Next Years Garden.

Begin to prepare your home
garden this fall by supplying the
soil with humus and fertilizers.
Stable manure may be spread up
on the surface and either plowed
or spaded under.
In many parts of the country
rye may be sowed yet this fall to
be plowed or spaded under in the
spring. Use about half a pound to
one pound of seed to the square
rod. The ground should first be
cleared OF weeds and crop refuse ;
but do not wait until all the crops
are off. AS soon as any part OF
the garden is cleared, however
small the space, SOW rye upon IT
at once. This may be continued
until the whole garden is sowed
even though the last vegetable
crops come off quite late in the
fall, as rye will terminate at temp
erature only slightly above the
freezing point. If the soil is loose.
the rye may be scattered over the
surface and covered with garden
rake. If the soil is hard it should
first be hoed or cultivated 2 or 3
inches deep, as the ideal seed bed
for rye is compact beneath and
loose at the surface.

Fall Bailing

Throughout the Northwest,
where practically all hay is stack
ed in the open, large percentage
OF the crop remaining in stacks
through the winter and spring IS
spoiled and becomes worthless so
far as bailing and shipping to
markets is concerned. If this hay
is baied in the fall and early wint
err after the rush OF other fall work
is past, when it will be found to be
in dry condition, many thous
ands of tons can be saved in the
hayproducing sections for ship
ment to other localities.

Provide a Supply of Hay

Feeders OF stock in the North
western part OF the United States
would do well to anticipate their
requirements of hay as early as
possible for the coming winter
and spring. The nearest source OF
supplies should be located and ar
engagements made to have hay
shipped in during the fall and ear
" winter. A stock sufficient to
carry their animals through at
least part OF the winter should be
provided before the hay supply OF
their immediate territory is e%-
hausted.

excellent roughage for stock, and
any straw is worth preserving in

Theodore MARTINEZ made final
proof on his homestead near Amos
this week. Mr.. MARTINEZ has fifty
acres of alfalfa land, and sold his
hav this fall in the stack for Sl4
per ton. The buyer will dive his
cattle to the premises and feed the
hay there. This is the highest
price ever known for hay in this
section. Mr.. MARTINEZ has a RABBIT
proof fence around his farm made
OF sagebrush which he cleared
from the land. He hauled all the
brush as he cleared the land and
piled it along the barb-wire fence
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1917-11-24

and tramped it down well SO rab-
bits could not get through. When
rabbit does finally work his way
through tho hole is stopped up
with more brush. 1t has been the
general practice in clearing land
to burn the brush, and then, if a
rabbit-proof fence is not put
around the fields, the rabbits do
great damage to the crops, and in
many instances the last two years
entirely destroy them.-Rev. Min.

NEW HAVEN TO
 CONSTRUCT NEW TRACKS
Six Thousand Feet to Be Laid in New
 London.

New Haven road is to construct s. 900 additional feet of main track be- tween New London and East Neck, Waterford. The new trackage will begin near the Ocean avenue cut and extend to East Neck, being an exten- sion of a double passing siding which now extends from a point near the Waterford station to East Neck
 This is the project for which the New Haven road has been acquiring land in the vicinity of the Ocean ave- nue cut. Recently the road purchased land in that section from Mrs. E. N. Crocker, Attorney John C. Geary, James R. May and James O'Neil1.
 The contract has been awarded to Lathrop & Shea of New Haven, who are in the midst of a large four track Ing job from the Thames river bridge in Groton to Midway. Lathrop & Shea are now getting the material for the job and plan to start actual construc- ton on the new trackage in few days.
 The job from the Ocean avenue cut to East Neck is one of many that the New Haven road has under way and which are contemplated being con- structed all over the system this sum- mer. While it is but an extension of a passing siding the job really belongs to the roads program of getting four tracks on the Shore Line and New London divisions as rapidly as possi- bic, with the money it can spare.

TRAIN STOP SAID
 TO MEET TESTS New Haven Road Has Been Trying Out Device For Two Years.

With very little noise about it, the New Haven road has been making tests of an automatic train-stop for the past two years and now believes the device has reached a point where It is an absolute success. Inasmuch as the tests have heretofore been con- fined to the trackage between Ansonia and Derby comparatively few have known about it.
 Jean r, Webb, Jr., invented the de- vice. The International Signal Co.,, of New York, of which the inventors Webb stop is attached to the engine of a train. A cast-iron shoe projects to touch the track and through this shoe the electric current that works the railroad signals also controls the train stop. When a signal is at dan ger" and the engine barely passes the signal, the train-stop sounds a warn ing signal in the cab and at the same time sets the brakes. If the engine is travelling beyond a given rate of speed, the train n-stop again sounds the warning signal and sets the brakes. Another signal indicates to the engineer when there is no need for stopping at a signal point.
 Reports say that the apparatus was turned over to the railroad company in March, 1915. and the running tests have been made under the direction of the signal department of the road. One
 
 engine makes three round trips with a passenger train each day over the section of road where the apparatus Is installed. The principal apparatus is contained in a rectangular box about one foot square fixed on the front end of the engine.
 The apparatus has been operated regularly except during corsiderab' e periods when the locomotivelbad to be used in freight service and other pe- riods of considerable length when the apparatus was taken off and carried to the shop to have changes made in some minor details, or for repairs necessi- tated by damage done when the engine was on other parts of the road.
 |'The engineman has made regular daily reports and the signal supervisor and the trainmaster have made numer- ous special reports. While the appa- ratus has been in the hands of the of ficers of the railroad company, changes in detail made by the proprietor have had to have the approval of the signal engineer of the road"
 Just what the attitude of the road toward the signal will be cannot be said. General Manager Bardo has said that it is unwise to relieve an engi- neer of responsibility to ttoo great an extent, and that mechanical devices could never supplant this respOnsibil- ity.
