With Unaurpased Loyalty, On* of Al­ most Fabulous Value Has Been Carried From the Mines to the 8melter. When the railroad was first com­ pleted into Virgiaia City, Nev., there were some sensa­ tional shipments of ore to San Francisco. At that time the bandit was Btrictly in e v i d e n c e . T h e y would risk their lives with as much unconcern •s some men would bet a dollar on the turn of a card. It was easier in those days to mar­ ket the loot than it 1B now. There was no such system for protecting the shipper as prevailB today. Battles with road agents were not infrequent. Many an engineer, scenting danger, has risked hie life by deliberately throwing her wide open and taking the chances of being killed by singing btillets to save his train of precious ore from the hands of highwaymen. A number of yearb ago a couple of poverty stricken prospectors opened, near Hillsboro, N. M., a lead that looked for a time as if it was large enough to pay the national debt. They skimmed the cream in a few days and then sat up nights with It, until they could take it to the railroad. They were without funds, and though they dared not tell anybody of their good fortune, the news spread in a mysterious manner, probably be­ cause of their secretiveness. When they loaded their ore into a Santa Fe car, after having freighted it for miles from the mine, a crowd had gathered to see them. The car door was locked and sealed. They had placed a value of $250,000 on the ore. In less than five minutes it seemed as if everybody knew about it. At that time such men -as Black Bart were abroad in the land. Men like him had an unpleasant way of stopping trains, and enforcing their demands with rifles of uncommon bore. When the conductor handed his or­ ders to him, he remarked to the en- Ifineer: "We've got $250,000 in gold in that box car we just picked up." "We've got WHAT in it?" "You heard what I said." "That's more money than there is in the world. Suppose," he added isententiously, "some guy who looks through holes cut in a handkerchief waves a shotgun at us after we get cut of the yard limits?" "That's up to you, Jerry," gravely answered the conductor. It was serious business--carrying ore so valuable that a handful of it was worth more than a $200 bill. Then his jaws set, and he muttered: "They have never put one over on roe yet--they'll have a run for their money if they try It now." During the entire trip, whenever the "various engineers who pulled the car of precious freight observed anything unusual or sighted men ahead, they crowded on steam and shot by them. They had a quarter of a million dol­ lars in treasure, and intended to pro­ tect it with their lives, If necessary. When the train crew heard of it, they were plainly nervous. Word was flashed down the line. The news reached the papers, and there were telegraphed daily stories of the train's progress. It was the advance of an Aladdin with his lamp. Whenever the train neared a crowd assembled to meet it. The car was billed to a smelter in Denver and made a trip of nearly 800 miles without mishap. When all charges had been paid it netted the owners more than $400,000. Check on Locomotive Engineers. An apparatus which registers all cases of engine drivers running past danger signals and sounds an alarm at the next station has been install­ ed on a portion of one of the German state railroads. Regulations have also been framed which order any stationmaster da hearing such alarm to await the ar­ rival of the train and immediately to interrogate the engine driver. Many Go Through Tunnel. More than 410,000 passengers were carried on the electric railroad through the Simplon tunnel between Switzerland and Italy last year. "SAFETY- CAMPAIGN" IS ON Railroads Form Organization to 8#> cure Cooperation of Employes to Do Away With Accidents. At the opening of the "safety cat paign".at Indianapolis Mr. Egan, ti principal speaker, emphasized tt far-reaching character of the invert • gallons which have been made by tl safety committee, as follows: "Domestic trouble 1B responsible for a multitude of accidents amoi railway men. An ^unkind word tss spoken in the morning. The husband goes to work with his domestic tro bles on his mind. Thinking about his quarrels with his wife, he 1B apt to walk into places into which he should not walk or do things he would no do If his mind were clear. The result Is many accidents, many injuries, all preventable." Among the stereopticon viei shown by Mr. Egan were pictures "how a man should part from his family In the morning," and "how lie should not," the latter being the pic­ ture of a vinegar-faced wife evidently berating her husband. Safety committees are to be estab­ lished on many lines, and a prise is to be awarded in each department on each division every year to the em­ ploye who makes the best suggestion toward increased safety of operation. The prize will consist of a month's vacation with pay. The recipient of the prize will also receive an honor button, to be retained by him as long as he remains on the honor roll. The members of the general safety committee are the general manager, the superintendent of transportation, the superintendent of motive power, the maintenance of way engineer, the claims attorney and whatever other officer or employe the general man­ ager may appoint. The membership of the division committees includes not only officers, but in each case an englneman, a fireman, a conductor, a trainman, a switchman, an agent and a section foreman. Safety committees are being or­ ganized on Pacific lines. The main safety committee will be composed of division superintendents, and on each division there will be a safety committee comprising the superinten­ dent, members of his staff from vari­ ous departments, a conductor, engi­ neer, brakeman, fireman, yardman, trackman, signalman, bridge and building man and shopman, and each of these employes will be the chair­ man of another district safety commit­ tee.