The effect of la failure of transporta- LV .^on facilities in modern warfare is well illustrated by the present situa­ tion in Russia. There seems to be no ;i doubt that the failure of the Russian military plans was to a very great ex- [ ffent the result of the disorganization .|$f the nation's railway system, a dls- -^Organization so complete that it ex­ tended clear to Vladivostok, 6,000 miles behind the fighting line. At that port an accumulation of rfirms, munitions and supplies shipped /. ,, from America for the use of the Rus- '^•z.'.."flan forces is piled on the ground for " .* juiles. Some of the material has been <here for more f&an a year. It may ' ; %*?1I be doubted whether the Russian r Revolution would have come so quickly , a head had the military authorities •|>een able to keep the troops properly V; iuppiled and thus put them more f *, i pearly on equal terras with the ehemy. GIRLS DO MEN'S WORK Railroads radiating from Chi­ cago already have begun to em­ ploy women for men's work as a result of war's effect in thin­ ning the ranks of the men em­ ployees. The Erie and the Balti­ more & Ohio have notified op­ erating officials to employ wom­ en whenever necessary, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Chicago & Alton and the * Monon are preparing to take S similar action. & «r it?- $1' i t : - : Conditions During Spanish War. V i • does t^le Spanish war furnish '!%.• the only example of a failure on the: of American railroads to meet |he stresses of war conditions. Some­ thing of the same sort of disorganiza- : - tion affected the railroads of the Northern states during the Civil war •nd resulted in the first plan of rail­ way centralization for military pur­ poses. When the serious nature of the struggle had begun to be evident to ,,-the people of the North and repeated "•alls for volunteers had resulted In the raising of large nhmbers of troops in different sections of the country the facilities of the railroads broke down completely. The movement of men and supplies in numbers then un­ dreamed of was too much for the per­ sonnel and the equipment of the nn- ' Inerous small roads which at that time tiroke the journey between most of the principal cities. Government Control. It was this situation which in 1862 impelled congress to pass an act giv­ ing the federal government power to take over the railroads in time of war. President Lincoln, however, contented himself with calling to Washington Col. Thomas A. Scott, then an officer of the Pennsylvania railroad and after- ' ward its president for many years. Col­ onel Scott received an appointment as ussistant secretary of war, with full authority over all the railroads In con­ nection with the movement of troops. Colonel Scott and his assistants soon had things straightened out and troops were moved to the various mobiliza­ tion and concentration points as fast as the army authorities were able to take care of them. One of the Penn­ sylvania's bright young men whom' Col­ onel Scott summoned to Washington to assist him in the work was a certain division superintendent, Andrew Car­ negie by name, whose fame in othet fields of endeavor has well-nigh ob­ scured the reputation for unraveling knotty problems, which he demon­ strated as an official of the military railways. Another of his assistants was John P. Green, who afterwards rose to the vice presidency of the Pennsylvania and who is still serving the company on its board of directors. RAILROADS BUILT IN MIDAIR One of .Greatest Engineering Accom­ plishments Under Our Flag--Many, Remarkable Scenes. A railroad journey on the Island of Hawaii, where,the great Kllauea vol­ cano is always active apd so easily ac­ cessible by auto from Hilo, is filled with remarkable scenes. The railroad Is built almost on the edge of the great cliffs, overhanging the Pacific, and it crosses deep canons, bores through ridges and follows horseshoe trestles, all of which forms one of the great engineering accomplishments under th© American flag. The railroad passes through banana and scores of miles of sugar cane plantations, picturesque vil­ lages of laborers with sections devoted exclusively to Chinese, Japanese, Span­ ish, Portuguese and Filipinos. Coffee plantations show an intense dark green against the lighter shade of the sugar cane. Occasionally passengers on the trains pass beneath cane bundles, which look like great winged birds, brought over the fields to mills on wire cables or trolleys. ** In other places they see the cut cane floating down wa­ ter flumes to the mill. Some of these flume trestles are at least 250 feet above the bottom of the canon. A splendid auto road parallels ttie railroad track and over this scores of taxis and jitneys carry a cosmopolitan population.