Bay City, Mich, is divided into two
parts by the Saginaw river, and until
the present time the passenger and
freight terminals of the Grand Trunk
Railway system were situated in West
Bay City. In 1910 the management de-
cided to improve it's terminal facilities
by extending it's trackage to the east
side of the river, from point approx
mately one mile south of the old station.
In order to reach the site selected for
the new terminals on the east side, it
was necessary to construct a single
track bridge, one quarter of mile in
length, with two movable spans across
the channels of the Saginaw river.
Actual construction of the bridge COM
menced May 1st, 1912, and was com.
pleted about one year later. The bridge
rests on eight concrete piers and two
abutments and is the longest bridge
across the Saginaw river. The steel
superstructure, consists of five trusses
100 feet long and two swing spans $50
feet long. The swing span across the

Fertilizer for Alfalfa.

From my experience horse manure
ia the best thing for alfalfa, but don't
advise anyone to put 1t on the year he
sows, says the Farmer. The year be.
fore is best, or the year after will do. l:
manure is applied when seed is sown It
will cause more filth to come and
smother out the young alfalfa plant,
which is very delicate the first year.
After that 1t will take care of itself.
Another fault with manure is in most
cases there is plenty Of timothy seed
In It, and the consequence is you will
have a good stand Of timothy. From
what I have used Of alfalfa, no farmer
can AFFORD to do without 1t, for it can
be grown in this state, and why not
try it? II you do fail sometimes, and
the seed comes very high, when you
do get q good stand 1t is q fortune in
the hay line.
