In the early days of railroading en-
gines were handled by one crew. They
had chance to learn all their De-
culiarities and knew how to take ad-
vantage of them. In the modern sys-
TEN of railroading, if you are on a
main line run you might not get the
same engine twice in a week. The
crews have small chance to learn their
faults, and they do not get attached TO
or take the interest in an engine that
they would if handled by them wholly.
The old railroad man likes to look
back to the days when railroading
was in its infancy, and talk about the
good times when he was practically
his own master and was allowed con-
siderable latitude in getting his train
over the rails.

Beetles Great strenqth.

If asked to name the strongest ami
mails, most persons begin with the
largest, the elephant, and continue
with oxen, horses, etc. This is, of
course, correct in so far as their total
horsepower is concerned.
But for real strength, proportional
to the size and weight of the animal,
one must go to the insect world.
Compared with insects, the strength
of almost any large animal, and es-
pecially of man, is absurd.
A man is considered strong If he can
drag a mass weighing three or four
times as much as himself, but the
beetle will walk with 500 times his
own weight. If a man were placed
under a wooden box with five times
his weight on top to hold it down, he
would remain there indefinitely.

DIFFICULTY In
GROWING MELONS
Leaf Blight Is Most Common OF
CanteIoupe Troubles
May be Checked by
Spraying.

When blight attacks the cantaloupe
then the hopes of the grower willis, as
we'll as the leaves of his plant-it is
usually hard case to cure.
Leaf blight is the most common of
cantaloupe troubles. The leaves be-
come covered with light, to dark
brown, generally circular spots, which
increase in size and finally coalesce,
resulting in complete whiting and
curling of the leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings
such as are found in the common
alternaria blight of the potato. The
leaf stalks and vines are so affected.
The blight is caused by a fungus
which may at least be checked by
spraying with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from IL to IS
inches long and then every two weeks
during the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be of
the usual strength-six pounds of blue
stone and six pounds of lime to so gal
Ions of water.
The greatest care should be taken to
get down on the under side of the
leaves with the spray. Use a hand
pump on small plots with a fine spray.
lIf this does not save them nothing
will.

Simplest Way of All.

The following story the Saturday

George w. Goethals, who at the time
it took place was an instructor in en-
cheering at West Point.
One day, in a recitation he gave out
this question to class of cadets:
The post flagpole, sixty feet high
has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put it UP
again. You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates of the en-
gineer corps. How would you get the
pole back into placer"

and much figuring over the derricks

How Sun Vat Sen Got Money.

In his "reminiscences" Sun Vat Sen
gives a graphic account of the efforts
that were made to capture him by the
former Chinese government. He esti-
mates that the rewards upon his head
amounted to no less than 100000 taels
($1,000,000)! He has raised much
money for political purposes, especial
ly in America, and in this connection
he says: Cali over the world, and par
ticularly in America, the legend has
grown up that Cinnamon are selfish
and mercenary. There never was a
greater libel on a people. Many have
given me their whole fortune. One
Philadelphia laundryman called at my
hotel after meeting, and, thrusting a
linen bag upon ME, went away with
out word. 1t contained his entire
savings for 20 years"

SUPERIOR DAT
SEED ESSENTIAL
Good. Plump Variety VIII Gerrnt.
nate Rapidly and Get
Vigorous Start-Best
Land Needed.
(By w. M. KELLY)

=
There is more light and inferior oat
seed plpanted than any other causes a
of small grain. Poor seed causes
low yield Of oats every time. The
actual cost of improved seed is very
low compared with the increased
yields that come from it's use.
By good seed l do not mean ex.
tremely high-priced seed that is ad-
vertised to produce 100 bushels of oats
to the acre but good plump seed that
will terminate rapidly and get a Wig
orous start early in the spring. We
seldom see a large crop of oats
threshed from a field that makes a
poor start in the spring.
l have found that it pays big re.
turns to select one acre of the best
land to grow seed oats on each year
and to keep this crop for seed only
and to buy new seed every two
or three years to plant on this acre
plot.
Under ordinary conditions I believe
that we should change oat seed every
three or four years, for there is no
farm crop that will thrive better when
moved from one locality to another
than oats, or that will deteriorate
faster when grown on the same farm
year after year. OF course proper
seed selection will help to overcome
this tendency, but few farmers take
that precaution.
Closely linked with the good seed
question comes that Of selecting or
planting healthy seed, and l have
found it good plan to treat all oat
seed with formalin before sowing, to
kill the smut spores and insure healthy
seed.

Best Business Creator.

AS business creator. what is there
better than advertising? Have you
ever asked that question of yourself?
The millions that advertising has
made for merchants are uncountable,
yet there are business men who even
now don't believe in advertising, just
as there are people who still think it
is safer and more convenient to travel
in prairie schooner behind pair of
slow oxen than in Pullman palace
car. Yet this type of business man is
seldom rated in commercial rating
