NOVEL IDEA IN RAILRoADING
Eastern Road lnaugurates Central
Classification Yard for lts
Entire System.

The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad, despite its troubles, has
just started to put In effect what
amounts to q new idea in railroading-
a centra! classification yard for its en-
tire system. The new yard Is to be at
Montowese, or Cedar Hill, near New
Haven, and will be the largest in New
England. The idea of a classification
yard may not be entirely new in itself,
but the New Haven yard will be the
hub of the whole system, covering
most Of New England, from all parts
OF which trains, on all routes, made up
of cars for oil destinations, will be run
to Montowese to be sorted, thus re-
lieving the present terminals and yards
on the outposts Of the system from
much Of their present burden. The
Montowese yard will be big enough to
take the peak load Of the whole sys-
tenn without overcrowding. At the
same time the plan Of a single huge
central classification yard Is relied on
by New Haven officials to simplify
compliance with the eight-hour law

nitrate OF soda and 26O pounds of
muriate of potash. in tests covering 20
years at the experiment station at

Nitrate of soda now costs nearly 4
cents a pound. and muriate Of potash
20 cents. At such prices the eight tons
of manure has had a replacement val
ue of at least $40.
Every pound Of saved and

CROP FLOWED UNDER
Humus May BE Largely Saved by

Also 10 Conserved.

Glover cut and allowed to remain
on the surface Of the ground for seven
months from fall to spring loses about
the same amount OF organic matter as
when fed to live stock, according to
recent experiments at the Ohio expert
ment station. This amount OF humus
may be largely saved by blowing the
crop under In the fall.
Z g. e. Boltz. assistant chemist, In q
discussion in the stations monthly
bulletin. says that only about one
third Of the clover remained In the
spring when the crop was left on the
surface. When It was plowed under,
about three-fourths Of the original
weight was found In the spring.
From analyses Of the drainage wa
ter It was found that four times as
much nitrogen was lest from the plot
with clover lying on the surface as
from that having clover Incorporated

CARE OF DAIRY CALF.

Is Not Large.
9tockman Who Has Disease.Fre rec Herd
10 Assuming Risk Of Introducing
Disease When New Animal
10 Purchased.

(By r. 8. HULCE and w. B. NEvENS.)
During the past five years the feed
cost of raising a heifer to two years
Of age has probably been about $50,
except where cheap pasture was avail
able. The total cost of raising includes
also the items of labor, housing and
miscellaneous expenses. In consider
Ing the latter items it is we'll to men,
ton the fact that on the ordinary
farm the additional labor expense
which the raising Of a few calves In
wolves is not large. The expense In
volved makes it apparent that unless
the animal is from ancestry the fe-
males Of which are capable of pro-
ducing product that will sell for more
than the expense Of producing 1t, the
heifer should not be raised. On the
other hand, the stOckman who has q
~disease-free herd is assuming az risk
Of introducing disease when a new ami
rnal Is purchased. Considerations such
rs these confront every owner OF dairy
cattle.
The importance of feeding the calf
regularly cannot be overemphasized.

LEAVES STORED FOR WINTER
They Are Easily and Quickly Gath.
cred in Various Ways-Big Pieces
Of Cloth Excellent.
(By M. A,

(By NJ. A. COvERDELL)
II farmers only understood the
many uses to which leaves could be
put. more of them would be stored.
Some may think 1t takes too much
time and labor, but they are easily
and quickly gathered in various ways.
One good plan is to have cheap bar
rels handy, I'll them with leaves. and
set them away where rain or snow will
not reach them.
Another method by which the stor-
age of leaves may be accomplished is
that Of using common gunny or bur-
lap sacks. These, also, may he stored
away without emptying the sacks, and
they will be in conveniei.+ shape to
use a few at a time during tile winter.
II n has only a small number of
sacks, the leaves may be carried and
emptied from the sacks into some out
building not in use; but where one
desires 10 store a considerable guam
tity, we find that bed-sheets, or SINH
lar pieces Of cloth, are excellent for
the purpose.
Simply spread them on the ground /;
rake up the leaves with q common
garden-rake and pile them on the
sheet; catch hold Of each Of the four
n and draw them together.
A large quantity can be carried in
this manner, and when 1t is desired to
empty the sheet, let go of one corner
and allow the leaves to roll out.

The digestive capacity Of the young
calf Is not suited to receive large
quantities Of milk at a time, but Is
better adapted for receiving small
amounts often. A young calf fed milk
three times daily will thrive. better
than II fed the same total amount In
two feeds, providing the milk IS always
fed In q uniform condition.
A general guide. for using whole
milk Is to feed it at the rate Of one
pound daily to each eight pounds of
live weight, rarely feeding more than
IL pounds per Gay. The length of the
time whole milk should be fed will de-
pend quite largely on whether skim
milk Is available. IL skim milk Is to
be had, 1t can be fed to good advan-
tage at the rate of about Is pounds
daily, instead Of II, to calves of the
larger breeds. The use of factory skim
milk has several disadvantages as COM
pared with fresh. farm-separated milk.
If the milk Is p~asteurized at the fac
tory, it may be too warm to feed when
1t reaches the farm in the forenoon,
and ut night it will need warming. In
summer there may be times when the
factory skim milk will sour during the
day. SO that 1t is difficult to keep the
milk in a uniform condition for calf
feeding. In the feeding of calves, sud-
den changes either in quality or guam
.tity of feed are to be avoided II the
best use is to be made of the feed.
Diseases such as tuberculosis and
foot-and-mouth disease may be carried
by skim milk unless it is thoroughly
pasteurized at the factory,