--Railway Age Gazette. SELECT YOUR SEED CORN EARLY IN FALL Carried Over a Billion. In the last year the railways of Great Britain, according to the gov­ ernment report just issued, carried 1.326,317,000 non-commuting passen­ gers, an increase of 19,588,000 over 1910. The total receipts from freight and passenger traffic was $570,354,000, of which $307,976,000 was for freight The total gross receipts increased $15,933,000 over 1910. The tube railways of London car­ ried in the last year 175,000,000 pas­ sengers, an increase of 2,000,000 over 1910. The total paid-up capital of the British railways has grown by $26,- 800,000. The dividends now average 3.62 per cent, on ordinary and 3.56 per cent, on preferential shares. Peat Used Under Furnaces. According to a new Swedish sys­ tem of making use of peat, the mater­ ial is powdered finely and blown into the furnace by a fan blast, and the dust is consumed while tn suspension. The advantage of this method is that the degree of heat may be easily and quickly adjusted by regulating the amount of peat powder delivered l»to the interior of the furnace. This sys­ tem is said to represent a greater ef­ ficiency than heretofore experienced in the utilization of the peat for fuel, three parts of peat representing the same amount of energy as two of coal. In this shape it 1B also economical, aa there is no fuel burned except where the power is needed. Fast German Train. Germany's fastest train runs be­ tween Berlin and Hamburg and main­ tains an average speed of 55.177 miles an hour. Europe"s First Railroad.

The richest woman in Europe, next V_jto Frau Krupp von Bohlen, owes her fortune to tl^$|K sugar industry, 6ays a European exchange. Mme. Lebaudy, mother of Jacques, emperor of Sahara, is worth at least £8,000,- 000. She holds her wealth In horror and lives under an assumed name in order to avoid publicity. Her resi­ dence all the year round Is a small fiat in Versailles, where the domestic etaff consists of one servant, who is assisted in the work by her mistress. Mme. Lebaudy gives away pretty nearly the whole of her Income, most of her donations being bestowed anon­ ymously. It is an open secret, how­ ever, that for many years past she has made up the annual deficit of the leading French royalist newspaper, which usually amounts to about £16- 000.

LEONARD HEGNAUER, University of Illinois. In planning for next year's crop It is well to bear in mind that work should begin at once. Some work must be done early this fall If it is to be at all. If It Is neglected now it can never be done afterwards. There is but one time for selecting Seed corn and that is before freezing weather has done Its injury. There Is no exact date when seed corn should be picked, since the ripening period depends somewhat upon the date of planting, weather conditions and the variety of corn used. How­ ever, In every Instance, if good ger- minable seed Is to be obtained It must be taken when the crop has reached sufficient maturity and before any in- Jury has been done by the frost. Field selection before huBklng time time is in all cases strongly to be recommended. This Is the only way in wh'.ch one can make a real selec­ tion of valuable ears. It is well to bear in mind that each plant is an Individual and as such has characteris­ tics of Its own. Intelligent selection from the field may therefore be the means of making improvements in the crop as to quality as well as ob­ taining a good stand. It will also add much to the vigor and strength of the plants so that yield is dependent upon it. In selecting seed, choose early ma­ turing ears, since this will induce earllness in the following crop. In many fields it is quite noticeable that much of the corn is In danger from frost because careless selection helps to bring this condition about. To be sure there are other factors involved which are just as important, but seed, nevertheless, plays its part. If well matured seed wers selected from healthy, ^feorous stalks there would indeed be less of the "No Grade" corn on the market To Improve the qual­ ity of the corn, by whatsoever means possible, should be the great object of the corn grower. Anything which will help to Increase the yield should not be overlooked. In order to make the best field selection one needs to have pretty clearly in mind the things that are really important and hold closely to them. Corn naturally re­ sponds very readily to any selection or treatment given it SELECTING TRFES FOR THE ORCHARD By ASST. PROF. A. W. NOLAN, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. The commerical orchardiBts seldom plant more than four five varieties of fruit trees, best adapted to their loca­ tion and markets, but the farmer re­ quires many varieties to supply the demands for fruit throughout the year. Early summer, late summer, early fall and winter, late winter and early spring fruit, all are necessary for his table. There are hundreds of var­ ieties from which to choose but those varieties adapted to soil and climatic conditions should be selected. The trees grown successfully In the com­ munity will indicate to the buyer what varieties are suitable. The personal tastes of the owner and his family will also guide in the selection of varieties. A few of the standard varieties of fruit for family orchards of Illinois may be mentioned as follows: Apples--Summer varieties: Red As- trachan, Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest, Duchess, Red June. Fall var­ ieties: Wealthy, Maiden's Blush, Fa- meuse. Grimes Golden, Jonathan. Winter varieties: Rome Beauty, Ben Davis, Wine Sap, Gano, Salome, York Imperial. Willow, Stayman. Peaches.