few of the Hopkins county farm
ers had put to the practical test.
This is probably because it costs
some 500 per acre to tile land
properly. The two last gentle
men had used tile extensively on
their farms for years past
and had gotten results that
proved to them the plan was
verv beneficial.
The farmers all agreed that
fertilizers were beneficial to
wheat, but several expressed the
view that they did not believe in
it for any other farm crop. Some.
even declared their belief to be
that fertilizers were simply
stimulants and their continued
use would exhaust the land.
The leading spirits in the
meeting urged the holding of
monthly meetings of the Farm
erS' Club as it was proposed
should be done when the club
was organized at the Farmers
Institute held here last fall, and
held that great benefit would
come out of frequent discussion
of the best methods in various
details of farming.
The meeting adjourned after
voting to meet at MadIsonville
on the third Saturday in next
month, April Is.

UNCLE SAM HELPS COOKS
Gets Out a Book Showing How to
Make Cheaper Cuts Of Meats Ap-
petizing.

Washington, March 1.-THE
increased cost of living has
prompted the Department OF
Agriculture to instruct house
keepers of the country how to
make the cheaper cuts of meat
palatable and appetizing. To
this end a manual of economy In
meat cooking has been prepared,
containing variety of recipes
and & neral information.
Economic Use of Meats in the
House" is the title of the
manual, which may be procured
by addressing a request to the
Secretary of Agriculture. The
department officials state that
cheap cuts are most difficult to
prepare.

basis this spring, for every indi-
cation points to an exceedingly
prosperous steel year, as the
company has 5000, 900 tons in
untitled orders, and these orders
are placed "firm,' not subject to

public probably does not appre-
ciate that the United States

railroad system of 5000 miles,
over which it operates $4,000

it has 100000 employees.

REMARkAgLE NEW LOCOMOTIVE
BUILT FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC
More Than 100 Feet Long and Amounts to
Two Engines in One.

The Southern Pacific Railroad
has just had completed at the
shops Of the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works fifteen new iocomo-
tives of a type which has aroused
considerable interest. The new
engines are of the Mallet COM
pound type, which are in reality
equivalent to two locomotives
Joined into one, having two sets
of cylinders and driving wheels.
The Southern Pacific almost a
year ago secured number of
these locomotives, but engineers
operating them have raised the
objection that the extreme
length of the machine, exceeding
as it does 100 feet, and the huge
boiler, interfere with the view
Of the track ahead.
To obivate this difficulty the
Southern Pacific has had its new
Mallets so constructed as to
be turned about and run back
ward, with the cab foremost.
The result is an engine resembl-
ing from the front an electric
locomotive, with large windows
through which the engineer
gains an unobstructed view of
the track. From the windows
downward is a smooth plate
front with a small pilot below.
At the rear end is the smoke
stack, and behind the second set
of cylinders is the tender.
Such an arrangement of course
would be an impossibility with a
coal burning locomotive, where
the firing must be done IN the
engine cab. The Southern Pa
ci6c's engines, however, are oil
burners and the only change
necessary was to extend the
pipes around the side of the
boiler from the tender tank to
the oil burners in the firebox.
The advantages gained from
the clear outlook afforded the
man operating the locomotive in
the OPINION of railway engineer
ing men, that it is regarded al
strange that so few have beer
designed. In the ordinary Goa
locomotive there is an objection

called to order at 10 O'Clock by
Judge Jno. g.. B. Hall, president
of the club. The morning was
filed with very interesting dis
cussions continued right up to
the noon hour, when adjourn
ment was had until one O'Clock.
After the dinner hour the meet
ing was continued with renswed
interest until final adjournment
at 4 O'Clock. Some twenty-five
farmers all told attended the
meeting. coming from various
sections of the county, and their
interest was keenly manifested
throughout the day Only a few
of the subjects outlined in the
program published last week in
THE BEE could be taken up be-
cause of the lack of time. The
principal topics discussed are as
follows:
Esq. j. H. Shaw led the dis,
cussion on Corn, making a very
instructive talk and conducting a
veritable Ground table, upon
the subject, which drew out
many questions from others in
attendance. w. w. Wilson, of
Dalton, and J. Il. Laffoon took
part also in discussion of this
subject, which consumed the
time until noon.
The first subject taken up aft
err dinner was "Frult-Grafting
and Spraying" by J. J. Tippett,
a practical and self trained fruit
grower and nursery man of this
county, whose home is a few
miles northwest of jacksonville.
Mr.. Tippett illuminated his talk
by exhibiting various tree cut
tlngs and rooted young fruit
trees, TO show the manner of
grating, told how to make at
home a cheap and practical
spraying mixture and how to APP
ply it. Another point he touch
ed upon especially was the dead
ly San Jose scale, describing it
and the danger of it and now to
avoid and control 1t by spraying.
Mr.. Tippett was subjected to
numerous queries from interest
ed listeners.
Esq. Frank Sisk stirred a more
general interest, perhaps, than
any other speaker by his story of
his successful experience in
growing pea hay for a number of
years past. He now puts in an
nually 30 or more acres in peas
and is considered as perhaps the
most successful grower of this
important crop in Hopkins coun-
ty. His farm is but a short dis
lance west of darlington and he
was formerly for some years a
resident of this place.
J. III. Laffcon was on the pro-
gram for q talk on hay growing,
but this subject was not reached.
Mr.. Laffoon made a brief talk
on Wheat, however, when the
latter subject came up onthe
program. Regrets were express
sed that there was not time to
hear Mr.. LaIfoon on grass and
hay culture, because he is known
to have devoted much time to
this crop for years and with fine
success. The chairman an
nounced that the club would ex-
pect to hear from MIR. Laffoon
on this subject at its next meet.
