi.t.

A stringent law against bachelors
has recently been promulgated in one
Of tile States forming the Argentine
Republic.
A man is manageable In Argentina
when he is twenty. If from that date,
and tin he passes his thirtietll BIRTH
day, he wishes to remain single, he
must pay IS month to the State For
the next five years the tax increases
100 per cent.
Between thirty-fye and fifty the
bachelor is mulcted to the tune OF $50
a month From his fiftfeth year to
seventy-fvc $50 a month is the tax;
but having reached the seyenty-fGtn
year, relief finally comes. and the tax
becomes nominal, being reduced to $50
year. After eighty a man can re-
main single without paying anything.
+ There III rslasssfsy, W
wldowers, who are given three years
in which to mourn and pick d sue
cessor
A man who can prove that he has
proposed and been refused three times
in one year is also considered to have
earned immunity from taxation. II is
said that the law works like charm.

We are only Just coming to under
stand the value of photography on the
farm. For the young folks it has the
highest interest, affording them a way
of passing the time when other means
Of recreation fail 1t is by no means
wasted time and money to develop
the artistic talent of the boys and
girls in This way. Then, too, they are
able to get representation Of the farm
buildings, the stock and the scenery
about the old home which win prove
Of marked value in days to come
But photography has still another
form of worth to the farmer A man
near our home asked through the tele-
phone the other day il we could spare
one of our boys long enough to get The
picture of some choice pigs he had for
sale. A man in a distant part of the
State wanted to buy one Of them. but
desired to see the markings before he
decided whether TO buy or moi. The
owner wished to send such picture.
Here is opened up a new value for the
camera. If we have a cow or a horse
or calf or lamb to sell, provided it
be Of some desirable stock, we may
advertise it in the farm paper and fol
low the advertisement up with pictures
of the animal we wish to dispose Of.
Such q picture might even be the
means Of selling still other stock than
that particularly offered. for such adj
refreshments pass through many hands
and grow in value the further they go
Good outfits may now be procured at
reasonable figures, and we look for
a constantly increasing use Of them rs

So far as known. the fungus which
causes g common trust or late
blight ana ROT OF potatoes, lives over
winter only in the potato tlbers. It is,
of course. possible that it may exist in
a resting stage in the soil or the
bIighted vines or decayed tubers.
bet most persistent search has
failed to discover this. III this BELIEF
is correct, and The only place where
the fungus lives through the winter is
in GnS infected tubers, then the devel-
opment OF The disease each succeeding
year is a direct result of the planting
or some such infected tubers. All OBJ
servations are in harmony with this
explanation.
The unusually early and general de-
velopment of the fungus the pnst sum
mer is thus explained, for there was
enough of the ROT i'll the autumn Of 1901
te cause the widespread infection OF
the tubers from which the seed OF 1902
was selected. 1t follows that the stin
worse Development OF rot this season is
prophetic Of a disastrous occurrence of
this disease in 1908. providing soil
and weather conditions next summer
are all favorable.
The practical question is. what can
be doneaa lessen this danger? There
is no method known Of disinfecting
such diseased seed. Surface washes
are useless, for the fungus is safely
housed in The depths of the living po-
tato tissue and any known means Of
killing the fungus by chemicals viii
kill the potato also.
1t has been suggested that heating
the seed potatoes six hours or longer
at los degrees f., or thereabouts, dry
heat, would Kill the fungus without in
Jury to the potato This has not bVen
fully demonstrated and would not
prove practical 10 most farmers in case
it is reliable.
The Vermont Experiment Station au-
thorlties can only recommend two
things as practical The first is that
unusual pains be taken this autumn to
secure and preserve for next years
seed purposes. early-planted potatoes
grown on light, welldrained soil, which
escaped the blight, or else those from
fields so well sprayed as 10 be pro-

It is 4 common practice for those
who wish to test the question Of
whether it is profitable to use com
merciai fertilizer or not, to try the ex-
pertinent Of planting or sowing equal

fertilizer and the other without We
have seen nlansa field f wheat whss'e
the fertilizer had bean sown with Tie
seed going one zglssbad been
shirt off in going the other thus
leaving two strips OF equal width
one with and the other without the
fertilizer In almost, if not quite. ev-
cry case there was gain enough to
show a profit after paying the cost
Of the fertilizer. This test suited the
fertilizer manufacturers and their.
agents very well II looked like 4 fair
trial, and usually resulted in an IN
creased demand for the fertilizer an
other season But it was not fair
test for all that. We will assume that
