PLANTING TREES FOR TIES.
Railroads Providing for Day When
Forests Are Gone.

The most perishable of the factors
that enter into railroads 'mainte-
nance of way" accounts, the ties, are
in modem practice reckoned for fur
thest ahead. The Atchison, is the
latest road to adopt the plan of
growing it's own ties, which means
that about 20 years from now the
construction department will be cut
ting its own lumber, provided, Of
course, that in the intervening gen.
GRAFTON ties of steel or sleepers Of
stone or concrete after the English
fashion have not come into general
use.
Dispatches from the west an
nounced that the Atchison had paid
100000 for ranch in California con-
tanning 1868 acres on which to grow
eucalyptus trees to supply the road
with ties. It takes the tree, which is
a relatively rapid grower, about 20
years to arrive at diameter large
enough for the purpose and each tree
will then furnish from six to eight
ties. In order to give the road q
continuous supply about $50 acres
will be planted each year ard at the
end of 20 years, when the Arst plan
tation is ready for the ak, the plant
ing will begin all over again.
The railroads of the middle west
began the planting of the eucalyptus
groves some years ago and there are
now in Kansas several such planta-
tons of fair growth. though none
has yet reached an age sufficient for
cutting. If the present rate OF con-
sumption, which has been estimated
at 100000 ties year, continues
they will all be needed.
