The low rate long haul makes it pos
sible for the corn grower In Nebraska
to ship his corn to the gulf or the At
lantic seacoast at profit, but 1t also
makes 1t possible for all his steers and
hogs TO go to Chicago for slaughter and
so prevents the building up of home
packing houses and factories. 1t is not
easy to so fix freight rate that the
farmer can catch things both coming
and going.

We have several inquiries as to the
value OF redtop as a forage plant. In
n general way we regard redtop as
one of the least valuable of our
grasses, and it quite often becomes Il
nuisance by pre-empting fields where
better grasses should grow. Still, it
has its uses. If the soil of a meadow is
sour and wet, so much so that timothy,
clover and blue grass will not do well,
redtop c,.n be used to advantage. I'm
der such conditions it will make a fair
ly good pasture. If cut for hay it must
be cut early, before it becomes woody,
to have the stock relish 1t. In the mat
ter OF yield and palatability it is every
way inferior to our other tame grasses.
1t will be the part Of wisdom for the
owners OF automobiles to carefully
study the relations which exist be-
tween the man with the machine and
the farmer. There now exists most
implacable hostility on the part Of the
farmer toward the machine, which Is
finding expression in every conceivable
manner-ln rigid and hampering legis-
latlon, in obstructions placed on the
highways and in attempts to run into
and injure the machines whenever 1t
can be done with safety. This antago-
nism has its origin largely in the reck-
lessness of a few chauffeurs, the crazy
scorchers who race the highways over
at the limit of their speed and are ut
terly Indifferent to the rights of all
other lawful users Of the highway. The
increasing number Of the machines will
in time accustom the horses of the
country districts to them, so that one
serious difficulty Of the present time
will be obviated, but the problem Of the
reckless driver remains and If not dealt
with by the machine men as an organi-
zation will be most effectually settled
by drastic legislation.

A good way to subdue a refractory
piece Of land is to give 1t deep plow-
Ing in the spring and then a double
disking once a month during the sum
mer. A field so treated will make an
admirable seed bed for almost any sort
of a crop the next year, particularly
hoed crops, such as onions or beets,
Strawberries and garden truck of any
sort. Such treatment effectually dis
poses of all the weeds.

Official Denials are Rather
EquivOcal, ii Seems.
Nashville Men Are Confident II is a
Go--Something Definite Is
Expected.
OTHER RAILROAD MATTERS.

Neither definite denial nor certain
confirmation has been received of the
reported lease of the Tennessee Cen
trail railroad to the Illinois Central
and the Southern railways.
A New York dispatch says:
New York, Sept. i1.-Represen
tives of the Illinois Central and the
Southern railway companies denied
the report that the Tennessee Cen
trail railroad is to be acquired by
them and operated Jointly under
ninoty-nine year lease. Il is stated
that no negotiations are pending for
The Tennessee Central. st. Louis and
Nashville capitalists are largely in
Ieftsted in the property, which oc-
cuples an advantageous position in
relation TO other roads. Some of
these acquainted with the situation
express the opinion that ultimately IL
may be acquired by one of the large
systems. but no deal is under way at
present.
The people of Nashville, however.
seem to credit the rumor. The Ban
ner says:
All indications still point to the
absorption of the Tennessee Central
by the Illinois Central and the South
ern railways. General Manager G. A.
Clark, who has been in st. Louis for
the last fortnight has returned. but.
though Banner reporter called TO
see him several times, he was not in
his Office.
From the amount OF real estate
being bought for the railroad along
their present belt line and near thei,
present terminals, if from nothing
else, every indicat on points TO some
road with more money back of il than
the Tennessee Central taking a hand
tho deal. Several tracts along
Harrison street were on Friday trans
ierred to l.. II. Davis. giving a loca
ton very favorable for the establish
ment of terminal facilities. and
though It is not known just for whom
MI Davis is buying the land, there is
every probability that It is for rail
road use.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says in its
railroad column that It has authentic
adviccs, both from St Louis and Nash
vile, that the deal has taken effect.
and predicts that trains over the
Southern and the Illinois Cent a
will be running into Nashville by
December /.

TO KEEP DOWN DISEASE.

and for your efforts in behalf of the suf-
fering patient, who, very often, is un-
able to help himself
1t has often occurred to me that If
each time Il house is vacated 1t could
be thoroughly disinfected many cases
of sickness might be prevented. By dis
injecting every house when vacated, no
stigma could fall on any one.
There Is no doubt thai the disinfec tion
could be done effectively by fne Board
Of Health at very small relative cost
| say relative, for when the lives of
our people are concerned, the almighty
dollar should take q second place
Another disease preventing sugges-
ton Is to keep the streets continually
sprinkled- As is we'll known, there is
hardly a greater DISEASE breeder than
this everlasting stirring up Of the dust
OF the streets and sidewalks by the sys-
TEN OF dry sweeping.
Every day, just at the time when most
people are their WY to their work.
clouds of dust have 10 be encountered
caused either by the street cleaners or
by the sweeping OF sidewalks. In most
cases this sweeping is done dry.
When il is considered that very large
percentages of the street sweepers of
our cities are afflicted with the great
white plague, one can easily understand
that the continual breathing CT street
dust is anything but healthy 1t is
rewarded. and that soon Washington
will no longer stand in the uncnvia BILE
