bolts. The length of the plank should
be about twice the distance between
the rows. The plank should have a
strap of iron at the bottom in front
for cutting edge and to prevent
wear.
The tongue should be fastened to the
plank at right angles, and securely
braced, says the Ohio Farmer. The
handles, which may be taken from an
old piow or walking cultivator, should
also be fastened and braced to the
plank. We leave each horse walk in

New Equipment for the Rock Island

New Equipment for the Rock Island
1t has been announced that to provide
for the increased volume of traffic on
Rock Island lines, large amount of new
equipment will be delivered, during the
month of March, on orders placed several
months ago. 1t is indicative of the in
dustrial and commercial prosperity of
Rock Island states that, even before the
receipt of the new equipment, it has been
found necessary to place another large or
der for delivery in the early summer.
The rolling stock which will be placed
in service this month includes 20 new
pattern passenger cars from the Pullman
shops, which embody so many comfort
contributing devices that they make
distinct advance in day passenger equip
ment. Ten of the cars will be IO-foot
chair cars, furnished with 81 twin reclln-
ing chairs, seating as many people. The
cars are equipped for lighting both by
Pintsch gas and electricity and are htted
with electric fans, for ventilation and
cooling
The other ten cars are 70-foot vesti-
buled coaches, with seating capacity for
so. The seats are upholstered in maroon
plush, otherwise the decorations are the
same as in the chair cars. All the cars
have very large double plate, glass win
dows and are equipped with Pullman
standard six-wheel trucks.
An order is also in for over 1000 freight
cars of various kinds.
The Rock Island will also receive dur
ing March e5 new locomotives OF various
kinds, including Pacific type passenger,
10 Atlantic type passenger, 10 freight and
20 switch engines. An additional order
for 90 locomotives will be placed in the
near future, for delivery in the summer,
This new equipment, which is to be
added to from time to time, places the
Rock Island in the front rank among
western railroads in the matter of trans
portation facilities. The foresight mani
tested in thus meeting, and adequately
providing for, the exigencies of increased
traffic, is characteristic of the progressive
policy of the Rock Island management
