THE CORN TRAIN.
Uncle Sam's Way of Educating West
 ern Farmers.

From the New York World.
 One of the most remarkable agricultural experiments of modern times has just been brought to successful close in Iowa. Under the auspices fthe depart ment of agriculture a train carrying pro- fessors and lecturers from the State agri- cultural college was sent over the differ ent railroads of the state in such d way that every farmer, no matter where he lived, had opportunity of reaching it without any expense or loss of time to himself
 The principal crop of Iowa is corn, some nine million acres of the best land being devoaed to it's production, the annual yield being more than three hundred million bushels. For the past few years however, the yield has not reached this amount, and it was discovered by Pro lessor Holden of Ames college on a care ful examination of many fields of corn. that this was due to deficient planting and defective seed.
 Having come to this conclusion, he con- ferred with the principal railroad officials of the state. as well as with the larger shippers and it was decided that what was needed was to get in close touch with the farmers and show them by practical work just where they failed to get the best results For this purpose what was called the Corn Train" was made up consisting of three commodious passen-

Within the next three months Birming- ham will have the most complete system of trunk telephone cables connecting it's various suburban exchanges of any city in the United States. In fact when the Southern Bell Telephone company finishes It's present trunk cable system every suburban exchange In the vicinity of Bir- mingham will have direct connection with every other suburban exchange. as well as direct connection with the main ex- change in Birmingham
 In order to accomplish this the Bell company has laid or stretched about thirtysix miles of cable which Is equii- lent to about 4000 miles of wire, as the cables will carry an average of over 1000 wires each.
 The cable system Is rapidly being com- pleted. Linemen and workmen are at work on it in every direction from Bir- mingham and the next sixty days will see the actual work of construction com pleted and few days more will see the various exchanges connected up and the system in hello" order.
 At present every suburban exchange has to get connection with any other subur- ban exchange through the main switch

board in Birmingham. This necessitates the handling of the connection through an intermediate which naturally increases the liability of mistakes being made and also takes much longer time.
 Under the cable system each branch ex- change will work direct with every other one and the intermediate exchange will be cut out. This greatly facilitates the connecti< <ns, decreases the liability of er- TOT in securing numbers and also in- ereases the efficiency of the service.
 One of these trunk cables commences at Woodlawn and runs to Lomb avenue in West End. a distance of eight miles. It Is a 200-pair cable. or in other words carries 400 wires. This cable runs under ground from Spring street in Avondale to Birmingham.
 A 100-wire cable connects Ensley direct with East Lake running north of North Birmingham. A similar cable connects Ensley and North Birmingham directly. one connects Ensley and Woodlawn, one connects Ensley and Bessemer and one connects Ensley and Birmingham
 Similarly a cable connects West End and East Lake, West End and Birmingham, West End and Woodlawn, West End and North Birmingham, and West End and Ensley
 North Birmingham has direct cable con nections with East Lake, Woodlawn, Bir- mngham, West End and Ensley. Wood- lawn has direct cables connecting 1t with East Lake, Birmingham, North Birming-

water from his mouth and nostrils like
 a young whale, to the amusement of his felow-comrades
 It was then that Comrade Talifero let
 volley of words escape his lips that he
 never learned in the Sunday school room. Then he raised the butt of his gun over his head, and went plunging after the
 soldier like a wounded and enraged DOT poise. But the soldier tall and slen-
 der and swift on foot, and with long leaps and plunges, he soon dstanced him
 and made good his escape to Comrade Talifero's chagrin.
 By the time we got across the river a perfect blizzard was coming straight
 down the stream, and by the time we
 reached the top of the river bank, our
 upper clothing had frozen stiff, and as the water dripped downward it froze into icicles. Comrade J. L. Darby, remarked
 that little did he believe when he left
 home to fight for his beloved southland that he would ever be transformed into a sea horse, and be decorated with frlls
 and cicles. As we were marched along,
 our upper clothing would pop and crack, and the soldiers would guy and jolly each
 other about belonging to the F. F. V.'s
 of Virginia, and of being diked out in ! silk.
 In a short time we came to fence where we halted and ordered to stack arms and break ranks. Then the soldiers made rail fence fires and thawed the
 icicles off their upper clothing so that
 we could put on our trousers. We were
 on elevated ground, and the surrounding
 country was open fields, with here and
 there a large palatial home. From that
 day to this, I have never heard of a
 soldier boosting of being member of the F. F. V.'s. How sad, that such an aris-
 tocratic sobriquet should have been left
 out upon the bleak hills near the river Shenandoah, with not even rough slab to mark it's last resting place!
 | Being told that the best of friends must | part we were ordered to get ready to
 move on to Fredericksburg, that General Burnside wanted to see us. When we arrived at that historic town, we went into camp on the heights opposite Fall mouth, and we could see the Federal tents stretched out In lines all along the heights above and near Fredericksburg. Night beginning to set in, it began to

