fine and with another good run
of water in the reservoir this
ought to be the banner season for
this crop.

HELPING THE FARM INDUSTRY
Is Business Proposition With the Rail-
roads and Much Money Is Spent
in That Way.

For generation or more the rail-
roads Of this country have been max
ing efforts to increase the number of
farmers in certain regions, thus try
ing to promote agriculture, and
through greater agricultural prosper
ity, to increase their revenues de-
rived from hauling farm products
Within the past decade these efforts
to encourage agriculture have been
extended to include instructions in
methods of farming, investigation OF
farming possibilities of a region, as.
sistance in organizing agricultural as
sociations, cooperation with state and
county fairs, employment of farm la.
bor aid in finding markets, and other
helpful lines of work. These projects,
are not confined to railroad compa-
MES; they are, however, the most
prominent of the several classes of
business concerns engaged in similar
work.
This promotion work on the part
of the railroads is business propo.
sition. Improvement in agriculture
means more traffic, and for this reason.
large sums of money are being expend-
ed systematically by numerous COM,
panies.-Exchange

Some Improvement Since.

DR.. Helen L. Sumner collated some.
figures for the department of labor.
which set forth that at Paterson, in
1885, women and children had to be at
work at 4:30 in the morning. They
were allowed half an hour for break
fast and three-quarters of an hour for
dinner, and then worked "as long as
they could see." They struck that
year, however, and their hours were
reduced to liz. In Philadelphia, in
1888, the hours were said to be 49, At
about the same time the hours at the
Schuylkill factory we're from sunrise
to sunset, from the 21st of March to.
the Goth of September, inclusively, and.
from sunrise until eight o'clock p. m.
during the remainder of the year" On
Saturdays the mill was stopped one
hour before sunset "for the purpose of
cleaning the machinery"

WALKING to Business.

days work, with no meal between his
breakfast and his dinner at Gambler

PRESERVING Valuable Relics.

stone inscriptions is being made for
the United States museum, and this is
being done in novel manner without
destroying the original. A soft paper
has been prepared for the purpose and
this is moistened and placed over the
inscriptions and pressed into the in
terstices. Here it is allowed to dry,
after which it is carefully removed
and the shell used as mold from
which cast is made. The latter shows
all the details of the carvings as well
as the markings on the surface of the
stone and after the casts have been

Probably the ordinary traveller new
er gives more than a passing thought
to the operation of a railroad and what
1t means. OF course, if the dining
car is full the poor service of that
particular road comes in for comment.
though the fact that the patrons of a
railroad can travel between Chicago
and New York at the rate of fifty
miles an hour. and have all the COM
forts that they have at home, hardly
calls for passing comment Why
should it? We are so accustomed to
unusual luxuries that most of them
have become necessities.
The problems of railway manage
ment, operation, construction, and
maintenance are too numerous even
to mention, but perhaps something
as to one phase of railroading will
serve to give at least a glimpse of
the intricate mechanism of the rail-
way industry. Railroads for the most
part buy their cars, locomotives, rails,
bridges, and signals. In some few in
stances the equipment is built by the
roads themselves in their own shops,
but this is the rare exception and not
the rule. To supply the needs of the
railroads there has grown up an enor-
nous industry known as railway sup
ply manufacturing. These railway
supply manufacturers are the special
lists to whom the railroads go for a
thousand and one things. When the
railroads wanted to increase the speed
of their locomotives they went to the
builders, and if the designing of fast
er locomotive was comparatively
simple thing, which it was not, even
after that had been settled came the
question of safely increasing the speed
of trains How was this to be done?
Here again the railroads went to their
specialists, the manufacturers of rail
ways supplies, ana the. pIOUleuI VI
safety running high-speed trains was
solved in the air-brake. Even the Or
binary layman is familiar with the
name Westinghouse. But the running
OF high-speed trains safely is depend
ent upon something more than the air
brake.
Probably not one man in thou
sand, who travels upon railroad, has
any idea that the efficiency of the en-
tire braking apparatus may be i'm
paired by poorly designed and con-
structed brake beam. What brake
beam is, and what its duties are, are
quite unknown outside of the railroad
field, and yet here is a structure,
weighing comparatively but few
pounds, that is called upon to take
the power of the air-brake and apply
it to the rapidly revolving wheels of
the train, not occasionally, but hun
dreds of times upon single trip.
Without this brake beam, high-speed
trains would be impossible.-By Bruce
V. Crandall in Harper's Weekly.
