To Make Travel Safer,

A new device for greater safety of
railroad travel has been tested by an
eastern line and the test is declared
to have been entirely successful. 1t
is an airbrake system that can be
operated with either pneumatic or
electric control, and it can stop train
of II steel passenger cars and loco
motive, all weighing nearly 1000 tons,
running with speed of so miles an
hour, within 1000 feet, or the length
of the train. Emergency application
of high speed brakes now in general
use would bring the same train to a
stop in 1000 to 1880 feet 1t is
claimed for the new device that it
can stop the same train going at 80
miles an hour in 200 feet.

215 lbs. of nitrate of soda. 49,. 6.45
"a lbs. of sulfate Of potash
worth .-.-..l z.S0
LAP lbs of materials worth. >. $16.75
These prices are based upon 81
per ton for IA per cent acid phosphate,
$50 per ton for nitrate of soda, and
$50 for sulfate of potash, which are
retail prices for these materials, but
they may be bought at lower rates in
larger quantities from wholesale deal
ers or manufacturers.
Weight Not Criterion.
What worries some farmers is that
the materials used do not weigh ton.
This is nothing to worry about They
contain the same amount of plant food
as the ton of 1882 mixture, and bags.
freight and hauling are saved on 568
pounds in a ton, a saving on these
items of % per cent
Another very interesting study was
the selling price of mixtures of acid
phosphate and potash. These are mix
lures of two very simple materials,
acid phophate and sulfate or muriate
of potash.
1t was found that the average COM
position of these mixtures was 10 per
cent Of available phosphoric acid and
2.83 per cent of potash, and that the
average selling price was $22.3O per
ton.
1,430 pounds of IA per cent acid
phosphate and 120 pounds of sulfate
of potash would give the amount of
phosphoric acid and potash in a ton
of the average composition named, and
could be purchased for about $3.50.
The cost of mixing should certainly
not be more than $1.0O per ton.
Limestone Good Filler.
If filler is desired, limestone
ground to pass seive of ten meshes
to the inch may be used and
it will have beneficial effect on the
availability of the acid phosphate
used in the mixture, but there is little
danger of first-class materials getting
in poor mechanical condition after
being mixed.
The only object in mixing fertilizers
is to save time in application. The
writer's opinion is that mixed fertil-
izers should be used only in limited
way for the purpose of Stimulating"
the crop, or giving it a good start"
If the soil is deficient in phosphorus
arge quantities of phosphate of some
form should be used broadcast and
we'll worked into the soil. The same
statement may be made for potash.
Nitrogen should be obtained by the
growing of legumes. Nitrogen used
n mixed fertilizers with fall sown
,rops is of little effect 1t is better to
lse some soluble form of nitrogen, ]
such as nitrate of soda or sulfate of !
as a top dressing, when
pring growth begins.

KEEP RATS AND MICE
OUT OF CORN CRIBS
&c. ]. Kinney, Assistant Agronomist,
Kentucky Experiment Station.)

NE. y. RAuA0yg ASSAStduI ASIOnOul1SI,
Kentucky Experiment Station.)
1t would be very interesting to know
the actual number of bushels of corn
that are destroyed by rats and mice in
Kentucky each year. Every farmer
who keeps corn in cribs, however,
knows that the loss is very heavy.
Undoubtedly the most effective cribs
are the all metal cribs, which are man
ufactured by several firms in the
United States. There is no possible
chance with these cribs of rats or mice
gaining an entrance unless the door
has been accidentally left open. These
cribs are very desirable but quite ex-
pensive. The common method of maxi
ing cribs rat and mouse proof and one
which is followed by careful farmers,
is to elevate the crib on posts so that
the rodents will have difficulty in OBJ
tanning a foothoid to gnaw through
the crib floor. These posts may be of
wood, or ordinary sewer pipe filed
with concrete. These concrete filed
pipes should be rested on concrete
foundations with the f1ange end down.
