Hitherto the amount of live stock has
been too limited to warrant anything
like an extensive culture Of the le.
guminous crops, such as coWpeas,
clovers, and alfalfa. Yet no Que
questions their soil renovating in
auencc.
With our grasses and clovers for
pastures, with cowpea hay, corn,
aud sorghum for roughage and cot
ton seed, cotton seed meal, rice
meal, corn and other feeds Cor con
ccntratcs, we confidently believe
that live stock can be grown as
successfully in South Carolina as in
any part Of this country or any other
country.
Let us feed our cotton seed aud
cotton seed meal at home; produce
our own live stock products, raise our
own horses and mules, manufacture
our own fertilizers, and some day
South Carolina will be pointed out
as the richest agricultural State in
tho Union. John Miche;s,

TRIAL TRIP MADE IN SHOP
Ingenious English Device by Which
Newly Built Locomotives
Can Be Tested.

An ingenious device has been
adopted on English railways by means
Of which engines can be run on Il
trial trip without leaving the scene
of their construction and their entire
mechanism as thoroughly tested as il
on an actual railway. The testing
plant is fitted with revolving tires.
into which the wheels of the locomo-
tive fit, and by this meas clever
representation Of the tread Of the
permanent way is produced. The
tires of the testing plant revolve with
the wheels of the engine when steam
is turned on, so that an engine can
be made to run at full speed, as if it
were on the metal rail, without NOV
ing an inch in forward direction. 1t
often has happened that an engine
on its trial trip breaks down and will
block traffic for some hours. But this
device obviates such possibility.

This Orleans company is now having

eral new features which it is expected
will enable the trip between Paris
and Bordeaux to be made in about
six hours
The distance between the two
places is 372 miles, and this will ne
cessitate a running time of 60 miles
an hour for six hours. As there win
be a number of stops made the speed
between certain points will be in ex.

ahat il the new locomotive accom-
plishes all that is expected OF it a
speed Of 20 miles an hour may be at

Trunk Pacific is being built westward
and the Canadian Northern has already

it touches the waters of the Pacific.
The new Hill line is to be pushed from

While the greatest of railway pro-
jects now under way IN the west cen
ters in the Canadian wheat fields. the
building Of various short pieces Of
road in the western states tends to
shorten the distance to the ports at
this end Of Lake Superior. A railway
map shows many dotted lines where
such short cuts are proposed All
these additions to existing railway
systems mean additional commerce
on the lakes.
II line is drawn from the eastern
end Of Lake Superior diagonally
across the map of the United States
TO the Pacific coast at the southern
extremity of California it will be
found that all the territory north and
west of this line is nearer to Lake
Superior ports than to others on the
great lakes, and in shortening their
1outes to the east western railroad
systems evidently have this fact in
mind.

Capitalization Of Roads Explained

The capitalization mile of Ameri-
can railways is about e12,000,
against e47,00O a mile in the United
Kingdom, but it should be pointed
out that in America there is pre-
ponderance OF single line whereas IN
these islands an average mile Of rail-
way represents two and one-quarter
miles of track, 50 that instead OF De-
ing four times as great mile ass in
the United States, the capital Of our
railways is really rather more e-.an
twice as heavy a mile of track, IN

Self-propelled wrecking cranes are
the latest modification introduced into
railway crane service. The special
feature is that. while the self-propell
ing attachment makes the machine in.
dependent of the locomotive while
working at a wreck or in loading OF
unloading at the yards, the attach
ment can be almost instantly thrown
out of gear to allow of the machine
being hauled rapidly over the road by
a locomotive. This is the first appli-
cation of self-propulsion to wrecking
cranes, for, while the styles Of pro
pelling gear used on steam shovels
were applicable to cranes. they could
not be thrown out to transport the ma
chine TO the scene Of a wreck.

More railroad Facilities Needed.

The railway mileage in this country
is about half the total in the world. 1t
exceeds the total in Europe by about
one-quarter, yet our facilities for rail
road transportation are still so far in
adequate to the demands on them that
the progress of business is retarded
seriously. Railroads generally are con-
gested with traffic More tracks, loco
motives and cars are required, and it
is impossible promptly to provide the
further facilities needed to keep up
with the growing traffic At the rate
of that increase in the last seven years
the tonnage seven years hence will be
nearly doubled The provision of ia
cilities adequate for the transportation
of this traffic is, for this country, the
most serious problem for discussion
and settlement

A portable electric plant for fixing
rails and packing sleepers, the inven-
tion Of A. Collet Of Paris, is in use on
several French railways. The appa-
ratus runs on wheels adaptable for or
dinary roads or railway tracks, and
includes a 25-horse power steam en-
gine, which Is coupled by belt to the
dynamo that generates electric current.
Steam is supplied by vertical tubular
boiler of a capacity of only 151s gall
