weeks ago by the roads in Iowa-the purpose being to stimulate interest in better corn crops, quantity and quality. The Illinois CentraPs train will cover 2000 miles at a cost to the company of s12,OOO.
 It has been proved that by careful se- lection of seed and thorough cultivation. the yield of corn per acre can be largely ncreased-perhaps doubled.
 The Illinois Central train will stop at 126 cities, town, villages, and crossroads stations. Each stop will be of 40 min utes duration, during which there will be lecture on seed and soil. The tour will be in charge of Prof. Hopkins, of the University of Illinois, and he will be assisted by professors from agricultural schools. Representatives of the Illinois Central will accompany the train and will tell of the results in the way of Increased shipments that have come from improved methods of farming. The pro- fessors about eight in number, as well as the railroad representatives and mem bers of the press, will eat and sleep on the train.

 Dear Sir: Your circular letter of the 2nd received. We are satisfied that the railroads are giving us a square deal" and do not think it necessary for Presi- dent Roosevelt to interfere in our behalf. The railroads in Alabama haul our raw material at less freight rate than we could afford to handle 1t if we owned and controlled the railroads ourselves.
 Yours very truly

gain of 6. 700 pounds in the four

The animals were sold for 81. 1871

\ P. ROAD CHANGES
Winnipeg junction to be
Wiped off the
Map ....

According to Engineer Mccoy, who
has charge of the work, the changes
which the Northern Pacific road is
making between Lake Park and
Stockwood will require at least two
years to complete. It will require
at least q year to drive piling neces-
sarv for the changes in tie grade
from 6lyndon to Stock wood.
Sixty.fve foot piles will be driven
fifteen feet into the ground, then they
will be braced and a temporary track
laid go that the work of filing may
be accomplished more easily. When
the work there IL finished it will give
. grade of about, fifteen feet to the
mile from 9lyndon to Stockwood. re.
versing. the present grade between
those places.
When the change is completed Win
nipeg Junction and Muskodaie will be
wiped of the railroads map. The new
line will run on a bridge about three.
fourths of mile north of Winnipeg
Junction, and will cut across the old
right Of way at the east limits of
Rawley, passing Muskoda to the
south.
