the year, when, although the regular
trains were delayed, the motor a was
able to force its way through the drifts
and maintain schedule time.
The continued success of the indie
~pendent-unit car will tend to modify
the present system of running long
trains at considerable intervals and
substitute a system of shorter trains,
or single-car units, running al more
frequent intervals. The elaborate and
costly electric installations which are
being carried u by the New York
Central and Pennsylvania Railroads
are expected to result in a great de-
velopment of traffic, and a wide extern
sion of the suburban radius, mainly
because of the frequent shOrt-train
service which will be rendered possi-
BILE. Where the density of the traffic
is not sufficient to warrant the heavy
expense of third-rail or trolly equip
ment, the independent motor car is
certain to fluid an overwhelming field
of usefulness.

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises. burns and like in
juries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without m%aturatiOn and
in about one-third the time required
by the old treatment. This is the
greatest discovery and triumph of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm acts on this same princi-
pie. 1t is an antiseptic and wheL ap-
piled to such injuries, causes them to
heal quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and and prevents any danger
of blood poisoning. Keep a bottle
of Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffer-
ing such injuries entail. For sale by
all druggists.

To the Cotton Farmers of Loui-
siana:-The Cotton Growers of the
South have made the fight for Ten
Cents Cotton and have won, thus de.
mo~nstrating to the world that the man
who grows the cotton has as much
voice in the fixing OF the price as the
man who buys our cotton. We may
expect raids on the market from time
to time but we have nothing to do but
withdraw our cotton from the market
every time they make a raid, selling
only on the bulges.
Every person who is willing to look
at the situation justly must see that
the persistent holding of their cotton
off the market caused the recent adj
vance above 10 cents and that the work
of the Southern Cotton Association
has resulted in much good and should
be supported by every man who grows
a bale of cotton.

Success of the Independent Railway
Motor Car.

Scientific American.
Further proof of the ability of the
independent motor a to meet the
most evere requirements of railway
service has recently been afforded by
the performance of the gas-electric car.
which was illustrated in The Scienti-
fc American Supplement of March 10
of the present year. The new a is
distinguished from others of its class
by the novel character Of It's motive
power. Practically all of the inde-
pendent railroad motor cars are driven
by steam or gasoline engine, q genera
tor, q storage battery and motors.
The storage battery receives the sur-
plus power from the generator when
the load is light, and it is drawn upon
for the extra power required in start
ing the car or in climbing steep
grades. The i~nterposition of the gen.
orator and storage battery between the
engine and the car axle was made prin-
cipally to overcome the difficulties of
mechanical transmission, and to real
ize the well-kpown economy which is
secured when the peak of the load is
taken care of by q storage battery.
Since the publication of u article,
the car has travelled over 5000. miles
without any cost for repairs, except
that due to the renewal of brake shoes,
After being used in preliminary SER
vice on eastern railroads, it was sent
from Philadelphia to Kansas City un-
der its own power, and since its arrival
it has been in continuous service on

The basis OF nations greatness To-
day is agriculture. Wherever com
munity is devoted to a development
along agricultural lines, there is found
progress and success along all other
lines of manufacture. Agriculture is Of
vast Importance to the manufacturing
world, and the demand of late years for
labor saving machinery on the farm has
necessitated the employment of thou
sands of men. For these implement
plants, again, there is the requirement
for raw material. The employees of
these concerns demand articles which
require an infinite variety of business
throughout the entire land, and so on,
until we can link to agriculture in one
long chain almost every kind of bust
ness known.
The last sixty years have been re-
markable ones in the development of
machinery for the farmers use Land
had to be titled, and experiments in
that line have led to wonderful results
Yet, viewing these to-day, we know that
1t is possible that inventive skill will
in the next ten years bring forth new
ideas in labor-saving machinery that
will alter conditions ali over the world
The crudest implement of cultivation
originally was the plough. 1t comprised
simply the forked bough of a tree with
sharp point for q share, d point of
attachment for the draft and a project
ing handle. Drawn by oxen or asses,
this was the primitive plough of 1000
years ago, as seen depicted on ancient
monuments in Asia Minor. To-day, this
same type is to be found in Egypt, In
ern ingenuity has, however, modified
every part OF the implement Steel has
been substituted for wood, yet strange
to say, there has been little variation
made in the general outline.
Some Of the pioneer ploughs were of
wonderful construction. Often a two
wheeled truck was used under the
beam. Among those who contributed
much to the improvement of the plough
was JethrO Tull. who was in his time
an advanced exponent or thorough Gull
tivation. He is credited with having
introduced horseshoe tillage into En-
gland. So much Importance did he at
tach to cultivation, that he considered
manure quite unnecessary. He dem
onstrated the truth of his teachings by
raising wheat for twelve years in sue
cession on the same land, without any
diminution of yield. 1t was seen, how
ever, that his ploughs did not pulverize
the soil in the most economical manner.

GIFTS HARD TO DODGE.

In writing the "Recollections'' of the
royal family of Germany in the time
of an earlier generation, the Princess
Catharine Radziwill gives some impress
sions which Christmas made upon her
Juvenile mind. They may prove not
wholly unpleasant reminders to chill
dren of less exalted station in life.
On the twenty-sixth day Of Deem
Der the empress appeared at my moth
er-in-law's, accompanied by her daugh-
ter, the Grand Duchess Of Baden, and
brought with her an enormous bag
filed with various trities, which she
distributed among us as Christmas
presents.
These occasions were dreaded by ey-
erybody, as anything more hideous than
the knickknacks which the poor en-
press used to bring could hardly be
imagined.
The fact was that she never gave us
pretty things and on this particular