go and take charge of the picket line on the banks of the Rappehannock river. Our commissary wagons had not come into camp before our leaving. so we had nothing to eat and as the Federal sharp shooters were just across the river, every time they got glimpse of man. they would fire at him. Consequently we could have no fires so we had to secrete ourselves behind trees or large rocks on the banks of the river and mark time with our feet all night to keep from freez- ing. The picket firing was continued all night by both sides.
 Morning coming on, it was still bitter cold and nothing in sight to eat. About ? o'clock in the afternoon an orderly ser- geant came dodging along from tree to tree, along our picket line and he came to a man, he dished him out two spoonfuls of flour from his haver-sack. Then we crawled behind a large rock nearby and put our flour on an oak leaf. Then we poured little water out of our canteens on the flour and stirred it with our fingers until it would stick together. so that we could wrap 1t around a ram rod and hold it to the fire that we had kindled behind the rock. As soon as we got it hot we swallowed it down. and o, how good! But it was not enough to sat- isfy our hunger, so one of the soldiers on picket Bett Peterson by name. from Montgomery, Ala, hailed the tederal pickets and told them that we had just drawn our rations of tobacco and would like to exchange 1t for coffee. They an- swered back, all right. The firing then ceased and an agreement was made that we meet them out in the middle of the river upon a large, fiat rock. We could get to this rock without getting wet, by jumping from rock to rock that stood above the water When we all got there the Federal soldiers stacked their coffee in a pile. and awaited our men to put down their tobacco.
 But the truth of 1t was that we had no tobacco. By agreement as we started out into the river Peterson had taken my pistol and gone down the river through the brush unobserved by the Federals, and he crossed over on the shoals and came up on the opposite side through the undergrowth in their rear. Then he be- gan to fire off the pistol and we began to veil Jackson, Jackson" The Federals broke back leaping from rock to rock and we gathered up the coffee and hur- ried back to our post. Bett Peterson recrossed the river and got back to his post safely.
 Then the Federals began firing more rapidly than ever. General Burnside, the Federal commander, thinking that we were charging his lines, sent one of his staff officers to learn the cause of the firing After learning the cause, he re- ported back to General Burnside what had happened and it enraged him to such a pitch that he resolved to recapture the coffee So he issued orders to the army to get ready to move across the river.
 Soon we heard the sound of bugles and

 The Pratt City exchange will work on the Ensley trunk cables Bessemer is too far away to be connected up with the cable system, as cables do not work eff fectually at such distance. Several score open wires work to Bessemer, how ever, and that service Is to be improved immediately. In fact the linemen are working on it at present.
 The cable system covers 240 square miles. Over this entire territory there is no extra charge for messages. A person can use a telephone connected with any of these transportation of messages and the tolls all of these exchanges are treated as one and no additional toll Is charged
 The telephone system in Birmingham covers a greater territory than that of any city in the country of four times the size of Birmingham. Atlanta's system is not nearly as large, although Atlanta is much larger in population. Richmond is supposed to be twice the size of Bir- mingham in population, but its system covers about one-fourth the territory coy cred by the local exchange.
 There are over 6000 telephones connected with the Birmingham exchange through the main exchange and the suburban ex- changes. All of these are treated as be- longing to one exchange when the com

