The average number of passengers
in each railroad train In the United
States in 1904 was 5.23. This repre-
sents a growth frcm about 30 a train ]
1898. but is still far below the devel.
opment attained abroad. In 1903 Ger
many carried an average OF Il persons
In each train, and India had the large
figure Of 1S9. The development of the
electric railway in the United States
and the frequent train service help u
keep down the average. On each Of the
212.OoO miles of railway in 1904 there
We're carried on an average of 1oi,f9e
passengers. That is to say, the aggro

Every tree in an orchard should be
washed at least twice Il year with
strong sonpsuds, but there will be no
necessity for scraping them. The cat
erPillars should be destroyed as soon
as the nests are seen, which will end
large numbers with amazing rapidity :
the escape Of a single pair means thou
sands next season. One of the best
assistants to an orchard is the little
wren. If farmers will give him prop
er protection by constructing boxes
with entrances so small that no bird
but a wren can enter. the sparrow will
be unable to drive it away. AS the
wren is an active and busy creature, it
destroys a large number OF insects In
Il very short time, and, as it increases
rapidly under favorable circumstances,
quite a large number of them may be
secured and induced to remain in the
orchard. If proper facilities are af-
forded fer their protection and accom-
meditation,

Milking by Machinery.

In the dairy department of the agri-
cultural college at Manhattan, Kan,
they have for more than a year been
successfully milking cows by machin-
cry. The milking machine is a queer
looking apparatus. driven by a gasoline
engine. When n is fastened to a
cow it milks away in spite of all the
kicking and cavorting the cow may do

Pumpkins for Lambs.

Pumpkins are good feed for lambs in
the fall, especially when they are trou-
bled with paper skin, caused by worms
in the intestines. They will eat them
with salt, but it is better to provide
1at-bottomed troughs with compart-
ments, each being large enough to re-
ceive the half Of a pumpkin cut in such
fashion as to have the pieces lie fiat
with the inside uupermost.

LOcunt DestrOyers.

In Argentina, a. in Africa and Asia,
the locust is a name Of dread, though
not to anything like the same extent,
and in South America there has arisen
a hope Of combating the destroyer
which may prove of enormous value in
regions more liable to devastation.
Large Numbers of locusts were found
dead and microscopical examination
showed that they had been destroyed
by a natural enemy-a species Of fly
which ate into the body Of the locust.
and there deposited its Larvae which de-
veloped into a life ~prodigiously multi
piled. Experiments are now being made
to test whether this fly can thrive In
regions which are recognized as, the
~incubating places Of h locust. The
Argentine agricultural department Is
breeding the flies for this purpose,
though under effective control.

Potato Spraying Saved s22 per Acre

Potato Spraying Saved $22 per Acre.
In the efforts to make potato spray
ing popular among the farmers of the
State, the New York experiment station
at Geneva has been carrying on COOP
erative tests with farmers in all parts
Of the State. As a result of the spray
ing carried OF by f%orty-one farmers OH
a total of 1868 acres, the average gain
due to spraying was fifty-eight bushels
per acre, at a cost of about So per acre,
giving a net profit Of about $40 per acre,
after paying the expense Of spraying.
AS a result of this good work it is as
serted that the practice of spraying is
on the increase in New York.

Points on Raising Geese.

Have one gander to four geese, no
more. Give them a good run. Do not
try to change their nests, but let them
set where they lay. Take first eggs
and set under hens, as a goose will
sometimes lay thirty to forty eggs in
the season. Goslings should not be al
lowed to run in water or tall, wet
grass, but should have a good grass
run, grass that is short and green.
Feed dried bread moistened with milk,
cooked dry potatoes or cooked corn
meal. Do not feed them too much at
first, and mix some grit and sand with
their feeds. -.

To XIII Sa~SsafraS Roots.

Says one writer: SasSafras is n of
! the worst pests that some N have
to contend with. 1t may be grubbed
! out that can be, and still there will be
roots left that will sprout up, and soon
the sassafras will be thicker than ever,
and the area of sassafras brush will
| be enlarged rather than diminished.
No amount Of grubbing Will permanent
ly rid a field of sassafras. The most
successful method Of fighting sassafras
I have ever tried is to cut off the
| sprout at the top of the ground and to
pasture with cattle and sheep until the
roots die, or if the trees are large, peel
them two or three feet above the
| ground and pasture until the roots die.
If the land is plowed and the roots
! broken, they will sprout, but If pas
tured close the roots die in a few years.
Hens Don't Like New Home.
Fowls are very fond Of their homes
and dislike being moved to new loca-
tons. If eggs are the object it is most
important that birds should not be
moved from pen to pen, as it will de-
lay egg production and also diminish
the supply. Pullets for early laying
should, if possible, be brought up with
in sight Of their future laying run or
pen. On the contrary, if it is wished
to delay the laying of a pullet, and to
encourage growth for prize purposes,
her home must be changed often. A
sitting or broody hen may he interfered
with by removing her to a new scene
and fresh companions-a more reason
able and humane way of checking her
maternal instincts than that of half
drowning her, shutting her UP in dark
ness Or resorting to other cruel meth