--Boston Transcript. MOST POWERFUL OF ENGINES "Seven Hundred," Triple Artlculatlve Type, Put Into Service--Power Is Unlimited. Seven Hundred, the most powerful locomotive that ever hauled a train, was put into service on a Virginia rail­ road the other day. It Is of the triple artlculatlve type--a type of which there are only three others in the Unit­ ed States, and all are owned by the Erie railroad. Seven Hundred, how­ ever, has a greater tractory power than any of its prototypes, there being practically no limit to the weight it can pull or push. Before Its capacity could be reached, the drawbars and couplers of the most modern cars would break under the strain. Were it possible to put them together, it could pull 300 cars, loaded to capacity, and it would be able to push a much heavier load. A conception of its weight, 844.000 pounds, may be gained when it Is known that. In coming from Eddystone, Pa., it had to detour 50 miles between Philadelphia and Wilm­ ington, because the most direct line was not strong enough to bear its weight. The cost to build the locomo­ tive was $80,000, and it will be used to haul coal In the West Virginia mountains. SQUASHES TO RELIEVE FOOD SHORTAGE FINDS TWO SONS; ? SOUGHT ONLY Peculiar Experience of Hartford Woman While Searching for Offspring ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO SUMMER GARDEN. BUILDING ROADS IN RUSSIA According to Department of Commerce Afcout $300,000,000 Will Be Cost of Projected Lines. Extensive railroad construction in .Russia during the next ten years ag­ gregating almost 60.000 miles, recom­ mended by a special commission, has been approved by the Russian council of ministers. A report to the depart­ ment of commerce says about $300,- 000,000 will be the cost of 51 projected lines, aggregating 20.779 miles, rec­ ommended for construction during the period 1917-1922. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) > Summer squashes are to many an at- ^active addition to the home garden. They may be planted yet in practically any part of the country, and their cul­ ture is easy. Two or three hills will furnish enough for an average-sized family. They are not fastidious as to soils, though they, like most garden plants, prefer a warm, sandy loam. The most important requirements for their growth are abundance of manure and good cultivation. The hills may be spaced five or six feet apart. The plants will occupy the ground all sum­ mer if the fruits are harvested at the most usable stage. Squashes are tender plants, and can­ not endure the slightest frost, so seed should not be planted until the, sotl is well warmed. Ten or a dozen seeds are planted usually in each hill. These shonld finally be thinned to one or two plants. The soil must be stirred by shallow cultivation until the plants cover the soil. There are in use in this country sev­ eral types of these squashes. They must all be used while very immature ; If the thumb nail does not veryreadlly puncture the skin of the fruit, the best stage for er.ting has passed. Scallop or Pattypan squashes occur in white and yellow colors. Yellow Summer CHedkneck is also much plant: ed and is a good variety. " These squashes have short vines and are usually called bush forms. * English forms of summer squashes are called vegetable marrows, and can be ob­ tained from many American seedsmen. There Is also an Italian summer squash under' the name of Cocozelle. which is offered by a few-seedsmen.- These last have long vines, and should be given as much as eight or ten feet between hills. Winter sqnashes such as. Hubbard. Green and Yellow, Delicious and Bos­ ton Marrow require the cultural treat­ ment given above, but shou?ff"be given ten to twelve feet distance between hills. Winter squashes should be stored In a dry place where the tem­ perature does not go below 4." degrees or 50 degrees F. An upstairs room is much better for this purpose than a cellar. The fruits must be thoroughly ripened, but not frosted.

