road in the United States" Howard
Elliott, its newly elected head, de-
clared in a statement issued sequen-
tial to the closing day of the interstate
commerce commissions lnvestlga-
ton into the death dealing North
Haven wreck of last Tuesday.
All sleeping cars will be of steel be-
fore JAM l If the Pullman company
can furnish them, and rush orders
have been sent to other car builders
who now have steel cars for the COM
pany under contract, calling for the
expenditure of s6,500,000, according to
the statement.
Orders also have been given, he
said, to rush work on the new signal
system to replace the, old banjo"
type, charged with the responsibility
for the North Haven wreck.
The sum of $365.00O for improve

announced, by the roads executive

Engineer August B. Miller, of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, has been doing two mems
work for a week when he ran his
train by signal at North Haven last
Tuesday morning and wrecked the
Bar Harbor wreck at a cost of twenty
one lives.
He so testified at the resumption
of the federal hearing before Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Nc
Chord. On the night before the wreck
he slept only four hours, he said.
The commissions, public inquiry
has been completed, and Mr.. Nc
Chord announced that his report
would be ready in the near future.
Inspector Befnap had placed on the
record report on the Pennsylvania
wreck at Tyrone, Pa. This wreck was
similar to the Wallingford disaster,
but both trains were of steel cars.
One train collided with the rear end
of the first train while travelling from
forty to forty-fve miles an hour. No
one was killed and the damage con-
sisted OF the crushing of the vesti-
bules of the steel cars The rear car
was telescoped only fifteen feet
Engineer Miller had told how he
clapped on the airbrakes when he first
saw the warning signal that was sup
posed to guard the train ahead, and
how he put on the emergency brakes
when he discerned the dim outline of
the Bar Harbor express, he suddenly
rose to his feet and said:

BABY in MISERY WITH Rash

Monroe, Wis.-"When my baby was
six weeks old there came a rash on
his face which finally spread until it
got nearly all over his body. It form
ed a crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible. When he
would scratch the crust, the water
would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body it was in a dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights 1 would lie awake
holding his hands so that he could not
scratch and disfigure himself. I tried
simple remedies at first, taen got
medicine, but it did no good.
Finally friend suggested Cuticura

HOW FERTILIZERS
SHOULD BE USED
For Best Results They Should Be
Combined With Animal Ma
nure or Rotted Sod.

To obtain the best results from the
always be used in connection with ami
NAL manure or rotted sod. The two
give the greatest returns at the least
cost. The quantity to apply to the
acre will depend upon the condition
of .he ground. In svils which have
been built up by the free use Of sta
BILE manure or green crops very
small quantity of fertilizer can be
profitablX used to start the seed.
About ESQ to 800 pounds may be ap-
piled to the acre in the hill for corn.
Use a good corn fertilizer. This
quantity will give the corn vigorous
start which it will maintain through
out the growing season. A fertilizer
should always be drilled in with the
grain. If sown in the drill or dropped
in the hill mix it with the earth be-
fore dropping the grain or setting the
plant, says a writer in the Baltimore
American. The phosphate should never
be thrown in a pile in the hill;
sprinkle it over a four-inch space, so
the first rainfall can dissolve the
plant food. 1t is then ready to be
taken up by the delicate corn roots.
Land that is SO poor that it cannot
grow weeds will not give a profitable
yield of corn with i2tsie fertilizer
dropped in the hill. Such land needs
rotted vegetable matter. This can be
best furnished by sewing cow-peas or
buckwheat and turning the crop down
when in full bloom Thorough prepar-
alton of the land before planting and
extra culture during the season of
growth will often give a fair yield
from thin land. / have made great
many practical experiments in the ap-
plication of fertilizers to red clay and
rotten rock soils and / have invaria-
bly, found that the most profit was
realized when good Donemeal or
other nitrogen fertilizer was used in
connection with stable manure or
rotted clover and grass sod.

steers up to the age of twenty-three
