BIG ROUNDHOuSE,
Great Concrete Building in Course Of
Construction for Railroad.

Passengers who have seen with Won
dering curiosity the immense struc-
ture being erected at the Cedar Hill
freight yards of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad just out
side of New Haven. will be interested
in knowing that this is gigantic
concrete roundhouse being built for
the New Haven road. When complete
this will he one Of the largest engine
houses in the country. and the largest
roundhOuse of reinforced concrete
construction. This vast circular house
is to be $50 feet in diameter and will
provide 43 stalls, accommodating t3
steam engines or SIS electric engines.
The rooted ring which houses the en-
gines is 90 feet wide and 30 feet high.
Within this ring is an open area 80
feet in diameter in the center of
which is to be built a. 49-foot turn
table. Each of the engine stalls has a
pit. and extending across three of the
stalls is a large drop pit. over which
an engine can be swung for repairs.
The roundhouse is being built of re-
inforced concrete throughout and is
to be a model of its kind. The struc
ture is being erected on the very edge
of the Quinnipiac river. and this loca-
ton involves some interesting en-
cheering problems The land where
this great structure is being built was
formerly q big marsh. without a foot
of solid ground. This has necessitated
extensive pile driving over the entire
surface of the marsh occupied by the
building and when finished the struc-
ture will rest on a small forest OF
sufken timber. More than 1000 i'm
mense piles from 40 to So feet long
have been driven in the mud. and on
these will rest the foundation of the
building. The foundations will be ex-
astly on level with the surface OF
the marsh making it necessary to use
between 10000 and 10000 yards of fill
ing inside the walls of the building to
bring the ground up to the floor level
of the engine house. The erection of
the engine house on the very edge OF
the river also makes necessary extern
sive riprapping to prevent the whole
structure from slipping into the river,
and this is now being done.
The preliminary work on the con
tract began last fall, but not until
early summer was the building we'll
under way. Since May l a force of
200 men has been employed on the
work. which is now being rapidly
pushed to completion. and the building
will be ready for occupancy early in
the fall The roundhouse when com
pleJed will be the largest of the New
Haven system, and will be used for
both freight and passenger engines.
taking the place of several small
roundhouses now in use.

To sum it all up, let's admit that
these so-called demonstration farms
are handy things to offer suggestions
for us to try out, but exceedingly bad
things for us to initiate blindly. They
are useful as goads. but never alb
solutely trustworthy as guides.

The very best demonstration farm
for you and l brother hayseed is the
one which we hold title to in our own
names. There is room on it for ex-
pertinent and test:-for demCnstra-
tions which, when accomplished shall
mean certainly for US. The results
which other demonstrators obtain on
other farms mean only possibilities
to us on our farms. We must. in any
case, test them out by ourselves and
for ourselves under our own con-
ditions. before we can be warranted
in accepting them. He is q good farm
er who. holding grimly fast to all the
knowledge which he has earned and

after more. and tests for himself any
new system or scheme which, found
helpful by others, shows promise of
equal value to him.

from another star in glory, SO one field
diifereth from all other fields in
character and capacity. The farmer
who gets the best results from his par
that particular farm best. And here
is the point; 1t doesn't help him SO
much to learn about some other farm
as 1t does to learn his own farm.
Furthermore, what somebody else finds
out on some other place isn't worth
nearly as much to him as that which
he himself finds out on his own place.
For the simple reason that his place
isn't the other fellows place, and the
other fellows isn't his place.
There are some broad, basal prin-
ciples in farming which apply to all
agricultural operations But they are
not very numerous. and we must, to
secure results, know about ten
thousand little details many of which
are peculiar to our own farms,-to
certain fields in those farms,-perhaps
to different sides of the same field.
When it comes to these details we
simply must make them fit our own
conditions; we must make ourselves
fit them and and the conditions. 1t
is perfectly natural, under such cir
cumstances, that we should become
what the philosophers cali excessive
ly individualistic;" what we ourselves
describe as 'sot' and stubborn" After

The trouble with these "demonstra
ton farms" and their farmers is that
too often they fail to recognize the
differences between their acres and
mine. They go at their clay-loam and
keep at it till they have evolved
scheme of farming which fits it like
tailor made suit on a Narragansett
beach belle. Then they stroll over to
my gravel patch and offhandedly set
out to tell me how to raise more and
or clover. Why. durn their impudence,
I know seventeen things about that
gravel which they never heard Of
have known 'em for sixty years. And
the very first and simplest thing /
found out way back in the time of
the Buchanan administration, was that
what was sauce for clay-loam wasn't
the right gravy for gravel. Yet the
difference between clay-Ioam and
gravel is only one of the seventy
seven differences between their field
and mine. Both are made of dirt,
mixed with some stones: both are
dampened with rain water: but be-
yond these fundamentals of likeness
there are scores of unlikenesses. That
they have discovered the knack of
coaxing success out of their soil I'll
cheerfully admit But l must develope
a quite different knack to cajole COM
parable results from mine. And it
does sometimes rifle me to have them
put on a sort of superior air and dose
me out "a lot of misfit information as
