r;obt Wrecks On w. WI. R. R.

The western Maryland has had a
numher of accidents in the last year.
The collision last Friday night makes
total OF eight disasters. l
Nm January 13 five box cars and a
oohoose we're demolished in an early
1anrning smashup just above Wal
h-ook Station. The accident was
naused by an extra freight train load
od with coal crashing into the rear

bound track.
Six OF the company's employees were
injured on July Is last in butting

IN a small bridge east OF Spring Mills
station, about mile west OF West
minister.
Several days later a train from
York, Pa, filled with excursionists.
left the rails at Maple Grove, just
south of the Pennsylvania State line.
The engines slid from the track and
came to a stop on the roadbed.
ON August the Blue Mountain Elk
nress crashed head-on into freight
engine ON curve about 200 yards east
of Chewsville, Md. Ten persons were
injured, one seriously; TWO engines
wrecked.
Traffic on the road was blocked for
hours when, on August II, in the vi
cinity of Mount Wilson, about II miles
from Baltimore, a heavy locomotive
and a train Of 10 coal cars were de-
rallied.
On October s failure to obey train
orders caused a head-on wreck on the
Baltimore and Cumberland division
of the road at Kobeen, six miles west
OF Shippensburg, resulting i'm the
death of four trainmen and the injur-
ing Of four others.
On November % two through freight
trains met head-on near Blue Noun
tain House and about 500 yards from
where the last wreck occurred at
Pen-Mar. Two men died and several
were injured and two engines and a
number OF cars reduced to scrap.

Might Hafse Ten Times as Much Corn
Az We DO.

AS We DO.
In the current issue Of Farm ant
Fireside q contributor writes about
the ideal corn crop-that is II eVerJ
producer worked scientifically and
took advantage of every opportunity
After telling about Jerry Moore, the
dfteen-year-old Southern boy who
won prize for raising about 22E
bushels to the acre, the author goes
on to say:
Did you ever take the trouble &c
figure out with pencil and paper Just
what a corn crop should be?
IF the hills are three and a hall
feet apart, there would be lin round
numberG) $500 of them. Each hill
should have three stalks, and each
stalk three ears. Again in round
numbers, this would give $4,000 ears
to each acre Of land. Now, a mod
crate ear of dent corn weighs ten
ounces. Thus we have 100000 ounces,
or 1880 pounds of corn. lit takes
about seventy pounds Of dried corn
on the cob to make a bushel. The
yield, therefore, should be 270 bush
els OF corn per acre.
What does this make you think of
your yield OF twenty-seven bushels
per acre? How do you like to think
that you raise only one kernel where
you should have ten? Doesn't this
little problem in arithmetic make you
sit up and think? Do you want to
believe that fifteen-year-old Jerry
Moore can do what you can't? 7

pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir

strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for 1t contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.

shipments OF export grain from
points strictly on the Western Mary

Grain merchants and others say
they have known for some time that

mean net revenue Of 1874 for the
haul. In addition these roads get
IL cents for the elevation Of this
grain into their storage houses.
The Western Maryland could solicit
this trade and by loading car on Its
connecting line at Chicago it could
bring it to Baltimore by way OF
Cleveland, getting the whole Of the
haul until it reached the mouth OF
the Pennsylvania tunnel. Here the
Pennsylvania would only get IL
cents per 100 pounds for the haul
through the tunnel and the elevator

"It il not reasonable oGuppose these

"It only means they have served no
