meet at Monroe. Trains at that re- riod traveled by time table and prear- ranged schedule. Imagination had not progressed to the point of conceiving a disarrangement of programs.
 On this occasion the east-bound train found on arriving at Monroe that the other was half an hour late. There appeared nothing to do but re- main there, according to custom. and await the tardy one.
 Nothing else appeared possible to anybody except General Superinten- dent Minot. He refused to be bound by tradition. He promptly wired to the west bound train to wait at Turn CTS, the next station, until the east bound met it. Then he wrote all or der for the conductor and engineer of the latter to proceed to Turner's.
 The engineer, it is saia, refused to obey the order Disoho'ing the time table seemed to him to be Ike frac- turing the Decalogue. He declined to take the risk Thereupon the gen eral superintendent climbed into the cab and himself drove the engine to Turner's. This is said to have been the first time the movement of trains was directed by telegraph in America.

DINING GAR IS THE HEAVIEST
Some Interesting Comparisons Be- tween It's Weight and That of
 the Other Coaches.

The heaviest of all the cars in a limited" train is the dining car, which is, ordinarily, of a weight in excess of the other cars by 10000 or 15,000 pounds. Between the car con structlon and the necessary kitchen equipment and icebox contents, a full
 size standard dining car tips the scales at 40 ,000 pounds when ready to make 4ts customary division run. There Sfore, on the principle that in case of lcollision a passenger is safer in the strong, heavy coach in the center of vestibuled train, the dining car is good place to remain. sixteen-sec- tion sleeping car may weigh from 10000 to 12o, 600 pounds, while the buffet-lbrary car of the transcon- tinental type comes next in weight at j197, ,0O0 pounds.

Number and Value OF Hogs.

Farm values, as applied to
domestic animals by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
present some curious conditions.
For instance, in the states known
as the North Atlantic division,
where at the beginning of the
year there were but a trifle moro
than 100000 head of hogs, the
average value was estimated at
$10.32 per head. In the north
central group of states in which
more than 35,OOO,O00 head existed
at that time, the figure az which
their value was placed was 1911
per head. Florida still exhibits a
lack of appreciation of the hog by
insisting that he is worth but
$500. At the other extreme is
Rhode Island, where he is an
aristocrat with $12 valuation. In
general there was a decided de-
cline in hog values during the
year. In 1911 the average value
per head for the entire country
was given at 1897, while last
January it had gone down to an
even So. The effect of this
decrease is best understood by a
comparison of the aggregated
value of the two years-$615,71 no.
600 for 1911 and $523,32s,OOO for
1912-more than $9O,OOO,OOO In
point of numbers and aggregate
value Iowa still stands supreme.
Her farms have 9,O55,O0O head,
valued at 94,952,OO0. Illinois fol-
lows with 4,64O,OOO head at $40,
$4,000, Missouri 4,491,0 900 at $751;
$4,000, Nebraska 4,267 900 at $37,
$4,000, Indiana 4,O3l 900 at $31, O39,-
600, Ohio $4,000 at $29,34O, 900,
Kansas 2,SOS,OOO at $22,1S3, 900,

Mr.. Falconer says that in a

a century he and his father have
never had a failure. There were
years when the output was not
quite so large as in others, but
there has always been honey for
the little workers to live on dur

pounds had been sold.
Practically all of the sales OF
honey from this apiary have been

TOADS VALUABLE

Useful in that II Destroys Harmful Bugs
and Insects.

Science offers a new solution for the
bug problem. II is to employ, in its

and garden-as an insect destroyer, de-
clares writer TO the Technical World

To Much Hydrophobia.

w. Horace llaskins, a Philadelphia
veterinary OF long experience in treat
ing dogs afflicted with rabies, recently
contributed the following observa-
tons to the Public Ledger OF that
city. They are OF interest in the
light of the constantly recurring dis
cussion on the whole subject:
Almost daily the columns of our
papers record increasing outbreaks
of rabies among dogs, many times
without the accuracy of the diagnosis
being completed. The fact is that for
many years the average person has
had instilled into him the fear OF
hydrophobia, which is disease ex-
ceedingly rare, indeed 1t seems to
me that much less publicity should
be given to these reports by the pub
lie press. 1t is a well-known fact
that a very large percentage of the
so-called cases of hydrophobia are
lyssophobia, simply the results OF
peoples minds becoming greatly exer-
cised because they have been bitten
by dog.
In the first place, the bite of a dog
is not any more dangerous than the
scratch of a pin or the use of an
infected corn knife or razor. The
average physician lives a lifetime oil
experience without ever seeing a sin
gle case of hydrophobia. Even when
rabies is present with a dog, a very
limited number OF cases OF infection
follow when proper precautions are
used.
Again, the fact that many OF the
so-called Pastuer Institutes record a
high percentage of cures, having only
one case in a thousand develop, should
remove from the minds of the laity
the danger that has been SO greatly
magnihed in connection with the bites
OF dogs. The rapid method OF dag
nosis of rabies by the presence OF
negri bodies in the brain has been toe
frequently conclusively diagnosed as
rabies by the mere presence OF some
of these bodies. 1t is equally well
known that under other conditions
negri bodies are found where Their.
is no history or condition that would
lead to such diagnosis. This meth
cd OF diagnosis j. not universally ac-

DON'T BREED THE SOWS TOO YOUNG

mission of useful motherhood in
view always. Making a hog fat is
not making it grow, and the young
SOW needs no more Of the for
mer than goes with a proper de-
gree of the latter. Of course, she
only grows from her feed con-
sumption, and while in the first
few months of life she needs about
all the feed it is possible for her
to consume and assimilate to max
her proper growth, it is obviously
an error to impose upon her thus
early the strain of nourishing
her unborn offspring.
In fact, it is quite impossible
for her to do two things con
tinue her growth and properly
nourish her offspring-from the
simple amount of feed she is
able to eat; hence, when the
young sow is bred too early, it
means that her own development
is unfavorably arrested, and the
pigs come into the world stunted
weaklings.
1t seems from my experience
and observation that producing
is largely a matter of habit in
swine mothers; that some sows
bred too young seldom have large
filters, and generally fail to ac-
quire the habit of material num-
erical increase in subsequent lit
ters.
The assumption is that when a
breeder takes it upon himself to
raise a good SOW, and having
gotten her, he will want to keep
her. This being the case, he can
well afford to make haste slowly,
and be further on in the end. He
will, therefore. not breed his SOW
until she has good growth and
reasonable age. Exceptionally we'll
developed individuals may be bred
at nine to ten months of age, but
usually year is quite early
enough to breed the ordinary
class of really good sows. Sub

Although Nearly at the Century Mark Nc
Actively Cares for His Bees.

AS a worker, Laughlin Falconer
95 years old, has one OF the most
remarkable records in Chicago's
history, for despite the fact that
he is but few PAGES from the
century mark, he is yet worker
and a whole team at that.
His line for sixty-seven years
has been honey, milk and onions,
and history records him a
pioneer in each.
He began raising honey in 1874
on the Des PLANES River. In
that year he captured from its
refuge in hollow tree aswarm
of bees and successfully hiyed
them in an old empty barrel.
From that humble beginning to
the present day..and he is still
a beekeeper-he has produced
over $50 tons OF sweets culled
from alsike and other clover and
from the bloom of wild flowers in
the Des PLANES Valley. The ton