--Elberta, Champion. Craw- fords Early, Heath Cling, Carman. Cherries.--Early Richmond, Mont­ morency, Dyehouse, English Morello, Tartarian. Pears-- Kieffer, Flemish Beauty, Qarber, Bartlett Howell. Plums.--Burbank, Damson, DeSota, Wild Goose, Abundance, Surprise. Grapes.--Moore's Diamond, Niagara, (white.) Concord. Worden, (black,) Woodruff, Brighton, (red). Much valuable advice is given upon buying at the nursery grounds, but the practical thing for the farmer to do Is to order such varieties as he may decide upon from a thoroughly reliable and reputable nurseryman, and the chances are that he will get bet­ ter stock than he would if he selected the trees himself. The good nursery­ man will know that the young trees should not be dug until the leaves have nearly all fallen, for this means that the buds are well ripened and that the wood is hard and mature. Whether it is better to buy straight whips one year old, or more expen­ sive two-year old trees on which the main branches are already started, is no unsettled question Professor Al­ derman of the West Virginia college of agriculture writes on the subject as follows: "The advantages in favor of the smaller trees are first, cheapness; sec­ ond, small root systems which will re­ quire only a small hole at planting time; third, the head may be formed at any height; fourth, the root sys­ tems receive less Injury In digging than do those of larger trees. The advantages of - the two-year-olds are first, trees with well formed heads; second, they will probably reach bear­ ing size a year sooner than a one-year tree; third, it is easier to detect crown gall ot hairy root upon them than up­ on yearlings." Before planting the fruit trees It is evident that an orchard site muBt be determined upon. The foremost or­ chard fruit to be considered is, of course, the apple, which in common with such other fruit as the farmer is likely to produce requires a deep well drained soil. Neither apples nor stone fruit will thrive in damp soil; therefore a site should be selected for the crcharc that is rich In plhnt food, with good natural drainage, and as conveniently located with reference to the dwelling place as possible. A gently sloping side hill is preferable, and if It is a little stony, so much the better. It may not till so easy, but the fruit will grow better. Fruit trees may be planted either In October or April. There has been much discussion as to the proper way to prune and set the young tree. Some hold that all the tops and roots should be maintained and that the tree should be set in the same direction it formerly occupied with reference to the points of the compaaa. Others say that all the branches should be cut off clean and most of the stalk also, as well as all of the roots. Common sense would suggest a middle ground. The head of the two-year-old tree should be cut back so that three or four Bide limbs are left and these pruned to three or four buds. The roots should be pruned to six or eight inches. If the orchard site has been put in good tilt and furrows opened with the plow little h*nd digging will be necessary. If the soil is hard and compact, loosen it by digging a hole somewhat larger than necessary to hold the roots. One of the main principles especially to observe In planting the trees is to have the earth well firmed about the roots, leaving no air spaces. The ground Bhould be mulched about the trees with hay or straw manure for the winter protection and the trunks of the little trees protected from mice and rabbits. Allow no grass to grow about the roots. SUCCESS FOLLOWS JUDICIOUS FARMING III WESTERN CANADA IT IS CERTAIN. The story of the Big Farmer la Western' Canada, and the Immense profits he has made In the growing of grain, has been told and retold. He has been found in all parts of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan : and Alberta. His splendid farm build­ ings have been pictured, his traction outfits described and his princely sur­ roundings, resultant of his success In growing grain, have been portrayed by letter, press and camera. It certainly Is not to his discredit that by suc­ cessfully applying common sense and up-to-date methods to the conditions that climate, a good soil, and splendid market have placed at hand, that he has m&de the best use of them. He is not too proud to admit that he came to the Country a very few years ago handicapped as to money, leaving be­ hind him unpaid mortgages in bis old home land (which are now wiped out), and he is still today the same good- hearted fellow he was in the days that ha had to work for a neighbor, while