The Introducing of Varieties.
COntinued from laSf peek

continued from last Ueek
"The experimental station is also APP
pealing to nurserymen to furnish trees
OF these varieties. The trees, therefore,
will be furnished the experimenter free
of charge if only he pays the transporta-
ton from the nursery to his own place,
which cost will be very slight.
"The experiment station will expect
to report on the orchard from year to
year and have the privilege of inspecting
it. The person who volunteers to plant
il will agree that the plantation will re-
ceive good care the same as his other
good plantations receive. All proceeds
of the orchard belong of course TO the
man who owns it. The experiment sta
ton will publish lists of these volunteer
orchards from time to time and as fast
as they come into bearing will publish
the results of the tests. 1t is hoped that
these orchards will be placed in promi-
nent positions along roadsides where
they may be SEEN The experiment sta
ton will be glad to furnish a sign to be
put up in front of these orchards saying
that they are volunteer orchards in
charge of the Cornell experiment sta
ton.
The results of these tests, as the or
chards come into bearing, will be circu-
lated through the experiment station
publications. However, one of the chief
values will be in setting an example to
the people in the neighborhood. The
information will get to the public
through discussions in horticultural
societies, before oranges, at the county
fair and by other means.
The kind of varieties that will be set
in these orchards will be determined by
those that the nurserymen can furnish
and by mutual arrangement between
the experiment station and the expert
menter. 1t is desired that only such
varieties be set as excel Baldwin and
Ben Davis in quality, but which promise
at the same time to have merits as mar
ket sorts. If there are any varieties
that can suppant the indifferent old
sorts, thereby contributing to progress
in fruit growing, we ought to find out
what they are. 1t is scarcely conceivable
that the experimenter can lose money
on such an orchard even if the varieties
do not turn out TO be the best; but we
hope that volunteers will take up this
work for the sake of doing something
for the next generation and for the
state.

had sham lights with mud
balls and willow wands; we
played lacrosse, made war
upon bees, shot winter ar

upon the ribs Of animals and
buffalo robes.

St. Paul IS Second to Chicago
as Great Railroad Center

Whlle-C Chicago is the largest city in the
United States, and is also the grea test
railroad center, and as st. Paul makes
no pretensions to great size. the favor
able showing made in the comparison
will appear the more remarkable.
Though many of the large cities OF
the United States have a larger num-
Der of railroads than has st. Paul, vet
for mileage and the extent of the terri
tory tapped by direct connections this
city, will stand comparison with any.
The cities between Chicago and New
tons; and even New York, though
having a large number of compare
lively short roads, has not a greater
tributary mileage than Chicago. The
cities of the Central states and of the
Mississippi valley have the Southwest
ern roads. but they are counterbalanced
by st. Paups two great North Pacific
transcontinental lines.
The following tables show the mile
age of the respective roads having ter
mlnals in the two cities. In the first is
included the St. Paul roads, and in the
second the fifteen Chicago roads that
do not touch st. Paul. For the sake of
convenience the NOrthWesterns total is
made to include the Omaha and it's
other branch lines. The mileage of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis is embraced in
that Of the Illinois Central; and the
mileage of the other consolidated COM
panies is represented by one figure.
The mileage of the st. Paul systems,
as taken from records believed to be
substantially authentic, is as follows:
