As a rule, salt meat is not adaptâ€" ed to the requirements people, as nutritious juices go into the brine to a great extent. Fish of all kinds is good for them. llaw eggs, contrary to the common opinâ€" ion, are not as digestible as those that have been well cooked. Good bread, sweet butter and lean meat are the best food for the nerves. People troubled with insomnia and nervous starting from sleep, and sen- sations of falling, can often be cured by limiting themselves to a diet of milk alone for a time. An adult should take a pint a meal, and take four times, daily. People with weak- ened nerves require frequently a larger quantity of water than those whose nerves and brains are strong. It aids the digestion of these by making it soluble, and seems to have a direct tonic effect.

In the new goods station the space or roofed in is 40,000 square feet, eight acres; there are 220 sidings, with a length of thirty-one miles, and 4,000 waggons are made up and dispatched every day. On 130 acres newly acquired accommodation for 2,500 waggons at one time is pro- vided, and these waggons extend over some eight miles of line. Through the passenger station as many as 1,000 trains pass in twen- ty-four hours at Christmas time, and on an August Bank Holiday the number has been 1,250. The length of the station from one end to the other is two and a half miles, and there are also two and a half miles of platform in the passenger section, though that provision will be much extended when the works now in progress are complete. Crewe will be a great station when this work is done. but the largest passenger station in Kingdom is neither Crewe nor Livâ€" erpool Street, as many suppose, but the Waverley Station at Edinburgh, which has also been enlarged enorâ€" mously in the last few years. The extensions and reconstructions there have cost no less than $10,000,000. It covers an area now of twenty- three acres of which eleven and a. half acres are under one roof. There are two and threeâ€"quarter miles of platform, with seven main lines running through the station, and fiftyâ€"six dock roads and sidings. Alongside the platforms thirteen trains of ten coaches each can stand at one time, and the traffic is conâ€" trolled by 600 signal and point levâ€" ers. The reconstruction of this station was a work of great enginâ€" eering difficulty, but it was made necessary by the growth in the traffic to the North. New Street Station, Birmingham, is another station of similar characâ€" ter, with an area of thirteen acres, eight and three-quarter acres being roofed in. The platforms extend for nearlv two miles; there are twelve through lines, and some 700 trains pass in and out in a single day. Liverpool Street, which is the largest and, in many rerpects the busiest station in London, has an area of twentyâ€"two and a half acres, of which six and a quarter acres_are under roof. There are twenty lines of rails, and it is estimated that 100,000 people use the station every weekâ€"day. The traffic in and out is controlled by and levers. platforms and an area of sixteen acres, holds the record for traffic, the number of trains and en- gines passing in and out in twenty- four hours being about 2,500. For the sake of comparison some facts as to the size and traffic of other great stations may be given. Paddington Station, which was built by Brunel at a cost of $1,200,000 is one of the largest in London, the area for passenger and goods traffic ' V faryleâ€" being seventy acres. The 1V bone Station of the Great Contra; an Company has a similar area, _ 1 there is one goods warehouse With a floor space of eleven acres.

A rich soil is always desirable for winter wheat. The plant is a gross feeder and requires an abundant supâ€"- ply of feed for the largest yields. This does not necessarily mean that the ground must contain as much humus as corn ground, but it should be abundantly supplied with this ma- terial, in addition to phosphoric acid and potash. If soil is not naturally very rich and stable manure is avail- able, supply as much of this as can be obtained. It can either be appli- ed to the crop previous to wheat, or if well rotted, can be put on the ground just before plowing for wheat land. If not Well rotted, the most satisfactory method of enriching the soil for wheat is to top-dress during the fall and winter, spreading quite evenly over the surface. In this way the available plant food in the maâ€" nure is absorbed by the upper lay- ers of soil and is ready for immediate use by the young plants. Furthermore, this top-dressing is a firstâ€"class protection against the dis- astrous effect of winter freezes. Where it has been tried, it gave most excellent results. In some localities it may pay to supply pho‘sphoric fer- tilizers, but this question each and every man must determine for him- self, as it depends almost WI-IOLLY UPON THE SOIL. In most winter wheat sections it is of utmost importance that preâ€" paration of the ground he started as early as possible. Where wheat is to follow oats, barley, potatoes, field peas or some spring crop, get these out of'the way as soon as posâ€" sible, then plow the ground without delay. This cannot be done too early, for it is absolutely necessary that wheat land be well compacted before the seed is put in. ‘ Summer or fall plowing'of this kind need not be very deep. On some soils 5 inches is sufficient and it is seldom necessary to plow more than 5;» or 6. Some farmers get good results in'plowing 4: inches deep. See that the ground is thorâ€" oughly plowed and that there is no skipping or “cutting and covering.” As soon as plowed, least once, so as to create a soil mulch and to compact, and I should not depend upon them- be regularly sown.

Buckwheat requires more soil moisture for germination, but will thrive at a lower average tempera- ture. Both are low in feeding value, conditions are favorable alfalfa stands above all known forage plants for the dairy cow.