FOR INCREASED CORN YIELDS Gain of 6.31 Bushels Per Acre by Thinning Secured at 'Ohio Sta­ tion on Tested Seed. Thinning corn has resulted in a gain, as a four-year average at the Ohio experiment station, of 6.31 bush­ els per acre In the case of seed tested for germination before planting, and of 8.47 bushels in tbe case of untested seed. The average tiine required for thinning an acre of corn was 5.7 hours. In one case three kernels were plant­ ed per hill, and on the plot in com­ parison a generous quantity of seed was dropped and the plants were thinned to three per hill when 6 to 8 inches high. With tested seed an av­ erage yield of 59.28 bushels per acre was obtained with corn planted three kernels per hill, and 65.59 bushels per acre was harvested from thinned corn. With untested seed a yield of 55.38 bushels per acre was secured from regular planting and 63.85 bushels per acre where the corn was thinned. With corn at only 50 cents a bushel, one would make 65 cents an hour by thin­ ning on this basis. VACANT LAND ALONG FENCES Not Many Farmers Ever Think of Amount of Waste Strips on Either Side of Barriers. Few farmers stop to think how much land is taken up by the fences. The fence itself takes little room, but it is Impossible to grow anything for sev­ eral feet on both sides of the fence. The department of agriculture reports that the ordinary rail fence occupies a strip over 12 feet wide. About 3,600 feet of such a fence takes up an acre of land. Hedges take up a little more than the rail fence, the width varying according to the width of the hedge row. TOMATOES ON SINGLE STEM Set Plants Eighteen Inches Apart In Rbwi Three Feet Wide--Pinch Out All Shoots. Where tomatoes are to be trained to a single stem, the plants are set 18 inches apart in rows three feet wide. As soon as the young plant begins to grow after being transplanted it sends out branches or shoots from the axis of the leaves. When these shoots ap­ pear pinch them out, which will cause the main stalk to shoot up very rapid­ ly. Put up a stake five feet tall and tie the plant to it. As the plant grows more suckers will form. Continue to pinch these out and train the plant to the stake. The fruit will be formed on flower clusters about six Inches apart on the main stem.' The method of training does not produce as many tomatoes per plant, but the fruit is much larger in size and of higher quality. This method al lows a great many more plants per acre, therefore the yield per acre 1 greatly Increased. SEEDBED AND CULTIVATION BREEDING FOR HEAVY LAYERS Two Hundred-Egg Hen Is Possibility When Attention to Essential Points Is Given. The 290-egg hen is a possibility when selection and breeding are given the necessary attention. The few who took up this line of breeding, with such startling results, soon created a spirit of emulation among other fanc­ iers. Now there are a great many flocks of pure-bred fowls that have been line-bred for egg production for years. ESTIMATED COST OF DUCKS Ranges From Eight to Twelve Cents Per Pound, Depending on Current Prices jsf Grain. It Is estimated by poultrymen mak­ ing a specialty of growing ducks that the feed cost per pound of producing duck meat ranges from 8 cents to 12 Cgnt3, depending upon. th<? current •flees of gram and other feeds. Most Important Reason for Cultivat­ ing Crops Is to Conserve Sup ply of Moisture. The conservation of soil moisture is the most iniportant reason for culti­ vating crops. The two. other princi­ pal things accomplished by cultiva­ tion are the killing of weeds which draw moisture and plantfood from the crops, and the aeration of the soil. Too much stress cannot be laid on the preparation of a good seedbed. A seedbed of fine tilth--made so by deep plowing, careful harrowing, and fining of the soil--Is the foundation of good gardening. It is essential for the proper germination and growth of young plants. The soil must be fri­ able and free from clods. A clod can hold no planffood in-solution,'the only form in which it is available for the plant. Good soil and fine tilth Insure an excellent root system to plants t pou the tine, hairy, fibrous, feeding roots, which are possible only In well- tilled soil, the plant depends for its stockiness and growth. The careful gardener will regard his whole garden as a seedbed and will cultivate and fertilize it accordingly^ Mt* GIVE HENS PLENTY OF ROOM Crowding Decreases Egg Production and Increases Feed Bill--Have Nests Clean. If your house is built to accommo­ date 50 hens, keep that many, and try to keep them in the best possible shape for profit--you will get It. But if you try to crowd in 50 per cent more yon will require more feed and will have fewer eggs. It is pure greed which often renders a flock unprofitable.

United States, places the subject of applied psychology on a high plane In relation to the war. He states: * "Whatever system has been em­ ployed. it Is evident that applied psychology has produced results in this war which It was never possible to attain before. Men have endured more, they have shown more heroism and daring and have submitted to more punishment than in any pre­ vious war. No such slaughter would have been possible in former wars without provoking a panic. This has unquestionably been due to the sys­ tem of psychological selection, not only for the various grades of service but for special activities within each grade. Our country may as well think of going to war without first-class mil­ itary equipment as without a knowl­ edge of applied psychology. The coun­ cil of national defense seems to have recognized this; and the National Re­ search council within that body will, I understand, contain ^representative psychologists." . m His Trouble.