ger cars for audience rooms and two pri- vate cars for the accommodation of the lecturing forces.
 The schedule of the train was widely advertised by posters and through the To- cal newspapers and on an average of twelve towns were visited each day. Where 1t was possible. hall was secured fin advance, and the audience would be seated when the train arrived. At the larger number of towns the lecture was delivered in the cars. Quite frequently the three cars were filled, and three lec- lures were delivered at the same time. The period of thirty minutes which was allotted for each stop for the lecture proved much too short for the audience.
 The substance of the lecture given call cd the attention of the corn growers to the great losses resulting from poor quality of seed. and he was shown how 1t was easily possible for him to deter mine the germinating power of each ear of corn saved for seed by the use of a testing box. He was also shown how to select, save and care for his seed corn and also how to improve the quality of his corn by careful breeding up.
 The average attendance at each meeting was 192. and the audiences were almost exclusively made up of men engaged in growing corn. The corps of lecturers in- cluded P. G. Holden, Professor of agro- mony; Professor J. W. Jones' assistant in farm crops; L. c. Michael, station chemist: M. l.. Bowman, farm foreman, and M. l.. Moser and M l.. Wilson. senior students at the Ames Agricultural college. It was estimated that the cost

pany speaks of it and considers it in its tolls and plans.
 There is only one other city in the coun- try that has a similar cable system. That is Pittsburg, but even there the conditions are not like the conditions here. There are so many suburban exchanges in Bir- mingham and the territory that has to be
 covered is so large. it cannot be properly handled except through a cable system
 The new system will more than double the capacity of the Birmingham office,
 which includes all the suburbs. There were thousands, of calls daily which went through the main exchange and had to be handled by an intermediate operator
 This increased the burden on the lines from the suburban exchanges to the main
 office and made it that much harder to get connections from the branch ex- changes with the main office. All that will be eliminated with the new system as connections will not have to be made through the main office in order to con- meet two suburban exchanges.
 The accompanying diagram shows ths trunk system and illustrations how com plete the connections will be as soon as the work Is completed. While the system will be larger than is necessary mingham and suburban business, still the company is looking into the future, and at the present rate of increase the system will be none too large four or five years from now.

THE LITERARY MARKET

From the New York Herald.
 By Hercules growed the ancient hack writer its a saving clause in the laws governing ordinary business and the stock and other markets of material things that the same methods and price quotations don't control as control in the literary market. I'm willing to ad- init that there are variations, and even panics, but if the literary rule obtained there would be panics all the time-every day, every hour, every fifteen minutes. Here I've just got a check for $l5 for little sketch that I've been trying for three years to sell to anybody that would buy for as few as s. and yesterday I sold d joke to one chap for D cents, the companion of which went to another edi- tor for $2.50. The two jokes were as nearly alike in merit as two blocks of the same stock are alike or as two po- fatoes are alike What do you think would become of the huckster business if potatoes sold to one housewife at d dollar d bushel, and the same potatoes, raised by the same seed in the same weather and in the same time, sold to another at S10 bushel? Why, by Athene I've sold the same sort of stuff to the same publication at cents a word and at five words for a cent. An editor will
 
 slO0 for it. but if l happen to write an article just as good-pernaps better-and take 1t to him to sell all the chances arc that $25 will be the best l may expect for it. I remember on one occasion going to an editor before starting out on a trip where there was some possibility or pick ing up something readable. l told him what l might be able to find and he said there was nothing in 1t for him. He wouldn't even agree to consider anything from that part of the country. l was gone about four months and when l re- turned I was loaded with information no other man had in New York and the part of the country l had visited was heinz talked about.
 ''The editor sent for me to come and see him He wanted the stuff. l had 1t. He didn't want long story, but he wanted it. and was prepared to give me s1OO for about days writing. l might have got S20O, but S100 was so much more than he had offered me when l went to him with the stuff to sell that I didn't higgle over price.
 ssWhat would be the condition of the business world if things were conducted along these lines? Talk about that panicky feeing Why, pancs would be the normal state of the market and every thing commercial and financial would be utterly wrecked and ruined.
 And who's to blame? Not the editors, because they know what a thing Is worth to them and they pay accordingly Not the writers, because they wctAd have an established price of a dollar word 1T they were running the literary works. Then, whose fault is it? A few publica- tions have an established minimum price, and if writer has any unsolicited mat ter accepted he knows what he Is going to receive, because the unsolicited always commands the minimum figure But the majority do not have any set price and the market huctuates according to what is on hand which may be drawn upon to meet an emergency If they have plenty. the market remains stationary. if they have more than enough there is slump
