of the best. Our fair did as others-brought
the city and country people into closer inter-
course. / am satisfied, but intend to do all /
can to reach greater results in the same llne

Mr.. David A. Harlan of Baldwin says: II think
the farmers of Baltimore county could raise 80
per cent. more wheat by being more careful in
preparing the seed bed (and earlier in the season
than many do), by using perfectly clean seed
and drilling in time for the wheat to get good
growth before cold weather. The quantity of
fertilizer per acre would vary according to the
fertility of the soil. | raised this season "a
bushels to the acre and my brother 26, which is
about twice the average for the State of Mary
land"

Mood Used for Crossties.

It is interesting to note the wide range of woods used for crossties. The preliminary report by the census bu- reau lists separately 15 classes of species. Of these the oaks are now and have always been by far the most important. The oak ties amounted to more than 4S,000,000 or 43 per cent. of the total quantity purchased.
 Next to these ranked the southern yellow pines, with 2. 100000. or 19 per cent. of the total. It will be seen that the oaks and southern pines combined furnished nearly three-fourths of all the ties bought by the railroad com panies last year Cedar and chestnut supplied more than S,000,000 ties each, and Douglas fir nearly as much. About 100000 tamaraCk ties were pur- chased, nearly 3.500.000 cypress ties, and, in round numbers. 3,000.000 each of western pine and hemlock, Red wood, white pine. lodgepole pine, gum beech, spruce and several other woods were used in similar quantities.

JUST KEPT RIGHT ON GOING
On or of the Track. Conductor went Along According to His Sched-
 uIe.

| The conductor thrust his head into the shabby little coach and seemed to be about to make a remark, bu' changed his mind and withdrew, slam ming the door.
 The coach rolled along with clatter | ing windows and disgusted passengers trying to see through them and at length brought up at tiny station.
 How'd you like it?" the conductor asked the fat passenger, grinnlng broadly The fat passenger scowled at him.
 Like what?" he asked. The con- ductor seemed astonished.
 Wasn't you scared?" he asked. The fat man looked puzzled. Guess you must have been over this branch befoTe?" resumed the official.
 Here" said the passenger, what are you driving at? What should l be scared of?" The conductor looked disgusted not to say disappointed
 Why" he said, we've been off the track for 10 minutes. l didn't see no use in stopping out there in the fields, so we just hit her up over the ties, and here we are"
 Well, I'll be hanged," said the pas senger and to think I didn't know it. It seemed sorter rough, too" The conductor smiled.
 "Oh, that wasn't nothing" he said. You ought to have been with us one night last summer. If the passengers hadn't been asleep no tellin' how many would have been hurt. It's scare that hurts people, you know
 We was movin' along about 10 miles an hour, when one of the coaches turned over. We didn't know it for half an hour, because Billy Briggs, my tiagman, fell asleep after he'd throwed switch. But it was lucky he did, because missed Billy him and me used to play checkers be- tween stops, and 1 went back to see why he didn't come.
 There was the rear coach slidin along on it's side. I pulled the cord and went back. First thing l knew a man came out through a window that was busted.
 Say he says, this is the rough est road I ever saw. Ain't this coach ever to get on level track again?'"
 Huh" said the fat passenger doubtfully, looking at the rusty little train man standing beside him. Just then the conductor beheld an engine in the distance. bringing the wrecker With manifest excitement he poked his head in the car door.

the Union Pacific 400foot right of way through from the Missouri river at Omaha to the Great Salt lake at Ogden. The same contention and claims will, when brought before the courts, secure for the Southern Pa cific similar right of way from Og- den to San Francisco. making total length of almost 1000 miles. At pres ent, Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific tracks are in the center of a 100- foot right of way, and the court de cision gives these roads 150 additional on either side of the track.
 This is the tract which 1t is pro- completed, be the longest park in the world, although by no means the widest.
 Along the first 600 miles of the park that portion extending from Omaha to Cheyenne, it is arranged to SOW the comes green very early in the spring and remains so until late in the fall This soon forms thick sward and is better able to withstand dry, hot weather than any other grass in this country.
 As for trees, there will be a double line of bull pines. alternating with elms. These trees will be planted every two rods on the extreme edges of the 400-foot right of way.
 Down the center of this parking will run the double tracks, which are bal lasted with gravel from Sherman Hill Wyo. This gravel is dsintegrated red granite and the contrast of the red band against the background of green grass and trees will be continual de light to the eyes of the passenger
 Through the mountains there will be no attempt made to change the scenery, but rather to preserve it iI it's original beauty and simplicity. Un dergrowth will not be cut out except from close to the tracks, and as fal as possible the mountain section will be allowed to present itself to the eye of the passenger just as though there was no railroad within 1,00( miles of the place.
 There will be a special corps oi workmen who will have the care oi the park system, and to these mer will fall the duty of keeping the park in good order.