the neighbor broke the land on his homestead, which went to make up the settlement duties. Then, there, too, is the farmer and the farmer's son, already wealthy, who has bought large holdings in Western Canada, in either Manitoba, Saskatche­ wan or Alberta, who has made forty to one hundred per cent, on his Invest­ ment, whose big grain crops and whose immense cattle herds are help­ ing to Improve the country. Health and strength, energy and push, and bull dog grit are as essential In West­ ern Canada as In Ohio, Indiana, Illi­ nois, Iowa, or any of the states from which so many of these people come, and then, when you have added to that a fair amount of means, with which to make a start, the land which ia only waiting for the skill of the husbandman will quickly respond. But there Is the smaller farmer, the man who has not made sufficient in four or five years, that he might com­ fortably Tetlre if he felt like it. There are many of them in all the three Provinces. It is not the less to his credit that he has earned his - home­ stead by the three years residence, that he Is free from debt, and has a reasonable bank account. He, too, came to the country handicapped by debts, and with very little means. He 1B contented, has a good hotrip, land free of encumbrance, some stock, and with good prospects. One of these writes: "I formerly lived near Day­ ton, Ohio, on a rented farm, had as good a chance as the average renter, but after ten years of hard work, satis­ fied myself that If I ever expected to secure a home, I would have to under­ take something else. Hearing of West­ ern Canada, I Investigated, and seven years ago last Spring Bettled In a homestead and purchased (on time) an adjoining half section, arriving with a carload of household effects and farm implements, Including four horses and three cows, and $1,800 in money--my ten years' work in Ohio. "The first year our crops gave us feed, the second yetf* 100 acres of wheat gave us $1,800; no failure of crop since starting here. I have now 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle, and 35 hogs. We own 1,120 acres of land, and have same all under cultiva1- tlon. Was offered at one time $35 00 per acre for a half section where we live, and all the other land could be sold today on present market at $30.00 per acre. Should we care to dispose of our holdings, could pay all debts and have over $30,000 to the good, but the question 1B where could we go to Invest our money and get as good re­ turns as here? "We have equally as good, if not bet­ ter prospects for crops this yesr, aa we had three years ago, when our wheat reached from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them my­ self. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our har­ vest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season In crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax, and run three binders, with four men to do the stooking. "We certainly like this country, and the winters, although the winters are cold at times, but we do not suffer as one would think. What we have ac­ complished here can be duplicated in almost any of the new districts. If anyone doubts anything I have said in this letter, tell them to come here, and I can prove every word I have written." The name of the writer can be had from the Superintendent of Immigra­ tion, Ottawa, Canada, who can give the names of hundreds of others equally successful. Adv. NATIONAL DAIRY 8HOW, CHICAGO.

The following general facts should be observed in making up the ration for a dairy cow. A cow should be fed all that she will eat and digest well, giving due consideration to the cost, digestibility and composition of the food fed The more palatable the food the greater quantity a cow will con­ sume. Variety often Increases pala- UA'1 part of the ration should be suc­ culent in nature, aa such food stimu­ lates action In the Intestinal tract, which stimulates vigor, thrift and health in the animal. Another im­ portant part of the food supply Is water. Too often this is not given proper consideration. Swiss Chard. I have been growjag Swiss chard In my home garden "lor several years and find it not only valuable for cul­ inary purposes, but it is relished by the chickens, says a writer in an ex­ change. In fact, no green crop, unless it Is young clover, is eaten so greedily by the poultry. A few doien plants vill supply green focx* for an equal number of hens from August 1 until killed by freezing. The plants, under favorable conditions, make a remark­ able growth, and as the outside leaves are removed the central ones grow very rapidly and soon attain full a^fcei Returns From Good Seed Bed. There are very few farms on which additional labor expended In prepar­ ing seed bed would not yield hand­ some returns. It costs but 15 cents per acre to harrow land, and about 35 cents per acre to disk land. For $1 land can be double disked and har­ rowed twice. One bushel of wheat or barley, two bushels or oorn or one- half bushel of flax increase per acre will pay for this extra work. Clean the Coops. Houses and coops should be clean­ ed at least twice a month, and if the houses are not open and well-venti- Iated at least twice a week. It is true that this makes work, but work is essential to success. It is much easier to clean the house whea it is done frequently than to wait till it Is positively filthy. Height of Assurance.
